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

Lots of gf options with very helpful and knowledgeable servers.

Camino Alto is a special place. Every ingredient is vibrant. You can taste the care and creativity in every dish. They have really fun wines and the staff are very knowledgeable and warm. The baked goods for breakfast are delicious and every dish for dinner is a great choice. Ideal for vegetarians and gluten-free diners as well as omnivores.

Dominique Martin

I cannot praise them enough!! It is such a relief to know that everything is gluten free but also soooooo delicious!! I love the music and ambiance as well. It is always an amazing meal, even before my gluten issues I would have come here all of the time if I knew. Also... The donut holes will change your life, and the coffee is out of this world! Just try it already lol

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).

Lulu

A great gluten-free bakery with good sandwiches. I love Pushkins and this one does not disappoint. They don't have as much food as the other ones or paninis like babes but they still have a pretty good selection of baked goods. It is a very small cute store but there is no seating inside which is not the best in the Sacramento Heat. But I come here often to get baked goods for the house.

John Keszler

Amazing burger, very allergy friendly, gluten free options were incredible. Services was also incredible.

I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.

A fully gluten free kitchen with a variety of options for dairy, vegan and Paleo diets. The line is long and moves very slowly (especially on weekends).

Rinke van der Gaag

My friend, who is severely celiac, got very sick here. They say all the food is gluten free, but that’s obviously not true. We looked up everything about this restaurant after she got sick and saw the review of some other person on this site who also got sick. They sell a lot of oats, so that’s probably why she got sick. Cross contamination. Watch out!!! For the not celiac’s, the food is good it just isn’t totally gluten free.

Natasha “Nikki” Ferrer-Perez

I had the California Sandwich on Focaccia and it was so yummy! I was meeting some friends to yap, so I didn’t want to be stuffing my face the whole time and stopped ordering after the sandwich, but I WANTED TO DO NOTHING BUT STUFF THEIR WHOLE PASTRY CASE into my mouth! I’ll definitely have to come back another time on my own just absolute pig out on everything!

Kristen Lackman

The bacon chipotle sandwich is the best. So are the cinnamon rolls. At confections by kirari in the plaza right next door they have amazing pizza and their birthday cake cookies are my absolute favorite!

zack ashcraft

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.

Lila Abrams

horrible service. i ordered a blueberry muffin and the person next to me ordered one a minute after. they had me pay for it and then told me they were all out and gave it to the person. this was after waiting in line for 20 minutes. the staff has absolutely no manners. if your looking for good gluten free food with good service save yourself some time and choose a different bakery. they also do a horrible job at making accommodations. i ordered myself an omelet and told them i could not eat mushrooms and they gave me an omelet with mushrooms. then got annoyed and took another 20 minutes to make me a new one. and it was undercooked and smaller than the actual serving size.

Nicole

Amazing food, and the Oaxacan old fashioned is awesome! Also if you are celiac the whole restaurant is gluten free so you can eat everything and not worry!

Melanie Brown

Absolutely delicious! Celiac safe kitchen

A. Johnsen

Their happy hour deal is great. The nacho fries were delicious. Everything was so good we came back for brunch the next day and got the gluten free waffles (they were a bit too sweet, but good nonetheless, wish there was almond butter on it to balance out the strawberry jam? syrup?). Always great to have a gluten free and dairy free place.

Maureen Curiel

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.

Guy Smith

Absolutely incredible. Not dense like any other GF donut, INCREDIBLE prices. I got 3 donuts and a churro and everything was 10/10. So fluffy and yummy. As someone with Celiac and a true wheat allergy, this made me feel normal for a second! LOVED it. So did my 3 year old, and he is super picky

Nicole Jackson

I would drive many hours to go here again. Went 4 times in 4 days. So happy I got to finally experience good pastries since being celiac. These weren’t amazing for gluten free, they were amazing period. Obsessed.

Walking from a nearby restaurant and decided to stop in about 30 minutes before they closed on a weekday. Realized it was a gluten free donut shop, though I don’t have dietary restrictions I decided to order one blueberry donut. It was a good cake style donut! Not grainy at all like some gluten free things I have tasted tend to be.The young man at the register was extremely friendly and welcoming too. Cute shop!

Ashley Clark

If you love fries half as much as I do, this is definitely a place to come! Their loaded/drunk fries with carne asada??? Oh my goodness. The guacamole had just the right amount of spice, the Pico wasn’t too citrusy, the fries are FRESH CUT potatoes, the meat seasoned to perfection. The melted cheese? The aioli on top?…. Like woah, I’m blown away. 10/10 would highly recommend. Also, the street corn was good! Was piping hot! *the drunken fries are gluten free for those that are wondering*

T Lewis

House bread with garlic butter, hot shrooms (star of the show), and Caesar salad were excellent. I think I would return just for those three things. Joey was an excellent server. I knocked off a couple stars because although our appetizers came out quickly, we waited an extremely long time for our entrées and the pesto fusilli came out room temperature, nearly cold. They accidentally served us a gluten-free widow pizza, and shortly after brought us one with the regular crust. The smoked date purée on the widow sounded intriguing, and although it was tasty, there was way too much slathered onto the pizza. I would not go so heavy handed with that covering the pizza. So overall, the entrees were meh, but the appetizers excellent!

