horrible service. i ordered a blueberry muffin and the person next to me ordered one a minute after. they had me pay for it and then told me they were all out and gave it to the person. this was after waiting in line for 20 minutes. the staff has absolutely no manners. if your looking for good gluten free food with good service save yourself some time and choose a different bakery. they also do a horrible job at making accommodations. i ordered myself an omelet and told them i could not eat mushrooms and they gave me an omelet with mushrooms. then got annoyed and took another 20 minutes to make me a new one. and it was undercooked and smaller than the actual serving size.

I love this place so greatly, when I lived downtown I would eat here on the regular. The best thing is it is very inclusive of most diets and has a pretty nice selection of vegan and gluten free items, including at some times of year seasonal cakes and pies.. yumm.. However, today in summertime, their were more choices in the salad and entree bar; including some delicious looking pasta salads, and did I mention how high quality all the ingredients are? Today I kept it simple, and got the gluten free vegan snickerdoodle cookies. They are like puffs of sweet satisfying heaven. I can have few with a small latte and just allow my mind to travel and vacation for a moment. The latte which I had for their, in a cup, making it all the more cozy was divine. Steamed well as for the almond mylk, and had a lovely sweet nutty flavor to the espresso. Very quick service btw. Thats the beauty of this place is you can go and get a latte and nosh, or an entire meal and perhaps some wine.. I will keep coming back and have heard the best things about the owner, thanks for such a delectable space🙏🏽

Mesa Burger is a buzzy, lively little restaurant with patio seating, shoehorned into the Mesa strip shopping center. Excellent burgers of many kinds, and supportive of gluten free diets. They also have an unadvertised build-a-burger option.

The best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. Bartenders asked me for all of my allergies and have a dairy free option on the menu that is amazing.

Great place for dinner, food was tasty, drinks were great. More than that the place is Gluten free friendly, we have celiac and waiters were very knowledgeable, knew about cross contamination, and recommended accordingly on dishes that will suit us. Gluten free sushi!!

I highly recommend this spot for ice cream. The flavors were delicious and you can really taste how fresh the fruit used in the flavors are. I would also like to say how wonderful the staff is. I have celiac disease and as soon as the employee heard they offered to go to the back of the store and scoop from a fresh tub to avoid cross contamination. This was so incredibly kind. I have never requested this at any ice cream place because I didn’t want to inconvenience the staff so having them offer it here was so nice. I can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful dinner. Stopped by while passing through on a Monday evening mid March 2025 after Grand Prix. Amazing food, catered to gluten allergies and best drinks and dessert I’ve had in months. I hope to return every time I pass through after the races. Just absolutely incredible!!

Amazing. I got a rosemary garlic sourdough filone today. Beautiful loaf, crispy crust and light airy center. Might be the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had. I will definitely be ordering again 💘
