Top 6 Gluten-Free American Diners to Enjoy in Beaverton

Jenna Clark

Service has been terrible the past couple years. Unfortunately this is the closest cafe yum to where I have lived for the past 20 years. I used to really love coming here but there was a very unfortunate turn in management around 2021. I can't remember the young gentleman's name but there used to be this really nice guy I think he was a manager he was Mexican younger man and had tattoos. He was an absolute sweetheart and always made sure that my food was actually gluten free/ celiac safe. I have celiacs disease and it's really hard to find somewhere where I can actually eat. I make most of my food at home but it's nice to be able to feel like a normal person and go out to eat every now and then. I have to make sure that whoever is preparing my food is aware of cross-contamination. This isn't a made-up illness this is my life and my health I don't want to be on the toilet or throwing up all day if someone doesn't take me seriously. After that gentleman left in 2021 the new management has been so rude not only that I have been sick several times from eating cafe yum even after requesting my celiac friendly prepared. As much as I have attempted the bowls myself at home I can never get them quite right. The new management is super rude and they are all related to each other either cousins or sisters. Lots of eye rolling and crap talking in Spanish. Here's the thing I'm actually bilingual Even though I'm white, So I know what you're saying. I know it's not easy to work in the service industry. I used to be a waitress myself for many years but please keep rude comments to yourself especially when it's something that somebody can't control like allergies. Be mindful of that next time you're talking shit about someone's allergies and health conditions and overall appearance. It's time to let go of eating at this location off of Millikan.

We usually love the gluten sensitive pancakes but today they were dry and tough. Our waitress said other customers have said the same thing but the manager says they haven’t changed anything. They did refund our money.

Please be careful if you have a gluten allergy!!! They use the same griddle so it is always a gluten free *preference* and super not allergen friendly 🥲

Delicious! Clearly marked gluten free options. Stuffed salmon was to die for. Normally cannot eat stuffed anything due to usage of bread. Was an awesome experience!!

Allergy friendly!! I am allergic to gluten (the protein in wheat, barley, rye) and I am allergic to casein (the protein in all dairy products, to include butter). My coworker and I stopped here for breakfast. Our waiter was Manny; he took my allergies serious and was able to make recommendations about what was good and what could be substituted on the menu in order to accommodate my food allergies. I had the chicken sausage and egg breakfast with fruit as the side. It was delicious!! The restaurant has lovely relaxing homey vibes. The staff was friendly and attentive! I completely recommend this location for breakfast!! You also get a lot of food for what you spend. We paid less than $40 for the two of us combined.

Our family has visited this place 3 times and all times have gotten the same consistent great service, from the hostess to the waiters, and the same quality and tasty food. We’ve tried dishes such as the Calamari appetizer (not gluten free), Simply Grilled Seasonal Salmon (Gluten Free), Cajun Seared Fish Street Tacos, and Parmesan Crusted Sole. We had no complains on the dishes. They are delicious, consistently taste the same and offer the same quality every time. I also found the selection of non-alcoholic drinks such as the Blackberry Basil Lemonade a nice touch and a great option over the same old fountain sodas. We also thought the atmosphere was well thought out and conducive to conversation and a pleasant stay. In general this is a place we will visit again and I recommend you do too!
