Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Central LA, Los Angeles

Needed a wedding cake for a small group that was vegan & gluten free. It being nut free was an added bonus as we did have a friend with said allergy that I was just going to buy regular cupcakes for. We got the small brownie cake with coffee frosting. It’s a very rich cake and we had plenty of leftovers. It was so cute and the perfect size for our small group.

What a hidden gem. Tucked inside a pharmacy, it’s easy to miss but absolutely worth the hunt. Everything is completely vegan and gluten free, and you would never even guess. I can't begin to describe how delicious everything is here. The hibiscus donut, the churro donut, the brownie, the cream filled donut hut—every single item is incredible. This is a woman owned small business and truly something special. The prices are more than fair. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You’ll want to keep going back.

Oh wait….gotta go…my gluten free peach cobbler is coming!! Trust me….eat here!!!

Swingers in Hollywood isn’t just a diner—it’s a slice of LA history with a side of sass and really good fries. This place has been serving up late-night eats and early-morning recoveries since the days when indie bands and studio execs shared booths. It’s got that lived-in cool without ever trying too hard: checkerboard floors, jukebox charm, and the low hum of a city that never quite sleeps. The food? Way above the curve for diner fare. Think golden pancakes with just the right chew, fresh arugula tucked into a breakfast burrito, wild-caught tuna melts that taste like someone in the kitchen actually cares. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just hungover and looking for comfort, they’ve got something legit—and made with better ingredients than you’d expect at 2am on Sunset. What really pulls it all together is the staff. Engaged, sharp, always game for a little banter if you are, or just genuinely attentive if you’re flying solo. They know their regulars, but they’re just as warm to first-timers. Swingers is the kind of place that keeps its edge without losing its heart. A diner that feels like home—if your home had really good huevos rancheros and cooler people hanging around.

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!

Charlotte Thompson

Gluten free waffles aren’t coeliac safe, not cooked on a separate fryer

Julieta Rodriguez Groves

The best? They have a gluten-free menu. But I don't know how to find it in the main menu, you have to scan a QR or ask the waiter.

Trey Patterson

Server natalie j was a gem! She was very careful with my Celiac disease. The food was great, the short rib was a little over done, however, the beverages were superb, and I had a great time overall!

Danielle Drummond

Such a cool place! The server was doing it all and doing such an amazing job! They had gluten free options, which was a plus for us! The food was amazing and a great price!

Ana Carla

The food is delicious, and place itself is awesome, they have board games that we can play while waiting for the food, and they also have gluten free food.

Gemma Rose Brandt

Amazing gluten free options, especially for those with a sweet tooth. Best GF doughnut I've ever eaten. Great spot for something to eat and drink after a hike.

Leany Le Feu

A delightful LA local spot. Perfect for brunch with friends or an afternoon date. They serve alcohol here and have dairy free/ gluten free options.

Natalie Hampton

Great gluten free options, knowledgeable staff, and even a selection of gluten free baked goods! The mochi cookies are AMAZING!

Shuccle

Exceptional gluten free celiac safe pizza, in LA !!! I have celiac disease, so finding safe joints to enjoy a warm pie is always tough. I called here ahead of time to ask if they can cater to someone with celiac, and the manager who picked up the phone (his name is Fred) was so nice! Absolutely outstanding customer service. I felt right at home. I'll be completely honest though, as good as the pizza was, I've had tastier GF pizza in LA. However, I'll be darned to ever find customer service as amazing as I did tonight, so I'm not even complaining. 5-stars all-around!

Rose Metcalf

The menu is extensive! I love the Spinach Benedict and the strawberry french toast (both made gluten free) with their mimosa. This is the perfect weekend/ post-hike treat.

Iman Jebara

Three words: GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES!!!!!!!!!

Carol Rose

Beautiful outdoor area. Gluten free options as well. Tasty drink. Anthony was our server and he actually made us feel… at Home!

Brittany

The food is so good and they can accommodate gluten free diets.

Eva Komarkova

I didn't know that I have such a good restaurant right behind the corner! It's great because you can come here as vegan or non vegan together and both have great meal. The vegan menu is so good, so you can eat regular diet and order it without disappointment! My not vegan husband loved the vegan Korean chicken taco. I loved the vegan Baja fish taco so much. The cauliflower taco was also surprisingly full of flavor, I loved the cabbage and tahini dressing. The side of refried beans was fresh and delicious. My husband loved his mole enchilada, and we both loved the vegan Caesar salad. In the end we got also a yummy vegan dessert, which was gluten-free bread pudding with coffee ice cream! It was all so good! We are coming back! The staff is extraordinary nice and attentive. To everyone who is reading these reviews about high prices, I am adding a picture of our receipt...

