Great gluten free options with a well labeled menu. Our Waiter said everything that goes in the fryer is gluten free (fried chicken, potatos, fries, etc) Good prices too

Celiac friendly! Gluten free pancakes, French toast and other great food choices. Fresh squeezed juices and excellent coffee. Honey is available. One of the best breakfast places in America! The ambiance was so much fun and inviting. Service was slow to start but then once ordere, the amazing food came out quickly. This is a must!!

Gluten free options. Small quaint restaurant with very good food. I would double check with when ordering if food items are indeed Gluten Free. We ordered the pancakes understanding they were GF free but not sure if they actually were and we failed to ask thoroughly. Outside of that issue this was a wonderful breakfast place.

What a Find. Four people, four different breakfasts turned out to be four delicious meals. I must eat gluten free and didn't expect there'd be much for me other than eggs. Surprise, surprise, not only did I find their massive sized gluten free pancakes delicious, my gluten eating family members all agreed. Our server Nancy was super friendly and attentative and the rest of the staff acted like we were old friends. The next time we're in the area we know where we'll go. Do yourself a favor and don't miss the Broken Yolk Cafe.

We stopped in here because it was nearby, but I realized they have vegan, dairy free, and gluten free options. This would be perfect for family/friends coming from out of town and ensure everyone can get something to eat. Grab bowls, take them to the beach or bay, and enjoy the weather. I’d love to see a location near the South Bay.

Great fresh food with servings that you will not walk away hungry. My wife and I took my siblings, neice and a nephew there for dinner. After eating there once before, while staying at Campland on the Bay. They were all were quite satisfied , even my sister who eats gluten-free only. Out of the 9 not one complaint. We had tried the bowls, sandwich, two bbq pork fries which we all shared , soup and spring rolls. All were yummy and great prices! Most prices under$15 and under. I do not recall any being over $20. Also the staff had great patience ( lol some people can't make up their minds) and were quick serving the food. We all had a time to remeber with delicious food.

We stopped in for lunch the day before Thanksgiving and the food and service were outstanding even though they were also dealing with large takeout orders. The crepe florentine (we ordered without meat) was delicious with a lemony hollandaise. The burger, while a simple choice, was juicy and very tasty. Then we got way too many goods to take back from the bakery and a few baguettes. We’ve only sampled a few so far but top notch! Gluten Free - the macaron, carrot cake, crĆØme brĆ»lĆ©e, and spring basket are all Gluten Free (as of now, check when you go)!

Randomly stopped by here to pick up a couple of coffees. The lady who helped me (and my son a little later) was wonderful. We picked up a gluten free vegan blueberry muffin and gluten free cheese rolls. They were excellent. Coffee was great too.

Consistently solid. Healthy food, lots of options. Usually good service. Acai bowl is Brazilian approved šŸ˜‚ Celiacs or GF folks do need to be a little careful here, but the servers tend to know what's what.

I don’t know how they do it, but I’ve been to every single aƧai place in town and this is the ONLY spot with the right consistency. Plus she builds it with such intention and the portion size is just right. PLUS they have gluten free granola. BONUS! Def worth every penny ā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļø

If you are in wanting an absolutely delicious burger.. make your way to PB San Diego! Overflowing with flavor. Spurgeon is my favorite . The spice and sauces is unbeatable! We got truffle fries last night and came back again today - tried the onion rings. Both are amazing! Gluten free bun for me- fantastic šŸ‘šŸ»

This is an amazing shop right on the boardwalk. We came here a few times while vacationing. My mother is gluten-free, and they even had some sweet treats/ donuts that she enjoyed. They dip their cones and quite a few flavors. The staff were super nice despite always being busy, which can be exhausting. Staff always had a smile and worked quickly for such a small place.
