We had a lovely time at Snooze A.M. Tempe. We're familiar with the location in Tucson, AZ which has always been a lovely go-to for brunch. The service, food, and atmosphere in Tempe's location was spot on. I mostly appreciate the gluten free options. I never have to think twice about going to Snooze A.M. It's on our list of regular dine-in restaurants.
The cucumber lemonade was incredibly refreshing after a long summer day in a hot worksite. There were many delicious options and plenty of gluten-free substitutions available. The Turkey panini and Brussels salad were perfect. I will definitely be back when I'm in town again for work - I want to try the entire bruschetta menu!
It's basically a fast food order when you get there. Then you seat yourself and the person that takes the order brings you your food. Everything else is up to you. I was stupid enough to tip them ahead of time thinking that I was going to receive service. I received a couple of ice with a shot of coffee for $6. $16 for a gluten-free egg and avocado sandwich. $3.99 for a half a bowl of fruit. My daughter ordered a burrito and when she lifted it off of her plate it just dripped grease. I guess some people like it like this but the potatoes are soggy hash browns. Cost $58 for two breakfasts. A burrito, some soft & soggy hash browns with a smoothie and a gluten-free sandwich, iced coffee, with a half a bowl of fruit. $58
Like I said, it's pretty much fast food, with cafe seating. You help yourself
Awesome bakery filled with breads, cookies, scones, gluten free treats, soups, olive oils, etc. Storefront has seating with board games. Owner has been running this location for 16 years. Super friendly. You can tell everyone working here likes what they do.
The chile rellenos were the stand out, and available as gluten free. The short rib fell off the bone which was nice, but not quite the flavor I was hoping for it to have. I would recommend skipping the pasta here as the flavor lacked luster. I would come back if I was in the area again, but only for the chile rellenos.
Great spot for healthy, easy meals! Staff is friendly and food is good. They have many gluten-free options! My favorites are the Raw veggie salad, tuna wrap, and peanut protein bowl!
Although it states gluten-free under the wings I think I'd have to disagree. And may express some caution to others who can't have gluten. I can't have gluten and after sharing the wing plater my friend and I instantly noticed symptoms of gluten contamination.
The GF crepes were good but the prize for a GF crepe is outrageous. The regular Nutella crepe is $9.99, the GF costs $10 more ($19.99) which in my 30 years of being celiac I have never experienced such a big prize difference for a gluten free option. It’s ridiculous and unacceptable.
The bad -
Holly (the manager) was very rude and impolite from the get go. When we walked in, she asked how many. We told her and she asked if we could split up. We told her we did not want to and she reacted very negatively and put out by the response. We said we are fine to wait longer and could sit outside. The whole point of eating out is for us to be together and we don’t feel like it was unreasonable for us to not split up.
We also had another issue with her. We are from out of state and we’re not aware outside drinks are not allowed in restaurants. She was very rude in telling us and did not really explain anything. She just told us we can’t have outside drinks. We put our drinks away under the table and we’re not drinking from them. We assumed that’s what she meant. However she came back by and said to us, “ I appreciate you trying to hide them, but outside drinks are not allowed.” We were not trying to “hide” anything. The way she said it was so condescending and accusatory. We just had no idea that putting them away was also not allowed. We have no issue following the rules or being corrected, but there is a baseline level of respect/decency that you should give to all people. I understand that people may have a rough day but you should still be kind. Manager should understand this.
The good -
Our waitress, Rain was incredible. She was so kind and apologetic and really turned our experience around. She made us feel welcome and took great care of us. She even chased us down in the parking lot to give us a forgotten to go box! She really was a highlight of the experience for us.
The food was also amazing, it tasted great and the gluten free options were a plus. Portion sizes were also very large and worth it.
Overall it is a great place aside from the manager Holly. Reading the reviews, Holly seems to be a recurring issue for people. If they hire more people like Rain and give more coaching on customer service to Holly, it can be an amazing place from all angles.
Hands down the best Acai bowl I've ever had! The Acai base is SO much more unique than any other bowl shop I've been to, and their gluten free cookies are INCREDIBLE!!! 10/10 would try again!
This restaurant is completely mismanaged. They were unable to properly prepare my online order. I also did NOT get the gluten free bun I PAID for. There was cheese on the other burger & my kid cannot eat cheese. When I went back to ask them to refire or refund my order they were UNABLE to do both. The manager had already left them for the night despite the fact that they were UNDERSTAFFED. The cashier was not trained how to do a refund & there was nobody else there to do it.
When I picked up my order the restaurant was NOT busy. In fact it only took them 10 minutes to prepare my order. But they were still unable to follow the written instructions for my order.
