Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across California

Note: Only writing this to let the owner know in case they aren't aware of the celiac review apps and the recent change. It's otherwise an excellent place with amazing staff and food, hope that it can get resolved for the celiac community. Something has gone wrong with their sourcing of gluten free ingredients. I have celiac and suddenly after incorporating this restaurant into my diet my blood work numbers have exploded upwards. I track my numbers very closely multiple times a year and I've done a lot of elimination and it points pretty heavily towards this place as being the culprit. This also reflects in the reviews for find me gluten free website where people are getting violent reactions in the last year. Hopefully they eventually figure out where the gluten is coming from so that other celiac individuals and I can go back here again as their food is otherwise very tasty. I would recommend them to redo the testing that they once did in 2019 to figure out where the source of the problem is. Thank you

I think this is gonna be interesting

chicken sandwich

love it

Apparently I’m not a fan of gluten free bread and pastries. Things tasted dry, we’re crumbly and just lacked the texture I am used to. Flavors were ok, I’m sure it’s a wonderful place for those with the dietary restrictions.

AMAZING! i'm celiac and they were on top of it! great selection! very trustworthy with celiac and cross contamination!

I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.

Totally Gluten free heaven

My friend, who is severely celiac, got very sick here. They say all the food is gluten free, but that’s obviously not true. We looked up everything about this restaurant after she got sick and saw the review of some other person on this site who also got sick. They sell a lot of oats, so that’s probably why she got sick. Cross contamination. Watch out!!! For the not celiac’s, the food is good it just isn’t totally gluten free.

I met Virginia of Epic Magazine there. She is gluten intolerant and I am aiming towards a gluten free lifestyle. Unfortunately I do not know the cashiers, server, or clean up persons name. However her customer service was superb, our food was delicious and I liked the cleaner minimalist look. Came back a second time and bought the gluten free breaded chicken fillets. Excellent and for two people quite a few meals, plus quick and easy.

Best place!!

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.

Chris Canning

I am so glad we discovered this restaurant! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive and my sangria was perfect. I can't eat gluten so that fact that the restaurant is completely gluten-free was wonderful! I could eat anything from the menu! And my company, who can eat gluten, also enjoyed everything they had and didn't notice the lack of it. I also appreciated that the hand washing sinks were located outside of the toilets so patrons could wash hands without waiting for full facilities. We all had the Baja-Style Cod which we each thought was amazing, and started with guacamole and chips and ceviche. The portions were just right. I hope Copita opens in NY!!!

Jeremy Mozlin

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!

Amy Tung

Delicious breads and foods

On a Thursday evening a few weeks back, we called in a takeout order. Originally I had ordered a gluten free pizza, but Alfredo called us back to notify us that they were out of gf dough. Instead, we opted for the following: the kids’ gluten free mac and cheese (I am cheesy), a side salad (such a deal!), and GF I Am Beloved (an elevated version of the classic mac with a brisket-like lions mane mushroom/butternut squash/Brussel sprouts situation. Talk about a flavor explosion! When we arrived, Alfredo explained the loyalty program - sign up and get $10 off your first order. He seamlessly allowed us to honor the offer on our visit. His thoughtfulness and customer service, coupled with the delicious food, made for a lovely evening. I wish there was a Cafe Gratitude in NYC because I would be there on a weekly basis for their clean eating, kindness, and good vibes! Also, I need the key lime pie ASAP.

I don’t understand how they’re still in business. The service is decent, but the baked goods are terrible. I tried them years ago when there were hardly any gluten free bakeries around, so they were a decent option considering there was almost nothing else available, but after all these years nothing has improved and there are far better options out there. The frosting is awful and they really need to develop a new recipe. The cakes are dry and just don’t taste that great. One of the items i got was so disgustingly sweet I had to throw it away after a few bites. Everything is completely overpriced especially considering how terrible they are. I’ll just keep going to Modern Bread and Bagel and Kirari West because Erin Mckenna’s is not worth it with the quality of their recipes

John Hoeglund

My absolute favorite brunch spot in SF. Outstanding food entirely gluten free and vegan. Safe for most major allergens.

Kaelie Rose

Their baked goods are amazing!!! I visit everytime I am in San Diego

Victoria Alice

Donuts

Ashley Clark

If you love fries half as much as I do, this is definitely a place to come! Their loaded/drunk fries with carne asada??? Oh my goodness. The guacamole had just the right amount of spice, the Pico wasn’t too citrusy, the fries are FRESH CUT potatoes, the meat seasoned to perfection. The melted cheese? The aioli on top?…. Like woah, I’m blown away. 10/10 would highly recommend. Also, the street corn was good! Was piping hot! *the drunken fries are gluten free for those that are wondering*

Deepthi Rao

I can’t believe all the great reviews here. The service was terrible- we were ignored for over 30 mins before our order was served. The waitress didn’t seem to even bother to ask us about our food- though she was doing that to all the neighboring tables (racist much?). The food was quite bad, tbh. The hot shrooms were drenched in oil- had no salt or flavor, and oozed oil when we bit into it. My friend felt really nauseated after because of all the oil in it. The pizza was also under seasoned(we got the motor thingy)… the tomato sauce was really sweet- not in a good way. It felt like they had added sugar instead of salt. The gluten free crust was more like a focaccia, it wasn’t bad but felt like I was eating a sweet tomato focaccia toast, not a pizza. And there was really no flavor outside of the sweet tomato sauce. Very disappointed.

