I LOVE having access to truly gluten free donuts! I cant find celiac safe donuts anywhere but here and its heaven.

*If you're ordering gluten free, cut the line straight to the register*- they need to start your order first and this instruction is on the board inside so you're not breaking the rules... But you won't see that until you've already waited in line and you'll have to do it twice. Fyi!

The food was very good, a little on the pricey side but worth it. Got the barbacoa lamb, and it was very tasty. Loved the homemade tortillas. The flan for dessert was very tasty and came with some strawberries on the side. Very good food, all gluten free.

Amazing, delicious, and healthy meals! Highly recommend this place for a very balanced meal that tastes great and feels great after! Meals come with generous portions of vegetables. They have vegan and gluten free options and accept online and group orders. Street parking and they have a clean seating area.

Robert Malnati

Fun outdoor patio with heaters and plants, great selection of beer, and a solid variety of wood oven fired foods. Gluten free and vegan friendly. We will be back.

Best Ethiopian Restaurant in the Bay Area hands down!!! Fresh ingredients, Great food, wonderful service and I love the decor! If you are a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan or gluten free like me you wouldn’t be disappointed if you choose this authentic Ethiopian restaurant! The friendly owner makes it more inviting and comfortable! I don’t live in the Bay Area but every time I go back the food is consistently delicious.The place is great for all people, couple, friends, families, officemates. It's just so great you got try it.

Ryan Linthicum

So delicious! The gluten free options were particularly tasty. We really like the falafel sandwich and the salads. Nice staff and welcome environment. Perfect for brunch or easy lunch. Not far from The museums too!

Deirdre O'Shea

A favorite for over 30 years. They recently catered a family event with vegans, vegetarians, Celiacs, a peacetarian, and omnivores. Everyone was delighted and satisfied. Le Med makes it all so easy and delicious.

Valentina Montagna

Incredible twist on vegan sushi, and extremely gluten-free/celiac friendly. This is not just rolls with veggies, the way the special rolls are constructed is unique, creating blends of flavors that are unmatchable. And gluten-free tempura!

I feel sorry for those that can’t eat gluten as you cannot experience the pure joy that is visiting Acme Bread. Everything is delicious with multiple items changing flavor daily. Their “pizza” slice is perfection. I always get at least one Madeline for the drive home. The staff is friendly and patient. Don’t fret if you show up and there’s a line, it moves quickly. It’s one of the few places still respecting masking and social distancing

Nonya Bisnus

Very yummy and wow the gluten free and vegetarian options!! Large portions and good for sharing. We had lots to take over after. 💗 Thank you

Sara A

I’m so happy i found this place the other day! I have Celiac disease so it’s hard to find places I can eat. I’ve been getting their carnitas tacos and rice. Delicious!

Sara Palmieri

Salvadoran cuisine is almost everything gluten free. Pupusas are the famous dishes and are corn based. Staff is very knowledgeable and have a different gluten free menu.

Patrick Varuzza

An lovely gem of Berkeley! Great variety of yummy rolls, apps, and sides. Friendly service will make you want to come back. My partner has celiac disease and the staff are knowledgeable about gluten free options and great at accommodating us. Fair prices and a nice atmosphere. Would recommend!

We came to try their gluten-free pancakes and waffles. The corn flour waffles were a bit too grainy and tough. The rice four pancakes were good, but not the best I've had. I was glad they also offered gluten-free toast. However, the menu has toast served with potatoes, which is too much starch for one meal. The place was tiny and cute and service was good. Overall nice atmosphere with mediocre breakfast.

Delta Kayler

Delicious 😋 hot sauce is hot. Horchata is a little different but rlly good and not too sweet Everything is gluten free

Zoë Long

yummy crepes :) and great gluten free options!

Lynn Luong

Came in to see their cake selection for a birthday celebration and the owner (I’m pretty sure the man helping me was the owner) was so nice describing each cake he had made for the day. I came earlier in the day so I had all the cakes to choose from, it looks like there’s maybe only one of each cake for each day. They had gluten free options too if that’s relevant to you. I ended up with the passionfruit cake and it was SO GOOD. Perfect amount of tropical fruit and creaminess without being too sweet (the highest of dessert compliments). It was a big hit! Would love to try the guava cheesecake for the next celebration.

Erica Mulkey (Unwoman)

The best service ever -- servers are extremely accommodating to all food allergies! Most dishes can be made gluten-free, and they can omit garlic and onions from many dishes as well if you have an allium intolerance. It's delicious too!!

