I traveled from Sacramento to try this gluten-free bakery. I was very surprised by the variety of items available. I wish they would open a location close by.

From what i understand this places reputation doesn’t even need a review because of how highly it was talked about but, here we are anyway. As a plant based gluten free person not often (or ever) do I get to indulge in Mac and cheese and holy macaroni this was single handily the best dish that has graced my taste buds. Is that dramatic? Yes absolutely but they earned it. The atmosphere, staff and options catered to dietary restrictions is off the charts. I also got their vegan gluten free brownie and it was divine. You have to go!

Most items can be made gluten free. Fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer. Do not eat bbq sauce, malted mayo that comes with fries, or biscuit as those are not gluten free. All mayo on sandwiches is regular mayo.

Tim McDermott

Great coffee spot for vegan treats. Some gluten free options as well.

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!

10/10 this place is awesome. I've been here a few times and yesterday I got the gluten free fried chicken sandwich which also had on it Japanese egg salad and spicy mustard. I have celiac disease and it's so incredible to find amazing gluten free celiac friendly food that's this good and full size (we're not talking tiny gf bread, this stuff is legit). The portions are big and the food is reasonably priced. Also have a big selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Can't wait to come back soon

"You are what you eat" & Kitava truly helps you reach your most healthy, grounded, and glowy version! They have seen so successful at creating delicious dishes with 100% healthy ingredients. I have brought my gluten-free friends here and they leave delighted, since they can eat everything. I love the bowls but my absolute favorite is their plant-based soft serve Cashew ice cream. Getting one is part of my weekend routine!

Good gluten free crust

It’s so nice to get great gluten free sushi, even a California roll made with real crab!

Samir Jain

Great ambiance with the outdoors area with full heat and lighting. They have gluten labels and ciders

Have been here twice now - once for my wife's birthday and once for brunch - and I can confidently say this is my new favorite restaurant in Oakland. Everything is gluten free which is great because my wife has celiac. I don't eat meat and they have solid veggie options. Plus great selection of local beer, tasty not-top-pretentious craft cocktails, and a lovely staff.

Get the gluten free bread- being GF it is hard to find solid gluten free bread, and this is one of the best I’ve ever had!

I'm so happy with Neecha Thai! I got the vegan skewer with peanut sauce, the pumpkin curry, and jasmine rice. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the vegan options and service at Neecha Thai. Food was ready FAST. The pumpkin curry was so amazingly flavorful and the portions were massive. Even the portion of rice was big, they gave two containers for the single order. My one meal alone was definitely enough to feed two people. The veggie skewers with peanut sauce were a solidly satisfying appetizer. There were a variety of tofu and wheat-gluten (seitan) protein options. I'm definitely going to be craving their food now whenever I want Thai!

Amazing spot! The menu was very clear about dietary restrictions, and the fact that it’s an entirely gluten free establishment made me feel very safe in ordering. Portions for the bowls were fantastic (yay leftovers for lunch the next day!), and shout out to the many dressing/sauce options available. Finding gluten free teriyaki sauce AND vegan ranch to dip their delicious cauliflower wings? A major win! Only caveat to note is the cookie dough potion is quite small for the price, but I do love to support Sweet Loren’s when I can. Overall, so happy to have found this spot, and will definitely be ordering from here when I’m visiting Oakland again!

My boyfriend is gluten/dairy free and we came here based on good ratings from the Find Me GF app. While he couldn’t have the donuts, we were mainly after brunch and the tofu scrambles were delicious! He had the Pepples scramble with avocado, and I had the Pesto scramble. Both come served with hash browns and sourdough toast, so we just left out the toast for him. I usually don’t love tofu but this dish was absolutely delicious! We are from out of town but will definitely stop back here if we’re in the area again 😄

The gluten-free chocolate cake was incredibly tasty! I called in advance and was informed that they were initially sold out. However, they had more batter available and were able to bake some additional cakes within 30 minutes.

This place is awesome! Great atmosphere, delicious food, vegan and gluten free options. The Roti is some of the best I've ever had (vegan, not gluten free). Drinks were on point. Will be coming here more often from now own. No patio seating/no dogs.
