Bibibop Asian Grill

100% GF Multiple locations

They have multiple locations in the Cleveland area including Pinecrest, Cedar Center, University Circle, Crocker Park, Westgate and Strongsville Town Center. Also locations in Ohio and other states.

Bibibop also has a catering menu.

At the restaurant you build your own bowl with a base of rice, sweet potato noodles, and/or salad. Add your choice of grilled beef, chicken or tofu and a variety of fresh vegetables. Finish with Asian-inspired sauces.

In addition to the online menu items, in the store there was cauliflower rice base and teriyaki mushrooms available for an additional charge.

They celebrate Meatless Mondays with a discount on veggie and tofu bowls.

I enjoyed a veggie filled tofu bowl with teriyaki dressing on a recent Monday. I look forward to returning soon to try something else. So many possibilities!

Oh! What a treat for us!Despite the fact that our choices were limited due to all my allergies (seafood -all, celiac plus dairy, it just isn’t worth the bother sometimes to venture out for food cooked by a restaurant.)
But I was so intrigued by – “Singapore street food” and – a local Lakewood business run by – a husband and wife- with lots of “let us know your allergies” notices, and places to list them- black rice pudding- after we placed our carry out order online, a phone call from the wife, asking if they could sub the pork w chicken bc of a gluten uncertainty with a pork ingredient! (we longtime celiacs know that’s a good sign, paying attention)

We got our food. I will order one heat level up next time but it was a great start. It was exciting to try different food.

Dang Good Foods is also on FB. They frequently post a closed sign when they “sell out” of food for the day. Also a good sign.

Mahle’s Restaurant

Westlake

http://www.mahlesrestaurant.com My husband and I have been taking friends and family to this fine restaurant for over 20 years and have never had a bad meal. After the recent pandemic lock-down was lifted, we phoned and made a family reservation for 5 people. They have never had a gluten-free menu; however, for the past 16 years since my celiac disease diagnosis, I have eaten there many times with no problems. Wait staff for this recent visit wore masks and were as helpful as ever – it was a wonderful experience, especially in these difficult times, and we highly recommend this fine establishment. P.S. My favorite meal is prime rib with grilled scampi and baked potato – but I have also had their surf and turf, petite filet steak and lobster.

Nature’s Oasis bills itself as a “Convenience Market & Cafe”.

On a recent visit to the Shaker location I enjoyed a stroll around the small collection of fresh produce and a variety of groceries, many of them gluten free.

Then I ordered from the cafe menu. So many choices. Bagel sandwiches, waffles, GF muffins and cookies. And coffee.

I tried the GF bagel with bacon, egg whites, and cheese and sat in the light filled space where others were eating, meeting and working.

Nothing Bundt Cakes

South Euclid, Avon, Canton

First the bad news: Nothing Bundt Cakes makes beautiful (mostly) gluten filled cakes.

The (maybe) good news is that “gluten-free flavor is available at select bakeries”.

This bakery makes only bundt cakes in a variety of sizes. There were a number of flavors on display, one of which was gluten free chocolate chip.

The counter clerk shared a binder with cake ingredients and assured me that separate pans and utensils are used in preparation.

The “Bundtlet” was a large muffin size, moist and dotted with mini chocolate chips. It was topped with their signature cream cheese frosting. A truly decadent treat.

Two sizes are available gluten free. The “Bundlet” was $5 (50 cents more than the gluten filled options) and 8 inch for $25 ($3 more). The clerk said that cakes are available with 20 minutes notice.

I visited the South Euclid store located on the North side of Cedar Center – 13949 Cedar Rd, South Euclid, OH 44118.

Other nearby stores are in Avon (35925 Detroit Rd, Avon, OH 44011) and Canton (4468 Belden Village St NW, Canton, OH 44718). They may have the gluten free cakes.
