Best gluten-free bakery! I came across the country for this! I've tried so much there and everything has been a hit!

Tiffany Alco

The food here is delicious and the whole place is super cute. Highly recommend the lemon blueberry pancakes 🥞. Also, everything at this location is gluten free and is vegan (unless you get eggs).

My sisters who are gluten free had their jaws to the floor with how many wonderful options they had here. Literally there jaws were to the floor. It was hard to have them eat after because they both had them stuck down there. It was a little embarrassing. The food was great! As someone who can eat gluten, you hardly missed it. Zack signing off.

So lucky to visit this dedicated gf bakery full of delicious options.

John Hoeglund

My absolute favorite brunch spot in SF. Outstanding food entirely gluten free and vegan. Safe for most major allergens.

Bailey Hopper

Absolutely amazing. Their croissant are so buttery and flaky, the bagel was so pleasantly chewy, the CINNAMON BUN! Gooey, soft and perfect. 100/10.

Amazing gluten free bakery!

Wide array of delicious gluten and dairy free options. The bagel sandwich and doughnut options were top notch. There is a nice place to sit in the ally just to the left of the store.

Loraine Tai

The gluten free dairy free version of strawberry works is yummy. It's always deal-sealing when the staff are legitimately well versed regarding allergies/intolerances and understanding to boot! Would be interested in trying more of the favs on the menu next time

Daniel Davies

The best gluten free pastry and bagel I have ever had. The place is entirely gluten free so no anxiety for a coeliac. The pain au chocolat was some kind of witchcraft - actual buttery flakey layers that I thought I would never experience again since having to go GF. Reasonably priced, great service and atmosphere. Highly recommend for any coeliacs.

Em Siegel

Amazing breakfast sandwich, I couldn't believe it was gluten free! As a person with celiac disease, I was stoked to find this place. It's awesome, I highly recommend and look forward to coming back

My wife and I loooove Just What I Kneaded (the pop tarts are insane; the crunch wraps are a MUST!) and Justine's Wine Bar (all around one of our favorite date spots), but I'm writing this review specifically to rave about the amazing and most perfect wedding cake that Kneady Cakes/ Just What I Kneaded created for our wedding day! Our cake was vegan and gluten free - we wanted gluten free since my mother is celiac (she was very grateful for a GF cake and she loved it!). The cake was moist and delicious! We were all very impressed with the gluten free option - There honestly was no difference in the gluten free and the regular cake. And it felt "lighter" to eat! We opted for a lemon cake with lemon custard and raspberry jam on the bottom layer and chocolate with raspberry jam filling on the top layer. It was insanely delicious and beautifully decorated with frosting succulents to match the desert theme of our wedding. The Kneady Cakes team packaged it carefully and it was sturdy + easy to transport in an insulated box all the way to Joshua Tree. We had a wonderful time with our cake tasting, which consisted of trying cake samples via 6 different flavors of cupcakes accompanied with jars of jam and custards. It was difficult to choose, but we're so happy with our decision! The lower layer of our cake was 8" and the top was 6". We were able to cut about 30-40 slices, easy. For a 15 person wedding, it was a perfect amount for everyone to enjoy a few slices + we had extra to freeze for our anniversary. Everyone LOVED the cake (they are still raving about it!) and it was a highlight of the post-ceremony celebration! We are SO happy to have purchased our cake from Kneady Cakes. We can't recommend getting a wedding cake(s) from Kneady Cakes enough! Worth every penny. We'll be back for birthday cakes in the near future. We are lucky to have such a fantastic bakery and such an amazing team of bakers in east LA!

Delicious, gluten free, vegan options and non coffee drinks! Wish they would get a better vegan cream cheese option but the hummus is a great alternative

The Butcher’s Daughter – Stylish, Satisfying, and Full of Flavor The Butcher’s Daughter on Abbot Kinney delivers on every front—delicious food, warm service, and a beautifully curated atmosphere. The space has a cool, airy vibe that feels equal parts trendy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. I ordered the gluten-free vegan waffles with maple syrup and added a side of bacon—the combination was absolutely perfect. The waffles were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor. The bacon added that savory contrast I was desiring. The staff were friendly, attentive, and created a genuinely pleasant dining experience. Whether you’re plant-based, gluten-free, or just looking for a great bite in Venice, The Butcher’s Daughter is a must-visit spot with great vibes and even better food.

