Ordered a cake for my friend’s birthday. It was ok. The cake was gluten free cake. There was nothing exceptional about it. I asked to have Happy Birthday written on the cake and nothing was written on the cake. The website wasn’t the easiest to navigate in terms of options to pick up the cake. It was very hard to get in contact with them. I ended up constantly calling all the locations until someone picked up to change my pick up location which was automatically picked for me. I was very annoyed when I went to two locations and both were completely empty but no one was answering the phone or responding to emails. It’s a nice option if you need a gluten free cake for a special occasion, but if I wasn’t coming from out of town, I have to say that I could have made better using gluten free boxed cake mix and making a vegan icing.
The ladies at the counter were nice enough but one was new and wasn’t able to answer any questions the next location was not fully gluten free but they only held the NuFlour products in a glass case and the person working was unable to answer any questions about serving the cake.
Amazing gluten free options! And not just a bun substitute or fries - (although the fries were pretty tasty- bonus that they have a dedicated gluten free fryer!) I tried the gluten free fish and chips as well as the fried calamari and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the batter was. The tartar sauce was delicious- not sweet, very tangy which I love! And the calamari was cooked perfectly- delicate texture and not a single piece was rubbery! The fish was crispy on the outside and wonderfully flaky on the inside. Will definitely be back to try their gluten free fried chicken sandwich next!!!
I haven’t had a good gluten free bagel in YEARS. This place delivers that and other delicious sweet treats. A must stop if you have allergies. I would post a photo but I ate everything so fast. 🥰
I gave 4 stars because although they have a lovely selection of Gluten Free pastries (muffins, cinnamon rolls, and cookies), the soy latte I ordered came out burnt and sour! The muffin I got was good though and nice location!
All day and every day yes. I told myself I was going to be adventurous and not order their signature paella, but I ordered the paella 😀 The flavors and seafood was cooked to perfection, and I had enough to bring some home as well. I only wish that I had that char rice/ socarrat though there was like a little of it around the top of the paella pan. The wait staff was so attentive and recommended a delicious red (since I asked for red and enjoying their sangria) to go with the paella, so when she said it also tasted good with the gluten free cake I had to say yes. She spoke to me of her dreams of getting her sommelier certification- which I think she's already there!!
Had a wonderful meal here while in Seattle for business. Needed to take clients somewhere nice but also safe for me to eat with Celiac.
Menu was clearly marked Gluten Free and both hostess and wait staff made extra notes that I had celiac.
There is a decent amount of gluten free options to enjoy and not be left feeling like there’s only one or two things on the menu you can order.
Had zero issues after eating and 12 hours later still feeling good.
Atmosphere was awesome, oysters were fresh and amazing and the Scallops and Prawns were flavorful and delicious.
Great meal and great night out.

Super lovely place. The cake and ice cream are GREAT and the Gluten Free Cakes are excellent!! As a GF eater, I was super happy to have so many choices! It was a bit expensive ($16 for cake + ice cream), but worth it!
Dietary restrictions like gluten and/or dairy free can be accommodated, or not. At hot cakes, you can find delicious molten free chocolate cakes, a variety of cookies, cupcakes, regular and vegan ice cream, Miro teas, and savory items. Yummy!!
Boy, it felt like we tried nearly the whole menu! We ordered a ton of food and honestly had a great time passing everything around and seeing what stood out.
🌟 Favorites:
- Labneh with dried tomatoes & mint – So, so good. Creamy, fresh, and the mint added the perfect touch.
- Wahl Grazing Lamb with ash-roasted yams, leek crème fraîche & hazelnut-lamb vinaigrette – Juicy lamb, great sauces, everything worked.
- WA Asparagus with apricots, walnuts, sorrel & ramps – It’s served cold (which surprised us), but it was still really tasty.
- Whipped Garlic – Loved this. Flavorful.
- Soft Serve Swirl (Dairy + Vegan flavors) – Don’t skip this. Get the swirl. It’s a must.
👎 Not for Me:
- Grilled Medjool Dates with Turmeric – Way too sweet and kind of weird. No one at the table liked it.
- Roasted chicken w/ a chili-fruit paste - weird sweet sauce, chicken was not juicy.
👀 Heads up if you're gluten-free:
I have a gluten allergy, and almost everything on the menu could be made gluten-free, which was awesome. They even had a crispy rice cake instead of pita for the spreads. Big plus.
