Restaurant Fridays - Channel Cafe

Welcome to Restaurant Fridays - my weekly review of the gluten free restaurant options in Boston and the surrounding areas. 


Channel Cafe


Channel Cafe is just across the channel bridge on Summer Street, which is about a five minute walk from South Station. I used to work across the street from Channel and would get my lunch there at least once a week. At the time the restaurant was under different ownership and sold the most delicious chick pea veggie burger that I've ever had, (I think it's still available during lunch). My office has since moved and I don't go to Channel Cafe as much. Recently I was looking for a place that was laid back, had good beer for Mike, Cider for me and dinner options that I could eat. We decided to try 'new' Channel for dinner.

Boston's Fort Point - My favorite Gluten Free lunch spot

Yum, it is lunch time and I have just returned from my favorite cafe. I've been getting my lunch at Channel Cafe on Summer Street in Boston for as long as I've been Gluten Free. There are a couple of other places I've tried, but none of them hold a candle to Channel. I always get one of two things:

Naked burrito (no cheese):
This is quite possibly one of my favorite things to eat. You get seasoned rice, beans, fresh salsa with avocado and a fist full of salad. Oh and don't forget the jalapenos! You can get cheese if you like, but I prefer to abstain. I've been trying in vain... to down size my dairy intake...

Veggie Burger (no bun no chips):
Again, one of my favorite things to eat. It's not your average veggie burger! It's made of chick peas and spices and other delicious things I can't seem to figure out. If you like Indian Food you will love this veggie burger. It comes with a yogurt sauce which I can't resist and the fistful of salad. Excellent.

There are other things on their menu that are GF or could be made GF so don't be afraid to ask. I just love my go-to dishes so much I haven't strayed in awhile...


They also do dinner on Thursday and Fridays! if you're in the area, they are a must try for fresh, tasty gluten free food.
