Cute gluten-free bakery in Santa Cruz, and I must say the most authentic taste and gluten-free doughnut. I tried the coconut and it was really neck an neck to an original old-fashioned donut!

Always so good and fresh. People complain about the prices, but you are paying for organic food prepared with care and honest portions enough for two meals. Plenty of gluten free options. Highly recommend!

My children and I love this place. They love the crêpes. I have celiacs and love that I can have french fries. Employees are always fantastic and the food quality is consistently great.

Really beautiful restaurant. The outside garden and view are awesome. The inside is warm and inviting. Great for a date or celebration. Food was impeccable. And they are great for gluten free options. We were there just after sunset. We will be back to enjoy a sunset view soon

OMG, YUM...Best fresh deep dish pizza (Detroit style) around here. In slices or whole pie. Gluten Free pizza available, which is what I had. High quality ingredients all around at this place. Really good organic fresh made salads to go too. Good portion sizes. The two of us ordered 1 salad and 1 whole pizza. We got through half the salad and 1 slice only each, whi h is half the pizza pie. Had rest of it next day for lunch, so good portion size and thus good value. They have amazing looking bagels with all the fixins, fresh baked goods, and its also a Cafe with high end barrista bar where they serve Chai, Mocha, its called Syllable coffee. The Chai was best I have ever had (been back already for more), not overly spicy or overly sweet. Mocha was yum too.
