We had a fantastic dinner here! Our waitress, Katy, was excellent. She was able to tell me all the gluten-free options on the menu. The menu had so many good options it was hard to decide! The atmosphere was great as well. I would definitely recommend trying this place out!

We’re done with pizza. We are a calzone family now. This place is amazing. The staff is super helpful and friendly. All our food was delicious. The gluten free calzone dough is INCREDIBLE. Great selection of craft soda on tap. We will be back again and again.

On a sunny morning on May 7th I came into Rosie's Carmel based on a recommendation of their delicious gluten free options. Joy! As the gentlemen in front of me was being sat up front, after being asked if he wanted to sit at the counter or table. A blonde middle aged server acknowledged me and didn't offer me a table option. I was quickly escorted to the very back of the establishment up against a wall facing the kitchen. Which I now realize was the worst seat in the place. She turned and left with barely a word. As the realization washed over me. It was a weekday, so lots of great open seating options. ALL of the other customers were up front. Coming from Hawaii, I understand I live in a bubble of kindness and diversity. And, for the first time in over 50 years of sheltered life, I realized what this felt like. As a strong independent women, I thought I would be able to handle being treated like I was less of a person. I would like to say I was strong. But, I wasn't. I decided to leave, and politely said I had changed my mind. The blonde middle aged lady just said "okay" with a don't let the door hit you on the way out attitude. As a broken women for the day, I ended up at Caffe Buondi. They sat me next to a friendly man with a barbell mustache. We had a conversation and he remarked how I had ordered his favorite, a Monica (Vegetarian) Frittata, served in a cast iron skillet. You see he goes there twice a week, so he knows his stuff. I also had great service at RiZE Carmel, they have a great Veggie Omelette, that comes with their house salad, highly recommend!

An item on the menu was denoted as gluten free and it was not, resulting in severe illness due to celiac disease. When the restaurant was called and notified, they said the GF next to the item was actually only referring to a footnote indicating that options were available. I told the manager that the GF next to an item usually means that it is gluten free at every restaurant in which I have ever dined. I also stated that this confusion resulted in illness and that the menu should be clarified immediately. I will not be dining here again due to their laissez faire attitude toward this serious issue.

Really nice restaurant, excellent smash burgers and fries! They even made my burger as a lettuce wrap burger to accommodate my gluten allergy. Highly recommended!

I thought their burritos were good, but today, they food at Crazy King went to a whole new level. I tried burrito bowl number 5. It was So Good!! It perfectly blended rice, beans, toppings, cheese, and a fantastic sauce! As an added bonus, they also have great options that are safe for my wife, who needs to eat gluten-free due to Celiac disease. The owner of Crazy King took her on a kitchen tour to show her their safety protocols. She came away impressed with the care that they take to make sure people with gluten allergies can eat safely! They also have a fantastic drink selection with unique drinks that you won't find at most restaurants. Drink options include alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic options. Food that tastes great and is safe for my wife means we will need to add regular Crazy King visits to our budget, and we both are happy to do that.

It's a hidden gem you might miss if you aren't careful. The team is friendly and genuinely happy to see you when come in. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are good, if not generous. I had the breakfast tacos which were packed with great ingredients. As a bonus, they have gluten-free options such as French Toast and corn tortillas. The cafe is clean and cozy with comfortable seating and pleasing decor. This is an affordable choice with great food options, and I will definitely be back.
