It’s time to say goodbye to Summer and hello Fall. Temperatures are dropping and a cool breeze is hitting the air bringing with it college football, pumpkin spice everything, and new restaurant menu roll outs.

Here is this week’s update on gluten-free dining and shopping in Atlanta:

2B Whole Gluten Free Bakery will be selling paleo and gluten-free treats at the Shop, Drop & Roll benefit for The Drake House at Matilda’s in Alpharetta on September 17th. Shops are open from 10-4; Drop off gently used women’s Fall clothing at The Drake Closet store; Roll with live music starting at 8:30 p.m. A percentage of all sales from the stores and the concert will be donated to The Drake House.

Double Zero is reopening at its new Emory Village location on 9/6. Along with a new name, no more Napoletana, the restaurant will have a brand new menu with only the shaved brussels sprouts dish remaining from the original one. The menu focuses on small plates and large shareable entrees. They do not offer gluten-free pizza or pasta, but many of the small plates either are or can be modified to be gluten free.

Gluten Free Cutie bakery is moving and expects to be open at its new location by mid to late September. Construction has begun at their new location of 1066 Alpharetta St. Roswell Ga 30075.

Instead of Flowers offers standard and gourmet pre-cooked gluten-free meals delivered to your door or that of a friend, family member, or new parents. This is a meal service, not just an entree, which mean you get a salad, entree with vegetables, bread and dessert. Choose from standard or deluxe meals, or order a la carte. The menu includes baked goods too, such as biscuits, brownies, and pound cake. All homemade, never frozen, cooked fresh to order. Sounds like heaven for busy weeknights.

Noble Fin in Peachtree Corners launched its lunch service 9/1 and here is their NobleFinLunch82716. Doesn’t the lobster wedge with red onions and creamy avocado dressing sounds fabulous? They don’t have a dedicated gluten-free menu, but many of their salads and small plates can be modified.

True Food Kitchen is working with No Kid Hungry to raise awareness and funds for National Children’s Hunger Awareness Month in September. True Food Kitchen will donate $1 to No Kid Hungry for every online reservation made during the month of September. $1 is equal to 10 meals for a hungry child, so make your reservation today! Their goal is $10,000, which equals 100,000 meals for hungry children nationwide. They have a robust selection of gluten-free options in every section of the menu. The flourless chocolate cake (real cake) with caramel sauce, ice cream and cacao chips make the perfect dessert to enjoy over drinks or coffee.

Venkman’s has added new gluten-free items to its dinner menu like the Garlic Shrimp with Roasted Beets, Smashed Olives, Citrus, Cherry Tomatoes, and Radish. Their September schedule feature the return of Thursday movie nights, kids’ programming every Saturday morning and nostalgic shows featuring the music of REM, Prince, the Beastie Boys and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Make a reservation and head over to enjoy the vittles, vibes, and live muVenkman's - Garlic Shrimp (7).NEFsic.

Have a lovely Labor Day Weekend!
