Safe for the Gluten Free community!! Fries and chili are gluten free! And they have gluten free hot dog and burger buns:) they also take precautions against cross contamination. Safe safe safe :)

Ugh. Food based on fresh produce (omelette with real eggs, the banana bread is great), all gluten-free. We arrived around 8:20 a.m., 1st customers in the room. Very noisy environment, it's even worse in the room than near their counter: noise from fridges and/or air conditioning and/or coffee grinding constantly. The 3 together is unbearable. High prices, room cleaning not optimal. The tallest waitress is also the only one who really smiles; the other one seemed annoyed just talking to us. The cook did not respond to our hello.

Nice variety of options for vegan and gluten free as well. The salad was nicely dressed and good size but maybe the greens and cabbage could’ve been chopped more finely. The three of us enjoyed what we ordered, nothing too special or mind blowing but maybe next time I go I’ll try something different.

BEST SMOOTHIES! Gluten-free, no high fructose corn syrup, so delicious! They make them with real fruit and also have dessert with coconut milk ice cream 😍 All natural 🍓🍉🍑🍌🍇

In celebration of Black Restaurants Week here in LA, I decided to check out Swift Cafe. Swift Cafe did not disappoint. Having checked out the menu beforehand, the one thing I knew that I was going to order was the Tiramisu smoothie. They have dishes I've never heard of or seen anywhere else (e.g. beet dumplings). It was breakfast time so I ordered the sweet potato hash. OMG...the flavors! It's one of the most affordable menu items and certainly one of the most delicious. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the stellar service. The gentleman at the counter was super friendly, chill, and accomodating. My friend who was with me is gluten-free and he was able to make spot-on recommendations for her. Note: During COVID time they're not serving the full menu. But their current offerings are delicious, nutritious. It was well worth the trip. Can't wait to return and try those beet dumplings.

Their blueberry matcha is amaaahzing! They also have vegan and gluten-free donuts (not many places have that so this is definitely a gem!!)

The cutest cafe! I love that the options are endless in customizing your own sandwich and everything is fresh! I’ve had the tuna melt (got it 4 times in a row because it’s so good!) and caprese sandwich (added sundried tomatoes- delicious!) so far and they were both fantastic! I also love that they have gluten free bread available and to all my g-free eaters - it’s the GOOD STUFF! Everyone who works there is warm and welcoming; I always look forward to stopping there during lunchtime!

Outside but covered restaurant. Very intimate setting. Beautifully lit. Great staff. Very busy in the evening. Valet parking available. The food was exquisite and each dish had its own unique flavor profile. Ordering many items from the menu is your best option (family style). Lots of variety. Very limited vegan options- radicchio salad & sprouted cauliflower. I was here with my family so wasn’t expecting too much given my dietary restrictions. They really enjoyed their food. The duck confit stood out the most as it was moist, succulent, full of flavor, not too heavy, & fell right off the bone. Every single item was thoroughly pleasing to my family & they had many great things to say about their dining experience. They did have an option that could be made vegetarian (some pasta), however, the vegan options were very slim and wish they would’ve had at least one main dish that could be vegan & gluten free. Place is really cool though. I’d highly recommend anyone who is a foodie and appreciates one of a kind cuisine to support Cento.

Great food, low prices. I love this place. I've been a big fan of Honey Bee's House Of Breakfast for years. I love the huge El Salvadoran breakfasts, especially because it's gluten free, my friends love the pancakes. The traditional El Salvadoran breakfasts are each served with enormous handmade tortillas, eggs, avocado, and hard cheese. Served with or without chorizo,. Depending on how hungry you are. Two meals for the price of one! I like the creamy black beans here, served with crumbly hard white cheese and tortillas. Honey Bee's is currently offering uncrowded indoor dining at a safe distance, and there's a few cute tables outside as well. The social distancing practices here are very good. So is the food and value.

Consistent, delicious, clean food that’s full of flavor and soul! I’m completely gluten free and soy free. I typically avoid Vegan restaurants due to the over influx of soy! Crystals doesn’t use any soy and has a vast array of gluten free item and/or you can make the item gluten free. I order like five items each visit and take orders to go! And I still have more items to explore!!! I love this family business! Thank you for your dedication to good health and quality tasty food!!!!
