Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across North Park, San Diego

Margaret Fell-Gordon

DELICIOUS!!! The flavor was mouthwatering! TOTALLY GLUTEN FREE TOO! First time I’ve had a quesadilla on a small tortilla in years no dining out. Highly recommended.

Tori Morrison

Loved this spot! Highlights: ambiance is a yes, pizza is a full fak YES. Their pizzas are a tribute to their own favorite pizzas from all over. Isn’t that the cutest and most inventive thing ever? Order: focaccia and burrata (just do it), enough pizzas to share, and some good drinks. We loved the tribute to the old Costco pizza and the meat lovers. Deep dish pizzas also looked to die for! Also, I’m gluten-free and LOVED their gluten-free pizza (usually I’m left feeling very disappointed but not here)! Great for: date night, friend hangs, family dinners, and casual solo pizza nights out with your dog (they have two patios for dogs to sit). Kids are welcome too! Make sure you make a reservation and try and carpool as parking around here is tough on a busy Friday/Saturday night.

Caffe Calabria is one of my new favorites. The gluten free pizza here is the best I've ever had. Amazing bar, and coffee roasting on site.

Sarah Wright

This is a really solid happy hour spot in the neighborhood! If you’re looking to stay gluten-free or are hanging with somebody who is GF, I’d recommend Bivouac. The space is really cool; feels like a camping lodge! Lots of warm wood, climbing ropes, etc. The meatballs and polenta bites were flavorful, delicious, reasonably priced and portioned, & had strong sauce/dip-pairings. Service was okay. Not super attentive, and the flight took over 10 minutes to come out, which was weird, since the place wasn’t that busy. They ignored us a bit once some influencers showed up, meh. Watch out for the pricing on the cider flights! (Meaning, there IS no listed price… think it was like $18 each? For 3 tasters.) The hummus/crudites appetizer is underwhelming, as the veggies could be cut less coarsely, and the hummus was disarmingly minty (and not enough for all the dipping objects).

Omg An’s Gelato is AMAZING. They start off by taking you on a “flavor tour” where you sample all of their flavors (about 6. They rotate their flavors every couple of weeks). Most flavors are gluten free, but let them know you have an allergy because they do have an occasional flavor that isn't GF. The staff is very knowledgeable. They even make their own GF waffle cones and occasionally GF cookies and breads that they mix into their flavors. I'm not kidding when I say that you will get HOOKED on this place. The first time I tasted their Canvas flavor (olive oil and rosemary with black salt- i know it sounds weird, but TRUST ME) it transported me to another dimension of complete bliss and euphoria with no worries in the world. It's no surprise that this place was awarded #1 Best Gelato/ ice cream in the country. The lines are always long- so expect to wait over 30 minutes on any given day. But it is worth the wait. They also have a location in Del Mar called An’s Hatmakers, and a location inside Petco Park called An's Athletic Field Services.

Love this spot so much! The best gluten free toast in town can’t go wrong with the mission rosemary and chicken apple sausage. Chefs kiss!

Matthew Hooper

Several items in the bakery display were labelled gluten free, but when went to eat them, we discovered they weren't actually gluten free. The panna cotta was atop a wheat cake, for example. The lack of care for these details means I'd recommend anyone with dietary restrictions to avoid this establishment

C Golding

Dietary restriction diners beware. I ordered a vegan entree and was served dairy butter along with it, which luckily I was smart enough to ask the waitress about before taking a bite. If a diner orders off the vegan menu, and the entree comes with butter, WHY would it be non-vegan butter? However, the server was kind, the food was tasty, and the restaurant was nice. I appreciated how well labelled the menu was for dietary restrictions (I am also gluten free) but would hesitate to return given the severity of that error.

Erin Famulare

Love coming here for breakfast or lunch, especially when I have visitors in town! They have a fabulous menu with lots of yummy gluten free options. I always order the tropical salad with shrimp and it’s huge with tons of fresh fruits and veggies, marinated grilled shrimp, and super flavorful basil vinaigrette. Their smoothies are awesome, too. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend checking this place out!

