Consistently delicious food. Allergy friendly for people that are vegan and/or gluten-free. Quick service. I always order online and pop in to grab. The reader board of names is so helpful to see if your food is ready. I make everybody try the beets.

You have to try this place! The atmosphere was intimate but energetic, and the staff was phenomenal. It was a little on the pricier side, but the gluten free pasta options were great and if you saved room for dessert, we HIGHLY recommend getting the affogato! Will be coming back.🙂

Great spot with fun views! They were very accommodating to our party who had vegan and gluten free needs!

Susan Tellep

Obsessed with the food...fresh and tons of options (Gluten dairy free)

Helen Turner

The best house-made gluten free pastries anywhere! And such friendly service from cafe owners behind the counter. A lot of hard work to keep this great little place going!

Stopped here for some brunch and was pleasantly surprised at this restaurant find! Clearly marked menu with gluten free items, laid back atmosphere, large indoor space with many tables, and a smaller covered outdoor seating area. Plenty of parking on street and they do also have a parking lot. We will be back.

I ordered the vampiro, Birria nachos and consommé. The server recommended the consommé and vampiro and I am very happy I decided to order it. The vampiro isn’t hot! All the sauce is on the side. It has a cheesy layer between the tortilla and has birria, cilantro, pico de gayo with cilantro. The side of green and red sauce is very spicy. The nachos have melted queso with birria, pinto beans, and cilantro/pico. The consommé is so delicious: it’s savory and tastes rich like bone broth with shredded meat, perfect to dip the vampiro in it. Also, the server mentioned the owners have celiac and have made the tortillas/chips celiac friendly (except the flour tortilla burritos/quesadillas). I will be coming back!

We came in during rush hour but were still served fairly quickly. We ordered calzones, which were great. It's awesome that they have gluten-free pizzas. We ended up having the chicken pesto one, which was pretty tasty. They also have outdoor seating with views of Alki Beach. Great experience overall!

This place always has a line so I had high expectations! Pretty okay quick breakfast place. Tasty gluten free bread but main sandwich was kind of bland. Ordered the works but it was mostly lettuce. Would have been better if it had a piece of meat or some cheese. The meat is in the egg. Coffee is okay as well, not bad. Husband had smoked salmon bagel and said it was okay as well. Decent for quick service! Probably wouldn't go out of the way to return.

Breakfast here is a good choice for Alki beach! The water view gives the spot a huge advantage. If it’s a warm day, opt for the front or side decks for people Watching. When we arrived, Denice gave us the best indoor seat in the house. She was kind and thoughtful and really added value to our meal experience. I enjoyed the salmon omelet with homemade potatoes. I also opted for gluten free toast. I was happy they had a gf option but its 50cents extra for one single toast. The food was good. My partner had the large breakfast. everything was average. The best part of the meal was the bacon Bloody Mary, very yummy and strong. Generous with the vodka, not so generous with the gluten free toast. Oh and great drip coffee! Stop by for a classic diner-esque meal, with a beachy twist. The menu is extensive and I’m sure it’ll have something you like. Cheers!

Gluten, or gluten free with your coffee? All of the above is a right answer. Cute small shop between Bradford & Spokane on California Ave. is helping revive this quiet portion of the avenue near the West Seattle Junction. Space is tight, and the flow is wonky. You give your order right as you enter, in front of the stacked cups. I always feel like the barista can't see me (blocked line of sight for shorter people). Then when you get to the open-spaced cashier don't forget to look down, into the case, for the yummy gluten pastries. To be fair I did try the gluten-free apple donut since it sat prominently on the counter. But the chewy-yet-fluffy cinnamon sugar mochi donut is my preference!! Moonrise Bakery did it right! The coffee bean is BOLD, but not too acidic (commonly mistaken for bitter). You can adjust it (Americano), or add your milk. Another weird/tight flow issue is that the lid/milk station is further inside the shop, toward the back. So if there are more than a few customers there might be some elbow rubbing & bumping. But if you love their coffee bean then I guess you can put up with it. As for me, if it's too busy I'll just wait until next time. They do have some other coffee-making related supplies,including whole bean, for sale. And a local chocolate company's dark chovolate bars for sale (I'll update the brand when I remember). Nice staff, worth trying and supporting this small business.

