Bea Bea's

Warning on menu that there may be cross contamination. I got Huevos Rancheros and was okay. Wouldn't trust the pancakes though as they probably cook them on the same griddle as others. Allergies didn't seem to be a priority.

Horrible. Servers don’t know a thing about gluten or gluten allergy. Was told the only thing I can order is a pancake. No gluten free bread and no omelette. Go elsewhere if you want to eat.

Delicious gf pancakes and many options. But I have a severe wheat allergy and this place is dangerous. Specifically told the server about it, discussed the gf options. She brought out my food and I doubled checked (like I usually do when there isn’t some kind of marker on the food to know I got gf food) and she said yes then paused and looked confused, then told me not to eat it and disappeared for a few mins. When she came back she quickly took my food and said it was her fault because she forgot to put it in as gf when she entered my order, she was extremely apologetic and assured me my replacement pancakes would be gf. New pancakes looked different and probably were gf, but there’s a lot of cross contamination because I felt it in my throat almost immediately and was sick before we left there and spent the rest of the day hurting and loading up on benadryl. It sucks because I had asked about it being cooked on a different surface, etc. honestly, they’re just too busy probably and aren’t serious about food allergies.

Amazing gf pancakes, but they don’t cook them separately so had to stop eating here.

No

amazing food long wait but on yelp you can get on waitlist or order togo. love this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is a must-visit every time I go to SoCal. The long wait is worth it for the food. I’ve never gotten sick here. They are really good about preventing cross-contamination

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A long wait to get in because it’s very popular but worth it. The pancakes are delicious!!! The burger place next door has GF buns though if you’re starving and can’t be bothered waiting.

Terrible for Celiacs, bad reaction....

Celiac friendly?

No

I had been here 6 times before it finally happened. I mean, after the first several visits, I guess I let my guard down, but I got severely glutened here. I had good experiences with their waffles and their omelets. I never got to try their pancakes, because they make the gluten free pancakes on a shared griddle. It was when I ordered a side of gluten free toast that I got sick. They simply get too busy here to take proper precautions for people with any dietary restrictions and/or allergies. While I did have a few good meals here before getting sick, I won't be going back.

Celiac friendly?

No

If I could give no stars I would. I ordered a gluten free waffle. They clearly gave me a regular one because when I got home I couldn’t stop vomiting for an hour until I tore my esophagus and was vomiting blood. I have celiac disease and this was the worst attack I’ve ever had from gluten. At first they denied it but then agreed to pay my hospital bill. Like I would make this up? Never going back again. They are too busy to take allergies and celiac seriously.

So happy to see gf waffles and pancakes on the menu. The waffle was delicious.

Very knowlegeable and friendly staff!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My sister is celiac and introduced me to BeaBea’s ... I love this place! Some of the best GF pancakes and waffles around! They have a very large menu, but I’ve never had anything other than the waffles & pancakes. Usually crowded, expect a wait on the weekends.

Cute place. Great food. I went with eggs, fruit, and gluten free toast to be safe. Great, friendly service.

I've gone here and love the waffles! They have a great selection and I never tire of them. The ham side is delicious and my fiance often gets the steak and eggs.

The gluten-free pancakes ARE done in the community griddle, however, so there is a chance of cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Classic diner food but overpriced and always packed. as long as you stick with eggs or something simple, you should be okay. but no way they're very Celiac friendly. it's too busy.

Celiac friendly?

I have celiac and the staff was awesome and made sure my meal was just how I like it. Food was amazing! No problems after the food, and I am very sensitive. Would definitely come back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered bacon and underwhelming GF waffles and got sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered the Huevos Racheros and they told me they were definitely gluten free if the tortilla was not fried. So, I got plain tortillas under the egg. I got super sick. The staff didn't seem to know much about what gluten was in their menu items either.

Celiac friendly?

No

My kids loved the gf pancakes! Lots of gf options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best. Waffles. Ever.

Be aware their hash browns have flour and the fried potatoes are done in a fryer that also is used for onion rings which have gluten so there is cross contamination. Pancakes are delicious. I did have a slight reaction but it could have been from the bite of potatoes I took before I realized they were fried in a community fryer.

i just waited for a table for over an hour, only to get a waitress who didn't know what dairy was and had no clue about what cross contamination was or why it could make me sick... I'm now starving and headed to Hugo's tacos. thanks for the terrible experience, bea beas!

Celiac friendly?

This place is fantastic! Staff are knowledgable and helpful. They use a separate waffle iron for GF. Never once reacted and went there on a fairly regular basis.

Food was good and there's a great GF selection. Although the service is friendly, it was inattentive.

Delicious GF pancakes and waffles! Small place but very friendly and knowledgeable. Very large menu.

My celiac son said it was the best waffle he ever had!!

This restaurant was a Godsend for my gf daughter who was so tired of eating eggs and oatmeal on our trip to CA. They have amazing waffle and pancake dishes (like bananas and nutella) and you can get them gf our reg. We were in Heaven.

This place is great! So accommodating! They have great gluten free food. And they are great about separating the food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is great because I can finally have Belgian waffles with no worries & they have GF bread for their sandwiches. They have separate toasters & waffler, but it's always crowded

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My favorite place for GF pancakes and waffles. Usually a wait to get in, and kind of crowded, but the staff is great and the food is worth it. Huge menu.

Knowledgable staff highly versed in gluten free - many options for breakfast and lunch diner fare!!!

Great GF options. Bummer can't get their best selling Pumpkin waffles or pumpkin pancakes. Large diner environment. Outdoor seating without a great view. Great service.

Best GF pancakes I've ever had. Cute little place great for brunch.

delicious selection of gf breakfast items. I couldnt even tell my pancakes were gf!

There is a huge risk of cross contamination

Gluten free pancakes, waffles, bread! Really yummy!!! Great Breakfast stop...
