Gluten-Free Restaurants near Oak Park, IL

“Love at first bite!

I can't say enough about how well both lunch specials tasted. Peak level of flavors and a warm touch of authentic family cooking. The pad thai sauce was amazing and an instant recommendation. The Pad kee mao noodles texture were tender and bouncy. The spice was above medium and enhanced the meal. The teas had a balanced sweetness and plenty of textures.
The music playlist matched the cozy and bold color pops. The staff were very friendly and offered some samples of the delicious Ube ice cream. Over all my new favorite Thai restaurant and will explore more of the menu.“

“Best bakery ever!!! Absolutely everything is delicious!!!“

“I’ve been going to Addis for the past 7 years and rarely skip a day… What drew me in was the very best tasting pour over that I’ve ever had and what keeps me coming back is the family feeling: from the friendly crew behind the counter to the local residents who make Addis a must have part of their daily routine, this place is well worth a try. I guarantee that once you try Addis coffee, their amazing waffles, avocado toast, Ethiopian chechebsa, turmeric lattes etc… you will be hooked!“

“Jaesung General manager is amazing this is the best location for Bibibop. He really knows how to run a great business. Everything is well thought out and all details are perfect. The proof is in the whole store from the bathroom to the clean tables to the fresh and tasty food. Thank you Jaesung Lee! Cesar was really nice when we just met him today 11-18-24 (general manager trainee) … wishing you the best in your future location bc this is a great place to train! If I could give Bibibop Des Plaines 10 stars of 5, I would! What an amazing deal, $10.99 for a ton of food in a bowl (tax $1.21) and tip is optional, amazing taste, amazing quality of ingredients, amazing freshness of food, amazing cleanliness, fresh flowers at each table, amazing indoor and outdoor decor. Great for someone who appreciates Chipotle for the generous portions and vegetarian and non vegetarian choices. Nitya ... staff person, was so sweet and remembered to add cucumbers I wasn't enabled to on the online order app and brought the to go order directly to me. The food is also amazing bc it stays true to Korean food fused with fresh veges and both Korean and non Korean based like glass sweet potato noodles or salad or purple or white rice. The flavors are authentic to Korean food items also. Online you can ask for extra of one the free included sides which is nice. The sides are healthful and tastes great. The staff (diverse staff) and manager (who looked Korean to me which is nice to keep authenticity) are always cleaning...authentic to the Korean way of non stop standards of cleanliness. The bathroom is immaculate and non odorous. I got a glass noodle (which is made of sweet potato) base bowl with tofu (cooked perfectly with just right saltiness, broccoli, beans, steamed and fried potatoes, red cabbage, corn, kale, and KIMCHI of course! What Korean dish comes without kimchi and it's perfect inside bc I grew up adding kimchi to everything like ramen or pizza or soup. Also FREE miso soup w tofu and scallion. You can serve it yourself anytime. Drinks are creative and yummy. Thank you Mr Shin (owner of this chain) for creating such a great deal with yummy Korean foods that help me eat for balance and wellness. Thank you to the manager of this Des Plains location for doing an excellent job! If I could, I would eat here everyday. You won't be disappointed. Free and ample parking in the mall and it's right next to Panera. NOTE: if you download the app, you get an immediate 11 points and a FREE bowl that you can enjoy in 12 days from the purchase of your 1st bowl. See pics! What a great deal. I am telling all my friends to come. Everytime I come to this location I am so happy bc the food is always fresh and portions are great and it’s super clean … the chefs do a great job and staff are so sweet and the staff also clean and they keep it immaculate. Thank you also for keeping music lower and not hurting my ears.

Vegetarian options: Im vegetarian and its a haven for me but also great for meat eaters. So everyone is happy.

Parking: Big lot and free as part of a mall

Kid-friendliness: Big and fun and colorful

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor and plenty of space“

“Very good gluten free bread! I've tried the small baguettes and pretzel rolls so far and both were excellent. Gluten free eating is getting better all the time and this bread is proof. It has really improved since I was diagnosed in 2011. Thank goodness.“

“This late night vegan food really hit the spot! So yummy!“

“Auntie Amy has made our lives so much simpler, and tastier. Kateri's desserts are out of this world (so to speak).“

“I made a reservation for the mothers day tea event and I'm am so glad I did! The food was delicious and the portions sizes were perfect! The tea was delicious and everyone was kind as usual! I hope they hold more events like this one! It was a fun and delicious event! I tell everyone about this place when I can.“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“Wonderful service and excellent rolls!! Overall great experience“

“I had such a lovely surprise and delight visiting Macaron Bar for the first time. Such a cute spot. I had to try the coconut and pistachio macarons! The coconut was spectacular!!! What a beautiful balance of flavors. This place is a 10000/10. You have to stop by a grab a box and try every single flavor!“

“SBK is everything… the pastries and cookies are so delicious, always a decadent treat. The savory sandwiches, so flavorful with house made sauces in the mix. Weekends start off right with an SBK pizza on a Friday night. I’ve been coming here for years. During Covid, SBK became my local grocery store. One of my favorite establishments in Chicago, I will always be a fan.“

