From the moment you walk in, you feel the care and intention behind everything -- it's elegant, warm, and welcoming. The food is incredible. Everything tastes fresh, authentic, and thoughtfully prepared. The pasta dishes are rich and comforting, the appetizers are full of flavor, and the desserts are just as impressive as anything you'd find in a traditional Italian restaurant -- you would never guess it's all gluten free. Service is attentive and kind, with staff who really understand the menu and make you feel taken care of. There's a genuine passion behind the experience that stands out. What makes Senza Gluten by Jemiko special is that it doesn't feel like a "gluten-free alternative" -- it feels like a top-tier Italian restaurant that just happens to be completely gluten free. Overall, an amazing experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back again.

We stopped in around 9:30 AM on a Saturday, and the place was buzzing--a clear sign of its popularity. While it is strictly a "to-go" spot, the efficiency of the operation makes the morning rush manageable. The Logistics & Ordering The menu is expansive, spanning three screens with an incredible variety of bagel types, cream cheese flavors, meats, and cheeses. Despite the line, the ordering process was straightforward. A major plus: you have the option to have your bagel toasted before they assemble the sandwich. Our coffees were ready within 2-3 minutes, and the sandwiches followed about 10 minutes later--very reasonable given how busy they were. The Food I went with a classic Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on an Egg Bagel. * The Bagel: The egg bagel itself was phenomenal. It had that perfect, authentic texture that makes NYC bagels famous. * The Build: The sandwich was very generously portioned. Every bite was delicious, well-balanced, and exactly what you want from a hearty breakfast sandwich. The "Extras" One of the most charming and unexpected parts of BTS is their candy selection. They carry an array of nostalgic and "internet-famous" treats I didn't even realize were still in production (or existed at all!).

Gluten free chicken tenders, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, etc. Their dessert bites with Nutella and cannoli filling are super addictive too! If you have celiac or are gluten intolerant, this is definitely a must check out spot in the Hell's Kitchen area. The staff is all super friendly too and accommodating.

I really wanted to like this place because vegan options are always appreciated, but this was…read morehonestly terrible. I paid $9 for a tiny square of vegan pizza that looked more like a sample than a slice. The toppings slid off immediately, so eating it felt like trying to balance vegetables on a sponge. The bread was the worst part -- cheap, rubbery, and had that "is this food or recycled yoga mat?" texture. For $9, I expected an actual decent vegan pizza, not a tiny piece of sad bread with toppings that gave up before I did. I appreciate that they offer vegan options, but this needs serious work. The portion was small, the crust tasted cheap, the toppings didn't stay on, and overall it was not worth the money. Vegan food does not have to be this depressing.

Great food and service. Loved the unique location but it is easy to miss. Great pizzaread more

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

Unfortunately, the answer is NO, not worth the $6.50, maybe worth half the price. The chocolate flavor is barely there, almost nonexistent. In other words, the glaze was only for show.

I usually get the Chipotle chicken or the wasabi cc and lox-- both are delicious. They are not cheap with the stuffing and the food is fresh.

Not as good as the one I sampled in Copenhagen, Denmark. But it's worthy of your time and curiosity. Their sugar twist would pair nicely with a black coffee. Sometimes, it's the combination of your items that makes the meal memorable and delightful. One suggestion I would offer for the establishment is to offer to warm the pastries. That would further elevate the experience of your guest. Inside is small. You can fill a few tables and seating, but not a large party. Best to take away and enjoy on the road to the park. Overall, it's enjoyable, and you should stop in. I was inclined to give this place a 3-star, but they are on to something. The staff was nice, which pushed my award over to 4. Great job, team!
