This food is incredible, especially if you are vegan and celiac (a near-impossible combo to find options for in this area!). To top it off, it’s affordable. Thanks for providing delicious, healthy food on a budget. Can’t wait to come back.

Wow, really impressed. Delicious pizza (I will be thinking about that spicy calabrese honey pizza for a long time) with good gluten free options (including GF crust). Really nice interior as well.

A place that I come to meet friends and clients because Bay Watch has an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. There is something for everyone's taste, including vegetarians, weight watchers and gluten-free. I usually order breakfast or brunch. Today I had my usual, the Breakfast Scramble: scrambled eggs with ham, spinach and melted cheese served on top of a croissant with crispy hash browns and a petit cup of fresh fruit (no Hollandaise - my way of eating healthier) and a glass of water. My friend ordered her usual - Santa Fe Salad. Service is friendly and prompt. Food is tasty. Portions are great for the price. They have both booth and table seating. Weekends can get busy, you will have to wait for a table. Metered street parking.

A nice breakfast/brunch place! Went on a sunday and the waiters were kind and the food was good! I'm gluten free and they were knowledgeable about my allergy which was nice and offered me corn tortillas instead of bread with my breakfast. A solid, yummy experience overall!
