There are a lot of vegetarian and gluten-free options. Our server was friendly. The food is very tasty 😋. There is plenty of parking in the parking garage.

Esmeralda Sandoval Villafaña

Delicious!! First time coming to this restaurant and I loved it. The best thing about my favorite pasta Arrabiata and with a gluten free option. A couple of months ago I was in Italy and I can say that the taste is identical to Italian food. I will definitely return

Serena Goldsmith

I got the Tuscan pizza with the gluten-free pizza crust and vegan cheese. It was great!

The gluten-free spicy chicken burger is the best

Only went for drinks and shared a fish and chips plate but it was (mostly) gluten free which is rare for fishnchips. Atmosphere was great, felt like I went on vacation somewhere.

Proceeds from this spot support people with special needs. The food they serve is healthy, including gluten-free options. Service was friendly and efficient. It was a quiet ; música en vivo algunos días entre semana , breakfast burrito, coffee delicious 😋

Iron Plumbing (Javier Lopez)

The omlette I had was really tasty. Can't wait to try a different one. They also had a gluten-free pancake, which wasn't too bad.

Scott D.

Totally impressed. My wife had a gluten free crepe and I had the Allegra waffles with scrambled eggs. We want more! The cook was chill and accommodating. We will be back.

I love this place ❤️ always great service And I have been coming here since they were established here in San Elijo. I even recommend their great gluten-free pizza. Thanks for continuing to deliver unrivaled quality. I would definitely consider supporting this local restaurant especially during this time. I honestly wish I reviewed sooner!

gf bread

Steven Haney

Came in for lunch. Wifey and I both got the Philly Cheese steak sandwiches. I got regular bread she got the gluten free. Upon tasting the GF break wifey didn't like it (Jersey Mike's purchases their GF breaks elsewhere). Wifey asked if she could buy a loaf of regular bread to transfer the meat into it and the sandwich preparer (Cameron) changed the bread without any hesitation or extra charge. This is the type of customer service every franchise needs. Thanks Cameron and thank you JM's!!!

Frank O'Connor

Definitely a nice sandwich shop. Similar offerings to Jersey Mike’s type places but definitely fresher and tastier! The turkey and pastrami was very yummy and great portions! The pickles are excellent too. Service was slow, but the people were nice. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! Decent gluten-free offerings too!

Karin Crawford

They have gluten-free baked goods! I had the 6 inch apple pie, and they cut it in quarters for me and heated a piece so I could wat it with breakfast. They are very accommodating. Delicious food, friendly service. Wonderful!

Ilana S

Nice little place. Enjoyed the gluten free pancakes immensely!

Maria I Rodriguez

Wonderful authentic Mexican food that is reasonably priced. We had the Chicken soup and shared Chicken fajitas! Both were delicious! They have a great Gluten free menu! Margaritas are yummy too!

Jerome Kahele

The staff is super friendly and the menu is good for all diets. They also have Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten free options.

Anita Baranowski

Delicious variety of Persian and Mediterranean food. All is gluten free except pitas and desserts.

We waited about 2 hours for a table at brunch. The staff were very friendly. The place was too hot and we felt uncomfortable. Our portions were small and lacking presentation. The gluten-free muffins were amazing. The coffee was undesirable. Honestly, I'd go back and give them another try on a day when they aren't so busy. We ordered vegan options, and the portions were so small (especially for the price, which was over $100 for two adults and a child! They were so small we were still hungry by the time we got home. If they could improve I would say bigger portions and stronger AC.

Gluten free pizza was delicious and they took extra precaution when preparing it because I have celiac. Will definitely be back.

Love hanging out there and their gluten free options are wonderful.

Hands down, best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to. Like… just trust me. Just go here. Curry is SOOOO flavorful that even a lick on your spoon will send your eyes rolling to the back of your skull in .5 seconds. Fried tofu is perfect texture. Cashew Stir Fry is perfectly crisp-tender fresh, with a delicious flavorful spicy and savory sauce. Can order things gluten free and vegan if desired. Thank you for the delightful meal, Muay Thai! I wish I lived closer or knew all the secrets to cook like this 😭❤️

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! always so friendly and loving the menu change, so much quicker, less waste, and so many more options! Hard to find many places that fit my plant based and gluten free diet. Thank you everbowl employees for being the best!

