I can’t believe all the great reviews here. The service was terrible- we were ignored for over 30 mins before our order was served. The waitress didn’t seem to even bother to ask us about our food- though she was doing that to all the neighboring tables (racist much?). The food was quite bad, tbh. The hot shrooms were drenched in oil- had no salt or flavor, and oozed oil when we bit into it. My friend felt really nauseated after because of all the oil in it. The pizza was also under seasoned(we got the motor thingy)… the tomato sauce was really sweet- not in a good way. It felt like they had added sugar instead of salt. The gluten free crust was more like a focaccia, it wasn’t bad but felt like I was eating a sweet tomato focaccia toast, not a pizza. And there was really no flavor outside of the sweet tomato sauce. Very disappointed.

Great 100% gluten free spot! It is also raw and vegan, so it does not have the most traditional meals and desserts but they are still very yummy. I enjoyed the various raw desserts we ordered and my cashew cheese quesadilla.

Okay but why are these so dang good??? I was craving donuts at 1am and decided to search San Diego on Google maps for some Gluten Free options and I am SO HAPPY I found this place. I made it just in time before they closed and asked for the surprise me special. Every flavor option I got was to die for. Crunchy, yet soft donuts, delicious flavors and will be my new cheat sweets 🤤 Free donut as you walk in and the prices are very fair and manageable I believe the strawberry one was my favorite but also can't go wrong with powdered. They were devoured in 10 minutes. The two ladies working at the time were so friendly and explained the menu to me and all the options available GO HERE NOW and try out these donuts I PROMISE they will be better than you think! Can't wait to go back! 🤤🤤🤤

This place is fantastic. I have celiac and a wheat/oat allergy and the staff was knowledgeable about all allergens for menu items. I had no bad reactions to the food afterward. The food is delicious too - I'm an omnivore who eats vegan/vegetarian a decent amount. It stands amongst some of my favorite restaurants ever (non vegan included). Did not think it being vegan detracted from flavor whatsoever. Highly recommend, especially if you have gluten sensitivity.

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.

This place is my favourite sushi restaurant outside of Japan. The fish selection is top quality. The chef has dedicated his career to this craft. He's amazing. Plus everything is gluten free, even the tempura, which is unreal. Try the salmon belly. It melts in your mouth.

You got to love in n out. And you can get a Gluten free version. They use crisp lettuce in place of the bun. It’s a fast food place like McDonalds, busy, loud, but the food is 5x better.

Excellent food! Great service! We also loved that they accommodated food allergies - child with egg and tree nut allergies and adult with avocado and pork allergies. We don’t have a gluten allergy but they have a gluten free dedicated fryer (and the fryer was egg and TN free) and gluten free options.

I got glutened by eating their hashbrowns after asking if they were gluten-free. I was told that only gluten-free fries and hashbrowns are fried in their fryer. Disappointed, however, the guy at the register was very friendly... which earned them an extra star.
