The best gf pancakes I’ve ever had - and I’ve eaten way too many of them all over the country. Love that they put the gf toothpicks in each dish.

Lunch menu has gf options, but usually just come early for breakfast. Great coffee.

This is our favorite brunch place. My fiancé and I are both celiacs and we have never had a problem. The staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable. They even have little “gluten free” toothpicks they put in the meal so you know they remembered!

GF cheeseburger was great!
GF burger came marked :)
BLT sandwich with avocado on gluten-free bread. Kale salad. I didn't really like the kale salad, the kale was really tough and the dressing was too acidic.

Great service. I am always hesitant to trust gf pancakes but they did have a GF menu. Possibility of cross contamination but they seemed to try to keep things separate. My food came out separately and with a “flag” ensuring I was being handed the correct food.

This place was great! Quick service and nice staff members. You order at the counter and then find a table & your food is brought to you. They have a separate gluten free menu as well as a separate area in their kitchen to prepare gluten free items. Ate a yummy omelette and potatoes with no problems!

I would recommend this little gem to anyone within a 100mile radius. The food was fantastic and they truly cater to all food allergies. We spoke to the owner and she is passionate about people having a safe dining experience. It felt like if I had many food restrictions she would find me something to eat here! She takes everything very seriously and takes time to train her staff so they understand the ”why”.

This is probably some of the best GF lunch food that I’ve had in San Diego. There is a dedicated page on the menu with gluten free options. They don’t have a separate fryer for fries but instead of fries they offer an sliced potato alternative that’s just as good. I ordered a burger and was glad I didn’t have to pay a crazy amount for it, especially with how good it tasted. Highly recommend this place.

I've eaten here countless times and have never gotten sick. They have a separate prep area and the food is amazing. Get the Cinnamon roll pancakes for something sweet or the Turkey Club for something Savory. They also have amazing GF muffins from Moxie Baking Company.

My celiac daughter loved her BLT! We were so afraid to eat out but so far she is doing great. No issues! I am gf but not celiac, and the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes were awesome!!! The waiter was very reassuring about separate prep stations and grills, and when the food was delivered there were little "gluten free" stakes on the plates. Nice touch! My ONLY concern is the eco straws they provide. Be careful as many of the commercial ones contain wheat! My daughter has never reacted but I have read that there could be issues. The water cups are plastic so we were nervous, but if you bring your own straw (or chance drinking from the plastic cup) you will not have to worry at all. So happy to have this place near us!

This is our favorite restaurant. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable about Celiac and truly safe GF dining. GF menu is extensive and their cinnamon roll pancakes are to die for - better than regular ones. Service is always top notch. Too bad they stopped serving dinner. But it's still a great breakfast/brunch/lunch place. The only downside is that they do not have a dedicated fryer, so don't expect to be able to eat their fries.
