I stopped in, eager to pick up some gluten free pastries. Also, i have someone close to me that is on the spectrum and wanted to see what it was like so i could suggest to them a new job opportunity. I had a closed bag from Tous de Jours with macaroons in it and woman emerged from the back of house and scolded me "you cant have that bag in here because you will send our customers to the hospital!!" ... I was so shocked that I just walked out.
Macaroons are typically gluten free, and to think... there were no other customers in the store aside from me and my sister. I will not recommend it as a work place for someone on the spectrum because I wouldn't want them to be subjected to such rudeness. Unfortunately I will not be back and I will spread the word around the community.
And I read some of the responses and the attitude is disturbing and all the reviews must be from interactions not involving the woman I encountered. I couldn't wait to see what i got as a reply. I love to see this woman make excuse for horrible service. Instead of being polite and saying "ma'am, you cannot bring outside food in here" she did absolutely scold me and my bagged gluten free macaroons were in another closed bag. And I dont like when people bring up God and try to use his name to demean others. Gluten free double bagged macaroons CANNOT send anyone to the hospital. Please educate yourself and take a lesson of good manners for the sake of those you say you're trying to help. My rating was based on the single reaction I had with you and it's a shame because first impressions matter. I thought you were having a bad day but it just seems natural for you to have a nasty defensive attitude instead of apologizing for the bad experience and encouraging me to come back to try again.
Great atmosphere, great food, great service...we had a wonderful time taking in all the sites. Check out the pictures.
Information from the website. Hundreds of Swarovski crystals glisten on so many chandeliers, including a massive shower of light over the bar, which is separated from the dining area by a gold-sequined rope.
Behind grand French doors, the bakery area serves several different flavors of Cake Bake's towering, signature layer cakes, including gluten-free options, plus pies, macarons, and other desserts
I came into town for work and knew I could find gluten free options at cafe patachou. Loved the gluten free avocado toast! Service was quick and friendly.
Don't know what happened, this place use to be great, maybe it was an off-day but my experience was terrible today. The waiter forgot to put in our coffee, we weren't served water, food came out with nothing to drink. My gluten free toast was stale and as hard as a cracker, my extra hollandaise was missing, the coffee was either burnt or had sour milk. The food came out tepid at best.
Hopefully it was just a bad day, but wow. What a fall from grace if this is the new norm.
This was a great breakfast/lunch place that we'd never heard of. We actually ended up eating here 2 days in a row. The food choices overall are good, and there should be something for everyone. The food itself was really good both trips. My one complaint would be that my omelet the first day was a little dry or overcooked but other than that everything else was spot on. Plus this is one of the first breakfast places ive been that actually had gluten free toast. Everyone in our party seemed satisfied and no one was left hungry.
On a sunny morning on May 7th I came into Rosie's Carmel based on a recommendation of their delicious gluten free options. Joy! As the gentlemen in front of me was being sat up front, after being asked if he wanted to sit at the counter or table. A blonde middle aged server acknowledged me and didn't offer me a table option. I was quickly escorted to the very back of the establishment up against a wall facing the kitchen. Which I now realize was the worst seat in the place. She turned and left with barely a word. As the realization washed over me. It was a weekday, so lots of great open seating options. ALL of the other customers were up front. Coming from Hawaii, I understand I live in a bubble of kindness and diversity. And, for the first time in over 50 years of sheltered life, I realized what this felt like. As a strong independent women, I thought I would be able to handle being treated like I was less of a person. I would like to say I was strong. But, I wasn't. I decided to leave, and politely said I had changed my mind. The blonde middle aged lady just said "okay" with a don't let the door hit you on the way out attitude. As a broken women for the day, I ended up at Caffe Buondi. They sat me next to a friendly man with a barbell mustache. We had a conversation and he remarked how I had ordered his favorite, a Monica (Vegetarian) Frittata, served in a cast iron skillet. You see he goes there twice a week, so he knows his stuff. I also had great service at RiZE Carmel, they have a great Veggie Omelette, that comes with their house salad, highly recommend!
It was delicious! I am Gluten Free and there are so many GF choices. I had the pork tacos which are fabulous. Thank you for amazing service and wonderful food.
Açaí bowl was amazing! Service was fast! Love that their granola is gluten free! As someone who is gluten and dairy free it can be tricky to find gems like this place! Highly recommend!
