The Green Pear Cafe- Hoboken, NJ

Having a gluten allergy, I am always looking for allergy friendly restaurants.  This gem on the back streets of Hoboken was a great find.  Located between Newark and 1st on Grand, you can stop by for a coffee to go or sit at one of the tables to enjoy a full breakfast or lunch (outdoor seating also available).  There are many gluten free options available on the menu, including a variety of gluten free pancakes, gluten free crepes, and gluten free arepa sandwiches.  The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing.  Make this your next stop for breakfast or lunch!

My Gluten Free Menu pick:

Italian Arepa: Gluten Free cornbread Arepa with Fresh Mozzarella, Tomatoes, Greens, Prosciutto, and Pesto. 

This is perfect combination of sweet and savory!!

The Turning Point- Hoboken

Turning Point has been a steady Hoboken breakfast spot for several years now.  We have never had a bad experience here and the food is always fresh.  Turning Point originated in Little Silver, NJ and its success has grown to over 15 locations, even expanding into Pennsylvania.  

Breakfast options range from french toast and pancakes to their popular “skillets” to healthy dishes such as the “Garden Frittata”.  Their extensive list of coffees, teas and juices is also impressive. 

GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS!

Restaurants everywhere are starting to provide gluten free or gluten sensitive menus; Turning Point has joined the club!  They have a separate menu for gluten sensitivity, just ask your server, or you can check out the website. 

My GLUTEN FREE pick (from the “Fall Specials” Menu):

Cali Flatbread: Cauliflower crust topped with grilled chicken, chopped bacon, caramelized onions, spinach, diced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and chipotle drizzle.

Cali Flatbread
Walk on the Beach Juice: carrots, golden beets, apple, lemon and digestive aid ginger
