I appreciate how vegan friendly this cafe is. They have multiple vegan and gluten free psstries—bread, cookies, etc. The coffee I ordered was also delicious. I'll be back!
Very clear gluten free options on the menu! Service was excellent - they made me a custom non-alcoholic beverage and offered to take it back if it didn't taste good. Lovely atmosphere. Potato pancakes are amazing.
Great tasting food. Now if they would only actually read orders. We ordered a gluten free bbq pizza and a lengthy note to remove the cheddar because we also have a dairy free diet in the house. They need to take more care.
The best cupcakes! I've used Doodlecakes twice for a baby shower (mama-to-be was vegan and gluten free) and a bridal shower. I had multiple people come up and ask where I got the cupcakes saying they're the best cupcakes they've ever had. If you're looking for dessert for an event, look no further!
Delicious veggie omelette with gluten-free toast, others ordered French onion soup, salad, avocado toast and lattes. Good quality, matches the price. Expect a long wait
As a Colombian living in the Bay Area I thought I had found the glory. I thought I was going to go and expect real Colombian bakery, but that wasn’t the case. First, the atmosphere wasn’t all that and I believe it had to do with the service, they were not that friendly.
Second, the food was not that great. The pan de bono, which I was going for was disgusting. Luckily, I had ordered other things, but were just OK. I mean, for each their own, but this place is fake Colombian food. Even if they are trying be in the“gluten-free” wave, they should also have options of authentic Colombian things, that way people get a real taste of Colombian goodness.
Really enjoyed the sizzling bibimbap. Had it with gluten free pork belly. It was delicious! The menu was clearly labeled what was GF and what wasn't. Awesome!
This vibrant Lao eatery has become a favorite spot for my family and me, offering bold flavors that resonate with our Filipino palates. The liberal use of fish sauce in their dishes creates a delightful umami-rich experience.
Standout dishes:
1. Pad See Ew Beef: Perfectly balanced savory notes complement the soft, wide rice noodles. It's not overly sweet, allowing the flavors to shine.
2. Crispy Eggrolls: Served with fresh veggies and herbs for wrapping, these crunchy rolls are elevated by the accompanying dipping sauce.
Pros:
- Quick, attentive service
- Accommodating of dietary restrictions (gluten-free options available)
- Authentic Lao cuisine
Cons:
- The space gets quite noisy when busy
- Parking can be challenging
The restaurant tends to be packed during dinner hours, which contributes to a somewhat loud atmosphere. The high ceilings, while visually appealing, do amplify the noise.
One unexpected touch is the single TV in the dining area, which adds a casual element to the ambiance. During our last visit, it was showing the Olympics.
Overall, this place offers a solid dining experience with excellent Lao cuisine. If you can manage the occasionally hectic atmosphere and potential parking issues, you'll be rewarded with flavorful dishes and efficient service. It's a worthy destination for those seeking authentic Lao flavors in a lively setting.
I love this restaurant! I eat here regularly and I'm never disappointed. The service is amazing. Staff are so sweet and attentive, and they always accept changes to dishes for allergies or taste preferences. My dad is celiac and can eat practically everything on the menu here--huge range of gluten free options. I'm vegan and there are also so many delicious dishes I can eat, including their vegan al pastor street tacos (which are to die for) and huevos rancheros. They always accommodate my no dairy preference, even when I order online for takeout. Canasta Kitchen also has outdoor seating, which is so nice when the sun is out. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Nice little bakery with great prices for their breads and other items. We were a bit late in the day so many of the daily specials were sold out. I got a cinnamon roll, sticky bun bread pudding, and a pumpkin muffin. The pumpkin muffin had no wheat and since it could come into contact with wheat it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I liked the orange icing on the cinnamon roll but would have liked more cinnamon in the roll. My favorite was the sticky bun bread pudding! I ate half of it cold and the other half microwaved and loved it both ways. I wish that there was a table or two inside.
Our go to for pizza here on Bay Farm. Hand tossed crust is the way to go! I've recently developed a gluten allergy and their gluten free crust is a life saver.
This cafe is across the street from Hampton Inn near Oakland Airport. It's outdoor with plastic tent for shelter. There is a take out option. The food is delicious. Salad Verte has amazing chicken breast. Service is superb, Gluten free options are available. This was recommended by a local who was spot on.
I was very impressed with the flavors and quality of all the dishes I have had. Also, getting gluten-free options is easy. Toomie’s is my FAVE Thai place!
The have gluten free bread!!!
Diana was lovely. We had a great meal and they were kind to our pup. The fig and prosciutto sandwich is delicious- a must try
This place is excellent!
Ingredients are always fresh and abundant, the cooks and cashier are warm and helpful, and the prices are very low for what you get.
Great for folks who need a gluten free diet, and of course for anyone who can enjoy wheat flour too.
I've always loved Jim's on Lincoln and a number of years ago when they opened Jim's On the Course it became my go-to place for a good breakfast or lunch and sitting outside enjoying the sunshine and warm weather in Alameda!
My recent visit did not disappoint: I had the waffle combo that includes your choice of either bacon, link sausage, or sausage patties; I had the latter and a big cup of coffee. Delicious as always!
I'm dining partner is gluten free and ordered breakfast with gluten-free bread that she said was the best she'd had and she wondered what kind it was... We'll have to find out!
Highly recommend Jim's at either location!
This place is amazing! Our non-profit had an event and needed catering for 200 people. Victor, the owner, was super accommodating and made the whole thing a success. He set up the menu (including gluten free and vegetarian options), made more than enough food for us, and made the whole process overall very seamless. Everyone raved about the food. 10/10 recommend!
