Being celiac, I blame myself for believing that a Mac and Cheese place that offers a gluten free alternative could be for real. Don’t be fooled by their ‘GF available’ option, either the sauce was made with flour, or they reused the water to boil the pasta, but I had the worst gluten experience of my life. It was way beyond cross contamination. I agree that the food was delicious, but I would not risk it being are celiac or gluten intolerant, I regretted it deeply. The restaurant agreed to reimburse my plate and ‘look at the kitchen footage’… one week later and I am still waiting for the refund and never heard about their conclusion. I would not brand this place GF unless they change to a dedicated kitchen.
To end the night on an even lower note, although not the restaurant’s fault, our car got broken into, parked right outside the restaurant.

I’ve eaten here more than 10 times. I’ve never had one bad meal here, not one. I have impressed a lot of people that I have brought here with me from the harden foodie to the person who needs gluten free.
Their gluten free menu is spectacular. This restaurant works hard on all fronts. The service is always warm and on point. Periodically, there is a a massive breakout celebration going on for someone’s party. The mood is chill and unpretentious.
Do yourself a favor and experience it yourself!
Our awesome experience started with a phone call from Imani. She was following up about a request I made on Open Table for a quiet spot because I’m highly sensitive. She was so understanding and kind. When we arrived, we had a great place on the patio. The food met all expectations and the N/A cocktails were sophisticated. There were lots of gluten free options with a GF vanilla cheesecake to die for. The service was impeccable. The restaurant is located in a great neighborhood and we walked off the wonderful dinner we had.
Please support this all vegan establishment and their wonderful, attentive staff!
Celebrated my birthday here and had a great time!! The QR takes a little getting used to (particularly if your reception isn't great) but it's so efficient. Our food and drinks flowed, with no one waiting too long. The masked staff were welcoming and didn't rush us to leave.The general vibe was very friendly. I can recommend the French 75, Ethiopian Hummus, veggie sampler and gluten free injera. Thank you Enssaro!
Amazing gluten free Detroit style pizza! Honestly it’s my favorite gluten free pizza, beating out Tony’s Pizza napoletana. I always go for the big Von and have even purchased my own Mikes Hot Honey bottle from Sprouts to always have unlimited hot honey when devouring this delicious za. Staff is very friendly and has done a great job to reduce any chances of cross contamination. I have celiac disease so I’m very sensitive to any traces of gluten and haven’t had any issues. I just wish they had a SPG’s with gluten free option in San Jose so I could have this pizza more regularly. Great Pizza!
Great gluten-free options that don’t sacrifice flavor. Everything was fresh and food cooked with wok was nicely charred. Soup was flavorful. Service was attentive. Definitely will be back.
I’ve eaten at 4+ different Ethiopian spots in Oakland so far, and this has been my favorite experience. Great gluten-free injera, kind service, and very yummy veggie combo platter. 👍
There are gluten free options for people not allergic or celiac. If you are very sensitive don't dine here unless you are content with salad. The staff was five stars for transparency, and not sending me home with six weeks of agony. Really appreciate it.

Amazing spot! The menu was very clear about dietary restrictions, and the fact that it’s an entirely gluten free establishment made me feel very safe in ordering. Portions for the bowls were fantastic (yay leftovers for lunch the next day!), and shout out to the many dressing/sauce options available. Finding gluten free teriyaki sauce AND vegan ranch to dip their delicious cauliflower wings? A major win!
Only caveat to note is the cookie dough potion is quite small for the price, but I do love to support Sweet Loren’s when I can.
Overall, so happy to have found this spot, and will definitely be ordering from here when I’m visiting Oakland again!
A great breakfast place I've been going to for decades. Had lemon curd pancakes, so good! Others had catfish and eggs and lox scramble. We left nothing behind! They have excellent gluten free toast.
I've never been dissapointed coming here! If you love a good crusty sourdough like me, then you must try Arizmendi! I'll confess it's not the best SD loaf I've had but pretty close to it and only because the Bay Area has too many choices which make the SD competition stiff here. They do, however, make the best heavenly sourdough pizza on earth and offer a delicious daily vegetarian soup that will leave you with a very difficult choice to make.
As for the baked goodies, the almond flour brownie is the best brownie I've ever had and it's gluten free!?! But don't let that keep you from trying it...I couldn't't believe I actually found a GF item I like. Even my kids approve! Unfortunately, the Lakeshore location is the only one selling it but don't worry any pastry at Arizmendi is great. Croissants are flaky and buttery, cookies are chewy and fresh... You can't go wrong with Arizmendi on any given day.
I took my staff here for lunch. It was a top notch experience. Rosa, our server, was so amazing. She was very friendly, engaging and welcoming. The food was so flavorful and beautifully arranged on the plate. There were several vegetarian and gluten free options available. The atmosphere was a vibe, from the music to the decor. It's very obvious that a lot of thought and attention to detail went into creating this space!
