East End Eatery

Such a great, cute restaurant with amazing gluten free options and dedicated menu. I got the GF blueberry waffle with eggs and bacon and it was amazing! The staff was kind and the atmosphere was so peaceful. Can’t wait to go back. It’s always nice to eat at a restaurant that understands food allergies.

I have Celiac and have eaten here the last two years. Super accommodating and are aware of cross contamination. They have their own gluten free specific equipment. I’ve never had a reaction. Love!

My favorite place in town to eat. If I could eat here every day, I would. They are SUPER accommodating of dietary restrictions, and have even brought out products for me (when ordering) to let me double check that all ingredients listed on the container are okay for me to consume. They go above and beyond every time. One of the few restaurants I can eat at that puts such care into their customers' dining experience.

Amazing GF french toast! Very careful preventing cross-contamination. Nice ambiance with local art. Friendly owner.

I spoke to the owner, she has taken great care in establishing a Celiac safe environment.

Cash only. Amazing waffle! Server was new and unsure about some menu items, but took me seriously and went to ask the kitchen when she didn’t know. Great atmosphere

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It is cash only. The food was amazing. I had gluten free waffle that had lots of flavor. It was a quaint little cafe.

Wonderful!!! They have the best waffles and plenty of other options. Dedicated waffle fryer and they take every precaution to avoid cross contamination. If you’re on 75 heading through the area you must stop!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

gluten free waffle on their sunday brunch menu was delicious!

Super cute place, but...unfortunately I got a croutons fried in with my potatoes. I informed the server that I have celiac disease as soon as I entered the restaurant. The manager came out and said that he didn't write gluten free on the order so the kitchen staff were not protective about cross contamination. The staff were friendly and I'm sure they are normally very careful, but accidents happen and now I'm left with the repercussions.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Most menu items could be modified for GF. We had GF blueberry waffles, omelettes, and there is a GF French toast option! And you can bring your dog and sit on the patio. :)

Awesome waffles and very friendly service!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful variety of options!

Took a co-worker to East End Eatery who ordered a gluten-free waffle while I ordered a regular waffle. When the waitress gave our plates, we asked her if the plates were correct. She had to ask her manager to look at our waffles because she didn't know the visual differences between a gluten waffle and a gluten-free waffle. Turns out our waitress had switched the plates and giving my co-worker a regular waffle with gluten. A very scary moment for us that could have been prevented

Food was delicious. Menu had several gluten-free options. Atmosphere was quaint. Service was kind but careless, switching both our sides and waffles, even in an empty restaurant.

Nevertheless, it was Celiac-friendly. Just double check they gave you the right order...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was excited to try a new place as I'm both gluten and dairy free, but I was not impressed here. The food was okay, but not really worth what they charged. I was charged extra for vegan cheese, though it was not mentioned to me by the server or noted on the menu. The service was not good either as we were rushed out and not spoken to kindly at all. The server also tried to give me the wrong plate as another person mentioned. You're better off cooking at home than going here. So sad.

Went today and it was great! And they watch all the cross contamination

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a great place for families! My kids loved their board games and play area. The owner came out to speak with me about my order. Very well versed in gluten free and vegan options. My daughter and I loved the gf blueberry waffles. They also had yummy looking omelets, Gouda grits, and breakfast potatoes.

We were so impressed with this restaurant! We had a party of 9, one of which was Celiac. The staff was very friendly and well aware of celiac and cross contamination. They offered real gf choices as well as non-gf choices. Everyone was happy, which is not an easy feat with a large group!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There are not a lot of places where those of us with Celiac can get AMAZING gluten free blueberries waffles! Did I say that my waffle was amazing? The owner actually heard me say I had Celiac and personally came to tell me what I should or shouldn't order. AND they don't charge extra for gf options like most places so. They cater too!! Awesome find for Celiac friends!

Owner very knowledgable about Celiac and cross contamination. Have dedicated cooking station and equipment like a separate waffle maker. My kids love it there especially their play area. Lots ofvgreat Breakfast options and typically have atleast one GF special for lunch e.g. Meatloaf, Fried Fish. Just remember that it's cash only!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not completely gluten free… I'm not certain about the breakfast menu, BUT, the only gluten-free options on the lunch menu consisted of paninis made with millet bread and a regular side salad. They offered "the side of the day" which was macaroni, gluten included. I ordered the side salad and was brought macaroni salad. They switched it out but the same sandwich was redelivered to me. I did not appreciate the man taking our order with an open fly either!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Best gluten free breakfast in gainesville
