Top 44 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Pasadena

Kerry Ferreirae

Dedicated gluten free. Great sweets and savories.

Paula Tsoi-A-Sue

Nice update! They added some extra gluten free and vegan options since the last time I was here. It was my first time here for brunch so I tried and loved the breakfast tacos(not vegan). Psyched to come back and try some of the new stuff 😋

Alexandra Ellis

Unbelievably good. After a few years of a gluten allergy, I didn’t think I could eat desserts that are this phenomenal. And vegan, too! The molasses cookie was fantastic but the Samoa cookie pie was incredible (and brought back so many good memories of Girl Scout cookies I can no longer eat!) Will definitely be back and will be recommending widely!

Nicole Johnson

Excellent allergy awareness! Felt so comfortable ordering celiac safe foods. The Mac and cheese was unparalleled!

A TP

A nice place for a complete breakfast but unfortunately, the gluten free options are not for celiacs.

Heather Elliot

The food is great, the people are nice, and I’m definitely coming back! I’m gluten intolerant, so I’m stoked to find a place with quite a few delicious options for me!

Brittany

The food and the overall restaurant is 5 Stars! I think we would have enjoyed ALOT more if we weren't in the middle of a heat wave here in LA because the seating is all outside and it got hot really quickly..but any other time this would be a great option for lunch! We came for brunch and the breakfast options DID NOT disappoint! I got the spinach and feta omelet, and it was so good! Everything is pretty much priced close to $20 a plate, but the food is worth it, and the portions are generous. I saw a lot of people getting the breakfast burrito, so it must be one of the more popular menu items. There's alot of parking behind the building. Also many gluten free options.

And I appreciate it when someone makes food for me. There are different situations when you may feel thankful for the food and want to express gratitude. Dear Chef, I want to thank you for the beautiful, healthy, gourmet meal that was provided to me and my family last week. We greatly appreciate your efforts and kindness. It has been so helpful and has meant so much to our entire family. All the best and Blessings to all*+** This plate or meal it's not in the menu. Portobello Mushrooms. Garlic butter, Parsley, cherry tomatoes, arugula, baked potato, balsamic reduction, asparagus, mushrooms,fyh cheese, gluten free. 💯💕👍

Easy Sunday Club (Cathy Zhang)

Had lunch here for the first time. I like the variety of veggie options, gluten free friendly selections, and customer service. Food arrived promptly. Ashley was friendly and helpful to us. 5 star for service, 3 for food because the food seems too heavy for the healthy options, way too much sauce and dressing for my preference compared to True Food Kitchen.

Tatiana Panovich

Best Vegan food in Pasadena!!! This place is so lovely and and the staff is so kind. They even hosted our rehearsal dinner some months back and I could not be happier with how everything turned out! They go above and beyond for their customers🙏✨ I love the lemonade, the caesar salad, really everything top to bottom. The desserts are SO awesome too and are *all* gluten free! The food is always fresh and appetizing. (Never too greasy like some vegan places!) You can come here time and again and know you are going to be satisfied. Highly recommend 💫🙌

Clean, pleasant environment, good gluten free breakfast options.

Love the gluten free Godiva chocolate cheesecake since I have a wheat allergy. While it was very busy for dinner, we were seated in a reasonable amount of time and the service was decent. Food was good and I have eaten at this location multiple times without getting sick from cross contamination with wheat. Gluten free menu items are marked clearly on menu.

Rebecca Reckers

Perfect rooftop lunch. Great vegan and gluten-free options. Such relaxing seats. Great food and great service.

Coco Lopez

Excellent food, service, and variety. Great for celiacs as most items are gluten free. The felafel is amazing and the Lule kebab is so tasty. Babaganouch and hummus were on point. Loved it

Revolution M7

Excellent service by staff . Unfortunately tonight it was a bit sad. I Went tonight for a dinner. 3rd time coming here for rep dinners. I have a gluten allergy and was not served any appetizer and was not offered anything while I waited for the salad. I'm aware there are set courses but other restaurants kindly make gluten alternative appetizers. Instead of starving guests until the salad and entree are ready. I ordered a cranberry juice and was served 95% water and 5% juice. Tasted like someone's leftover water. Quite gross but decided to just skip and have a cup of tea they of course have no honey. I've had a better experience before so I was quite sorry to see the restaurant offerings are not what they used to be.

