Amazing vegan find in La Jolla, it was on a rooftop so it was so pretty and it was just an 11 min walk from the beach. We got desserts and both were amazing, we got the brownie and the carrot cake and both were soooo good. We couldn’t even tell the brownie was gluten free. They had so much food we wish we could’ve stayed for dinner.

We loved Puesto!! I have a tomato and gluten allergy which is often tough at Mexican restaurants, but our server was super helpful and accommodating! The meal was some of the best Mexican food we’ve had, highly recommend!!

My wife chose this place for their gluten-free options and positive reviews, and it did not disappoint!! Natalie was the best server ever! The manager was accommodating when we got there, and the food was fantastic! Our kids loved the watermelon juice, and I loved the root veggie juice. I could go on and on. What an amazing brunch!! Thanks, Natalie and team!!

We were seated quickly, no waiting. The food came quick enough. The gluten free waffles are amazing, I added bananas. If you're gluten free def worth a visit. The strawberry crepes and baked apple pancakes were big hits at our table. Service was really great, top notch, highly recommend

Gluten-free options a great fusion between Indian and Thai excellent service with every attention to detail and specifically the Burmese chili Shrimp dish was fantastic.

Liz Teplitsky

Amazing restaurant! The waitress told us that the owner has celiac, so many items are gluten free or can be made gluten free! I had the fish and chips, which they said are completely GF, and there’s no shared fryer with gluten containing items! The only modification I needed to make was asking to not have the malt vinegar on my plate.

Shavonne Mills

This was the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had. I loved it and would recommend it 100 times.

Meredith Pobanz

Super cute coffee shop. The sandwiches were amazing- specifically the avocado turkey sandwich. If you’re gluten free, they have gf bread as well! Highly recommend stopping by here.

D'yan J DeBruin

So happy they have gluten free French toast and it was delicious with strawberries and whip cream!!

Eva Pruitt

Literally the best place ever. Dave and Dan are so sweet and the food is so so good! They have gluten free bread too for any allergens. If Dave is making his homemade tomato soup, you HAVE to try it (dairy free!). Perfect for a beach day or quick lunch and super friendly atmosphere!

Anna B

The best gf breakfast sandwich!

I had the flourless cake, my colleagues had the burger and Flatbread. The burger was a huge hit gone. I was told the Flatbread was good, it looked delicious, lots of cheese. The view was amazing. The gluten-free options were not listed and not a huge selection of what should be "naturally" gluten-free.

Eat Crispy Burger in La Jolla is seriously one of the BEST burger spots I’ve ever been to! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Classic Crispy Chicken Burger, and it was cooked perfectly—super crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The bun was soft and buttery, and the pickles and sauce added the perfect kick. I also tried their fries, and wow—they were hot, crispy, and seasoned just right. I dipped them in the house sauce and couldn’t stop eating them. My friend got the veggie burger and loved it too, so there are great options even if you’re vegetarian. The service was amazing. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they made sure our food came out quickly and just how we ordered it. They even came by to ask how everything was, which made the whole experience feel extra nice and personal. The atmosphere is fun and laid-back, with a modern design and a clean, comfortable setup. It’s the kind of place that works for almost any situation—hanging out with friends after school, grabbing a meal with your family, or even a chill date night. It’s lively, but not too loud, so it’s easy to talk while you eat. We didn’t need a reservation and were able to walk in and find a table right away. I spent around $15–$20, which felt like a great deal for how good the food was. There are vegetarian options, and you can ask about gluten-free buns if you have dietary needs. Parking was fine—we found a spot in a small lot nearby, and there’s also some street parking. It’s definitely kid-friendly, and the space is wheelchair accessible, with a smooth entrance and enough room to move around comfortably. If you’re ever in La Jolla and craving something crispy, flavorful, and satisfying, you absolutely have to check out Eat Crispy Burger. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Very nice staff, they worked quickly and were super polite. Luckily for me, there was gluten-free pasta, it tasted good and arrived warm, but it wasn't exceptional. Price-performance was right.

Megan Hill

We had an amazing experience at Barbella! The food was absolutely delicious—everything was cooked to perfection. Our waiter, Art, provided excellent service, staying attentive and making sure we had everything we needed. They also had sooo many gluten-free options, which was a huge plus! The Valentine's decorations outside were adorable and added a charming touch to the atmosphere. We realized after leaving that we forgot to check out the inside, but based on the outdoor decor, I’m sure it was just as lovely. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Bryce DeNovellis

Great sandwiches, my wife got the Gluten Free roll and said it was fantastic. Great for both dietary restrictions or the regular roll.

Amy Garabedian

Service was phenomenal, had a wonderful experience visiting with family. I had looked at the menu ahead of time and didn’t see specific gluten free items, so I figured I would order a salad or something, but I did ask and they do offer gluten free pasta and most sauces were also gluten free which was a very nice surprise. Husband had short ribs which were incredibly tender and I splurged on pasta. All delicious.

Kinsey Britton

Im so happy my partner and I found this spot tucked in next to the Starbucks! The gluten-free pizza was spectacular and my partner liked their sandwich so much it was gone before I could snag a photo 😂

An amazing view of the ocean if you request to sit next to the window. We waited at least 10 minutes before anyone spoke to us while seated and it was very slow. The food was good! The service was okay, they had gluten free noodle options, but the most of the broths itself were not GF. the view was so so beautiful which made the evening so lovely! Not too expensive, lots of space for large parties.
