many gluten-free options, including gluten-free buns and gluten-free Mac and cheese, in addition to non breaded items like steak and chicken. I highly recommend it

Look I've made it a habit to come here every Sunday morning. There are so many options for vegan and gluten free. They're always friendly and there are great memories. The food is fantastic, I mean really truly you cannot go wrong with anything you order. And of course you can shop for goodies in the grocery attached to it. Definitely get an ice cream sandwich and if it's in season, get the champurrado- it's the best.

Barbara was incredibly and delightfully helpful, recommending exactly what I wanted. I love a counter seat for exactly the kind of interaction I got. She, and this location in general, was great. My only disappointment is with the company's decision to 86 the gluten free English muffins.

Inedible, hard as a rock, vegan gluten free cupcake served on 1/09/25. This thing must have been sitting out for a month. Absolutely disgusting and a waste of my hard earned money. Although the young ladies working were really friendly, they should have never allowed these cupcakes to be sold.

I'm NCGS so I eat gluten free, and I've never had a reaction from eating at this location. I wish they wouldn't continually get rid of my family's menu favorites through the years, but overall, the food is good, the service is efficient, and it's usually clean and well stocked. They have gluten free food items and dessert as well!

I've been here several times, and they make my favorite pizza. I don't really know what they do differently, but I'll miss the food when I'm no longer in the area. I also appreciate that they have an option for vegetarians, vegans, gluten free, halal, and probably other dietary needs. It's good food. I keep bringing new people there, and they also have been favorably impressed.

Great coffee house. I always get the iced mocha, and it's great. Their oatmeal seems steeply priced but it's big and hearty compared to the little cup you tend to get at coffee shops. They also have a vegan banana nut muffin amidst their bakery, and a gluten free flavor as well. They aren't always the biggest fans of filling my reusable water bottle which is a bummer (they have a jug of water out for customers but my bottle would take half of it), but they will do it if asked. Check it out!

Delicious!!! Amazing gluten free muffins and the latte was so good! Inside the cafe is ok not much ambience kind of drab, needs some pics on the wall and some plants /flowers was very plain, needs a freaking up! But the service was fast and friendly. The place was packed so that’s a great sign. I sat outside which was so lovely. I am usually a Starbucks girl but in that area I would choose this over Starbucks. Loved it!

They have some gluten free dishes like the one I ordered to go. I got their Alaskan king salmon. I like salmon a lot but the way this dishes was cooked/marinated just hut different. It was slightly sweet without loosing it's distinct salmon taste slightly crispy outside and soft inside. Absolutely worth tge price and most definitely will order again. The staff were also patient and understanding with my questions and made sure to have the answers accurately. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Pretty good pizza, good selection and prices! You can order by the slice and they have really good lunch deals for spaghetti and lasagna. The salads are so good too if you're gluten-free, never been disappointed. My favorite is their pineapple pizza, I get it every time!! Good ice cream! I had black cherry today. Quick, kind service. I feel like there's always something new on the menu.

Vibrant art surrounds a lively spot with fresh juices; just prepare for uneven paths and tight spaces if you're on wheels.

A trip to Riverside isn't complete without a trip to Tio's Tacos. So many gluten free options available, fresh juices, and art decorates the entire area. This time we coupled it with a trip to the The Cheech. I recommend this place a hundred times over. I would say wheelchair accessability is most likely low. I couldn't imagine navigating the small, narrow bathroom or uneven cobblestone type ground on wheels without assistance. It's not impossible, just difficult.

The food was "ok" for the price, excluding the dessert. Omg! The FLAN!!! Incredible!!! It was a wonderful experience either way, because Omar made our night special by being considerate, kind, and accommodating. I want to be upfront and say that I am really perticular about my meals and have celiacs disease, so it does limit me on what I can eat. Either way, we felt that the steak was undercooked (I personally always order rare steak, so it's odd for me to call steak overcooked) and would've been better if it was seared more... my husband actually got sick from it. The sauce in the shrimp pasta was okay, but the shrimp in the pasta was DELIGHTFUL!! Thanks for a good experience, Omar. The restaurant is lucky to have someone like you representing them.

They have the best service. The employees are friendly, and professional this is one of the few places my son with celiac disease can eat at. They always take extra measures to make sure there is never any cross contamination. Chicken tacos in a hard shell 😋 and the fries are gluten free. The way they are cooked is SAFE. 5 stars all the way.

I went drive thru for brunch. It was not crowded at the time but the staff was set up to keep the line moving. I was pleased to receive my glutenfree cambo with grilled nuggets, fairly quickly. This location has a great and friendly staff. My food was delicious

Food is decent for fast food and since I have to be gluten free and I cannot eat a lot of things, I will not complain. The gentlemen behind the counter was nice and courteous. The atmosphere is not the best due to location and the homeless.
