The service was lovely and as someone with coeliac disease, I felt very safe eating here (the server let me know that the original owner’s wife is celiac, and so that made me feel like they would have a good understanding of cross-contamination). The eggs and hashbrowns were just OK and the chicken sausage and the pancake that I had were pretty good.
This place is fantastic.
I have celiac and a wheat/oat allergy and the staff was knowledgeable about all allergens for menu items. I had no bad reactions to the food afterward.
The food is delicious too - I'm an omnivore who eats vegan/vegetarian a decent amount. It stands amongst some of my favorite restaurants ever (non vegan included). Did not think it being vegan detracted from flavor whatsoever.
Highly recommend, especially if you have gluten sensitivity.
I liked the food and the staff was very nice and friendly, they seemed like they did want to be there. The food was good, there were many gluten friendly options. I also liked the drink options and flavors. the mimosas say they’re puree but it seemed more
like a puree syrup.
A delicious little breakfast spot. Although there usually seems to be a line, I was lucky and didn't have to wait.
Their menu is varied but feels a bit limited, but the name says "pancakes."
The hash browns are greasy for not being so fried. The sausages are delicious paired with the pancakes, even the gluten-free ones.
It's nice to eat on their terrace; the weather is perfect.
The service was good, although despite the place not being full, the waiter forgot to bring me a juice I ordered. I don't know if it's customary in SD, but they brought us the bill before we ordered it, which seemed rude to us.
My gluten free 11 year old is on a boys trip with his Dad. He called me specifically to ask that I leave a 5 star review because he loved the gluten free chocolate chip pancakes so much. He ate 4 of them in 10 minutes. He was one happy customer.
Actually came here for Yelp event and took an order to go.
It was just the plain Buttermilk Pancakes and Whipped Mascarpone topping. I actually wanted the red velvet pancakes but they don't have those to go to avoid any cross-contamination on their griddles at the back. The custom flavors are only available for stove top. To go orders were for gluten-free or buttermilk pancakes only.
That said I actually really loved even those buttermilk pancakes so I can only imagine how good the red velvet must be! Just the right amount of sweet and I didn't even need to add any toppings on it.
Mascarpone was perfectly smooth and delicious on its own as well.
Really looking forward to coming here and making my own pancakes sometime soon.
What a Find. Four people, four different breakfasts turned out to be four delicious meals. I must eat gluten free and didn't expect there'd be much for me other than eggs. Surprise, surprise, not only did I find their massive sized gluten free pancakes delicious, my gluten eating family members all agreed.
Our server Nancy was super friendly and attentative and the rest of the staff acted like we were old friends. The next time we're in the area we know where we'll go. Do yourself a favor and don't miss the Broken Yolk Cafe.
Cute spot and opens early! There were Gluten free pancakes and other options, but you'll need to ask the server to double check regarding allergies. Service was great and the food was tasty. Everything came out fast. Atmosphere was good, especially for an early morning crowd.
So incredible we ate here two days in a row! Krysta was absolutely amazing and accomdating to our gluten free and vegetarian needs. The food was delicious! Fresh and flavorful, we enjoyed Mimosa flights, the acai bowl, Swami's breakfast combo, the vegetarian hash and several of their smoothies. Cool, relaxed and trendy location (we stayed nearby at the Beau). Krysta also gave us recommendations for great spots to visit during our stay and was right on with her recommendations.
When on vacation, it's not just the scenery and attractions that bring visitors back---it's the people you meet. Krysta is such a great representation of how wonderful San Diego is.
We are already planning our next trip back!