Jessica Knowlden

Obsessed with this spot. The energy and atmosphere are super cool, a hidden gem for sure. Staff was incredibly kind and our server was the best, knowledgeable about all the items on the menu, and also helped with gluten free dishes. We tried the red salsa, yellowtail ceviche, scallop dish, Quesadillas and flautas which were all delicious. Drinks were also really tasty. Would love to come back soon! Thank you 😊

Our group of 7 stopped in here after a grueling day at Universal. The wait for a table took a long time, but we were patient and boy was it worth it! 3 hungry kids and 4 exhausted adults were all pleased as punch with our meals. My husband and I are gluten intolerant and the server was very confident in knowing what would work to be GF. The roasted balsamic Brussels sprouts were delicious! They have GF penne pasta as a substitute for most of their dishes and the chicken picatta I had was flavorful and plentiful!! Everyone cleared their plates and were more than happy. Shout out to our hard working server - a Monday crew during a holiday rush time caused delays but he was attentive despite serving 4 big groups.

Cute and vintage on the inside, too nice though to not sit on the sidewalk patio. Prices are steeper than indicated--$$-$$$. So much gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan selection though, and safely labeled. As in they seem to really understand cross contamination and not joist call something GF even though it then goes in the frier. Anyway, all day breakfast with both the enchiladas and juevos rancheros we're truly out of this world. The sauces, the fresh guac, cilantro, came out hot and so visually appealing I didn't stop to take a photo. Shakes were unbelievably creamy. Kids had what looked like the best burgers of their lives on fresh toasted rolls, thick melty cheese, and lacy crisp edges on the beef. The onion rings looked, sounded, and smelled amazing but I didn't eat one... gluten. Would absolutely come back, highly recommended!

Good gluten free options you can get pancakes or sub for gluten free toast. We had the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious!

Alexa Andraos

Delicious! They had a lot of gluten free options which was great. The gluten free orange chicken is amazing! Will definitely be back

Brooke Collins

Came in after a tattoo session on a Tuesday later in the evening and was starving! I'm very picky and to top it off I have a gluten allergy so finding a place to eat and enjoy is not always the easiest. I saw the pictures of this restaurant food online and could tell they knew and took care in what they made, however I was still shocked at how good their food was. The chicken biryani and their mint chutney was amazing. Quality, effort, flavor and tradition was all exhibited in the dish I had.

Jenny Chuang

My friend can't eat gluten because of her celiac disease, which makes it a bit hard to find a place that have alterative. This place that I found by surprised actually have gluten free tator tots, bread, and many dishes can be altered without taking out a major component, which is amazing! Also to find options that are vegetarian and vegan-friendly is nice. I love the option of indoor and outdoor seating! Not to mention, the bathroom - is beautiful! There are a lot of options on the menu and the food is pretty good, even the ones with alternative ingredients tasted delicious! The only issues is trying to find parking, however there is a paid lot next to the restaurant that cost about 0.75 cent every 30 minutes. Parking seems strict as there is a parking meter guy standing by the meters and getting ready to write tickets. Would come back again! Waitresses and waiters are super nice and friendly!

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue regarding a recent order I placed for delivery from your restaurant. I have celiac disease and specifically marked all my food items as gluten-free when ordering. Unfortunately, I was gluttened by the sauce accompanying the spring rolls, and I am now concerned about the pho as well. Although I didn’t consume all of it, I discarded the rest of my meal, fearing that it would make me ill. I want to emphasize how important it is for your staff to be fully educated on handling gluten-free orders, as this is a significant health risk for individuals with celiac disease. The woman I spoke with on the phone was kind, empathetic, and reassured me that she would confirm the details, but this situation should not have occurred. While I understand that mistakes can happen, this incident is a matter of negligence, and your restaurant could be liable if others are affected in the same way. I appreciate that DoorDash refunded me for the meal, but should I require medical treatment, I will need to send you the bill. I urge you to take this matter seriously and ensure that all your cooks and servers are properly educated on food allergies and autoimmune conditions. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I hope this can be addressed so it doesn’t happen again in the future. Sincerely, Lauren B.

