Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

I was excited to try this "Dedicated Gluten Free" Bakery and Cafe, Knead Luv. I ordered three pastries (a serving of carrot cake, chocolate peanut butter brownie, and a chocolate croissant) to go and opted for a perineal favorite, a Tuna Melt, for my lunch entrée. The total was just under $60. (On par with LA prices) But I held judgement until my food arrived. It looked like it was being served at a grade school cafeteria. The most basic, unimaginative presentation I have ever seen at a restaurant in this price point range. I really wanted to like it. The owner, who greated me at the register, seems authentically dedicated to serving a wide range of options all totally gluten free! Amazing! I only hope she takes this review with the spirit in which it is meant - one of "I WANT you to succeed," but you absolutely must step up your game in presentation, and quality (find a way to fully toast/grill the bread so it doesn't crumble when cut), the tuna should be hot, not cool, use better than Kraft American cheese slices and fully melt them under a broiler. The accompanying roasted potatoes were tasty and fresh fruit well chosen for freshness and fully ripe, yum! I have high hopes for this sweet little cafe and really want them to succeed because we need this kind of ootion for those who need gluten free dining. 🥰 The aforementioned pastries will be enjoyed later, so stay tuned for that! They look absolutely delectable!

We had an awesome experience here. The cinnamon roll and donuts were delicious. As someone who is gluten free later in life I appreciated something as good or even better than standard bakery items. They were also so sweet to my kids and made us feel right at home. Very cute comfortable space to dine in. I also heard another family talking about how good the pizza is, we'll have to come back!

Ordered gluten free dairy free cupcakes pretty last minute for a birthday. Sent inspo pictures from Pinterest and they turned out so so good. Best part, they taste amazing! The whole crew loved them. Will be purchasing again soon!
