I am a flight attendant with celiac disease. With this being said, I travel the world looking for gluten-free food. Stumble across this gym in Irvine. The food was absolutely Michelin grade and the service was outstanding!!!! Mariah was so sweet and made my birthday so special. This is the first totally gluten free restaurant I’ve found in the world that has such amazing food!

My son took me here for Mother's Day. It was nice, everyone was nice, professional, quick, not crowded. We were seated immediately our waiter Caden was the best. The food was so good we both cleaned our plates. They had a woman who was a great singer and guitarist, who played during the meal. We had the privilege of meeting the owners, and we told him how wonderful his restaurant is. We definitely will be coming back, with friends and family.

Gluten free menu with many options! French toast was so good! Their gluten free sourdough was great as well, I'll be back for a loaf of that . They have a bakery ordering options to pick up items like sourdough, English muffins, cinnamon buns, and pizza dough. I will be back for that option for sure. Pretty atmosphere inside. Good service , gave great recommendations.

Cute hidden little bistro with really good food. The most amazing French onion soup with gluten free bread cubes. No cheese for me but still amazing and a really good gf French toast. Experience was made even better by the wonderful service from Lynette. Will be back next time I am in town.

I wish I would have taken a picture of all the food we ordered to try for our 1st visit! I was so excited that everything was gluten free in the restaurant! Everything was very good. My friend and I tried the popover carousel, french toast, American breakfast and eggs benedict plus a side of avocado. The thick cut bacon was amazing!

Incredible dedicated gluten free breakfast/lunch place. Blown away by the made to order cinnamon rolls hot out of the oven on a cast iron skillet, and their out of this world sourdough bread. I've been a gf baker for 20 years and my daughter works in a gf bakery. I am very impressed with the taste and texture of their bread, and my son, the gluten eater agrees! The staff is lovely, and it's a beautiful location inside and out. Lots of little touches of love throughout. Everything is fresh and from scratch, and it shows. The tartines and the American breakfast are fab! Also, the thickly sliced smoked bacon, hello, maybe the best we've ever had. I had the pleasure of eating there twice before heading back to the Bay and I miss it already. Fortunately for me, I was able to make room for their giant sourdough loaf in my carry on!

I had a wonderful time!!! The food was delicious and fresh, plus it didn't make me sick. I got to eat bread safely for the first time in ages. The staff was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I had the savory breakfast crepes, which were delicious. The atmosphere was great and the inside has a charming French bistro vibe. Tell all your gluten free pals about this amazing spot!!!!