So you want/need a place with spacious, calming ambiance inside seating, as well as outside seating? You need to bring 15 friends?, well, they got you with plenty of room! ~Or maybe you meet one friend but have three hour’s worth of catching up to do? ~This is The Place! ~Where they have amazing vegan, gluten free donuts with chocolate frosting that tastes like a 5 star Michelin Bakery, haha!! Or maybe a beyond perfect raspberry square with a light buttery shortbread dough and perfection on the crumble topping which is not overly sweet that would please your Scottish Grandmom? How about awesome sandwiches, great toasted and cream cheese bagels, or Topo Chico if you don’t want coffee or tea?? AND Kind and cheerful waitstaff~Yes! We have been to many, many coffee shops/cafes around SD! So many seem to get their baked goods from Bread and Cie, which is ok, but super repetitive! I cannot say enough about this place. It is That Great! You will not be disappointed! Lastly there is a super cool little plant nursery that has wonderful succulent plants among others! There are also nice art cards and a small selection of gifts offered there! Enjoy!!

I loved it!! They have a gluten-free menu ❤️ and vegetarian options. The coffee is delicious!!! Their gluten-free bread is delicious!

We were blown away by the food! My daughter is Celiac so finding a restaurant that is safe is really a challenge, forget about it being fine dining. The staff was knowledgeable and caring about our concerns, plus there were so many options my daughter could safely choose from! We started with the Zucca (a delicious butternut squash salad) and finished with the Ditalini, a seafood-packed broth with HOMEMADE gluten-free pasta that is cooked separately, making it safe for celiacs. We were truly delighted by our experience at Cori and will definitely be back soon! Thank you for taking food allergies so seriously!

Miguel Sanchez

Was skeptical coming here as I thought it was only a Vegan place, however some of their food can be made to be vegan or gluten free. The Carne Asada was flavorful in the big breakfast burrito. My favorite thing was the Vegan Horchata Latte. I will be dreaming about that drink until the next time I come back to San Diego to visit.

Nick Velador

Got a gluten free pepperoni, sausage and jalapeno with garlic knots. Everything was delicious.

Willie Robles

First impression was good overall. Seating outside. Vegan and gluten free options available if you have allergies, but unfortunately they ran out of gluten free cones. Variety of flavors, but they don't give samples which sucks, because what if you don't like what you ordered...? The staff seemed annoyed and not too keen on the small talk, but they properly had a long day, so please have your orders ready when it's your turn. Spent about $26 (not including tip) for 3 items. If you like your shakes thick I wouldn't recommend the soft serve milkshake (it's soft serve...), but the homemade waffle cones are a nice touch (thin/crispy, not hard/crunchy)

Sherryl Santos

Service great. Food was not what I expected. I am a ravioli person for sure. For a higher end restaurant, I guess I expected to taste the lobster in lobster ravioli. The sauce needed more flavor too. My friend ordered gluten free pasta, and it was very very al dente. Atmosphere was nice, but it's definitely busy on weekends and pretty loud. Don't expect to have a quiet romantic date and be able to hear everything. I may come back to try the cocktails and bar area, since it is in the neighborhood. But, not for the food unfortunately.

Pearl Sedlock

Ive ordered a few times on doordash and i unfortunately have a gluten allergy. Although there is no option on doordash for gluten free, I was able to call and request it be made that way. They are super helpful and willing to accommodate my allergy. And it’s hands down the BEST gluten free pizza I’ve found in SoCal. The crust is NOT frozen, which is so hard to find! I’m gonna miss this place when I move out of state. Thank you Gelati and Peccati!!

This "coffee boutique" is a definite must -stop if you're in North Park. I had the Mexican mocha - YUM! I'd always wondered about the quality of Abuelita chocolate since I'm still discovering more and more about Mexican. But, OMG, it was fire! The lusciousness of that chocolate...wow! I need to head straight to the store and get some of it! My husband had the mocha with Reeces. Peanut butter explosion! He was a happy guy. My mom enjoyed a decaf Americano, which she described as "not bitter and very hot." Please take note that the parking situation is a challenge, putting it mildly. I have an 80-year-old mother and my own disability to take into consideration. I wish I'd known about the parking and entrance behind the store.That said, we were able to park around the corner, which was only a few steps away. It has a nice vibe to it. The menu is very vegan and gluten-free friendly, including the donuts! We would've stayed, but we had take-out in the car; otherwise, we would've stayed. Definitely have to keep this on the list.

