My daughter’s favorite for breakfast. A lot of GF options including fresh levain sourdough which doesn’t affect me and is always a nice option if you can tolerate it. Service is always good. Wasn’t a fan of the turkey meatloaf hash. But everything else I’ve had is good. A little pricey by average for San Diego I suppose.

Cute place. Easy service and the food was good. I had the gf breakfast sandwich. The bacon was very tasty. The bread did not fall apart and it was a good size. I was full!

Standard breakfast food. It was pretty good.
They asked if it was a preference and I said no. Waitress said they have all kinds of precautions then.

Server was unsure what was celiac safe or not. Really nice guy but just reiterated that the kitchen just wasn’t safe for celiacs.
I appreciated the transparency but was bummed not to be able to eat.
FYI — served told me the house hot sauce was NOT gluten free and was unsure about ketchup

A fun little breakfast chain - We went to the location in Mission Beach. I wasn’t completely convinced the waiter knew what the issues I described were but I took a chance on one of the scrambles. I explained the toast issue and he offered to bring me a plate of tomatoes instead. I didn’t get sick and my mashed potato/egg dish was great!

I ask for the safest options for celiac, and they told me that all the Benedict eggs were one of the safest options and the gf French toast, they have a dedicated fryer for the potato’s and the bread it’s so tasty. Definitely coming back

I just ordered eggs and toast, but enjoyed both. The gluten free toast was good. Will go back for GF raisin cinnamon French toast (on menu) next visit. Server was nice and prices agreed with my wallet 😀

Review
I tend to need extra assurance that precautions are being made. I think this place is so used to having celiac or allergy customers that they might not get that. I asked for the server to speak with the kitchen staff about my needs for gloves change, fresh utensils and fresh batch of anything that might’ve been cut on shared surfaces. He assured me he would put the note “hospital allergy “ and that all would be taken care of. So, if you’re like me and need extra assurances, don’t be afraid to speak up about it. Every menu item I had was so good here. There’s a blanket surcharge of 2% on your entire bill for some reason. I asked about it and the server removed it. Weird! Super friendly staff.
