If you are celiac this is the best place in San Diego to eat, period. Breakfast has amazing French toast or waffles. Lunch has fabulous food from chicken parm, to yummy tacos and if your lucky they have a burger special. Their sweets are sooo good and the atmosphere is wonderful. We drive 25 min one way every week to eat here on Sundays.

Only negative is they close at 1:30 or 2:30.. wish they were open for dinner!!

Seriously amazing!! Had a egg, avocado, arugula, and chipotle aioli bagel which was fantastic. The texture of the bagel was perfect. My gluten-eating dad said she would have had no idea it was GF.

The very best breakfast anywhere! They have amazing breakfast Sammies that are made with house made fork split english muffins. The burritos are awesome! You have to try their cookies, too. The entire restaurant is 100% gluten free and amazing.

I haven't had a breakfast burrito in years! (like a real wrapped in a tortilla one...for some reason it tastes much better than in a bowl!) Savored every bite! Delicious! Of course it's a dedicated gluten free business so this is paradise for someone diagnosed Celiac!

This is my favorite dedicated gluten free restaurant. I sort of love how they don't market it as a dedicated gluten free facility - the food is so good, I'm sure most of their customers don't even know!

I stopped in & picked up chai spiced sugar cookies(so good!!!!) and quiche on my way to go visit friends-both were amazed at how delicious it all was & neither believed gluten free! I know it was since I'm celiac & had no issues! Will definitely be back!!!

This place is fantastic. My only wish is that they wouldn't fully transition their breakfast menu over to their lunch menu, some overlap would be nice because I could have their breakfast later in the day. But still 5 stars!!

The sandwiches are amazingly good. We had the Banh Mi and the Cuban. I haven't been able to eat out as I am super sensitive and cc makes it almost impossible. so happy to have found a dedicated place that I can get a treat.

I have celiac disease and come into the Curious Fork whenever possible for workday lunches. It's clear that they draw a big following among many customers who aren't even gluten free. This has been by far the best GF dining option I have found in all of San Diego County. Their bread and pastries are unbelievably moist and you truly would never know they are gluten free. They are now selling the baguettes and English muffins so that people can enjoy them at home. The sandwiches and salads are fantastic and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. The cafe itself is very cute and welcoming, and not at all overbearing about being gluten free. They are highly dedicated to keeping the entire facility GF and I have never felt ill or worried at all about eating any products from here. I hope to try some of the pop up dinners in the future. I would highly recommend anyone with celiac to try this place out, you will find a new favorite.

Awesome new restaurant /cafe/ cooking school. We have been in for breakfast - it's so nice to be able to have an egg bacon cheese sandwich on gf English muffin. Lunch is great - all of the sandwiches are delicious. Marco's pickles are incredible. Their popup dinners have been wonderful. So nice to have a place where you can order anything and it's all good and all gf.

This is a cute little cafe next to the Del Mar Race Track that is great for gluten free people. They have great pizza, sandwiches, salads, and pastries. Their gf sourdough is to die for, and their homemade gf baguettes are even better. Another cool feature is that they also have cooking classes!