Cassidy Moyes

The chopped salad was delicious and the waitress was very nice! Ambiance was great too, and as a mom I appreciate them having a diaper changing station in the women's restroom! Overall great experience and I'll be back! My only wish is that they'd have a gluten-free oven so that I could get pizza, but oh well.

Love Canes! I get the naked bird because I’m gluten free and it’s always good. They are typically pretty speedy but the naked bird always takes longer. Employees are always nice and helpful.

We had a really great experience during our first visit at Epoch. I had a great happy hour wine and my husband was very happy with his beer. I have a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate easily with their happy hour menu. We had their soup of the day, spinach artichoke dip, and hummus. They were all really delicious and their staff was knowledgeable about gluten free cuisine. We were so pleased with our visit and look forward to many more if we buy a home in the area!!

Teresa Manjarrez

Nice place in a new neighborhood in San Marcos. The service was quick, friendly but a little bit pushy to order things right away. The food is good, the menu is large with options for everyone including gluten free and vegetarian. Prices are reasonable.

I think it’s good pizza (I can’t eat gluten). Had their GF pizza one and it was good! Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Absolute best Thai in the area. Authentic, fresh, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Loved finding this place! The pad thai was VERY authentic to the restaurant’s area of Thailand! The panang curry had delicious flavor, presently beautifully and a very generous portion. Gluten Free friendly!! Definitely get the thai iced tea— every place is different, but this was perfection!!! Atmosphere is tough too but this was quite pleasant. We also noticed a huge number of take out orders being picked up so it definitely seems to be a local favorite! Highly, highly recommend!

First - the good. Went here on Saturday (March 2nd) with some friends to try something new and close to home. Our waitress was amazing and the food was tasty. Four of us shared three appetizers: chips with guacamole and queso; caprese; pesto with mozzarella. One of us has Celiac and the waitress was very helpful in discussing the gluten free items. So why 1 star? Here’s the bad - Yelp lists that the place is open until 11pm on a Saturday. No hours are listed on the door. At 9:30 pm - a lady (not our waitress) yells out at the top of her voice, hand cupped around her mouth, that people need to pay and leave because they were closed and wanted to go home. We had already paid for our bill. There were other people still at the bar. There were two smallish children running around the restaurant. We had no idea they were closed. Rather than politely coming to us and letting us know they were closed, they chose to assume we should have known this and we were deliberately preventing them from leaving. We were aware that the kitchen had closed but thought the bar was still open. There are two other bar type venues close by. While we did think it strange the kitchen was closed but the bar remained opened, we thought maybe they stayed open to compete with the other two venues. Especially since it was a Saturday night. Even though the rest of our experience was good - I won’t go back. It was so unprofessional. I would have given 5 stars had they simply come up and said something like “you might not be aware since our hours are not listed, but we’re closing at this time.”

Located close to Cal State San Marcos. Small coffee shop with gluten-free and dairy free options. Had some awesome 90s music playing too.

Great selection and gluten free friendly. I will often be able to get plenty of veggies for my wife’s gluten free and vegetarian bowls while all the dressings and toppings are available in great portions! Love the specificity drinks as well! Friendly staff

Holly Hill

We made reservations for 4 of us. I highly recommend that as the tables are limited. It is a very quaintly decorated Italian place. Not “overdressed”, but classy. We went right as they opened for dinner so the service was good. Our server was David, he was attentive and friendly. We know that good food takes time so we enjoyed our time together while we waited between courses. We had the Marinated Salmon Carpaccio and the Mozzarella Caprese for appetizers. They were both very fresh and tasty. For dinner we had Butternut Squash Ravioli, Vegan and Gluten Free Garden Vegetable Ravioli, Osso Buco, and the Lasagna al Ragu Bolognese. Everything came out together and was piping hot, which was amazing. Everyone loved the food. It was absolutely delicious. For dessert we had the tiramisu, which was so light and fluffy. They even had Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate. We will definitely visit again to try more items on the menu! So good!!! Don’t miss this place if you enjoy gourmet cuisine.
