Mula– (vegan) This conscious cafe located on Yehudah HaLevi street is known for its amazing gluten free and vegan treats. Their bread comes from Gluteria and they also offer a wide range of sweet treats and drinks. They have a lovely garden which is a great place to work. (The food is made in a shared kitchen so they cannot guarantee 100% sterility but they do take measures to ensure their food is as safe as possible for celiacs.)
* CLOSED *Lelo– This dedicated gluten free cafe has two locations: one kosher and one not kosher. Their menu offers a wide selection of dishes from schnitzel to pasta and focaccia. Read more about them in my full review here.
Reviva v’Celia- This company has both a restaurant with amazing gluten free options as well as a 100% gluten free store! The store is only open on Thursday’s and Friday’s so be sure to check their website to see if they are open.
Dosa Bar- (Kosher) This cute spot on Ben Yehuda St. is serving up a Southern India favorite called Dosa’s. A dosa is a giant flat pancake made of chickpea flour served with curry and other dippings. Definitely a fun place to try if you’re in the mood for something new!

Just be sure to tell them if you are Celiac as their gluten free menu options (which are labeled) are not necessarily safe for Celiac. They will however go out of the way to accommodate your dietary needs!

Hummus Shel Gingi– Originally from Kibbutz Einat, Hummus Shel Gingi has been around for nearly 20 years and just opened a new location on Yehudah HaLevi. Their entire menu is gluten free other than their pita but they also offer gluten free pita! Their fryer is celiac safe and they have the best fries.

Mela Goods- In the old north, this super cute sandwich shop and cafe has incredible gluten free bread and a wide range of gluten free snacks/ treats. Their brownie is one of the best I have ever had.
Meat:

Flatbush: This Afro-Latin spot on Yehudah HaLevi is extremely celiac friendly and the chef even came out to speak with me about what I could eat and how they prepare it. Their arepa is one of the best I have ever had. They are not kosher and do serve milk and meat.
