LePeep was my favorite place for breakfast before I discovered the benefits of a gluten-free diet. And, I am pleased to say that Le Peep is still my favorite place to go for breakfast.

At LePeep, each omelet is made in its own pan. I am an egg lover, and most often I order the Spanish omelet and switch off occasionally with a cheese omelet. I order my omelet with fresh fruit instead of the potatoes. Of course, I also request that no toast or tortillas are placed on my plate.

My guess is that every omelet on the menu can be made in gluten-free form by omitting things such as Hollandaise sauce. The servers are excellent and most willing to have your meal made exactly as you want it. But, you do need to tell your server that you need the meal to be gluten-free and what has to be done to avoid cross contaminating your order.

LePeep is open for breakfast and lunch and is located just south of Coronado Mall. It’s a great place to meet a couple friends or hold a meeting for a large group.

November 2010: As of this month, LePeep is serving the gluten-free Belgian Waffle pictured here. I have been to LePeep once each week since I learned about the waffles and I’ve ordered several variations including pecan and blueberry. Each waffle has been absolutely delicious, and I plan on stopping at LePeep for a waffle every time I’m in the area. The waffles are made from a pre-packaged mix and are cooked on a waffle iron reserved just for gluten-free waffles. Everyone on the staff is now well educated about the cross contamination requirements for their gluten-free customers. What a fantastic addition to an already great menu!
