Top 10 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Lakewood

**Five Stars: A Must-Visit for Meatball Lovers!** My recent visit to Manic Meatballs was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped into their cozy establishment in Lakewood, WA, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The menu variety was impressive, catering to all preferences with options ranging from classic beef to innovative vegan, gluten-free meatballs made with Impossible™ meat. Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The serving sizes were generous, providing great value for the price. What stood out to me the most, aside from the delicious food, was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. The option for drive-thru service added a convenient touch for those on the go. Manic Meatballs is not just a restaurant; it's a unique dining experience that brings people together over the love of meatballs. Whether you're a local or just passing through Lakewood, this is a spot you won't want to miss. Highly recommended for a quick lunch, dinner, or even catering for big events. Don't forget to try their vegan option – it's a game-changer!

I really wanted to like Casa Mía, especially with its nice sign and balloons welcoming Washington Track and Field State Championships participants—unfortunately, that was the highlight of the visit. I ordered the manicotti in a butter cream sauce, and it was honestly inedible. It arrived drowning in what seemed like a full cup of straight butter poured over the top. It wasn’t a sauce—it was a greasy pool that made the entire dish unpleasant. I wish I had thought to take a picture. My daughter had the chicken parm, and it wasn’t any better. The chicken was bland and soggy, with a strange texture that didn’t sit right. Some members of our party had pizza, which seemed okay—definitely better than the pasta dishes, but still nothing to write home about. We did appreciate that there was a gluten-free pizza option. The manicotti and chicken parm were supposed to come with a choice of soup or salad, but our waitress never asked for our preference and never brought either. While she was friendly, the service overall was slow considering how few people were in the restaurant. We left disappointed, still hungry, and wondering how a place could serve food like this. Definitely not worth the price or the wait.

Great gluten free options, just be careful not to order tater tots, chips, or other fried items. The street tacos are amazing and it's never too busy during the day.

I went during a busy time & didn't have to wait long . the food is fresh & portions are large . I had breakfast & enough left over for a very filling lunch . the hollandaise sauce was perfect . I originally went because I heard they had Gluten Free biscuits which were also tasty but loved the whole thing . all the servers were great & attentive . I highly recommend checking this Gem out .

A local favorite specializing in homestyle brunch. Full espresso bar onsite. The specialty Blackberry Bramble White Mocha is good both hot and iced. Oat milk available – just request no whipped cream if you are dairy free. Generous portions that are flavorful without being greasy and gluten free options are available. So far have tried The B.S.T. Scramble and Choi’s Survival Scramble with home fries and gluten free toast. No reservations – waitlist available. It is a popular place with limited seating.

The food was really good, loved the smoky taste to the dishes and also they make it in gluten free alternatives. Love it! Got the pad see weu -wide rice noodles with beef, traditional fried rice with pork. Meat was not over dried and was just done perfectly!

It wasn't too busy when I was there this morning for a quick breakfast. Waitress was quick to bring drinks, coffee was hot and fresh. My son and I were quick to order, food came out pretty quick and was hot and fresh. I got the gluten-free pancakes and they were good with the pecan syrup. Paid at the table and left. No complaints 👌

Food is so good! I got the Chicken Pad Thai and the flavor was so amazing, so well seasoned and perfectly balanced. The woman (who I think might be the owner) was so friendly and helpful. My mom can't have gluten and she helped go through the menu of what she could have, it was awesome. The other staff were also very nice and helpful. I almost never eat leftovers and I'm genuinely excited to eat this because YUM.
