1800 Cafe

Do they have gluten free options like bread?

Nope. They have gluten-free options like fruit.

Do they have vegan options?

Very limited. There is NOT a vegan grill, everything is cooked on one surface.

Can anyone tell me if the 1800 Cafe has air conditioning? My 89 yr old auntie does not do well out in the heat.

It was not hot when I went there it was only a warm day but it seemed comfortable. It's in a newer building so it might have an air conditioner

Their drinks are always amazing and they recently added in outside seating. Whenever we want to indulge in a unique craft cocktail, we come to Luna Sea. So I really can't recommend them enough.

It's also right across from the main three office buildings on California and the only elevated bar in the immediate area, so it's a big hit for those looking to grab a drink after work. My only gripe is that it's very small and always pretty packed. Seating is often limited or completely unavailable so be prepared to stand, but the bartenders do a great job churning out drinks quickly to accommodate the crowd. I can see this place doing very well long-term just based on location - just be sure to get there early!

Reservations were nearly full but luckily we got a spot early in the morning. The place was packed, but I see why. I loved their drinks as well as their Tom Yum Paella. The portion was a bit small compared to other places however the flavor was immaculate! Months go by and I'm still thinking of this dish. The green sauce was what really made the dish top tier in my opinion. I truly loved how unique this dish was and I can't wait to try more! Staff were super friendly. We were a party of 3 and they sat us in a booth. We're all foodies and we tend to order a lot sometimes so I loved how much space we had at the booth. It was truly perfect!

We arrived just before 11 on a Saturday and were seated right away, which is always a plus. But as we left around noon, it was really filling up and I felt we timed our visit just right. The interior is done in a beautiful art deco style with gold accents and velvet, glass light fixtures. I really appreciate the attention to detail - which even extended to the bathrooms. Our server was friendly and efficient. Everything went smoothly, which is always a plus. The food was also great. My husband went with the waffle which was topped with ice cream, berries, and a chocolate sauce. He reports that it was delicious--he finished the plate in its entirety. I went with the Ahi Tuna Salad because I wasn't terribly hungry. And it was perfect - the ahi was cooked just right, seasoned well, and the salad has exactly the right amount of dressing. So good! We will probably be back in the area in a couple of weeks, and I expect that will mean a return visit to The Royale. Thanks for a lovely dining experience.

Next time I'm in tinez / pleasant hill, I'm going to beg my wife for us to go here. And also there's even a kid menu. The Mexican chocolate cheesecake was impossibly good. My sons apparently looked tired because we were sitting here a while. So the server popped out with complimentary churros for them. Not just amusement park churros. These were gourmet churros with a spoon of gelato. Love this place.

I looked around and found this spot tucked away in Pleasant Hill. Decided to take a chance and I'm glad I did. First I went with my mom who's on the wiser side and they had a private party on the side with all the low top tables. Without us asking they grabbed us a table and set it up for us so she could sit. AMAZING. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!!! I got the Cajun Alfredo creamy and flavorful and not spicy. The clam chowder soup was delicious too. I will def be coming back here because the service and food was so good. If you're looking for a new spot with a neighborhood feel look no further. Try this place!!!

CONS: - None I stand firm in my 5 stars. This place is now a fave of mine for sure. Highly recommended!
