Totally Gluten free heaven

Best place for gluten-free / reduced beer. Need this in Oregon.

This place has been around forever. We stop by when we're in town just for old times' sake. The coffee is great ! I actually got a buzz from it, and not just the caffeine kind! Service was alright. Friendly service is mostly a thing of the past at some places, I guess. Yummy, gluten-free muffins.

Great buns!

Excellent French cafe in the heart of Leucadia. I love the fact that they have started to offer bulletproof coffee and have gluten-free options. The Omelette I had was outstanding as was the gluten-free vegetarian crepes. What I didn't like was the fact they don't offer any wi-fi. Not even basic Wi-Fi so you can grab an Uber or do some necessary work. It wouldn't cost that much to add some basic Wi-Fi with about 10 / 10 speed. You wouldn't get digital nomads with those speeds but your reviews would be better. Other than that I love this place.

Great service and delicious gluten free churros. Just for that it’s an amazing place. Thank you for making gluten-free tacos! They are so rare and we were so happy to have some!

100% GF & vegan cafe. Great Lasagna and wrap

Andrea Glass

I appreciated the fact that there were gluten-free and dairy-free options however the menu was a traditional Thai food menu so it really didn't stand out

Here for the first time. Ian serving is. Wine is very well priced for the quality and the food very good especially for us liking Gluten free options which they have many! We have rebooked again later in the week.

Absolutely love the coffee served up by Jared from the cute retro trailer. The gluten free muffins are moist and yummy, too! What a perfect way to start the day. 😍

I’ve been here 20-30 times. This restaurant is being mismanaged. It used to be great. But now, hit or miss. Menu displays GF symbol prominently and I am gluten free. Awesome! But lately the wait staff often says they’re out of GF bread. Kinda puts a damper on the GF mussels when there’s no bread to sop up the sauce. Last night, the waiter said they were out of GF bread, but then he said he looked and they had some. It wasn’t the yummy flat bread from the last time I was there, but it was something. Makes me wonder if they’re actually out when they say they’re out? The waiter was able to find some after he’d been told there was none. My father ordered a glass of Merlot. The waiter came back saying they didn’t have merlot by the glass. I tried to order beef stroganoff with GF pasta. But they were out of GF pasta. GF pasta is shelf stable. This is just mismanagement. Don’t have a menu that offers GF dishes if you’re not prepared to serve them gluten free. It’s also insane to be unable to order a glass of merlot. C’mon…you’re better than this.

Wonderful food Celiac / gluten free friendly

Love the food especially the vegan gluten free raspberry cheesecake cake is heaven on earth. Please make the raspberry sauce less sweet, it needs to be served with an insulin shot last time I went, before when I had it multiple times it wasn't as syrupy sweet like that.

The coffee box has yummy gf pasties. We have 3 with celiac in the family and are very sensitive.

I'm new to the area (moved here in Jan of 2023) and feel fortunate to have found this great Pizza place. The pizza is hands down some of the best around. The Margherita pizza is the best I've ever tasted - with real buffalo mozzarella. The only downside of the place is that it gets so busy at times that they don't answer the phone for call-in orders. But if that happens to you, just wander on down, order and grab a beer or glass of wine while you wait for your pizza to go. Of course dining in is a great option too. One other note - one time I went there and they informed me that they had been so busy that they ran out of regular dough and only had gluten free. I gave it a shot. Never again. Those of you trying to avoid gluten, go for it. But the flavor was nowhere near as close to the standard dough. I'll be back...

I love this place. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and their boba is gluten free which isn’t always easy to find or determine. It is such a cute stop on the 101 & I will take any chance I can do drive to the coast for a treat!

A gem of a coffee shop! Such a comfortable atmosphere, and if you're really lucky you might come on a day when they are roasting coffee beans- the smell is amazing! I recommend the chai latte. Also a pretty decent menu with plenty of gluten free options, including sandwiches on gf toast. The service is always excellent and staff friendly and cheerful.

You know those ‘let’s get the fam out for unplanned celebratory dinner’ only to have it fail and you’re scrambling for plan B moments? Osteria wasn’t what we thought we’d eat Friday night but it will never be forgotten as the night impeccable service, unforgettably satisfying dishes, and an ambience that felt as relaxed as your backyard but really really special not only salvaged our special occassion but set a bar both in food and service that we keep talking about. Jackson, our server, set the tone and invitation that got our fam out of their funk and smiling with garlic foccacia. My wife has not been able to eat pasta or pizza for years due to gluten sensitivities and had NO issues with any of their bread dishes. She swooned over the scallops. Even my teenager was shocked into sarcasticlessness by what she admitted was the best tiramisu of her life. Osteria Tavi is the quiet masterpiece of a meal and experience we didn’t know was possible.

Love this cafe for a work meeting or with a friend. Delicious matcha and gluten free options! Enjoyed a yummy gf chocolate macadamia nut cookie!