💭 Overall:
Would I say it’s worth the massive hype online? Ehh, not really. It was definitely good—some dishes were really good—but not quite mind-blowing. Maybe I’m just a tough critic (NYC problems). Still, I’d go back, especially for the dips and soft serve.
The owner is such an incredibly friendly person and supports other local and small businesses. The cookies are great and there's a nice variety of flavors. I cant eat soy protien or dairy. Im so appreciative that there are vegan (and gluten free) options that I can indulge in there.
Wonderful Italian expletive, reminded me of being in Italy. The restaurant owner was very charismatic and helped us pick our dishes. They have a handmade gluten free pasta option, sort of like long bready gnocchi, or a teeny tiny moist breadstick.
Tasty burgers and fries with a lot of other options if you don't feel like a burger. We had the Hawaiian burger on gluten free bun and the salmon burger. Both were tasty and the prices were more than fair. I like that the menu lists all of the ingredients (onions, mustard, etc) for each item. Would recommend for sure.
It was a pretty okay experience. It was decent sushi and the waitress was nice. The staff knew which items on the menu were gluten free. Overall pretty decent.
1. Please note this is a ghost kitchen and not a sit down place
2. I recommend ordering extra meat (the meat might be insufficient in the bowl, but the price is low so its ok!)
Overall Id recommend this place, it tastes good and feels healthy. They have options for dietary restrictions like gluten free and other (I think maybe most or all stuff on their menu is like that?)
My friend and I loved our lunch here--we enjoyed the flavorful shareable dishes recommended by the owner, who was so kind and helpful. The fried green bananas were incredible! And I appreciated all the gluten-free options.
No deep fryer!!!!! They have fries and tater tots that they air fry!! We had the tater tots and they were do good. My non vegan friend loved the frankfurter. He couldn't tell that it's vegan. I had a gluten-free pizza. The crust was amazing!
I am a difficult customer, yet they were patient with me.
Amazing service, great coffee, and absolutely delicious cannolis. They have a gluten free cannoli shell available which is very good. Also, one of the only coffee shops in the area open til 11pm. Worth it!
The BEST neighborhood spot! Incredible savory food and baked goods that accommodate lots of different dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, etc.) as well as wonderful drinks, all served by a super friendly staff. The selections rotate frequently and are always interesting and superbly executed. The cafe space is airy and welcoming with lots of special touches from the art to the ceramic dishes. Cannot recommend enough!
We eat here often but it's very uninspiring. Burgers are dry every time without fail, even when loaded up with extras. They do have gluten free buns but the fries are not GF safe. The staff seems untrained about allergens. Crowded, busy, slow, loud. Why so popular? I like the rotating 50/50 lemonade ice tea.
I absolutely love this place. I have been to the one on Broadway. This establishment is just as great as the Broadway location. I am grateful that this Sodo location is closer because I could visit this place more often than getting up on capital Hill. These cakes are top-notch. I love the flavors. I just wish they were bigger because I love my desserts. These are great for people with dietary restrictions because they have nondairy ice cream and they have gluten-free desserts as well so you have many options. I will definitely come back. Check it out because they have a nice outdoor seating area when it’s a beautiful day. It’s just perfect.

I think this is a great cafe! It's locally owned, the food is great quality, and the prices are reasonable; especially considering that they have gourmet-style dishes and coffee. The ambiance is also good, it's comfortable with several seating options: patio, bar, low tables, high tables, and some additional cozy spaces. It's also not super loud, so you can have a conversation. The staff is always nice and although the line to order can be long at times (especially for weekend brunches) they do their best to be quick.
I recently had the Brussels sprouts, roasted mushroom toast (which I got on a sliced sweet potato instead of on bread), and the muhammara dip, all of which were great. The Brussels sprouts were well done but flavorful and not dry. The sweet potato "toast" had well-balanced flavors and some greens as well, which I appreciated. The muhammara dip was bright and tangy, with a lively flavor that kind of smacked me in the mouth lol. After the crudite ran out and there was extra dip, I ended up putting some on the toast. The sweet potato really grounded the flavor and I will definitely do that again the next time I have those dishes. But those are just a few of their dishes, they have several great gluten-free and vegetarian options as well as some meat options.
The only downside besides the occasional long line to order is that the door to the patio sometimes stays open and it can let some cold air in. But it's only an issue if you're sitting close to the door and most tables are not situated that way. So still worthy of five stars in my opinion.
