Top 9 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in South Oceanside

NEW FAVORITE SPOT! First off I love the idea of working with local farmers/ no waste + vegan on top of it all! Luckily I drove down to Oceanside from Los Angeles today to visit family and HAD to try this spot out. Mind you I’m not vegan BUT my experience today makes me want to go back to my plant based ways . I was greeted by RUBY who radiated such positivity! She was SUPER helpful explaining the menu to me and sharing a bit about the restaurants mission . What I loved about this spot is the staff REALLY believes in the mission. Everyone was super helpful and got me super excited to try the menu out . I started off with the soup of the day which consisted of coconut based broth with kale and other goodies ( DELICIOUS); followed by the cheesy truffle fries with beet “ketchup” ( BEST FRIES I’ve EVER HAD hands down!) and the plot primavera salad. It was the first time I’ve ever seen a restaurant use SEA BEANS and really appreciated it! As a forager I love picking this plant near the ocean and found out they harvest the SEA BEANS every morning . The salad was a delight. To top it off I had the makrut lime leaf ginger seasonal house soda + a festive gluten free dessert ( completely forgot the name but I’m wanting more of it !) All in all I had a 10/10 experience . The staff has to be the friendliest high vibration staff I have encountered in a very long time. Whoever is doing the hiring is doing a fantastic job! I loved this place so much I’m going back tomorrow before I head back to Los Angeles! Thank you Ruby for suggesting so many great food choices + excellent service!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Pizza & Brew lives up to its name and then some! Their Greek salad and house salad are both incredibly fresh and full of flavor total standouts. But the real surprise? The buffalo cauliflower wings crispy, spicy, and absolutely addictive. And don’t even get me started on their vegan, gluten-free, veggie yumminess pizza… it’s a flavor bomb in every bite. Five stars doesn’t do it justice more like five times five stars. Whether you’re plant-based or not, this place is a win. 👏🍕🌿🔥

Hadn't been here in a while but sure glad we came back. Refreshing to see they have maintained the same top notch quality, service and welcoming atmosphere over the years. I'm not much of a salad guy but I think the Cranberry Apple salad was one of the best I've had. The roasted wings with the sticky orange garlic chili sauce did not disappoint, I'm still licking my fingers 🤌. And let's not forget about the coal fired pizza, the CLSICS with beef birria was amazing and also gluten free to accommodate my better half. Keep up the great grinds, doing Oside proud. 🤙
