Classic spot, went for breakfast. They now have gluten free pancakes and toast. Big plus for our family. 3 of us have Celiac.

Satisfy your morning cravings, let me explain… I love visiting Julie's Coffee & Tea Garden, and it's always a delightful experience. This cozy café is located in a cute historic house, giving it a charming and inviting atmosphere. There is an open back patio, which is a hidden gem, and once inside can be accessed by walking down a short corridor. As a coffee lover, I have to say the lattes are top-notch. The baristas are skilled in creating a variety of different drinks, and my go-to is the dirty chai, which has a rich and bold flavor. They also have a great selection of loose-leaf teas, which I've heard are tasty too. The pastries are also quite delicious and typically made fresh daily. My favorite is the scone and Devonshire cream, which I always make sure to ask to be warmed. The sandwiches are very tasty, with a variety of options including vegetarian and gluten-free options. The grilled cheese is particularly tasty with aged white cheddar melted between two slices of buttered sour-wheat bread! If you're looking for something homier and breakfast oriented I also recommend the baked eggs, which typically have a seasonal vegetable as a main ingredient. The service at Julie's is friendly and attentive. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. Overall, if you are visiting Alameda, or are a local, I highly recommend visiting Julie's Coffee & Tea Garden for breakfast and brunch. The café offers so much (including wine and alcoholic beverages) that I highly recommend this location for any casual meetup and gathering. Seating can be limited though. You won't be disappointed! The Local Secret 🤫 Order a head of time for pickup!

Very clear gluten free options on the menu! Service was excellent - they made me a custom non-alcoholic beverage and offered to take it back if it didn't taste good. Lovely atmosphere. Potato pancakes are amazing.

David Roza

Fantastic pizza in a beautiful former bank building. The gluten free pizza is also great and don't leave without trying the orange soda

Ann Hajostek

Got an amazing gluten free pasta dish with a side salad.

Kelsey Rudd

The best cupcakes! I've used Doodlecakes twice for a baby shower (mama-to-be was vegan and gluten free) and a bridal shower. I had multiple people come up and ask where I got the cupcakes saying they're the best cupcakes they've ever had. If you're looking for dessert for an event, look no further!

Kristina Setka

Delicious veggie omelette with gluten-free toast, others ordered French onion soup, salad, avocado toast and lattes. Good quality, matches the price. Expect a long wait

Isaac T. Ojikutu

Large Gluten Free Pizza enough said!!!!

Jasmine Phillips

Ladies were nice and they had soooo many gluten free flavor options and gluten free cones!! I had matcha green tea and GF oreo…it was so delicious!

Rod Pontemayor

Looking for delicious vegan food in Alameda? This spot has it. Potato curry roll, tofu spring roll, garlic noodles and tofu stir fry vermicelli was so good! Seasoned perfectly and portions are just right. Very satisfying. Lots of gluten free options as well.

Always a good time. Love that they have two gluten free crust options and ricotta... And whole garlic. Delicious. Big parking lot too. Open 7 days a week. I recommend going online to see their ordering options because you get to see all the sauces and types in a list which the wall menu doesn't really offer.

As a Colombian living in the Bay Area I thought I had found the glory. I thought I was going to go and expect real Colombian bakery, but that wasn’t the case. First, the atmosphere wasn’t all that and I believe it had to do with the service, they were not that friendly. Second, the food was not that great. The pan de bono, which I was going for was disgusting. Luckily, I had ordered other things, but were just OK. I mean, for each their own, but this place is fake Colombian food. Even if they are trying be in the“gluten-free” wave, they should also have options of authentic Colombian things, that way people get a real taste of Colombian goodness.

Kayla McKervey

Really enjoyed the sizzling bibimbap. Had it with gluten free pork belly. It was delicious! The menu was clearly labeled what was GF and what wasn't. Awesome!

