Gluten-Free Restaurants near Hamden, CT

“We had our wedding tasting here. So delicious!!“

“I first saw Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies at a craft show at the High Plains Community Center. I tried a sampler of six (out of the eight available) flavors: • Traditional chocolate chip • Salted caramel • S'mores • Cannoli • Blueberry lemon • Orange creamsicle The other flavors were oatmeal raisin walnut and peanut butter chocolate chip. The six flavors I had were absolutely amazing. The cookies were light and flavorful, absolutely delicious. They make gift baskets too, so you can share the goodness. Highly recommended.“

“I went to a Teriyaki Madness restaurant in Handen for the first time yesterday and it was a great experience. The food was delicious, healthy and fresh, and the best part was the service. The attendants, Chelsea, Amaya and Jenaya were simply wonderful. They helped us choose the best deal and order, and they were extremely friendly throughout the whole process. My family and I loved it and we will definitely recommend it.“

“We used Eli's On Whitney to celebrate my dad’s passing instead of doing a traditional funeral, and this was 100% the right choice.

We rented the downstairs space, which comfortably held around 50–80 people and gave us room to make it feel personal... memory tables, photos, all of it. They were very easy to work with from the beginning and let us have a lot of control over how everything looked and felt, which mattered a lot for something like this.

We went over all the food options ahead of time and everything was clearly laid out and communicated (timing, setup, etc.), which made the day itself run smoothly without us having to think about it. The buffet worked well for a gathering like this and everything came out on time.

There is an option for a bar downstairs, but we kept it upstairs..which worked out... It gave people a chance to step away, take a breath, and come back when they were ready.
Only thing to note is the downstairs space isn’t wheelchair accessible, so just something to keep in mind depending on your group.

They made something that could have been overwhelming feel really manageable. It didn’t feel like a “package” event..it felt like we were able to do it our way, and that meant a lot.

Would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for a space that’s flexible, organized, and easy to work with..especially for more personal gatherings like this.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bmuse Café is consistently amazing! Fresh, healthy, made-to-order food that never disappoints. The oriental salad with grilled chicken is my favorite, and their sides like potato salad, fresh fruit, and yogurt parfaits are delicious. Perfect spot for a quick, quality lunch — highly recommend!“

“The best friendly service with a smile and best pizza around ???❤“

“Hands down the best pancakes I have had.“

“Fresh, delicious, creative choices.“

“I had to review on Facebook because I already posted a Google review. I am obsessed with this place and the staff and the food. I came two nights in a row for my birthday (one night with family and the other night with friends). My waitresses were Mia and Jade. They were sensational!!! Mia was amazing and remembered I ordered the chocolate dipped strawberries for the next evening and made sure to have them prepared and ready to go. Jade went above and beyond for my birthday bringing me beautifully decorated plates. They made my birthday weekend so special!! I miss the Darien location in the sense that it wasn’t this easily accessible haha. They will get tired of seeing my face (especially at happy hour!)“

“Alyssa’s Cakery absolutely knocked it out of the park! They created the most incredible gluten and dairy-free wedding cake for us, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. The flavor was unreal - rich, moist, and absolutely delicious. You would never know it was allergen-friendly. Every guest who tried it was blown away. The presentation was perfection. The cake was beyond anything we could have imagined for our wedding day… elegant, beautifully detailed, and crafted with so much care. It looked like something out of a magazine. From start to finish, Alyssa’s Cakery delivered quality, artistry, and heart. We couldn’t be more grateful and will be recommending them to everyone we know!“

“My girlfriend and I were there for the first time tonight and everything was amazing. My girlfriend has multiple allergies and our waiter Eric was more than accommodating. He took his time to make sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious, my mango margarita was excellent. This place is a must visit. The food service industry needs more people like Eric. I hope he gets the chance to see this and his manager should be proud of him ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love the food (like everyone else). HOWEVER - I HATE THE SUPER LOUD MUSIC!!! They won't turn it down when I've asked. I hope, in their newly renovated space, they have some area where it's not so noisy. I'm not 18 years old and like to hear what my partner has to say!!!!!!“

“I have been going to Carson’s for many years now. I recommend everything regarding this restaurant. The food is delicious and always consistent. The bar and the drink menu and selection is exceptional. The restaurant is always sparkling clean and the service couldn’t get any better. Rick the Manager works alongside them like Family and you feel right at home every time you walk in the door. ;)“
