Review of Octapas Cafe

I’ve been here twice and enjoyed it both times. GF items are marked on the regular menus. Both times the servers were glad to double check on certain items I had questions about. The food is delicious, as are the mocktails. And you can bring dogs to the covered/sheltered patio (note: you have to make a reservation first though). :)

There were many GF options when I went for dinner, fewer when I went to breakfast on a Sunday (it was a holiday though, not sure if they had a special/limited menu that day). I asked if I could get the breakfast burrito without the flour tortilla and with corn tortillas instead. The very kind and helpful server verified that the chef was willing to make the swap and that the corn tortillas were GF. She also passed on the chef’s disclaimer that since their kitchen does prepare items with gluten, they cannot guarantee no cross-contamination. I had no problems with the meal either time, but I do not typically notice a reaction to gluten.
