Top 32 Gluten-Free Late-Night Spots to Enjoy in Oakland

Being celiac, I blame myself for believing that a Mac and Cheese place that offers a gluten free alternative could be for real. Don’t be fooled by their ‘GF available’ option, either the sauce was made with flour, or they reused the water to boil the pasta, but I had the worst gluten experience of my life. It was way beyond cross contamination. I agree that the food was delicious, but I would not risk it being are celiac or gluten intolerant, I regretted it deeply. The restaurant agreed to reimburse my plate and ‘look at the kitchen footage’… one week later and I am still waiting for the refund and never heard about their conclusion. I would not brand this place GF unless they change to a dedicated kitchen. To end the night on an even lower note, although not the restaurant’s fault, our car got broken into, parked right outside the restaurant.

I’ve eaten here more than 10 times. I’ve never had one bad meal here, not one. I have impressed a lot of people that I have brought here with me from the harden foodie to the person who needs gluten free. Their gluten free menu is spectacular. This restaurant works hard on all fronts. The service is always warm and on point. Periodically, there is a a massive breakout celebration going on for someone’s party. The mood is chill and unpretentious. Do yourself a favor and experience it yourself!

It's a Punk Rock themed Japanese (mostly) gluten-free restaurant that specializes in fried chicken (get the fried chicken, trust me). If that description doesn't entice you, you're probably not cool enough for this place anyway. Basically only thing that isn't gluten-free are some of the beer options (there are gluten-free options too)-great for me as my wife has the allergy and I like gluten in my beer. Glad we stumbled across this place.

Love the tastes of their pizzas! They really know how to make delicious sauces with select toppings! I go for gluten free pizza, where the crust is crunchy and the pizza is caftily baked every time. I like to sit at the bar for the atmosphere, and the bartend is friendly, prompt, polite, and can make for a good chat.

Delicious Ethiopian food, one of the best in the area. This is our go-to for special occasions. We always get the big combo platter, which has a bit of everything, and it's all so tasty! They have teff-based injera bread available, which is great if you are gluten free. Service can be a little slow, and it's always on the cold side, even indoors, but the food is worth it.

Great ramen broth, generous meat portions, excellent gluten free noodles! Also fantastic cocktails.

There are gluten free options for people not allergic or celiac. If you are very sensitive don't dine here unless you are content with salad. The staff was five stars for transparency, and not sending me home with six weeks of agony. Really appreciate it.

Reliable staple in my life. Fontell is a great host and member of the team. Such a great place for gluten free fries, gluten free wings, gluten free pizza, vegan Buffalo sauce is a must!

I LOVE this place! My roommates and I are obsessed with the nachos, their protein options never miss and it's all quality and generous quantity. I really love the fried Japanese sweet potato tacos & tostadas too, and the mushroom options are great for the soy-free/gluten-free crowd. I wish nothing but success for La Venganza and their yummy, plant-based delicious dishes, we will keep coming back!!

An absolutely amazing experience tonight. Came out with friends for some food, and had a great time chatting while watching pokemon and eating amazing burgers. A friend can't eat gluten and they had gluten-free options for them. Both me and them got the smokehouse burger which was amazing. At first I was skeptical of the price but wow. The amount of food and how filling it was was absolutely worth it. Also it was delicious. The other burgers chosen looked good too. One of my friends are a walk away so they will be back with their partner!

If you’re in SFO or Oakland and looking for a place that combines incredible food, amazing ambiance, and top-notch service, Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine is it. The vibe here is simply fantastic—bright, lively, and full of Instagram-worthy spots that will have you snapping pics all night. We were short on time, so we opted to share a couple of dishes, and they did not disappoint. First was the Roti Mataba: Stuffed roti with curry chicken, potato, onion, and peanuts, paired with curry sauce. Absolutely delicious. And we got the Thai Vacation Dessert: A delightful mix of fresh coconut, sticky rice, coconut ice cream, coconut cream, peanuts, and sesame. Sweet, creamy, and refreshing—it’s a dessert dream come true and also gluten-free! Though we didn’t have time to explore more dishes, this place has earned a solid spot on our must-return list.
