I got their gluten free/vegan brownies. It was literally so delicious I ate it all before I got a photo!

We loved the haute cakes (pancakes) and waffle. I had the gluten free oatmeal and blueberry haute cakes. They were fluffy and delicious. Coffee was excellent too.

Friendly and kind staff. Delicious pastries!! Variety of gluten free vegan options! My mom had mocha and said it was great! Good quality matcha. Definitely recommend this place!

Went here for lunch to check it out prior to booking an event. Very helpful staff in the planning and organization of the event. Great bartending staff in advising of the drink options and custom drinks for the event. The lunch we had was fantastic. Great tasting and gluten free. Rapid service and an amazing atmosphere. The event for 50 people for dinner was great as well. Everything set up as we requested. Food brought out promptly. Signature drink for the event was fantastic. Everything tasted great with lots of options for different dietary needs. Cost was as quoted so no surprises.

It's a little pricey. The service and food is good. Good fresh coffee. Gluten free options. Right on the beach. Parking is tricky as it's in the state park. Parking at the state park is $15. It has a shuttle from the parking lot but it costs $2.

I know this is a pizza place but their chicken nuggets are sooo good tooo! I have friends who love the pizza and one of my friends are gluten free are able to especially enjoy it because they can make a pizza with gluten free crust and he never gotten a bad reaction from it. The people at the cashier are also very friendly and are very knowledgeable about what is good on the menu. Overall great experience!

This place has the best customer service. They are amazing. And their gluten free buns top all!

Nicholas Blackmore

The name did not sound promising and the location is hidden behind the car park of another restaurant - but despite our trepidation, this place turned out to be excellent for dinner. I had an excellent Reuben sandwich and my wife had plenty of gluten free options to choose from. Service was friendly.

Irina Vassilyeva

Love this place! Holiday coffee is amazing! Deviled eggs, gluten free muffin, asparagus and mushrooms omelette are so delicious 😋!!!

Maxwell Walters

Really good food and tasty margaritas, though some of the staff seemed standoffish, especially when asking menu questions, i.e. Celiac-related dietary restrictions.

Gaby Vucurevic

Good food, service is good. Great gluten free options. Will definitely come back!

Brian Center

Good food, but maybe a little pricy compared to to other kabob options. Really easy to eat gluten free here. 😁

Zinc Cafe & Market in Corona Del Mar is a hidden gem that offers a unique and unforgettable brunch experience. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food make it a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike. The cafe features an outdoor patio and the interior has a charming decor and a warm ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The menu is filled with fresh, healthy, and flavorful options that cater to all dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free options. The coffee is also exceptional, making it a perfect spot for a morning pick-me-up. Mimosas are my friends favorite. The market, located adjacent to the cafe, is a delightful place to browse through a carefully curated selection of gourmet food, artisanal cheeses, and specialty items. The staff are knowledgeable and always ready to help you find that perfect item. What I appreciate the most about Zinc Cafe & Market is the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the experience, from the thoughtful presentation of the food to the beautiful decor. It's evident that the owners have a passion for creating a unique and memorable experience for their customers. Overall, I highly recommend Zinc Cafe & Market to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. The food, atmosphere, and service are top-notch, and the market is an added bonus that makes it a destination worth visiting again and again.

Rose Jannuzzi

The best service and food in Newport. If you want an experience Pelican Hill is the place. Today I had the lobster roll lettuce wrapped it was insanely good (I am celiac allergic to gluten). Even better I love a bit of cream in my espresso martini and here is a shot of it. Pelican Hill never disappoints 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Vanessa D

A little bit pricey compared to some chain breakfast spots, but portions are extremely generous. The food is all made fresh and well worth the price, as most breakfasts include a side and toast along with a generous entree. My husband was excited that they give you the option of a biscuit with gravy as your toast, while I was glad to be able to choose corn tortillas as my toast in order to avoid gluten. Service was fantastic and the environment is very welcoming and relaxed. Side note - while the menu still shows that bottomless mimosas are an option at certain times, we were informed that they are no longer able to serve bottomless due to insurance. They were able to do a bottle of champagne with sides of juice instead.

