I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.

Best gastropub/high-end comfort food/small plates for celiac folks! The churros and mac & cheese are a MUST HAVE!

Cora, the manager at this Culver City location, is awesome. I have a severe food allergy and Cora checked ingredients thoroughly before I ordered. And there was an issue with the payment terminal when I went to pay and Cora resolved the issue super professionally and kindly --- honestly just an experience that made my day. Highly recommend MOD as an affordable, yummy for anyone with a gluten allergy.

Absolutely beautiful space and such amazing food. I have celiac disease, and it's such a relief to find such divine eats that keep me safe. So much yum!! Thank you Tocoya Organica!

FABIOLA SAJA

Small but characteristic atmosphere, a little slow due to the fact that there is always a lot of people, very good hamburger even gluten-free

They have gluten free pizza! It's delicious! Ordered the Grandma's and the Sicilian!

I was very happy with the flavors of the red ramen, and the bold ramen was good, too. Each ramen can be custom ordered with a variety of configurations and additions, including gluten free noodles. Service is outstanding, although I didn't care much for the discomfort of the space due to how small it is inside. Well worth a visit especially during hours when it isn't so busy.

My wife and I loooove Just What I Kneaded (the pop tarts are insane; the crunch wraps are a MUST!) and Justine's Wine Bar (all around one of our favorite date spots), but I'm writing this review specifically to rave about the amazing and most perfect wedding cake that Kneady Cakes/ Just What I Kneaded created for our wedding day! Our cake was vegan and gluten free - we wanted gluten free since my mother is celiac (she was very grateful for a GF cake and she loved it!). The cake was moist and delicious! We were all very impressed with the gluten free option - There honestly was no difference in the gluten free and the regular cake. And it felt "lighter" to eat! We opted for a lemon cake with lemon custard and raspberry jam on the bottom layer and chocolate with raspberry jam filling on the top layer. It was insanely delicious and beautifully decorated with frosting succulents to match the desert theme of our wedding. The Kneady Cakes team packaged it carefully and it was sturdy + easy to transport in an insulated box all the way to Joshua Tree. We had a wonderful time with our cake tasting, which consisted of trying cake samples via 6 different flavors of cupcakes accompanied with jars of jam and custards. It was difficult to choose, but we're so happy with our decision! The lower layer of our cake was 8" and the top was 6". We were able to cut about 30-40 slices, easy. For a 15 person wedding, it was a perfect amount for everyone to enjoy a few slices + we had extra to freeze for our anniversary. Everyone LOVED the cake (they are still raving about it!) and it was a highlight of the post-ceremony celebration! We are SO happy to have purchased our cake from Kneady Cakes. We can't recommend getting a wedding cake(s) from Kneady Cakes enough! Worth every penny. We'll be back for birthday cakes in the near future. We are lucky to have such a fantastic bakery and such an amazing team of bakers in east LA!

Absolutely top tier gluten free breakfast burritos. The Mediterranean flavors of the Hiho wrap were awesome and everything was super fresh and well made. Pretty much everything can be made GF here so I highly recommend for anyone with celiacs.

Edward Lucarini

Excellent gluten free options.

Julieta Mariotti

Very good place for breakfast. Varied food and many Gluten Free options, which is difficult to find

Natalie Hampton

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!

Nancy Nguyen

Being allergic of Gluten isn’t so bad anymore now that I’ve found this place. As a former Fried Chicken connoisseur, the rice flour chicken is delicious and even crispier than regular fried chicken. It’s great Fried Chicken in general, you’d never know. Super flavorful. I like the regular plain flavor or honey garlic. It’s all amazing!

Edward Lucarini

Excellent gluten free options.

