This place (San Diego location) is a great find. They have good varied breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus and they are reasonably priced for what you get. Many different baked goods are available as well.

We had a bacon, egg, tomato panini for breakfast and Mac & cheese for lunch. You wouldn’t now they were gluten free by taste. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area.

My only complaint is that they are only open until 6pm Tuesday - Thursday.

This place used to impress me with all of the options but I went back today and was extremely disappointed in the lack of lunch items and baked goods. The menus and days/hours of business seem to change frequently and the interior has become grimy and not as welcoming. I miss the carving stations, tiramisu, and old atmosphere...

It’s great to have a 100% gf place in town. I’ve never had any issues with their food and have been coming here for three years on a regular basis. Their food is good, and their baked goods are even better. My only wish is they had more vegetarian/vegan options and their hours were more friendly.

Has the possibility to be great but today it wasnt. Kudos for being gf but they were out of things to make pizza and waited along time for our order. Not all is vegan here so make sure what you are ordering if you are allergic to eggs. Ordered vegan bread panning with turkey and veggie panni. Eh. Super disappointed. 26.00 meal for two people was not worth it.

Mixed reviews. The pizzas were terrible and cold. The pancakes and salmon panini were reportedly good. The Mexican Coke isn’t gluten free and shouldn’t be served there.

This place is rip-off. Food is not that great, and gluten free products are not that expensive. I'm celiac and I do get sick. Not worth it for me. No star review

This place used to make a wide variety of menu items: proteins and side dishes, which were displayed behind the sneeze guard. But they have scaled way back with fewer choices and small portions. There was barely any chicken in my pot pie or meat in my sandwich. And they used to give you two side dishes with an entree but now offer one, which is usually a salad or chips. But the prices are the same, if not higher. I hope this place survives.

This restaurant has loads of potential. Having a dedicated gf establishment is huge. Unfortunately, it was very DIRTY when we visited, which is very unappetizing. Seeing past the filthy shelves tables and floors was not easy. If the dining areas are filthy where customers can see, what must the other areas, such as food prep and refrigerators look like?

Service was meh, food was good and fresh but the Mac & Cheese tasted like Velveeta. The tables were all dirty and the floor was absolutely filthy. They mixed up our sides so my salad ended up being half underneath my mom's panini sandwich. While I was transferring the salad to my plate, they came and asked how the food was. I said I didn't know yet. The cupcakes looked delicious but I didn't feel like spending $5 on a small cupcake. I doubt we'll be back.

Fantastic food and ALL gf. Hot meals, salads, paninis, breakfasts, lunches, dinners. Vegetarian, gf, lactose free, corn free and delicious. I've been visiting SanDiego for years from 2-9 weeks at a time. I've been searching for a restaurant like this without success until a few weeks ago when 2Good2Be was pointed out to me. I've made the commute from my rental unit on Mission Bay several times finding every meal perfect. They also have a great bakery offering breads, muffins, cupcakes and more. A visit to the LaJolla farmers market also revealed several other totally gf food vendors which is hopeful for those of us forced to change our eating choices and altering the familiar social settings we were accustomed to visiting with friends and family. Caring diet conscious entrepreneurs are providing choices for us that would be attractive to the regular eating public as well. Finally, this year finds local supermarkets such as Sprouts and Ralphs going out of their way to label their gf foods making grocery shopping easier and enjoyable. Only Whole Foods and Trader Joes continue to be behind the curve in helping the allergen sensitive. The old adage of organic is superior doesn't quite hold for everyone. Organic wheat, spelt, etc. is devastating for the celiac and others. I question if they'll ever care enough to go out of their way in a meaningful manner to help everyone make healthy food selections. Maybe next year.

While this place is very conscientious about ingredients, and the staff is friendly, the service is abominable. They got the order wrong, it took a painfully long time to get our food, and when we sent incorrect items back, it was like getting in the queue again at the back of the line. Not going back.

We are from the SF Bay Area and always stop here when visiting family in town. My daughter has celiac, so traveling can be challenging.

Today we had the BLTA, caprese panini, and citrus salad with seared ahi. It was amazing! Dessert were s'mores cupcake and espresso mocha cupcake. Wish I had room for more!
