I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.

On a Thursday evening a few weeks back, we called in a takeout order. Originally I had ordered a gluten free pizza, but Alfredo called us back to notify us that they were out of gf dough. Instead, we opted for the following: the kids’ gluten free mac and cheese (I am cheesy), a side salad (such a deal!), and GF I Am Beloved (an elevated version of the classic mac with a brisket-like lions mane mushroom/butternut squash/Brussel sprouts situation. Talk about a flavor explosion! When we arrived, Alfredo explained the loyalty program - sign up and get $10 off your first order. He seamlessly allowed us to honor the offer on our visit. His thoughtfulness and customer service, coupled with the delicious food, made for a lovely evening. I wish there was a Cafe Gratitude in NYC because I would be there on a weekly basis for their clean eating, kindness, and good vibes! Also, I need the key lime pie ASAP.

I don’t understand how they’re still in business. The service is decent, but the baked goods are terrible. I tried them years ago when there were hardly any gluten free bakeries around, so they were a decent option considering there was almost nothing else available, but after all these years nothing has improved and there are far better options out there. The frosting is awful and they really need to develop a new recipe. The cakes are dry and just don’t taste that great. One of the items i got was so disgustingly sweet I had to throw it away after a few bites. Everything is completely overpriced especially considering how terrible they are. I’ll just keep going to Modern Bread and Bagel and Kirari West because Erin Mckenna’s is not worth it with the quality of their recipes

Best gastropub/high-end comfort food/small plates for celiac folks! The churros and mac & cheese are a MUST HAVE!

Amazing Amazing Amazing!! I have been to other Urban Plates but I Enjoyed this one for sure. Came with my coworker he's from San Diego and showed him this spot since we were on lunch. We met Karla I believe she was new ( I'm sorry if I got her name wrong) and she is amazing at Customer service being patient and kind as my coworker was orderering. She didn't rush but she was Patient and was also able to help us in Customer Service. Not only that but she went above and beyond but I can tell she was kind and so was other employees who took our plate and offered to even replenish our drinks and take our Plates. Love your Services!! I ordered the Steak platter with Brussel sprouts and mash potatoes and other was a Burger I forget what kind but we also purchased a Cookie with a complementary cookie. I enjoyed my meal today felt like I was cooking at home. Over all steak was super juicy mash potatoes had flavor so as the brussel sprouts. The cookies we had was Chocolate cookie and Gluten free Cookie with that Sea Salt on top was really Amazing. Over food was great, Service A++ Atmosphere was vining was looking at the Flower that's in black and white painted on the ceiling. Overall I was impressed by Karla. Karla you will do great!! Keep going YOU WILL DO WELL!! Thank you Urban Plates!!

Incredibly good gluten free desserts, fairly priced, and friendly staff! 100% recommend.

Nicole Morgan

I'm recently embarked upon a plant based lifestyle so it was awesome for to be able to go out and enjoy a delicious, gluten free, no cheese, veggie pizza and salad. I loved it!!

Martin Gomez

I always try and remember HUGOS is ONLY good for the Churros. Yes you can get vegan, vegetarian and gluten free there but after today I really don't think it's worth it. Service isn't great and food is bland, no flavor, lack of salsa and when I asked for salsa for 3 tiny burritos with very little meat, I get 1 small half full tiny cup. After tip , i spent $84 on 3 burritos, 2 drinks and 3 churros. Seems pretty steep for bland food and half way decent service. From now on the amazing GF Churros will be our only purchase

Ryan

Ash was such a helpful server. He helped me navigate the gluten free menu. And he was so attentive and really went above and beyond! Thank you Ash!

Jan Squire

Outstanding GF menu!

Lauren Schaffel

Our server Allie was awesome! She made sure my meal was allergy safe (I have a serious allergy to gluten, celiac disease). I got the buffalo chicken salad with air fried gf chicken!🐓

victoria vera

I got a couple of donuts and a cupcake and was totally blown away! The girls were super friendly. I would totally go back for more. I have hasimotos so I avoid gluten and eggs have given me a problem for years now. Finally I can enjoy my cake without any problems!! Love love love

Charly Luna

Absolutely beautiful space and such amazing food. I have celiac disease, and it's such a relief to find such divine eats that keep me safe. So much yum!! Thank you Tocoya Organica!

Colleen King

Norrito salad and shrimp are last meal level good. Lots of gluten free options. Ambiance and service are just ok.

Brit Fleck

The gluten-free brunch of my dreams. Came here on New Year’s Day (yes they were open) and was greeted with open arms. Everything on the menu is gluten-free, so fresh and delicious. I had the breakfast sandwich as well as the persimmon ricotta toast, and the chocolate chip sea salt cookie. I also got a Matcha latte and just wow so good. Every bite I took was better than the next and the waiters were so kind and accommodating. They get their gluten-free bread all the way from San Francisco and it is a delicacy extreme. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Zu Kim

Too salty / too much sauce. We only ordered gluten free options and maybe their regular menus are fine. Their gluten free 'pasta' was, in fact, Korean starch noodle (for japchae). In fact they kind of warned it (they said it was 'sweet potato noodle' which wasn't wrong). The noodles stuck with each other and the texture didn't really go well with the pasta sauce. The Shrimp Scampi was super salty, the California Bowl and the pizza had too much sauce on it. I really loved their menu selections and had high expectations, so it was quite a disappointment. BTW, this place is a take out place with a single big table where you can also dine in.

