Cafe Patachou

When they say the brownie is the world's best gluten free brownie, THEY MEAN IT! I also had the chicken salad sandwich, was so yummy on the gluten free sourdough. I loved the food, I love the ease of ordering online, menu is well marked. I did take a star off only because I paid over 40 bucks for 2 people, and only one had to order gf. Definitely more pricey than I thought but I'd pay it again! Highly recommend.

This place is awesome! They have specific gluten free items like sourdough and cinnamon bread for sandwiches or toast, as well as waffles. They also take precautions such as separate pans for gluten free menu items and use dedicated waffle irons and toasters for these items as well. I had a delicious omelet with an arugula salad and sourdough toast with strawberry jam. I don’t live near here, but when I’m back in town I will absolutely return.

This is a wonderful restaurant and they do have many gf options, but they switched my lunch with another at my table and I had eaten some of a sandwich that wasn’t gf. Disappointed to say the least

This place was wonderful being Celiac. I’ve always had a lot of food anxiety and I was reassured that the GF waffle was made in a designated area with a designated waffle press. I’m sensitive to oats so my waitress brought out a book with all of the recipes so I could double check the ingredients! Waffles were delicious and restaurant was clean and nice! Great place for sensitive celiacs!

We found this place by recommendation of this app and the people that leave reviews. It did NOT disappoint! Delicious GF waffles. I had a breakfast sandwich with GF sour dough bread. All was so delicious and the waitress was knowledgeable and grabbed us the bottles of things she wasn’t sure on, like the hot chocolate mix. My daughter and I loved this place and she did not get sick in anyway. A bit pricey, but worth it to enjoy vacation not getting sick. Also, kitchen has safe areas for the gluten free food and food was also makes with a health flag on arrival.

In town for the weekend and saw good reviews. We stopped in for lunch but they were busy so we ordered to go. Açaí bowl, salmon ‘bagel’ substituted with GF bread and Cuban breakfast were amazing! We will definitely be back before we leave!

Waiter was very professional. I was confident and trusting in him that I didn’t use a Nima capsules. No issues and I know within 15 minutes often or any CC and it’s been 3 hours.

My wife and I are not celiac, but choose to eat GF. We travel quite a bit and are constantly trying out GF restaurants. This is one of favorites ever. Their GF waffle at breakfast is outstanding. Many other choices that are excellent. You will not go wrong by eating here. Trust me on this one.

The quality and quantity were outstanding.

Excellent food with gluten free options. I had lunch and breakfast. They had separate waffle iron for gf. Best waffle ever!

Great brunch place! Staff was knowledgeable and accommodating regarding Celiac needs and cross-contamination. Separate prep area for GF food, and the meal came out with a red flag in it to note that it was GF. Would definitely come here again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was great. Didn’t get sick.

When i went service wasn’t great. It was on a convention weekend and the place was kind of crazy, so maybe that’s why. Still, a story:

I had a make your own omelet and told them I need it to be cooked separately. When it arrived there was one piece of bacon inside, and bacon wasn’t one of my toppings. So I’m not totally sure about how separate they made it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free Belgium Waffle was excellent!

Staff was knowledgeable & menu labeled GF options. I’m very sensitive & did not get sick! Had the gf waffle

Since the gf bread switch I have not eaten here as often, used to go twice a week. Native oat bread is made in a shared kitchen on shared equipment, the staff does not share this. Not safe for those with celiac disease like me!!!

Staff was extremely knowledgeable about Celiac and cross contamination. I have eaten here 3 times in 3 days and everything is great. They put a little flag on your plate to show it’s gluten free and do everything they can to prevent cross contamination. I tested their gluten free waffle with my Nima tester and it came out truly gluten free :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was delicious, was just passing through Indianapolis and didn't realize I was going to be eating at a rich hoity toity place, very pricey.

Great Coffee! And Memosa for Breakfast ☺ Very Busy Place !!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu items labeled as gluten free are misleading - the soup said gluten free but was served with croutons. Waiter didn’t seem knowledgeable on why this was a problem. Would eat here again but would ask more questions about the food and prep.

Celiac, ate there two days in a row. On the second day I learned the candied walnuts were prepared in flour on their spinach salad. Their protocol, marking your food with flags is good but don't let your guard down. Question the prep of your food. I will eat there again. I will just be more careful.

Staff is very knowledgeable, menu has many GF options to choose from - with openness to customizing other menu options for food allergies. Food was wonderful!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband and I recently visited Indy. Because I need to eat gluten free, it can be hard to eat while traveling, so we always appreciate restaurants that offer allergen free meals. Cafe Patachou has so many options for gluten free eaters (even waffles!). We ate at the restaurant four times because the food was that amazing. In addition to the food, price was reasonable, and the service was excellent. Each server was highly attentive to my allergy. During one visit, we witnessed a man outside the restaurant get hit by a car; one of the servers ran outside with an umbrella and stood in the pouring rain to shield first responders. He then came back in and finished his shift!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gorgeous food! Lots of great gluten free options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yes yes YES!!! Excellent wait staff. Very knowledgeable about gluten free. Safe for a Celiac. Very busy place so plan ahead and arrive early. SO WORTH THE WAIT! They have many gf options. I had the Simple Broken Yolk (eggs, white cheddar & avocado on gf toast & fruit). Toast is prepared in a separate gf toaster. AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow! Simply wow. Fantastic omelette, cinnamon toast like real. Coffee delicious!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing breakfast, sandwiches for lunch. The wait staff is well versed on celiac. I will eat there again and again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waffles are delicious!! And the staff knowledgeable, helpful, and careful. Will be going back to explore more of the menu.

This was a great find! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Our server, Michelle, was very knowledgeable about the gluten free options and attentive to all our dietary concerns. Will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF Belgian waffles! This food was absolutely amazing… You would never know that it was gluten-free. Very trendy vibe in this busy downtown cafe. Definitely a place I will return to next time I'm downtown Indy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

great job with gluten even though they were very busy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

For breakfast or lunch this place is great. Many things on the menu either are gf or can be made to be including the sandwiches. I really appreciate a place that I don't have to educate and this is one of them. tip: Ask if the specials are gf.

Excellent food, great safety precautions and lots of options! Ate here twice and it was amazing.

Delicious! They had a menu specifically for GF options. Server seemed very familiar with food allergies. When the food was brought out, the two GF meals for our party were marked with a flag. And the server confirmed that another person in our party was not GF before she set down her plate. But even more important, the GF waffle was delicious as was the GF toast. I wish we lived here!!

Amazing! This was my first time going out with celiac disease. I notified the waitress and she was very friendly about it! I got the roasted Turkey sandwich with GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH!! It was so good! And my meal even came with a little flag to notify everyone of my CD and to be careful with it!
