Sneakers Bistro

The last few times I’ve gone here it went so poorly I can’t imagine going back. Ever time I’ve ordered an omelet, explained celiac and dairy allergy (so no cheese, but I’ll pay the up charge for the one slice of GF bread in the dedicated toaster). Each time, it either comes with normal bread, an omelet stuffed with cheese, and always always always a cup of butter on the plate. By the time my meal is remade and replaced, my friends are done eating and I’m worried that since they likely “fired” it in the kitchen - no precautions were taken or the the allergy was forgotten entirely on the new ticket. Also asked the waitress if they use the certified gluten free oat milk (very apologetically explained I’m sorry to be annoying but the gluten free statement on oat milk doesn’t necessarily mean celiac safe) she came back after looking with a confident YES. Then luckily I watched her pour it and it was planet oat (not safe for me unfortunately).

She also carried my friends allergy food and my allergy food (opposing allergies) out together. Her very bready meal crumbs spilling over on to my plate below hers. Kind of defeats the point.

All love to the servers here, we know allergies can be a pain (especially when it’s not something you’re used to thinking about in your own life) and they’re doing their best - the place is just not safe for celiacs.

Delicious brunch! The gluten free toast here is very tasty and even a little chewy. My server confirmed they have a dedicated GF toaster and the protein powder waffles are GF too.

I've had the cowboy hash several times without getting sick. They also have GF toast and separate toaster. The server was very thorough and helpful.

Delish! I had an omelet and gf toast and home fries. Was super delicious and the waitress assured me that they’d cook my home fries in a pan so they didn’t use the shared griddle!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good breakfast. Safe. Ate here twice on our vacation with no problems.

My go to spot for GF breakfast & brunch! You can have their HOME FRIES! Huge omelettes and fresh ingredients, GF toast (a huge slice!). Check Yelp to get in line for a table worth the wait! No GF menu but the staff knows what you can have. Been there numerous times for years with no reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the Rachel sandwich on gluten free bread and side salad. Waitress knew to avoid green goddess dressing due to soy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No specific gluten free menu, but gluten free "options" which is the option to substitute in gluten free bread. No designated gluten free grills or other baking supplies, advertise a Quinoa waffle but use the same cooker as non-gf waffles. I got the breakfast sandwich with home fries (gf) and was happy with it. Wouldn't recommend for severe allergies.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here all the time and I've never gotten sick. I love how many options they have for gluten free. There are at least 5 or 6 things on the regular menu that are GF and sometimes the specials are too. The waffles are good, as are the various versions of hash. My favorite thing to get is the California Benedict on GF bread. The house made turkey sausage is GF and also delicious.

I had a fabulous corn beef hash two poached eggs and gluten free bread. I highly recommend it.

Yummy food and great staff!

They do a great job. I've eaten there lots of times and never gotten sick.

Gluten free bread for toast. Delicious eggs and breakfast foods!
