My croissant loving son was diagnosed with celiac disease in September. I almost cried today watching his happiness as he ate a chocolate croissant at Mariposa’s. 💚

I brought a group of 7 others here last week as we were in town for meetings and one of our members is celiac, I saw the reviews of great food but I'm thinking.. it's all GF how good can it be... AMAZING AMAZING WOW! I was in San Fran for 7 days and hands down the best meal, best service, atmosphere, just hands down AWESOME! Samie was our server and she was incredible as well as management & staff of Firefly - GO ! Eat ! ENJOY! David Nye

Best mexican food in San Francisco!!! <3

Their Gluten-free fried chicken was great! Not dry and had a great texture.

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 friend and I arrived shortly after Dragon Well opened and were warmly greeted by the owner, Christina. The restaurant was already full, so we wandered around the neighborhood for 15 minutes before returning and getting promptly seated. We ordered off the gluten-free menu, and Evan helped narrow our choices to the GF Scallops, Prawns, and Calamari in “Bird’s Nest.” We also got the GF Vegetable Fried Rice. Both dishes were just fantastic - well seasoned, and the seafood was cooked to perfection! The potato “bird’s nest” was delicate and added the perfect crunch, and the calamari was incredibly tender. We were delighted to find the iced teas we ordered had lychees in them. On our way out, Alex thanked us for coming and wished us well. I’m Chinese and am very picky about Chinese food, and it was legit. Add the stellar service and warm vibe, and Dragon Well is a definite winner in my book. I can’t wait to come back.

Awesome place to eat first time here in San Francisco, and being a gluten free celiac, they did the best gluten free double burger with lettuce buns I have ever had. Their fryer is also GF and the potatoes are cut on site.

John Hoeglund

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

Jessica Wilmer

We went for happy hour and are immediately obsessed. $6 house margarita, fantastic. $3 street tacos, delicious. They have a community table, beautiful patio, nice music. Menu specifies dairy free, vegetarian option, gluten free, and spicy.

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!

Daphne Bliss-Rosval

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 :)

Jeshka BodyArt

Incredible bowl of noodles! I have a gluten-free diet so it can be hard to find good pho/ramen. And the photo speaks for itself on how much I liked my bowl of rice noodles! Perfectly cooked and seasoned meat, rich broth, and just the right amount. I loved having the extras on the side so that I could personalize the flavoring. As for the atmosphere, I loved the Disco music softly playing but the chairs were a little uncomfortable.

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.

Emily Ou

Food was ok, came out quickly and service was great but it was busy and relatively loud while we were dining. The ramen was the most disappointing to me- noodles seemed borderline overcooked and the broth was just salty but with little actual flavour. I found it to be some of the more blah vegan dishes I’ve had in a while. It was either super spicy or just tasted like rice. The vegan cream cheese seemed a little off to be honest but that’s on me for not saying anything. I will say they’re great at accommodating allergies as I’ve heard they’ve accommodated gluten free + avocado allergy.

Setu Upadhya

I'm a big fan of moonbowls! -Excellent taste! I had the tofu bowl and really enjoyed the various toppings (you get upto 5). My favorites: fresno chiles, roasted corn, citrus kale. -Fast delivery, everything was very fresh -Vegans, vegetarians and gluten free people can easily order. Love that the menu is so nicely labeled. -Other favorites: The various sauces (ginger-soy and creamy sesame), and sweet potato dumplings

Malin Schn

Absolutely delicious gluten-free arepas! Felt completely safe even with celiac disease.

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.

Jay Tkachuk

A wonderful gem of a place in Little Italy. A family business, with the proprietors giving you a taste of real Italian humor should you give them an opening (try ordering a dry cappuccino, lol). It’s rather small and fills up fast, so plan for waiting if you’re heading there for dinner. Worth it, though. We had the Frutti de Mare Linguini (special), Lobster Ravioli and Funghi & Salsiccia pizza. They have gluten free options. Highly recommend!

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).

Ellen K

Obsessed with this place! Can't believe we now live 2 minutes walk from it. Their thom kha soup is so delicious and creamy, my wife is addicted to it. Love that they have a variety of Thai and Laotian style dishes, which you don't find often. Their noodles are such glutenous goodness, really hits the spot when you want some comfort food.

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!

