I love eating at Costa Vida! My sister and I both have celiac, and the employees are incredible about switching their gloves and keeping our meals separate from other orders. I eat here frequently because I can trust that I’ll feel great afterwards!
My family and I absolutely loved this place! We originally wanted to go to TruReligion but it was a 2 HOUR wait on a THURSDAY 😳 yeah no. We went to the Brunch House instead and we couldn’t have been happier. Only a 30 minute wait and we were served quickly. Very friendly staff, great gluten free options that tasted great, yummy smoothies, and the lil potato chunks were divine wow! As you can tell, we loved it! It has trumped TruReligion for us.
First the positive: I really like the food. Especially love the gluten free options it’s awesome to have.
The bad: the service can be extremely frustrating. I usually don’t leave even semi-negative reviews but this place has been so frustrating lately. I called today to see if they had gluten free dough and I could hear over the phone the person asking someone else if they had it and then both employees saying “We have gluten free dough?” And “I don’t know where it’s kept if we do, I’m new here”. Then he came back and said “We don’t have it.”
My wife ordered the Buffalo chicken bun to go and they got it wrong 3 times. We finally got the right bun and the dough on the bottom was absolutely raw and still smelled like raw dough. She asked the employee and they brushed her off. I went back in after she showed me to get a refund.
In the past few weeks I’ve ordered gluten free items online and waited the extra 30 minutes plus that it usually takes before coming in only for them to say they were out of gluten free dough. (I don’t mind it takes longer for the items it’s just being told that they are out of item over 30 minutes after ordering)
I really like the food but it seems that the employees need more training and better systems in place.
I really enjoyed eating at MMK's today. Very authentic. Very delicious. Very nice people. They made me siopao. I've seriously been craving it since I left the Philippines in 1990! And my wife got to try Halo-halo for the first time. My wife is gluten-free and they had options for her. Great experience!
