I come here almost every week and love it! I’m gluten intolerant and their gluten free breakfast tacos are my absolute favorite! The salsa is top tier. Friendly service and they have a drive through if you don’t have time to stop in. Highest recommendation!

Shane was soooo attentive and helpful. Walked us through the menu as it pertained to allergies and was constantly checking in with us throughout the meal. He was coming by to refill drinks and inform on the meal status quite often. All the food was delicious! The fish tacos were with blackened halibut and a treat. The carnitas were fork-tender and a very nice portion size. Chips and salsa were good too. They’re decently good with gluten and dairy sensitivities and my peanut allergy was a non-issue. The dining room was a bit loud but not intolerable. Everything was clean, the decor nice, and the bathrooms in good shape. Street parking.

Great food, great service, and wonderful healthy atmosphere! I'm a professional SUP athlete and train really hard all week, so I never feel guilty having a meal here on my day off :) I love the SC Rice Bowl since it is soy free and gluten free!

Tonight my husband and I took our 6 year old grandson to the bar side of Fisherman's Restaurant. We had an amazing waitress, Kiara, who helped us get some gluten-free food for our grandson who has celiac. Salmon was not available on the bar side, but she spoke with the manager and they made an exception. I seriously appreciate the manager and the waitress who helped make a little boy happy. His meal was delicious with carrots and broccolini and rice and a huge piece of salmon but she ate every bite of. Then, I immediately spilled my drink which broke and cut my grandson and me slightly. Kiara immediately got us both Neosporin and Band-Aids. We had a great time due to the lovely attention and kindness of our waitress. Please let her know that I wrote this to thank her for her help and professionalism.

Delicious in every sense! Love that they have yummy gluten free options. Friendly workers but takes 5 years to get food… so if you’re in a rush, it’s not the spot lol.

Great place for someone vegan and gluten intolerant. I had an açaí bowl regular size and it was very generous, full of fresh fruit and gluten free granola which made it sweeter. The açaí itself was pretty sweet on its own so I would probably not take the granola next time. The açaí was the correct consistency. Not completely frozen like some places serve it but very cold like a thick smoothie which is how it should be served. Service was great, nice chilled vibe and you can tell it’s not a huge chain but a local business which makes me want to come back and try some of their other bowls, coffees and bakes.

I came to SC for a family visit and they offered we go to Jadore. We were a few adults, 2 kids and a baby. As a vegan and gluten intolerant person it felt like there weren’t many options on the menu as everything has bread, cheese or meat on it. I ordered the coconut and squash soup and it tasted like Gerber baby puree. The person there which I think it one of the owners quickly replaced it with the açaí bowl which was ok and also gave us a free muffin. I really did feel like he was trying his best. Also I wouldn’t recommend this for families with younger kids as there wasn’t anything for the kids that was nutritious apart from crepes with chocolate which weren’t what I wanted my 8 and 2 year old to eat for lunch. Overall everyone said the food was ok but not great. Portion sizes were small and it was expensive. The great part was the garden in the back and the French music in the background. It could’ve been a bad day so I’m giving this 3 stars.

Classic diner joint. I love the vinyl covered bar stools and SoCal/Americana murals. Legit burger with an outstanding gluten free bun option. My go to stop between OC/LA and San Diego. Out of dozens of stops they only messed the order up only once and immediately made things right.

Some of the best food I’ve ever bought right on a beach. Fantastic acai bowls and Venezuelan Arepas. I appreciate the gluten free options. The breakfast burrito was a hit as was the gluten free waffle. We thought it would be just a couple of GF toaster waffles, but it was a big Belgian waffle with lots of fruit.

Great spot! Lots of seating - indoors and outdoors (back and a few out front!) …the matcha is delish and can tell it’s high quality. They also have an assortment of delicious gluten free and dairy free pastries!! The gluten free double chocolate cookie is so gooey and delicious. Thanks for having amazing choices.
