Food was okay, but immediately tirned pink and itchy and began feeling sick after eating here. Menu says gf but plant burgers are not gf and appear to use wheat flour which could be the issue (maybe cross contamination or flour dust). Im

Gluten, soy, dairy, onion, garlic free me met my vegetarian cousin here. There was something for each of us. I had salmon and jasmine rice, which were good, and cashew cheesecake which was fantastic. We were able to park for free around the corner after 6 on a weekday.

Awesome that everything is clearly labeled on the menu. So many tasty things, wide variety of hearty salads and dressings..also noticed they sometimes offer gf cookies and stuff but have never tried them. A little expensive but mostly all organic. Faves: fiery broccoli, quinoa bowl, chicken salad, Dino kale salad and beet salad

I took a chance on the Plant Cafe in that it only had two reviews, and I’m so glad I did. My initial plan was to go to Amy’s but that was located in a terminal that would have required going through security again. As it was, I had a long walk from my gate to this place. (It would be nice if the restaurants that cater to food allergies would be more centrally located in the airport. ) There were only a few GF options, but I was able to find something. I had the teriyaki bowl. It was very good and a generous portion. This will definitely be my go-to at SFO in the future.

I’m so glad I found this place after searching around SFO for safe food for so long. I had planned to go to Amy’s but didn’t realize it was behind security in another terminal so I was stuck with less than favorable options in Terminal 2. There are to GF options on the menu —teriyaki bowl and quinoa bowl—cooked to order. I had the teriyaki which tasted really fresh and healthy. Also there are fresh smoothies and juices. One star downgrade because if they offered GF buns there would be so much more selection.

Usually grab some to go items before heading on a flight. No issues. Although the staff seems like they could care less.

Not sure whether it’s celiac-level GF, but it has a number of GF options, including GF cookies on the top shelf of the bakery case.

Have the green curry w chicken every time I fly from terminal 2, and the protein smoothie. Not a ton of options in this terminal so this is my go to. There are blueberry muffins that look good but I have never tried them- they seem to change gloves w each customer. I am a sensitive celiac with no issues.
