Found this little cafe on Christmas Eve and we're glad we did. Went for breakfast. The food was very fresh and tasted great. Coffee was also very nice. Plenty of gluten free options so everyone is covered. Service was fast and attentive.
If I could give this place a negative review I would. They risked my health…I told them that I have a dairy allergy and celiac disease and I specifically asked for no cheese or sauce of any kind and for gluten free bread. I thought I could trust this place to make a simple sandwich, and they had cheese in my sandwich. How can you trust an establishment to make do anything right with their blatant apathy towards their customers and their health.
The sushi was incredible. I really enjoyed the Toro Jalapeño roll. The freshness and taste were outstanding. They were very accommodating to my gluten-free needs and even offered gluten-free soy sauce. The service was quick and efficient.

Great gluten free options from bread on sandwiches to gf pancakes, the staff was educated and informed about gf. Bread was great and pancakes were so good!!
Incredible breakfast experience. Fun atmosphere, ordervat the countercand they bring the food out to you.
Our food was fantastic and came out quickly. Nice gluten free bread option which is in my pictures.
Coffee was outstanding and the carrot juice was the perfect blend of ingredients.
I am from Nebraska here visiting friends. This was their first time there and we all agree it was a great experience and would go back again.
Had a great time here ! I am vegan and my cousin is gluten free & vegetarian , and they had so many great options ! The staff was so kind in helping us decide on what to order. The food was so flavorful and delicious with great portion sizes, we got the pad Thai and the turmeric curry ramen , plus 2 hard kombucha on draft. I also grabbed a pack of vegan Chocolate chip cookies on the way out that were fantastic. Plus, it was as super close to our hotel which was amazing ! A great vegan spot in Santa Monica ! Would highly recommend.
Such a great Cheesecake Factory! Manager was incredible. Food is always enjoyable and so is the cheesecake 😊 they have a bunch of gluten free options as well as gluten free cheesecake options!
The most amazing bread outside of Europe! If you love eating real and healthy bread, come here. They are using Italian flour to make their dough and you can taste the quality! My friend who is allergic to gluten, can eat their country loaf. A must try!!
We’re visiting from Maryland and stopped for lunch today. Our server, Lucas, was great and helpful in pointing out the gluten-free choices. Our whole family enjoyed their meal and would highly recommend!
I'll start with the deep appreciation for the delish gluten-free options--not always easy to find--and the excellent Italian cuisine. The ambiance is relatively quiet and a welcome reprieve from the overly amped LA restaurant scene (though there's a time and place for that too). Delifini has welcoming hosts and servers who make for an overall great evening. Perfetto!
Ok this place has amazing food!! Their portion sizes are excellent and everything is super fresh organic and farm-to-table. They use this amazing seeded bread from a nearby bakery and local pasture-raised eggs that are bright orange.
Go for the Niçoise salad for a tasty classic.
Also the avocado mousse dessert is a great gluten-free option and to die for! The outside seating is lovely. A great lunch spot for sure.
Great experience at Patrick's Roadhouse. It is a very laid back restaurant with fun, very unique decor.
We sat outside, there were heaters but it was pleasant out so they turned them off for us.
My friend had gluten free pancakes and I had the breakfast burrito with no meat along with a slice of pie. We did wait a while for the food but it was worth it. Prices are perhaps a little high but the food is worth it.
I'm in love with the Lemonade Restaurant, my number one place I had to stop at was Lemonade when coming to Cali. Love it so much id go back this weekend 🤣 on a serious note theyre beverages are quality and pretty cheap. The food there is very healthy and they have gluten free and vegan options as well. I would totally recommend at least trying this place fan or not of the lemonade drink. Oh and if you guys see this please add a location in colorado!
Absolutely the sweetest, cutest spot on Montana! I am not a coffee drinker. I much prefer tea and I am gluten free, so Buena Vida checks so many boxes for me. They have many gluten free options for sweet treats to go along with your tea. In particular the Portuguese Walnut Cake! The garden on the back is so precious! It is a wonderful spot to grab a tea with a friend or bring your laptop to get some work done or even just bring a book and grab a cup of tea and relax. The staff is really friendly too. It really is a magical little shop! Can't recommend Buena Vida enough!
A DIVINE FLAVOR POCKET TO GO. Vegan, Non-Vegan, Gluten Free, all of them deliciousss. The service is so quick, the menu is full of delicious options, and the prices are exactly what they need to be. Do yourself a favor and have a stop here.
Amazing salads, would highly recommend, especially as it is clear which are gluten free. Fantastic flavour. Friendly staff.