One of my favorite coffee shops. The gluten free bagel always hits no matter what I’m getting on it, and the espresso drinks are always smooth and tasty! Really cozy interior as well that I love to sit in.
Wonderful food and delicious beer! I had the brewers pub...like a French dip. It was so delicious. The meat was tender and juicy and the jus had great flavor. I had a WOW beer that was crisp and fresh. My husband had the chicken tenders and fries. It was a wonderful piece of chicken with great breading and the fries were deliciously crisp. He had the WOW light in a can and liked that mix w lemonade. My daughter who is gluten intolerant had the chicken enchiladas. They had great flavor with delicious shredded chicken. She had the suace on the side which was good for her because it was a bit spicy. The rice and beans were amazing too, great flavor!
This morning I stopped by D’Lite to pick up some lunch and the man who took my order was so sweet and friendly and accommodating to my dietary restrictions! My doctor has me on a gluten free diet with other restricted ingredients and the man who took my order gladly helped change the ingredients in my order! It’s a relief knowing I can go somewhere for quick food and receive friendly understanding service!
Hello Celiac and Gluten free friends , I tried early bird vegan and it was so delicious . Look at how big my sandwich was . It was also so delicious and the staff were excellent . They knew all about cross contamination and everything . I have the famous Dr. J with gluten free bread. Honestly they had so many options that I will go and try again . Thank you ladies
Met a friend for happy hour. Not too impressed with the bar service. They were not busy, but just busy talking to each other.
Brussel sprouts modified with no dairy were good. Kinda soggy. A gluten free bun fell apart while trying to eat.
Burger was good, cooked medium and added bacon
Coffee was delicious , service was great, and I liked that they had gluten free bagels . Cons: I went here to get some work done on my computer ..they could not have furnished this place with more uncomfortable chairs. So just a heads up if your planning on hanging out here these wire chairs are no bueno..I left after 10 min
Recently I’ve been trusting Reddit threads for good coffee spots while traveling and so far it has delivered nothing but bangers. Got a mocha, some gluten free donuts and 2 small coffee sample bags (they ground one bag for me for the air bnb coffee mini drip). I look forward to coming back.
The food here was very delicious. They even offer Gluten-free pancakes. However, the service was kind of slow & the restaurant did not seem busy at all. When we did eventually get service the staff seemed friendly. It’s a cute place might give it another shot.
Excellent meal!!!! Super great mushroom truffle burger!
Great gluten free options… bun wasn’t mushy at the end!
Hand down the best shoe string fries I’ve ever had!!
Came in at midnight...Desiree was nothing but GREAT with customer service & holding it down with the crazy ladies that came in acting a fool after us. She deserves a raise after all that and on top I have celiac disease... the cook made my food SO DELICIOUS I couldn't even believe it at a Dennys but I'll be back for sure 😁 the two people working 6/23 at midnight need a raise or something but my goodness 100% with everything from the customer service to the food 🥰
Everbowl is in a beautiful location. They have so many toppings and bases to choose from. Great if your gluten free or vegan. The staff is so friendly and bacon the bulldog is adorable!
Staff is super attentive and friendly. Salmon board presentation was way above the norm and the quality of the salmon was superb. They also accommodated no gluten. We also were listening to fabulous acoustic guitar music. Highly recommend!!
Bangkok Grill & Knockout Cafe in Tempe is hands-down one of the best hidden gems in the Valley. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of authentic Thai spices welcomes you like an old friend. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to help you navigate the impressive menu, which features an inclusive range of halal, vegan, and gluten-free options.
I ordered the Pad Thai and Panang Curry, and both were absolutely bursting with flavor—perfectly balanced between sweet, spicy, and savory. The Thai iced tea was the ideal complement: rich, creamy, and refreshing. Portions are generous without being overwhelming, and the plating is beautiful enough to snap a photo or two.
What really sets this place apart is the care and creativity that goes into every dish. Whether you’re a Thai food veteran or new to the cuisine, Bangkok Grill is a place where your taste buds will feel at home. Highly recommend for a casual lunch, cozy dinner, or anything in between.
This spot is a must-visit. Your cravings will thank you.
The gluten-free version of their grilled breakfast sandwich was perfect. I requested grilled corn tortillas to replace the bread. When I got served, I sprinkled it with Tapatio, salt, and pepper. You have to request it. It's not on the menu. I'm used to making requests to accommodate my gluten intolerance, and the staff and cook were on it. Other plates ordered were mango and coconut crepes that were unique, tasty, and plentiful. Friendly service, accommodating kitchen staff, good food. We should support this restaurant !
Celiac friendly