Great place to get a big breakfast for under $20. Gluten free crepes, pancakes and toast. Fresh food always. Super friendly flexible staff and owners (ie let me swap the ham on my Benedict for GF bread, no upcharge, never complain when I bring my own coffee). Great place to bring the kids (kid menu) and to WORK! Large open space with just the right amount of noise/activity to keep you on task).
Best Thai food in the East Bay -- and I have tried lots of them. Good place to have a quiet dinner: The restaurant is in an area that doesn't get a lot of food traffic, so they're never super busy.
They can accommodate gluten-free for most of their dishes.
An absolutely amazing experience tonight. Came out with friends for some food, and had a great time chatting while watching pokemon and eating amazing burgers. A friend can't eat gluten and they had gluten-free options for them. Both me and them got the smokehouse burger which was amazing. At first I was skeptical of the price but wow. The amount of food and how filling it was was absolutely worth it. Also it was delicious. The other burgers chosen looked good too. One of my friends are a walk away so they will be back with their partner!
We got the smoothie + green dragon sandwich on sourdough bread. It was very yummy and fresh. We also got the caprese panini with chicken on a gluten-free bagel and it was amazing - highly recommend!! the coffee was mid. i got an iced vanilla latte with soy milk, i think it would be better if you just got hot coffee here. the cashier was super nice and sweet!!!
If you’re in SFO or Oakland and looking for a place that combines incredible food, amazing ambiance, and top-notch service, Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine is it. The vibe here is simply fantastic—bright, lively, and full of Instagram-worthy spots that will have you snapping pics all night.
We were short on time, so we opted to share a couple of dishes, and they did not disappoint. First was the Roti Mataba: Stuffed roti with curry chicken, potato, onion, and peanuts, paired with curry sauce. Absolutely delicious. And we got the Thai Vacation Dessert: A delightful mix of fresh coconut, sticky rice, coconut ice cream, coconut cream, peanuts, and sesame. Sweet, creamy, and refreshing—it’s a dessert dream come true and also gluten-free!
Though we didn’t have time to explore more dishes, this place has earned a solid spot on our must-return list.
Food choices and flavors galore! The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Seating options inside the cafe or outside in their courtyard. Also, dog friendly! Vegetarian and gluten free and vegan choices a plenty. This place is a must.
We came here with our son and his fiancée, as it’s their favorite restaurant (they live locally). We sat outside and had a wonderful dinner. We started with their fresh focaccia bread and the watermelon and cantaloupe salad, both delicious. I had their gluten free pasta with Bolognese sauce - outstanding, and my wife had the Paccheri & Mama Sugo - tomato braised pork and beef sauce, with parmesan and basil. She loved it. We ended with the fresh raspberry sorbet , and a lemon cake (with berries and cream) - yum!
Thank you for the holiday treat. This is a great spot if you are looking for an authentic Ethiopian/ Eritrean Enjera (spongy bread). They have gluten free ones two.
I came for a casual lunch, and not too often do I have such a nice experience at a restaurant.
The salsa had very fresh flavor, the grilled chicken sope had a wonderful sauce, and as a final treat the dairy-free gluten-free Coconut Flan was delicious. As a person with food sensitivities i really appreciated that they featured this item.
Prices are good.
The servers are friendly and attentive. Obelisco sets a model for eateries regarding quality food and service.
Wow I was so surprised. Such great service here, gluten free menu, delicious home made ginger vodka. Really, a must try so many amazing dishes that are fresh and the service is very attentive and accommodating.
We came to Miss Saigon as a matter of convenience since our group of seven friends was attending a concert nearby, and most of the group was vegetarian. We were absolutely thrilled with the food at this restaurant. The vegetarian options were plentiful, flavorful, and fresh. Service was impeccable and lightning fast. We loved everything we ordered. The salt and pepper tofu, eggplant and tofu curry, braised wheat gluten with vegetables, and garlic noodles were outstanding. Everyone agreed that this was one of the best meals we had had in a long time. I am eager to return to sample their non-vegetarian options. This is a gem of a restaurant and a terrific find in Oakland. Highly recommended!
Had an excellent business lunch with my business partner - prefect spot for me bc I tend to talk super loud when I’m having a great time and you can here without the place being too noisy. My partner has a nut and gluten allergy and I was so happy to see the waitress took note and had another staff come to the table to discuss with her. I had the Saltado de pollo - soy sauce and ginger sauce over stir fried chicken with tomatoes and red onions over white jasmine rice 🍚 , and a salad. The lunch was bomb ! Also , had the chicha Moraga sour - semi sweet and citrusy drink with Angostura bitters - came out beautifully - see pic, parking was easy peasy !
