All I remember of Ike's is that I will be there to try all their sandwiches. Very tasty. They are all named after famous people. I believe I will get the Steve Jobs sandwich. Vegan and gluten free! Plus Very reasonable prices for the quality you get. Peace-Walt.

Update: bumped 4 to 5 stars after reflecting how much I'll miss Cali-O as I move elsewhere Original: This place is one of my go to spots living in NP. It's on the pricier side, but I really think it's reflected in the taste because the ingredients are quite good. The beef is the star and if you get a fancy burger, it will be overshadowed by the extra stuff. I get the GF bun and sweet potato fries and have never had any feeling of gluten contamination!

This vegan place is SO good! It was my first time stopping in, and it won't be the last. Plenty of gluten-free options too!

Had a great time there. Gluten free Ramen.... First time I have gotten to have it in at least 30 years... Well since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. They were very nice folks working there. Service was great and food good. Good atmosphere...reminded me a little of when I lived in Japan.

First time we ordered from here, it was awesome, but second time, HORRIFIC. Both pizzas were on the thinnest gluten free crust ever, it felt like we were eating pizza on a saltine. The hillcrest pizza had raw egg on it - couldn’t eat it. The egg white part was so raw that it was clear still and the whole thing jiggled as the box moved. I thought the arugula salad was fantastic until I felt myself crunch into something hard - it was a metal staple!!! Imagine if I had swallowed that. Will not be ordering from here again. Extremely disappointed.
