Has Anyone Eaten At Pluto's?

[Anonymousgurl]

In Santana Row in San Jose they have a Pluto's and they look pretty celiac and vegan friendly. It looks like I can make a salad (even though I dont know WHAT the heck I'd put on it for dressing lol) and I heard from a friend that you can get a baked potato there and dress it how you please, but on the menu online it doesn't say that (or at least I don't think it does). So does anyone have any suggestions, or want to share any experiences?

I used to eat at the Plutos in Davis all the time, but have stopped since going gluten free. The way they make their salads there seems ot be a very high risk of Cross contamination. And when I asked about other items, they didn't seem very helpful.

Sad, because I really liked their food.

Are you going to school in Santa Rosa?

I'm actually going to school in Davis

I'm SO SO excited!

Any advice for a gluten free vegan that's a soon-to-be resident of Davis?

Well, congratulations on coming to Davis. I've really enjoyed it here. I actually graduate Saturday, but will be around for a while after that, I live in the area and will be doing some work at the school.

I'm not a vegan, so I'm not an expert on that. There is a gluten-free bakery in Davis, but I'm not sure how much of their stuff would be gluten-free. I'm sure some of it would be, and they seem willing to adapt. A friend of mine has them make gluten-free, dairy-free, nut free cookies, so those are probably Vegan. The farmers market downtown on weds and thurs will have fresh fruit and vegetable.

there is a good indian restaurant right near campus. Upstairs on 3rd street. My friend who is a strict vegetarian (but not Vegan) eats there alot, and I've eaten with her there, and it seems like much of their stuff would be safe.

Thai 2K was awesome with gluten-free, I've eaten there a few times. and it seems like some of their stuff should be Vegan.

No idea about the dorms (I'm a graduate student) or the places on campus (nothing but coffee on campus since going gluten-free).

Good luck. Let me know what you find when you get here. I'll admit I'm not very adventerous, and I hate getting sick, so there's only a few places I go.

Do you have a bike? Davis is super bike friendly, and it's the best way to get around here.

Thanks for all of the info

And congratulations on gradutating!

I'm going bike shopping soon...my grandma is getting me a "beach cruiser" bike (or something like that haha) as a graduation gift. That's one of my favorite things about Davis. I don't like driving much, so I think it's fantastic that everything seems like it's walking distance, or biking distance at least.

I think we're heading up to visit Davis soon, and I think I might try out the Thai restaurant. I'll let you know how it goes! What do you usually order there?
