Linnea's is my favorite cafe! So many tea options, and the workers are welcoming and nice! The back garden is very relaxing and a great place to study or catch some live music. Many vegan and gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. Tea and coffee loyalty cards can help you save some money if you become a repeat customer (like me)!

Went in for a late lunch on a Tuesday. It was pretty quiet with just some regulars. I got a gluten free Luna burger. It was excellent!! My boyfriend got the Bogy burger and some onion rings and thoroughly enjoyed both as well. I wish we had saved room for a milkshake because they looked delicious. The staff was excellent but Jenny, in particular, is an absolute gem! Soooo kind, friendly, and attentive. Would 100% go back!

skip the gluten-free pancakes :( Dry and tasteless gf pancakes, and I know from experience that good gf pancakes are attainable with the right ingredients. They were a nice size, though. Plus, the waitress ignored my request for more syrup and butter, which is a very unusual request coming from me, but something had to be done to those discs! LOL

The boneless wings are coated and fried in a gluten free flour and taste great! The staff were very kind about confirming with the kitchen that the wings were indeed gluten free. The manager even came out with the recipe for the wings.

We had breakfast here yesterday and it was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was just what I had been hoping for after all these years of driving by and wanting to stop but never making time before. We sat right next to the big stone fireplace, under a beautifully carved wooden detail. It is Kitchy, over the top and absolutely perfect. There were pink sprinkles on the table in a shaker... I mean hello!! Our server was Sierra, she was FANTASTIC. Our daughter is gluten/wheat free due to an allergy and she was so helpful and accommodating. She had no problem verifying with the kitchen if items contained wheat for the breakfast sundae and when the granola was determined to contain wheat she happily substituted gluten free toast on the side. She also brought out a raspberry preserve for the toast which was great. All the cakes looked too delicious and we took Sierra's recommendation of the toffee crunch cake to split between my husband, son and I. It was probably one of the best cakes I have ever had. No gluten/wheat free dessert options unfortunately. My husband, daughter and son all loved their meals. The cakes sealed the deal for me, but the great service is most definitely the reason I give them 5 stars.

My girlfriend and I, along with our two dogs made a stop here after exploring the many trials of Los Osos has to offer. We built up an appetite. Open entering we were greeted by our host - the place had a very cool vibe, he was very friendly and greeted us with a smile, he immediately offered up a water bowl to our dogs - this was b4 we had the chance to ask him if the establishment was dog friendly ✅. We were lead to the counter where we placed our orders. Tri-tip French dip, chicken salad and a couple cups of pozole + a couple glasses of wine. Seating was plentiful and comfortable but mostly outdoors. We found a table and waited for our order, both our dogs got their own seats :) The ambiance at this place is awesome; very cool art, fun and edgy decor and awesome music - we heard mostly 90’s: alt and hip hop. Rage against the machine comes to mind. The food came out quickly and with a smile. Tri-dip dip dip was insanely good and made with gluten free bread, chicken salad was on point and the pozole was hellza legit; it also came with a side of their sourdough which was extremely good. Beerwood is a wonderful establishment. Will plan another visit next time I’m in town

Not many vegetarian and no gluten-free options. I had a salad and threw about four dried shrimp on top. The skinny drinks with gin were very good! It was way too hot which was not their fault and we should have sat outside. And it was very loud

Other reviews do a great job of describing how good the food is. True! I just want to add that the menu does accommodate those of us who are gluten intolerant. Both the breakfast and lunch menus include gf choices. They also toast up gf croutons for their [generous] salads. I take home loaves of their delicious gf breads, slice them up and freeze some of the slices to toast later. Some days they have gf cookies, also. They are generous with samples if you want to make sure you will like your order.

As a native northeastener, good east coast thin crust is hard to find in California. The pizza here is delicious. Had the sausage and pepperoni - just the right amount of char, very tasty, ate the whole thing in record time and will come back for more. Friendly fast service too and there’s a gluten free crust option. Hot tip: get your pizza to go and hit the great cider selection at Cider Bar next door, if you like cider you’ll be glad you did. A+ recommended!

Legitimately the best poke bowl I've had from Hawaii to New York. As of today, for $21.95 you get 4 large scoops of protein plus 3 sides which can also be protein like spicy tuna or avocado or mac salad. All of the sauces are gluten free and made with tamari! Only a couple items weren't gluten free, such as the fish eggs. I felt like I was waddling out of this place it was so filling the entire day. I absolutely will be back! PS: the don't take cash so make sure you have a card.

Stopped for first time Sunday at 12:30. Extremely busy, but a lot of staff. Had to wait a long time for breakfast because I think they forgot ours at first. Coffee pots were out and would be nice if they offered a gluten free bagel sandwich or gf bread option.

I love pizza. I seriously love it. I consider it one of the greatest creations of mankind. We usually order pizza once per week for our movie nights. Before Bravo opened up we usually ordered from Nucci's on Broad, and if we went out we usually went to Petra's. Gino's for after sports events (great pizza plus the arcade games). Having lived in the Midwest 10 years, I appreciate a classic non-nonsense good pizza. I love foodie pizzas too (Flour House is great), but my favorite is still a classic pizza. When Bravo opened up it was quite a bit closer to us than Nucci's, so we thought we'd give it a shot, expecting we'd probably stick with Nucci's since we really liked their pizza as well. Turns out the entire family loves Bravo pizza more than any other pizza place in town. My wife enjoys their salads, and often orders a fancier pizza (cauliflower crust, gluten free, supreme, BBQ, white sauce, you name it) whereas I typically go with the classic--pepperoni, sometimes cheese. Best pizza in SLO in my humble opinion. For a classic pizza, you can't beat Bravo. Fair price, always friendly staff.

Great breakfast spot! I have gone here many times over the past 20 years since I was a student at Cal Poly and it never disappoints! I usually get the Buzz Burrito with chorizo, it is very filling and I could barely finish it! You could even share that with a friend. My wife is Gluten Free so they made her the Buzz Burrito without the tortilla. Basically the burrito filling on a plate and she really liked it. They have your standards like omelettes, Benedicts, scrambles, fruit juice, coffee, etc. On the weekends it can be REALLY popular and you might have to wait. They don't take reservations. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Friendly staff, good service. Highly recommend!

On our last visit we asked Doi to just bring us her choice. Absolutely amazing. We brought company from out of town and they were so impressed. The curry was delicious (gluten free) and the vegetable dish was so fresh and flavorful. The fried wontons are addictive and the Crispy Calamari is to "die for."
