Allentown Dining Guide

Food & Drink

Allentown's borough dining scene is compact but useful for a walkable village visit. The list below is intentionally limited to businesses inside the borough rather than pulling in restaurants across the broader 08501 postal area.

GF FilterDF FilterVegan FilterBoundary CheckedAllergy Caution
Dietary-badge standard: GF, DF and Vegan badges are used only where current menu information supports them. A badge identifies an available option—not a dedicated allergen-free kitchen.
Allergy & cross-contact caution: Ingredients, suppliers, ovens, utensils, beverage equipment and prep surfaces can change. Anyone with celiac disease or a serious allergy should verify current preparation practices directly before ordering.

Dietary Notes

La Piazza — GF Options

The current menu lists gluten-free pizza crust, gluten-free pasta and gluten-free ravioli. These are options in a shared restaurant kitchen, so cross-contact should be discussed directly when medically necessary.

The Moth — Vegan / DF Options

The current coffeehouse menu includes vegan selections. Vegan options contain no dairy ingredients by formulation, but shared equipment and preparation can still matter for allergies.

No Inference Badges

NJTGO does not label a dish GF, DF or Vegan just because it appears likely to qualify. The remaining businesses stay unbadged unless sufficiently specific current information supports a dietary claim.

Why Some Familiar 08501 Restaurants Are Not Here

Restaurants on Yardville-Allentown Road, Old York Road and other roads outside the borough may still use “Allentown, NJ 08501” for mail. Those establishments are not treated as Allentown Borough restaurants unless their physical location is inside the municipal boundary.