Actually came here for Yelp event and took an order to go. It was just the plain Buttermilk Pancakes and Whipped Mascarpone topping. I actually wanted the red velvet pancakes but they don't have those to go to avoid any cross-contamination on their griddles at the back. The custom flavors are only available for stove top. To go orders were for gluten-free or buttermilk pancakes only. That said I actually really loved even those buttermilk pancakes so I can only imagine how good the red velvet must be! Just the right amount of sweet and I didn't even need to add any toppings on it. Mascarpone was perfectly smooth and delicious on its own as well. Really looking forward to coming here and making my own pancakes sometime soon.

Fantastic gluten free pizza crust! Always order the veg and customize. Yummy!!

Mamie Johnson

Amazing coffee, super friendly staff, and delish breakfast bagels (gluten free friendly options as well!). They also sell super cute local art and magnets that make great gifts

Update to yesterday's review. As We were leaving we talked with the server saying I just don't want to get sick from gluten....she laughed and said, Oh you won't get sick. Oh YES I DID! Celiacs BEWARE! Guess I should have taken the 5% Chance seriously. We came in in the afternoon and no one else was there. Ordered drinks and food. Sat nearly half an hour waiting. Finally food arrived but then she asked if we wanted drinks with the food. We reminded her of what we had ordered when we first arrived. So she did go and get them. We got the meat platter and asked her to tell us what each thing was. She just gave us the number of the items off the menu which we did not have. So we asked what each item was again. She the quickly said and went away...never to return until we went to the counter to ask for another drink. (Don't order the honey wine, it was just gross and tested of mold.) Then about 15 minutes later she brought the drinks. She was nice enough just not a a good server. Gluten free was requested and she would say well it is 95% gluten free. I said what is the 5 percent that isn't. She thought that was funny. I will revise if I get sick. Enjera was gluten free and none of the meat contained gluten, I was told. ???

Okay! I do not think this place is overrated! It was awesome! Such a neat interior, great food and drinks and fun atmosphere! I really think the food (whole fish) was quite tasty! I’d love more gluten free options too for next time (there were some, but a bread or pita gf would be perfection!) Thanks for the experience!!! Love, a local NP couple ❤️

Thomas Keady

My wife has Celiac Disease and Pho is a good safe go to. Just so everyone is aware, they cook the GF noodles in the same water as the non GF. This cross contamination results in the food no longer being gluten free. Shank and Bone needs to update their menu to show this and avoid getting anyone sick. Love this place so its sad to hear this

Carrie Ames

The falafel is absolutely delicious. As is the garlic sauce. The falafel bowl is vegan and gluten free.

Jennifer Sprehe

Excellent service and gluten free pizza! Cameron was the best server, super attentive and pleasant. Wonderful town gem!

Mamie Johnson

Delish food & many gluten free options as well! Mar & Tierra anything is great😍

Denise Denise

I'm surprised this place wasn't more crowded. The food was DELICIOUS, unuque (if that's what you want) and reasonably priced. Even the traditional fare, like my friend and I had (if you want to call a terducken burger 'traditional') were cooked to perfection and tasted just really really good. They had 3 options for the buns: brioche, gluten-free, or vegan. I had my burger animal style though because we couldn't determine if any of the buns were soy-free. Their BBQ sauce is though - they make it in house & it's pretty tasty too. Whenever I go through North Park, I'll definitely come here again.

Mike Rossi

Great ice cream. It's the same quality as all the others with a large variety of gluten free choices.

ivan oliveros

Here's something new for my taste buds... Delicious and beautiful Moroccan and Mexican flavor fusion! We were craving something Mediterranean and tacos at the same time and this popped up on Google! No reservation needed and gluten free options were appreciated 👍

Kenz M.

