Better Buzz Coffee Point Loma

Not safe for celiac, at least for the toasts or sandwich options. I ordered the caprese with gluten free bread and asked if they used a separate toaster which he assured me they do. I told the server that I was celiac and had a severe gluten allergy so no cross contamination and he assured me he would mark it on the order and they would handle it. I watched them make my sandwich on the same prep station they made other gluten containing sandwiches and use the same gloves and knew that I wouldn’t be able to eat it. There was no gluten free mark on my order and I told them I couldn’t eat it and they graciously offered me a refund.

I was excited to eat something savory w celiac and not just have a smoothie but I would stick to one of those or any naturally gluten free foods. They did not seem to understand the difference between celiac and gluten free.

— No gluten-free information on the menu

They offer very little celiac friendly food items. There is a small basket of a few gluten free baked goods next to the cash register. All food on the menu is marked gluten free, but it is NOT for someone with Celiac as they do not toast the bread separately (share the same toaster and utensils) or offer a separate place to prepare your food with safety precautions for having Celiac. The coffee is great, but if you have Celiac, I recommend not eating here.

Staff was very knowledgeable and kind, they were out of the bowls, but she recommended gluten free avocado toast and it was amazing! Drink was also really good and I had no reaction. I would recommend.

Easy to read menu, friendly staff who are knowledgeable, and food/drinks that are both satisfying and tasty! I recommend the açaí bowl, & hot chai latte. No reaction here besides happiness :)

The coffee is delicious but GF options are very limited. I arrived at 10 am and they were already out of GF granola and bread. One GF chocolate chip cookie was all that was left. They also charged me for the toast before they realized they were out and I had to wait a solid 15 minutes for a refund.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing breakfast sandwich on gf bread. Also have gf granola.