We had a very nice server and there’s a great ambiance at Scopa, perfect for dates and connecting with friends alike. They have a gorgeous bar, large window, candles on the tables, and all of our food came perfectly coursed. We were easily able to make a same-day reservation via the Resy app, and I do recommend making a reservation in advance because it was popping when we arrived. For parking, you can either park in the connected valet lot ($13 on a Monday) or look for free street parking (we found it pretty easily, but then again it was a Monday). There are the top four absolute must-order items you should order to share: 1. Hot Antipasti - Scallops Oreganata ($23) with brown butter, bread crumbs, & lemon. I’m gluten free so I asked for no breadcrumbs, and I also recommend ordering a side of gluten free bread to dip in the brown butter after you finish enjoying the scallops because they have the absolute best gluten free cheesecheese bread! They only came with 2 scallops in an order so consider ordering enough so each person can have at least 1 full scallop. 2. Hot Antipasti - Mortadella Meatballs ($21) with pistachio pesto, arugula, & parmesan cheese. This came with 3 medium-large sized meatballs covered in a delicious green pesto - don’t let looks deceive you, even if this isn’t how you expect meatballs to look they’re delish. 3. Cold Antipasti - Heirloom Tomatoes ($18) with sweet onion, basil, ricotta salata cheese, sherry vinegar, & olive oil. If you enjoy tomatoes of all shapes and sizes, this is the dish for you. My favorite were the little orange tomatoes. 4. Salad - Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad ($22) with generous pecorino romano cheese, parsley, grapes, olive oil, sherry vinegar, & toasted almonds. This was a good portion size and the best raw Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. While I did really enjoy the flavor of oysters themselves and their sauces, and I do want to put them as item 5 to order, each of the oysters had some shell bits had to spit out, and it only came with 1 spoon and 0 mini forks. The oysters come with lemon slices, cocktail sauce, shredded horseradish, mignonette, and are $4.50 each with a minimum of 6. I would order them again, but enjoy them carefully and hope that they’re shucked better next time. However… Maybe things were off because it was a Monday and they had multiple large last minute parties walk in. Maybe I should have gone for the pastas instead of the below because it is an Italian restaurant. Maybe I’m just a person who enjoys more seasoning on seafood or less sauce on pork chops, but a few of the dishes weren’t exactly as good as I was expecting. Unless you love canned tuna, absolutely avoid the Sicilian Tuna Cold Antipasti ($19) with market green beans, fingerling potato, capers, lemon, & olive oil. It wasn’t until we mentioned to our server our strong disappointment with the dish, as we were expecting either Tuna Crudo or Seared Tuna, that our server told us that he usually steers guests away from it. It also had zero seasoning, and boy did it need it. It also feels like this dish should have automatically been served with crackers. The Amberjack Crudo ($25) with watermelon radish, bulls blood micro greens, & herb oil needed a combo-sauce or a stronger flavored oil, as it was very bland as-is. Luckily not a fishy-fish, but still lackluster for their only fish crudo on the menu. For the Mains, they were already sold out of the 24oz T-bone Steak ($82) when we arrived, and the server recommended the Pork Chop. The generous portion of Pork Chop ($66) came with crispy fingerling potatoes, roasted shallots, olives, capers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, & fresh herbs. The balsamic was more of a thick, sweet, heavy glaze, and it overpowered the meat. Personally, we both felt it was over-sauced.

Best gluten free tenders one could ask for

Great service, good food, lovely setting! We used to come here often when we lived in the neighborhood but we hadn't been in a while. Loved the improvements they've made since our last visit - especially the gluten free options on the menu! Would love to know which items are soy free as well. Thank you!

Mary Cellini

Always delicious and plenty of vegan/gluten free options, so I am here a lot. Great staff and music. My visit is always a treat.

Juan Alvarado

I did not have any expectations coming into this restaurant, but little did I know that I was going to have a spectacular brunch at this fine place! Not only was the service amazing because of our server who was attentive and bubbly, but the food which was fantastic. I tried the hazelnut latte and Minted matcha iced latte which were both very delicious. The matcha had a subtle sweetness, tartness and was just so smooth and rich. Aside from the drinks, the appetizers were jaw dropping. The grilled cheese dippers was inexplicably delectable, there was so much flavor and the garlic aioli added such a beautiful essence to the dish. Grilled cheese done the right way! The pumpkin chai hotcakes were vegan and gluten free, tasted sweet and felt like autumn with each bite. It was a very enjoyable item and I highly recommend it if you enjoy a sweet treat. Lastly was the rustic wagyu steak sandwich. I was a bit weary about it since i'm not a big blue cheese person, but I was truly astonished by how much the flavors were enhanced by the sour taste of the cheese! It really turned out to be such a flavorful experience. I had such a great experience here and I would definitely suggest trying this place if you haven't already!

Nice cafe with cool interior. I had a good coffee and my wife has ordered a gluten free “fritt-omelette” which according to her was really good :)

Luciana Andrade

I’m leaving this bad review here so that Great White hopefully fixes its delivery and customer service. I’ve been a customer for many years and I will say: they have the worst service ever when it comes to ordering food through their app as they frequently forget to add the items (sides, sauces, key ingredients - you name it) you paid extra for. This time I ordered an avocado breakfast burrito that came without avocado, bacon and any sauce (it was just basically eggs, tortilla and potatoes). I paid $6 for 2 pieces of halloumi cheese. $2 for additional gluten free bread that didn’t come. Last few times? No bacon in the Great White breaky, no extra sauces (that we paid for) etc. You try to call any of their numbers and no member ever picks up. You email [email protected] and they simply don’t answer. There’s no refund option on their app. Their customer service is simply nonexistent.

Charlotte Thompson

Gluten free waffles aren’t coeliac safe, not cooked on a separate fryer

Julieta Rodriguez Groves

The best? They have a gluten-free menu. But I don't know how to find it in the main menu, you have to scan a QR or ask the waiter.

Chloe Rodgers

My friend and I came here awhile back to try to gluten free churros and were very impressed! Super cute atmosphere and fun place to hang out for a bit.

LJ

Went here today for breakfast and wow!! Great coffee, and the food was outstanding. A lot of gluten free options, and the service from Zoe was great. Staff were very friendly. See you next time 😉

Trey Patterson

Server natalie j was a gem! She was very careful with my Celiac disease. The food was great, the short rib was a little over done, however, the beverages were superb, and I had a great time overall!

