Visiting Monterey for the weekend and was looking for a gluten-free cafe to grab some lunch. Ended up at Nece's GF and YUM! The ancient grain bread I chose for my sandwich was superb, the snickerdoodle cookie was just the right amount of sweet, and my dog got all the love while we were sitting outside on the patio. Definitely will return next time I'm in town. :)

The staff was extremely helpful; pulled out the ingredients list to verify my allergies. Delicious AND gluten free. You have to get the flight if you are dairy and gluten free; they had four flavors I could choose from, 4!!! So the flight it was and my husband got the waffle cone because we could have that too. Must get flavor….Bee’s Knees, top 3 ice cream flavors I have ever had. This will be a repeat everytime we come to Monterey

The crepes are great, I am pretty sure all of them can be made gluten free. You do have to pay a bit more, but I think it is worth it.

As a healthy-foodie type who is also gluten sensitive, this place was a fabulous find! All organic with amazing natural choices, for both vegetarian and paleo, and obviously, cautious about food allergy prep! Staff was beyond friendly and food was delicious! We will def make this a go-to spot when in town!

Best vegan/gluten free burrito I've ever had, ate it on the beach at sunset and it was a 10/10 experience.

Great portions and tasty bowls! 🍲 We grabbed lunch to go on the way out of town and gobbled it up! Recommend the California Bowl or the Ahi Da’Kahine Bowl! Perfect for my gluten free, dairy free friends!

We hadn't been here for a while and we were delighted to stop by recently and order a bunch of delicious sandwiches at 3 Mundo's on North Fremont. The super high quality bread and creative fresh ingredients make their sandwiches exceptional we believe! So far, we enjoyed the Mundos Tri-Tip, Tuna, Pastrami and the amazing Philly Chees Sandwiches. We really appreciate that we could order many choices of Vegan and Vegetarian sandwiches, too and loved the Vegan Crispy Chick n Milanese and Vegan Cubana Chicken. The Chicken Quesadilla was great, as well. We were able to reheat them the toaster a few days later and they were still amazing! They have a variety of potato chips including our favorite Kettle Brand, plus cookies and a great gluten-free vegan Cheesecake and Chocolate Lava Cake. We also love using the new 3 Mundo's app - so convenient. The renovated interior looks great too. We're looking forward to bringing their great sandwiches along for picnics on sunny days!
