Nece's Gluten Free Bakery is an absolute must-visit! Everything is 100% gluten-free, from bagels,…read morescones, and cookies to soft pretzels, muffins, and cinnamon rolls. It's rare to find GF baked goods this light and fluffy. They must have a secret flour blend because everything is incredible and doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterward. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood shopping center, the shop is cozy, clean, and has a few spots to sit. There's ample parking and an understandable line out the door, but the staff is wonderfully friendly, helpful, and keeps things moving smoothly!

Delicious! My son requires GF and nut free treats and he really enjoyed his Dairy free brownie. (To…read morebe clear, they do have some treats with nuts on the menu) As for me, I ordered an oatmilk latte and a lemon poppyseed muffin. The muffin made my eyes pop with the burst of incredible flavor and it was huge! It was delicious and definitely one of my favorite muffins ever! We experienced a problem with our drink cups though. My husband's coffee would drip down the front with each sip. Then I found that mine was leaking as well. I removed my lid and it looked like the rim of the cup was collapsing and getting soggy from the heat of the drinks- like how paper straws fall apart. Luckily, my husband wore a black shirt that hid the stains but it was really annoying to have to deal with that as we were too far to go back and have the cups replaced.

Gluten-free Italian food? Yes! Surprisingly, everything from the bread, starters, entrées, sides,…read moreand house-made desserts contain NO gluten. Although I don't have to be gluten-free, I certainly feel better with my reduced intake. Finally, a bread plate can be set before me and I can eat a slice with their unique dipping sauce that is reminiscent of a Chinese dipping sauce. Here's what we had: gluten-free bread + dipping sauce - bread was super soft arancini - crispy-on-the-outside and cheesy-on-the-inside fried rice ball, there were some bits on the outside that were hard pork chop with polenta - this was a special and the pork was perfectly cooked and juicy, 5 out of 5 halibut piccata with mashed potatoes - solid preparation, no complaints mushrooms with polenta - mild tasting birthday cake - beautiful looking, but stodgy at the base Although I'd come back for the pork chop, everything was well-prepared and nobody left disappointed. Service was very attentive.

Tucked away underneath Charley's is a gem of a restaurant called Polenteria. With the feel of a…read moreEuropean bar and 50s era dining room, Polenteria has a menu featuring twists on classic items such as Short Rib, Eggplant Parmesan and a unique variety of polenta dishes. The bread and butter appetizer is super fresh and a great starter. The focaccia is reminiscent of pound cake in its moistness and density. The Chicken Marsala was just right, not overcooked and loaded with mushrooms and string beans on a bed of puréed mashed potatoes. The Watermelon & Crispy Pork Belly salad was different from any salad I've ever had. There was a soft bacon-like quality to the pork belly cubes and the watermelon had been seared and seasoned. The Limoncello Martini was a bit vodka-forward but good. I organized a company holiday dinner there a couple years ago and their manager was very accommodating. Apparently they opened the restaurant for us on an evening that they are normally closed. But there were 3 or 4 other parties seated nearby so we didn't have the entire place to ourselves which was fine but a little surprising. I tried the massive Tomahawk Steak while other people ordered their polenta dishes and Scallop Risotto. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and had a memorable night. Overall, Polenteria is a special experience for those who are interested in gluten-free fusion Italian dishes.

Love having a safe zone to eat! It's always fascinating to…read moreme to be able to eat anything on the menu and not have to verify that it's safe with the staff (and hope they know what gluten means!) We came in on a Saturday morning for brunch - we sat in the cozy restaurant and looked over the menu. The menu is on the smaller side, was hoping for a waffle or pancakes, but instead had country breakfast, avocado toast, bruschetta and a few other options. They were out of the avocado toast so we ended up with 2 country breakfasts and one bruschetta plus a flat white. Country breakfast was tasty - served with a biscuit, but no butter or jam was offered. The Bruschetta was super tasty and the potatoes were amazing (way too much red bell pepper for me but that is because that is one veggie I can not stand!) The service was great, the staff were all so friendly and space was cozy and so cute. I did grab some treats on the way out - 'beignets" - they were more like a solid donut to me, but so so yummy! I even shared with my kids - not sure they appreciated it but they said they were really good! The cinnamon roll was really tasty, the cinnamon coffee cake muffin was ginormous and i split between 2 breakfasts with coffee - heated up a little and were devine Will be back for brunch and mimosas next!!

