    veggie omlette

    Took my daughter here who is celiac for her birthday brunch. We were pleasantly surprised that the entire menu and kitchen are gluten free. this was like a Celiacs dream restaurant. The food was amazing, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant was packed and the menu items were very diverse.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was very attentive and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the overall ambiance was kind of like a diner vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken tenders were moist and the breading was so flavorful. They are known for their fried chicken dishes so I had to try it. And it did not disappoint. This restaurant idea of being all gluten free with such an amazing variety of dishes needs to be copied and multiplied as the food was off the charts and in todays day and age of people needing gluten free options beside salad and corn chips, this was a must go to. Highly recommend!

    I haven't been here in years, but it's the only place in the area that's dedicated gluten free. A nice experience for those of us with celiac. Now I was here from out of town this visit and I feel the quality has declined some. While the menu has expanded and the interior has changed...hopefully they can keep the food standards up long term. Waffle was super soft. Steamed almost it seemed. I like a crispy waffle for chicken and waffles and the waffle used to be. Not anymore. The chicken was a little overcooked so it was slightly dry. Now what was still amazing was the buttermilk syrup. They told me they would sell it to me by the bottle. I definitely bought one and brought it back on the flight home lol. Service was hella slow though. Don't come here if you are in a rush.

    I have been craving chicken and waffles. I discovered this place and they did not disappoint. I couldn't believe they were gluten free. The service was quick and everyone was so friendly. Definitely want to go back and try other things.

    Jewel's Bakery and Cafe offers much needed meals to this underserved food segment. Most places do not take food allergies seriously and it is a gamble if you will be served food that is either crossed contaminated with gluten or totally ignored. What puts this place over the top for me is vegan offerings are available, but most items regular. Service is always excellent at Jewel's! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only wildcard is how busy it will be when you arrive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area maximizes its available space with enough tables without feeling like you're scrunched in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I'm so glad my boyfriend found this place recommended only. Anytime I can find a gluten free restaurant that offers comfort food that's hard to find, and both gluten and dairy free, I'm over the moon! This was definitely worth the visit. There were so many great options that I had to order 2 meals. The breakfast burrito was the bomb! I haven't had a burrito in over a decade and This did not disappoint- I wish I would've ordered 2. The burrito was packed and was a large. With the brunch potatoes, it was definitely 2 meals. Plenty of cheese with the chorizo, eggs and breakfast potatoes was a great combo. I also had to try the chicken and waffles. It was also very very good! I appreciated the waffle was a great size. It was also thick and soft. The chicken was also crispy and pretty good. I also tried a cinnamon roll and brownie. The brownie was good but small, but the cinnamon roll was a bit dry. It was still good. Overall, I highly recommend Jewel bakery and will come back when I'm in Phoenix.

    What I left... if I go back- Chicken & Waffles!! They have never disappointed!

    Fairly disappointed in this latest trip (I generally really enjoy Jewels) I went immediately to the pastry case to get some to go! I highly recommend doing that first; or stepping away after you order to select your goods to go! After that I was seated, the server was very helpful and pleasant. I ordered an Arnold Palmer, a fish sandwich and added onion rings since there was no available upgrade option. I ordered donut holes to go as well. Food was severed fairly quickly and I asked for more tartar as it seemed light in comparison to my preference. I didn't care for the tea and asked for a coke in the bottle; which was quickly brought. Unfortunately, it turned out I don't care for the tartar sauce (it's a dill sauce) nor did I care for the onion ring sauce... I sat for what seemed like quite a long time and finally got up to go ask for my bill... The server caught me and asked if I'd like a box... I replied no, I didn't really even eat it and didn't care for it. He offered to take the onion rings off pointing out I ate half the sandwich. He responded, "Is that good?" I didn't care for the change in attitude at that point but whatever... I was not trying to get free food either. No other solution was offered and I was not going to engage on it. I was charged for the coke and fish sandwich. I literally ate more of my eclair in the box that I got from the counter than the sandwich while I sat there... I was there about an hour...the donut holes never came and I was asked if I still wanted them? No... not now... Just disappointed... I called for a Lyft and left.

