Popped in to check this place out and so glad I did. I loved it! I ordered the gluten free Margherita pizza and a half order of the kale Brussel sprouts salad and it was all super delicious. That was the absolute BEST gluten free pizza I have ever had! Amazing! Should have taken pics but went straight into eating 😋
Wow what a great spot! My wife and I visited here 3x in the span of a week! The coffee is top notch - strong and tasty. We tried several of the holiday themed coffees which all delivered. It was also awesome seeing they had great gluten free options for breakfast - the chocolate crepes were so tasty! The breakfast croissant was also bomb. Definitely recommend coming here!
Ragamuffin is a HIDDEN GEM! I wish it were closer to LA…this is a must-visit every single time we drive out to Oxnard, Ventura, Camarillo - it is worth the drive specifically for a few special items! They have this one drink called the BBC (blueberry basil cold brew) that is better than almost any other coffee drink we’ve had, period - and we have had a LOT of coffee all over the place. It has a blueberry basil cold foam and it’s insanely good. You can even do a blueberry basil matcha as well! That is also fantastic! Not only that, there are a lot of amazing baked goods here (I got some type of special Nutella croissant, but not sure what it was called, maybe a cruffin?) and some good gluten-free options as well. Plenty of parking, great atmosphere inside, seating inside and out, and of course a great selection of coffee drinks! Check this place out!!
We ate super delicious, the tomato soup was delicious, all the dishes we ate were very delicious and I also have a gluten allergy and they treated me very well, the attention from Enrique and Cynthia was very good!
I want to start by saying, that this is a really cute restaurant, with a nice ambience, and wonderful staff.
The food was excellent. The corned beef hash, was well balanced, and delightfully flavorful. The potatoes were perfectly seasoned, and the hollandaise was nice and rich.
The first squeezed orange juice was also delicious... But that's where things get a little weird. While The corned beef I felt was fairly priced, The orange juice was INSANE! A small 8 to 10 oz glass of orange juice, it was $8.50. (I can get a gallon of organic fresh squeezed orange juice at whole foods for $11.99). Had I known it was going to be that expensive, I would have never have ordered it, but I couldn't have known that it was going to be that expensive when I ordered it, because The server did exactly like a good server is supposed to, and asked if I wanted one before I sat down, and was even given a menu.
I had considered getting the French toast, which they can do gluten-free, because they carry Udi's gluten-free bread... But they do charge a premium of $2.99 for it. The thing about the difference between the regular bread, and the GF bread, is that the GF bread is half as thick, and a smaller size. So you're paying a premium, for less than half of the same entree. I understand that cost can be a thing... But a loaf of Udi's gluten-free bread, is $8 at every major grocery store (Even whole foods). I can guarantee, that the premium bread that they use for their thick cut French toast, is quite comparably priced, and you get half as many slices in a loaf.
I've been working in hospitality for 30 years, and have designed and priced many menus. This level of disparity in pricing, is a definite issue.
Thankfully, like I said... The food was delicious and The staff was amazing. Incredibly friendly, ultimately professional, and not the cause of any of my distress (When I brought the subject up, despite already having paid, the manager was kind enough to remove it. I wasn't asking, or expecting it, but they insisted). This problem is all with the parent company for Marmalade Cafe.
Do I recommend eating there... Absolutely. You will not be disappointed in The culinary part of your experience... Just make sure you look at the menu first before ordering anything, because when given the chance, the company will apparently gouge you deep.
Casual fine dining at the mall is owned and operated by private equity. Equating this to an upscale Red Robin wouldn't be too far off the mark.
This location is one of many. Thousand Oaks is a likely target for restaurants of this type. The menu feels all-encompassing, from the restaurant burger to tacos and some Chinese-inspired dishes. The feel is all corporate. The menu covers the bases of comfort food and bar-like items.
Part of the menu is also designed family style. There is also quite a support for Gluten-free items.
Maybe playing on the novelty, but a section described as "TV Diners" plays on nostalgia and oddly served at a sit-down restaurant.
