The Goods never disappoints! We went on a Saturday on a holiday weekend afternoon and I was worried they would be sold out. They still had a great selection and everything was super fresh and delicious! Best gluten free donuts.

Did online order. Completely missed my coffee order. Acted like they never got it. No syrup with our order, and didn’t give me the coconut I ordered for my French toast. Also no utensils. Completely missed it for our Mother’s Day to go order. Lots of gluten free options but missed it on service. Just realized also that my avocado toast with herbs has no herbs, no microgreens- so disappointed in this place!

If you are visiting carlsbad beach/village, this place deserves a visit. Their freshly made crust cooked to perfection per your requirements alone demands a visit. We ordered a thin crust crispy veg pizza and slices of pepperoni pizza. Really delicious garlic knots and a calzone is a must when you visit this place. You can customise the calzones. We ordered mozzarella and ricotta calzone. It was devoured in a blink of an eye. Also, great gluten free options and lots of beers to pick from. The only thing you have to make sure is that try not to visit this place over the weekends as it gets really crowded and has very limited seating options. There is no upfront parking. Wouldn’t call this place wheelchair friendly either. You might need to park a couple of blocks away or find a paid parking.

I live in Oceanside and decided to cruise to Carlsbad to check out Plantiful Kitchen. I saw the cookies and said, how could I choose just one!? I picked up the chocolate macadamia, double chocolate walnut, and chocolate chip cookie — and wow! They’re grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, but you’d never know it. They’re so healthy yet absolutely packed with flavor. Each bite was rich, satisfying, and totally guilt-free. DELISH!

Gregorio's is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the cozy Italian villa ambiance set the perfect tone for a memorable evening. We visited on a Saturday night without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately! The handmade pizzas were a hit at our table — absolutely delicious — and the gluten-free pasta was hands down one of the best I've ever had. My husband loved the gnocchi. Everyone was raving about their meals! Our server was an absolute queen — charismatic, attentive, and made our night so much fun. She truly elevated the whole experience. The wine selection was fantastic as well, perfectly complementing the flavorful dishes. If you're craving authentic Italian cuisine with great vibes and exceptional service, Gregorio's is the place to go! Can't wait to return.

We went to Sushi Taisho for dinner last night, and it was such a great experience! We shared a nice bottle of sake, ordered multiple rolls, and even got individual hand rolls—which were generously portioned and delicious. One of our friends needed gluten-free options, and they had plenty available, which was great. The service was excellent—super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is really cute and cozy, with a warm atmosphere. It’s located upstairs in Carlsbad, so there’s a nice little view of the area, and you can even see the train coming in. Plus, you can hear live music from downstairs, which adds to the fun vibe. The seafood was super fresh, the space was clean, and everything we tried was fantastic. We went as a group of four, got seated without a problem, and had a great time splitting different rolls and trying new things. Definitely a highly recommended spot!

I’m on gluten free and dairy free diet due to my sensitivities and this is the first time I enjoyed ice cream/gelato in a very long time. They have a good selection of GF and DF gelatos. They also have GF cookies and cakes that look very yummy. Will definitely come back for more!

Grew up visiting That Pizza Place as a child and I'm so happy that I can continue the tradition with my own family. Love the updated location with the same amazing pizza, if not better! Wonderfully dedicated staff, delicious food, and just an all around fun atmosphere. For those who are gluten free, they offer a fantastic gluten free crust in both small and large sizes.

Went for dinner and this place was hoppin'. The wait without a reservation is very long, so try to get one. Otherwise, plan to maneuver your way into the open bar seating, which is what we thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant concept is fun and well carried throughout. The food and drinks were awesome and there are plenty of gluten free options. The staff was very helpful to guide us through the menu to avoid any gluten issues.

very cool hang out for tacos and more. We went there for a late lunch, but the bar and patio seating screams the kind of place you want hang out for a bit. We each had a taco and split a salad. sooo good. certain I'll stop by again before leaving town. Bonus - VERY fresh handmade corn tortillas, and they even took precautions to reduce likelihood of cross contamination for my gluten free meal. super friendly and casual. try it, you won't be sorry.

I had no idea this restaurant existed in Carlsbad and it was really great. It has a small Historical Museum focused on Boston that was fun to walk through. The best for me was they had gluten-free items on their menu, I had Shepherd's Pie which is normally off limits for me because of the gravy but theirs is gluten free and delicious.

This is one of my favorite restaurants (this location AND the Hillcrest one, too!) The employees are great and the food is better than most similar places closer to my home. There are things on the menu that I haven't found anywhere else in the county. Even the non-spicy items have rich and complex flavors that keep me coming back... and bringing visitors to my home with me! Solid recommendation. They have a good vegetarian and Gluten-free selection. You have to be a little more careful to be dairy-free, but everyone here is very familiar with the menu and will answer any questions you have before you order.

Loved their apple fries. If you are in Legoland San Diego definitely try them out, specially if you are looking for a vegetarian, gluten free alternative.
