We ate here for lunch. Everything is vegan and gluten free. I've had difficulties at vegan restaurants in the past, but zero problems here. I had dessert for lunch: pumpkin pie, a matcha latte and Strawberry shortcake. It was deelicious!

This place is phenomenal. The food is soooo good for meat lovers as well as vegans. My daughter was disappointed that I was taking her to a vegan restaurant. Then she couldn’t decide what she wanted because it all sounded good. We were both very happy with our meals. They were delicious. Highly recommend!!!!

Delicious food, lots of fresh, healthy options, and some comfort food options, too. Perfect lunch/breakfast spot.

This spot is amazing! It smells so good every time you walk in, and even though it might not be advertised hard, the entire place is gluten-free. I had a really delicious chai with coconut milk and a breakfast wrap. Their gluten-free wrap is delicious, and even if you’re not vegan, the bacon, tofu egg, and cheese are all really delicious. My husband didn’t love his avocado toast, but the wrap is definitely worth a visit. Their food is super healthy, organic, and even their water is filtered.

This is my boyfriends favorite place to go! Completely gluten free with amazing options! It is very pricey though, but worth it on occasion
Dedicated GF
AMAZING!!!!! super friendly staff - so many interesting and fun things in the menu. a total gem. would go here all the time if i lived nearby!

We visit this restaurant a few times a year. I always get the BLT wrap, which is yummy. Everything in the menu is GF. The only thing that keeps me from going back more is this place is also dairy free. Their priority is the vegan community but this is a great place to go and support.

Completely GF with good food 😀Good prices and didnt get sick. Can't ask for more
Dedicated GF
This was a very unexpected pleasant surprise!!! I seriously can not stop thinking of my fantastic breakfast this morning! I had THE best blueberry and pecan waffle with rosemary home fries and my daughter (non GF) had a banana and chocolate chip waffle. She LOVED it just as much as I loved mine. You’d never know it’s gluten free and vegan. I wish I lived closer! Seattle hasn’t figured out a good waffle place yet.

Yummy food! I enjoyed a spinach and artichoke quesadilla and chocolate mousse. Everything is gluten free and vegan.

Delicious breakfast, friendly and inviting place! Note that the menu is not appropriate for anyone with a nut allergy - but for dairy free and gluten free, it's wonderful. I got the Super Cindy Pocket (a wrap that's been pannini'd) and you would not even know it was vegan, it was so good! The Dandy Mushroom latte was also delicious.

Great food and all is GF

They're GF, but if you have any other food allergies or sensitivities, I'd be very cautious. They only have some menu items marked with allergens. My boyfriend and I went there because I'm gluten free– he got something that was NOT marked with a tree nut allergen (even though other menu items were marked). He had an allergic reaction and we had to go to the ER, only to find out there were tree nuts in the dish, and it simply wasn't marked on the menu.

Great cafe that is 100% gluten free (and vegan). It is a real treat to be able to order anything on a menu. Lots of variety, food was delicious, and excellent service.

Highly recommend the GF Waffles! Absolutely delicious and my non GF husband says you wouldn’t even know they are GF.

If you have celiac disease and you’re sensitive to any cross contamination, be careful! I have a Nima gluten sensor and although the breakfast burrito was gluten free, there was gluten found in the cashew based cheesecake. I imagine that the nuts have traces of wheat. The staff was very friendly and their intentions are very good! However, I’m not sure you can call this a dedicated gluten free facility. If you’re not sensitive to cross contamination, then give this place a try!
Portias is a must in Columbus! The food is so yummy and all gf. The staff are always very kind. Love a totally celiac safe place.
Dedicated GF
I love Portia's. Celiac-safe. very delicious, fresh ingredients, quick service. ALso safe for non-dairy and some other allergies. Update: it’s been a few years since I first posted this review, and I’m still delighted with Portia’s - always safe, always fresh, friendly and tasty.