The pricing is what hits this restaurant. A restaurant burger will set you back $18 or more. There is nothing special about their burgers unless you are a fan of putting peanut butter and jelly in your hamburger. A "not" Cuban Sandwich will also set you back $18 and it is grilled on sourdough bread. Which is a bit of an insult. I was expecting better service when paying $5 for non-alcoholic beverages. Our server, although attentive, seemed reluctant to refill our beverages.
The food quality is good here and you will receive a good meal, but fueling the private equity costs brings no value other than comfortable decor.
The staff was friendly. Clean. I went at senior hour. Lol Oh yeah the pizza was great and the gluten free luton menu is pretty awesome. 1st time visiting the place.will go back
Servers were very nice with a quality amount of fried which tasted good with good seasoning but I am vegan and had to get the vegan burger which means I had to get the gluten-free, but which came with a patty with very little seasoning, and the tiniest patty I’ve ever seen, which fit in like a 4 inch bag and the bread dissolved in my mouth, and I couldn’t taste anything, except for the bread it did not fill me up and was definitely not worth $20. The servers were nice though, and helped me with The service and the questions I had.
I just had the most generous experience here! I was speaking with the manager about how I would love to try a slice of their gluten free pizzas, and they do not have slices do this available. He proceeded to order me one on the house and allowed me to try it! And let me tell you, it was worth it! Gluten free people, rejoice!!
I came with my family to eat dinner here on a Friday night and it was amazing! The best part was they have gluten-free pasta available, and the naccheri amatriciana was to die for. Service was great, we were well taken care of throughout the meal. Staff were very knowledgeable about the menu, wine, etc. and were extremely attentive. I highly recommend!
The staff was outstanding, offering exceptional service with a friendly and helpful attitude. The food was all vegan, bursting with flavor, though it does lean on the spicier side, so be prepared! They were kind enough to let me sample a few dishes before ordering, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area. Some gluten free options too.
Great selection, lots of dairy free options, and delicious flavors to chose from. But the thing that will keep me coming back is the staff. So friendly, really patient and extremely charming! They even helped my girlfriend find a gluten-free option by lifting up the barrel of ice cream and checking the ingredients. This is my new favorite place to get a sweet treat! I’ll be back soon :))
I had never visited this franchise before because I am gluten free. This location is new. When I drove by I saw a gluten free bread sign!!! Score!! Finally, I could actually have a sandwich away from home. What a great experience when I saw the counter. No pressed meats visible, only real whole muscle meats. The staff totally knew the protocol for dealing with gluten free orders. They were also super friendly as well. Highly recommend this location!
Good sandwiches, ok prices (a bit expensive). They do carry gluten free bread (be sure to call ahead). They do a decent job trying to prevent cross contamination but still has work to do. Lines can be really long at lunch time so be sure you have plenty of time or order ahead. Parking can be difficult at times.
I've been to Panera a number of times over the years and always enjoy their freshly made soups, salads, and breads but this particular location has always been my favorite. Their fully stocked bakery items are a visual panacea that draws you in and makes you want to forget that 'you don't eat gluten' and lures you to come closer if only just to inhale the aroma. I resist and order a bowl of creamy cheddar broccoli soup and a cup of blood orange lemonade of which I devoured every spoonful. Great casual place to have lunch with friends no matter what your eating habits are.
this place is INCREDIBLE! our server anais was so attentive and aware of food sensitivities, i can’t have gluten and she was so aware of what i could and couldn’t eat on the menu. i’ve never had such fast service at a kbbq before, never going anywhere else for kbbq again <3
My wife and I ate there on Saturday. The food was great, the service was amazing, and we loved the atmosphere with live music. I am gluten-free and our server was knowledgeable enough to know that they put flour in the enchilada sauce to thicken it. The chips and salsa were the best I’ve had in a long time. Also we were amazed at how fast our food arrived. It seemed like three minutes, but was probably more like five.
