Top 5 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Delights to Enjoy in Thousand Oaks

Kendra Mellinger

Went here to celebrate a family birthday, with everyone eating gluten-free. Disappointed there was no gluten-free beer available. The mozzarella cheese fries appetizer took half an hour, and was strange—odd presentation with way too much cheese (it looked like cheese pie—which okay, who doesn’t love more cheese? but visually, it was unappetizing, not browned or bubbly, just a slab of melted cheese) and underneath, the fries were barely cooked. When we mentioned it to the server, she didn’t apologize or make it right—she told us the fries are baked that way in the oven since they don’t have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and they end up undercooked. Okay….Our pizza was good, but not enough sauce, and the sausage was crumbled instead of bite-sized pieces. The gluten-free vegan lasagna was delicious! But the slow service (it wasn’t crowded, but every step of service was slow) and “sucks to be gluten-free” attitude of the server and cook were disappointing. And the ‘80s pop music all night was not our thing.

During the holidays I went here twice. Once to meet with friends. I had the carrot soup and the wonderful ginger honey tea, which inspired me to start making it at home. The food was so delicious I had to go back. I wanted to try their breakfast. So Sunday morning after Christmas, i went back with family. They had a wonderful young jazz quartet who provided the most unexpected and best atmosphere during breakfast. Gluten-free pancake breakfast with tea and jazz.

As a person with celiac, I love that I can eat here comfortably never worrying about cross contamination. The food is delicious! If I had to say one thing, that’s the downside is that there is no seating in most locations, which is such a bummer when the weather is not ideal. Other than that, Love, love love this place! Cherry on top… They donated free meals to the first responders during the Palisades fire That’s what community is about❤️

This is my go to spot for lunch or weeknight with the kids. The chilled soups are so refreshing, and they have the most authentic, vegetarian, gluten free recipes too. You can’t go wrong with Sole Soups!