Katy T

Honestly, it's one of the few Italian restaurants that knows how to cook gluten free pasta well. Worth a visit for that alone.

Tony Rogers

For the health-conscious, Star Leaf is a dream come true. Their menu features a variety of gluten-free, vegan, and paleo options that are as tasty as they are nutritious. It’s rare to find a place that makes healthy eating so indulgent.

Rachel Flynn

Was so excited to discover their brunch menu! I have a gluten allergy and called to find out if they had options. They had sooo many gluten-free options! Many items were GF that were unexpected. Like the friend shrimp (cornstarch)!! My friend and I ordered so much food as it was such a treat to have things that aren’t always GF. Everything was delicious and so were the cocktails. Servers were amazing and knowledgeable about gluten allergies! Thank you!!

Renaissance Marie Austin

Let's just say I did the yummy dance. The fried tofu took me away. The dipping sauce was sensational with every bite. And my gluten free rice noodle soup with wild mushrooms. Unbelievably good. Broth, broth, broth. So aromatic.

Nicholas Recagno

Great brisket and rib. They don't put sugar in the meat other than in their bbq sauce. The nachos and taco soft shells are all blue corn and gluten free, and their cocktails are quite spectacular. I saw one of them come in a chest full of mesquite smoke!! Although the sports bar vibe is not to my taste I can count on the food, drinks, and service to be on point. Can't go wrong with this place for the price, As a side note, I thought the tomahawk was one of the only items to be eye watering expensive. Stay away from that and you and your group will have a great time for the price!

Elizabeth Orrico

Many gluten-free options

I love their Matcha and now I've had their Mocha which is also good. Once I shared their Tahini Brownie because it was gluten free. Good but easy too dense for me. Hit my stomach like a brick. I wish there were other options. Why 4 stars if everything is good because it is expensive and small. For the price it should be better or maybe a little bit bigger. I do like that they have outdoor seating because during Covid it's nice to be able to have coffee with a friend and stay on one place.

Natasha Moskow

Yummy. Has a gluten free quiche. Serves coffee and alcohol.

Vanessa Wade

Only reason for the 4 stars is because $23 for a gluten free breakfast burrito is really not worth it..I've been wanting to try forever, and decided today's the day. Now don't get me wrong , the taste is immaculate, and to be able to go somewhere and get a gluten free burrito is amazing. Maybe for the price if it were bigger maybe would be ok .The burrito is tiny , and I don't even eat alot

Sophia Mitchell

A little expensive but the food is healthy and delicious. No problem eating here gluten free (Celiac disease). I like that the menu changes periodically

Lori Martin

Christian Hericks

A neat little coffee shop. Some may consider it a bit 'hipster' for their focus on the current health fads (gluten free, soy, vegan options). The place was full at 10am,almost overcrowded. There is however, a generous amount of seating for the size of the joint. All drink and food prices were a bit steep, but quality matched the price. My only complaint is that the floor was rather dirty for a coffee joint... They did have simple concrete flooring so it wasn't a big deal, it just seemed odd that there was so much debris for the style of the joint and food/drink options.

We were there for breakfast. Simply fantastic 🤩😋. The wait was worth it again. Since I can't eat bread because of my celiac disease, I was given a fruit bowl for it. I found it very attentive.

We have been fans of Little Flower for years and couldn’t imagine anyone else doing the desserts and cake for our wedding. We had a dessert bar for our guests and a smaller, two-tier personal cake just for us as the bride and groom. We met with Stephanie at the Little Flower location and got to sample the cookies and other desserts that we wanted. She provided great ideas of a variety of types of desserts (gluten free, chocolate, fruit, etc.) for the dessert bar. We worked directly with May to create a custom two-tier cake (see photo) with whatever flavor combinations we wanted and she utilized our colors and design to create a beautifully elegant cake. Not only did it look amazing, but tasted fresh and delicious as well as all of our desserts. Their prices were very reasonable for a 100-person wedding and I definitely would recommend using them for any type of event.

