Top 33 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Huntington Beach

Fran Ferlazzo

Best Wagu burger I've had and appreciated that I was able to order a gluten free bun. Hubs liked that he was able to create his own salad the way he wanted. Highly recommend!

Please come to south OC! The best fast healthy food with plenty of options for dairy and gluten free. Delicious, quick, clean restaurant.

Paul Brinton

The majority of the menu items were gluten-free, including the fish (coated with a rice flour crust) and chips, which were even cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer. The portion sizes were generous.

Kyle Mann

Love the corned beef hash! One of the best in town. Gluten friendly pancakes are great! Staff is always super friendly.

My wife and I had lunch here on a weekday. If you are staying at once of the resorts on the beach in HB this is a short walk. Plenty of parking (the restaurant validates). I had 3 tacos which were generously sized. They were amazing! Chicken Tinga, Grilled fish, and barbecued pulled pork. You can mix and match whatever you want. Service was great and they were. able to accommodate me being Celiac Gluten Free. Will be back

Delicious Gluten Free pancakes!!

Victoria Fleming

I loved this place, their coffee was amazing and best of all they had so many gluten free options, including pastries! Customer service was amazing and food was so good!!

I used to love this place and hadn't been here in quite some time. Having celiac, I am always trying to find places where my regular eating friends can also enjoy what they want. It was not busy at all this day, yet it still seems to take forever to be greeted. The atmosphere in there feels dead and stagnant. It isn't just this location; they all need an energy face lift. CPK is one of the very few places where they have a certified GF kitchen area. I was surprised that the server wasn't very knowledgeable regarding the gf foods they offer. It also is surprising that they can not do any alternatives to the things they offer on the gf menu. Want mushrooms on the gf pizza? Forget it. Prefer a white sauce instead of red? Forget it. Just Margarita, cheese, or BBQ chicken. What if I want a veggie pizza with white sauce? I don't understand why these simple things can not just be added to that part of the kitchen and kept gluten-free. Why haven't they stepped up their gf game and added a gf bread to offer their gf guests? In addition to all of this, it is shocking that they do not offer ANY gluten-free desserts! I mean, come on! And ice cream doesn't count. The manager was very kind and knowledgeable. However, this is a restaurant I will probably never come back to or recommend. They seem to be stuck back in the 90's, early 2000's.

I was a regular some time ago at this BJ's location and recently revisited with my east coast boyfriend to show him the famous pizookie(or as he calls it "pazonka" lol)!! We were very pleased with the attention and care from our server Aprill *with two LL's ;)* She was extremely patient with my indecisiveness and was very helpful with finding the right substitutions for a fellow veg-head!! I ordered the peanut soby noodles with NO chicken ;) and Joe was definitely satisfied with the gluten free bbq chicken-less pizza!! Service has for sure taken a turn for the better since I was last here! It looks like their management must've stepped up their game! Great job BJ's on Beach n Edinger!! :P

Bianka Spruill

Amazing service, delicious cocktails, and one of the tastiest meals I've ever had!! My husband had the petite filet and I had the porch chop. Both were phenomenal!! Also, I highly recommend the scallops appetizer. Absolutely amazing all around! (They even had gluten free bread for my husband!)

Kylee Giles

They fit in our party of 13 last minute after we had issues with another restaurant in the area. Food was delicious, super tender and tasty meats. The sides were great. They went above and beyond checking on all of their ingredients and answering all of our questions regarding their gluten free food options.

Trevor was amazing. Other servers were ignoring us, he came up and was amazing and took care of our dietary gluten restrictions. A+++

Therese Yang

Great food choices. Reasonable price. Gluten free options

Candace Sauve (Kiki)

Gluten free bread option, grass fed beef and eggs on the breakfast sandwich makes it a huge win for a pregnant person! The staff are friendly and so helpful, I accidentally spilled my lemonade as soon as I got it and they kindly replaced it. I’m coming back often!

Alma Rosa Reed

It's difficult to find good vegan and gluten food so when there are options, I'm curious to taste and see if it is any good. I had the beef brócoli substitute the beef for ham and it was good, I enjoyed it. My husband had the shaking beef and he liked it too, he wished it had more of the marinade/sauce. Great customer service!

Been coming here for seven years. I live local and do not always like to be around the crowds and the busy areas in downtown HB so this place offers a chic little venue with decent food and good customer service. Parking is street and I believe there is some underground parking although I have never used it as I tend to either walk here from home or park on the street or take the local circuit shuttle. Drinks are over priced for what you get but that’s almost at any fancy restaurant. Their craft cocktails are nothing exceptional ( I am a craft cocktail snob - extra picky so if you are not you will be fine here) but their food has been consistently excellent for years. There were years where it was hit or miss and I wouldn’t come back but always decided to try them again mostly because it’s one of the best views in town with the pier and ocean as well as it’s the Shore Break hotel which is in itself beautiful and very much in tune with the style of Huntington Beach and modern upscale restaurants. Lately I’ve been going there for their breakfast and it does not disappoint. Consistently great. The gluten free pancakes are the best on this planet and I’m not ordering them because I can’t consume gluten it’s because they taste phenomenal. It is by far the best thing there. As I’m vegetarian there are not too many options but a decent amount compared to most restaurants. Enough items to keep me coming back. My usuals are the buttermilk pancakes, veggies in the AM crepe(best crepe veggie omelet thing ever!) and the Thai tofu wrap soooo good. They have other veggie options you can see from others menu photo posts. They used to make these bbq avocado tacos that were amazing but they haven’t made them in years which is a big disappointment. Overall I highly recommend this place from its cozy chic inside dining area to the outside dining area overlooking the ocean from the side street.

