Drove 40 min to get a gluten-free donut and I was not disappointed! Super moist, delicous, and mouth watering! Service was prompt and friendly, toilets clean! Great place to hang out! They have a ton of donuts to choose from!

So thankful to have a gluten free option. Everything I tried was great!

Our favorite breakfast spot when visiting SLO! Sally Loo’s was recommended from friends that live in the area and we couldn’t have been more glad we came. Hands down they have the best breakfast food we have ever tried, all while being allergy friendly and quick to get the orders out. I don’t think I have ever seen a cafe that has knocked out a line of 30 people so quickly, all while keeping the food quality top notch. My wife is allergic to gluten and eggs, so the restaurants we can go to are limited. Sally Loo’s handles allergy restrictions effectively and efficiently. Every restaurant can learn from them.

Linnea's is my favorite cafe! So many tea options, and the workers are welcoming and nice! The back garden is very relaxing and a great place to study or catch some live music. Many vegan and gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. Tea and coffee loyalty cards can help you save some money if you become a repeat customer (like me)!

My wife has a gluten allergy (Celiac)and must be very careful to prevent cross -contamination. Of course we were looking at the donuts and not at everything the young lady was doing. When she reached in to get the donuts we asked nicely if she had changed her glove. In the snottiest way possible she said, "I just put it on right in front of you! We don't use tongs on the GF donuts!" Well excuse me! The other SLODOCO location we usually frequent DOES. How are we supposed to know the protocol is different in the different locations? Her condescending tone and snotty attitude was absolutely shocking. The atmosphere was strange... Some guy sitting at the counter pigging out on food that had obviously been brought in from somewhere else... Just a weird vibe. Donuts were goid but the attitude of the young lady was atrocious. Good thing my wife was with me or I would have made a scene about her attitude.

Our host, Christopher was so knowledgeable with items on the menu and sensitive to my gluten allergies; double checking on items to make sure they were safe for me to enjoy. He came back to check on us multiple times as did other waiters to refill our water glasses. The Nada Colada mocktail was to die for. Be prepared to eat art as every dish had the appearance of a masterpiece, which I appreciate. I gave 4/5 stars on food as I do feel the flavors could be elevated on some dishes such as the cauliflower soup and coconut pie. We will be back and are delighted that our furr babies can join us out on the patio. Views of creekside made for a fine dining experience.

A cute crepe and panini shop a block away from the main downtown street. The service was good, crepes even better. A lot of gluten free options. We will be back!

My wife was looking for some gluten-free options, and this bakery had a few of them. She ended up having a gluten-free cupcake, which was very delicious. Everyone was very friendly and the shop was very clean and nice and well decorated.

This is not just a restaurant, but an experience. There’s an old-school 1970’s/1980’s Americana vibe, and the food is REALLY good! Had Bennedict and the hollandaise was just ok (probably a mix), but a nice thick slab of ham on gluten free bread and perfectly crispy hash browns and fruit, which tasted very fresh. And of course anyone who stops MUST eat cake there, which is super fluffy and whipped creamy. The pink one is what they’re famous for

I ordered the iced vanilla bean latte here and it was delicious! Not too sweet, very well balanced flavor. Would come here again for the drinks. I originally seeked out this coffee shop in particular because other reviews mentioned gluten free pastries. As a celiac l would like to give feedback from that perspective… There were two gluten-free pastry options. However, they were both on separate plates touching other gluten pastries. If the GF pastries were on the plate together, rather than touching other gluten-containing items, they would be safer to eat for people allergic to gluten. Please consider for the future! (: Anyways, staff was friendly and the atmosphere was good too. Even the fellow patrons were super nice. Good vibes all around.

skip the gluten-free pancakes :( Dry and tasteless gf pancakes, and I know from experience that good gf pancakes are attainable with the right ingredients. They were a nice size, though. Plus, the waitress ignored my request for more syrup and butter, which is a very unusual request coming from me, but something had to be done to those discs! LOL

We just love their baked goods! The families favorites are the cinnamon rolls. I am gluten-intolerant and I am so happy to have found delicious soft, gewy chocolate chip cookies and other! The sizes are perfect for the price you pay, and the products are guaranteed fresh!!!! Even after 3 d those cinnamon rolls are still soft and yummy! The cookies hold up longer anyway! The staff is always friendly, professional and welcoming. I will drive miles to get good items! Thank you for being awesome!

One of our favorite restaurants in SLO. Has enough gluten free options and the staff is kind enough to accommodate gluten free requests every time. The cook understands no cross contamination and was willing to cook my food in a separate skillet. Just a down home place with good food every time!