Geronimo Carlo Ramos

This vibrant Lao eatery has become a favorite spot for my family and me, offering bold flavors that resonate with our Filipino palates. The liberal use of fish sauce in their dishes creates a delightful umami-rich experience. Standout dishes: 1. Pad See Ew Beef: Perfectly balanced savory notes complement the soft, wide rice noodles. It's not overly sweet, allowing the flavors to shine. 2. Crispy Eggrolls: Served with fresh veggies and herbs for wrapping, these crunchy rolls are elevated by the accompanying dipping sauce. Pros: - Quick, attentive service - Accommodating of dietary restrictions (gluten-free options available) - Authentic Lao cuisine Cons: - The space gets quite noisy when busy - Parking can be challenging The restaurant tends to be packed during dinner hours, which contributes to a somewhat loud atmosphere. The high ceilings, while visually appealing, do amplify the noise. One unexpected touch is the single TV in the dining area, which adds a casual element to the ambiance. During our last visit, it was showing the Olympics. Overall, this place offers a solid dining experience with excellent Lao cuisine. If you can manage the occasionally hectic atmosphere and potential parking issues, you'll be rewarded with flavorful dishes and efficient service. It's a worthy destination for those seeking authentic Lao flavors in a lively setting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Terrific service and gluten free options! The seafood and all the food was terrific!

I love this restaurant! I eat here regularly and I'm never disappointed. The service is amazing. Staff are so sweet and attentive, and they always accept changes to dishes for allergies or taste preferences. My dad is celiac and can eat practically everything on the menu here--huge range of gluten free options. I'm vegan and there are also so many delicious dishes I can eat, including their vegan al pastor street tacos (which are to die for) and huevos rancheros. They always accommodate my no dairy preference, even when I order online for takeout. Canasta Kitchen also has outdoor seating, which is so nice when the sun is out. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Nice little bakery with great prices for their breads and other items. We were a bit late in the day so many of the daily specials were sold out. I got a cinnamon roll, sticky bun bread pudding, and a pumpkin muffin. The pumpkin muffin had no wheat and since it could come into contact with wheat it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I liked the orange icing on the cinnamon roll but would have liked more cinnamon in the roll. My favorite was the sticky bun bread pudding! I ate half of it cold and the other half microwaved and loved it both ways. I wish that there was a table or two inside.

Cara Hawkins

Our go to for pizza here on Bay Farm. Hand tossed crust is the way to go! I've recently developed a gluten allergy and their gluten free crust is a life saver.

Bambi Boyer

Donna Cowan

Many good choices on menu, reasonable prices friendly staff, good location. I needed gluten free pasta and they had that option. It was the best gluten free I've had.

Kir * (DragonSnail46)

Well today it was 4 or 5 stars, usually it's 3 stars but wow those scallops today wowowowow The scallops were savory. Usually it's been mediocre and expensive but today it was delicious but just a bit expensive. I would prefer more ginger given. A tad limited when ordering if you're gluten-free, although I'm told they have gluten free soy sauce. If you are gluten free, don't eat the salad. (And if you mention you're gluten free, they'll give you the salad without the dressing.) Fast and friendly service though. My lunch order was $13 for the menu option titled " "Scallops."

They have lots of gluten free options and they have great food. Amazing flavor!

The day before Thanksgiving, I was able to waltz in at opening time and purchase several beautiful epi baguettes and indulge in an amazing almond croissant. The tiny shop front belies the larger bakery to the rear as their products go out to other locations richer in display area but paupers in oven space. A past reviewer had disparaged the lack of labelling of the display section which has since been rectified -no, no sandwiches. The ladies commandeering the register and displays were kind, attentive, and friendly and put some real effort into making me a pour-over coffee- which I only indulged in because there was no line. The fresh delivery of palettes of organic bread flour outside their door that morning verified the claim of all organic bread (though pastry flour is more of a mystery). There is a certain minimal indulgence towards the gluten sensitive crowd, but seriously, an entire alternate business could set up in town to take up the torch for our gluten avoiding friends and neighbors. Business opportunity knocking, -anyone? The almond croissant was buttery, flakey and perfectly laminated, the filling generous and enriched with an additional flavor alongside the almond that still escapes me but was delightfully memorable and intriguing. We are grateful to have Feel Good on our shores and their goods on our tables.

Tasty fish, friendly service, Gluten free options

This cafe is across the street from Hampton Inn near Oakland Airport. It's outdoor with plastic tent for shelter. There is a take out option. The food is delicious. Salad Verte has amazing chicken breast. Service is superb, Gluten free options are available. This was recommended by a local who was spot on.

