Went on Mother's Day for a late lunch. Our waitress was amazing. She did mention the fryer is shared. I got gf brioche French toast and my son got the kids sliders on gf bread toasted. He liked it and hates when he can't have any sort of a bun on a burger. It's very nice and the kids get wiki sticks and they love those.

We were seated quickly, no waiting. The food came quick enough. The gluten free waffles are amazing, I added bananas. If you're gluten free def worth a visit. The strawberry crepes and baked apple pancakes were big hits at our table. Service was really great, top notch, highly recommend

Great with Gluten free options. Even gluten free Key Lime pie for dessert. Service was wonderful. Sat out on deck with a great view. Very enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful experience. It is a bit pricey but really with it. I had the Hot Pot...it was very, very good.

Great vegan healthy food. It’s nice to go to a cafe where I don’t have to ask if there’s any animal ingredients in it, because there’s not. Everything but a handful of menu items is gluten free as well. The set up is very cute. Plant lined patio on Girard just into La Jolla. Not far from street parking. A few blocks from La Jolla Cove. Casual dining atmosphere, very basic. Cozy booth seating inside. It’s a small space, so if you’re bringing a large party, I’d call ahead to make sure there’s seating room. Everything is made by hand fresh daily by the owner himself. The food tastes great every time I’ve gone. My husband is a huge fan of Green Door because the owner mentioned staying up the night before Christmas Eve to make all the pre ordered Christmas dinners perfect. We called a few days ahead for our Christmas dinner last year which was shepherds pie and Christmas pudding. So so good!!! All we had to do was reheat the oven items, and reheat the Christmas pudding in boiling water. The preparing instructions were put on the lids. Only took about 20 minutes to reheat. Literally the best shepherds pie I’ve had, and my husband thought it was so cool because it tasted amazing without any animal ingredients. If you’re looking for something healthy, Green Door Cafe won’t disappoint. The prices aren’t cheap. The ingredients are bought frequently from local organic growers. A friend of mine has mentioned to me seeing the owner of Green Door Cafe riding his bike back to the restaurant with a basket full of greens. Which I thought was pretty cool. You don’t have to worry if it’s going to give you a heart attack or make you fat because it’s all natural nothing is fried. Definitely worth a try!!

Great variety for different tastes & dietary needs. Sweet & savory crepes, shakes, smoothies, hot drinks. Options for vegan &/or gluten free. I had the strawberry banana nutella crepe. Simple & so good. The fruit was fresh & perfectly ripe. It did get a little pricey after the vegan up-charge, but it was a great midday special treat after the beach. It’s a small shop that gets crowded easily, but the outdoor seating was great! There were quotes and little butterfly drawings adorning the walls which entertained our wait to order. The people behind the counter were lovely. Overall a great vibe & definitely a new go-to next time i’m in the area and in the mood for a crepe.
