I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.

I am so glad we discovered this restaurant! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive and my sangria was perfect. I can't eat gluten so that fact that the restaurant is completely gluten-free was wonderful! I could eat anything from the menu! And my company, who can eat gluten, also enjoyed everything they had and didn't notice the lack of it. I also appreciated that the hand washing sinks were located outside of the toilets so patrons could wash hands without waiting for full facilities. We all had the Baja-Style Cod which we each thought was amazing, and started with guacamole and chips and ceviche. The portions were just right. I hope Copita opens in NY!!!

Lovely little place in downtown SB that you'd never know was gluten-free if you didn't ask! Food was delicious, and they clearly put great care into their decor, tableware, and other accents. Save room for dessert, if you can!

Jessica Schneiderman

Best gastropub/high-end comfort food/small plates for celiac folks! The churros and mac & cheese are a MUST HAVE!

Jessica Wilmer

We went for happy hour and are immediately obsessed. $6 house margarita, fantastic. $3 street tacos, delicious. They have a community table, beautiful patio, nice music. Menu specifies dairy free, vegetarian option, gluten free, and spicy.

Jenna Portela

Entire menu can be made gf and they do their best with cross contamination

Ray Ray

Great service, very little wait. Pizzas were good, and love their gluten-free pizza options. Even though it’s a chain, it’s a nice place and worth the Uber!

Margaret Fell-Gordon

DELICIOUS!!! The flavor was mouthwatering! TOTALLY GLUTEN FREE TOO! First time I’ve had a quesadilla on a small tortilla in years no dining out. Highly recommended.

Nicki Ohrstrom

The best gluten free choices! The server was so fun & personable!

Alyssa Zhu

Freekeh is a hidden gem in SF and strikes that rare combination of amazing food, service, and ambiance. We ordered a house sampler to try their various spreads and could not decide which one was our favorite- they were all that good, though the muhammara is a must-try! I am gluten intolerant and they happily accommodated me with homemade GF lavash-esque chips to go with the spreads. We also got the cauliflower and three different skewers - would highly recommend the kufta and shish tawook (chicken); each came paired with different sauces and were incredibly well marinated and tender. We tried two desserts and loved the halawa o buza- creamy, nutty, and the perfect amount of sweet. Our dining experience was complemented by the owner and waitress, who took great care of our table and simply radiated kindness and warmth. It was such a pleasure to dine here and we can’t wait to come back!

STEVEN LOCKYER

The most amazing place for celiacs in the world

Mandy Motl

One of my favorite restaurants in SF! So many naturally gluten free options. The catfish, bun cha, and the chow fun are amazing. Highly recommend

Jerome Theresse

Every entree, appetizer, and dessert is gluten free here. it's pricey but well worth it for a splurge.

Kristie Rolfsen

MUST EAT HERE! Celiac, just eating gluten free, or not. This place is amazing. We loved the Chicken Tinga Tostadas and Rolled Tacos.

Marcel Fafard

Caffe Calabria is one of my new favorites. The gluten free pizza here is the best I've ever had. Amazing bar, and coffee roasting on site.

Emma C Siegel

Fantastic food and very lively energy! I have celiac disease and I was so excited to find gluten free options here and our server was knowledgeable about allergies. Every dish is made to order so they're able to make customizations based on dietary needs. Cocktails were awesome too. Super excited to have found this spot, looking forward to coming back soon.

Ryan

Ash was such a helpful server. He helped me navigate the gluten free menu. And he was so attentive and really went above and beyond! Thank you Ash!

Lynette B

Absolutely fantastic! They have fresh gluten free pasta that is out of this world delicious. My daughter and I stayed there for 2 hours enjoying drinks, appetizers, salad, pasta and dessert. All gluten free and wonderful! The service is a perfect blend of attentive and allowing you to have your space. I have eaten here three time so far. I will be back anytime I am in Carmel. Did I mention fresh made gluten free pasta!!!

Kyra

The service was lovely and as someone with coeliac disease, I felt very safe eating here (the server let me know that the original owner’s wife is celiac, and so that made me feel like they would have a good understanding of cross-contamination). The eggs and hashbrowns were just OK and the chicken sausage and the pancake that I had were pretty good.

Ben Sager

Gluten free menu says it was voted best GF option in town and I see why. Was very good. Server was very knowledgeable.

William Silva

best salad and potatoes !

Nancy Collins

Love this gluten free menu.

Nancy Myers

Amazing food across the board! Loved it. They were very accommodating with my gluten allergy and provided many delicious options. We ate on the patio, they have misters for warm weather and the atmosphere was lovely.

Janet Duitsman

Lovely place, nice ambiance. I'm gluten free so I had a GF pizza which was delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable about their specialty beers etc. The on tap beers change weekly. I'll be going back!

Shayaan Qazi

Husband and I treated ourselves to a night out and I'm still thinking about the food a week later. We normally do the sushi menu but this time we sampled a bit of everything else. We were lucky enough to catch their 20th anniversary menu and wow did it deliver. Our server was excellent and his recommendations were top notch. They are always extremely accomodating of my husband's gluten allergy and this time was no different. We can't wait to go back!