This place is a WS family favorite. First stop was admittedly out of necessity/fear of hangry kids after ballgame. I am embarrassed by how often we come now. It’s perfect for gluten/dairy free kiddo. Perfect for vegetarians (veg mulitas, so so good). Green salsa is amazing. Owner is always smiling and remembers everyone’s orders. Feels good all around.

I wish I had taken photos of the food, but we were so excited to eat that I forgot. Some tips for easy ordering: 1. You must order online through THEIR website -- you cannot order at the window. 2. It is not a food truck.. it is a large commissary kitchen shared by a few different restaurants. KaPow is on the back side closer to the intersection, and 3. You'll have to call to let them know you're there. But on to the food! Holy Jesus lord in HEAVEN was this food good. We used to eat at Bang Bar, but their prices are exorbitant, there is hardly any meat in their dishes (even when I pay for extra), and they can't get their spice rating consistent. So my roomie and I have been trying to find a new Thai place for our main place. Enter, KAPOW! Had a bit of a kerfuffle ordering (didn't know we couldn't order there), and it ended up taking about 40m instead of 15m. The woman who works there literally walked hot cruchy rolls TO MY CAR for free because of the wait. They were AMAZING. We got our food before the estimated finish time and brought it home where we stood at the counter stuffing our faces like heathens before we decided to slow down and dish up into a bowl. It was just that good -- we didn't want to stop eating. The portions were MASSIVE. It was so much food. My roommate got the Pineapple fried rice (+tofu, -egg, -fish sauce) and it was easily three portions of food. Also, I mistakenly went to the window when we first got there, and spoke with the woman employee (i feel so bad that i dont know her name) before ordering. I let her know we needed the rice dish to be vegan, and there was no where to specify this online. She said she would remember, so I ordered online, but then I forgot to check a box on the website when ordering for gluten free. She literally came out to my car to verify my order. So so SO nice of her. My father and I got Pad Si Iew with Sirloin steak, and there was more meat than noodle in this dish! How generous! And the flavor? 10/10! Absolutely delicious mix of sweet and salty from the brown soy. I'm heating some up for lunch as we speak. We added steamed vegetables for 7.00 more, and they were cooked perfectly. My dad kept raving about them. They were perfect al denté. I ordered the Ka Pow Chicken over rice. Again, massive freaking portion. I easily have 70% left over. And jam packed with flavor. The ground chicken absorbed so much basil and spice flavor that every bite was so satisfying. A few nice big chunks of red bell pepper were a welcome change from the normal green bell pepper at other Thai restaurants. So glad I tried something new because this was delicious. To sum up: Wonderful service, great portion sizes, and amazing food. I called them in the middle of eating just to tell them how great the food was.

One of our favorite restaurants in Seattle; it can be hard to get in but food is always great and the service is warm. The new heated outdoor patio is a lovely extension. Many thoughtful touches, including a dedicated mocktail list. I am gluten avoiding and have never had an issue here; there are many dishes without wheat and some pasta dishes can be swapped to be on a polenta cake base. (They will be honest about which pasta dishes lend themselves well to this.)

I picked this place because someone else gave them a rave review on gluten free pizza and a margarita. They play good music. One restroom was out of order. The other was just a little unpleasant. The whole place needs updating. The benches in the booths are all torn up. It’s dimly lit, but if you pay attention to detail you can see the need for updates. The bartender greeted me and I sat down in a booth. She was quick to get my order and brought my drink. They have a cool drink menu and I went with the G.I.F. (Girl From Ipanima). The waitress basically tossed my pizza on the table and took off but she turned back when I thanked her. I sensed there was some tension in the place. The smell of pizza is heavenly. The toppings were great but the crust was so thin and hard, I could barely cut it. I realize that’s probably not their fault. I hope they find a better one. I finished my drink. The server offered a box, I said yes please. She came back with my pizza in a bix and tossed the check in the table and grabbed my empry drink glass and my unfinished water. Wow. She never asked if I wanted another drink (I don’t because I’m driving), but she could have left my water while I sit here and wait for her to come back and get my payment. At this time, all the business is at the bar. I’m the only fool sitting at a table waiting for her to come back.
