horrible service. i ordered a blueberry muffin and the person next to me ordered one a minute after. they had me pay for it and then told me they were all out and gave it to the person. this was after waiting in line for 20 minutes. the staff has absolutely no manners. if your looking for good gluten free food with good service save yourself some time and choose a different bakery. they also do a horrible job at making accommodations. i ordered myself an omelet and told them i could not eat mushrooms and they gave me an omelet with mushrooms. then got annoyed and took another 20 minutes to make me a new one. and it was undercooked and smaller than the actual serving size.

I love this place so greatly, when I lived downtown I would eat here on the regular. The best thing is it is very inclusive of most diets and has a pretty nice selection of vegan and gluten free items, including at some times of year seasonal cakes and pies.. yumm.. However, today in summertime, their were more choices in the salad and entree bar; including some delicious looking pasta salads, and did I mention how high quality all the ingredients are? Today I kept it simple, and got the gluten free vegan snickerdoodle cookies. They are like puffs of sweet satisfying heaven. I can have few with a small latte and just allow my mind to travel and vacation for a moment. The latte which I had for their, in a cup, making it all the more cozy was divine. Steamed well as for the almond mylk, and had a lovely sweet nutty flavor to the espresso. Very quick service btw. Thats the beauty of this place is you can go and get a latte and nosh, or an entire meal and perhaps some wine.. I will keep coming back and have heard the best things about the owner, thanks for such a delectable space🙏🏽

Yadhira and Andy are AWESOME! We ordered a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese and they made sure to use separate gloves and a separate rack to bake the pizza. This place has the BEST gluten free vegan pizza ever. Also the salad was delicious. Great service, fun atmosphere! We will 100% go back!

The atmosphere is really nice. I came here to try the quiche and gluten free baked goods. The blueberry gluten free muffin was quite small and mildly flavored. I got a much bigger and better one at Helena Ave Bakery. I read the reviews raving about the quiche and I don’t get the hype. It’s a slice of a basic quiche. It’s nice the crust is gluten free but it was quite thick crust and the quiche was not freshly made…maybe it was fresh from the morning, I got there around 10:40am. But it was reheated and cold in the middle.

Every time we go to Santa Barbara, California we make sure to stop by this Delicious restaurant. It has wonderful vegan and gluten-free meals that are filling. They are always kind and generous and guiding us to which are the best vegan and gluten-free for our needs. The creamy items are not too milky like in other Indian and the vegetables are cooked where they're still slightly crispy and not too limp. One has the option of how hot and spicy they want their meals from mild all the way to extra spicy 🔥.

Amazing. I got a rosemary garlic sourdough filone today. Beautiful loaf, crispy crust and light airy center. Might be the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had. I will definitely be ordering again 💘
