Top 48 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in San Francisco

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

Best mexican food in San Francisco!!! <3

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.

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

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!

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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.

Jeff Lin

Great food and tons of gluten-free options for people with Celiac.

Noah Perdue

AMAZING service! Also the best gluten-free pancake I've ever had!! Maybe the only one I've ever had! And those ladies RUN that place. Five stars!

Gemma Boothroyd

Damnnn this place is good. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and fresh just by looking at them. I got the porridge which is gluten free, and it did not disappoint. Was my first time having a savoury porridge, and I’m glad I tried it here! Not quite as flavourful as I’d expected, but I will absolutely be coming back to try the sweet version of the porridge too 😊

Rae Ann Gustafson

The food is delicious, what I can eat. Sadly, they don't offer gluten free bread or pasta. I did order some of their sauce to put on my own gf noodles at home. Quite good!

Nancy Collins

Love this gluten free menu.

Claire Bonnepart

This place is clean, staff are friendly and the food was tasty! Gluten free bread and vegan options available. I ordered the tofu scramble and added a side of chicken apple sausage ($7) a bit pricey .. but I’d definitely go back to hang out in the outdoor patio area for brunch again.

Melissa Hill

Great board game cafe in SF. Loved that their entire menu is gluten free as someone with Celiac. I had no reaction from the food. I had the Japanese fried chicken sandwich; the chicken and slaw were delicious and flavorful but the waffle had no flavor and kind of felt like just extra breading/carbs. Great selection of board games and no maximum time limit (just a $7 entry fee).

Manuela Gigli

But how is it possible that a place like this, certainly not cheap, doesn't have gluten free chips??? But does a fryer cost that much??? SHAMEFUL!

Alysha Coughler

Super chill place with always tasty dishes! The gluten-free injera was tasty and made it an inclusive meal

Ornella Cedeno

Amazing experience. The GF options are great and didn’t get sick!

Emily Boies

Lots of gluten free options

Ben

Yum as always. Have gluten free and vegan items. Fast service top

Michele Ovalle

I was looking for a bakery with gluten free options and this bakery nailed it! The line moved quickly and parking is convenient. I ordered one of every gluten free option. They were so good that I went back the same day to buy more for the road trip down to SoCal. I’ll be back!

Can't say enough good things about this place, and it has been a while since I have dined-in at a restaurant and enjoyed it (probably since before the pandemic). Okay, so I am just going to go for it in this review with the intent that the owners see this and know that I recognize all the effort they put into this place to making it amazing. First of all, great staff. I went in with my small (pug) service dog my first time there, and a customer was very upset that I would be dining-in with her. He went on a tirade and stormed off after a staff member let him know that it's legally allowed (seemed like he didn't know about service dog rules and in all fairness, she didn't have her vest on at the time - though I did have it with me). In any case, once I settled in, the same staff member approached me and thanked me for staying in spite of that guy, which I found very cool. The food was excellent and comes out quick!! It's tough to find good vegan food in general AND I'm also gluten free; I was so pleased to see many options for GF as well. This next part is specifically meant for the owners/concept designers of this establishment - I really enjoyed the ample spacious, cozy seating for solo dining (I'm a frequent solo diner) and the streamlined approach to dining. I don't think they offer a traditional sit-down dining experience (I may be wrong though). I like how this place blends self-service with the sit-down atmosphere, it is the first time I have experienced this and I hope more restaurants follow suit. I think the whole having a server take your order, establish a phony rapport in hopes of big tips, then get stressed if a mistake is made, and guest waiting around for the check if it's slammed at a restaurant (traditional sit-down dining experience) needs to die. I was a server for roughly a decade and in all honesty, I think it's awkward for everyone involved and not that fun. The pandemic may have identified this pain point in the restaurant experience across the board and The Rad Radish took notice, well done!! If you are a diner that loves that song-and-dance, you may want to just do take-out from this place, or be brave and try a new (and in my opinion, better) way to dine. Oh, and the prices are VERY reasonable, gotta love that in these trying times!!! Thanks Rad Radish, for being... RAD!!! Will definitely return, keep on kicking ass!!

Really good vibe. Porsche went above and beyond to ensure the allergens were avoided. Though they were busy we did not feel they were irritable or rushing us. The food was fine, but it was everything else that makes this place one you want to visit, especially if you have gluten and soy allergies.

