Top 6 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Mountain View

I love this bakery and the 4.9 star rating is legit. The people are so kind, I believe it’s run by a family. The breads don’t contain sugar or yeast - just good, old sourdough. I’m gluten sensitive, but because this bread doesn’t contain sugar or yeast I can have it (albeit in small amounts). The Focaccia is really good too. I love supporting local businesses and this place is a gem.

Clock Tower has a couple of extra special features that make it worth a look: they have their own roaster, and several of their tasty baked goods are gluten-free.

I guess it has been a couple years since I ate at a Panera Bread, but I remember them being more catering to the people like me who have to eat Gluten Free. There used to be a "secret menu" that you could order from and be assured there was a salad bowl or grain bowl that would be gluten-free and usually dairy-free. Now seems things have changed and I had to really explain to the cashier my dilemma and needing to do a gluten free option. I thought he understood and I was able to get a quinoa/rice bowl with avocado and sauce and topped that with a fried egg. But when my order came, there was a nice bread roll next to it - whomp whomp. I would have thought that the person working at Panera Bread would know that bread contains gluten. I guess not. But meal was good and I didn't get sick - I exchanged the bread for chips when the server brought it out. I'm not sure why I wasn't asked for my choice of a side when I placed my order, but whatever.

Great coffee and friendly staff. The only place in the area where you can enjoy mocha and actually taste the coffee and dark chocolate. They care about the quality and taste adding minimum amount of sugar to any beverage or food items. Neat little place with some vegan and gluten-free treats :)

Great service, they also have a good gluten free breakfast sandwich.

The latte was good, the gluten-free pastry very good. I went for the open mic though, and my name wasn’t called before intermission, when I had to leave. Performances I saw were a very mixed bag—mostly covers with strummed acoustic guitars, and two people doing stand up that I found off putting. A couple musical performances were surprisingly loud (like the co-host’s, who belted out two and a half songs—he gave up during one [Foo Fighters song?] because he couldn’t remember how it went). The sound guy needed to turn it down a bit, I think. It’s a coffee shop open mic. We shouldn’t need to bring earplugs to protect our ears. But they do have a sound guy, which is a plus.