Lisa M

All the broths are gluten free! Just be sure to mention to sub for gluten free noodles.

Adriana Lopez

If you’re looking for great Pizza with a pretty relaxed atmosphere this is your place. They offer Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free and regular options. They also carry a small selection of beer. If you’re Vegan I really recommend the Vegan Sicilian cheese, I also tried the veggie, pepperoni and mac and cheese but Sicilian cheese was definitely my favorite. My hubby is not Vegan and he also loved the none vegan options. They sell by the slice which works out great for us.

Good atmosphere, friendly servants, and great gluten-free menu.

Linda popaj

Jackie, the cashier and server is fabulous! She is so friendly and made us all feel very welcome. Service was great and the gluten free sandwich and side of potato salad was delicious. Definitely recommend and we will be back to see Jackie and try some more delicious food.

Andrew Grone

Anything but a safe restaurant - got terribly sick here last year and after many discussions with management, we realized the culprit was an item they marked and advertised as gluten free that straight up had real soy sauce in it. They were clueless as to what had or didn’t have gluten - and yet kept the item marked as gluten free for weeks until I finally got them to change it. Strong recommendation for celiacs to avoid after management changed years back. Eat at your own risk!

Maya Schneiderman

i love tocaya and eat there every time i’m in LA. i wish they had locations elsewhere! their GF tortilla is delicious and it’s so good to have a burrito again being gluten free! all allergens are on their website.

Tiffany Woods

Most of the menu is gluten free

My son wanted to have his birthday lunch at I Heart Mac & Cheese. It was our first time. This is a franchise location and the owner was very friendly and helpful. My husband ordered the short rib Philly mac & cheese with classic mac & cheese bacon jalapeño bites. The birthday boy had a build your own grilled cheese on Sourdough with white cheddar, yellow cheddar, mozzarella, muenster, and pepperoni, with classic mac& cheese bites, and tater tots. My younger son had build your own mac with pasta, cheese sauce, mojo pulled pork, white cheddar, Muenster, and bread crumbs. I had the classic mac and cheesy broccoli. The food was delicious. We were all happy. And, they serve Coke products. There are fountain and bottled options. Plus some kind of coffee machine. Parking in the structure behind the building was easy and free. Bonus, we happened to come in during happy hour (M-F 3-5), which my husband greatly appreciated and sealed the deal that we will be coming back. We saw that there were gluten-free and vegan options. Even options for making more of a protein bowl. I highly recommend you check this place out. Pictures show short rib Philly with bacon jalapeño bites (minus some that he gave to share), and the classic mac with cheesy broccoli. Sorry, I didn't get good pics of the others.

Natalie Hampton

Great gluten free options, knowledgeable staff, and even a selection of gluten free baked goods! The mochi cookies are AMAZING!

Brian Clark

Got the gluten free Combolini - best gluten free pancake I’ve ever had!

I ordered for pick up. The salmon salad and two slices of gluten free cake. All were good. I just wish their salmon had skin on it (crispy at that). And their carrot cake had more walnuts they were non existent in the slice I had only two tiny morsels of a walnut were detected. I called to check if their carrot had walnuts before buying because I do not like carrot cake without the nuts so that was a bummer. The taste was very good tho . The coconut cake was also very good just a touch dry. If it was a lil more moist it would’ve been perfection! Overall really good!! Was expensive tho. Those three items were $50. $14 a slice is ridiculous for a regular cake. Meaning no special ingredients. If it was grain free, no sugar added using coconut sugar monk fruit (pure) I could see that but a typical GF all purpose flour and regular sugar etc $14 is a bit much imo.

Elizabeth Tighe

Great Italian restaurant, enjoyed the good service. Really popular, whole place filled up by 6pm. I enjoyed the meatballs, portions were giant, could have fed a family. Wished there was a more keto offering, but hey it's an Italian restaurant known for good pasta dishes. Did offer gluten free pasta tho. Enjoyable.

Rose Metcalf

The menu is extensive! I love the Spinach Benedict and the strawberry french toast (both made gluten free) with their mimosa. This is the perfect weekend/ post-hike treat.

Ian Anderson

Seriously delicious and reasonably priced spot in Atwater with a window and outdoor seating only. The quality and quantity of food was excellent for the price. It’s hard to actually feel full with healthy food that’s actually delicious for under $20 these days. I subbed cucumber for pita bread for a gluten free option with the hummus and it was surprisingly filling. Highly recommend.

K.D. Anno

In & Out Burgers NEVER disappoint. Consistent flavor and freshness..sweet serving-crew..super popular place. My favorite burger. Best burger wrapped with lettuce for those who are gluten or dairy intolerant..tell them and they gladly accommodate.

Daniel Ball

Bestb meal ever. Burger. Sea bass sprouts. Gluten free. Dairy free. Gorgeous. creative. I'll be back soon.
