Top 16 Gluten-Free Bread Spots to Delight in Irvine

Great experience all around! Husband has celiac disease so having a dedicated gluten free facility is A DREAM! Biscuits were the highlight. Also had the cinnamon roll and breakfast crepe which were also great! Beautiful and serene atmosphere on the patio. Will be back.

Today was my first time eating at Urban Plates and it certainly won’t be my last! I ordered the chili glazed grilled tofu with a side of roasted brussels sprouts and sesame broccolini - all of these items were 10/10! Very tasty a good healthy meal! As a vegan, I appreciate the many options that cater to different preferences and allergies. There were many options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free diets with everything marked on the menu which is always a plus! Also, a special shout out to Fatima who was very helpful and gave me excellent customer service. Thank you Urban Plates!

Customer service is amazing. They go above and beyond. They are knowledgeable on celiac disease and care for customers.

First time here. Food and service was great. One gluten free patron in our party (celiac) and staff was very understanding. Carlos made the experience wonderful with checking in frequently!

To Whom It May Concern, I'm writing to express deep frustration and disappointment following a visit to your Irvine BJ's Restaurant on May 22nd, 2025, for my wife Roz’s birthday celebration. We had a party of 13 and called ahead, only to be told the wait would be 30–45 minutes. Instead, we waited over 2 hours while being repeatedly given conflicting and inaccurate wait times (20 mins, then 5 mins, then 15 mins, etc.). It was only after escalating the issue to a manager that we were finally seated — a full 45 minutes after being told our table was "being cleaned." The service did not improve once seated. Staff were rude and dismissive — not just to my wife, but to multiple members of our party who politely asked for status updates. At one point, BJ's attempted to offer "lobby pizza" to the waiting group, which would have been appreciated if they had respected dietary restrictions. My wife has celiac disease, and we explained she could not eat gluten. Despite this, we were told there would be no accommodations — even if we were willing to pay. To make matters worse, Roz also suffers from hypoglycemia, and being forced to wait that long without food triggered a medical episode. This was not just inconvenient — it was dangerous and negligent. When we were finally seated, the experience did not improve: only one overwhelmed waitress was assigned to our large group, service remained slow and unfriendly, and to add insult to injury, an 18% gratuity was automatically added — despite the substandard and outright harmful service. Our total came to nearly $800, and every single member of the group was charged that gratuity — regardless of their experience. This was meant to be a celebratory evening for my wife’s birthday. Instead, it was a source of anxiety, frustration, and actual physical harm. We expect a full apology and request appropriate compensation for the unacceptable experience we were put through. Sincerely, Mario A.

They are the worst customer service and knowledge bout gluten free allergies and definitely have No business getting advertise as such. I called and once I arrived I asked again. I ordered and paid and then she told me she was out of gluten free buns so I am getting toast gluten free burger ITS DISGISTING. Not what I asked for, I DO NOT WANT FING TOAST FOR A BURGER. I could have gotten somewhere else. I’m traveling and Not alone. I truly hate this people. LIARS. SO GROSS!! I was asked how my food was and I told this lady gross and unsatisfactory She acted like I didn’t say ANYTHING so I repeated to her and again just ignored. DO NOT ASK HOW MY FOOD WAS IF YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR THE CUSTOMER S ANSWER. 🤮

So good I re-ordered my lunch for dinner (Yogi sandwich on gluten free flat bread). Small menu but one that's been perfected. 👌
