Our awesome experience started with a phone call from Imani. She was following up about a request I made on Open Table for a quiet spot because I’m highly sensitive. She was so understanding and kind. When we arrived, we had a great place on the patio. The food met all expectations and the N/A cocktails were sophisticated. There were lots of gluten free options with a GF vanilla cheesecake to die for. The service was impeccable. The restaurant is located in a great neighborhood and we walked off the wonderful dinner we had. Please support this all vegan establishment and their wonderful, attentive staff!

Love the tastes of their pizzas! They really know how to make delicious sauces with select toppings! I go for gluten free pizza, where the crust is crunchy and the pizza is caftily baked every time. I like to sit at the bar for the atmosphere, and the bartend is friendly, prompt, polite, and can make for a good chat.

Amazing gluten free Detroit style pizza! Honestly it’s my favorite gluten free pizza, beating out Tony’s Pizza napoletana. I always go for the big Von and have even purchased my own Mikes Hot Honey bottle from Sprouts to always have unlimited hot honey when devouring this delicious za. Staff is very friendly and has done a great job to reduce any chances of cross contamination. I have celiac disease so I’m very sensitive to any traces of gluten and haven’t had any issues. I just wish they had a SPG’s with gluten free option in San Jose so I could have this pizza more regularly. Great Pizza!

Came here for the first time today and was totally impressed by the quality of food and service. Finding tasty gluten-free bites can be challenging, but this spot is 10/10. Definitely recommend!

Mel

delicious flavors! vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free items and restrictions are all marked. modifications can also be made.

Pranil Patel

Good gluten free crust

Randall Cook

Delicious Ethiopian food, one of the best in the area. This is our go-to for special occasions. We always get the big combo platter, which has a bit of everything, and it's all so tasty! They have teff-based injera bread available, which is great if you are gluten free. Service can be a little slow, and it's always on the cold side, even indoors, but the food is worth it.

Jesse Nichols

Great ramen broth, generous meat portions, excellent gluten free noodles! Also fantastic cocktails.

Timothy Ng

Great gluten-free options that don’t sacrifice flavor. Everything was fresh and food cooked with wok was nicely charred. Soup was flavorful. Service was attentive. Definitely will be back.

Setu Upadhya

Great sandwiches including a HUGE vegan menu. They have gluten free/vegan bread as an option also for those that prefer it. Order ahead since it might take a bit of time to get the sandwiches made.

Lillian Cartwright

Love this place! & pretty much everything other than the beer is gluten free if you have anyone with celiacs with you

There are gluten free options for people not allergic or celiac. If you are very sensitive don't dine here unless you are content with salad. The staff was five stars for transparency, and not sending me home with six weeks of agony. Really appreciate it.

I’m still dreaming of the gluten free fudge brownie I got here like 2 months ago. The service was top notch and they are incredibly talented and thoughtful and offer a range of gluten free goodies. Highly recommend this place!

M Wang

Yummy and comforting. Great flavors and fantastic gluten-free options.

Tish Bohr

This is my favorite spot for Vietnamese in the Bay Area! They have so many gluten-free options and also a lot of authentic dishes that are some of my favs but are typically really hard to find outside of Vietnam, especially as gluten-free. Vermicelli rice bowl, Bánh Khọt, Bánh cuốn, Bánh Xeo and shrimp dumplings are must try’s!

Reliable staple in my life. Fontell is a great host and member of the team. Such a great place for gluten free fries, gluten free wings, gluten free pizza, vegan Buffalo sauce is a must!

I’ve gotten cross-contaminated at Crepevine. Please be careful!

Phoebe Urakov

Absolutely delightful shop. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not only do they have a fantastic selection of traditional and unique flavors, they have special flavors that are dairy free and gluten free. They also have gluten free cones available. The wall menu was clearly marked with allergen content. I enjoyed a cone with lavender lemon flavor ice cream that was delicious. A sure win for people with dietary restrictions. I will definitely be returning and recommending to my friends.

I ordered and picked up the triple protein option catering for 10 people from this location using the Chipotle app. It was ready and well organized at pickup, with 2 proper boxes containing everything - food, utensils, bowls and napkins. They even included serving utensils. The boxes and utensils are nice, and still in use months later! I earned hella points in the app!! The food was exactly as ordered and the usual excellent quality expected of Chipotle. The chips and tortillas may have gluten, but the other food definitely does not, as I'm quite gluten-sensitive. My vegetarian friend really enjoyed the veggie protein option, as did most of us. Chipotle isn't low cost food, but this was worth every penny and more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***** but remember you MUST order 24 HOURS in advance because they seem to prep catering in the early morning. USE THE APP and get points - I've had so much free stuff, and they send lots of other offers.

To start, give "The Truth Behind Jo’s Modern Thai Reddit" a quick search. Here's our experience: Our waiter forgot to sub out the noodles in the Drunken Noodles for the gluten free option. My wife discussed this with him very clearly. This is a very routine beginning of the meal as my wife is deathly allergic to gluten. I think you can see where this is going... The noodles arrived, we ate them. They were fine. And then you remember they were $27. Ouch. The waiter, who was hard to flag down to order, and then later to get the check, was oddly chatty with us as we were gathering our things. All of this made sense 15 minutes later when my wife starting to get very sick. We looked at the photos online and realized he forgot to sub the noodles. We called when they re-opened and my wife was completely gaslit. "I need to talk to the waiter before I refund anything". "He says you never discussed your allergy". "I can only refund the noodles, not the Massaman Curry". "We can't refund the tip". My wife was sick for two weeks. She threw up, she lay in bed for 24 hours. We 100% would have forgiven everything had they just owned up to the mistake!! Who cares about $70!! That wasn't even the point. This place is silly. The vibes stink, the service is distant and and incompetent (your one job is to not poison the guests, right?). The prices are cuckoo. ($6 for a Topo Chico) The food in fine. We can do better. As this poor country is getting kneecapped by psychopaths and grifters, you search out sane, empathetic communities who are trying to take care of each other. Unfortunately, this place is extractive and predatory. AVOID.

Don’t misunderstand, the food is delicious. However, I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, and it pains me to be limited to much narrower options of where to eat. The falafel on uber eats is very prominently labeled Gluten Free but it comes served on top of non-GF pita bread, which could cause a severe reaction in those who are celiac. I don’t wish ill on this business, their food is delicious, but the uber eats app doesn’t even have the option to ask for them to remove the pita bread from the order. I just wish there was more transparency on the gluten quality of the food

Not pleased with the French Toast at all. It was below average and the custard seemed extremely light. The bread seemed barely toasted. The banana was not fresh or near fresh. It's difficult to believe this meal was passed off to someone. I should have ordered the the gluten free french toast instead; it's typically consistent. Oakland's restaurant industry has become weaker and weaker while the food prices become more expensive; it's so sad and disheartening.

Victoria Quistgaard

Safe for food allergies! I have celiac, and this place hasn’t made me sick ever! Fresh ingredients all the time! Always delicious!
