Delicious. Great service. Dedicated gluten free options

My sister has celiac and I have always hated gf food. But the cinnamon rolls are great and taste maybe even better than the gluten-ful counterpart. My sister was kinda sad that they didn't have any iced coffees but besides that this is a great stop.

ABQ Sits

Worth the wait! Great place for the gluten avoidant.

Marina Hein

Can Always count on this place for delicious gluten-free food. Sometimes staff are weirdly unfriendly, but from reading other reviews it sounds like they’re just doing their best in what sounds like a toxic place to work. I would also be a downer if the stories here and on Reddit about working here are true. So great food but make sure to tip your server if you go!!

Nathan and Mekala know exactly how to provide top-notch customer service along with their entire staff and not to mention the food is delicious, with healthy ingredients. I've ordered the vegan poke bowl, which is perfect on a hot summer day. I'm not vegan and ate every last morsel. I've also ordered the Gone Fishin' bowl, which contains a perfectly cooked salmon portion, coconut rice, mixed greens, local mushrooms, herby cucumbers, pickled onions, sautéed corn, sesame ponzu, green onions, and everything seasoning. Whatever you are in the mood for at la finca, you and your palate will not be disappointed. I love that this restaurant sources from local places with their produce and is a 100% gluten-free kitchen. They are vegetarian/vegan friendly, dietary sensitive, and sustainability focused. I will continue to support this local restaurant and hope that you will enjoy it just as much as I do. La finca, thank you for making quality bowls with quality ingredients. *****A bonus is that they sell two stoned Betties hand crafted jewelry at their cash register. I couldn't help myself and bought a gorgeous pair of earrings that were calling my name. The earrings I bought are hypo-allergenic hand painted guitar picks with the New Mexico Zia symbols painted on them along with a roadrunner and heart-shaped zia charm on the ends. Supporting local means so much to me because my husband and I own PT First Physical therapy clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Have a blessed day, y'all!

Beat gluten free bread. The hot soup and sandwich lunch was scrumptious. I got a few pastries to take home and they were just okay.

Karen Herrera

Coffee is top-notch. Gluten-free options are wonderful. 1st empanada I've had in more than 30 years. Grateful!!

Chloe Colette

Casual and homey. Loved the enchiladas and huevos rancheros. Also had the salmon tacos and, tres peaches, wedding cookies, and gluten-free pie. Well priced. Will definitely stop by again!

The best🎉 vegan restaurant my family and I visited so far in the USA🌞👌🌟. We were passing by Santa Fe and needed to choose a place to eat. Being vegetarians, we always try to find good vegan or vegetarian places to eat. And, after finding this restaurant and seeing some bad reviews that people of Indian origin wrote I knew I would love the place: if they think the food isn't spicy🔥🔥 enough for them it means that people CAN actually eat it and not burn the hole in their stomachs and feel all the flavors and shades of different vegetables and varieties of delicious dishes. I have lived in India, and I can relate. Plus, with us we had a doctor who does some energetic healing 🧘‍♀️🧘 and it was his first experience of eating Vata-Pitta-Kappha balanced food and he said he felt energetically much better after having it (he had some stressfull days prior)- he got the "South Indian Sampler" dish wich is all doshas balansing (the menu said that). Special thank you for your vegan and gluten free sweets: it's really rare find to get that good of the deserts that are tasty and won't give you a diabetic coma :))). Just enough amount of sugar for me❤️ Very friendly and caring personell🤗. Will come again to eat here when visiting this beautiful and vibrant city😎💓🫶💫

Seems like the Flying Star has been around for 40 years now...and ABQ staple! Great deserts and a fun place to hang out. Love their breakfasts. It's not their hay day anymore, but still solid. Good gluten free options.

Lainie Ettinger

The Santa Fe Teahouse is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast or lunch while exploring Canyon Road and the historic Eastside. The London Fog teas are incredible (try the Santa Fe fog) and the gluten free scones are the best I've ever had. The whole menu is great and the staff are lovely.

Liv Campbell

It's a great place to hang out, and it used to be one of my favorite places to grab coffee and a treat. I don't mind paying a little more because things cost more. But the quality has really dropped. But there's always french fries or the other pastry options. I hope they continue to create gluten-free options!

Pamela Cowan

The gluten free pancakes are delicious!. They messed up our order and it was delayed by 30 min.. A little misplacing of our order. But I would come back! The place was clean and we beat the Sunday brunch rush! Great place!

