Check For Gluten Free Cafe In A Smartphone App
If you have a smartphone, then try the Find Me Gluten Free app. It is helpful for identifying user-contributed GF ideas! Search for it in the app store.
What I don’t like about this app is that a few reviewers sort of bash restaurants for things like a bad wait person or long wait time when it is seemingly not relevant to the whether everything was GF…so take the reviews with a grain of salt.

Plan Ahead
Being spontaneous and GF is tricky!
Avoid getting in scenarios where you are starving but are not sure where to eat!
It’s hard on you and those you are with!
These are some of pointers:
- Throw some gluten-free protein bars in your car in case.
- Spend time to research the area. Come up with a few Gluten Free Cafe options.
- If you’ve never been to a Gluten Free Cafe in Lansing , then stick to foods that are likely gluten-free – meats, salads, fruits that sort of thing. This is not likely the best time to experiment with gluten free pasta or cake – if you’ve never been to the place before!
- Lastly, visit at less busy times. Eat dinner earlyish or try for a late lunch. Show up at a time you can easily have the full attention of your wait person and the chefs aren’t too busy.
