I love Sweetfin! I have celiac so it is such a pleasure to eat at a restaurant where I do not have to worry. Our meal on Sunday was perfect! That being said, this particular location is hit-or-miss on getting the order correct. The Culver City location is my favorite - the manager and the whole team go out of their way to make your meal perfect. The SM is just closer to us.

Tocaya Organica is such a special weekly tradition! Their tacos are healthy and hearty. And a great value on Tuesday ranging from $2.50-$4.00. Lots of options for every dietary need. They have a ton of gluten-free options, including the delicious churro waffles. Thank you to Juliet for always making our family feel so welcome! Pro Tips: - Request your receipt as there are sometimes food errors…give them grace as Tuesday’s are busy! - Prepare to wait a bit for your meal to arrive - Parking can be tough in the area, so plan ahead

The absolute best gluten free fried chicken I’ve ever had! Great approachable vibe and the essence of “west coast comfort food”.

Awesome neighborhood restaurant. Love their gluten free pizza. Nice touch to have outdoor heat lamps.

Honestly, I don’t think I saw this place at its full potential, but I will give you an overview of my personal experience. Hopefully you can find It useful. Food: I stumbled upon Bru’s Wiffle while looking for a restaurant with French toast. This place has a number of French toast options. I chose the Honey Poppers French Toast. These are bite-size crispy chicken in housemade siracha & louisiana hot sauce. I wasn’t impressed. The French Toast was thin and flimsy. It tasted like It was made on sandwich bread. I should’ve known better than to get chicken poppers. I asked for a of chicken thigh. It was juicy and crunchy. Had I known better, I would’ve chosen this chicken option to begin with. Next, I ordered an avocado toast topped with eggs. The melted cheese is a great addition to this dish. However, I prefer sliced avocado rather than the avocado spread. My partner had the Basil Pesto Crispy Polenta Avocado Toast with egg. This is a gluten free meal. The egg is an add on to both Avocado toast options. Beverage: This place has a Watermelon Mimosa that I’ve been trying to imitate for the last four days. It was sweet and fruity. Payment: Bru’s Wiffle doesn’t accept American Express. As an Amex Gold Member, one of the benefits of the card is the 4X points at restaurants. If this was a quick order to go, I wouldn’t mind. But, on an $150 bill, knowing this sooner would’ve probably impacted my choice to visit. Overall, I think that this restaurant had some options would be pretty tasteful. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to try them during this visit.

This is a long time favorite of mine .. their Spanish latte... Sooooo good .. especially the strong version... Their food is ok... They run out of healthier options pretty early, even at 9.30am, such as breakfast burrito gluten free tortillas... So go there early if you need or prefer certain options...

Absolutely top notch pizza! Had to order gluten-free pizza because of my daughter, but Vito’s gluten-free was as good as their regular.

Great service. I have come several times and the staff have helped me choose a gluten free item. The breakfast is good and this time I had a more traditional meal and it was flavorful too. They have vegan and gluten free options.

Gunn is an amazing, thoughtful, and creative chef! I rarely write reviews, but Satdha is absolutely my #1 favorite restaurant in LA, and this place is a must try, especially for vegetarians and gluten free folks. The endive cups, snap pea salad, and beet-dyed noodles are my absolute favorites, though I honestly love all the dishes. They're all so unique, bursting with freshness and vibrant flavors. The names of the dishes may not sound sexy, but I promise you, the taste is truly delightful. Each bite feels like a little celebration, a joyful experience. I just adore and appreciate this restaurant and all the people involved.

Not safe for celiacs despite claims of “gluten free”

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!

My daughter and I stopped by this place while we were killing time before the Barbie movie began, so we decided this was the spot to sit down and eat dinner. Good decision as the quesadilla and the tacos were really good. I ordered the gluten-free quesadilla and I wish I could have brought the tortilla shell that he used home because that was the best taco shell ever. And I mean ever. Better than gluten, even! The customer service was great, and I don't even know how he did it by himself with all those people in there, but he somehow remained attentive to our table as well. My only complaint is that I wish they weren't so shy with the seasonings, but at least we had the two choices of sauces to fill in the gaps.

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!

Ordered a KBBQ Steak Bowl and added mushrooms on UberEats for pickup. Didn't open the bowl until I got home and saw that they added mushrooms, but there was no steak. Scoured the entire bowl for any hint of steak but there was none :( The rest of the bowl was okay, but some protein would've been nice to tie it together. It's nice that a majority of the menu is gluten-free.
