Lots of gluten free options. This time they even made the gf mushroom and spinach pizza that is not in menu! Turkey burger is always a win!

Favorite place in the South Bay: they source local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients and are offering very inclusive options for those who are plant based and gluten free. The taste of the curry that I had was amazing, flavorful, and creamy, the rice was cooked to perfection. Sitting outside next to the heaters is sweet, just wasn’t a fan of the loud music but all else is 5 stars! Oh and another highlight is that they just use a I ado and olive oil, no unhealthy seed oils.

A solid choice for breakfast or lunch. Their breakfast dishes are good, but I recommend trying their arepas and chais (there are a few different options). GF-friendly, for folks who are gluten sensitive.

The food is absolutely delicious! My husband and I have been here five times and the food is always incredibly consistent and high quality. The scrambles and omelets are really tasty and can be made dairy free for those with food allergies. The benedicts are super yummy too, not too heavy with a really crispy english muffin on the bottom. The hash browns are super thin and crispy (plus they are gluten free). They have outdoor seating which easily accommodates a full stroller for the little ones. The service is incredible and everyone is very friendly. This is our go to breakfast place for the Bay Area and they also deliver via Door Dash.

A post-Dish hike Palo Alto staple. Love the gluten free granola and thick consistency of the açaí bowl. We go for the gorilla and the trailblazer.

So lovely!! The portions are large! And the owner is so attentive and kind. They are super accommodating too. Nick, the owner made the avocado toast gluten free for me. GF toasts are usually smaller, so instead of just one toast, he put the toppings on two pieces of toasts (which is equivalent to the size of a normal toast…which is LARGE). Like I said, the portions are generous. Highly recommend!!!! Will def be back.

Milkshakes. You really don't need to get anything else. I love the chocolate milkshake with added banana or the coffee-flavored one. They are mostly gluten-free, I think. Oh the strawberry one is excellent, too. You can buy little bags of tokens as a gift for friends that are fans of the milkshakes. I wish I was still running so that I could have one every week.
