The food was so good I almost didn't believe it was vegan and gluten free!

Very busy! Hardly any available seats. We sat at the bar and ordered take out. They offer gluten free options! Easily marked on their menu. They were doing trivia night was neat to watch although we weren’t apart of it. Bartender/server was quick to take care of us. Always a plus when they are at the top of there game. They have a really pretty wall of flowers when you walk out the back door. They have a ton of televisions on the walls if you’re a sports person. Parking is paid plenty of spots. Sundays are free by the way. There’s a parking garage right by them if they happen to be so busy you’re not able to find a parking spot closer to them. The parking garage really is not that far of a walk. Great experience!

We live right down the street. I have a gluten allergy, and as a celiac they are always very accommodating and honest about the ingredients. The pho is excellent, they are fast and friendly.

That Neapolitan pizza is the best in ferndale next to como's deep dish. All depends on what kind of pizza you're craving. Also their brunch is quite nice. The friends I went with had a gluten and the other a diary allergy and they were able to accommodate them.

Anita’s Kitchen has been a favorite gluten free restaurant. Today, however, i had an unsettling experience. Kevin, a new waiter, decided he was too overwhelmed to be my server. He ignored us went to a different table and took their order. I politely asked if he was our server, because he was taking care of every other table in the section, except for ours, he said he was not! I had to request a manger to take our order, the manager was great. He was kind and professional. If it were not for the manager, I would have walked out. Kevin, you missed out on a 30% tip

Black tonic was really good! They also had 3 gluten free pastries, all delicious

Not sure why they label gluten free on their menu when the food is cooked in shared friers. I get some ppl have a preference but we came bc the menu appeared to be gluten friendly until we read the fine print.

They have a whole GF menu yet nothing is *actually GF. Would not recommend for folks with celiac disease. They are not willing to take simple steps to reduce cross contamination. I asked about changing gloves, using a clean roller and clean cutting board to make my sushi rolls the kitchen refused. I left. Would not recommend

I had to go back in and make sure my order was gluten free…. THATS HOW GOOD THIS WAS!!!! I got the pixie pixie tea and the gluten free/vegan chocolate tart . Perfection . I expected the tart to b super sweet and rich like fudge and though it was rich it was bit overpowering AT ALL. I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. Thanks so much for all the love you put into your products guys it really really shows. You’ll see me often ✌🏽☮️ - Lex

Amazing. They have a designated indoor play area great for toddlers and young kids. A parents dream. Food was great too! They have gluten free options!

Best vegan & gluten free tacos! I highly recommend the authentic-style taco trio on corn tortillas and the piña cola. The house salsas are also phenomenal. All tacos and rice are served with fresh limes---- Use them! The atmosphere here is lovely with huge modern animal mandala murals and black lighting.

The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Their accommodation of our dietary restrictions and food allergies went above and beyond. They provided an annotated menu with all of the dairy free options, and the pastry chef Carla had made a special dessert option that was dairy free and gluten free just in case we wanted dessert. It was such a treat because restaurants rarely have dessert options I can eat, and it was also delicious. Will definitely return and recommend!

Pretty tasty tacos (had the barbacoa and bean taco), unique salsas (had the trio), yummy hot dogs (had the Chino Sonoran modified gluten free and dairy free), and vegan elotes. Drinks were hit or miss - some were a little too sweet. Would come back.

Food is good. I'm gluten free so only a couple items are available but the it was good. My husband really enjoyed his pizza and beer. Played some pool and enjoyed picking songs on the juke box.

My review is loaded with reasons of why I rated as I did… really nice place for sure! Great atmosphere.. they were booked solid for sitting at a table. We sat at the bar. They greeted us and came over to take our drink orders. Drinks were served quickly. Bartender/Server.. his name was Simone so he gets 6 stars for patience for running around 20 million times asking the chef questions. I’m lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, and garlic intolerant. So with that being said it’s 2025 restaurants should be versed in these dietary restrictions. How silly of you to have a menu with gluten intolerance foods highlighted/stated and then switch to a ridiculous menu to only make your servers lives extremely difficult. That poor gentlemen running around all night trying to accommodate. Chef Bruce Allen & Chef Noel Cabrera so many places get it. You don’t. You have to pivot and learn how to accommodate dietary restrictions. Your menu is ridiculous simplify things for customers and your staff! There way of ‘accommodating’ was wait til 10pm let us clean up and then prepare your meal?! That’s ridiculous! I had an extremely long day just wanted to spend time with my significant other have a nice dinner and a good time. Somehow getting food out has become a chore! Thanks If you have dietary restrictions go to the bar and look for the gentleman I mentioned he will go thru hoops trying to make you happy. I hope they treat him well. If it weren’t for him I would have walked out! Parking is side street paid or garage paid via app. I saw the meter maid doing his rounds they figure you out and charge! Pay it or you’ll get something in the mail.

Place is dope. I currently am not drinking and was impressed with their delicious mocktail collection featuring NA spirits. This allowed me to scratch the itch of “tasting” cocktails without cheating on my commitments! Fiancee’ had some cocktails which were all wonderfully constructed, strong(which means something because she has high tolerance) and delicious. Food wise, I had a wonderful dessert. We were surprised too to see vegan, gluten free, dairy free options. You know you are dealing with true pros when they lean into dietary restrictions instead of sticking their head in the sand. Place made for a great Valentine’s date night. We will for sure be back!

Luisa's is a cute little spot in the heart of Ferndale that offers several vegan and gluten free option's daily. The owner and staff are incredible, offering excellent customer service. I have never had a bad meal at Luisa's. Make sure to try their "not tuna, tuna salad"!

Good food (breakfast, wraps, etc), veg/vegan/gluten-free treat options, chill atmosphere, open later than most coffee shops
