Top 13 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Delight in Oakland

Cristina Garcia

I traveled from Sacramento to try this gluten-free bakery. I was very surprised by the variety of items available. I wish they would open a location close by.

Great coffee spot for vegan treats. Some gluten free options as well.

A delicious gluten free sourdough bread. Oh how I've missed that. To top it off, their customer service and attention to quality control are five star as well.

Richard Grala

Tremendous breakfast/lunch spot. Great breakfast sandwiches. Gluten free English muffin is also very good if you need GF. Mainly bagel sandwich options with a nice espresso bar

This black owned business has the absolute best cupcakes. They are so moist and flavorful. The flavors are too die for!! This is a must! They have vegan and gluten free options.

Crumble & Whisk recently catered dessert for our organization's event. First, the cookies (in an incredible assortment of flavors) and gluten free/vegan brownies were delicious. Second, they were great to work with and super communicative. We would highly recommend using them for an event.

I've never been dissapointed coming here! If you love a good crusty sourdough like me, then you must try Arizmendi! I'll confess it's not the best SD loaf I've had but pretty close to it and only because the Bay Area has too many choices which make the SD competition stiff here. They do, however, make the best heavenly sourdough pizza on earth and offer a delicious daily vegetarian soup that will leave you with a very difficult choice to make. As for the baked goodies, the almond flour brownie is the best brownie I've ever had and it's gluten free!?! But don't let that keep you from trying it...I couldn't't believe I actually found a GF item I like. Even my kids approve! Unfortunately, the Lakeshore location is the only one selling it but don't worry any pastry at Arizmendi is great. Croissants are flaky and buttery, cookies are chewy and fresh... You can't go wrong with Arizmendi on any given day.

The gluten-free chocolate cake was incredibly tasty! I called in advance and was informed that they were initially sold out. However, they had more batter available and were able to bake some additional cakes within 30 minutes.

My boyfriend is gluten/dairy free and we came here based on good ratings from the Find Me GF app. While he couldn’t have the donuts, we were mainly after brunch and the tofu scrambles were delicious! He had the Pepples scramble with avocado, and I had the Pesto scramble. Both come served with hash browns and sourdough toast, so we just left out the toast for him. I usually don’t love tofu but this dish was absolutely delicious! We are from out of town but will definitely stop back here if we’re in the area again 😄

Culinary Excellence is amaaaaaaaazing! Their food is on point, their service is super responsive, and their prices are really reasonable for what they offer! I've used them a few times to send catering gifts to friends in need (recovering from surgery, etc.), but we also got to enjoy their food directly over Thanksgiving. Culinary Excellence set up a Thanksgiving-for-2 meal so that we wouldn't cook and waste an entire ten-pound turkey. The turkey meal came with a ton of side dishes, easy instructions to heat, and they even customized around my gluten sensitivity! We loved the meal AND had tons of leftovers even though we brought our huge appetites to Thanksgiving dinner. If you're looking for a really positive catering experience, look no further -- Culinary Excellence is the real deal!

Mary Pezzuto

Small neighborhood Safeway with a better selection of meats, cheeses, cookies and breads than some of its larger counterparts. Better selection of gluten free matzos and other products.

Sabih Mir

Super friendly, vegan and gluten-free donuts and vegan gelato! They often host plant-based food pop-ups in store as well. Get in before they sell out!

Sunjay Varma

Such a cute restaurant! We couldn't decide so we got one slice of each pie they had for sale today. So delicious!! I love the way they mixed classic pie flavors with new ones I've never had before. You can eat your pie while eating board games upstairs or eat outside. Locally sourced, fresh produce. Everything is labeled with common dietary things like dairy and gluten. They have way more than pie on their menu too! Will definitely have to come back for brunch sometime!! Love this place!