Everything was quite tasty. In particular, I loved the coconut bacon in the "BLT." Friendly staff and an amazing yarn store next door.

I LOVE going to a restaurant where I don’t have to worry about what I order or how it’s prepared... the food is fresh and delicious :) thanks Portia for making this the best vegan and GF place to eat!!!
Dedicated GF
Poor customer service. My order was not at all a replica of what I ordered after an hour wait. It happened twice, I always give local business a second chance. Way under staffed
Dedicated GF
One of my go-tos, friendly staff and excellent food.
They promote anti-vaccine ideology and sell propaganda saying that things such as celiac disease (as well as autism, ADHD, etc) are caused by vaccines

Love this place. We've been here several times when we go to Columbus. No one has gotten sick, and there are so many choices. You can't go wrong! I wish we could eat vegan and gluten free more often like we do at Portia's.
Went there once with a friend, became slightly ill within 15 minutes. Won't be going back.
Excellent food! All vegan and GF. Many raw options. Loved by my non-GF family members as well.
100% gluten free, excellent food and home made. I would eat there every day if I lived nearby
5 Stars for hard core glutten free.... the caption should read -
"Look us up on Find Me Gluten Free"
3.5 Stars overall
Earthy
the focus is very heavy on earthy purity at the expense of general appeal
My lunch was great but non mainstream
What a lovely little place! It’s GF and vegan, too. They also have a list of other allergens they don’t use. I’ve been twice, and loved it both times. I believe I got the strawberry milkshake with cacao powder and then some wraps both times. Cheesecake in the fridge is to DIE FOR. Definitely stop here if you’re in the area! We will be for sure.
Gluten free facility. I had the Pad Thai, waffles, and burrito wrap. The macaroons are also delicious! Tight space, but they did well with two small children, too.
It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to order every single thing on the menu without worrying about getting sick! Portia’s is also vegan, which is much lighter than I’m used to, but still totally delicious! I will definitely be going back on a weekend to try their waffles
EVERYTHING in the place is gf and vegan. To top it off they have onion or garlic or onion and garlic free options for those working with a low fodmap diet. Only possible allergen I could see that could be an issue would be a nut allergy as many many recipes are made with nuts. Excellent place. Oh how I wish I lived closer!
Completely Gluten Free facility and delicious. Lots of options that taste great and are healthy.
Totally gluten free!!! Great little cafe. Good selection on the menu. Had waffles with apples and walnuts. Yummy!
Delicious food with HUGE variety. Have taken two non GF eaters and they enjoyed it.
Love that they are dedicated gluten-free, no worries about cross-contamination. Server clarified that there was no meat before we ordered. Really liked how friendly and informative they were.. we may have ordered wrong… I got a lettuce wrap Mediterranean and my daughter got a quesadilla. She did not like her so much
We found Portia's Cafe through this app and it was a great fine. Great service and all items on the menu are GF and vegan. The staff was well educated about each items. Sunday's special was waffles. We will be back on Sunday again.
There were so many items on the menu that I wanted to try! I was very excited that on the dips and starters menu they offer samplers. We choose a 1/2 of sampler. We had traditional hummus and spinach artichoke dip. Both were beyond amazing. The spinach artichoke dip, which is also called Spanko is made with spinach, collard greens kale and more! YUMMM You can choose your scoopers so we choose tortilla chips and rice crackers. Both Little Chef and I enjoyed our starter! We had lots of other yummies as well! The menu choices are amazing and bountiful. On Sundays they serve gluten-free vegan waffles. Yes, I am pretty sure we need to return on a Sunday with the entire family! The atmosphere is fun, calm, accepting and just right for our experience.
amazing!!!!!!!! wonderful selection, pure healthy goodness! one of our party requires a dairy free diet, so the daiya cheeze and house-made vegan sour cream were a lovely find. and the selection of desserts! gluten and dairy free cheesecake! we plan on coming here again!
