Top 14 Gluten-Free Bread Spots to Delight in Santa Barbara

Lovely little place in downtown SB that you'd never know was gluten-free if you didn't ask! Food was delicious, and they clearly put great care into their decor, tableware, and other accents. Save room for dessert, if you can!

I love this place so greatly, when I lived downtown I would eat here on the regular. The best thing is it is very inclusive of most diets and has a pretty nice selection of vegan and gluten free items, including at some times of year seasonal cakes and pies.. yumm.. However, today in summertime, their were more choices in the salad and entree bar; including some delicious looking pasta salads, and did I mention how high quality all the ingredients are? Today I kept it simple, and got the gluten free vegan snickerdoodle cookies. They are like puffs of sweet satisfying heaven. I can have few with a small latte and just allow my mind to travel and vacation for a moment. The latte which I had for their, in a cup, making it all the more cozy was divine. Steamed well as for the almond mylk, and had a lovely sweet nutty flavor to the espresso. Very quick service btw. Thats the beauty of this place is you can go and get a latte and nosh, or an entire meal and perhaps some wine.. I will keep coming back and have heard the best things about the owner, thanks for such a delectable space🙏🏽

Great restaurant, comfortable patio, gluten free hamburger bun option

So it's a pretty touristy experience. Brunch in the sun under an umbrella just off the beach? Check. Great food with little appetizer bonus? Check. (Blueberry muffin basket) People jogging by and a blonde waitress named Brooke with slight vocal fry? Check. But after driving up from LA all morning, that was what we wanted. In all seriousness, it was a great experience with unobtrusive gluten-free options. Will stop here again next time we are traveling through. Ymmv for locals, but the parking lot is almost empty and it's full, so people are walking here.

Mesa Burger is a buzzy, lively little restaurant with patio seating, shoehorned into the Mesa strip shopping center. Excellent burgers of many kinds, and supportive of gluten free diets. They also have an unadvertised build-a-burger option.

Pizza here is amazing and vegan + gluten free options are great, but $5 EXTRA for vegan cheese is a crime, especially when it's replacing dairy cheese.

Good service and friendly. I loved the gobbler sandwich! They have gluten free bread, but it comes packaged and pre-sliced, is smaller than the "normal" bread, and costs extra. They were apologetic about it to me, but as a gluten intolerant person, this happens a lot. I didn't mind it at all.

To be fair, I keep having one of the same two sandwiches over and over again. They're just so incredibly good. Each and every time, always fresh and flavorful, with the perfect balance of ingredients. And they're large and filling too. And get this ~ they don't charge extra for gluten free bread, which by the way is really good quality gf bread. If you're a fan of a good hearty sandwich, this might be the place to check out. I'm going to have to try other sandwiches and the salads look really good too. Cheers.

Now fourth time going to different stores everyone is always "out" of gluten free everytime I go in. Will not be trying anymore

Free parking across the street. Very fast service. Excellent sandwiches. Incredibly, the gluten free bread is also good. Nearby there is a Gino's pizza, which is a speck for an Italian. Much better Pastrami & Deli.
