Amazing food and drink menu, plenty of options for gluten free. Also really enjoy that they have such a spacious seating area downstairs.

This is a fantastic restaurant. The food is unbelievable and the service is excellent. Chef Paco is always so warm and welcoming and takes time to talk to each table. To top it off, the first question he asks is “do you have any food allergies?” which is music to my ears as someone with celiac. It’s rare to have that level of accommodation so I am extremely appreciative of this. Tonight we took my wife here for her 50th birthday and Chef Paco and everyone who works there really made it so special for her. They sang and brought out special desserts with candles. He even made me a personal gluten free dessert since I couldn’t eat the birthday flan!! We’ve lived in this area for 5 years now and this is the best restaurant experience we have had yet. Oh! And definitely try the mole sampler! So many amazing flavors going on!

This is our go-to takeout spot. They have plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The massaman curry and basil fried rice are my personal favorites. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and spices. I've had the chive dumplings, fried tofu, veggie egg roll, cucumber salad. (All marked vegan on the menu which I highly appreciate). The panang curry was waaaay too spicy for me so I'm sticking with massaman. I haven't dined in but whenever I pick up take out, the staff is super friendly and the restaurant has a peaceful atmosphere.

Everything about Caffe De Luca is amazing. Highly suggest sitting on the roof, which is often closed for private parties, but the outdoor sidewalk seating is also great. The grilled calamari is one of the best appetizers I've ever had and even though they only have GF crust advertised on one pizza, you can get any of them gluten free!

Delicious Italian food and amazing service! We ate here last night, and sat in the back of the restaurant, which was a lot more quiet and cooler than the front. The restaurant was pretty packed overall, and for good reason. The host was very nice. Our server was very attentive and accommodating, and asked the chef if they could make my dish gluten free because I have celiac disease, and they did. My partner and I loved our dinners. The dessert was to die for! I highly recommend the banana flan with caramel sauce. Overall, it was a great experience.

Workers were so sweet and accommodating for my wife who has celiac disease. Food was wonderful and the restaurant was really clean too!

Robin Wesenberg

Great food and great service. They have some tasty gluten-free French toast that can be substituted for toast or pancakes on breakfast meals. I wish they had more gluten-free options but this is definitely somewhere I enjoy going to.

Every happy I went here! I have (non-classical) celiacs, so I have to be very careful of gluten & cross-contamination. At the end of the menu they list which items are specifically gluten-free and the rest are likely cross-contaminated. Never saw this before anywhere, impressive off the bat! The waitress was knowledgeable as well and gave great service! I had barbacoa tacos, cauliflower rice (never had before & much tastier than I expected) plus black beans. My husband is picky about salsas but liked it quite a bit. Meal was great-tasting with reassurances of safety plus excellent service. Definitely recommend and look forward to coming back!

Very cute inside. This place is totally designed for children. I didn't particularly like my burger but my child liked the chocolate chip pancakes. My spouse liked the turkey club. The Pepsi tasted good too. My child had a real good time with the train brining the food too. They have a lot of activities for children and a fun photo booth. They also have beer and wine selections. They also have Gluten-free buns and bread. The entire staff that waited on us was very polite.

Morgan Leloux

I went into this store today and had the best experience! The staff was so friendly especially the manager I think her name was Cait. She really took the time to explain the best option for me with my strict gluten free diet! Thanks so much for going the extra mile!!