Tiana Mcbride

Love this bakery. They have homemade seasonal syrups for their coffee and an amazing selection of gluten free and vegan pastries. They just made a vanilla vegan cake for my friends sons birthday. With cherry filling and a vegan vanilla buttercream. The kids LOVED it!! And it was BEAUTIFUL!!

Kathleen David

Amazing gluten free crepes. So delicious! Coffee is great, atmosphere wonderful.

Joshua Stauffer

Amazing gluten free option! Almost anything fried they can make gluten free. I got a buffalo chicken sandwich and it was amazing.

Chris Nyman Weller

It is with great sadness that I rate flying star only 3 stars. several years ago, restaurant had two or three wonderful options for those of us who cannot eat wheat. (Gluten-free pastries) Since then, they have discontinued one and then the other and then another of their gluten-free products, moved them around, switch them out, and now seem to have only one... which is the gluten-free very berry scone. Somehow, in the process have also made the scone almost inedible (!?!) It used to be a little crumbly, a little dry, but basically very tasty and a good substitute for someone who cannot no longer enjoy the finer things in life that containing the wheat grain. But they've changed the recipe or the cooking method or something. (My suspicion is they've cut back butter (again) and perhaps changed some other ingredients?) but the scone is pretty much almost inedible now - unless I take it home, moisten it up with some mist from my kitchen sprayer, and heat it very gently in the microwave. Which totally misses the point of going to the café in the afternoon for a coffee and pastry. Coffee and pastries used to be one of the greatest joys in my life. Now that my intestines tell me I cannot eat wheat. I relied on some of the wonderful inventions that Flying Star used to have (such as the morning glory muffin. Which was moist and sweet and tasty. And now... gone.) Each time they make a change they seem to cut out one of the things that brings me in... and pretty soon there will be nothing left.

This is a commercial bakery with an embedded restaurant. Parking is off street, in front of the bakery. You go through the bakery shop to get to the restaurant. There was not wait when we visited on a weekday morning. We got gluten free blue corn blueberry pancakes with pinions, a side of green chili sausage, and a Mediterranean omelet with smashed breakfast potatoes. The omelet was very tasty, with a healthy portion of feta and kalamata olives. The breakfast potatoes, baked then smashed and fried crispy were the star of the show. The green chili sausage was good but not exceptional. The blue corn pancakes were tasty, with a reasonable portion of pinions on top. Like many gluten free options, they lacked structural integrity. They were almost as good as the equivalent blue corn pinion pancakes at the Flying Tortilla (which are not gluten free). There was a window to the commercial bake ry floor in the dining room where we were seated. We enjoyed watching cinnamon rolls being made during breakfast. It was a little pricey, $50 breakfast for two, but I felt like I got my money's worth.

Usually a line especially on the weekends but it moves at a decent pace. While waiting they have menus available. You order at cashier then sit at your table. Waiter will bring drinks and food. You can add on to order while you eat. When finished they pay. You can order from the bakery on the way out. If they are busy it’s easier to go out of the side door instead of front door. There are gluten free options available. If you have multiple food allergies you can order from sides where there are many options. There are a lot of drink options as well.

Boygirl Collection

The online menu serves no justice compared to going in and catching the vibe. I wanted to order 3 different meals 😩 I don't know how I missed the mac n cheese grilled cheese sandwich but, that's what I ordered thankful that the employee sold me by simply giving me my choices. When I come back to visit this is for sure on my must-eat list. They have gluten-free opinions which works out as well for those who have celiac. Yes. I was very big backed eating this 😆 🤣

Dale Zinn

We quit going when they charged for hot water And lemon but iced water is free.. Most expensive gluten free pizza on the planet

BreAnn Kathman

Food was great! Service was amazing and the atmosphere is chill. I am a gluten free human and they have WAFFLES THAT ARE DELICIOUS!! All the food was amazing!

Kimberlee Mann

Passing through town and stopped for coffee and breakfast. Happy to see all of the gluten free options. We sat out on patio and Sunday morning bluegrass is where it’s at. It was a lovely experience.

christopher brownlee

I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac. This means I cannot have gluten. As you'd imagine when traveling through the less populated parts of NM, it can be really hard to find safe options for me to eat. Passion Pie made my girlfriend and I the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had using gluten free waffles. And their service was extremely friendly and fast. Also, they were no more expensive than McDonalds (a place I can't even eat at anymore.) If you are in ToR, you need to go eat here.

