horrible service. i ordered a blueberry muffin and the person next to me ordered one a minute after. they had me pay for it and then told me they were all out and gave it to the person. this was after waiting in line for 20 minutes. the staff has absolutely no manners. if your looking for good gluten free food with good service save yourself some time and choose a different bakery. they also do a horrible job at making accommodations. i ordered myself an omelet and told them i could not eat mushrooms and they gave me an omelet with mushrooms. then got annoyed and took another 20 minutes to make me a new one. and it was undercooked and smaller than the actual serving size.

I love this place so greatly, when I lived downtown I would eat here on the regular. The best thing is it is very inclusive of most diets and has a pretty nice selection of vegan and gluten free items, including at some times of year seasonal cakes and pies.. yumm.. However, today in summertime, their were more choices in the salad and entree bar; including some delicious looking pasta salads, and did I mention how high quality all the ingredients are? Today I kept it simple, and got the gluten free vegan snickerdoodle cookies. They are like puffs of sweet satisfying heaven. I can have few with a small latte and just allow my mind to travel and vacation for a moment. The latte which I had for their, in a cup, making it all the more cozy was divine. Steamed well as for the almond mylk, and had a lovely sweet nutty flavor to the espresso. Very quick service btw. Thats the beauty of this place is you can go and get a latte and nosh, or an entire meal and perhaps some wine.. I will keep coming back and have heard the best things about the owner, thanks for such a delectable space🙏🏽

Mesa Burger is a buzzy, lively little restaurant with patio seating, shoehorned into the Mesa strip shopping center. Excellent burgers of many kinds, and supportive of gluten free diets. They also have an unadvertised build-a-burger option.

My wife was looking for a gluten-free pizza place and found it on Google. We didn’t realize that we were in an area in Santa Barbara called The Funk Zone, which was a very neat area that was very lively and fun to experience. This place has a walk up window where you order and all seating is outside. The food was very delicious, and it was just a nice atmosphere overall.

To be fair, I keep having one of the same two sandwiches over and over again. They're just so incredibly good. Each and every time, always fresh and flavorful, with the perfect balance of ingredients. And they're large and filling too. And get this ~ they don't charge extra for gluten free bread, which by the way is really good quality gf bread. If you're a fan of a good hearty sandwich, this might be the place to check out. I'm going to have to try other sandwiches and the salads look really good too. Cheers.

Amazing. I got a rosemary garlic sourdough filone today. Beautiful loaf, crispy crust and light airy center. Might be the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had. I will definitely be ordering again 💘