Hanna Hondzo

My favorite place for safe gf ice cream! I always get their gf v cone too. Their cookies are also amazing, they do have dairy in them though.

Amy Tung

Good service and delicious Japanese food

Rose Morse

Got the grand slam. Never would have guessed the pancakes were both vegan and gluten free. Everything was delicious. The sausage and eggs are definitely vegan, but taste great. Service was excellent, excited to try other things.

DBradshaw25

They have gluten free pizza! It's delicious! Ordered the Grandma's and the Sicilian!

JonnyBeoulve

I was very happy with the flavors of the red ramen, and the bold ramen was good, too. Each ramen can be custom ordered with a variety of configurations and additions, including gluten free noodles. Service is outstanding, although I didn't care much for the discomfort of the space due to how small it is inside. Well worth a visit especially during hours when it isn't so busy.

Marci Anderson

OMG! DELICIOUS!! We ordered different things so we could taste it all! Cornbread…are you kidding me? Shrimp and grits…so deliciously creamy. Oxtail tacos…flavor burst! Fried green tomatoes…so good! Mac and cheese…so cheesy! Here’s the kicker…it’s GLUTEN FREE!! Are you kidding me?! We will be back very soon!! The staff and owner are so kind and gracious! So sweet and attentive! Oh wait….gotta go…my gluten free peach cobbler is coming!! Trust me….eat here!!!

My wife and I loooove Just What I Kneaded (the pop tarts are insane; the crunch wraps are a MUST!) and Justine's Wine Bar (all around one of our favorite date spots), but I'm writing this review specifically to rave about the amazing and most perfect wedding cake that Kneady Cakes/ Just What I Kneaded created for our wedding day! Our cake was vegan and gluten free - we wanted gluten free since my mother is celiac (she was very grateful for a GF cake and she loved it!). The cake was moist and delicious! We were all very impressed with the gluten free option - There honestly was no difference in the gluten free and the regular cake. And it felt "lighter" to eat! We opted for a lemon cake with lemon custard and raspberry jam on the bottom layer and chocolate with raspberry jam filling on the top layer. It was insanely delicious and beautifully decorated with frosting succulents to match the desert theme of our wedding. The Kneady Cakes team packaged it carefully and it was sturdy + easy to transport in an insulated box all the way to Joshua Tree. We had a wonderful time with our cake tasting, which consisted of trying cake samples via 6 different flavors of cupcakes accompanied with jars of jam and custards. It was difficult to choose, but we're so happy with our decision! The lower layer of our cake was 8" and the top was 6". We were able to cut about 30-40 slices, easy. For a 15 person wedding, it was a perfect amount for everyone to enjoy a few slices + we had extra to freeze for our anniversary. Everyone LOVED the cake (they are still raving about it!) and it was a highlight of the post-ceremony celebration! We are SO happy to have purchased our cake from Kneady Cakes. We can't recommend getting a wedding cake(s) from Kneady Cakes enough! Worth every penny. We'll be back for birthday cakes in the near future. We are lucky to have such a fantastic bakery and such an amazing team of bakers in east LA!

Jake Cal

Absolutely top tier gluten free breakfast burritos. The Mediterranean flavors of the Hiho wrap were awesome and everything was super fresh and well made. Pretty much everything can be made GF here so I highly recommend for anyone with celiacs.

SKM Music (Sara Marsalis)

The food here is FANTASTIC! It is so hard to find really good vegan AND gluten-free food. This place is on it. My wife had the mushroom bordelaise, and I had 2 sushi rolls. 100% on point delicious.

Edward Lucarini

Excellent gluten free options.

Llion Jones

Lovely place. Gluten free available also. Recommend!

Tom Ely

Among the best of the current crop of taco distilleries in Los Angeles. The friendly Staff have figured out the queueing system and the result is lower waiting times. The tacos are fantastic. Tacos are all corn so ideal for gluten free types. Don’t forget the hibiscus onions and a cucumber cooler. Dine in options are limited to a few outdoor tables. Prices are reasonable although not displayed on menu.

Ally Thompson

100% gluten free gelato, pastry, coffee joint. what more do i have to say? go here now!

Annelise Holyoak

Incredible- I can’t love this place more. The first chicken and biscuits are a must. All celiac safe

Ivo Raza

Loved the food, nothing fancy, just good ingredients, with some creative twists. Service was great too. Almost everything is gluten free too.

Malin Schn

Gluten-free and celiac-friendly – very good pizza!

Meghan C

As someone with celiac, this is an absolute gem. Not only can I have everything on the menu, but it’s delicious and my non-celiac friends/family love it too!