Faythe Hansen

Our experience was fantastic. The food was amazing! My friend has a severe gluten allergy and pretty much all the food on the menu was gluten free (even the fried chicken!) and she was so excited. We went right before 6 and it was quiet and delightful but com 6:30 the crowd started to pour in and it became very loud. It was not anything that was truly bad but it did take away from the experience a little for me. Loved it though, will definitely go again!

Jessica Schneiderman

Best pasta joint in LA! Been coming here for over 20 years. When I discovered that they had GF options, I literally did a victory dance because I didn’t have to give up on one of my favorite places. I wish they’d make their tiramisu in a GF version…that’d make this place perfect.

Mark Gomez

Amazing pizza, great gluten free options and always great service

Jenna Portela

Entire menu can be made gf and they do their best with cross contamination

Mariah carpenter

Cute gluten-free bakery in Santa Cruz, and I must say the most authentic taste and gluten-free doughnut. I tried the coconut and it was really neck an neck to an original old-fashioned donut!

Eva Jotkowitz

100% gf

Ray Ray

Great service, very little wait. Pizzas were good, and love their gluten-free pizza options. Even though it’s a chain, it’s a nice place and worth the Uber!

Sai Janaswamy

Small coffee shop. Sells vegan and Gluten free coffee and treats! Right across the Safeway here. Everything is delicious. I would highly reccomend the Dever cupcake for any sweet tooths out there. And if u love your vailla, you will love it more. The cake is very moist and delicious. Its not at all overpowering with vanilla cake and frosting. 😋🫰🫰

Daphne Bliss-Rosval

I go here all the time for the sweet plantain bowl so I got it catered to my birthday party ! It was a super easy process and my guests said it was the best food they'd had catered at an event! We had vegan and gluten free people and so it was able to accommodate everyone :)

Greg Caliwag

Forget that this place is gluten free goods. It's one of, if not the best bakery in the area. Even if you aren't gluten free, you should eat here anyway because you won't know any difference.

Timothy Garvey

Delicious and nearly everything is gluten free, too. It was so good that we ate there one night and went back for lunch the next day to try some things we didn’t eat the night before.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!! I have been to other Urban Plates but I Enjoyed this one for sure. Came with my coworker he's from San Diego and showed him this spot since we were on lunch. We met Karla I believe she was new ( I'm sorry if I got her name wrong) and she is amazing at Customer service being patient and kind as my coworker was orderering. She didn't rush but she was Patient and was also able to help us in Customer Service. Not only that but she went above and beyond but I can tell she was kind and so was other employees who took our plate and offered to even replenish our drinks and take our Plates. Love your Services!! I ordered the Steak platter with Brussel sprouts and mash potatoes and other was a Burger I forget what kind but we also purchased a Cookie with a complementary cookie. I enjoyed my meal today felt like I was cooking at home. Over all steak was super juicy mash potatoes had flavor so as the brussel sprouts. The cookies we had was Chocolate cookie and Gluten free Cookie with that Sea Salt on top was really Amazing. Over food was great, Service A++ Atmosphere was vining was looking at the Flower that's in black and white painted on the ceiling. Overall I was impressed by Karla. Karla you will do great!! Keep going YOU WILL DO WELL!! Thank you Urban Plates!!

Georgia Maass

BEST gluten free donut I’ve ever had! 👏🏼🍩

Rebecca Antonelli

Incredibly good gluten free desserts, fairly priced, and friendly staff! 100% recommend.

Gee Pii

Food was amazing, great service! We had gluten free gnocchi, steak and ossobuco.

Malin Schn

Absolutely delicious gluten-free arepas! Felt completely safe even with celiac disease.

Bry

Amazing gluten free burrito. Both the shrimp and plantain ones are top tier.

Gabriela Torres

Very cute neighborhood cafe. I am gluten and dairy and they had gluten free toast. The food was great

Maryam K

All the pastries are amazing

Celeste Villalobos Tahamont

The whole staff is amazing. Friendly, great service. Potatoes, mind-blowing. Biscuit, crunchy deliciousness with honey butter and home made jam. Scallion, egg, crab scramble! Gluten free almond flour pancakes so tasty.

Nicki Ohrstrom

The best gluten free choices! The server was so fun & personable!

SHAINA PRITCHARD

My sister and I will stop by here just to grab their Buffalo Cauliflower Bites *Drooling* and we absolutely refuse to share we have to get our own order. The vibe is anywhere from casual and relaxing on the patio to romantic and fine dining inside. The menu is constantly evolving with the seasons. I have tried many of their burgers as a lettuce wrap and with the gluten free bun, pumpkin doughnut holes, asparagus risotto, and peach pie! Revolution never disappoints. They share a parking lot with Temple Coffee & a :10 second walk to the Coop or Pushkin Bakery!

STEVEN LOCKYER

The most amazing place for celiacs in the world

Maryam K

Pastries, food except croissants are gluten free

Martin Gomez

I always try and remember HUGOS is ONLY good for the Churros. Yes you can get vegan, vegetarian and gluten free there but after today I really don't think it's worth it. Service isn't great and food is bland, no flavor, lack of salsa and when I asked for salsa for 3 tiny burritos with very little meat, I get 1 small half full tiny cup. After tip , i spent $84 on 3 burritos, 2 drinks and 3 churros. Seems pretty steep for bland food and half way decent service. From now on the amazing GF Churros will be our only purchase

Kristie Rolfsen

MUST EAT HERE! Celiac, just eating gluten free, or not. This place is amazing. We loved the Chicken Tinga Tostadas and Rolled Tacos.
