![]() They have gluten free bread on the menu for brunch items and sandwiches, plus lots of nice smoothies and some outside tables. We didn’t eat here but I wanted to mention it in case the line for Fig Tree Cafe is too big. This little place was two doors down from Fig Tree. It wasn’t too sickly either, but definitely packed a sugary punch! All that delicious gluten free food was easily washed down with fresh orange juice and a foamy chai tea latte.We really rated this brunch spot – nice and airy, with friendly helpful staff. It was huge! Two thick slices of gluten free bread cut in half with all the drizzle. French toast stuffed and topped with raspberries and drizzled with white chocolate sauce. We also tried the Valentine French toast on gluten free cinnamon and raisin bread as it sounded epic. ![]() It was lovely – on wholegrain gluten free bread with wilted spinach, sundried tomatoes and a buttery hollandaise sauce on perfect poached eggs. We had the Tuscan eggs Benedict with added prosciutto and a side salad instead of potatoes. They advised me not to have anything from the fryer (potatoes and chips) but said they would take extra care to avoid cross contamination when preparing my brunch and the bread would be cooked in a clean pan. Fig Tree EateryĪ cute little cafe that was fab for gluten free and very reassuring about coeliacs needs. We tried one of their campfire cupcakes and some other treats too – everything was scrumptious. My husband reckons he prefers them to regular bread and I was happily munching them straight from the bag. Whatever else you order will be excellent too, but those pretzel rolls were something special. Please have one of their gluten free pretzel rolls – do ittttt. This really is a must-visit place while you are in San Diego. ![]() So let’s start with that gluten free bakery I mentioned! This wonderful fully gluten free bakery is also free from a number of other allergens ( check out their website for full details). Bag yourself a gluten free picnic (with supplies from the nearby gluten free bakery) or eat at one of these gluten free friendly cafes in the local neighbourhood. ![]() There is some fantastic architecture to behold, a Spanish village and some beautiful landscaping to walk around. This fabulous park houses San Diego zoo and is definitely worth a visit, whether or not you visit the zoo. Gluten Free San Diego Balbao Park and Surrounds I hope you enjoy San Diego as much as I did! There is even a gluten free bakery here (plus a couple of additional dedicated gluten free locations, which have opened since our visit)! I also found some outstanding gluten free brunch spots that could cater for me as a coeliac. We loved the city’s mix of green space, sandy beaches and urban drive and we found lots of amazing gluten free food to keep us going. As part of our 2017 California road trip, we headed to the Southern city of San Diego. ![]()
