The Mission
Go hungry but expect a line because this local brunch spot is popular. The Mission has flavorful gluten-free alternatives, such as gluten-free French toast with cinnamon swirls so large that you can see the cinnamon goodness from the next table. This spot is great for groups with and without allergies because whichever menu you ask for, you will surely find something worth the wait.