Kyle Scherrer

Great gluten free dairy free options! I’ve ordered in and done delivery via their website (which is cheaper than delivery apps by the way) - super high quality food, could not recommend enough :) a new local favorite

Danni Mestaz

Such a friendly experience and oh those cookies and doughnuts were a gluten-free persons dream!

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.

Erik de Jong

My celiac family loves it here. I don't have to eat gluten free but the food here is much better than almost any other gluten free food. Sandwiches, baked goods, fried chicken, and more. Plenty of vegan options as well.

Sai Janaswamy

Small coffee shop. Sells vegan and Gluten free coffee and treats! Right across the Safeway here. Everything is delicious. I would highly reccomend the Dever cupcake for any sweet tooths out there. And if u love your vailla, you will love it more. The cake is very moist and delicious. Its not at all overpowering with vanilla cake and frosting. 😋🫰🫰

Hands down, the best gluten-free croissant I’ve ever had in my life—and I’ve tried more than I can count! I drove 20 minutes out of my way just to get here, and it was worth every drop of gas and every extra minute on the road. The croissant was flaky, buttery, perfectly golden, and honestly so good I was speechless. I called ahead to ask if they had any left, and they were kind enough to save me the last one of the day. That extra level of service paired with such incredible quality? Chef’s kiss. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m grabbing a few more!

Sarah Wallace

Visiting Monterey for the weekend and was looking for a gluten-free cafe to grab some lunch. Ended up at Nece's GF and YUM! The ancient grain bread I chose for my sandwich was superb, the snickerdoodle cookie was just the right amount of sweet, and my dog got all the love while we were sitting outside on the patio. Definitely will return next time I'm in town. :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Donuttery: The Holy Grail of Glazed Glory I don’t know what kind of wizardry is going on in the back of The Donuttery, but these donuts are not from this planet. I came in expecting “just a donut” and left questioning every donut I’ve ever eaten before this. These are the BEST donuts I’ve ever had—period. The selection? Absolutely ridiculous. There were more donuts than I have excuses for being late to work. Vegan, gluten-free, sprinkles, filled, frosted, twisted into beautiful little carbohydrate sculptures—I got decision paralysis at the counter and had to call in backup (aka my 2-year-old, who wisely chose pink with sprinkles). Every bite was like a warm hug from a sugary cloud. The glazed mochi donut was so good I considered writing it into my will. And don’t even get me started on the crème brûlée—I didn’t choose it; it chose me. Staff was friendly, vibe was chill, and I left with a sugar high and no regrets (except not buying a second box). Final verdict: If you don’t go to The Donuttery when you’re in Huntington Beach, you’re doing life wrong. 🍩🔥

Amazing! Great quality gluten free vegan desserts!

Mmmm! 💗 The Dough Room! My pizza was so tasty 🍕 I’ve been to a few pizza places with gluten free and this spot had a delicious gluten free crust! 🤤 I topped my pizza with alot of tasty toppings like, Olive oil Crème fraiche Onion Broccolini Garlic Mushrooms Black olives Arugula Herbs Basil SOOO GOOD I ate it for dinner & breakfast 😄😄

Kassi W

Wow!! I am very impressed. The GF donuts were delicious! Best I have ever had.

Christine Benedetti-Middleton

Best gluten free, dairy free desserts ever. Lots of options here and everything we tried was delicious!!

Tori Morrison

Loved this spot! Highlights: ambiance is a yes, pizza is a full fak YES. Their pizzas are a tribute to their own favorite pizzas from all over. Isn’t that the cutest and most inventive thing ever? Order: focaccia and burrata (just do it), enough pizzas to share, and some good drinks. We loved the tribute to the old Costco pizza and the meat lovers. Deep dish pizzas also looked to die for! Also, I’m gluten-free and LOVED their gluten-free pizza (usually I’m left feeling very disappointed but not here)! Great for: date night, friend hangs, family dinners, and casual solo pizza nights out with your dog (they have two patios for dogs to sit). Kids are welcome too! Make sure you make a reservation and try and carpool as parking around here is tough on a busy Friday/Saturday night.

Gary Reinecke

This is the best Indian I have had in SF so far. They also have excellent gluten free naan and an extensive gluten free menu!

Malin Schn

Absolutely delicious gluten-free arepas! Felt completely safe even with celiac disease.

