What an absolute delight to find a restaurant with delicious traditional, plant-based, and gluten-free options. The food was amazing, and the service was spot on. Highly recommended!

The best dining experience we have has in a long time. The gluten-free lemon butter ravioli are to die for. We are out of towers but would drive 2 1/2 hours again to eat there again.

This is the kinda place where a foodie nerd & a Rez dawg can bliss put together 💞 We had a slice of pumpkin pie with REAL HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM (yummmm) and a savory omelette with egg & mushrooms while swooning over everything else on the menu. Thrilled to find this place on our inaugural visit to the S.O.B. (Streets of Bakersfield)! Pet-friendly, with gluten-free & vegan options. And swag.

Long overdue review. This establishment is an asset to the city. Vegan, healthy options. Gluten-free vegan hot dishes are served daily. The smoothies/protein drinks are exquisite. Fridays they offer vegan sushi which has weaned me off the traditional sushi. Their bio coffee alternative is wonderful.

Great music! Extensive menu. Making effort for gluten sensitive / gluten free diners. Spicy chicken Bento excellent flavors, but order an upgraded roll for more taste options. Very ample portion size. Elijah very attentive and helpful. (Men's restroom appears accessible.) Mix up on one special order dropped their "5" to a "4" BUT see ++ next to the 4 stars. (Sorry, ate too fast for photos.)

My wife and I have been having lunch here for quite some time. The people are very friendly as well there prices are far. The quality of food is great, along with having a vast variety of different things on the menu, they also serve gluten free salads and sandwich bread which is a plus for us because my wife is gluten intolerant.

Recently, Too Fats added gluten free bread at their 18th st location, thank you so much 🙌 it's been forever since I had a BLT and it brightened my day being able to get a sandwich. Wonderful service during the pandemic as well, they sanitized the tables and chairs and was able to sit for a few and try out the BLT 👌

Delicious food! Great ambiance! What a neat place to visit! This hotel is 1928 RETRO and super pretty with original/remade decorative ceilings, marble staircase and an elegant vibe. Our server was attentive and THE COFFEE HERE IS PERFECT. I eat healthy and was served a BIG bowl of fruit with my gluten-free breakfast bowl. The food was yummy. If you like salty you may need to add a little. The wait time was somewhat long but we were not in a rush. I was so happy to find a delicious place to eat that didn't break my belly while traveling. Will return tomorrow!

What a treat 🍓 Best bowls in town! Always super friendly service and GLUTEN FREE granola on request. They also have a rewards program that will give you free bowls.. win, win! Ps the sweet brunette with the glasses deserves a tip, she’s extra sweet!

Friendly service, cool vibes. Wandered in for drinks, stayed for food. Great energy, with parties, families, couples, etc. Had the QR code menu thing (which I hate and refuse to use, why would I want to come out just to have everyone staring at their phone) but we were given menus no problem. Food was good with interesting twists on some traditional choices. Bartender was versed on gluten free options. Decent choices for vegetarians as well.

Love, love, love this place. Food is fresh and good for the soul (duck breast that melts in your mouth). Plenty of gluten free options for us celiacs. And the service, this is what service is supposed to be!

Great place to eat! Their tacos are amazing, and they have something for everyone. Gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, OG steak tacos or chicken.

Amanda Andrevil

Food and atmosphere were great! Gluten free options were a huge plus! I'll definitely be going back.

Amazing place! The Kitchen hosted a private party of 10 for a celebratory event for my fiance. Chef Richard and Jeramy were incredibly responsive in assisting me with planning the menu and all the special details I had planned. (My fiance has celiac and they took extra care to modify some of the menu items to be gluten free) The food was perfect and I am so appreciative of the care they took to execute everything from the uniquely addressed tequila shots to the music choice. Thank you for making this night so perfect!

I’m in love. Campo boasts delightful hosts, and a cozy and visually interesting space. If you’re celiac be sure to let them know and they can accommodate and modify the small plates to be gluten free. Can’t wait to come back. 🍷 PS it’s near the Nile Theater which recently reopened so this would be great pre or post show.
