Delicious donuts! Love that they have gluten free options. It’s usually only one donut to choose from but it’s delish! I will say GF beware. There is so much cross contamination, usage of the same tongs, and just how close they all are. I haven’t had issues thus far but it’s definitely not certified GF.

Parakeet Café at One Paseo is one of my favorite spots for breakfast and brunch. The ambiance is cozy and stylish, with its charming wallpaper and inviting vibe. My go-to is the salmon and eggs (I always ask for poached eggs in this dish) —healthy, balanced, and filling. When I was gluten-free, I loved substituting the toast in that dish with a charcoal waffle, which was also pretty good. Their gluten-free, no-refined-sugar cookies are a must-try—you’d never guess they’re sugar-free! While some dishes haven’t stood out as much, the lattes and other drinks are consistently amazing. A perfect spot for a delicious and healthy meal. Also, I’ve often bumped into friends here, making it feel even more special.

Excellent healthy food and service. When I told them that my daughter has a wheat allergy, the employee brought over her manager, they changed gloves, and they went over all of the ingredients of her bowl for safety. Her bowl was wheat/gluten free and delicious. Most of their menu is gluten free, and we greatly appreciated the extra precautions they took to accommodate us. Every family member ordered something different and each of the bowls was very tasty. Will be back soon!

Jimbo’s has the freshest produce, and the best tasting orange juice anywhere. It’s always a pleasant shopping trip, and I can usually find everything I want with ease. I love the GF tiramisu, it’s not a typical grainy gluten free deli dessert, it’s quality!