    Excellent service. Outdoor seating available. I ordered the DF Belgian Waffle and it was amazing! I can't tell it's GF!! Egg white scrambled was perfectly made. Already bookmarked this spot! The lady was extra nice and friendly

    Arrived on a warm summer morning at opening. The location was packed at 8 minutes after the hour. We were seated and supported with drinks immediately (requested hot water with lemon). When ready to order, the waiter was nearby, pleasant, and attentive. We ordered waffles (vegan), vegetable omelette, side pancake, and side egg whites (scrambled). The food arrived in a reasonable 10 minutes and was delicious. The wife had come to this location the day prior and indicated that the experience and food were consistent. We loved the experience and will be back every time we come through the Phoenix area.

    We were on this side of town so popped over for lunch. Such a cute quaint vibe! The servers are prompt and so friendly! Being GF and our first time here in e ordered several items and came back the next day for more! Everything was absolutely delicious! Belgium waffle, popcorn chicken and donuts, chicken strips, onion rings, fried pickles, fish and chips, burrito. We will come back again soon!

    Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich
    Anne H.

    I have been coming here for several years, usually after class at Metta Yoga (an excellent studio, btw). Today I came with my SO, who supports my efforts to be GF as much as possible. In the past I have tried the avocado toast(best I have had), the chicken and waffles, and sundry treats, coffees and teas. Today was the fried chicken sandwich. I am a fan. First, the chicken was crispy crunchy like "real" fried chicken. The slaw was creamy and a nice accompaniment to the sandwich so it wouldn't be dry, and the bun held up to the heft of the sandwich. My SO had I'm Basic, two eggs, potatoes, applewood bacon and a dinner plate- sized pancake. The pancake was slightly sweet, fluffy, yet had some texture without going to the gummy side. He thought it was very good and said he'd come back to try more options. Score!! Service was very good at keeping drinks filled. I appreciate the table side checkout. It was a Sunday late morning and business was brisk. Be prepared to possibly wait, but know the food will be fresh and tasty.

    Just had breakfast at Jewels Bakery & Cafe, and it continues to be my go-to spot. As someone with a severe wheat allergy, finding a place that's 100% gluten-free and still delivers on flavor is huge. This place nails it. Everything on the menu is excellent, but I usually order the chicken and waffles. It's that good. And if you ever see the cinnamon rolls available, grab one immediately. They're unreal and usually gone by lunchtime for a reason. What I love most is that you don't have to be gluten-free to enjoy it. The food stands on its own. If you're in the area, I can't recommend it enough

    I do think food here is pretty good. But they don't offer any type of waitlist system, or take any reservations. On top of that, they don't have any type of notification system once you put your name down upon arrival. There's no text or a beeper so you have to wait outside (in 100+ degree weather) until your name is called. Any time we come here is a 20-25 mins wait so just be prepared. Also I feel like the quality of food has gone down overtime although there are still few items on the menu I do enjoy, such as the wedge hash brown. But overall, I'm not sure if it's worth the wait.

    What time does the bottomless mimosas end?

    We offer it whenever we are open. Tuesday-Sunday 9-3.

    Does Jewels take reservations?

    No but it is worth going and putting your name in. The food is worth the the wait. Amazing place for anyone - not just gluten free people.

    Dairy , gluten, egg, and bean free here (i know, weird.) i saw pretty great accommodations for dairy/egg free but i realize that they most likely use just egg (egg substitute containing beans) for dredging. is the egg substitute used for that?

    No.

    Is this a dedicated gf facility?

    Yes!

    Hi! Are you able to accommodate a nut allergy? Thanks in advance

    Yes. We do use nuts in a few things though.

    Can you make your waffles without dairy?

    Yes! Lots of DF options.

    Is the patio dog friendly? Haven't been in so long!

    Yes it is! Just took my pup there a few weeks ago!

    Are you guys doing scoffles right now?

    No they're a bakery.

    Are the chicken and waffles dairy free?

    They can be ordered dairy-free. We have dairy free waffles, pancakes, and fried chicken!

I just missed the days when the same guy worked the grill and knew my name and my order by heart. But then, today... There was Karen. Yes, Karen!! Standing over a grill in 117° Arizona heat, she greeted us with patience, kindness, and an actual smile. She let my son take his time ordering without making him feel rushed. And when the ketchup was empty, she didn't shrug it off or point us in another direction. She didn't hand me a thousand little packets since the pump was empty. She simply took care of it. Was it just ketchup? Sure. But it also wasn't. It was someone choosing to care. When other patrons had notified other staff multiple times it was out - Karen found a simple solution without excuses!
