Hi!

I know this is a local issue, but for those of us with Celiac disease, we know how rare it is to find a place where you can eat without the constant fear of cross-contamination.

​Kırlangıç Kafe in my neighborhood is more than just a business; it’s a sanctuary for the Celiac community here in Istanbul. It is one of the few places where we feel truly safe. Sadly, the café is now facing closure, and this would be a massive loss for us.

​We are running a petition to save this space. Even if you aren't in Istanbul, your signature helps us show the local authorities that this place is essential for the health and well-being of our community.

​You can support us here: https://www.imzakampanyam.com/istanbul-beylikduzundeki-kirlangic-kafenin-kapatilmamasi-icin-destek-talebi-imza-kampanyasi

Update: We are so grateful to have reached 540 signatures thanks to your amazing support. Every signature and share helps us tremendously, and we would be honored if you could continue to spread the word.

I don’t have the words.

The owner of Golden Phoenix in London’s Chinatown recently learned her son is celiac and she has gone HARD on making the restaurant a GF haven.

They have 2 pages of gluten free menu items, everything is cooked separately, and chefs are fully committed to GF food for the day, for any day they’re making GF food.

And it’s astoundingly good. I avoided Chinatown for the last decade every time I went to London because it was too sad knowing what I missed. But no more!!!

It’s genuinely exceptional and the owner is a badass.
