Delicious! Definitely worth a visit if you’re a coeliac/ GF!

My friend, who is severely celiac, got very sick here. They say all the food is gluten free, but that’s obviously not true. We looked up everything about this restaurant after she got sick and saw the review of some other person on this site who also got sick. They sell a lot of oats, so that’s probably why she got sick. Cross contamination. Watch out!!! For the not celiac’s, the food is good it just isn’t totally gluten free.

Eating and drinking outside is an option and is pleasant. If ordering to go beers or ciders can be ordered as well. Gluten free is offered and is tasty

We were looking for a Coeliac friendly meal near Golden Gate Park and this was perfect. 100% gluten free food. The only gluten in the place was in a few beers available. Friendly staff. We didn’t play any games but saw a huge selection available. Recommend the waffle sandwiches, and the ice-cream floats to drink, yum!!

We came here for the gluten free sandwiches and were very impressed. Even our non-celiac friends loved the cheese bread, but the good was so slow to arrive, even in a near empty restaurant

Loved the vegan banana bread which was also gluten-free. In my opinion it could’ve had some chocolate chip or walnuts in it as well to add a bit more variety but it was delicious nonetheless! They also had a chocolate chip cookie, a snickerdoodle and a muffin which were vegan and gluten-free. I’ll be back to try the other options for sure

Adriana

The coffee is not very good. I liked that there is gluten free bread

Monica Morse

Worth the walk! In addition to beautiful bread, they have a huge selection of gluten free options. GF almond cookie is perfection. GF pumpkin muffin is best in SF.

Geoff Brown

Great gluten free galettes!

Brett Branstetter

I had my first ever legit gluten free breakfast burrito and it was HEAVEN. A must try!

Becca Chapman

Sam Buchl

The gluten-free Acai waffle and Burmosa with corn tortilla were delicious! Wonderful service!

Bailey Hopper

Wonderful place! The food is always flavorful and portions are generous. The shaved ice is AMAZING. Everything they make is gluten free, and so tasty.

Great doughnuts, they have a broad selection & multiple gluten free // vegan ones as well

Chris Inkpen

I love this for their gluten free sandwiches

Will McTighe

The toasts are EXCELLENT. I have tried all of them. Egg in the hole is my favourite savoury one. Ricotta and Jam is my favourite sweet one. The gluten free bread (adventure bread) is the best GF bread I’ve had. The building is lovely. Atmosphere gets a 3 because, they don’t make people leave fast enough after eating at the weekend. I’ve been standing there multiple times with my food in my hands and nowhere to sit. It is a very awkward experience They either need to add more seating or move people along that have finished eating. The Mill would be a clear 5/5 if they fixed this problem.

Loren Üstel

Love this spot. The food is free and tasty. They have a lot of gluten free options! Everything came out quickly and we love the location.

It’s a cute restaurant but any level deeper a bit gross. I asked about being able to have my food gluten free - every single thing they cook is on shared pans on shared oil. At face value that should cause some pause - a restaurant will usually change pans or oil at least once if twice. Not here. I asked if maybe I could have just potatoes on a clean pan - they said no way. All I could have was fruit and plain eggs. No toast, no potatoes of any kind, no bacon, but don’t worry they will charge you five dollars extra for the fruit. The bathroom is covered with signs that say if you vomit there’s a $50 charge. Not exactly the aesthetic you want for a nice meal. Truly disgusting. After leaving two members of our party had upset stomach. I would say that if you want good photos for Instagram, it’s a nice enough place, but I would never take a guest there or anyone looking for a meal beyond sub-par diner quality.

Absolutely delicious cake with variety of themes (our case of anniversary celebration) and with gluten free options. Delivery also spot on time! Highly recommended for your celebration!

Nina Gregg

Best gluten free pastries I’ve ever had!! 🤩 13/10 incredible! A neighborhood gem.

Megan C

As a gluten free girlie, this place hits the spot for carbs. Their pao de queijo (PDQ or “cheese bread”) sandwiches are a delight. The staff are friendly and the establishment is always clean and bright. Super transit and pedestrian friendly! 10/10 try their different coffees and beware the delicious but strong hot sauce.

Great GF Donuts!! The coffee was lovely.

