Review: This place is great, I would say they should have their menus more accessible and it’s awkward looking at what they have in their pastry display because you feel like you have to go behind the counter. I say you could skip the croissant but definitely get the puff pastry dessert. I also think that the sandwich is very basic and the bread is kind of dense so you might want to skip that as well. The scone was delicious though. I think it’s great. They have this restaurant that caters to gluten-free people and their staff was incredibly kind

Review: If you’re desperate for gluten free food (and take out a small loan) you can eat here. Gluten free doesn’t have to be boring, but NoGlu makes it happen. Breakfast foods are made cheesy in order to hide the baking soda filled bread’s sad flavor. Cookie was good!

Review: I came here with my friend who has celiac, and had she not told me, I NEVER would have guessed this wasnt just a delicious French bakery. It's always a good sign when there are French people eating at a French bakery. Quick and easy service. The food smelled and tasted delicious. The eclair wasnt too sweet which I loved. We had their hot chocolate just a few doors down as well.

Review: Out of all the places we ate in New York, this was the most highly anticipated and also the biggest disappointment we found. We went to Noglu because it was a gluten free specialty restaurant that is supposed to have really good croissants, bagels and pastries. We got to the restaurant around 11 on a weekday and took a couple minutes looking over the menu. Both my wife and I found stuff that looked great, and went up to order. After saying what we wanted, the cashier said that they didn't have any bread, nor bagels, nor croissants. He then read off the 3 or 4 things that they actually had for the day that didn't include bread (which is the point of this gluten free restaurant). We took a minute and opted to try some of the only dishes they had to offer: the chicken Curry and the breakfast plate with a muffin since they were also out of the cornbread; along with a creme puff and lemon tart. The total came to over $75 for this breakfast for 2 people. When it comes to the food that we could order, the portions were very weak. The flavor of the curry was good, but the smallest serving size I have had at any restaurant. The breakfast plate had a good quality smoked salmon, but for the price point, it was also very small. The muffin was moist and tasty, as were the desert items. For anyone else looking for good gluten free food, this place could be good if they actually have bread items in stock. If you don't want to worry about having a terrible experience, skip Noglu and make the trip downtown to Kesté pizza and vino for the best gluten free pizza I have ever tasted. As for me, I WILL NOT return to Noglu after this experience. Do better Noglu... If you are going to run a restaurant catered to gluten free food, actually stock items that people can't generally eat without gluten, not just food that is naturally gluten free that people can get for half the price anywhere else.