The turnaround on my order was much quicker than expected. I got a half dozen of the peach cobbler cupcakes in gluten free & vegan & they were delicious! I can’t believe how moist & rich the flavors were. I will order again soon

Shane Sweeney

The staff was super sweet and I found the selections good. Plenty of gluten free options

Jean Lund

Clean, knowledge​ about gluten in food, really good feeling hours after eating.

When I first stumbled up Scolari's they were known for serving the best strombolis. These days those strombolis are a special item that I always have to get when available, or get them at Marley G's across the street. While the menu changed, they still serve really good good. The burgers are delicious and can be a bit tall. The chicken sandwich is something to also order. But, the fries is something that I always get. Just don't forget to ask for aoli versus ketchup. They alsoserve a particular local brand of delicious soda that I've only had in a handful of places. The Alameda Soda company is made with real sugar and is gluten free, made in small batches.

Krystal Kavney

I was very impressed with the flavors and quality of all the dishes I have had. Also, getting gluten-free options is easy. Toomie’s is my FAVE Thai place!

M S

Gorgeous historic place. Not too many gluten free options but they try to be accommodating! Best lamb burger I've had in ages!

Rachel Kindos

The have gluten free bread!!! Diana was lovely. We had a great meal and they were kind to our pup. The fig and prosciutto sandwich is delicious- a must try

Lynne Madera

Absolutely the best...and they have gluten free soy sauce!

Alma R

This place is excellent! Ingredients are always fresh and abundant, the cooks and cashier are warm and helpful, and the prices are very low for what you get. Great for folks who need a gluten free diet, and of course for anyone who can enjoy wheat flour too.

Aria Pipp

ADDICTING Burmese food! So good you can’t stop thinking about it! Incredible vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The tea leaf salad is incredible as well as the rainbow salad! Good drinks and atmosphere. Sometimes a longer wait on the weekends but well worth the wait. Lastly - you must try the coconut rice! Now go get yourself some Burma!

karolyn van putten

Some tasty, almost wholesome dishes, as restaurant menus go. Low carb, low calorie, and gluten-free options. Even though it looked different served than the picture shown, the Blackened Cajun salmon with broccoli and smashed garlicky potatoes worked for me. Attentive wait staff and a new way to pay with a small digital terminal installed near the middle of the table.

Evette Meuse

They have a variety Gluten Free options which is awesome. Curry bowl with tofu add zucchini add beans add side of corn tortillas with their spicy green salsa. Never disappointed and always excellent customer service.

Sarah Murray

I am a regular at East End because I think they provide the best overall atmosphere, food and value in Alameda. The menu is small but everything on it is excellent and well thought out. There are dishes good for children and good for grown-ups. What are plenty of meat dishes on the menu, a vegetarian can also assemble a very nice meal that doesn't stint on variety or flavor. For people who don't want to be around kids there's a wonderful long bar that's great for eating drinking and, if you like, conversation. Their cocktail program is simply one of the finest in San Francisco, They also have a well curated selection of wine, beers and ales and nonalcoholic drinks. The space is light and airy and relatively quiet. The service is attentive and professional. My only wish is that they had a gluten-free crust for their wonderful pizza.

Dani Foreman

Lots of delicious gluten free options! The coconut rice and walnut shrimp was amazing!

steph

great views, great food. gluten free pasta tastes great, the caprese is classic, and although my bf would've liked more raviolis than 4, the taste made up for it! can't wait to come back next time we're in Alameda!

Cecile Walker

I've always loved Jim's on Lincoln and a number of years ago when they opened Jim's On the Course it became my go-to place for a good breakfast or lunch and sitting outside enjoying the sunshine and warm weather in Alameda! My recent visit did not disappoint: I had the waffle combo that includes your choice of either bacon, link sausage, or sausage patties; I had the latter and a big cup of coffee. Delicious as always! I'm dining partner is gluten free and ordered breakfast with gluten-free bread that she said was the best she'd had and she wondered what kind it was... We'll have to find out! Highly recommend Jim's at either location!

Scott Ford

The fish tacos are amazing! They are light and crispy. We also shared some plantains and yucca fries for the center. My wife is vegan and gluten free and had great tofu tacos. Highly recommended!!

This place is amazing! Our non-profit had an event and needed catering for 200 people. Victor, the owner, was super accommodating and made the whole thing a success. He set up the menu (including gluten free and vegetarian options), made more than enough food for us, and made the whole process overall very seamless. Everyone raved about the food. 10/10 recommend!