Claire Hunter

Wonderful food. Accommodated 25 person group last minute. Wonderful gluten free options. The owner and staff could not have provided better service.

Scott Allison

Lovely place, a classic bistro atmosphere, with great food and wine. The Marlowe burger is incredible, and it's gluten free without the bun. Honestly the burger I've ever had. Horseradish gives it a special kick!

I visited this place on a Friday morning when it was somewhat busy. I liked that they offer both indoor and outdoor dining options. The menu is extensive, allowing you to mix and match one to three items from each section. For example, you can choose two pancakes or one eggs benedict, making it easy to try a variety of dishes. I ordered one eggs benedict, one gingerbread pancake, and a cappuccino. My friend ordered gluten-free English muffins, which was a nice option to have.The food was great—especially the gingerbread pancake, which had exceptional flavors. However, the coffee was burnt and much too hot. The service follows a European style, which meant a more relaxed pace, but at times it felt a bit inattentive. Overall, the food was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

This place was great, the staff were attentive and kind. I ordered Seafood Fettuccine and it was amazing. My boyfriend is gluten free and he was catered for too!

Palmira Martin

10/10 best lobster roll in town AMAZING gluten free bread <3

Geoff Brown

Great gluten free galettes!

K P

Great selection of seafood. Allergy information is readily available including clearly marked gluten free choices on the main menu. Excellent location with a fantastic view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Solid alcoholic drink menu. Prices are reasonable for being not only in San Francisco but located on Pier 39. I've been here twice, and if you decide to get a cocktail I would recommend spending the extra $3-4 to upsize it. You'll get more value that way!

Very accommodating restaurant in town I love the gluten free pancakes!! :)

Palmira Martin

They truly are gluten free I’ve been there twice on this trip!

Alex White

Lots of options marked Gf on the menu

Carla Pinzón Gaytán

I didn’t dine here but I called to ask if celiac friendly (it is not). GF noodles and broth but they use the same water for the GF and non GF noodles.

Sam Buchl

The gluten-free Acai waffle and Burmosa with corn tortilla were delicious! Wonderful service!

Staci Kavanagh

Great place with fresh food that can accommodate everyone's needs; vegan, gluten free, dairy free etc..

Brian Gerrity

Amazing spot. Great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Excellent gluten free pizza and pasta as well.

Jinesh Jain

The drink "Fool me twice" was just something else!! Simply brilliant. And the gluten free pizza crust is delicious! Can't wait to come back!

Gina Leguria

Found this place from a search for gluten free pasta. Wow, what an amazing meal. My husband was impressed and he grew up on homemade Italian food. We have never found a restaurant that could rival his Mom’s cooking, but we Roma Antica is it! The special Risotto and Short Ribs was perfect and gluten free to boot. I enjoyed every bite of my Gnocchi with Sorrentina sauce (creamy tomato with cheese). Even the roasted Brussels sprouts were delish. Not to mention the mini rice balls, just like Nonna’s. We were stuffed and took the crime brûlée cheesecake to go. The staff was so friendly and chattering in Italian. It reminded us of the cafés in Europe. We can’t wait to return.

Really tasty vegan food, even my boyfriend who normally doesn’t like vegan food found it tasty and filling! We got a wildseed burger, a watermelon salad, spicy sausage pizza, pasta and really nice drinks. I recommend the tumeric latte and charcoal lemonade :) They offer gluten-free options too, and obviously everything is dairy free as well :) The ambiance is nice and I’d come back again!

Lillian Sultan

This has become my favorite restaurant for ordering in dinner in SF. I’m vegetarian and really appreciate how many options they have, and how delicious each one is! I can taste the layers of flavors and spices, and it’s so yum :P I can tell the food is made with love. Also really appreciate that each dish is clearly marked as vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and even organic!

B. Feingold

We were visiting and had a wonderful meal here. They were able to tell me what gluten free options were available. Such a treat!

Violet Cooks

I saw this place on TikTok and went for lunch with girlfriends. Such a great healthy spot, fantastic place to grab lunch if you’re shopping on Fillmore. Really good unique cocktails and delicious salads! Super accommodating of gluten free as well
