We loved the haute cakes (pancakes) and waffle. I had the gluten free oatmeal and blueberry haute cakes. They were fluffy and delicious. Coffee was excellent too.

Lawson Murphy

Absolutely amazing!!! The gluten-free Pennette Piccanti is amazing, flavorful, and definitely worth the price. And speaking of the price it's not too bad. Do yourself a favor, go here, and get amazing gluten-free food, and love your life after you eat it.

Tonight was our first time here and WOW, it will definitely be a consistent date night dinner spot moving forward. My wife and I were greeted kindly from the point of arriving by the valet, they were extremely nice and helpful, as well as once we walked in, being welcomed courteously with a smile by the hostess Daisy. The atmosphere was lively with a fully packed house of guests and we were incredibly impressed by how the staff were moving. The staff were so on top of every aspect and detail, they truly moved and worked like a well-oiled machine, kindly, and ridiculously fast-paced. It was a wonderful experience from the moment we arrived and that was all before even ordering and devouring all three of the delicious vegan and gluten-free dishes that we ordered! The establishment was clean and very well maintained. We were greeted by a gentleman by the name of Benito who was not our server but consistently came to our table to check on us and ask if we needed anything, he was sincere and warmly hospitable. I can’t say enough great things about Zabb Thai Cuisine, already looking forward to our next visit.

I know this is a pizza place but their chicken nuggets are sooo good tooo! I have friends who love the pizza and one of my friends are gluten free are able to especially enjoy it because they can make a pizza with gluten free crust and he never gotten a bad reaction from it. The people at the cashier are also very friendly and are very knowledgeable about what is good on the menu. Overall great experience!

Hands-down, this is one of my favorite sushi places in Orange County! Our server Nubia Is an absolute doll and always gives the best recommendations. I also have celiac so she always make sure I’m taking care of and gives me a lot of really great gluten-free options. Every time I come here and get whatever she recommends, I always leave feeling super satisfied and satiated. My favorites are the crispy rice with avocado, crispy rice with Wagyu, Ribeye and asparagus appetizer and I love a modified Philadelphia roll with baked salmon—oh and their chicken fried rice is phenomenal. Thank you Nubia for always such a great experience! :)

We had a delicious lunch at Z Pizza! We are from out of town and were walking through the plaza trying to find a place to eat, and met the owner, Luis. What a genuinely friendly and generous man!! We enjoyed a delicious pizza and great conversation and stories with Luis. Our daughter was so happy they had such a yummy gluten free pizza - those are hard to find!! We wish we lived closer so we could come back often!! Great customer service, great food, and a great memory for our family! Thanks Luis!

A nice healthy choice at the mall - lots of different kinds of fish and preparations, including some gluten free options.

I called in advance to make sure restaurant could accommodate gluten allergy and I was assured most menu items could be modified since they were made to order. I was also told that the waitstaff knew the menu and could advise on gluten allergies. That was the furthest from the truth. This was a birthday celebration. 3 items were prepared and served with gluten mixed in the meal . My medium burger came out with a texture that was so well done it looked and tasted like burnt meat. My son never received his meal replacement until we were ready to leave. All of this poor experience which ruined our celebration and they picked up 2 ice teas. This was not at all what we expected. They do not pay attention to what is being served or the details. My dad ordered the mussels and shrimp, the medium tuna steak looked like a well done swordfish. My husband likes flank steak and he said it was alright. Overall poor cooking quality.. update my son’s meal was packed to go and there was a piece of metal in the burger. Wow that takes careless to a whole new level.

My daughter just got a new job so I brought her and her husband here for lunch we've been to this restaurant many many times and usually we don't ever have a problem with the food she was given ice cream at the end to congratulate her if you've never been to this restaurant go you'll love it they have something for everyone if I remember correctly they also can make entrees gluten free

Zinc Cafe & Market in Corona Del Mar is a hidden gem that offers a unique and unforgettable brunch experience. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food make it a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike. The cafe features an outdoor patio and the interior has a charming decor and a warm ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The menu is filled with fresh, healthy, and flavorful options that cater to all dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free options. The coffee is also exceptional, making it a perfect spot for a morning pick-me-up. Mimosas are my friends favorite. The market, located adjacent to the cafe, is a delightful place to browse through a carefully curated selection of gourmet food, artisanal cheeses, and specialty items. The staff are knowledgeable and always ready to help you find that perfect item. What I appreciate the most about Zinc Cafe & Market is the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the experience, from the thoughtful presentation of the food to the beautiful decor. It's evident that the owners have a passion for creating a unique and memorable experience for their customers. Overall, I highly recommend Zinc Cafe & Market to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. The food, atmosphere, and service are top-notch, and the market is an added bonus that makes it a destination worth visiting again and again.

This restaurant is amazing! I left very happy and very full. The meals are a really decent size and the service was great. Our server Ethan was very helpful and helped me in fulfilling my allergy request for gluten free. The food was full of flavour! I have just returned from Vietnam myself and this was the best Vietnamese meal I have ever had. I highly recommended and look forward to returning in the near future. Shout out to our server Ethan, wonderful service and very attentive and helpful.

This place has the best customer service. They are amazing. And their gluten free buns top all!

Simarlin

Pizza options include gluten free crust with NO egg or dairy so it's safe for anyone with severe allergies to all these. In my attached picture the pizza in the back was one of those.

Nicholas Blackmore

The name did not sound promising and the location is hidden behind the car park of another restaurant - but despite our trepidation, this place turned out to be excellent for dinner. I had an excellent Reuben sandwich and my wife had plenty of gluten free options to choose from. Service was friendly.

