Great place for a quick breakfast! Crepes were fresh and delicious! Gluten free (Yay) buckwheat! Super friendly staff and clean.

If you are gluten free and vegan (or one or the other) this place is phenomenal. I got the chicken and waffles and the flavors were spot on! Their pimento is delicious here too. The servings are quite large, so you will definitely have leftovers if you don't spilt your meal.

My Husband is Gluten Free and this came up on the internet. Was perfect opens at 5.00pm and after walking miles around this glorious town we were ready for an early supper. Welcome excellent, lovely table in the window. Small menu but well thought out. We both had the Salmon bowl. Oh my the tastes exploded on your tongue. Waitress excellent. This restaurant is excellent.

This is a MUST GO for people with celiac. I had the best experience. They have a gluten free menu, just have to ask for it. And it has plenty of options from the main menu that you can have. Our waiter was very thoughtful and even put my husband’s croutons on the side of his salad just in case we shared it. When my food came each time, he acknowledged the safety of my meal to me. The place is a little upscale but laid back at the same time.

Out late on a late night date w the hubs in his hometown and looking to NOSH!! This place was recommended by our rickshaw driver strolling down King street. This place is SUPER CUTE!! We actually had passed by it and didn’t even notice!! 😵‍💫 Accross from the Apple Store; with kitschy-modern vibes we loved it as soon as we walked in! 90s tunes wash over us as we enter and we are taken back to simpler days; when we were young and without the cares of kids and adulting. Our server Katie greets us as we sit down at our cozy little booth - she is Super Cute and upbeat! We love her energy! And she knows her Sh*%#! She thoroughly explains how things work in her world, and we know exactly what to expect and respect how much she loves what she does! She educates us on the freshness of the E back bar ingredients? As well as that we should expect the highest of quality Ingredients in the tacos and such as well! We also love that these tacos are served street tacos style and explains that each will be 2-3 bites. This is very helpful in Gauging how many we should order! We decide to get a little of everything! The cucumber salad and sliced cucumbers came first. Then came the Korean Beef Bulgogi Bowl - The Baja fish tacos - in CA they are usually grilled. But here they are fried. I was skeptical but when I added the jalapeño sauce and took a bite MAN!! So lite and flaky!! Fish was tender and the batter was melt in your mouth! Not at All great! And not breast either! Katie explained later that it is a tempera rice batter and that it’s gluten free. Super lite and DELISH!! The addition of the slaw gives it just the right vinegar mayo kick as well YUM 🤤 The mushroom taco is very light and mild. Bits of mushroom; they tasted like shiitake or even just an umami mix including some king mushrooms even had a very mild and meaty texture and mild flavor. I added the rojo sauce for a bit of a kick. The given tortilla adding the perfect nuttiness. The crispy shrimp taco uses the same lite tempura batter. This batter has a little kick to it. Not sure if they add something else to the batter to make it slightly different than the fish but it’s slightly spicier. Which I Loved. We eat a lot of spicy foods and I loved this one. I ate this with the cucumber salad as well for more of a crunch factor. The pork belly taco had a bit of a crunchy pork skin bite to it, and the porky goodness that you can ONLY get from pork belly!!! This one was next level taco yumminess!!! We ate this one with the Happy Habanero sauce and let me tell you - NO. This one you hafta taste for yourself to believe!!! PORK BELLY. NEED I SAY MORE??? Now we had also ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna Taco but we had forgotten about it and the kitchen had also forgotten about it , so by the time they brought it out we were so stuffed we didn’t get to try it before my review. I’ll try to update this tho once I try it! It looked awesome, and I will include the picture! The only thing the hubs wasn’t too impressed with was the bulgogi bowl. The bees was sliced too thinly he said and was a bit dry. He expected more juiciness. Especially for bulgogi and I hafta agree on that - having had a LOT of bulgogi in my lifetime lol. I LOVED the kimchi and spinach in the bowl tho and helped him to polish those off. 😝 Oh!!! We also tried some agua fresca - the Berry Colada which was FANTASMIC I cannot say this enough. This drink tasted of fresh coconut water, blueberries and fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. Not sure if that’s the mix but that’s what it tasted like to me. It was so refreshing and didn’t make me feel light headed like fruit juice normally does. The hubs has a Tito’s n Grapefruit juice which he absolutely LOVED. We were really impressed with Bartaco! Late night nosh as its finest! And Thanks again Ms Katie!

The best gluten-free sandwich I’ve ever had. Unreal tastes paired between bread. Already dreaming of another sandwich from here!

Rebekah Spencer

Husband is gluten free and had a lot of options available for him. All of our food was delicious and staff was very friendly!

Elliott Roberts

GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES!!! They are delicious, light and fluffy. We had the banana peanut butter and prosciutto which was great to swap with my wife, sweet and savory. We will be back for sure!!

Eithne McDonald

Great gluten-free options with unique choices. If you've never had Lebanese/Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, definitely give it a try! The service was great and we had a beautiful view by the window.

Best food, atmosphere, and service. Seperate fryer for tortilla chips, which means nachos for someone like me that has celiac disease. They are very accommodating and have lots of allergy friendly foods. I can't say enough great things about this Taco Boy. Just bring your sweater if sitting inside.

Kerri Smith

Our server was wonderful and asked right up front if there was anyone with food sensitivities or allergies. I am allergic to wheat and she pointed out all the dishes that were gluten-free and the ones that could be modified for me. I had the crab salad and it was delicious. The Lemon Blueberry Crème Brûlée was scrumptious! It was a beautiful evening for outdoor seating. I will definitely visit again!

Love the chill vibe and the team at PB! And I love the gluten free/vegan treat options available fm Mabel Mae’s! It’s always nice to come and grab my go-to cold brew latte with honey and a sweet treat and sit and do some computer work. It’s especially nice with warmer weather because having the grassy area to sit in and soak up the sun is especially nice! I also like the option if it’s busy to grab a seat and order via their website. Will definitely continue coming on the regular! 🙂❤️

I felt so safe eating here! When I made the reservation, I noted that I had celiac. When we sat down, they brought me a gluten-free menu. They also told me that as soon as they saw my reservation, they started new water in case I wanted pasta. My pasta was so delicious!

We had a disappointing experience at The Dime today. We were in line at 11:15 and due to the long line, we did not make it to the counter until 11:40. At this time, after waiting almost 30 minutes, we were told that we could not order anything from the breakfast or lunch menus, that lunch did not start until 12 and breakfast was over. Our only option was to order pastries from the case. I have celiac disease, so obviously, the pastries were not an option for me. I explained this and asked if I was just out of luck, to which I was plainly told “yes.” We pled for flexibility and the entire staff told us there was nothing we could do. We wanted to take our business elsewhere at this point, but unfortunately, there were not other options close by that would offer the same grab and go experience that we were looking for. We came back in at noon and ordered from the lunch menu. Our food was good and the atmosphere is beautiful. Could be a great spot if they could figure out a way to not turn customers away for 30 minutes, especially after waiting in line for the same amount of time.