Erica (EVLove11)

These pupusas are too good! Literally had to come back the next day to get more after my first time trying them. I particularly love the large number of vegetarian options that they provide! Great gluten free place for those in your life as well! Tip on the tamales: the corn is fine, but the chicken is AMAZING. Just be careful of serving sizes because they do not shy away from large portions!

Gabriela Torres

Very cute neighborhood cafe. I am gluten and dairy and they had gluten free toast. The food was great

Patricia F

Such a tasty cozy brunch spot. We got a spot outside as this place tends to have a long wait time. They provided us blankets as it was chilly day. Make sure to get their biscuit - the gluten was well worth it as I'm a lil intolerant.

Rose Scholefield

When I first arrived I asked about the gluten-free burritos and the first thing he said was that they were not a gluten-free restaurant but that they try their best to limit cross-contamination...so I ordered an El Pastor burrito and my husband ordered a steak burrito. I added some of the sauces from the sauce bar like pico de gallo, a spicy sauce, and the avocado sauce. Both of the burritos were delicious, however, 8 hours later both my husband and I were sick. I had severe cramps and diarrhea and my husband had diarrhea as well. This was not our typical reactions to gluten so I believe it was more likely food poisoning. I talked to Alex today about this and he was very apologetic and helpful. he said he could give us a refund but I mentioned to him that what's more important is to figure out why this happened, to make sure no one else gets sick. He told me that no one else got sick the rest of the day, but I reminded him that most people won't call or make the connection. He said that he would talk to the owner about it and make sure everything was kept at the proper temperature. I didn't see if they were using gloves when they filled and folded the burritos, but from now on, I will request that just in case it was a matter of unwashed employee hands... hopefully not. The place seemed clean otherwise, so it shouldn't be that! The music was too loud for us also... that's why I didn't give a 5 star atmosphere rating.

Eating and drinking outside is an option and is pleasant. If ordering to go beers or ciders can be ordered as well. Gluten free is offered and is tasty

Nicki Ohrstrom

The best gluten free choices! The server was so fun & personable!

Madeline P

I was so excited to come here and try this fully gluten free restaurant but me and my boyfriend ended up very disappointed with our experience. When we entered the restaurant we were sat at a table about 1 foot away from another couple in the middle of the room. This felt very strange since there were other tables open but they chose to sit us directly next to another couple, so close that it felt like we were in their conversation. The next issue was the food timing. We waited about 50 minutes for our food to come. The entire dining experience is supposed to be 1 hour and 30 minutes but 50 of that was taken up by waiting. This was extremely frustrating too because we could see couples who got to the restaurant after us getting the same things that we ordered first. Once the food got to our table it was very disappointing. The pasta was overcooked and had a hole going through the middle which made it feel like I was eating a long macaroni noodle with my sausage pasta. We also ordered a ravioli and short rib. The ravioli was so heavy and the sauce on it was so thick we barely could eat it. The short rib was extremely overcooked and dry and not what you would expect for 50 dollars. Another note to add is that this restaurant does not have a bathroom. When you pay for such an expensive meal you hope that the restaurant you go to at least has a bathroom for their customers. But no, customers are expected to walk down to the Main Street and use a communal bathroom with a code. This is not what you would expect for a fine dining restaurant. Overall, I do not recommend coming here. As a celiac, I have had far better pasta from the box. After spending 200 dollars here we feel very disappointed and almost scammed out of our money. Super disappointed with this place and if you are a celiac and seeing this excited that there is a fully gf restaurant near you, please spend your money elsewhere. It is not worth the money or the time.

My sister and I will stop by here just to grab their Buffalo Cauliflower Bites *Drooling* and we absolutely refuse to share we have to get our own order. The vibe is anywhere from casual and relaxing on the patio to romantic and fine dining inside. The menu is constantly evolving with the seasons. I have tried many of their burgers as a lettuce wrap and with the gluten free bun, pumpkin doughnut holes, asparagus risotto, and peach pie! Revolution never disappoints. They share a parking lot with Temple Coffee & a :10 second walk to the Coop or Pushkin Bakery!

Erica

This place is so great, they have gluten free AND vegan donuts (vegan ones I haven’t tried but GF ones are really good) which is really cool and there is a strictly gluten free restaurant a few doors down so if you have that allergy these are great places to check out! I am not sure how the preparation is at the Goods for cross contamination but when I’ve seen them baking them they keep them separate from the other donuts. Some of my favorite donuts ever I have gotten here… a strawberry shortcake one and churro ones, omg so good! Wish I had pictures of those fancy ones but I got the vanilla sprinkles one and it was amazing, the dough is a little dense compared to a normal donut… which is to be expected for gluten free but still delicious! They also have coffee drinks which are great too! Chai tea latte is my favorite

Tori Liezen

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.

Jamie Tucker

Best Gluten Free restaurant in San Francisco!! Can you tell we enjoyed the Margaritas 🍹. 100% recommend, staff were very friendly and the place looks amazing.
