Top 10 Gluten-Free Cafes to Discover in Downtown Los Angeles

Decent gluten free section. Cakes tasted great, staff really nice. Eat in food served on throw away paper rather than real plates

Great place to come and work, as they have a comfy outside area and WiFi to use. But do expect slow service and high food prices. One thing I like from here is the gluten free pizza.

Stumbled upon this great place early in the morning. Had an amazing GF egg sandwich. The bread tasted home made, which is difficult being gluten free. I will definitely return when in the area again. The coffee was amazing.

This place is great, the staff is always friendly, especially Stephanie! The food is always fresh. They have labels for allergens which makes it easy for me to eat gluten free. Highly recommended for a quick and healthy lunch spot.

Gluten Free chilaquilles! Super tasty.

The lady who took our orders was super nice!! I got a chipotle chicken burrito - 10/10, lumberjack pancakes - 9/10 needs some pepper, and the cheesy egg sandwich - 5/10 they forgot the cheese. I’m traveling with my gran who has quite a few dietary restrictions and while they did make everything gluten free which is great, they did however grease the bread when asked not to and forgot the cheese so it was just egg and bread. Otherwise, I love my food so much and the coffee was great.

I tried a matcha latte and an everything jalapeño cream cheese croissant here--both were delicious. I was especially happy to find that the matcha was unsweetened (which can be hard to find), and you have the option to add a sweetener or omit it entirely. They offer a variety of plant-based milks, and overall, the matcha was very flavorful. The café also had a great selection of pastries, including some vegan and gluten-free options. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made for a positive experience. I visited on a Sunday around 9 AM and there was no line, which was a nice bonus. It's a very modern and small place, but you can sit down outside at the tables provided in the middle of the outdoor area of the shopping center. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to study or work from, but it's perfect for relaxing while enjoying your coffee and pastries. One thing to note is that it can be a bit tricky to find if you're following Google Maps--you'll need to walk down the stairs or take an elevator from street level, as it's located just below a shopping center. Overall, I definitely recommend checking it out.

I live near y and come here for their sourdough loaves and some coffee each week. Great coffee but also great bread. I don't have celiac, I'm not someone who confuses a fructan sensitivity for "gluten sensitivity", but I'm someone who generally doesn't do well with American bread (must be some additive that's used, nowhere else in the world do I have an issue) and generally avoid it. This is the only place, even of bakeries, that I've been too in LA that the bread isn't overly filling and doesn't bloat me/bother me. Really good and also at a good price too (I want to say about $5-6)

Gluten Free treats! Coffee was fire, will be back.

Sandra Felix

I didn't actually eat there because they don't have anything gluten free. They offer you the omelette without toast as their Gluten Free option.
