CALI - Brandon

Super yummy. Highly recommend! Many gf bowl options and a couple also df too. Turns out they are also incorporated with Fresh Kitchen. They have brunch starting at 10am on weekends only so when you see breakfast, know it is only on weekends and doesn't start until 10am. (I made the mistake of trying to go there for breakfast during the week).

10/10!!! Really wish this place was closer, but I have made the drive many times to Brandon from Sarasota JUST for Cali. It’s worth it. The “Soo Buff” bowl is amazing. Gluten free crispy chicken, and gluten free fried onions with rice, cauliflower, celery, dill, blue cheese, the best buffalo sauce and a lime ceaser dressing. Great drink options, mimosa or MAX-mosas, great chips and guac or chips and salsa.. One of my favorite restaurants and always feel great the following day.

Updated review: love this place. I feel like they have stepped up their game and it’s one of the only places I go for Sunday brunch!! Delicious

This place is okay. I haven’t been sick, I do tell them every time gf (Celiac). The food isn’t great quality. I expected way more flavor for the item I ordered and it was pretty bland. I do like that they have breakfast because you can’t find that often for safe gf. Do not order their gf cupcakes. I watched the girl grab it with the same tongs they use for regular cupcakes.

Most of their menu is gluten-free, nothing with gluten is fried, so no cross-contamination there. They have dairy-free options as well.

My sister has celiac & is very sensitive to cross-contamination. She lives in MI but this is her favorite restaurant when she comes to visit, she always eats here at least once.

While I haven’t been diagnosed with celiac, a food allergy test determined that I have a moderate allergy to gluten. That being said, I eat here pretty often & I have never had a bad experience.

Sadly I have been glutened at this location. I have gone to this location for 3 years and have been safe and eaten well. The food was delicious and clearly marked on the menu. Unfortunately they redid their menue. Since the menu change the food items I have eaten in the past are no longer available, and though I ordered something marked as safe sadly it was not.

Great spot for gluten free lunch or dinner! All gluten free items are CLEARLY marked on all of their menus, even the big one on the wall. They serve rice (or noodle) bowls, and there are about 6 or 7 GF ones. Yummy spot...
