Review Cafe Chocolade - Oakdale

My best friends birthday is Christmas Eve and she is gluten free girl . I come to find out gluten free baked goods like a birthday cake are hard to find even at bakeries like Giant eagle . I googled gluten free bakeries and Cafe Chocolade came Up just 2 miles from my home so I got online and was overwhelmed by the custom orders you can do gluten free egg free , vegan you name it so I took a chance and Beyond greatful I did it was beautiful !!! And according to my best friend the best gluten free cake ever. I never had gluten free cake so didn’t know what it should taste like but this cake , to me it was like a buttery pound cake with berries and chocolate butter cream the peppermint and edible chocolate shards highly recommend worth every Penney we are planning lunch there her next visit perfection gluten free amazing thank you !!!! Your cake was a day maker

My wife and I had great expectations for this place. We drove from afar as a way to celebrate Mother’s Day on a Saturday since it doesn’t open on Sundays—my wife only eats GF and DF because of digestion problems. In the end, we were a bit disappointed. The restaurant has a cafe setup with a small space for dining in and seating, which we understand that how it was idealized. The key points for a three-star review were: • Menu: in the day of our visit, some items were not available and that lowered our expectations especially. The sweets were an exception with a lot of great choices. • Service: there was only one person working that day, and unfortunately, that person had to do everything, from cooking to take orders in. And for some reason, he didn’t seem to be in a good mood, something also noticed by another customer.

As a person with celiac disease and also somewhat lactose intolerant, I’ve never had an easy time going out to eat. However, this place made me feel like a “normal” person again, able to order anything on the menu, and not have to ask multiple questions to ensure I won’t get sick. The bread was amazing, I haven’t had gf bread this good in years. Amazing and highly recommended!!

Absolutely the best salad for a quick lunch…flavor overload! I promised my kids I wouldn’t get any of the amazing sweets until I brought them but certain they are as amazing as this

Gluten free and vegan friendly items available. Practices COVID-19 safety precautions. Nice folks. Enjoyed my experience and will return when back in the area.... Looking forward to the ravioli, as they were out on my last visit. Delicious and fresh!

Amazing gluten free options! From real food like pasta to deserts like meringues and the cutest mini macarons. Service is excellent. Everything is freshly made so expect a brief wait but they have fresh roasted coffee and comfortable seating to wait.

Mostly a place for pickup, they do have a very small dining area to eat in. Though small, the menu is loaded with awesome mostly vegan dishes (try the avocado fries!!!). Their coffee is home brewed and exceptional, and all their prepared food such as burgers or veggie dogs are handmade for a truly unique experience. They have lots of great dessert options and take home goodies like biscotti and pasta as well.

Cafe Chocolade is the only place I can eat comfortably, knowing that I won't get sick. Everything I have ever had has been amazing! Chef James is a very interesting man who serves as owner, chef, cashier, waiter, answers the phones; he does it all! He comes off as quiet but has always been very helpful to me with what to order for things I want to make at home. I have attended a few of his cooking classes at Phipps as well, and he has such great experiences to share from around the world. It is so refreshing to have a place like Cafe Chocolade where the food is all so fresh, healthy, and safe for me to eat! I wish I lived closer!

A wide array of great gluten free items available, including bakery items, chocolate, vegan cheeses, and a changing menu of lunch choices.

Never disappointed every time we go there!! The food is always delicious and has so much flavor! The salads are awesome, too! And, the desserts....SOO good!!

Stopped in just after the 4th of July hoping to get some vegan lunch (at like 9am, my fault) but all he had ready was vegan donuts, cupcakes, and cheese... did I mention it was possibly the best donuts, cupcakes, and cheese I've had since I began eating vegan?

How often can you buy something gluten free without buying the rest of the group something with wheat? At Cafe Chocolade, no one would know the difference. Their cakes are so decadent, there’s no need for wheat flour. This is the answer to not wanting to buy two things for one celebration or dessert. It’s my choice for my own birthday cake.

Best gluten free food in the burgh You are missing out if you don't try this

Our cake was gorgeous and no one could believe it was gluten free! Incredibly delicious!

Salmon, salad, avocado fries, chicken tacos and macarooooons!!
