My croissant loving son was diagnosed with celiac disease in September. I almost cried today watching his happiness as he ate a chocolate croissant at Mariposa’s. 💚
Note: Only writing this to let the owner know in case they aren't aware of the celiac review apps and the recent change. It's otherwise an excellent place with amazing staff and food, hope that it can get resolved for the celiac community.
Something has gone wrong with their sourcing of gluten free ingredients.
I have celiac and suddenly after incorporating this restaurant into my diet my blood work numbers have exploded upwards. I track my numbers very closely multiple times a year and I've done a lot of elimination and it points pretty heavily towards this place as being the culprit. This also reflects in the reviews for find me gluten free website where people are getting violent reactions in the last year. Hopefully they eventually figure out where the gluten is coming from so that other celiac individuals and I can go back here again as their food is otherwise very tasty. I would recommend them to redo the testing that they once did in 2019 to figure out where the source of the problem is. Thank you
We had an amazing evening at The Firefly: the food was just amazing and the staff super nice! Thank you for providing a safe gluten free environment. We cannot recommend more this place
A great gluten-free bakery with good sandwiches. I love Pushkins and this one does not disappoint. They don't have as much food as the other ones or paninis like babes but they still have a pretty good selection of baked goods. It is a very small cute store but there is no seating inside which is not the best in the Sacramento Heat. But I come here often to get baked goods for the house.
I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.
My friend, who is severely celiac, got very sick here. They say all the food is gluten free, but that’s obviously not true. We looked up everything about this restaurant after she got sick and saw the review of some other person on this site who also got sick. They sell a lot of oats, so that’s probably why she got sick. Cross contamination. Watch out!!! For the not celiac’s, the food is good it just isn’t totally gluten free.
I had the California Sandwich on Focaccia and it was so yummy! I was meeting some friends to yap, so I didn’t want to be stuffing my face the whole time and stopped ordering after the sandwich, but I WANTED TO DO NOTHING BUT STUFF THEIR WHOLE PASTRY CASE into my mouth! I’ll definitely have to come back another time on my own just absolute pig out on everything!
My sisters who are gluten free had their jaws to the floor with how many wonderful options they had here. Literally there jaws were to the floor. It was hard to have them eat after because they both had them stuck down there. It was a little embarrassing. The food was great! As someone who can eat gluten, you hardly missed it. Zack signing off.
Amazing food, and the Oaxacan old fashioned is awesome! Also if you are celiac the whole restaurant is gluten free so you can eat everything and not worry!
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.
Their happy hour deal is great. The nacho fries were delicious. Everything was so good we came back for brunch the next day and got the gluten free waffles (they were a bit too sweet, but good nonetheless, wish there was almond butter on it to balance out the strawberry jam? syrup?). Always great to have a gluten free and dairy free place.
Needed a wedding cake for a small group that was vegan & gluten free. It being nut free was an added bonus as we did have a friend with said allergy that I was just going to buy regular cupcakes for. We got the small brownie cake with coffee frosting. It’s a very rich cake and we had plenty of leftovers. It was so cute and the perfect size for our small group.
Absolutely incredible. Not dense like any other GF donut, INCREDIBLE prices. I got 3 donuts and a churro and everything was 10/10. So fluffy and yummy. As someone with Celiac and a true wheat allergy, this made me feel normal for a second! LOVED it. So did my 3 year old, and he is super picky
Unbelievably tasty crispy pillowy chewy gluten-free pizza crust I’ve ever tried. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My go-to so far is the ‘Sofia’ with mushrooms, artichoke & Italian ham. Superb service. Take your date, your mum, or heck yourself, here for a treat!
House bread with garlic butter, hot shrooms (star of the show), and Caesar salad were excellent. I think I would return just for those three things. Joey was an excellent server. I knocked off a couple stars because although our appetizers came out quickly, we waited an extremely long time for our entrées and the pesto fusilli came out room temperature, nearly cold. They accidentally served us a gluten-free widow pizza, and shortly after brought us one with the regular crust. The smoked date purée on the widow sounded intriguing, and although it was tasty, there was way too much slathered onto the pizza. I would not go so heavy handed with that covering the pizza. So overall, the entrees were meh, but the appetizers excellent!
Great food!! Ordered the eggplant, spicy noodles, pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. We finished everything, it was so yummy. Finished with the gluten free chocolate cake, definitely decadent. Will return when we're in town. Service was quick and friendly. Love this place.
Great gluten free dairy free options!