Shauntrice Martin

Tried a new flavor for my milkshake (cookies n cream + blueberry cheesecake) and it BANGED. Plus the gluten free fudge cookies were actually good.

Erica Liske

The breakfast tacos are delicious

Ray Kubick

We ordered 3 par-baked pizzas, including one with gluten free crust, and all three were great. This is one of the best pizza restaurants I have ever tried!

Ru Oppenheimer

Iyasare is great because they are very diligent about gluten free safety and every gf item is clearly marked on the menu. The staff is familiar with celiac. Lots of options for a gluten free diner: about 3/4 of the menu is gluten free. The food is good!! Lots of options for both picky and adventurous eaters.

Sharon Vibbert

Great vegan and gluten-free pizza with excellent service! Red Tomato Pizza House is my go-to spot for private origami tutoring sessions. It's never too crowded, the tables have great lighting, and the seating is comfortable.

A'Maya Ettien

Smokehouse is the best classic burger in the Bay. They also have delicious milkshakes, and their meat is now halal!! My friend is dairy and gluten free and they have a gluten free bun option and a dairy-free option for the shake. 10/10!

Kristopher Goodie

I've been coming here for several years and I'm always satisfied. They offer gluten free bread and other gluten free options. The staff is very attentive and food is delivered quickly.

John DeSerio

My absolutely go to for everything. Coffee, cakes, cupcakes, you name it they got it also my go to for gluten-free pistachio cake is to die for. Love the daily fruit muffin. Best carrot cake in town. They also did my wedding cakes. That good.

Samir Jain

Clear gluten free options and pretty good

Davida Tescher

I have a few allergies, the hardest one to navigate is soy. I called in and they helped me identify which items to order and to look for gluten free as those items also didn’t have soy. This advice has made ordering from them easy for me and I can be confident in the food I’m getting. We order from this restaurant 3 times a week sometimes, but mostly every other week. Highly recommend!

Amir Shevat

This place is hustling and bustling all day long. The service is fast and friendly, the food is delicious and generously portioned. The spicy dishes here are spicy! The Thai tea was awesome and the kids love the Pad Se Ew. They even had gluten free options for my wife. The prices are very reasonable. Definitely a place to come back to.

Shailaja Bulusu

Really nice people and delicious food. The coffee comes in a cute large mug. They were able to make the California Benedict for me without diary or gluten. Not so great area of town, but very comfortable inside

Sascha Nour Fawaz

One of the best french pastries in Berkeley! They also have gluten free options that tastes amazing like the flourless raspberry mousse.

Ariana F

Stumbled upon this place while a friend was in a meeting. Wonderful service, friendly staff & food was yummy! Great if you’re gluten/dairy free - thanks!

Bay Walker

Attempting to eat mostly vegan I made an effort to stop by and got a gluten free BLT for ~$11.50. It had excellent taste and the vegan bacon was very satisfying as well. The take-home Caesar salad and vegan cheddar cheese was also delicious and could be an easy substitute for anyone attempting to go more plant-based. 👍🏼

Tastie Cereale

Wow. Truly great service, and great food. Really surprised in a good way. I'd given up on any expectation of friendly or helpful service in Berkeley. But this place was a very pleasant surprise. I was dealing with some temporary dietary restrictions and didn't realize the dish I ordered used an ingredient I couldn't have until after I had a few bites. The manager (?) Keith not only offered to substitute, but even agreed to try my fantastic idea of using french fries instead of the macaroni. Holy hell, who does that? The best part is that he was incredibly nice through it all. We were all amazed. I just finished the rest of my fries and cheese, and I really hope they add fries as a gluten free option to pasta to their menu because it is delicious. I will definitely be returning.

Maribel Gutierrez

Hello, I recently ordered your dough and I’m just so thankful you are in the Bay Area! I first heard of PASSIONE PIZZA dough from my boyfriend who goes to Whole Foods often and we both tried it! I was able to order the dough online as I’m hours away from Berkeley. I personally have not been to the restaurant but I can only IMAGINE how delicious it is! I love the dough please don’t ever stop making and selling! We appreciate gluten free healthy options with no toxic ingredients oils etc! Thank you thank you thank you! 🤤