Katherine Klammer

The service and atmosphere here is incredible. The outdoor seating area gives a nice portion to enjoy your experience outside. I had the turkey club on gluten-free bread with a side salad and a coconut macaroon with a mixed cold pressed juice to wash it all down. Every single bite and sip was incredibly delicious. I would absolutely eat here again. Highly recommend 💜

Kristen Campbell

Yesterday, Easter Brunch, certainly exceeded me and my whole families expectations. I can say to management, please update your online photos! Your establishment is so much prettier then those brown seats that you may have used to have. The dining is absolutely beautiful inside with very high end seating. If you are familiar with the RH cloud couches, some of their seating even looks like that. My family and I actually sat outside, but it was lovely. They had white linen cloths draping over the tables with beautiful Easter arrangements in the middle. A serenade during the whole event took place and the waiters worked so hard. I have a gluten intolerance so they had to accomodate an off menu item but it was literally the best burger I have ever eaten. No joke. All the kids slopped up their meals which some times can be hard to get done as they can be picky. I think the only plate that had anything left on it was my dad as he was having an emergency. All around what a great experience. There were fun crafts and games for the kids in back with face painting and the courtyard it took place in was so cool. A big fireplace lit with seats around it and a large screen tv to watch. I commend the super sweet women who put this event on. I wish I got her name, but she did an amazing job. I really can't say enough. This was for Easter and my Dad's birthday so we had many things to celebrate and so glad we did it herw! We all agreed that we will definitely be back to enjoy the ambiance and food again. Happy Easter!

Love this place! Holiday coffee is amazing! Deviled eggs, gluten free muffin, asparagus and mushrooms omelette are so delicious 😋!!!

The Party People Orange County

Wings were okay. I ordered gluten free pizza. They ruined it by adding 3 layers of extra moisture mozzarella cheese :( prices are high as well. 30 usd gluten free pizza, ate1 slice :/ trashed the rest. I like the service and vice. I heard table next to me saying the nachos are good so I’ll try next. Parking is 40 usd as well cash or Venmo only ..

Melissa Beulin

Good food. Easy to eat gluten and dairy free here. Be careful if you order a hot coffee not to burn your tongue/throat on it... Ours was finally drinkable when it was time to go. It was good though!

Eva Sargent

Brian Center

Good food, but maybe a little pricy compared to to other kabob options. Really easy to eat gluten free here. 😁

Mariah Ahmed

So many delicious gluten free options to choose from!! The owner/chef is very friendly and knows her menu inside out. One of the few places in OC at which I can not only safely eat, but also truly enjoy the food! Easily my favorite spot to eat at Fashion island.

Vanessa D

A little bit pricey compared to some chain breakfast spots, but portions are extremely generous. The food is all made fresh and well worth the price, as most breakfasts include a side and toast along with a generous entree. My husband was excited that they give you the option of a biscuit with gravy as your toast, while I was glad to be able to choose corn tortillas as my toast in order to avoid gluten. Service was fantastic and the environment is very welcoming and relaxed. Side note - while the menu still shows that bottomless mimosas are an option at certain times, we were informed that they are no longer able to serve bottomless due to insurance. They were able to do a bottle of champagne with sides of juice instead.

**Superb Dining Experience with a Minor Gluten-Free Shortcoming** A+O Restaurant | Bar provided me with an outstanding dining experience that showcased remarkable service, delectable food, and an exceptionally pet-friendly attitude. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this establishment truly values its patrons and their four-legged friends. The service was beyond exceptional - the staff's attention to detail and genuine warmth made me feel right at home. One gesture that particularly impressed me was their consideration for my furry companion. They didn't just welcome dogs, they went the extra mile by ensuring a fresh water dish was always available, enhancing the overall experience for both me and my pet. The highlight of the culinary journey was undoubtedly their recommended burger, which I found to be incredibly flavorful, even without the bun due to my gluten allergy. It's commendable that they cater to dietary restrictions, and the fact that I could enjoy a delicious meal while staying gluten-free was a major plus. Admittedly, some items on the menu were on the pricier side, but the quality of the food largely justified the cost. While my overall experience was exceptional, there was one minor drawback that prevented me from awarding a perfect rating. A+O Restaurant | Bar, unfortunately, lacks a variety of gluten-free options beyond salads. This limitation was a bit disappointing, especially given the effort they put into accommodating guests with allergies. Adding more diverse gluten-free choices to the menu would undoubtedly elevate the dining experience even further. In conclusion, A+O Restaurant | Bar is a standout establishment that combines impeccable service, fantastic pet-friendly features, and delectable food. My experience was near-perfect, and I'm particularly appreciative of their effort to cater to my gluten allergy. Though I'm docking one star due to the limited gluten-free options, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

Sarah Bernadette

Great spot. Got the macadamia nut milk in my cappuccino! (Gluten-free milk option for Celiacs like myself)

Jenae Reidy

The food was delicious! I had chips and guacamole, then carne asada street tacos with a side of beans. They have gluten-free items clearly marked on the menu. The wait staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We brought our golden retriever. They treated her very well! Will definitely return again!

Wonderful selection with vegan and gluten free options and very tasty food without going bankrupt.

Norma Ruiz

Rose Jannuzzi

I absolutely love, especially as they have great gluten free pasta as I am celiac. The creamy Romano sauce is amazing and my personal favorite. One of the best Italian restaurants on the west coast!

Tori Petersen

We loved it here! They swap out any sandwich with gluten free bread. Most GF bread I've tried at other places falls apart, but this one was great! Super yummy

Eric Burt

They have really good fries that they fry in peanut oil. Gluten free options for burgers include iceburger buns. Some locations have milkshakes that are pretty good!

Catherine Donna

Fresh ingredients and accommodate a variety of diets, Keto & gluten free, which I'm not on. I have been here several times after hiking in the area. The oatmeal is pretty good. Just had poached eggs on toast with prosciutto on my last visit and it was delicious.
