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.

Needed a wedding cake for a small group that was vegan & gluten free. It being nut free was an added bonus as we did have a friend with said allergy that I was just going to buy regular cupcakes for. We got the small brownie cake with coffee frosting. It’s a very rich cake and we had plenty of leftovers. It was so cute and the perfect size for our small group.

Best gastropub/high-end comfort food/small plates for celiac folks! The churros and mac & cheese are a MUST HAVE!

Ryan Cassata

Shrimp tacos are so good

Jan Squire

Outstanding GF menu!

Sam Richardson

Great experience. Best tomato soup I’ve ever had. Turkey burger is delicious, and I’m not normally a turkey burger fan. Pearson provided great service. Many healthy options on the menu - gluten free, vegan/vegetarian. Pizzas are tasty and salads are creative. Recommend.

Gluten free buns

What a hidden gem. Tucked inside a pharmacy, it’s easy to miss but absolutely worth the hunt. Everything is completely vegan and gluten free, and you would never even guess. I can't begin to describe how delicious everything is here. The hibiscus donut, the churro donut, the brownie, the cream filled donut hut—every single item is incredible. This is a woman owned small business and truly something special. The prices are more than fair. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You’ll want to keep going back.

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

Hanna Hondzo

My favorite place for safe gf ice cream! I always get their gf v cone too. Their cookies are also amazing, they do have dairy in them though.

Amy Tung

Good service and delicious Japanese food

Beth Naeim

Amazing all gluten free ramen and sushi! Felt like being in Japan again. Food and service were both great. Thanks Jason!

Rose Morse

Got the grand slam. Never would have guessed the pancakes were both vegan and gluten free. Everything was delicious. The sausage and eggs are definitely vegan, but taste great. Service was excellent, excited to try other things.

Oh wait….gotta go…my gluten free peach cobbler is coming!! Trust me….eat here!!!

Among the best of the current crop of taco distilleries in Los Angeles. The friendly Staff have figured out the queueing system and the result is lower waiting times. The tacos are fantastic. Tacos are all corn so ideal for gluten free types. Don’t forget the hibiscus onions and a cucumber cooler. Dine in options are limited to a few outdoor tables. Prices are reasonable although not displayed on menu.

Such a wide range of flavors from vegan options, to so many different versions of chocolate and classics this is a for sure recommend! They have a virgin mojito and passion fruit flavour that are both vegan and so delicious on a hot day. I love that this place is also all gluten free so no need to worry about cross contamination.

Annelise Holyoak

Incredible- I can’t love this place more. The first chicken and biscuits are a must. All celiac safe

Gary Standke

Went here on a Thursday for lunch after hiking in Griffith Park. Lots of free parking and no wait to order. Pizza done in just over 10 minutes. Many free tables to sit at. Gluten free Hawaiian was fantastic. Gluten free crust only comes in medium. Soda with endless refills.

Meghan C

As someone with celiac, this is an absolute gem. Not only can I have everything on the menu, but it’s delicious and my non-celiac friends/family love it too!

Julieta Mariotti

Very good place for breakfast. Varied food and many Gluten Free options, which is difficult to find

Natalie Hampton

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!

Jessica Vaughn

Celiac accommodating

Amy “FabulousFoodie”

Gluten-free HEAVEN! I recently became gluten-free due to an auto immune condition and was so sad to have to give up my beloved bread and pastry products. That was until I heard about rising heart bakery! Their take and bake cinnamon rolls, millet bread and bagels are off the chart good! Yes, you will spend a little bit more but it’s absolutely worth it to keep these delicious foodie staples in your life! Even if I wasn’t gluten-free I would still absolutely keep these in my pantry!

We had a very nice server and there’s a great ambiance at Scopa, perfect for dates and connecting with friends alike. They have a gorgeous bar, large window, candles on the tables, and all of our food came perfectly coursed. We were easily able to make a same-day reservation via the Resy app, and I do recommend making a reservation in advance because it was popping when we arrived. For parking, you can either park in the connected valet lot ($13 on a Monday) or look for free street parking (we found it pretty easily, but then again it was a Monday). There are the top four absolute must-order items you should order to share: 1. Hot Antipasti - Scallops Oreganata ($23) with brown butter, bread crumbs, & lemon. I’m gluten free so I asked for no breadcrumbs, and I also recommend ordering a side of gluten free bread to dip in the brown butter after you finish enjoying the scallops because they have the absolute best gluten free cheesecheese bread! They only came with 2 scallops in an order so consider ordering enough so each person can have at least 1 full scallop. 2. Hot Antipasti - Mortadella Meatballs ($21) with pistachio pesto, arugula, & parmesan cheese. This came with 3 medium-large sized meatballs covered in a delicious green pesto - don’t let looks deceive you, even if this isn’t how you expect meatballs to look they’re delish. 3. Cold Antipasti - Heirloom Tomatoes ($18) with sweet onion, basil, ricotta salata cheese, sherry vinegar, & olive oil. If you enjoy tomatoes of all shapes and sizes, this is the dish for you. My favorite were the little orange tomatoes. 4. Salad - Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad ($22) with generous pecorino romano cheese, parsley, grapes, olive oil, sherry vinegar, & toasted almonds. This was a good portion size and the best raw Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. While I did really enjoy the flavor of oysters themselves and their sauces, and I do want to put them as item 5 to order, each of the oysters had some shell bits had to spit out, and it only came with 1 spoon and 0 mini forks. The oysters come with lemon slices, cocktail sauce, shredded horseradish, mignonette, and are $4.50 each with a minimum of 6. I would order them again, but enjoy them carefully and hope that they’re shucked better next time. However… Maybe things were off because it was a Monday and they had multiple large last minute parties walk in. Maybe I should have gone for the pastas instead of the below because it is an Italian restaurant. Maybe I’m just a person who enjoys more seasoning on seafood or less sauce on pork chops, but a few of the dishes weren’t exactly as good as I was expecting. Unless you love canned tuna, absolutely avoid the Sicilian Tuna Cold Antipasti ($19) with market green beans, fingerling potato, capers, lemon, & olive oil. It wasn’t until we mentioned to our server our strong disappointment with the dish, as we were expecting either Tuna Crudo or Seared Tuna, that our server told us that he usually steers guests away from it. It also had zero seasoning, and boy did it need it. It also feels like this dish should have automatically been served with crackers. The Amberjack Crudo ($25) with watermelon radish, bulls blood micro greens, & herb oil needed a combo-sauce or a stronger flavored oil, as it was very bland as-is. Luckily not a fishy-fish, but still lackluster for their only fish crudo on the menu. For the Mains, they were already sold out of the 24oz T-bone Steak ($82) when we arrived, and the server recommended the Pork Chop. The generous portion of Pork Chop ($66) came with crispy fingerling potatoes, roasted shallots, olives, capers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, & fresh herbs. The balsamic was more of a thick, sweet, heavy glaze, and it overpowered the meat. Personally, we both felt it was over-sauced.

