So good!! I am celiac which means I am gluten-free and I must also avoid cross contamination. This restaurant not only served me fries from a dedicated fryer, but I also enjoyed the crispiest, most delicious roasted chicken I have had in a long time. Cashier was knowledgeable about celiac, and they changed their gloves and everything while preparing my meal. Also, good prices compared to other restaurants in the area. Wonderful! Would definitely recommend not just for celiacs but anyone who wants a delicious meal.
I was hesitant to write this review because it's really specific to a really hurtful experience as someone with celiac disease. Honestly if you don't have any dietary restrictions, just ignore this since the food/service otherwise is excellent..
I had eaten here several times before and loved it before this experience which was frankly enough to take it off the list for me and to leave a warning for anyone with celiac or food allergies- I ordered my food and was sitting at the table right next to the open kitchen when one of the cooks loudly complained about the celiac order. We ended up leaving without waiting for the food because it was hurtful and totally uncalled for. Not only that, but the staff denied anything was said (again, I was sitting right next to the man who loudly made the comment)- if it had been addressed, then I wouldn't leave a public review. Options for eating out with celiac are limited, so I'm really bummed to have to cross this one off the list due to an unwelcoming environment.
As usual the food is fresh, healthy and fantastic. If you're looking for gluten free sandwiches, they have the bread. Juices are juiced right in front of you so you know it's fresh.
Gf Pasta is cooked in the same water as regular pasta- it is NOT safe for those with Celiac Disease. We asked the server who doubled checked with the chef. They refused to separate. Do NOT recommend. Why even have Gf pasta. Zero stars if I could for service. The restaurant looks cute if you don’t have dietary restrictions, but if you have any medical issues with food I would avoid.

Our waitress was attentive! Great food, Lots of new opinions since our last visit. Was able to order cauliflower crust and gluten free crust for members in our party! Would return!
Excellent food and service. The waiter was very knowledgeable about allergies and they were able to accommodate gluten sensitivity / Celiac requirements.
Very accommodating to my gluten allergy and made us special rolls tailored to what I could have. Granted they were past their dinner rush but very much appreciated and delicious!
The crepe was super good with lots of flavor! They even had gluten free buckwheat which was really yummy! Staff were kind and helpful. Those big chairs were fun to sit in! 😊
They marked GF on entrées that could be made gluten-free. The server was very knowledgeable about what I could and couldn't have and even checked labels on the Gelato to make sure it was OK. I got the Ahi Tuna and it was everything I had hoped for. The drinks were divine. My family is not GF but they ordered the crab patty burger, crab patty salad, shrimp scampi, the short ribs and the fish burger. The kiddos got the loaded brownie and it was a hit.
I love this little booth at the farmer’s market! I am celiac and their amazing mochi waffles are safe for me to eat!! The texture and flavor of the mochi waffles are perfect. Not too chewy, not too flat, just right!! I love their mac nut and banana topping which is beautifully presented with an edible flower! My dad loves the sourdough waffle with fresh berries. They have a vegan/gf which we have not tried. I really appreciate how friendly and conscientious the staff is. They all take care and exude aloha!!
Was a busy, noisy, happy Mexican restaurant with surprisingly good food. Good menu selection and plenty of gluten free options. Decent Mexican food is hard to find in Hawaii, we will be back.
I can't say enough how great everything I at Cinnamon's. Very friendly service, great plating and food. Although most foods had some gluten component, they were very accommodating and easily adapted the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon to be gluten free. It was the best Benedict I've had in years.
The chef made me an unbelievable eggplant, Parmesan sandwich and a gluten-free parmesan meal. The food was out of this world, and I am a picky New York resident
If you're in Kailua and looking for a breakfast experience that combines the best of local flavors and classic breakfast fare, Moke's Bread & Breakfast should be on your radar. Nestled in the heart of Kailua, this cozy establishment offers a delightful and homely atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the 'ohana (family) as soon as you walk in.
The star attraction here is undoubtedly the lilikoi pancakes—fluffy, buttery pancakes topped with a bright, tangy passionfruit sauce that will make you question why you ever settled for plain old maple syrup. If pancakes aren't your thing, fret not; the menu offers a wide range of choices, from hearty omelettes packed with local ingredients to the satisfying loco moco.
Portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you won't leave hungry. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and it's clear that the kitchen pays attention to detail. Vegetarians and gluten-free diners will also find options here, making it a versatile choice for groups.
Service is another area where Moke's shines. Staff are warm and welcoming, making the experience feel more like a family gathering than a restaurant visit. Even during busy periods, they manage to keep things moving efficiently while maintaining their friendly demeanor.
That being said, the popularity of Moke's can also be a drawback. Wait times, especially on weekends or holidays, can be quite long, so be prepared for that. While the restaurant has done its best to create a cozy atmosphere, the dining space is relatively small, and it can get noisy when full.
Overall, Moke's Bread & Breakfast provides a satisfying and authentically Hawaiian dining experience. Despite the potential for long waits and a crowded dining area, the outstanding food and exceptional service make it a must-visit when you're in Kailua.
Wonderful food, so creative and delicious, using local ingredients!!!. My whole family looks forward to dining here every year on our annual visits to Hawaii. Service is always lovely and gracious, especially with my questions about choices for accomodating my celiac disease.
Wow! This vegan food is absolutely amazing! My MIL had them cater a family event and the food was so good! They made everything gluten free/vegan and it was so flavorful and delicious. Everyone at the party was asking where the vegan food was from. Highly recommend and will definitely be back for more!
I'm celiac and this is my favourite place because they have so many delicious gluten free options! They also always label everything GF on the boxes and its super easy to make GF when ordering online. Highly recommend.
Favorite place on the island for açaí bowls! Great quality, size and options. The granola is gluten free (yay!) and no added sugars to the açaí bowl.
I appreciate being able to bring in my own container to reduce waste. Thank you!
The prices on the menu aren’t accurate, which would be my only heads up. Also parking can be tough. Oh, and the rewards system doesn’t work too well - ate 75 points as I accidentally clicked “redeem” but never got to use them. Oh well.