Daniel Sussman

Great food, friendly service, many gluten free options.

Cornelia Lange

It is a nice place to visit and sit with coffee or tea and a donut. Also they have gluten free donuts.

Samantha Albrecht

The lattes are affordable and always delicious. They’ve got matcha lattes too. I always get the mocha and a gluten-free muffin, for less than what one drink would cost at some places! Chill environment, wifi, friendly service. They have a big cooler of ready-made lunch foods too. Love Koko 🧡

Angela Chavez

Great coffee shop. Great atmosphere and service. Fabulous gluten free pastries.

Jeanette Maxey

I am allergic to gluten and eggs so I had the açaí bowl. It was THE BEST açaí bowl I have ever had and was a huge portion. I can’t wait to go back!!

Heather McReynolds

Pros: The atmosphere is lovely. The space is beautifully decorated, I enjoy the music and the vibe, there is dog friendly outdoor space available also. They have vegan and GF food options if that is your thing. Cons: The service is slow. Generally there is only one person out front, so they have to alternate between taking orders and making drinks, neither of which happens quickly. The coffee is not particularly good - over roasted and bitter. If it were reasonably priced, that might be ok, but it isn't. They *upcharge* for dairy. They only have a few flavors of syrup. One barista (may have been the owner) commented on processed ingredients when I asked for white chocolate. I get living your ethos through your business practices, but I was there for an iced coffee, not a commentary on my lifestyle choices. All of the pastries are gluten free and they taste like they are made of sand - plus expensive. If I pay $5 for a muffin, it better be the best muffin I've ever had in my life. Spoiler alert: it isn't. They don't have cups for iced drinks (I'm assuming because of the plastic aspect), so they put them in the cups for the hot drinks, which get flimsy. So, to summarize...if you are an entitled, gluten free vegan with a lot of spare time and disposable income, and you don't care if your food is edible or your coffee tastes good, this is 100% the place for you. If you, like me, are a dairy-drinking, gluten munching, single use plastic using sinner, I highly recommend Coffee Apothecary for outstandingly delicious coffee with rock solid sourcing practices & environmental ethics and considerate, competent local service. Or Koko for a great drink selection and many delicious food items, healthy or indulgent or both. I don't think I'll be going back. But yeah, save the world by charging for cow's milk, go for it.

Beaudie Stroebel

Love the hatch burger had it twice in 3 days. Super cute environment. I am gluten free and didn't get sick eating here. Cool drink ideas as well.

Bill Adkison

A very nice place for dinner, and they cater to gluten-free and dairy-free requirements, along with serving really good food. The service is great, too.

laura cockfield

Really great food and smoothie. I had the gluten-free Cuban crêpe and the paradise smoothie. The smoothie was the best smoothie I have ever had ever. And the crêpe was super delicious. The owner was very nice and accommodating and it’s a sweet little atmosphere.

Ashley

I'm a bit bummed that they advertise as a coffee house with gluten-free options, but when you get there to ask what is gluten they tell you it's only available 2x a week, Tuesday and Thursday. The whole reason we chose this particular coffee shop this Saturday was for the gluten free options. While drinking our coffee, there were 3 other customers asking for gluten free options 🫤 The atmosphere is nice, though. However, we won't be coming back. It's a bit overpriced.

Shirley Chen

You can taste the quality, delicious and thick sipping chocolate. They also have a great selection of vegan or gluten free treats, I loved the whiskey torte.

Laurie Moreau

Very cute! Locally owned diner and coffee shop. They have gluten-free bread and bagels and can do paninis on either! I enjoyed a club on gluten-free bread, mom had a great chicken salad and my sister-in-law had a bacon and egg croissant for lunch. The bacon on my club and her croissant was wonderful - thick and cooked to perfection. This will be my new go-to if I'm in Santa Rosa before they close at 2:00 p.m. It is kid friendly with books, crayons and coloring books at a small children's table. They also sell some kitschy gifts, bath bombs, etc.

Emily Schromm

Such a fun, unique spot to stop on my long drive. Gluten free bread and matcha = happy me!!!

