Excellent gluten free pancakes!! The service was awesome! The coffee was great! The pancakes are cooked on their own designated griddle! They have more GF options to try so I will definitely be returning!

Told server I was allergic to gluten and he brings my dish with regular (gluten containing) bread; food mediocre (watery over easy eggs with raw whites running out); bacon was cooked well, that’s about it. Not sure why it’s so popular

Joe-Veggie with a poached egg. Delicious!
This restaurant is amazing. Loved the service, ambiance and food! I had the buck baked pancakes. First time at this restaurant while I was in town. Can't wait to return to Long Beach just to stop by this restaurant.

Update: I couldn't post again. They use to be very considerate with Celiac or gluten intolerant people. Now they do NOT! I did Nima sensor test my GF naked pancakes and the result was a happy face. I ate here in 2017, 2018 and will no longer eat here as the cross contamination is high. Use a Nima sensor if you have one or eat at own risk!

Just went to this place today and they had delicious breakfast! Was actually able to eat pancakes that were delicious. They do say that they don’t have a dedicated gluten free kitchen, but I had no issues eating here.

The service was awful and the food mediocre. They don't seem to understand what gluten free is, the shrimp and grits plate (advertised as gluten free) came with regular bread on the side.

Had the GF Buck Naked pancake meal. Two. Buckwheat pancakes, two eggs and two pieces of thick bacon, with real maple syrup. Was very good, and very filling. I couldn't finish it. The Mocha Muchaco coffee was delicious too.

Never have I ever been so badly treated for asking Celiac questions. I asked the server (who was halfway walking away from us everytime he stopped by) about the turkey sausages, or any breakfast meats for that matter, and he replied that they're all gluten free because they're meat and they don't have bread in it.... Anyone who has Celiacs who has tried finding gluten free bacon or sausage knows that it's like finding a needle in a haystack at a regular grocery store. I asked him for the name of the brand so I could look it up (since clearly he wasn't going to do that for me, the customer) he wrote it down, put it on the table and left without saying anything but "here". I looked it up and surprise surpirse...not gluten free. The buck naked pancakes were falling apart like crumbs before I could even eat them. Uneducated restaurant...would not recommend.

I'm glad I found somewhere local that caters to gluten-free options. I shall return to update my review when I've tasted their "naked cakes" pancakes.

I was at the counter and the waiter was more concerned with chatting with his buddies than doing his job. The fresh squeezed orange juice was nasty. It wasn't fresh. The gluten free pancakes were awful. I won't be going back there.

My waiter really didn't care when I told him I was allergic to Dairy and Gluten. The only helpful information I got from the hostess. I don't recommend this place at all.

Fantastic! I'm on the road a lot and being celiac and a foodie can be pretty disappointing. This place is wonderful. Great staff, and the food is very flavorful and well put together. If you're in the area definitely give them a try.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, in addition to amazing food. My husband and are both gluten/dairy intolerant and this place was a wonderful find. We enjoyed both breakfast and lunch sandwiches on delightful gf/df sesame seed buns. Both breakfast and dinner were unrivaled by anywhere else I have eaten, nationwide, in terms of flavor. Although I wasn't able to try them, they also offer gluten free (but not dairy free) pancakes. I was unable to observe the preparation of our food, however, no cross-contamination issues seemed present; we are both very sensitive and suffered not. This is definitely a restaurant worth visiting!

This place is Amazing, and has a kitchen space dedicated to Celiac's!! The owner's nephew has celiac so the staff is super aware of the disease. I will most definitely be back here again, the gf pancakes are so amazing with their gf homemade jelly.