Julieta Mariotti

Very good place for breakfast. Varied food and many Gluten Free options, which is difficult to find

Ashton

Loved the spicy ramen looked great and the gluten free noodles were fantastic.

Avery

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!

Amy “FabulousFoodie”

Gluten-free HEAVEN! I recently became gluten-free due to an auto immune condition and was so sad to have to give up my beloved bread and pastry products. That was until I heard about rising heart bakery! Their take and bake cinnamon rolls, millet bread and bagels are off the chart good! Yes, you will spend a little bit more but it’s absolutely worth it to keep these delicious foodie staples in your life! Even if I wasn’t gluten-free I would still absolutely keep these in my pantry!

Edward Lucarini

Excellent gluten free options.

Meagan McCall

We had a very nice server and there’s a great ambiance at Scopa, perfect for dates and connecting with friends alike. They have a gorgeous bar, large window, candles on the tables, and all of our food came perfectly coursed. We were easily able to make a same-day reservation via the Resy app, and I do recommend making a reservation in advance because it was popping when we arrived. For parking, you can either park in the connected valet lot ($13 on a Monday) or look for free street parking (we found it pretty easily, but then again it was a Monday). There are the top four absolute must-order items you should order to share: 1. Hot Antipasti - Scallops Oreganata ($23) with brown butter, bread crumbs, & lemon. I’m gluten free so I asked for no breadcrumbs, and I also recommend ordering a side of gluten free bread to dip in the brown butter after you finish enjoying the scallops because they have the absolute best gluten free cheesecheese bread! They only came with 2 scallops in an order so consider ordering enough so each person can have at least 1 full scallop. 2. Hot Antipasti - Mortadella Meatballs ($21) with pistachio pesto, arugula, & parmesan cheese. This came with 3 medium-large sized meatballs covered in a delicious green pesto - don’t let looks deceive you, even if this isn’t how you expect meatballs to look they’re delish. 3. Cold Antipasti - Heirloom Tomatoes ($18) with sweet onion, basil, ricotta salata cheese, sherry vinegar, & olive oil. If you enjoy tomatoes of all shapes and sizes, this is the dish for you. My favorite were the little orange tomatoes. 4. Salad - Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad ($22) with generous pecorino romano cheese, parsley, grapes, olive oil, sherry vinegar, & toasted almonds. This was a good portion size and the best raw Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. While I did really enjoy the flavor of oysters themselves and their sauces, and I do want to put them as item 5 to order, each of the oysters had some shell bits had to spit out, and it only came with 1 spoon and 0 mini forks. The oysters come with lemon slices, cocktail sauce, shredded horseradish, mignonette, and are $4.50 each with a minimum of 6. I would order them again, but enjoy them carefully and hope that they’re shucked better next time. However… Maybe things were off because it was a Monday and they had multiple large last minute parties walk in. Maybe I should have gone for the pastas instead of the below because it is an Italian restaurant. Maybe I’m just a person who enjoys more seasoning on seafood or less sauce on pork chops, but a few of the dishes weren’t exactly as good as I was expecting. Unless you love canned tuna, absolutely avoid the Sicilian Tuna Cold Antipasti ($19) with market green beans, fingerling potato, capers, lemon, & olive oil. It wasn’t until we mentioned to our server our strong disappointment with the dish, as we were expecting either Tuna Crudo or Seared Tuna, that our server told us that he usually steers guests away from it. It also had zero seasoning, and boy did it need it. It also feels like this dish should have automatically been served with crackers. The Amberjack Crudo ($25) with watermelon radish, bulls blood micro greens, & herb oil needed a combo-sauce or a stronger flavored oil, as it was very bland as-is. Luckily not a fishy-fish, but still lackluster for their only fish crudo on the menu. For the Mains, they were already sold out of the 24oz T-bone Steak ($82) when we arrived, and the server recommended the Pork Chop. The generous portion of Pork Chop ($66) came with crispy fingerling potatoes, roasted shallots, olives, capers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, & fresh herbs. The balsamic was more of a thick, sweet, heavy glaze, and it overpowered the meat. Personally, we both felt it was over-sauced.

Natalie Roberts

Very friendly staff and most importantly, the donuts are sooooooo good! More of a cakey texture. Very delicate crumb, very tender donut. All of the flavors are amazing, quite balanced, and not overly sweet. Also, best iced matcha I've had in.... quite a long time tbh! 10/10 recommend. There's some parking behind the building or you can park across the street at Westfield (so, plenty of parking). Love this place. Bonus: the donuts are gluten free.

Mary Cellini

Always delicious and plenty of vegan/gluten free options, so I am here a lot. Great staff and music. My visit is always a treat.

Marissa

Great service, good food, lovely setting! We used to come here often when we lived in the neighborhood but we hadn't been in a while. Loved the improvements they've made since our last visit - especially the gluten free options on the menu! Would love to know which items are soy free as well. Thank you!

Nicole R

I had no idea gluten-free bagels could be this delicious! Hats off to you, Pop’s!