Vito strikes again!! I've been to both Mother Wolf and Felix in the past month, and can confidently say that Vito has BETTER pasta than both these places! I didn't even know it was possible to make gnocchi with as light and pillowy a texture as Vito does, and the pesto sauce is the creamiest and most delectable that's ever graced these tastebuds. The wait staff is incredibly friendly and fits right in with the cozy Italian atmosphere (though it can get a little loud in the main dining room). Vito himself also assured me that the entire menu is keto and gluten friendly-- I don't know how they do it! Anyone looking for a 5 star classic Italian meal must come here.
The Brussels sprouts were so flavorful it set me up for a huge disappointment when my entree came. The halibut was the most flavorless dish I’ve had in a while. I didn’t detect one spice, not even salt or pepper. It was a real disappointment. The service and atmosphere were good though, the temperature notwithstanding (it was quite chilly in the restaurant), and they were good about food sensitivities with gluten free and other options noted on the menu.
Fantastic upmarket steak restaurant in Santa Monica. The service was excellent and the food delicious. Their speciality is 🥩 steak. Many gluten free options also available.
Fantastic service, great honest recommendations and a friendly welcome from the staff. Food was very tasty - burgers can be served with a gluten free bun - decent sized portions at a good price on all the meals including the kids menu.
Really nice to eat outside on the beach with the table and chairs in the sand, definitely the change of scenery we needed this week! We'll be back again 😁
OH THE MUFFINS! Gluten-free AND delicious😋!
Registers are extremely polite and drinks yummy!
Appetite for this sort of lounge is growing on me!
Listening greatly (inner‐chi essence) I'll return🙉!
Living conversation while ordering is prime living!
Youthfully, a revamped church is the new or ship!
First, the ramen itself- the broth was creamy, the noodles were excellent, the meat was tender and delicious, and the egg was cooked to perfection. They offer a variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options for noodles, broth and toppings, while keeping their basic dish pretty authentic.
Everything else from the laid back atmosphere to the excellent service is icing on the cake!
5 first bites out of 10 were almost all fat, tortilla was like trying to cut paper or cardboard, my hand began to hurt from pressing so hard to cut it so I gave up and got a steak knife.
Well, you're thinking: you could pick it up and just bite it right? Yes, tried that, super greasy all over my hand, guess that's why they put the paper under everything, either to absorb some of the grease(?) or to make it easier for them to clean,(?) not just to make it slide around as you struggle to cut through stale tortilla.
The WHOLE POINT of eating out is to have THE RESTAURANT do the heavy lifting, not to inconvenience the customer to make it easier on those working! I hate the attitude of this place: it's better for them to charge you first, sucker you into giving a bigger tip than you would after you experience the poor food and service.
Seats and table were dirty. Straws for drinks are NOT PROTECTED from CONTAMINATION by a paper wrapper, and TOUCHED BY EVERYONE who tries to get one from the glass full of straws they set out FOR YOU TO HELP YOURSELF TO. GROSS!
And if they think THAT'S ok, what OTHER HIDEOUSLY DISGUSTING things are they doing in the kitchen!?
Silverware seemed clean, but spotty, like they're using the cheapest soap they can... The whole experience had way too many red flags...
They charge you for the meal first and ask for a tip, you order by queuing up at the bar, so kind of a fast food experience. Learned my lesson, I'm never tipping before I get the food and service again, they've obviously found they get better tips BEFORE people experience the food and service....
Poor service, had to go get the steak knife myself, asked what kind of tortilla it was, regular, not some weird gluten free or something as I suspected for this area and the atmosphere they're trying to project, so they're just serving up stale, average food in what looks like an upscale setting, but not worth what they're charging for it.
$10 specials seemed like a good deal until we saw what we got for it, two TINY fried tacos that were incredibly average that had barely any meat/ingredients for my wife, and a "burrito" 1/4 the size of any burrito I've had before.
Ah well, I'm trying to lose weight anyway, this way I won't have to wrangle leftovers, so I tried to be positive about it...
But...
My birria beef was barely shredded, causing me to have to practically do surgery to separate the huge gobs of fat from the beef, and struggling again to carve off a piece of beef from the huge chunk.
And they CHARGE $5 for a small plate of stale hard tortilla chips and salsa, so we ended up paying $50 for this meal when we would have enjoyed fast food more than this nonsense.
I was literally SAWING through my tough burrito like WOOD to carve off a huge chunk. I left one bite behind I was so disgusted and fed up with the whole experience, and to signal them something was wrong, but they already had my money, so I doubt they care.
Unless you're working nearby and willing to pay the premium for average food and location, you'll have a better experience somewhere else.
Comically bad. SO BAD that I have to think a lot of, if not the majority, of the good reviews are fake... Especially supposedly foodies raving about this place? No way. Maybe if they just THINK they're foodies but have bad taste?
I just don't believe it, and we all know there are fake review service businesses...
I mean, if your TWO specials BOTH suck...
