In the area from out of town and googled gluten free option for one of our group. Pleasantly surprised by the quality, taste and presentation of our meals.

Amazing little coffee shop gem set in a beautiful, quaint neighborhood in Pleasant Hill. Delicious coffee and quick, healthy breakfast options, many gluten-free offerings, very friendly (and stylish) staff, and chill music! What’s not to love? I’m obsessed with their GF waffles with nut butters and fruit topped on them. I’d complain about the lack of indoor seating but the weather in the area is often so nice it’s no problem to sit outside if you can find a place.

Best gluten free pizza in this area!

I wanna give them a 4.5. I've had like half of the menu, the only thing I flat out didn't like was on the early bird. It was clearly seasoned for a retirement home. Otherwise, you're not gonna get a bad meal. The pasta here is really good and I was actually surprised that I liked the gluten-free pasta as well when I tasted it. Salmon salad, chili mac, the hangover and the Tutto Mare are probably my favs. They'll go above and beyond if you have celiac's like my friend does. She never gets sick here.

Great options for someone with celiacs disease. They have a dedicated GF area. The service was exceptional. Highly recommend.

Their gluten free crust is INCREDIBLE. I checked my receipt about 3 times just to be sure, that's how good it is. Normally, gluten free pizza crust tastes like bread flavored cardboard. This? This was spectacular. Felt like the real thing. I'm only ordering from Melo's from now on.

Pleasant Hill, CA. Tzunun exploded on the dining scene in 2022 and quickly became a foodie destination in Northern California for its vibrant cocktails and visionary dishes inspired by the less-well known regions of Mexico. Its young chef and owner, Jesus Wence, focuses on sustainability and modern Mexican cuisine. His family owns the popular Wence’s restaurant and they hail from the Mexican state of Michoacan. I sat on the rustic covered deck outside which still felt like an upscale space. Service was flawless, Angel and his team were all professional and genuinely friendly. The wild mushroom tacos were perfectly seasoned, deftly put together so each ingredient shined: the thick, soft house made blue corn tortilla had melted mild cheese on it so the moist mushrooms didn’t make it fall apart, and the julienned deep fried crispy leeks added a touch of salt and oniony flavor. I could eat those every day. Oh, the blue corn is gluten-free non-GMO heirloom corn imported from farmers in Mexico whose families have farmed for generations. I also tried the Mexican street corn ribs and the house made potato chips (they were out of yucca chips) with organic salsa roja. I’d have to say I like my Mexican street corn homemade because I shamelessly slather on more mayonnaise and Tajin. Since you have to eat these with your hands you might not want to order these on a date. But this is a family restaurant (fur babies and children enjoyed the deck with their loved ones today) and eating with one’s hands is a delight for the young at heart. The corn ribs had wonderful flavor. The potato chips were generous in portion but not salted so the salsa roja came to the rescue. It was very good. You can confidently bring your foodie friends to Tzunun for a fresh culinary adventure. Highly recommended.
