Came in they were knowledgeable. They had a great variety of options and the food was delicious. Will be back before I head home.
Fantastic! I finally found somewhere with GF bread. Also GF muffins and cookies. Wonderful.
I felt safe. They have gluten-free bread and make delicious sandwiches. The staff knew about celiac disease and gave me good advice.
They were really good with gluten free options and had bread or eggs that you could trade for gluten free bun or eggs and other things! I got the purple rain smoothie which was gluten free and it was good! I highly recommend coming if you have celiac!
Great experience. Knowledgeable about safe practices to avoid cross contamination. Had a GF grilled cheese with bacon and a purple rain smoothie. Both were delicious and had no reaction. Will return next time I’m in the area.
Good variety of options! Worth looking at the menu online first because their board at the register isn’t labelled with as much info, but the cashier was very helpful and god about checking with the kitchen on options. Hot polenta bowl is very tasty too.
I had to come here every morning because I wanted to try everything it was so good.
The smoothies, the coffee, sandwiches, and desserts. They were incredibly knowledgeable, and careful. Great food and zero reactions!
Loved the Johnny Cashew, Verde verde, and the GF tiramisu was worth flying an extra one home for. Ohh and the polenta with truffle mushroom & goat cheese will be something I crave for a while.
we love carmel belle! i’ve been coming here once a year for the past 10 years or so and carmel belle is a fav must go to spot. i was scared since getting diagnosed that they wouldn’t have gf options, but they are very accommodating! they have gluten free pasta and bread available and the bread is very big and not tiny like regular gf bread! it is kind of pricey but i love their food so much and it’s so delicious that it is worth the price. they can also wrap bread in foil to toast it to prevent cross contact
GF bread is available — and it’s not tiny squares. The sandwiches and breakfast items were easy to make GF/DF. We had the open-faced avocado toast and BLTs the day before. The tomato soup is yummy as well. Ordering at the counter and asking allergen questions was easy.
I ate breakfast (eggs, bacon, and toast) and everything tasted great and was safe. The owner disclaimed it was a cross contact kitchen but they would try their best to be separate. I did not get sick. Our second part of the order was never made so the owner quickly had it made to go and accommodated with a free gf muffin.
Awesome, expansive menu and so much can be made gluten free. The girl who took my order was more than accommodating to mark down that I had an allergy and said they can toast my gluten free bread in the oven rather than the toaster to prevent cross contamination, without me even asking! Pastries and breakfast sandwiches were awesome and the juice and coffee I ordered as well were excellent!
Great place for casual lunch/breakfast. MANY gf options from sandwiches, salads, gf/vegan pastries, smoothies, juices. Great spot! Definitely recommend!!!
Excellent little place, right off of Ocean Ave - smoothies, gf bread, salads, soup. Great quality and safe for all sorts of allergies - very knowledgeable and helpful staff
Casual yet classy. Loved GF French Toast! Also loved how dog friendly it is. Highly recommended.
The best thing about this place is that I could eat a sandwich! I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious. My friend (not gf) ordered the Brie sandwich with chicken and apple slices and it was very dry (Brie was not melted, the bread wasn't toasted, skimpy on the apples.) We ate outside and that was delightful. The service wasn't particularly friendly but I would go back and order the same thing again.
Great quality food! GF bread, GF and Vegan muffins and pastries. Homemade almond milk lattes. So good!
The quinoa breakfast bowl is wonderful. There are not many options for breakfast ( or lunch/dinner) beyond that. Which is a shame because these folks are know what they are doing!!
this is not a gluten free option at all. based on reviews I went here hoping for breakfast. the only gf "option" was to sub spinach for any thing that would regularly have bread.
They only had soup and salad.....The roasted tomatoes soup was good