Came in requested gluten free bun for 3 burgers. They did not follow instructions and still put it on regular bun. I have celiac and I don't feed it to my nieces because of how severe it is with me ordered 3 burgers and the manager Luis picks up with a heavy accent get rude refuses to give the corporate number and then hangs up because I was having a hard time understanding him. He kept cutting me off and over speaking me instead of fixing the issue he chose to not even acknowledge the mistake.
Sublime balance of flavors and texture. Mom and I deeply enjoyed their flawless execution of eggplant parmigiana (epic), wild arugula salad, Dover sole, gluten-free vongole, and black truffles over homemade pasta. Italian food this good if very, very hard to find.
What an absolute DREAM of a restaurant. I went here for the first time for dinner yesterday and was floored. Ambiance 10/10. Mom Ami was so cozy and beautifully curated. The food was delish! I had the cauliflower schwarma and it was easily one of the best vegan/gluten free dishes I have had in Los Angeles. The mushroom looked so must like beef that I had to double check it was vegan. Absolutely stunning! I also love the mocktails we had. They were placed in beautifully curated glasses that were so fabulous, you forgot they were alcohol free. The service was what really put this restaurant over the top. 12/10, everyone was so incredibly kind and attentive. We felt so well taken care of and welcomed. I highly recommend Mon Ami for date night or a fun night out with a group. There is plenty of space inside and out to where you don't feel squished. There is a super easy parking garage on ocean right next to it making parking super easy. Walk onto ocean from the parking lot, find Red O cantina and keep walking down that alley way alongside Red O to get to Mon Ami at the end.
Stopped here for breakfast while visiting the Pier. Friendly staff, delicious food and drinks. Not cheap, but the ingredients seem to be of high quality. I believe everything was gluten-free and made with almond flour. We were able to order breakfast and lunch items at the same time which was nice. 3 people at our table ordered waffles either just a regular waffle or chicken and waffles and surprisingly they all came out at the same time and all of them were still hot. It is a small location but our party of 6 was sat quickly and our food was delivered timely. Would recommend this place if you want good quality food and service.
Got take out vegan sushi. We tried several rolls and the salad and loved them. Items were labeled gluten free clearly on menu. Great service. Would love to go back and try some other rolls. So many options for vegan.
We had a great experience at Art's Table yesterday afternoon for MLK day brunch. We don't live in the area and were searching for a brunch spot near where we were, and this place came up on the what felt like hidden local gem of the street Montana, which felt like the antithesis to what one might experience on Third Street.
Thanks to Yelp reservations we were seated right away inside, when every other table inside and outside was occupied.
Let's start with the coffee; I've said many times if a brunch/breakfast place doesn't have good coffee it has no business being in business. Art knows what he's doing with his coffee. It's richly dark and bold in taste, with no acidity and served in delightful ceramic owl mugs that are exactly what they seem… It would be worth coming to Art's just to get a cup of coffee.
The only caveat with the coffee is that a cup costs $4. I've seen premium pricing for coffee when they bring you a French Press but this, despite how good it was, seemed pricy for a basic cup of coffee.
There are plenty of gluten-free options on the breakfast menu including Johnny cakes, a cornmeal-based pancake that looked amazing (though we didn't have it.) And the dish my wife and I both got a version of , The veggie eggs, which is served with gluten-free potato pancakes topped with greens delicious portobello mushrooms that are perfectly cooked, and two poached eggs, topped with a wonderfully spiced bernadine sauce. The eggs were poached perfectly. The potato pancakes (and to be fair to all concerned if a restaurant that I've never been to before has potato pancakes on the menu that's all my body will allow me to order) were a little thin for my taste, but speaking of taste, they tasted pretty good albeit a little greasy, but considering the very nature of potato pancakes it's hard to complain about there being oil involved. In our "eye-vesdropping" that we did of other dishes walking by it seems there were other options which had more substantial potatoes and, again, potatoes of any kind will draw me closer to your heart.
The dish was served with a generous salad that was tasty though in terms of volume, but visually overpowered the rest of the dish.
We would definitely come back to Art's Table and try some of the other tantalizing things that we saw walking by (to be clear they were being carried by serving staff and not walking by under their own power.) The only thing which was a slight downer was our super friendly and cool waiter who seemed to really know what he was doing when he took our order and greeted us, but then never spoke to us again until after we finished eating and wanted to know if we were ready for the check. Again he was awfully nice but you kind of expect, or at least hope that a server will check in with you after you've received your food just to make sure that everything was OK. Everything was OK so we would've had nothing to complain about but it would have been nice to have seen him again before it was time to get the check.

One of my parents favorite neighborhood places. Great food and vibe and service. I love the artichoke salad, the grilled chicken, and the gluten free bruschetta. My mom swears by the langustino/shrimp. And free dessert of cookies and chocolate sauce is their friendly signature.
Celiac friendly
