One of the best spots in the city, it’s insane everything is gluten free, it sure doesn’t taste like it. One of the best cafe lattes I’ve ever had as well, will be coming back one day for sure.

Jewel's is a godsend for those of us that must go gluten-free. I'm also vegan and have a couple of other food allergies but still I can find good options here. More of this, please!

Food is absolutely amazing, the staff is very nice, and the amount of inclusive options are so good, you can’t even tell there isn’t gluten in it. 10/10, definitely would try

This is my go to and favorite breakfast spot! Best place ever, even my family who isn't gluten free loves the food here. On the weekends there's usually a bit of a wait time and can get pretty loud inside, but it's totally worth it. Everything on the menu is good here. I haven't had anything I didn't like. They also have vegan options available as well as the resturant being a dedicated gluten free facility.

I am writing this review hoping the owner of Jewel’s Cafe sees it and reads it understanding that it came from a regular customer who legitimately wants to see the Cafe improve.We have frequented Jewel’s Cafe since we moved to Arizona last August. We are vegan and appreciate the offerings and variety on the menu. We usually received kind and honest service until a manager with black hair who says her name is “Rae” began taking orders at the cash register.As regulars, we order the fried mushrooms and are even willing to pay extra for full large boxes. Before Rae assumed a more involved role, we would order the vegan fried mushrooms and receive two full entree-sized boxes- no questions asked. Once Rae began to assert herself as a manager- she would decide to combine our two orders into one side box. When we asked about the difference in volume- seeing no change in price- she refused to give us any explanation for her decision. Instead she gave us a blanket statement,“This is what we normally do.”What bothers me most is that when we call over the phone to place orders, while speaking to Rae, we’re treated differently than in person. I asked specifically for full entree boxes of mushrooms over the phone with her. After a brief hold, she said it would be no problem and the total cost would be $22.95. Upon arrival, she denied speaking with me and said she would have to charge over $30. I would hate to believe that Rae treats customers differently based on how they look. I do not look how I sound over the phone. And it’s a shame that in 2024 we still have people who are rude, insensitive and don’t honor their promises working in hospitality.Further, I asked while on the phone if I could have the Vegan Chicken and Waffles and was told by Rae that they are not on the menu. I have enclosed a photo of the menu with this listed for your review. I believe it’s important for “managers”, employees and the kitchen to be aware of what’s offered.Jewel’s Cafe really is a wonderful place, but it’s the service that used to set it apart. There are so many other delicious places to dine in the Valley and the food isn’t great enough at Jewel’s to be treated this way. While we won’t be back, it is our sincerest hope that managers and employees understand their menu, portions and how to treat guests.

Jewel's was amazing! I only went because one of my girlfriend's has celiac's and eats. GF diet. We all enjoyed everything! The fish & chips were amazing and so were the fried mushrooms! We'll definitely be back!

My wife and I go here quite often. Great selection for non gluten and vegans. Cant give a 5 star rating just because its always busy and could be a while before you get a table, but its the establishments fault for being so good :)P.S go get the fried pickles

I came for a cake pickup and there was a mix up on the order. The bride to be was in tears knowing that she wouldn't have a cake in time for her wedding shower. Rhianna was outstanding in not only getting the cake made for the next day, but with the bride to be original design. She saved the day and the cake was delicious ? Thank you so much.! I came back the next day for lunch and it was wonderful. I can't saw enough about the basil garlic fries. Very busy so a little loud. Nothing but wonderful things to say. All that and gluten free. ?Dietary restrictions: All gluten free.

What a spectacular find. The food is delicious and flavorful. My partner is celiac so it was great to find this gem. You wouldn't even know the fried options are gluten free. The service was stellar. Highly recommend.

First let’s talk. There was a curse word on the wall? What? This man who worked there had a GOAT hat that’s not a good thing. They charged me for someone else’s bill. Then he went and charged me 3.00 for waffles and didn’t tell me, the plastic plates and coffee oh my. They should have given us food for free. No taste. Not hot. No no no