**Superb Dining Experience with a Minor Gluten-Free Shortcoming** A+O Restaurant | Bar provided me with an outstanding dining experience that showcased remarkable service, delectable food, and an exceptionally pet-friendly attitude. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this establishment truly values its patrons and their four-legged friends. The service was beyond exceptional - the staff's attention to detail and genuine warmth made me feel right at home. One gesture that particularly impressed me was their consideration for my furry companion. They didn't just welcome dogs, they went the extra mile by ensuring a fresh water dish was always available, enhancing the overall experience for both me and my pet. The highlight of the culinary journey was undoubtedly their recommended burger, which I found to be incredibly flavorful, even without the bun due to my gluten allergy. It's commendable that they cater to dietary restrictions, and the fact that I could enjoy a delicious meal while staying gluten-free was a major plus. Admittedly, some items on the menu were on the pricier side, but the quality of the food largely justified the cost. While my overall experience was exceptional, there was one minor drawback that prevented me from awarding a perfect rating. A+O Restaurant | Bar, unfortunately, lacks a variety of gluten-free options beyond salads. This limitation was a bit disappointing, especially given the effort they put into accommodating guests with allergies. Adding more diverse gluten-free choices to the menu would undoubtedly elevate the dining experience even further. In conclusion, A+O Restaurant | Bar is a standout establishment that combines impeccable service, fantastic pet-friendly features, and delectable food. My experience was near-perfect, and I'm particularly appreciative of their effort to cater to my gluten allergy. Though I'm docking one star due to the limited gluten-free options, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

I loved their Mediterranean salad! I added chicken and took off olives and feta cheese because I'm not eating dairy at the moment. The service was great and the cashier was able to check if a separate topping was gluten free. It was my first time there & I was impressed with how clean and nice it was!

The Lovely Lyss

Love this little shop!!! It's walking distance from where I'm staying so I've been going by to get coffee every morning. I'm also a designer so I really appreciate their branding & design. I bought a mug cause it's just so fun of a design. Their coffee is delicious. I had just a hot brewed black coffee and then also a hot lavender almond milk latte. Both were very good! I also appreciate that they have Gluten Free Snacks, sometimes that can be hard to find, so when I saw these cookies I was excited. The Impossible Cookie is incredible for anyone with allergies!!!! This is the perfect little shop for anyone staying nearby or going to the beach and you need a pick-me-up.

Zachary Zeiler

It's a dream come true. Breakfast any time of day and done to perfection. Tasty options and great portions. Gluten free needs, no problem!

Lana M.S

What an amazing find!! The staff was so nice & the food is excellent! We ordered the Wild & wet chili dog (beef hotdog) and captain’s 911 kraut without the bun for gluten free allergy, delicious!!! Multiple gluten free options available. Muffins and pies and everything looks amazing! You sit and eat and people watch, cool little restaurant and we definitely can’t wait to visit again soon!

S Eagleton

Delicious coffee and they had a gluten free muffin that was pretty amazing!

Sarah Bernadette

Great spot. Got the macadamia nut milk in my cappuccino! (Gluten-free milk option for Celiacs like myself)

Melissa Beulin

Good food. Easy to eat gluten and dairy free here. Be careful if you order a hot coffee not to burn your tongue/throat on it... Ours was finally drinkable when it was time to go. It was good though!

Jenae Reidy

The food was delicious! I had chips and guacamole, then carne asada street tacos with a side of beans. They have gluten-free items clearly marked on the menu. The wait staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We brought our golden retriever. They treated her very well! Will definitely return again!

I called in advance to make sure restaurant could accommodate gluten allergy and I was assured most menu items could be modified since they were made to order. I was also told that the waitstaff knew the menu and could advise on gluten allergies. That was the furthest from the truth. This was a birthday celebration. 3 items were prepared and served with gluten mixed in the meal . My medium burger came out with a texture that was so well done it looked and tasted like burnt meat. My son never received his meal replacement until we were ready to leave. All of this poor experience which ruined our celebration and they picked up 2 ice teas. This was not at all what we expected. They do not pay attention to what is being served or the details. My dad ordered the mussels and shrimp, the medium tuna steak looked like a well done swordfish. My husband likes flank steak and he said it was alright. Overall poor cooking quality.. update my son’s meal was packed to go and there was a piece of metal in the burger. Wow that takes careless to a whole new level.

Maridian Underhill

Really cool place has a ton of healthy options and gluten free options. Really yummy banana bread.

Tori Petersen

We loved it here! They swap out any sandwich with gluten free bread. Most GF bread I've tried at other places falls apart, but this one was great! Super yummy

Deanne M. Bridenstine

This was my first time eating at Cucina Enoteca. The atmosphere has a whimsical vibe and the food was delicious. My colleague is gluten free and was easily accommodated with options from the standard menu. I chose the date, bacon, arugula pizza - it's a fabulous combination of flavors that probably wouldn't have thought to put together. It was a great experience and definitely worth visiting again.

Brian Skibby

Great lunches, we love turkey and crispy chicken sandwiches, amazing gluten free bread.

Catherine Donna

Fresh ingredients and accommodate a variety of diets, Keto & gluten free, which I'm not on. I have been here several times after hiking in the area. The oatmeal is pretty good. Just had poached eggs on toast with prosciutto on my last visit and it was delicious.
