I appreciate how vegan friendly this cafe is. They have multiple vegan and gluten free psstries—bread, cookies, etc. The coffee I ordered was also delicious. I'll be back!
Very clear gluten free options on the menu! Service was excellent - they made me a custom non-alcoholic beverage and offered to take it back if it didn't taste good. Lovely atmosphere. Potato pancakes are amazing.
Delicious veggie omelette with gluten-free toast, others ordered French onion soup, salad, avocado toast and lattes. Good quality, matches the price. Expect a long wait
As a Colombian living in the Bay Area I thought I had found the glory. I thought I was going to go and expect real Colombian bakery, but that wasn’t the case. First, the atmosphere wasn’t all that and I believe it had to do with the service, they were not that friendly.
Second, the food was not that great. The pan de bono, which I was going for was disgusting. Luckily, I had ordered other things, but were just OK. I mean, for each their own, but this place is fake Colombian food. Even if they are trying be in the“gluten-free” wave, they should also have options of authentic Colombian things, that way people get a real taste of Colombian goodness.
I love this restaurant! I eat here regularly and I'm never disappointed. The service is amazing. Staff are so sweet and attentive, and they always accept changes to dishes for allergies or taste preferences. My dad is celiac and can eat practically everything on the menu here--huge range of gluten free options. I'm vegan and there are also so many delicious dishes I can eat, including their vegan al pastor street tacos (which are to die for) and huevos rancheros. They always accommodate my no dairy preference, even when I order online for takeout. Canasta Kitchen also has outdoor seating, which is so nice when the sun is out. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Nice little bakery with great prices for their breads and other items. We were a bit late in the day so many of the daily specials were sold out. I got a cinnamon roll, sticky bun bread pudding, and a pumpkin muffin. The pumpkin muffin had no wheat and since it could come into contact with wheat it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I liked the orange icing on the cinnamon roll but would have liked more cinnamon in the roll. My favorite was the sticky bun bread pudding! I ate half of it cold and the other half microwaved and loved it both ways. I wish that there was a table or two inside.
This cafe is across the street from Hampton Inn near Oakland Airport. It's outdoor with plastic tent for shelter. There is a take out option. The food is delicious. Salad Verte has amazing chicken breast. Service is superb, Gluten free options are available. This was recommended by a local who was spot on.
I've always loved Jim's on Lincoln and a number of years ago when they opened Jim's On the Course it became my go-to place for a good breakfast or lunch and sitting outside enjoying the sunshine and warm weather in Alameda!
My recent visit did not disappoint: I had the waffle combo that includes your choice of either bacon, link sausage, or sausage patties; I had the latter and a big cup of coffee. Delicious as always!
I'm dining partner is gluten free and ordered breakfast with gluten-free bread that she said was the best she'd had and she wondered what kind it was... We'll have to find out!
Highly recommend Jim's at either location!
This place is amazing! Our non-profit had an event and needed catering for 200 people. Victor, the owner, was super accommodating and made the whole thing a success. He set up the menu (including gluten free and vegetarian options), made more than enough food for us, and made the whole process overall very seamless. Everyone raved about the food. 10/10 recommend!
