Forget that this place is gluten free goods. It's one of, if not the best bakery in the area. Even if you aren't gluten free, you should eat here anyway because you won't know any difference.
An adorable spot with a cozy vibe, known for its fluffy pancakes and generous portions, offering a tasty farm-to-table experience.

As a healthy-foodie type who is also gluten sensitive, this place was a fabulous find! All organic with amazing natural choices, for both vegetarian and paleo, and obviously, cautious about food allergy prep! Staff was beyond friendly and food was delicious! We will def make this a go-to spot when in town!
Enjoy a cozy garden vibe with delicious vegan options, refreshing mocktails, and a lovely outdoor dining area perfect for evenings.

I used to really love this place. I have celiac disease, and almost all of their items are gluten free. They’ve always been pretty willing to accommodate me, and I considered this one of my staple spots. Unfortunately, after many times eating there successfully, I was glutened and got super sick. When I tried to discuss this with them, they showed very little compassion and basically hung up on me. So disappointing.
With a funky vibe featuring 60's albums and live music, this spot offers huge portions and a unique atmosphere that's perfect for casual hangouts.

What a gluten free find. The waitress/cook/?owner knows gluten free and we had a delicious meal. I had their homemade smoked turkey lentil soup. My boyfriend had their smoked Tri-tip with grilled veggies and finished with bananas foster. So delicious that I ate to much. Love the unique funky atmosphere of 60’s albums on the wall. I would love to attend when they have live music but alas we are only here for a couple of days. However will return tomorrow for some of the other gluten free items on their menu like borscht.
With countless topping choices and a reputation for amazing pizzas, this spot is a must-visit for pizza lovers seeking delicious perfection.

Excellent! Chocolate chip cookies are perfect. We had a pepperoni pizza and a gluten free pizza. Both were very good. So many topping options. Definitely recommend!
A spot with stunning views and an upbeat atmosphere, where birds entertain and the service is top-notch.

Not only is this place gorgeous, the waiter Joseph was so kind we came back 2 other times after. Joseph answered all our questions, greeted us with a kind and wonderful attitude, and was all smiles. I can say the service here? Gorgeous. The food here? Delicious. The atmosphere here? Upbeat. The view? Breathtaking. This is one of my favorite restaurants ever! And if you’re #glutenintolerant they’ve got you. The birds are also the entertainers. When you tip, they get part of it too ;)
Enjoy a variety of delicious options in a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for pleasing even the pickiest eaters in your group.

The all you can section’s food selections was so delicious, the waiters so helpful and so friendly.My wife on a speciel diet no milk, and gluten free stuff, so they served extra sides for her, without extra cost!!
With stunning views and a perfect setup for gatherings, this spot shines for special occasions and remarkable planning support.

I hosted a birthday lunch for 25 friends on April 30th and Lalla's couldn't have been more perfect. The staff was incredible both in advance planning and on the day. I was so appreciative of Lalla's for helping my friend with Celiac feel comfortable with her dietary needs. The space and views are lovely. Thanks!
Vegan options are clearly marked here, and while the ambiance leans casual, the creative dishes offer a tasty experience worth returning for.

It's always a hopeful sign when vegan (V) and gluten free (GF) are clearly identified. That's the reason I chose Jacks at the Portola Hotel in Old Monterey. There were more than one item I can order. We selected a salad, The Sesame Ginger Bowl without the hoisin sauce, a side of fried tofu for protein, and the Turkey Pot Pie. Both items were delicious. The server forgot about the fried tofu, but when it finally came, it was oil soaked and not very enjoyable. The salad was enjoyable. The Turkey Pot Pie came with a spoon because it was kind of soupy inside, but enough turkey and very delicious. The hotel interior was nicely designed by the ambience at our table was not as nice because it felt like a low end sports bar. If we came back to Monterey or Pacific Grove again, we would definitely dine here.
Experience stunning ocean views paired with innovative, expertly crafted seafood dishes that create a memorable dining adventure.

How this is not a Michelin 2 star restaurant is beyond me...
From the moment you walk into the coastal kitchen you get a sense of ease with the ocean the real ocean as your background you know you're in for something very special.
Complimented with some of the most fresh seafood I've ever had in my life while looking at the ocean is a very surreal experience and to make it better when the host comes and brings you a pair of binoculars so you really feel incapulated in the whole experience of the ocean in Monterey.
Starting off with 4 small bites some of the most memorable bites I'll ever eat in my life and never forget.
Then begins the actual dinner 5 courses Some of the most creative and delicious food I've ever had definitely not stuffy just well done and perfectly cooked.
I also added the fresh pasta course because it sounded so great and they did not skim at all on the Truffles.
The dessert was a play on toast and jam and a deconstructed version of it that was so well executed truly a remarkable experience celebrating my 15 year anniversary with my Beautiful wife something we will never forget.
We have eaten at some of the best Restaurants in the Country including Atelier Crenn, Manresa, Providence, Mèlisse, Saison, Californios, Canlis Bouchon, Localis, Miller & Lux, Protégé. & I am more than convinced that Coastal Kitchen is Among The Best.
As a Chef I can respect what this Chef and his team are doing and fully understand the complexity in working with very Fresh Seafood and keeping the flavors pure & beautiful...
(Thank you for accommodating my wife's Gluten-Free alergy.)
Thanks again Coastal Kitchen for making our Anniversary very Special.

Stopped here on our way north along the coast, and it did not disappoint! First of all, the service was excellent, as our server Salome took my girlfriends severe gluten allergy to extreme care and made sure nothing that was prepared for us came into contact with gluten. Outstanding! The burrata was prepared with seasonal tomatoes, and as a tomato lover, I was left wanting more. The paella was cooked perfectly, just the right amount of char on the bottom, added the perfect texture. Highly recommend checking this place out!
This Bistro has an awesome atmosphere. Danny help me pick out some options for a gluten free I have to follow. The Dungeones crab legs. We sat at a window seat. We were in Monterey for our honeymoon. This was our first choice reastrant and will always be the only one we will visit. Thanks Again Danny
