Top 12 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Ventura

Came upon this place after fasting and getting blood drawn next door, and I’m so glad I did! I am dairy free and gluten free and I feel like I landed in heaven. Coffee is great, food is great, and service is impeccable. Will definitely be back, and with friends! Hidden gem for sure

Ohhhh, this location is fabulous!! Forget the food, sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the harbor and boats going by. On the subject of food, I only had a coffee and gluten free cookie, but, from what I could see, the breakfast burrito looked like a big seller. Very fast, efficient and very friendly service. All goods are sourced locally. Dog friendly with patio seating as well as nearby picnic tables.

The gluten free options are amazing! They have gluten free biscotti! And the little gluten free donuts are addictive.

This place is great. Stopped in for morning coffee and pastries on a weekend trip. The people working here are kind, the coffee is great and they have gluten free options. It's comfortable, clean and spacious with outdoor seating options. They also have cool merch like beach towels.

Best ice cream joint, but does need a few more dairy free flavors and options due to everybody becoming dairy and gluten-free however amazing chocolate peanut butter, ice cream, and the cutest little McDonald’s birds hopping around outside waiting for you to leave a little bit in the cup. A must try.

We are so glad we found this place via Google when we were visiting the area. They offered avocado toast with bread that was both gluten free and vegan (an exciting win for some with gluten, egg and dairy allergies!). It looked and tasted wonderful. The Açaí bowl and oat milk latte we ordered were also tasty and beautiful, and we loved the location too. Tucked away in a little alley, lots of plants growing overhead and providing the prettiest shade. We will definitely go back if we are ever in this area again.

My favorite coffee house in Ventura. Owners are great and staff are attentive. I swear the person helping me yesterday read my mind and knew exactly what I wanted. And I haven't seen him before so it's not just my usual drink. They also have some protein food options as well as gluten free snack goodies, both sweet and savory ones. They are a well loved fixture and so at peak times there's a line. Just bring a friend to chat with or allow for some mellow, no pressure down time before you enjoy your coffee.

The best coffee in Ventura! Everything here is FANTASTIC— from the matcha latte (with house made vanilla syrup) to their cold brew to their lattes to the baked goods (vegan and gluten free options)… you can’t go wrong!! We are locals who go here at least twice a week and the staff is amazing. They know our names and orders, any complaints about service are seriously mistaken. I miss my weekend matcha whenever we travel. Truly the best of the best! We love the prospect crew!!!!

It has become a habit to come here and get a delicious London fog tea along with a gluten-free muffin. Staff is very friendly

Amazing coffee and people! Beacon is high quality coffee beans, high quality roasting, and high quality brewing. They also offer gluten free treats which are tough to find from Sun Oven bakery. The people are always friendly and fun to talk to! My favorite local spot.
