Top 20 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in North Beach, San Francisco

It was a disappointment because online it states they have gluten free pizza with designated ovens. Not only they did not have it the waitress told us it is not a gluten friendly restaurant and that there is flour flying all over the place. Being celiac I walked out. Not nice at all. Celiac friends go across the street to Acquolina. Great service, atmosphere and gluten free options.

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

Fantastic food and very lively energy! I have celiac disease and I was so excited to find gluten free options here and our server was knowledgeable about allergies. Every dish is made to order so they're able to make customizations based on dietary needs. Cocktails were awesome too. Super excited to have found this spot, looking forward to coming back soon.

The gluten-free pasta with pesto was amazing! The pesto was to die for! I wanted a second order just for the pesto!

Overpriced & under seasoned... the concept of a Dracula themed kind of Restaurant is kind of cool but at the same time this fails so miserably in so many ways. The $50 Count Vladimir Steak is bland and flavorless watery mashed potatoes overcooked steak such a disaster. & disappointment. You would think being that you are in San Francisco you have no gluten-free bread or gluten-free options for people who would actually want to enjoy this food. And I hope you speak Spanish because nobody here speaks English so communication is going to be difficult for most. The concept is incredible unfortunately the food falls very very flat. The flavors I had on my steak were so bland and just weird broken oily sauce made no sense whatsoever and parsley which I absolutely hate spread all over my meat. My son ordered the ravioli which was clearly store-bought Frozen and cooked so not fresh though they advertise it as fresh. Very disappointing for my gluten-free guests because all they can have is a salad. My brother ordered the lasagna which he seemed to enjoy quite a bit. My younger son ordered the cheese pizza which I must say as somebody who makes pizza it was not very good. No flavor at all basic marinara sauce. I wanted the whole experience but the meal was so bad I just had to get me the heck out of here. What really is just awful it took us 6 1/2 hours round trip to drive to San Francisco to honor my brother for a promotion he received at work. So when you finally get out of the city which takes forever and I mean forever. Sadly all you can think about is how horrible the experience was at The stinking Rose.

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

Really good vibe. Porsche went above and beyond to ensure the allergens were avoided. Though they were busy we did not feel they were irritable or rushing us. The food was fine, but it was everything else that makes this place one you want to visit, especially if you have gluten and soy allergies.

Gluten free penne pasta

Had an amazing dinner at Caffé Sport. Our server was very friendly and assured us that the kitchen took gluten free order very seriously. That us separate water for gluten free pasta and clean the prep space for gluten free pizza. Really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend!

Jose tha barman was fantastic and the gluten free pizza was outstanding. Perfect American/ Italian vibe. Bravo!

Jerry Taco

Food was really good. Some tasty options for gluten and dairy allergies. Just need to be a little bit flexible.

Well, well, well. If this isn’t a gluten free/dairy free gal’s PARADISE. It’s so rare to be able to get my hands on a GF AND DF treat that’s actually tasty — let alone an ice cream sandwich, for Pete’s sake! But the Baked Bear has done it, and they’ve done it verrryyyy successfully. Got the brownie chocolate chip GF DF cookie + GF and DF chocolate chip ice cream. All I can say is GO. You won’t regret it.

Great service and gluten free options!

I got the GF version of the Burrata pizza and it was phenomenal. I really appreciate how they make their GF pizzas in a separate area to avoid cross contamination, which definitely will give those with Celiac some ease! As opposed to the regular version, which is a thin crust, this was a thicker crust, but delicious. The Chopped salad was also so yummy, and don’t leave there without trying their soft serve. It’s absolutely magnificent! We shared the vanilla and fior di latte! As much as I loved the pizza, I’d probably make a trip back there just for that soft serve.

I absolutely loved my experience at Yarsa Nepalese Cuisine. The flavors felt authentic and fresh, especially the Kathmandu chicken and lentil soup. They have a great variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options, which made it easy to find something for everyone in our group. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy without being pretentious. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

Was here for a big group dinner. The good: The burrata salad and the ossobuco was all right. The bad: 1. The waiter we had was obnoxious and not good! We have one person with gluten free allergy (celiac!) and when the waiter brought out the entree, he did not remember which one was gluten free. Not only did the waiter not remember who ordered what, but he also did not remember which was the gluten free dish out of the 5 pasta dish! 2. The waiter also pushed us to drink the wine and sparkling water instead of bringing us water! There were not enough cups at the table and it took forever to get tap water. Our water was also never filled and instead the waiter kept bringing more sparkling water. I suspect this is because this is a work dinner so he knew that we would just pay whatever the bill is, and wanted more tips (but also didn’t even pay attention to the person with allergy?) 3. The desserts were SO BAD! They had did dish called Bacche Alla crema (cream and berries) and a version poached pear in cream and it was literally fresh fruit in heavy cream. Like watery heavy cream! 4. The restaurant smells faintly of mildew/trash smell. I don’t know if this is a function of their carpet/ building being old but it was not a pleasant smell. The waiter kept going on about the history of the place, but the basic service quality and food quality were just not there. Go here for the “character” and the Instagram pics- don’t go here for service and food.

They accommodated our group of 12 with various eating requirements - some required gluten-free, others vegan, some with small appetites. The food was superb; my gluten-free clam linguini was absolutely delicious. We will definitely come again when we visit SF for another theatre date.

The place is excellent with a friendly staff, cool vibe and good food. I got a hamburger with fries and they were accommodating about making it gluten free. I took away one star because if you are on the same side of the street, you most likely will not be able to find the place. There is a sign, but it's only visible from the opposite side of the street. The entrance is hidden down at the end of an unmarked alleyway.

Best hash I’ve had in a while and they could accommodate for gluten and egg free! Cute old style breakfast spot. The wait staff was awesome, the food came out fast, overall lovely breakfast

Christine Cambly-Care

Amazing Mexican food, friendly staff, helpful and answered all our questions. They were beyond patient at pointing out that they can not guarantee gluten free but showed all the food on the menu that does not contain gluten. Drinks were delicious, made fresh daily and you can tell the difference!! Would highly recommend