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.

Being allergic of Gluten isn’t so bad anymore now that I’ve found this place. As a former Fried Chicken connoisseur, the rice flour chicken is delicious and even crispier than regular fried chicken. It’s great Fried Chicken in general, you’d never know. Super flavorful. I like the regular plain flavor or honey garlic. It’s all amazing!

Mike Freeman

Best gluten free tenders one could ask for

Natalie Roberts

Very friendly staff and most importantly, the donuts are sooooooo good! More of a cakey texture. Very delicate crumb, very tender donut. All of the flavors are amazing, quite balanced, and not overly sweet. Also, best iced matcha I've had in.... quite a long time tbh! 10/10 recommend. There's some parking behind the building or you can park across the street at Westfield (so, plenty of parking). Love this place. Bonus: the donuts are gluten free.

Juan Alvarado

I did not have any expectations coming into this restaurant, but little did I know that I was going to have a spectacular brunch at this fine place! Not only was the service amazing because of our server who was attentive and bubbly, but the food which was fantastic. I tried the hazelnut latte and Minted matcha iced latte which were both very delicious. The matcha had a subtle sweetness, tartness and was just so smooth and rich. Aside from the drinks, the appetizers were jaw dropping. The grilled cheese dippers was inexplicably delectable, there was so much flavor and the garlic aioli added such a beautiful essence to the dish. Grilled cheese done the right way! The pumpkin chai hotcakes were vegan and gluten free, tasted sweet and felt like autumn with each bite. It was a very enjoyable item and I highly recommend it if you enjoy a sweet treat. Lastly was the rustic wagyu steak sandwich. I was a bit weary about it since i'm not a big blue cheese person, but I was truly astonished by how much the flavors were enhanced by the sour taste of the cheese! It really turned out to be such a flavorful experience. I had such a great experience here and I would definitely suggest trying this place if you haven't already!

Ron Ronald

A wonderful place for some of the best-tasting food. My soup was homemade-like, the tuna salad sandwich was tasty and heated. The avocado toast was the best I've ever had. And the chocolate cake—just order a slice. Yes, it's all gluten-free, but don't pass it up if you're not on a GF diet, as it's a healthy alternative to most places.

Andrew Robb

Delicious food, lovely service and advice, I’m coeliac, met sone nice people, it is a canteen experience, would go again

Nicole R

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

Christine Hersh

Cute little place with an extensive gluten-free menu and knowledgeable staff. I appreciate it all the options that I had and that the waiter could answer any questions. Believe me it can be harder than it sounds to have both so I really appreciated the experience. Nate recommended the salmon curry, and it was fantastic.

Ann Hu

Love this place! Fast clean healthy delicious and friendly!! Not to mention 100% gluten free! What more could you ask for?!

Julieta Rodriguez Groves

The best? They have a gluten-free menu. But I don't know how to find it in the main menu, you have to scan a QR or ask the waiter.

Andy Lee

the workers are fine and the food is what it is. the 10% “concession recovery fee” is bull shit. also no listed added price for gluten free. all in all + ~ $5 than the listed price. ~$19 for a jersey mike’s sub with no chips or drink is crazy work

Trey Patterson

Server natalie j was a gem! She was very careful with my Celiac disease. The food was great, the short rib was a little over done, however, the beverages were superb, and I had a great time overall!

Marlena Węgrzanowska

I absolutely recommend this place for the best gluten free fried chicken in LA! it’s so crispy and tasty we are 100% coming back here to try more items on the menu and to get the family bucket. The lady who served us was also so nice and kind. Everything we ordered was so tasty, even the pickle and the green sauce - outstanding. Can’t wait to come back for more. Also it’s important to note that they validate parking 🙌🏼

Fresh Brothers is my Go To for Delivery Pizza and a quick walk in at lunch time. They are always on point with the quality and timeliness. I have ordered for a dinner night with the family and for catering a small party. The food shows up hot and fresh and the service is always friendly and professional. I love that they even have gluten free and vegan options for those of us with food preferences when most pizza places do not. They have that small shop pizza feel in my neighborhood but with a quality I can count on to be what I want at every store. I Love Pizza and I Love fresh brothers!!!!!
