We brought family in from out-of-town as one had a gluten allergy. They were very pleased with the choices and the food. I wish I had told them how to cook my burger (they didn't ask), but it was still good.

I've been coming to this place for years now. The manager is a friend at this point. I love the quality of the food, from the pastries to the savory offerings, and my gluten free / celiac folks can eat here too! Delicious and worth every penny. Thanks Lilly Mae's!

As a healthy-foodie type who is also gluten sensitive, this place was a fabulous find! All organic with amazing natural choices, for both vegetarian and paleo, and obviously, cautious about food allergy prep! Staff was beyond friendly and food was delicious! We will def make this a go-to spot when in town!

Gluten free pasta is really bad. Texture is seriously the worst I’ve ever tried. If you aren't willing to use good pasta and make an effort to cook it properly - just take it off the menu.

Only a block away from the Aquarium it was a great place to get our lunch. Get your hand stamped at the Aquarium so you can return and avoid the entrance line. Many premade sandwiches to choose from as well as make your own. The gluten free bread was great and the sandwich was wonderful. They are careful to prevent cross contamination so it is made in a different area of the shop. The time from order to sandwich was only 12 minutes. The only seating is 3 tables for 2 outside on the sidewalk, but you can get your order to go and eat it back in the Aquarium cafeteria. We did get one of the tables and it was fun to people watch during lunch.

I absolutely love shopping at Trader Joe's! The store is fantastic, offering a great selection of fresh produce and a wide variety of healthy choices. I'm particularly impressed with their extensive gluten-free options, which is a huge plus for me. While the prices might be a tad higher than some other supermarkets, the quality of the products definitely makes it worth it. The atmosphere in the store is always pleasant, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

I used to really love this place. I have celiac disease, and almost all of their items are gluten free. They’ve always been pretty willing to accommodate me, and I considered this one of my staple spots. Unfortunately, after many times eating there successfully, I was glutened and got super sick. When I tried to discuss this with them, they showed very little compassion and basically hung up on me. So disappointing.

We always enjoy our meals at MidiCi! Their meatball appetizer is super delish. They make some of the BEST gluten free pizza dough we’ve had and probably the best on the peninsula. I get the regular Neapolitan with the bbq chicken & mushroom truffle prosciutto and it’s perfect. The pizza size is nice too, good for sharing with two people or one hungry person (my hubby lol) the staff are very friendly and attentive. I want to come back for the tiramisu night next…

I have celiac and not only was this the BEST gluten free pizza I've ever had, but one of the best pizzas of all time! My husband is a man of few words and said the Al Pollo and blue cheese side salad was very good too. We sat outside with our pups and it was simply perfect!

If you are gluten free, I would not eat here despite the gf options. I ordered the gf pasta aglio e olio and my friend ordered the same dish regular (non-gf). My dish came out with about 1/3 to 1/2 the amount of food as hers. When we asked the waiter, he said that the chef does it all by weight and there was no mistake. For $30, it was an absolutely unacceptable amount of food. Even the server acknowledged it was a very small portion but there was nothing he or anyone could do other than for me to order more food at full cost. I make gf pasta at home, and it couldn’t have been more than a third of a box of pasta at most. They don’t upcharge for their gf pasta, but I would much rather a $5 or some upcharge and get a normal amount of food than be told I have to order another $30 dish to get a comparable amount of food as non-gluten free diners.
