Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream

Chagrin Falls

Chagrin Falls is home to a Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream Scoop Shop and it is splendid to order ice cream there.

Most flavors are gluten free as noted on the menu.

The server was very helpful and offered to scoop from unopened containers to avoid cross contact with the waffle cones and bowls.

We weren’t the only ice cream lovers to enjoy the sweet treat while admiring the falls.

Hyde Park in Beachwood has been a family go-to for special occasions for many years.

I had another terrific experience last night. Family getting together for the first time in a very long time with much to celebrate.

When I arrived at the restaurant I spoke with a manager who said that the server would be able to make sure to have GF food. And, boy, did I.

The server was knowledgeable about the menu items and said she would check to make sure accompanying sauces would be safe for me to eat.

As each course was brought to the table the plate was announced to be gluten free before it was set before me.

The food was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Made only better by the delightful company.

I look forward to more visits to this long-standing establishment.

Bibibop Asian Grill

100% GF Multiple locations

Bibibop is now 100% Gluten-Free

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!

Two Cafe and Boutique

Checked out Two Cafe and Boutique today and came away with an Americano and a fresh made Organic Egg Scramble with gf toast!

Check out their site for the full menu. You’ll see consideration made for allergens but be advised that this is not a dedicated gluten free establishment. That being said, they were very knowledgeable and considerate to my questions.

They also have available prepackaged baked goods from a dedicated gf kitchen in Chagrin Falls, OH.

The starting point is our training center: The Two Café and Boutique. The Two Café and Boutique is more than a local farm – to – fork café and coffee shop, we exist to provide real work experience and employment for individuals with exceptionalities in a fully integrated setting.