Sarah Emory

Our family has been going to this coffee shop since its opening in 2019. We would drive 60 miles in to town from our ranch for honey lattes, breakfast sandwiches and banana bread! They also make the most delicious gluten free chocolate chip cookies! Everything is freshly baked and the ingredients are natural. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with excellent customer service. Whether you are a local looking for an excellent cup of coffee or a weary traveler along Route 66, stop in to Mount Taylor Coffee, you will not be disappointed! The owner and his family are wonderful people and we so appreciate what they do for the town!

Nettie Atkisson

Fresh flowers. Gluten-free options. Don’t be afraid of the line. They work quickly. They make their own bone broth. Fresh salads. Amazing gluten free bread and sourdough. They even have a blue corn bread. Salads, sandwiches, soups and bowls. A nice break from all the cheese I have been eating ay other places;). Fresh. Delicious. We went two times while in Taos. It’s the way I would like to eat every day of my life.

John Hewson

Coffee shop with really great espresso drinks and baked goods (including gluten free). The vibe is energetic and it’s on the louder side unless you want to sit on the very nice patio so be aware of that.

C L

EXCELLENT place for breakfast!! This is the cutest little Cafe with really great food options. Everything was delicious and service was EXCEPTIONAL!! We found this on the Find Me Gluten Free app as my son has Celiac's disease. It was a great place with several options to choose from.

Bhavisha Patel

Must go. This Brazil pour over with white chocolate and currant biscotti is my morning joy. Love the bookstore and great music in background. Will definitely come back. The bagel is fresh and fluffy! Gluten free cinnamon muffin yum!

Sheloa Nichols

✨Phenomenal ✨ coffee, handy location, lovely courtyard. We went twice in one day. Really nice staff too, regret not getting any food which looked great and included vegan and gluten free options. Definitely recommend.

Shawn

Madcrema is such a gem! The food and coffee are absolutely delicious—and at a great price. The atmosphere is cozy, cute, and has that perfect homestyle feel that makes you want to stay a while. I love that they offer vegan and gluten-free options too. You can really tell they care about the details, from roasting their own beans to creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Can’t wait to come back!

What a great restaurant! This was our first time visiting and it was delicious. There were four of us and we all tried something different: the portobello burger and marsala fries with a homemade bun, the gluten free eggplant wrap with the spicier lentil soup, the beet salad, and the South Indian sample platter. Everything was fresh, reasonably priced, the staff was friendly, and plenty of parking. We were all very happy with our meals even the 2 meat eaters in the group. We all recommend the food and will definitely go back again.

Jonathan Baucom

My server was very nice and friendly. The gluten free club sandwich lacked any effort other than to assemble the pieces. Everything was basically falling apart on the plate. Generally gluten free bread crumbles if it's not toasted, and there was no effort to make an assembled sandwich on this day. Jason deli does a much better job actually. The gluten free cupcake selection was a delight, however. The German chocolate cupcake was awesome. I just don't think I'll make an extra effort out of my way to pursue the gluten free options in the future, based on the price and the lackluster sandwich.

Michael Guiang

A nice and cozy atmosphere to meet with friends or have a solo outing. Went there for my first time with a friend and did some drawing in our sketchbooks while having a matcha and gluten free donut. The atmosphere on a late Saturday afternoon provided a lo-fi playlist with the look and feel that would definitely cater to millennials and a gen-z clientele but is welcoming for all. I would venture to this cafe again in the future but the distance is the only thing deterring me from doing so! Hoping for a new addition in the northeast heights!

Sheera Lum

This place makes my week every time I go. It is such a peaceful place to spend my lunch hour, and the person working the register manages to calm my soul no matter what kind of day I am having. The food is so wholesome and intentionally made with good-for-you ingredients. My go-to favorite dish as of late is the gluten-free chicken pesto crepe.

Tricia Fellows

I went to Wecks today with my family and they were packed but everyone was so friendly and they did such a good job working so well together, like a smooth oiled machine. And the food was delicious, I have to be gluten free so it's hard to find a restaurant I can count on to not be sick afterwards so I don't go out much and they actually have a gluten free menu! Today I have found a new place I can trust! Thank you all! Great job!

Bella Maldonado

Coffee is good, matcha was yummy. Gluten free and regular fresh pastries and other food. Staff is awesome. Good prices. Did go back and would make this my regular spot if I lived here. Really cool, artsy, hippie kind of vibes. Big outdoor covered space and cozy indoors. Couch, chess, books, items for sale, etc...