I’ve ordered in and done delivery via their website (which is cheaper than delivery apps by the way) - super high quality food, could not recommend enough :) a new local favorite
Great food! Options for vegans are good. The favorite is the big sweet potatoe fries with the buffalo sauce. The vegan gluten free pizza crust is soooo good.
Small coffee shop. Sells vegan and Gluten free coffee and treats! Right across the Safeway here. Everything is delicious. I would highly reccomend the Dever cupcake for any sweet tooths out there. And if u love your vailla, you will love it more. The cake is very moist and delicious. Its not at all overpowering with vanilla cake and frosting. 😋🫰🫰
I go here all the time for the sweet plantain bowl so I got it catered to my birthday party ! It was a super easy process and my guests said it was the best food they'd had catered at an event! We had vegan and gluten free people and so it was able to accommodate everyone :)
Incredible bowl of noodles! I have a gluten-free diet so it can be hard to find good pho/ramen. And the photo speaks for itself on how much I liked my bowl of rice noodles! Perfectly cooked and seasoned meat, rich broth, and just the right amount. I loved having the extras on the side so that I could personalize the flavoring. As for the atmosphere, I loved the Disco music softly playing but the chairs were a little uncomfortable.
DELICIOUS!!! The flavor was mouthwatering! TOTALLY GLUTEN FREE TOO! First time I’ve had a quesadilla on a small tortilla in years no dining out.
Highly recommended.
Visiting Monterey for the weekend and was looking for a gluten-free cafe to grab some lunch. Ended up at Nece's GF and YUM! The ancient grain bread I chose for my sandwich was superb, the snickerdoodle cookie was just the right amount of sweet, and my dog got all the love while we were sitting outside on the patio. Definitely will return next time I'm in town. :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Donuttery: The Holy Grail of Glazed Glory
I don’t know what kind of wizardry is going on in the back of The Donuttery, but these donuts are not from this planet. I came in expecting “just a donut” and left questioning every donut I’ve ever eaten before this. These are the BEST donuts I’ve ever had—period.
The selection? Absolutely ridiculous. There were more donuts than I have excuses for being late to work. Vegan, gluten-free, sprinkles, filled, frosted, twisted into beautiful little carbohydrate sculptures—I got decision paralysis at the counter and had to call in backup (aka my 2-year-old, who wisely chose pink with sprinkles).
Every bite was like a warm hug from a sugary cloud. The glazed mochi donut was so good I considered writing it into my will. And don’t even get me started on the crème brûlée—I didn’t choose it; it chose me.
Staff was friendly, vibe was chill, and I left with a sugar high and no regrets (except not buying a second box).
Final verdict: If you don’t go to The Donuttery when you’re in Huntington Beach, you’re doing life wrong. 🍩🔥
Very cool environment, great service, delicious food & beer. Love that there are gluten free options and items are marked on menu. Definitely recommend going! 👌
Great 100% gluten free spot! It is also raw and vegan, so it does not have the most traditional meals and desserts but they are still very yummy. I enjoyed the various raw desserts we ordered and my cashew cheese quesadilla.
Food was ok, came out quickly and service was great but it was busy and relatively loud while we were dining. The ramen was the most disappointing to me- noodles seemed borderline overcooked and the broth was just salty but with little actual flavour. I found it to be some of the more blah vegan dishes I’ve had in a while. It was either super spicy or just tasted like rice. The vegan cream cheese seemed a little off to be honest but that’s on me for not saying anything. I will say they’re great at accommodating allergies as I’ve heard they’ve accommodated gluten free + avocado allergy.
I'm a big fan of moonbowls!
-Excellent taste! I had the tofu bowl and really enjoyed the various toppings (you get upto 5). My favorites: fresno chiles, roasted corn, citrus kale.
-Fast delivery, everything was very fresh
-Vegans, vegetarians and gluten free people can easily order. Love that the menu is so nicely labeled.
-Other favorites: The various sauces (ginger-soy and creamy sesame), and sweet potato dumplings
Loved this spot!
Highlights: ambiance is a yes, pizza is a full fak YES. Their pizzas are a tribute to their own favorite pizzas from all over. Isn’t that the cutest and most inventive thing ever?
Order: focaccia and burrata (just do it), enough pizzas to share, and some good drinks. We loved the tribute to the old Costco pizza and the meat lovers. Deep dish pizzas also looked to die for! Also, I’m gluten-free and LOVED their gluten-free pizza (usually I’m left feeling very disappointed but not here)!
Great for: date night, friend hangs, family dinners, and casual solo pizza nights out with your dog (they have two patios for dogs to sit). Kids are welcome too!
Make sure you make a reservation and try and carpool as parking around here is tough on a busy Friday/Saturday night.