Sadie Dunn

100% gluten free, incredible food, not huge portion sizes but was filling enough. Our drinks were so good too

Madi sun

We went here on a slow evening and sat at the bar. We ordered a cider and the gluten free chicken tinders and fries, I asked the bartender about the fryer and she assured me that it was completely gluten free and no chance of cross contamination. The $15 chicken tinders and fries were just okay, the chicken was dark meat which I thought was kinda gross and cheap for chicken tinders. Then I got violently ill later that evening and knew I had been glutened. 2 days later and I’m still recovering, don’t eat here if you have celiac. Also i definitely wish I would’ve checked Find me gluten-free reviews before I came.

Charly Luna

Absolutely beautiful space and such amazing food. I have celiac disease, and it's such a relief to find such divine eats that keep me safe. So much yum!! Thank you Tocoya Organica!

Mark Jordan

Gluten free options. Amazing food. Great portion sizes!

Ashley Radzat

Sabrina was kind, informative, and very friendly. The food was the perfect size and the taste was excellent. We had the Korean Noodles with chicken and being somebody that is Gluten free it was amazing to have friend chicken options!!

Maureen San

Hoooray! Found a nice spot to eat quality burgers and drinks. Fries are tasty! It’s hard being celiac so I’m glad I have an option before I head to the beach. ✨🫶🏼

Nathan Elizalde

Really good vibe. Porsche went above and beyond to ensure the allergens were avoided. Though they were busy we did not feel they were irritable or rushing us. The food was fine, but it was everything else that makes this place one you want to visit, especially if you have gluten and soy allergies.

Claire Hunter

Wonderful food. Accommodated 25 person group last minute. Wonderful gluten free options. The owner and staff could not have provided better service.

Rebecca Ozeran

Excellent tamales, tacos (I especially recommend the salmon tacos available on Fridays), aguas frescas, salads, salsas, rice and beans, guac... you can't go wrong! I recently worked with CDT Cocina to cater a large event (65 people) and Liz was amazing. Super responsive to finalize my order in advance, online invoicing was very convenient, and Liz brought the order right on time. Everyone was so thrilled by the meal - everything gluten free, many delicious vegetarian options, and of course amazing omnivore choices. She even brought us to-go boxes for our guests to take extras home if they wanted. We finished the meal with only some sides/salsas left and 100% happy eaters! I highly recommend CDT Cocina for catering, in addition to in-person or takeout dining (getting tamales in bulk is always a great option too).

Amazing food, fully gluten free menu!! If they could add cider or hard kombucha to the menu, then this spot would be 10/10 perfect!

Julie Wilds

We had a party of 7. Three of us have celiac and I have soy allergies. The manager was so helpful and printed off menus just for us with the categories and food we can eat. The food was amazing and it was nice to know exactly what would be safe for us. Kudos to Long Beach P. F Chang.

Paula Tsoi-A-Sue

Nice update! They added some extra gluten free and vegan options since the last time I was here. It was my first time here for brunch so I tried and loved the breakfast tacos(not vegan). Psyched to come back and try some of the new stuff 😋

Mary Carbajal

We had a fabulous dinner. You can’t find a better beach view. The ambiance is warm, comfortable and beautiful. The food was excellent. I’m so tired of having mediocre food and being disappointed. The service was outstanding. Our server was attentive and made good suggestions. I can’t wait to go back. There were so many things I wanted to try. They have a gluten free menu which made ordering food easy. This will be a favorite place !

Annelise Holyoak

Incredible- I can’t love this place more. The first chicken and biscuits are a must. All celiac safe

Betsy

Lots of gluten free options. This time they even made the gf mushroom and spinach pizza that is not in menu! Turkey burger is always a win!

Ivo Raza

Loved the food, nothing fancy, just good ingredients, with some creative twists. Service was great too. Almost everything is gluten free too.

Michelle Nguyen

We've been here quite a few times and every experience has been amazing! Great food and great staff! Every server we have had has been so kind and takes our gluten/shellfish allergy very seriously. Never had an issue :). Highly recommend this place!

devinevegan

Very knowledgeable staff who was eager to help us customize meals to make them gluten free and vegan. The food was delicious and we had several options.

Tina M

First time and will definitely be back. All the gluten-free options are wonderful. I was able to try items I cannot normally order. Cheese balls, chicken pot pie, the gluten free bread that came with the pumpkin ginger soup! All of ot was amazing. The service was friendly. Our server shared about the farm and the own is celiac. This made me more comfortable with the gluten-free menu since she would understand. We had the goat cheese balls, carrot ginger soup, shrimp ceviche with homemade chips, chicken pot-pie and the affogoto. All of it was so delicious!

Joni Shimabukuro

Our awesome experience started with a phone call from Imani. She was following up about a request I made on Open Table for a quiet spot because I’m highly sensitive. She was so understanding and kind. When we arrived, we had a great place on the patio. The food met all expectations and the N/A cocktails were sophisticated. There were lots of gluten free options with a GF vanilla cheesecake to die for. The service was impeccable. The restaurant is located in a great neighborhood and we walked off the wonderful dinner we had. Please support this all vegan establishment and their wonderful, attentive staff!

Manuel P

Excellent food and plenty of Gluten Free options

Sovalon Torres

Ordered the Garlic Cream Fettucini and it was dry so we asked for more sauce. It had to be approved by the manager since it was made to order. They made more sauce and brought it out. I also ordered the gluten free BBQ chicken pizza and it was great! My daughter even like it and stole a piece!

Fran Ferlazzo

Best Wagu burger I've had and appreciated that I was able to order a gluten free bun. Hubs liked that he was able to create his own salad the way he wanted. Highly recommend!

Natalie Hampton

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!
