High hopes, but kind of a letdown. First off, 87.00 dollars for two burgers with fries, a glass of wine and an iced tea seems a bit much. Was expecting it to wow us. They have gluten free options there. The gluten free bun was not prepared well and completely fell apart after one bite. Wishing I would have just skipped the bun. Fries are in a dedicated fryer. The fries were all just pieces... All broken up. The iced tea was pretty good. The staff was nice but a bit aloof. Really wanted to like the place, but thought it was just mediocre and overly priced.

Our favorite breakfast spot when visiting SLO! Sally Loo’s was recommended from friends that live in the area and we couldn’t have been more glad we came. Hands down they have the best breakfast food we have ever tried, all while being allergy friendly and quick to get the orders out. I don’t think I have ever seen a cafe that has knocked out a line of 30 people so quickly, all while keeping the food quality top notch. My wife is allergic to gluten and eggs, so the restaurants we can go to are limited. Sally Loo’s handles allergy restrictions effectively and efficiently. Every restaurant can learn from them.

This is one of my favorite restaurants! They can make anything but samosas gluten free, and can make most sauces dairy free. I love being able to have naan again! My favorites are lamb boti kebab, tandoori chicken, chicken vindaloo, vegetable pakora, chicken pakora. I've heard their chicken tikka masala is wonderful, but haven't had them make it dairy-free for me yet.

Linnea's is my favorite cafe! So many tea options, and the workers are welcoming and nice! The back garden is very relaxing and a great place to study or catch some live music. Many vegan and gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. Tea and coffee loyalty cards can help you save some money if you become a repeat customer (like me)!

I get what all the hype is about; Giuseppe's is legit delish. We ordered Margherita pizza and Cima di Rapa pasta, both gluten free. We had the Gelato trio for dessert - we tried pistachio, butter pecan, and lemon - pistachio was our fave. We look forward to eating there again, and appreciate so many gluten free options.

I love this place! The vegetarian food is delicious and fresh. It is a great place for people who don't eat gluten, Ethiopian food is naturally gluten-free. I always feel fantastic after eating here - I feel light, nourished and satisfied, it is just right! The portion size is perfect. I have favorites, such as the Goman, lentil dishes and gluten-free teff brownies (!) - but every item I have tried I totally loved. Even if you don't think you like vegetarian food, give this place a try, it is delish! The ambiance is fun and friendly and the music sets a pleasant and lively vibe. Highly recommend!

Great selection of donuts! Good mix of donuts, croissants, and gluten free/vegan options. Lots of flavors you won't see in a regular donut shop, like the pictured maple bacon bar (which was great for breakfast).

Incredible selection of dairy-free and gluten-free options! They were extremely accommodating of my severe nut allergy and took all the necessary precautions to prevent cross-contamination. Definitely one of the top allergy-friendly ice cream places I've ever been to!
