I love the idea of their fresh food with innovative ingredients. But my Vegan Peanut Thai Bowl was barely a meal, and I’m not a huge eater. For $12, a scoop of rice, a scoop of beans, a bunch of green cabbage, and a drizzle of sauce seemed a bit pricey. They do have a gluten-free bun, which I’ll try next time so I can get some serious protein and a better meal.

We had been warned that they sell out early, so we arrived right when they opened and their stock was full! I was so excited to see an entire case dedicated to gluten free donuts. There were several flavor options of GF cake donuts — plain, cinnamon sugar, crumb, blueberry, chocolate frosted, and maple frosted. The maple was perfect! My husband is not GF and got the apple fritter and a cinnamon twist. Both were huge and delicious.

The OG Black Bear Diner! Great diner atmosphere and GREAT bottomless coffee! Excellent friendly service and with views of Mt Shasta. What else could you want? Oh, and they have gluten free bread so I was able to have a simple GF breakfast with some toast and didn't get sick at all! Thank you!!!