Roberta Wall

My favorite is the flattened chicken skewer dinner! The chicken is so tender and flavorful. I have to eat gluten free, and there are several delicious options for me at this restaurant.

Jonnie

Friendly atmosphere with prompt and knowledgeable staff. Allergy friendly menu option including an amazing gluten free key lime pie! Hula dancers, live music, high chairs, changing table, amazing grub! Go check it out!

Mitchell Borden

Friendly guy at the counter, helped us select a gluten free option. OMG the jalapeño popper pizza!! So good!! The meat lovers was amazing! The BBQ chicken, excellent. The white pizza was good but not as mind blowing as the others.

Max Prior

What an amazing place! Definitely the best gluten free pancakes I’ve ever had in my life. My brother (who isn’t gluten free) said they were even better than his! We came here both days of our vacation because we couldn’t stay away! AMAZING Benedics. I love the option to choose one of each if you can’t decide! Marie did an amazing job highlighting some things that set apart Snooze from the rest, and I’ll for sure be on the lookout for a Snooze whenever I travel! I just wish we had one in Seattle 😉

Michael Fulp

Great affordable breakfast. My Chicken Fajita omlet and gluten free pancakes were perfect and enough to feed 4 of us. Always love Ihop for an affordable breakfast and great choices.

Cash only, but ATM inside. Vegetable omelette and Chile verde omelette absolutely delicious. Choice of side and bread or tortilla...gluten free options available as well. Both suggestions from our server who was wonderful and on point with her recommendations. Outdoor dining, seated quickly, and great service. 3 types of salsa brought to the table for self serve.

Eveline S

A favorite lunch/tea/coffee location for my friends and I. Outdoor and indoor seating. I usually get a salad without cheese and crisps since I am on a dairy-free & gluten-free diet. No problems with accommodating my rrquests. Food quality is consistently good and efforts to clearly indicate which food is unavailable (sold out) is appreciated.

Ashley Taylor

Great food, very fresh! Plenty of options for Gluten-Free & Vegan. The staff was friendly and there’s plenty of seating

Grace Mori (usagym2008)

I love this coffee shop. Good coffee and fresh pastries daily including gluten free and vegan options! You can order ahead online or order in store. They also have more brunchy foods on their menu as well.

Jessica Smith

The food here is delightful and it was easy to get things gluten free and vegetarian. The view was lovely and the service is excellent. Very great dining experience.

Lou Rice

You’ve never had a better açaí bowl, guaranteed! Absolutely delicious and nutritious! Located just a short walk from the HB Pier, highly recommended! Gluten-free and nut-free options available!

Aby Hutchison

We LOVE this place! The atmosphere is so good that we never want to leave. We have been to Huntington Beach twice and both times have gone to 25* twice both times. The wine is great, Old fashions great, live music (Friday night) was good… a lot of locals hang there which is always a good sign. Tbh the bacon wrapped dates keep us coming back!! So freaking good yo! Fries and wings are also very very good! I am gluten free (non celiac, intolerance) and have zero problems here.

Noelle Acampora

Delicious gluten free sandwiches.. super pricy but good when you're​ in a pinch

Michael Press

Sugar Shack Cafe is just outstanding! First of all, I called a few weeks before our visit to Huntington Beach to find out about gluten-free or gluten-friendly options and they were very helpful. When we finally did visit, our first visit was excellent and our second visit was even better! It was pretty busy yesterday and our server, Julia, handled it smoothly and was very friendly and helpful, an excellent server. This morning we had the pleasure of being served by (I think the owner/manager Ryan), who was warm and welcoming and friendly. Really made us feel comfortable. And his wife (I don’t think we got her name, sadly) took over service this morning and she was awesome, too. Very friendly, welcoming, and great with the coffee refills and everything else. The food was EXCELLENT. I know, you might be thinking how excited can you get about breakfast, but it was great. Coffee was delicious, bacon was crispy, eggs were fluffy, hash browns were particularly good - crispy, not the least bit greasy, just great! And the eggs Benedict (day two, this morning) were out of this world! First of all, I’ve almost never had an eggs Benedict dish come out hot, in any restaurant, ever, but here it came out hot! And the Hollandaise was great, not too lemony, smooth as silk; the ham was tasty, too! Nice English muffin too. Just the perfect eggs Benedict. PLUS - and a BIG plus for my wife and me - it’s open at 6 AM! And I love the ambiance with the surf photos on the walls, and it’s small but comfortable inside. And you CAN eat outside if you want. To me, this is the exact kind of breakfast experience you want, and I’m happy to support this business and highly recommend it to others!

Great coffee, welcoming atmosphere, and excellent customer service. I really love what Philz Coffee has going on. Their menu is interesting, refreshing, and unique. They offer a wide variety of different items, including gluten-free pastries that taste delicious! The first time I ordered their coffee, I was blown away with how delicious it was. I will say the second time I went, I was a bit disappointed with my coffee order, but because it is customizable, I may have just ordered a new flavor I didn't enjoy, or not added enough sweetener. I definitely had a great first impression, however, so I will be coming back in the future. Staff is really friendly, and they even have fundraisers sometimes for local charities such as a cat shelter where you can drop off items for them to donate. Overall, it was a great experience. Thanks!

Christie Nguyen

Got a chilaquiles that has a balanced taste with fresh ingredients (gluten free options). Friendly service too. Would be coming back!

Jason Orens

As someone who has to be gluten-free, I really appreciated the super-detailed menu they provided, with all allergens in each item. The food was good too, so I plan to be back!
