Top 16 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Relax in La Quinta

My next door neighbor, who is a full time caregiver, had a birthday in April but I am just now waking up from my sugar haze after having some of the world's best chocolate cupcakes to write a note on behalf of Tiffany's. My husband receives his after-stroke physical therapy at the Eisenhower clinic in the same shopping center and so we drive in from the Washington Street side and pass Tiffany's twice a week. No one knows how we could have missed our first visit for so long!! *****Big word of advice: Parking is easier if you go across the lot and walk up because there is constant traffic passing behind you if you pull in out front. Lots of cars can be difficult to see as there are many other businesses and I had to move stealthily and try to see around delivery trucks blocking my view. There are spaces across the lot, always. People who know me are aware 1) I don't wait in long lines for food and 2) Parking must be survivable. For my friend's birthday I wanted to surprise her with some great items she would not have time to buy for herself. I was thrilled to step into one of the sweetest, cleanest and most attractive bake shops ever. The young man at the counter was so great and helped with my questions. Did I only buy a cupcake for my friend, you ask? No, I made sure to buy extra items to bring home and do "quality control" if you know what I mean. Haven't you ever bought a big bag of treats before, taking only a portion out for the recipient? Have you not placed the most beautiful cupcakes into the fridge and looked forward to having fun later on? But not too long in the future? You have to visit and check out this assortment. Cupcakes are frosted while you're there. Only fresh ingredients we all want to see are used for these sweets, too. There were choices galore- And Happy Birthday cookies!! Of course I got one! I gave it with the cupcake. (I'm not a monster.) This beautiful hidden gem creates gluten-free, keto, and vegan sweets. You will swoon at the flavors on the labels here. I have no idea how I left the shop without two big bags but I carefully got my one big bag home instead of dipping my hand in while driving. I cannot drive by now without whispering "Best cupcake ever" and bowing my head, smiling.

We had such a wonderful experience with me and my partner. We had about six different drinks. The bartender, Jacob, was exceptional! Wonderful service and exceptional food. Definitely a atmosphere that makes you want to hang out and explore different items on the menu. They have a lot of vegetarian, and gluten-free options.

My husband and I were so looking forward to sharing a foot long today! Italian, Jersey Mikes style. We asked for gluten free bread which was a huge mistake. However, the contents of the sub were pathetic. The bread also pathetic. We’ll be looking for a new sub place after today and we were long time fans. Seemed like the employees today were not really into it… I’m sure to let our friends know as well. There’s a great sub shop in Palm Desert. I’ll drive there next time even though it’s further.

We eat a lot of Sushi and this place is at the top of our list. The presentation, quality and service makes this sushi restaurant stand out above the rest. We are gluten free and garlic free. The cooks were extremely accommodating. They knew we liked spicy food and coupled our rolls with Serrano peppers. The Nigoiri sake we bought was one of the best unfiltered sake’s we had. Our only complaint was we didn’t insist on sitting on the patio. If you are comparing sushi places in Palm Desert, this is the one to choose.

So happy I found this place. The fries do not share a fryer! I had the curried cauliflower appetizer and it was delicious. Also had a side of fries and the pork chop (GF/DF).

Good food. Had a vegetarian sandwich, which they happily modified with GF bread, and added grilled chicken. The fries had gluten so I subbed a salad.

Visiting Palm Desert and surrounding valley, we had an amazing time at Lavender. We sat on the patio and had live music. The music selection was a perfect selection for Gen X and older. The music was not too loud. We are gluten fee and garlic free. The kitchen was very accommodating. We were able to have a 3 course meal, over 2.5 hours. One of our favorite Palm Desert places.