Cafe Tibet is in my top 5 restaurants in the East Bay. I love their Ngoe-thuk pan friend sweet potato noodles with tofu and vegetables, which tastes so delicious and the portion so generous it makes me supremely happy! With their Himalayan seasonings, vegetables choices and take on fried rice, noodles, soups, and organic veggie dishes make unique and some of the healthiest Asian food around. I am gluten free so I can't eat the Momos (Tibetan dumplings), but every person I have brought to Cafe Tibet orders them and says they are scrumptious. There is an influence of Indian cuisine in some of the dishes and appetizers and their macrobiotic plates are also generously portioned and super tasty. No boring, bland vegetarian food here. I have been eating at Cafe Tibet for 6 years and the change to vegan was an enviromental choice on the part of the relative who inherited the restaurant from his Aunt who retired, but it hasn't effected the yumminess of their offerings. I have spent the past 3 years between NYC, LA, SF and the East Bay and there is a bit of a foodie revolution going on in the later, surpassing everywhere else. I read a list recently that put Oakland as number one on a list as best city to eat out nationally. I am lumping all of the East Bay into that category, but I would agree, Oakland, Berkeley and Albany have it going on. It's probably the influence of Berkeley's Chez Panisse which started the whole farm to table revolution using quality ingredients to make delicious healthy food. In any case Cafe Tibet is part of that community worth keeping on your Best of the Bay list.

Got the achari paneer pizza with a gluten-free cauliflower crust and tandoori wings—easily the best desi pizza we’ve had! Crispy crust and saucy wings, just how we like ‘em. Definitely recommend eating it fresh here. Too bad they don’t deliver to SF, but we’ll gladly come back!

Charles Chen

Great food, great service and great vibe / atmosphere in the restaurant. It is definitely energetic inside the restaurant, but not so noisy where you cannot have a conversation. We started with the Tonno Crudo (tartare of yellowfin tuna) as an appetizer. Our main courses were Spezzatino d’Agnello (spring lamb braise), Tagliolini alle Cozze (pasta strands with mussels), Gnocchi Spugnole e Fave (house made potato dumplings) and gluten-free pasta with Tuscan style meat ragu sauce. For dessert, we had Budino di Cioccolato (gluten-free flourless chocolate pudding cake) and Coppa di Mascarpone e Mirtilli (blueberry trifle). Everything was outstanding, and the portion sizes were just right. Our server was exceptional. We will definitely be back!

Yola Ng

Great food and service in a small but mighty restaurant. Wait staff knows about ingredients being used in food, and was able to guide my choices as a gluten-free eater. Specials are hard to read because it's light colored ink on glass, but the huge menu already had plenty of options. Looks like there's a parking lot for this business, but I couldn't really tell... didn't see any signage. If you're here for the 1st time it's tucked into the side if the same building as Ace Hardware, on the corner.

Ariel Gil

Great gluten free options! I've never been able to get gluten free Chinese food before. Gluten indicated on menu. Very fast service, and reasonable prices.

Rachel Harrus

I was on the hunt for a solid gluten free veggie pizza and Bobby G’s did the trick. Overall, food and ambiance is nothing extraordinary but reasonably priced, good tasting, and friendly enough place. We sat outside under the heaters, though if your going to a pizzeria to watch sports, inside will be preferred. And if you’re looking to go out with the family I wouldn’t recommend this spot, but it fits the bill for a pie with friends.

Aaron S. Chen

It's always a good day when you can get some Slivers. The green sauce is of course amazeballs, a must-get every time you buy a pizza. I feel like their prices are reasonable for what you get, and they almost always add in a couple of free extra slices. My favorite is the yukon potato and corn pizza, but the mushroom pizza is a close second. I also love love love the fact that their gluten-free and dairy-free pizzas are the same price as their normal pizzas, you don't see that in other restaurants. Rarely ever a line and when there is it moves very quickly. Service is always fast and easy.

Sidonie Harper-McPike

Tiny takeout spot with cute and biodegrade food boxes, also has outdoor seating. The food is always extremely delicious!! They have healthy soup and salad options, if you are gluten free like me and can’t do a gourmet fried chicken sandwich mmmmmm

Carolyn Clarke

Gluten free pizza was good. There was a problem with the restaurant not receiving my order but they rectified it quickly.

Nonya Bisnus

Very happy to see the gluten free items labeled

Tom O'BRIEN “Wayward Traveller”

Authentic, wonderful service with food to match, well able to cater for vegan and gluten-free requirements... Vegetable tempura was great value for 15$ - basket of vegetable tempura, bowl of rice, misto soup and best salad with sesame dressing...yum yum

Mea Cole Tefka

Came here on a whim and loved it! Beautiful space, great food, excellent coffee, and gluten free options