So many naturally gluten free dishes!!

Kaylyn Everhart

This place is pretty good when they get your order right. However, I don’t recommend ordering from any delivery service. I used to love getting the gluten free chow mein because of the thin rice noodles and amount of vegetables, but I’ve had a problem with almost every order over the last year. When I add chicken, they used significantly fewer vegetables. When I made a note about wanting the normal amount of vegetables, what I received was a dish of only chicken and vegetables (no noodles). The next time, they gave my food to the wrong driver and tried to blame it on DoorDash, while refusing to remake the order for the driver who was actually assigned and on their way. I thought maybe I was just unlucky so this most recent time my husband ordered, and even though the box was labeled correctly as gluten free, it was chicken with thick lo mein noodles inside. So as the saying goes, burn me once shame on you, burn me four times I guess I have to find a new Chinese takeout spot.

Danielle Lein

OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Came here with our Bridal party for brunch, was a short wait to get seated. Our server Tyler was the absolute best, most kind person, and made our experience that much better and more fun! And don't even get me started on the food! If your looking for something, fresh, farm to table, organic, only the best ingredients, and absolutely delicious!! This is the place!! The best food and drinks I've had in a long while! Truly quality food that you can taste! The galaxy tea was such a fun experience too! The dutch pancakes were absolutely to die for!! They also had a gluten free lava cake dessert that was great for one of the girls in our party. The atmosphere was really beautiful and the bathrooms were clean. And our server Tyler even brought a free dessert for our bride! This place was so good that we are still talking about it and we want to go back! There is so much more on the menu to try!

Amazing food and I know because tasted Ethiopian food in dozens of restaurants around the world. veggie combo is top quality and the gluten free injera is fantastic, I’ve eaten here 3 times in one week already!

Maclaine Scher

Phenomenal iced dirty chai! Gluten and vegan pastry options that are really delicious!

Nikkie Slaughter

Love this place but it can be inconsistent, especially with the sushi. So, one star off for that, but I still eat here all the time and highly recommend it. The salt and pepper is the best dish ever; get it with crispy shrimp (if you're not gluten free) or fried tofu (if you are) - SO GOOD! The dynamite and TJ rolls are also my favorite.

Cozy ambiance, decorated for the Christmas holidays—perfect for my birthday dinner! Great, attentive service. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious! They were also very knowledgeable and accommodating for gluten free options. This is the first French restaurant with many GF items. Thank you, Et Voila!! The drinks: pinot & a blackberry smash mocktail. The eats (all GF): salade du jardin au bleu, fromage/cheese (MANCHEGO & Brillat-Savarin), mussels (MOULES MARINIÈRE), scallops (COQUILLES ST-JACQUES, BEURRE AUX HERBES), lamb shank that fell off the bone (JARRET D'AGNEAU AUSTRALIEN, SAUCE AU CUMIN), French onion soup For my birthday dessert: chocolate pot de crème

Jake Baccay

Great food and amazing people! The ceviche and camarones were next level. Creative menu and many gluten free options. North Park has needed a place like this for a long time and now it's here. Super fun atmosphere with Djs on the weekend as well. I'll 100% be going back for the food and the vibes!

Travis Pluss

Delicious! Loved the Meat Stack. Hoping for more Gluten Free dishes in the future.

Allison Ohle

I don’t think they’re GF! I think the review just had a spelling error

Jenn Soto

This is a gem I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SHRIMP PAD THAI (it’s gluten free)✨ it was amazing, the shrimps were big and well seasoned and cooked, we also got the basil beef, it was a 8/10 a little smaller than the pad Thai but also yummy. The athmosphere makes you feel like in another country 👌 good for a nice late lunch with friends. Also the appetiser “Son in law wings” was fantastic, the sauce was 10/10 I kept a little for the plate.

Great location. Fresh Thai food. I wish the staff was more knowledgeable about gluten allergies. Overall, good food if you are craving Thai and are in the area.