Kash Arora

Food was absolutely delicious. Good gluten free options as I got the corn tortilla tacos. The orange habanero hot sauce was fresh, spicy, and tasty! Crunchy fries and fresh fish. Would highly recommend on a sunny day. The wait was around 25-30 minutes but they were very transparent about it. Outdoor patio seating and good vibes in general.

Cute space and yummy smoothies! Also great Gluten-free options

Roberto

Amazing sandwiches, atmosphere, and staff. Gluten free options available. Caramel horchata latte was delicious

Great place to stop by for lunch, excellent employees who were very friendly. Delicious meal options with gluten free choices (they use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce in the sisig rice bowl).

Alysha Coughler

Was really excited to see the sandwiches could be made on gluten free bread and they had prepackaged GF desserts. The staff taking me assured they would take precautions to ensure there was no cross contact. Got the turkey and Swiss. It was super tasty, however, got very ill a few hours later and it lasted 3 days. Obviously not great for people with celiac disease. Tasty coffee and would just stick to the prepackaged stuff.

Tamar Bobys

Perfect Cortado, good Americano, and folks, if you are gluten free… they have a delicious GF bread that they offer for their avocado toast that’s topped with an egg. So glad we stopped in.

When I first saw my burrito I thought there was a mistake and it was on a regular flour tortilla… they are that good! I get so used to gluten free stuff being a crappy but necessary substitute, this is so amazing though it doesn’t feel like it’s gluten free at all. Thank you!

Look for the door to what looks like a hotel behind the jewelry store. 9 two person tables and 3 bar stools in this tiny space. I ate a southwestern sandwich and tasted great with toasted bread roll and perfect ingredients quantity. Gluten free bread available. Boba smoothies and milk teas also available thai tea with boba is perfect sweetness and a slight coffee taste to it. Not far from Trolly stops in China town.

Friendly café next to Dolores Park, I only had a coffee but the food looked great and the whole place smelled amazing! (I saw they had gluten free options and many vegetarian options as well) The staff was super helpful and nice to everyone that came and went.

This bakery had been on my list for a while and now I know why the chef was a James Beard finalist for pastry innovation. The desserts are beautiful and while I did not try any of the wild offerings like the Rebel Within or the Bees in Provence, I did enjoy the morning bun which should only be consumed while it is warm or else it is rather dry. The triple chocolate croissant was rich and delicious, but not too sweet. The banana travel cake was good as was the hazelnut financier which is their only gluten free option. The chocolate chip cookie was yummy. However, I saved the best for last, the black sesame kouign amann was to die for! Again, please heat before you consume and you will also fall in love. I was in a rush when I placed my order and did not notice that I was overcharged until I left, however, a quick phone call rectified the situation and I was promptly credited for the overage.

Solid family owned restaurant. The food is really good . You order at the counter. I highly recommend their coffee - iced and hot are both great. The best part of Morning Due is the amazing service you get. I am gluten free- they are knowledgeable and ensure I can safely eat. The attention to detail and desire to be welcoming comes from everyone who works at Morning Due.

Gluten free pastries is a huge plus!

Great gluten free breakfast! Great coffee great atmosphere.

The quiche was very good a solid nine out of 10. The crust was the best part. Ladies at the counter were very attentive and nice. Very very limited gluten-free option. Great atmosphere.

Gluten free buckwheat crepes are a must try

The spicy Thai tofu wrap is one of the worst things I've ever tried. It was dry, bland, and the ingredients were terrible quality. After I asked what the Thai tofu was wrapped in, I was told it was just wrapped in lettuce. It's not, it's wrapped in lavish bread. Wheat/gluten is not listed as an allergen, and lavish is listed as an ingredient (but none of the individual ingredients within the lavish are listed) so it's possible that it's a gluten free wrap? (Maybe?) But I'm allergic to yeast, so I couldn't eat the wrap whether it was gluten free or not. I unraveled it to try to eat the rest as a "salad," but it was SO disgusting that I threw it all away and got food somewhere else. The coffee was great, but the service was awful and the ingredients are not properly listed which I'm pretty sure is illegal

Haven't been since covid. No protein alternatives. Neglected to mention the potatoes are grilled with butter. Staff needs to educated more on different diet lifestyle. If you're gluten intolerant they should know what foods have gluten from their menu. If you don't eat animal products they should have alternatives. Never go there again!!!