Wonderful place on the Coast to eat breakfast, excellent pastries and robust coffee, delicious. Many gluten free options too. Great place to sit inside or outdoors, and enjoy your morning. Don’t miss this, its a gem!

Nicole R

I had no idea gluten-free bagels could be this delicious! Hats off to you, Pop’s!

Liesbet Bickett

LOVED: Fun atmosphere. Great menu. So many fresh, creative choices. The food presentation is spot on. Easy access to water and condiments. Quick beverage service. LIKED: Out table server (she delivered the food. You order at the counter) was friendly and worked to take care of us after the ordering server had messed up our order. She was great! Ordering was taken wrong which resulted in delayed food and overcharge. The food seems real fresh. It was very good - creative - but a bit greasy for me. I should have skipped the cheese on my tofu scramble and skipped the James Dean sausage. I don't like greasy. I think others would have loved it. The tofu with peanut was tasty. MEH: The gluten free French toast was ok but not great. I like eggy French toast. This was airy and fluffy. Others may have loved it. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this place and I would come back again. I would just change my order a little. I do wish they had some egg free breakfast options. I'm thinking this would not be a good place for a vegan.

Best gluten free bagel I’ve had anywhere, ever

This Amy’s is in the San Francisco airport. The menu is limited, but sufficient for the setting. I have been eating Amy’s meals for years. I was so excited to see what they had. I ordered a chicken sandwich, gf cinnamon roll & dairy free chocolate shake. I was so happy with my meal. It would be so nice to have more of these pop up because it gives such a great option for people with dietary restrictions. The meal kept me full all day. The gf cinnamon roll was very dry but still tasty. The shake was the best I have ever had. It is pricey, however, most gluten free/ heavier options are. Comparatively, especially for airport food, I felt it was a good value.

Bailey Hopper

Offers GF but was warned that everything goes through the same toaster. Coffee was good though!

AMNA ALI

Very good coffee and matcha, losts of gluten free pastry options

Callie Lions

I love the gluten-free with tomato and cream. cheese

Andrew Warren

Heard about here from my wife's hair stylist and was quite pleased. The GF bagels are pretty good and the staff said they have a dedicated toaster and knives that they use for the bagels. Also the lead guy (maybe the owner) said that he makes the GF bagels first ever morning to make sure they are made on clean equipment. They seem to usually have a couple different flavor options. But they also said that if you call the day before they take flavor requests. For the online ordering they are very cautious about stock so if it says they have something they should but if it foes haywire they will call. Love that they use Cat & Cloud beans for their coffee. Overall a great place especially if you are gluten free.

I wanted to try this bakery because I was in the area. It is a small bakery just pick up. There is no seating, but the bakery is clean and pleasant. I met the owner who was friendly and helpful. It was so nice to be able to eat a gluten free, low carb dessert. The items we did purchase were fresh, moist and delicious. It was a bit pricey, but when you like baked goods, and can’t have gluten in it and or are diabetic this is a nice solution.

Ralph Avalon

I've been there a few times and it's always been fantastic. The menu options are great and there are gluten-free options as well for a small extra fee. It's pet friendly, kid friendly, human being friendly, and all around a great place to relax and have a coffee or a beer and a nice meal.

Jennifer Bishop

I’m gluten free due to an allergy and Well Grounded is a gem to have found in my local community. They even have a dedicated toaster for their delicious GF bagels and are very careful with cross contamination. 5 stars for sure!!

Russell Edwards

A petaluma gem- fantastic bagels and bagel sandwiches with good gluten free options.

Stephanie M-H

Amazing. I got a rosemary garlic sourdough filone today. Beautiful loaf, crispy crust and light airy center. Might be the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had. I will definitely be ordering again 💘

Bonnie Rosenberg

As someone coming from a household with food allergies, we were disappointed by our experience this morning at Pop's. It was our first time here and we went because we have people coming over later and they make gluten free bagels. My family member has Celiac in addition to several other food allergies. We don't usually buy food out, but we thought we may try getting a GF bagel for them too. When we arrived this morning and asked if they could share the ingredients for the gluten free bagels, not only were the staff unable to locate the ingredients list, but they were poorly trained on knowledge of food allergens in general. Ultimately they were unable to help us and we decided not to get anything for that individual- better to be safe. This may be a fine bagel shop for individuals without food restrictions, but if you are one of many people with allergies, I do not recommend going here. We will not be returning.

DeDrie Hill

Cutest little shop on the block! They even have gluten free options

Amy Yung

Best gf bagel sandwiches!!
