Top 24 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Oceanside

Great friendly restaurant. Wished had more celiac friendly items on the menu but overall accommodated the gluten restriction. Food 10/10.

Love the texture of these croissant donuts-- more tooth than an ordinary donut but still delicate. I really liked the caramel topping. Staff was friendly and answered questions about the flavors and gluten free options.

I went here for coffee and breakfast and wish I would have been able to visit every day of my trip. I ate on the patio and even tho it was kind of chilly out, the heaters made it very comfortable. I looked at a lot of nearby spots and this one stood out as mentioning gluten-free options on their website and also offering gluten-free pancakes. They were delicious, as were the eggs, and the bacon was a hefty serving and cooked to perfection. My hubs joined me late and had the avo edamame toast - it was soooo yummy! The fresh fruit bowl (we were hungry, lol) was a lovely surprise in that it actually had more berries than melon (like most places) and they were fresh. The lattes were amazing, and I loved the variety of flavors and that they had milk alternatives. I had the vanilla bean latte - it’s a pretty simple drink but I’ve found I can tell a lot about how a place does coffee based on their approach to the old standby of vanilla. This one was creamy, delicious, not bitter, not overly sweet, and came with a lovely design in the froth. The place was casual, comfortable, and had a really positive vibe. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

Looking for a place to get coffee? Look no more!! Camp Coffee is amazing, not too sweet and the ingredients taste real! The combos and flavors pair really well together. I’ve worked in the neighborhood two years and tried just about everything on the menu! All fantastic. If you prefer your coffee sweeter, add extra vanilla! they are always welcoming in people in need and never turn them away just because they are homeless. They never judge! They offer the best hospitality you can find at a coffee shop (: They offer vegan and gluten free treats x which are amazing! Cute and stylish merch for everyone. Camp Coffee will be missed when I move. You can bring your doggy! Outside seating with shade too (:

One of our favorite coffee places in North County. The vibe here is super chill and the service is always great. Also love that they have lots of gluten free and vegan treats! Try the pop tarts, they are amazing.

Nothing but good food and great vibes. These guys have a fun shop that is super dog-friendly. Great juice selection. Gluten free options ❤️

Love this place. Quick, tasty and right across the street from the beach. They have great acai bowls and you can get gluten free oats in them. Bacon and eggs is always a good choice, get it in the bowl if you want to save a couple bucks and don’t need hash browns etc

Nice location and good coffee. In oceanside we don't have a shortage of gastro pubs, pizza and coffee. It seems there is a coffee joint every half block. In some cases there are coffee joints right next to coffee joints. Its tough to stand out. While Vigilante does not stant out it has a very nice space and a good small menu. They also have a couple of gluten free treats. There is a good bit of seating and they let dogs in. They have some outside seating but there was someone smoking there when I visited which was a bummer. Still I'd go to here over many local options.

My wife and I were out in Ocean Side looking for a sit and a sandwich when Rye’s and Grind came up in our search. Even though their menu didn’t explicitly state that they had a gluten free option, we opted to give them a call. The staff informed us they could accommodate my dietary restrictions and would do their best to take extra precautions to prevent cross contamination on their cook top. My wife ordered a pastrami sandwich while I opted for the Gluten Free Motley Loo. Both sandwiches were extremely well appointed with some of the tastiest pastrami I’ve had this side of the Mississippi. The staff informed me that though the latkes were made without gluten, their fryers were a cross contamination risk, so their steak fries, tots, latkes, and rosemary home fries would be off limits for me. Thankfully, their coleslaw and potato salad were delightful and rich so I didn’t feel left out of the side order game. My wife reported her latkes were top notch, and they came with all of the condiments you could possibly want including what tasted like homemade salsas. On top of the top notch service and food, the coffee was hot, rich, and bold, which is what we needed on a surprisingly rainy day in Southern California. Everything about my experience with Rye’s and Grind was above and beyond. I cannot commend the staff enough for the compassion, service, and attention the team gave us even at the end of their day. If you’re thinking about going to Rye’s and Grind but can’t make a decision, just go. The team, food, venue, and coffee were all top notch.

Best French toast! Great atmosphere! Staff is friendly and kitchen is fast! Also, they can do most items gluten-free. Gluten-free waffle, pancake, ect but some items will be cross contaminated.

Oceanside California is known for its cafés and it looks like we've got another gem in the rough now opened on S Coast Hwy. High Tide Coffee Co is no opened to the community and they offer a nice variance to the coffee scene in the area. High Tide Coffee Co is located within the RISING CO building complex just off of S Coast Hwy. So make sure you look for that signage. They've got a shared parking lot in the front and street parking available on both side streets. This is good for now, but it MAY pose an issue during busy hours. It's a good thing they are also on DoorDash and take pre-orders online & via call-in. The entire vibe is for their branding is cute and inviting. Their interior is very trendy-earthy and colorful. But one shortcoming is that they have minimal seating options inside. There are only 3 tables. Luckily, their exterior seating has more benches and group-seating options. Their service is fast, friendly, warm and inviting. I love their merchandising with the cute logos. Their menu consists of staple classics like: cold brew, espresso, americano, latté, macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, and mocha. They also have specialty options like: lavender honey, rose cardamom, snickerdoodle, candy orange mocha, chachaccino, matcha chaga, and moon milk. They also have a few teas and hot cocoa. For foods, they have some solid basics like: breakfast burrito, acai bowls, avocado toast, assorted pastries and granola & chia parfait. I especially appreciate that many of their pastries are vegan & gluten-free. I enjoyed my seasonal special drink, the Espresso Paloma and it was a tasty variant to the typical coffee drink. I also enjoyed my snickerdoodle latté. I'd like to make a small note to pet owners: Although there's a notice that they DO NOT ALLOW PETS (only service animals) - this is not strictly enforced : thank goodness. Overall, I like what High Tide Coffee Co is bringing to the area and they provide a nice variation to the 'average café' and they have personality.

This place doesn’t look nice from outside but was an amazing surprise. Service, food and location is awesome. Many gluten free options (healthy ones) and organic and tasty food.

Great place to visit and right off the main street. If you didn't pay attention as we did not, it's slightly set back in a strip of shops right in the corner. Excellent selection of foods and some great pastries -- including Gluten Free and Vegan options. We got the banana cake and it was delicious! They also heated up the croissant for our kiddos. Full complement of breakfast beverages as well as local kombucha.

Wonderful little coffee shop on the way to a beach in Oceanside. There are plus to plug in and work, lovely light beachy atmosphere. Had a salted carmel Latte and gluten free blueberry maple muffin. I loved the muffin. So yummy! My iced Latte was really good too. Two drinks and 1 muffin was just under $20 so very reasonable with the prices. They have outdoor seating too!

Pannikin is a north county staple! The coffee is fantastic & the historic vibes of the properties they operate out of adds so much charm! Please please carry the gluten free pineapple muffins at this location! That’s the one thing missing compared to the Leucadia location.
