The recommendation by friend did not fail! A wonderful cozy and quiet place with everything vegetarian and so many vegan and gluten free choices. We tried the onion rings and the mushrooms. The tamale pie and the pizza. It was all delicious.

My favorite go-to for years. As a kid and a teen we were always at the Bagel Bakery and I thought for sure when the Bagel Kitchen took over I would follow the Bagel Bakery.....until I went gluten free and found the Bagel bakery didnt have GF bagels....and were actually quite rude about it. The Bagel Kitchen embodies the original Bagel Bakery for sure. Kind, friendly staff who remember you, are SO friendly and dont just throw stuff on your bagel....you can tell they make it how they would want to eat it. Its almost my comfort food now.

Very generous portion. I took the egg Benedict and they were delicious. They also have gluten free bread. The servers are very nice and helpful. Parking was quite easy to find on a Friday.

We ended up at il vecchio after the wait at first awakenings was too long, and I’m so glad we ended up here instead! Very cozy and unique vibe, and the food was GREAT. I was especially impressed by the gluten free pancake - you won’t be able to tell the difference. Order it with fresh blueberries :) I got the eggs Benedict with ham - the hollandaise sauce was really good and it came with TONS of ham Highly recommend!

Cute spot. Gluten Free bread allows your to switch stuff in and out, but certainly not a great place for any serious gluten allergies. Super yummy, extra spicy chai! Staff were rushed and didn't seen confident and knowledgable when asked about the menu. Really cute interior, homestyle vibe.

Pizza was really not great at all. We got a gluten free margarita and it was so charred that it crumbled like charcoal in places. Flavorless. The other pizza ordered was on their specialty list that came with onions mushrooms pepperoni and there were such a ridiculous amount of toppings on it the dough was completely raw. Service was good.

A lovely addition to Pacific Grove! Red House is our usual favorite, but we decided to mix things up and we were so glad we did! Such a cute location - loved the tie ins to honor the Winston Hotel throughout the decor. Delicious food and was thrilled to learn they had gluten free bread available! I can imagine this place is packed on weekends, but we were in and out with great service on a weekday!

Un pedacito de mi querido Paraguay en Pacific Grove, California. I was lucky enough to discover a beautiful and charming gastronomic cafe while I was traveling in California. From the moment I was greeted “mba'éichapa” and entered to the cafe, the atmosphere conveyed warmth and authenticity, with details that evoked Paraguayan culture and attention that made me feel at home. Just remembering gives me chills. Cafe Guarani is certainly one of those places that cannot be missed when visiting Monterey. Located in the heart of Pacific Grove, California. Cafe Guarani offers a charming oasis of peace thanks to the indoor and outdoor seats. Beautiful place with an incredible garden-patio, full of plants, flowers, trees, they even have a Paraguayan hamaca, very relaxing atmosphere! The decor has a nostalgic vibe, with ñandúti and memorabilia from my country. I felt home, immediately! Liliana the owner and her son Sebastian, were so friendly and welcoming! When we get there the restaurant was closed and after I told them that I’m Paraguayan as well, immediately open the doors for my family and me. The cafe serves delicious Paraguayan dishes and snacks. We ordered the beef milanesa sandwich that comes with fried yuca and alioli sauce, also we had baked beef and vegan empanadas that comes with chimichurri and a gluten free mbejú (Tapioca flour cheese flat bread) with Cocido (smoked Yerba mate) Sooo good!! Everything was very tasty and absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel the real taste of Paraguay in an extremely friendly environment. A place not to be missed! Aguyje Liliana and Sebastian!

Located across from Lovers' Point in Pacific Grove, this cozy place brings so much more than just tasty food to one's dining experience. We were greeted so warmly and seated in area that allowed us to really enjoy the panoramic views of Pacific Grove. The menu of seafood, pastas, salads and wonderful appetizers is a delight to both omnivores and vegan-gluten conscious eaters. As for the ambiance, a bit of color and some plants would really add more charm to this MUST vist place!