I live 45 mins away from this location, but I had the pleasure of visiting twice this week. The pulled chicken salad was incredible! I had it both times. Ha.
They offer a few Gluten Free options, as well as Gluten-Free bread. They have smoothies, too.
The patio with umbrellas was great.
Shout out to server Haley who was kind and knowledgeable.
Are used to love eating at this place. However, the last 4 to 5 times that I have came here they did not get my order right. Usually thats not a “big deal”. However, I have a severe gluten allergy. This last time it almost sent me to the ER. They messed up and put their granola which is not gluten-free on my açai bowl. If you have any type of allergies, don’t even bother telling them because they still won’t get your order right. I would not recommend this place to anyone that has any life-threatening allergy. Also, they do have gluten-free granola, but for some reason it doesn’t come to their mind to put that on your bowl instead of the one that could severely hurt you.
I thought their burritos were good, but today, they food at Crazy King went to a whole new level. I tried burrito bowl number 5. It was So Good!! It perfectly blended rice, beans, toppings, cheese, and a fantastic sauce!
As an added bonus, they also have great options that are safe for my wife, who needs to eat gluten-free due to Celiac disease. The owner of Crazy King took her on a kitchen tour to show her their safety protocols. She came away impressed with the care that they take to make sure people with gluten allergies can eat safely!
They also have a fantastic drink selection with unique drinks that you won't find at most restaurants. Drink options include alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic options.
Food that tastes great and is safe for my wife means we will need to add regular Crazy King visits to our budget, and we both are happy to do that.
I’ve had lunch and brunch here! Lunch with the ranch burger was fantastic! The breakfast sandwich was also really good and they have gluten free bread.
Just make sure to order your hash “browns” well done.
I love this new spot in Carmel! It has such an open space design to it. I come here a lot for a quick coffee as the coffee is yummy. They have great gluten free bakery goods options too! Highly recommend this place!
Good service, typical chain restaurant atmosphere. Luckily no overly noisy kids. Gluten free options available. I had a bowl which is a go to for me. The different flavors, textures and colors verre both pleasing to the eye and the palate. 3 of us that late afternoon and we all enjoyed our meal.
This restaurant was close to our hotel, so we gave it a try for breakfast. It was so good that we returned the next morning. The restaurant is located in an office building. Parking is plentiful and the place was not real busy Sunday and Monday. The coffee is very good. We enjoyed the omelette, eggs Benedict, and a standard breakfast. All food was cooked perfectly. The eggs moist, and the hash browns perfectly crispy. Their strawberry jam is made on site - yum. They offer raisin and cinnamon toast too. They do not have gluten free bread, so I brought my own and they graciously toasted it for me. Seating is comfortable and spacious. Recommended!

As someone who is gluten and dairy free, I value the limited restaurant choices I have. Before they rebranded as Maple, this restaurant had one of the best gluten/dairy free waffles. The service also used to be great. When I returned today, after the rebrand, I received one of the driest, densest, and crumbly waffles I have ever had. The service was also slow and bad. When I told the server I did not like the waffle, she did not offer a remake, to order something else, or even an apology. She just offered to take it off the bill. The picture below is all I ate of the waffle. I will not be returning to this restaurant. Horrible food. Horrible service.
You must look beyond the price and portion size to enjoy your fresh ingredients used in an Eggshell Bistro meal.
We enjoyed the made-to-order Gluten Free Shirred Dukkah Egg bowl and the GF Grits with an egg bowl. Both meals were seasoned well and flavorful.
Just a Vegetarian/Vegan warning, most of the VEG-designated meals have an egg included or used within the ingredients, please ask before you order a dish if eggs are not in your dietary dish.
I wouldn’t be able to make it through the day without my hulk chocolate add espresso, multivitamins, immune support, and joint health enhancers. Love that the entire menu is gluten free and customizable for different health benefits, and I legitimately feel better after having my smoothie king! Friendly and fast service every time at this location.
It's a hidden gem you might miss if you aren't careful. The team is friendly and genuinely happy to see you when come in.
The food is delicious and the portion sizes are good, if not generous. I had the breakfast tacos which were packed with great ingredients.
As a bonus, they have gluten-free options such as French Toast and corn tortillas.
The cafe is clean and cozy with comfortable seating and pleasing decor.
This is an affordable choice with great food options, and I will definitely be back.