“Our server was amazing! Had a wonderful time ❤️“

“Service was amazing and ice cream was excellent! We went without reading reviews with our 3 year old. He doesn’t scare easily, but the super loud music and scary animal farm theme was… a lot. Just not what I normally expect at an ice cream “shoppe” (shoppe with that spelling always has a quant vibe), with quotes on the walls about dead humans and such. Clearly a lot of love goes into the decor, and I’m not tucking anyone else’s yum- hence the five stars. But I did worry that the mannequins and paintings might give a young kid some nightmares. Fortunately he mostly looked at the ceiling, which is a super cool cloudscape. So, yeah. Amazing service, ice cream, and super friendly… just feels at odds with the decor.“

“Yummy food! Awesome service! Full bar! Such fun vibes! Definitely check it out!“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“This review is for the cookbook- This is the second cookbook I’ve purchased from The Chicago Diner, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. Every recipe I’ve tried so far has been packed with flavor, easy to follow, and the kind of food that makes you excited to cook. You can feel the same passion and creativity that I am sure has made their restaurant legendary woven into every page. The instructions are clear, the ingredient lists are accessible, and the results? Absolutely delicious, whether you’re cooking for longtime vegetarians, curious omnivores, or anyone in between. I love that it offers both classic comfort foods and inventive twists, so there’s always something new to try. Owning two of their cookbooks now, I can say without hesitation that The Chicago Diner has earned a permanent spot on my kitchen shelf. If you want recipes that are approachable, satisfying, and guaranteed to impress, this book is a must have!“

“Today CheSa was in my building The Franklin downtown and of course I had to support my own! I got the 4 cheese Mac/jerk chicken bowl. Not too spicy but had a nice kick. Chicken was tender. Only issue is the juice from the chicken made the Mac and Cheese runny at the bottom“

“I ordered the gluten free deep dish stuffed pizza and let me tell you, BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD. CRIED TEARS OF JOY BECAUSE IT WAS THAT GOOD. 10/10, CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.“

“The atmosphere is relaxed. The service is pleasant. The Parisienne sandwich makes me realize how wonderful simple can be. I crave that sandwich. I ate it for lunch today and already can’t wait for the next time.“

“OH! Are you in for a TREAT when you dine here. The food is sensational. We have traveled all of the world and lived all over the United States. The cuisine here is unique and out of this world. The recipes are unique to this restaurant. We have eaten at other Ethiopian restaurants. They do not even register next to this one. The Proprietor is SOOOOO nice. And, ask him what brought him to the United States. It's an emotionally moving story. If you haven't had Ethiopian cuisine before, it is NOT scary. There are hardy vegetarian and meatatarian dishes. So, there's something for everyone. And, the dishes that are spicy are mild. So, don't worry about your sensitive belly. The meal is a SHARED experience. So, make sure you bring friends. They will thank you afterwards for sure☺“

“Be quick at ordering because there’s going to be a line! Good news is that I have the sense nothing is bad here. I got a ham and cheese and mustard croissant which was perfect, and the banana coffee cake which was DIVINE. Just wish they could do a toasted and creamed bagel, so 4 stars for customer service.“

“This place. Wow. Like a well-oiled pastry machine. I have gone there sporadically over the past couple years but really buckled down and started committing to every Sunday these past few weeks. lol. The variety is just astounding and the quality is second to none. I always have the intention of leaving with 2 or 3 things but so far haven't managed to leave with less than 9 or 10 at each visit. Take my money!!!!!!“

“LOVE Smack Dab!! I live in RP and walking to Smack Dab always makes my day. The coffee is amazing. The vibes are so cute and so are the folks that work there. Recommend 100/10.“

“excellent food and service! great vegetarian and vegan selection as well“

“I drive 2 hours 1 way to get their treats! Celiac safe!“

“The people that work at this locationj are very professional, Isee them put wash their hands &put on a fresh pair of gloves after they finish a transaction. They also serve a decent amount of food.
The girls that work are always in a good mood and service is fast and friendly. :)
The guys are also in a good mood and the service is fast and friendly;)
I love that when I go there they have everything fresh and everything is in stock and if there’s a waiting time, it’s not more than 10 minutes and the cookies are amazing for dessert. I love that the food is gluten-free even the cookie!
The price is just right for lunch or dinner!
I enjoy dining in the dining room.,, is always clean and I enjoy the plants on the table.
I enjoy and appreciate the free miso soup, especially on cold wintry afternoons!
Thank you ! Got a chance to speak to Julian

“fantastic fresh and tasty cookies~ but, their brownies are even better😍🙌 I received a corporate freebie from NJC. When my package arrived it was not in perfect condition....having traveled through a snow storm and a holiday weekend...it was disappointing..(FedEx, not them) I called them to say hello and alert them to my sadness....They not only replaced the promo box, but added extra goodies and shipped it overnight with a sweet message from the owner. 👍😍 First Class all the way...And, AMAZING sweets! I'd recommended this company for any corporate gift program. Thanks Jonathan.“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“I’ve been loving Loba’s pineapple sourdough muffins. They are beyond delicious! I’m not vegan, but these vegan pastries are life changing! I also am a big fan of their cold brew. This Christmas, I decided to try their take-n-bake kouign-amann; and OMG my family and I were IN LOVE with the Ham & Gruyere kouign-amann! I will need to reorder this again next year!! 100% recommend!“

“Met for a brainstorming session…their coffee is a catalyst for sure! Great selection of healthy options with just enough sinful options to keep it balanced!“
