OH MY! I cannot wait to go here and try out the food. I am super impressed by what I found while searching the menu today, which you can download via a search of the link above.

Every item on the menu is marked with a pictograph for the contained allergens. They also have a ledger with each menu item by name and the associated allergens listed alphabetically alongside.

It is a pretty incredible thing to see this level of communication. It is also seriously considerate and appreciated.

I’m going this weekend so either I’ll see you there or you’ll see me here next week to share food impressions!

Update by Diane 3/19/2024. Agave & Rye has come to Eton Square in Woodmere. There are also locations elsewhere in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Alabama.

Noodles & Company is a chain that offers a variety of fresh, made-to-order dishes from their “Gluten Sensitive” menu. Dishes can be made with rice noodles or zucchini noodles or gluten-free pipette shells. Some of the gluten-friendly options include Pad Thai, Zucchini Pesto with Grilled Chicken, and Gluten-Sensitive Pipette Mac & Cheese.

They also have salads which are gluten-free or can be modified to be gluten-free.

They have an interactive nutrition and allergen page and ordering in their app presents the many available options.

The menu has the usual caveat: “Made without gluten-containing ingredients but potential for cross-contact exists.”

The friendly staff said that if an order has an allergy designation they follow a protocol.

I ordered a zucchini noodle dish, which I quite enjoyed, and the lid had an allergy note.