Really nice place with a cute outdoor garden. Unfortunately I came here while it was raining in LA (what are the chances of that, right?!) Regardless I had a great time and really enjoyed their coffee. They do have wifi and a nice atmosphere. I had a breakfast burrito that had plant based sausage and I was pretty pleasantly surprised by that. They also had fresh pastries and some gluten free options. Overall definitely will come here again and it has a good vibe.

Lemon Grove showcases Chef Vigneron’s. We had a great evening under the beautiful starts of Hollywood. This rooftop restaurant boasts vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. There is a live DJ playing lively music. There are three sections to this restaurant which sits rooftop of the Aster hotel. There is the dining section and a private area for large groups. The Bar area and lounge area. There are great views throughout the restaurant of the Hollywood sign, Hollywood hills, and Capitol tower records. This is a relaxing, trendy restaurant. Our food came hot and fast! Super tasty! Our server was really awesome (sorry I forgot her name). She checked on our table often to ensure we had what we needed. After dinner we moved over to the lounge area and enjoyed the lounge area with fireplace and a beautiful sunset view. The cocktails are delicious and not watered down.

Adrianna Garza

Not just for bread lovers! Many gluten free accommodations available. Maybe less for hardcore celiacs, but the gf bun burger is excellent. Our excellent server, Matthew, brought me a GF brownie so I didn’t feel left out while the party enjoyed their cinnamon roll. The pecan cold brew was the perfect accompaniment. Love this place will be back again and again.

Jenni Stein

My coworker and I loved the brunch experience here! I was pleasantly surprised by their gluten free bread, it was delicious, as was the omelet

Awesome staff, good food, and good Gluten free options. Super reasonable prices too. We loved our time at Palermo’s and will be back ASAP!

Amanda Madany

All Time is one of my all time favorite spots in Los Feliz, see what I did there? ;) I've only been to All Time for breakfast and love their crispy rice. They have plenty of gluten free options. Their bakery even has a gluten free mochi pastry. The interior of All Time is so cute and great after a hike or for a date.

I had a little spare time on a work trip and popped into Atrium on the recommendation of a friend. I found the atmosphere delightful, the team was able to accommodate my dietary restrictions (gluten allergy and temporarily vegetarian) without hesitation, and my cocktails just about knocked my socks off. The staff was was friendly, and made sure I was taken care of, the food was tasty, and I found the appearance of the joint to be quite the delight. Given the hopping neighborhood, I would absolutely recommend this as as a stop on a date night, but it’s also worth the trip on its own. Next time I can’t wait to try a few more cocktails next time I’m in town. Update: I snuck over again for a meat based dish now they my meat restrictions have lifted and the staff absolutely accommodated my needs. Big thanks to the manager for working with the kitchen team to ensure my half chicken was prepared safely, the kitchen team for going out of their way to accommodate me, and bar team for making some tasty mocktails. Exactly what I needed after a weekend of wedding revelry.

Monica Bacca

Absolutely delicious food for the gluten sensitive. No reactions were had!

R Q

Server reported no gluten free options except maybe salad. Reported items from the grill are not guaranteed gf.

Kiryl

Excellent place for a healthy breakfast. Gluten free options available.

Sarah Zeriu

5/5 for everything! We had the best time while dining at KA’TEEN! As a celiac disease sufferer, I was taken very seriously regarding my strict gluten free dietary restriction. Literally had zero anxiety eating there. Amazing staff, atmosphere and food. The Queso Fundido & Chicken Asada? Out of this world❤️Amazing. Will return next time I’m in LA!

Michael

Food was delicious, very friendly employees. They have gluten free pizza and pasta. I’ll definitely coming back. My new favorite restaurant in town.

Zeth Lewis

India's Tandoori also caters to those with dietary restrictions offering a range of gluten-free and vegan options. It's a restaurant that truly caters to everyone's needs and preferences.

Bee Provencher

Felisa Zhang

Vegan Thai food. Lots of gluten free choices. Super fast service.

Bella Bolster

Great food and gluten free options!!

Julia Mosher

All around amazing experience from the drinks to the food to the attentive staff. I am gluten free and they were incredibly accommodating with many of the dishes even giving me my own separate servings on the side that was prepared on separate cutting boards and using different knives.

Gary Bunting

Andrew Chauvin

What a gem this place is! We went in for dinner before a show and had such a good time. With such a creative menu, we sampled the tostadas, quesadilla, daily vegetable, soup, and red sangria. Everything was delicious and wholly unique. The service was as good as the food. Everyone was welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. The staff easily guides us through the many gluten-free options. If you're visiting Hollywood, definitely stop in for a great meal at reasonable prices!