Marina

So yummy! Unique Chinese food. Hong Kong and Singapore-based. Able to do gluten-free for some items. Check out this gem.

Allen Villarreal

Very good place to eat.. Has a lot of gluten free options. The staff is incredibly nice and the food is excellent.. Highly recommend this place to eat.

Serena Kim

I love gluten free options they have. Flavorful and delicious! Easy parking, servers are kind and I like the vibe. Tom Kha shrimp and chicken pad thai were so good. Big portions, too.

Barry Allen

First time in a long time and it is still excellent. Pauline had a gluten free minestrone and a gluten free pasta carbonara.

HHH Fdz

Bartender was very knowledgeable of drinks which were amazing I recommend the African wine. Food was good had variety of gluten free options ( butternut squash soup) omg it was heavy Excellent time with friends

Steff M

They have gluten free, dairy free options. Food was great.

Amy Satamian

I don't know how. Haven't left a review. I have been coming here since day one. All there pizzas are bomb. Being gluten tolerant this is the only place I can enjoy a good pizza when that craving hits. They use fresh ingredients, the flour is imported from Italy and the staff is so friendly and nice. If you're use to "American" pizza and you love to add stuff on your pizza and make lots of substitutions , this place is not it for you. Thank you for being down the street from me.

Valentina Proo Garcia

Best Vanilla Bean Latte I've ever had! 😋 Perfection: proportion of sweet to coffee flavor was spot on! "The Favorite" is definitely my favorite - egg, bacon, avocado, tomato and red onions - and I asked for it in a gluten-free tortilla. Yum! All the staff are friendly and professional! Establishment is very clean with several tables & chairs. My new favorite coffee shop!

Toby Ameson

Beautiful, royal- style decor (felt like I was in the Beast's castle from Beauty and the Beast), plush comfy seating, top-notch Frech food with Gluten Free options (best pre-ordered with reservations) and European style high tea available. Pricey but excellent food. Service is included in the bill. There was also a Spanish guitar player playing gorgeous arrangements of famous songs from every era in a pleasant and quiet way.

Steve Rose

Waitstaff are very knowledgeable. Miguel was amazing in regards to helping a friend with celiac to select a gluten free meal. We will continue to be back to Mijares.

Johnny Wang

"Welcome home!" "What? Oh. Oh, I get it. That's kinda weird." My first thought, upon being greeted by the staff at HBB. And certainly not the last time I thought that, as my friend and I hung out for a bit, seeing other people come and go, being seen off with, "come home again!" Strange, no matter how many times I heard it, but that bubbly, exuberant behavior was demonstrative of one of the awesome things about HBB: the staff here is REALLY, REALLY nice. And genuinely so! It's not often that I call out service, but it's also not every day that I just hang out for half an hour chatting with staff, especially when I really need to run. "But what about the drinks?!," you ask! "Fantastic!," I say! While I only tried a bit of my friend's almond "milk" tea with boba, I can say that it was probably one of the best-cooked boba I've had in recent recollection - granted, I haven't ordered boba in a while, so... as for the tea itself, if you've ever tried almond tofu dessert, you'll know exactly what it tasted like. I myself ordered one of their chocolate iced signature coffees, which was equally fabulous, and also insanely strong: so much so that my body actually was not too happy about the caffeine intake, but that's an unrelated matter. The drink itself was great, and very similar to a cold chocolate milk. Both drinks fell a little on the sweeter side, but not unbearably so. And, a key point is that they don't use real milk: their whole thing is dairy, gluten free, so their "milk" is actually made out of palm seed, I believe, and sweetened with raw and brown sugar. Worth a try! ***Accessibility Info*** Venue - Seating is a bit limited, with a single regular height long table. All the others were bar counter height, which is fine for holding your drinks, but not ideal if you're there to do some work (they have outlets), or chatting with someone who isn't eye level. Bathroom - Didn't check them out.

Great gluten free cupcake!

Alisa Buchanan

No gluten-free menu, but many items can be modified to be gluten-free. The food and service were great! We were a larger group seated upstairs. The music was a bit too loud, which made conversation difficult.