Some of the clientele can be a bit rude if you are not who they expect in that environment (iykyk), but that's Danville/Contra Consta County in general I think. For ex. a grandma came in with her grandson. I smiled and waved at him on the way in. While they were leaving, she completely hit my chair to the point where I almost fell out of it, and she didn't even apologize, but that's not the cafe's fault. I only write this to let you know expect some of that behavior. Another elderly gentleman kept coming in front of me while I was completing my bakery order b/c he couldn't wait to be served, etc. but other elderly patrons were lovely. Ordered a spring omelet and got something else instead (with meat!), and they corrected the mistake w/o making me feel bad and gave me extra potatoes. I got to steep my tea the way I wanted to!!! Next time I'll ask for extra hot water. Sat outside during the light rain by myself, so pleasant. Got baked goods and I shouldn't have assumed they didn't have proper pasty boxes for it all, they do. You just have to ask that all your baked goods don't go in one box. The amicable server last time, took my order this time as well. She strives to make everyone feel comfortable and the morning rush shows this. Got 4 cupcakes and she suggested the mango, omA so freaking good! Not too sweet or greasy which is a common problem with dedicated gluten free goods. I only ordered 4 cookies this time and both the scones. I should have gotten a whole box of those lemon blueberry scones, divine! Came home and my daughter said you didn't get a brownie, oh gosh, sorry, next time! This is by far the best dedicated gluten-free restaurant in all of the Bay Area. It trumps Mariposa's, it trumps Pushkin's in Sacramento (not in the Bay Area, but I have enjoyed their restaurant while I am there), it trumps Stacks which have dedicated gluten-free menus, but I've always had reactions after eating there. I've never had a bad stomach reaction after eating here and I am just so happy this place exists.

Lots of tables inside, and some outside. I will definitely return if I'm in downtown Danville again.

as someone who has the diet of a moderately carnivorous unemployed divorced man this place is…read morepretty good! i wasn't sure at first whether their stuff would taste good but it was not bad, especially considering the quality and mission of the business. also the owner is super cool location - in the plaza near ohlone. has a staircase going down (don't trip! a vegan GF chocolate cake won't cure a broken ankle). the place is very earthy, foresty, garden of eden esque. my question is why be so earthy in your decor and NOT PLAY AN ERYKAH BADU SONG??? badu the queen of earthiness herself. not even a shoutout. ugh. yall should be BLASTING her songs on repeat until people get sick of her voice service - great! got to know the owner sway who is super nice. noticed affirmations for coworkers on the wall, so cute! food - yes yes everyone is saying it's overpriced. lowkey it is. i'm not gonna complain because the quality is better. it is funny though that they're near ohlone which is chock full of broke teens so maybe not the best for business HAHA iced matcha latte (like $10 i think): not bad! creamy, nice color. a little too light on the matcha so don't expect an entire field of japanese grass in your drink. better if unsweetened trust me. 7/10 chocolate cake with vanilla frosting ($7 ish?): somehow achieved a deliciously light frosting and moist semisweet cake! considering their limitations that is impressive. 9/10 overall 4/5. fnf slays. if i come back and they play badu i will move it to 5/5. great for people with diet stuff idk (i don't play with diets sorry guys)

I must admit that I still have a knee-jerk reaction of rolling my eyes whenever someone tells me…read morethat they are gluten-free (NOT counting those that have Celiac/gluten allergies). However, I will say that one good thing that has come from this movement is the plethora of innovative gluten free bakeries and eateries that serve up tasty products. I first learned about Sweet Diplomacy when my neighbors gave me some cupcakes from here that tasted amazing. When I looked them up, I was surprised to learn that they were in Los Altos as I live nearby and had never heard of them. The shop is very cute and homely and feels as if you are in someone's home kitchen. Although they seem to specialize in cupcakes, they also serve a number of other gluten-free and even vegan items. I should note that this bakery focuses on more desserts (ie cookies, cakes, tarts, etc.) rather than pastries (ie croissants and buns). I never thought that my new favorite go-to bakery would be a gluten-free one. As a Mountain View resident, I must say that it is also nice not to have to trek to Palo Alto in order to get some tasty cupcakes!

I was standing at the glass for a while before being acknowledged. Someone finally came over, and I asked if the Ube Black Sesame cookie was vegan since the display writing was a bit smudged. The staff member confirmed, so I got that cookie and a Gingersnapperdoodle since I loved it before. I also asked about the Brownie, but did not receive a very helpful reply. My question: Is the brownie very rich? The response: It's like any other brownie. I'm not a fan of chocolate items that are super rich, and some brownies are fudgy, but some are more mild. I'd expect someone working there to be a bit more helpful and descriptive. I ended up not getting a brownie. Lowering my rating because the service was subpar, and the Ube flavor was nonexistent in the Ube Black Sesame cookie. The Gingersnapperdoodle was still yummy like before, but had a more sandy texture than last time.
