The sticker
A weatherproof Gluten Free Portland sticker for your window, door or cart, dated each year. It tells people walking by that you're on the map.
For restaurants, carts and bakeries
For the kitchens doing it right
Cooking safely for celiacs takes a dedicated fryer, separate prep and a crew who knows the drill. A lot of Portlanders plan their week around kitchens like yours. This page is how we say thank you, keep your listing right, and send hungry people your way.
What partners get
A listing that's right
Send us your menu changes, new hours or a better photo and we update your page. Every place page shows the date we last checked it.
A counter card
A 4 by 6 card for the register that invites celiac guests to speak up, with a QR code to your page on the guide.
A shout out
New partners get a post on our Instagram and Facebook, plus a share graphic you can post too. New menus can land in What changed.
One sticker for each pin
Your sticker matches the pin your kitchen already has in the guide, so a guest knows what to expect before they walk in.
Not sure where you land? Read how we rate a kitchen, or tell us about your setup below and we'll walk through it with you.
Our promises to you
- It's free. No fee to be listed, no fee for the sticker.
- Ratings are never for sale. No one can pay for a better pin or a spot in Our picks. That's what makes the sticker worth having.
- We hear your side. If something about your kitchen looks wrong to us, we write to you before we change your pin. The one exception is safety: if a guest could get sick, we update the pin right away and then talk it through with you.
- We fix mistakes fast. Tell us what's off and we correct it.
What we ask
- Tell us when your setup changes. A new fryer, a shared one, a new supplier, a new menu. It keeps celiac guests safe and your listing honest.
- Swap the sticker each year. We send the new year's sticker to every partner.
- Keep being great at this. That part is all you!
Say hello
Join the program, fix your listing or tell us about a place we're missing. Fill this in and it comes straight to us. A real person reads every one and writes back from hello@glutenfreepdx.com. We only use your email for your listing and your sticker, never a newsletter.
Questions owners ask
Does any of this cost money?
No. Listings and stickers are free.
Can we pay to be rated higher or featured?
No, and that's a promise. Pins and Our picks are based only on how the kitchen handles gluten. If we ever add paid extras, they will never touch a rating.
We aren't fully gluten free. Can we still join?
Yes! Shared kitchens with a real process earn the orange Approved sticker. Places with a marked gluten free menu get the blue On the map sticker. Both are welcome here.
How do you decide our pin?
We cross check celiac review sites, local press, gluten free writers and what you tell us about your kitchen. Each place page lists its sources. More on how we rate.
We're not in the guide yet. How do we get in?
Choose "Add my place to the guide" above and tell us about your setup. We check every new place before it goes on the map.
A guest had a bad experience. What happens?
We look into it and talk to you before anything changes. Kitchens are run by people, and we'd rather help fix a process than pull a pin.
