I can’t say enough good things about this place! I have celiacs disease (gluten free) and they go above and beyond to ensure there is no cross contamination. The food is amazing and the service is awesome. We had Hailey as our server and she was kind, sweet, and attentive. We come from Phoenix a few times a year just to eat here. Love it!

Pleasantly surprised by the veggie quiche ! Nice and light, flakey crust, and very tasty. Great selection of low sugar / gluten free options.

Came here 3 times in 5 days on our vacation! I’m very picky with my coffee / espresso and when I tell you this place is amazing, you gotta believe me! The snickerdoodle latte (1/2 sweet) was SO GOOD. I wish I could get one everyday. The iced americanos are also good, very smooth not bitter at all. The gluten free bakery items (we aren’t gluten free but wanted what they had) were amazing!! The atmosphere is great. Service was fast all days, but Saturday was definitely busy. Line out the door but worth the wait! Go walk along mission beach boardwalk with your delicious coffee! Highly recommend !

Oh my gosh! This pizza is fire! Also half my family has a gluten allergy and we have NEVER tasted such a killer GF pizza! Our favorites were the Maui wowie and the Margarita pizza! Also great menu for kids because they have a #1 option with two pieces of pizza (which are large!) and a fountain drink for $10. We loved this pizza so much we went twice while on our 5 day vacay to Mission Beach. They have a perfect patio area with picnic tables that fit my large family (5 kids). Best pizza in the area!

I’m a sucker for a good cinnamon roll, and boy did they deliver. The rest of the kolache that my son didn’t eat wasn’t half bad either. There were even some gluten free treats for my wife. If we’d gotten rolling a little sooner in the day, I’m sure there would have been even more to choose from. The proximity to the beach is great. The outdoor patio was quite pleasant, especially with the chocolate lab peeking at us from next door. Overall, excellent!

We are visiting from British Columbia, Canada for the second year in a row. We loved it in 2023 and again this year. The food is always delicious and it was fun to have lots of new items listed. Accommodates vegan and gluten free. Service is fast. Unlike the rest of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach it is not rundown. Very clean and cozy. Highly recommend.

THIS PLACE WAS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD. we are from mn and came to Cali. I have a gluten allergy and they accommodated with the BEST gluten free pie (they sell medium only). Great food, great vibes :)

I'm not typically one to complain but I had to after eating here. Took forever to get our order in, and longer to get our food. The Tuna was not of very good quality and the rice was undercooked. To top it off, my wife was sick after eating what was supposed to be a gluten-free meal. The cost of everything was way too much considering the quality of the experience. The only saving grace was the view.

Linda Bates

Wonderful outdoor setting with great bay views. The food was excellent and the presentation of the drinks was superior. Gluten free and vegan options available.

NOT gluten-free friendly at all. We called ahead to see if they had gf bread and hamburger buns; they said “yes.” We drove 20 minutes to find out they have NEVER had those things. We had to leave and find another place. The menu was microscopic. Very limited selection of basic items.