Ornella Cedeno

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

Emily Boies

Lots of gluten free options

Danielle

Me & my girlfriend had the loveliest dinner here. I found this place because they have gluten free pasta on the menu. They offer gluten free garlic fettuccine, which I appreciated so much because I cannot have gluten & have missed eating Italian food. I believe it is made in house. Our waiter was very personable & took my diet very seriously, even telling me what I can & cannot have. We had a caesar salad to start. I loved that they came to the table & freshly grated cheese & pepper. My scallops were cooked perfectly (it is so hard to find perfect scallops) & my girlfriend was impressed with her penne vodka & garlic fries. The only thing I would improve is my pasta was a little bit too al dente - probably needed another minute in the water because it was stiff. Otherwise my meal was amazing. Dessert was out of this world. We finished off with espresso & the chocolate raspberry mousse. I felt nostalgic & a bit emotional because I used to eat at restaurants like this all the time with my family, but have been unable to due to my unfortunate gluten free diet. The check came & I was surprised at how affordable it was. All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you Fino!

Our post-wedding meal was excellent. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious as well. We mentioned our dietary restrictions (gluten, dairy) and our waiter, Sean, and the other staff were all very accommodating. The place was packed at 8pm on a Thursday so definitely recommend a reservation a few weeks out, but overall it was an excellent dining experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality dinner. Hopefully we’ll be back again soon!

Adriana

The coffee is not very good. I liked that there is gluten free bread

Claire Bonnepart

Such a cute market with tons of fresh, local veggies, cheese, honey, nuts, empanadas(not gluten free), clam chowder, carnitas, roasted chicken, fresh squeezed juices and beautiful flowers. There are not many GF bake good options here sadly.. Starting from Saturday morning from at 9 am. till about 2pm. One vendor has the biggest carrots, beets and turnips I’ve ever seen! Parking is tough! Walk if possible..

Emily Boies

Gluten free buns

christina ellerby

sweet and sour chicken

Matthew Mueller

Quality Indian grub, great GF naan, friendly service

Joni Shimabukuro

This is a little hidden gem in North Beach. There are cooked and raw vegan and gluten free options. We ordered the raw sampler to share. It is very filling. The rye bread for the Rueben was so good! And loved the kale chips. Also their n/a cocktails are sophisticated – not mixed juices with a splash of club soda. Our server was super friendly! Please support these all vegan establishments!

Claire Hunter

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

unify dem

Amazing food, fully gluten free menu!! If they could add cider or hard kombucha to the menu, then this spot would be 10/10 perfect!

Ceboh Ndlovu

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!

Reba Hayes

Love that they have gluten free options that actually taste good and vegan milkshakes! Great food and really good service.

I recently visited this delightful little taco haven nestled in the heart of Castro, San Francisco, and I'm thrilled to share my experience. 'Taco Cosy' truly lives up to its name, providing a warm, intimate atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying mouth-watering tacos. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by friendly and attentive staff members who are genuinely passionate about making your experience memorable. The décor is vibrant and colorful, showcasing traditional Mexican art and design, which adds to the overall charm and authenticity of the place. The menu offers a diverse selection of unique and delicious taco options, including vegan and gluten-free choices. I ordered the Al Pastor Tacos and was amazed by the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The marinated pork was tender and juicy, the pineapple added a hint of sweetness, and the homemade salsa brought a pleasant kick to each bite. My friends tried the Baja Fish Tacos and the Mushroom Asada Tacos, and both dishes received rave reviews. To top off the meal, we couldn't resist indulging in some freshly made churros with a velvety chocolate dipping sauce - the perfect ending to our taco feast. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes and the high-quality ingredients used. This spot may be small, but it packs a big punch in terms of flavor and ambiance. If you find yourself in the Castro area and are craving some incredible tacos, don't hesitate to stop by Taco Cosy. It's a must-try for taco enthusiasts and anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in San Francisco. You won't be disappointed!

Highly recommend the halibut, shrimp, and crab, out of this world. One of the nicest restaurants I've ever been to. Beautiful views, right on the water. Complimentary valet service was excellent. Wait staff were kind and knowledgable; my fiancé can't have gluten or dairy and they expertly and carefully accomodated us. Will come again.

Matt Nguyen

With the wife being gluten intolerant, it’s been difficult finding a spot to enjoy without the worry. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable with our concerns. The food was delicious! Extra crispy wings and his sauces were on point. I particularly loved the Tropical Heat and spicy buffalo! You will not be disappointed eating here. We’ll definitely be back if we’re ever in town again!

Brian Gerrity

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

Shannon McIntosh

Love the fennel salad with the fried tofu. Staff was friendly and made sure to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I don't remember seeing the vegan or gluten free options on the online menu but in stores they have both.

Alysha Coughler

Staff was welcoming and very helpful choosing what to get in our bowls. Always excited to find a 100% gluten free spot as someone with celiac disease. Spacious seating and very clean. Food was tasty, filling and fresh. Highly recommend for a healthy tasty quick meal!

Emery Dahl

Great gluten free accommodations!
