Top 31 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Havens to Explore in San Francisco

Note: Only writing this to let the owner know in case they aren't aware of the celiac review apps and the recent change. It's otherwise an excellent place with amazing staff and food, hope that it can get resolved for the celiac community. Something has gone wrong with their sourcing of gluten free ingredients. I have celiac and suddenly after incorporating this restaurant into my diet my blood work numbers have exploded upwards. I track my numbers very closely multiple times a year and I've done a lot of elimination and it points pretty heavily towards this place as being the culprit. This also reflects in the reviews for find me gluten free website where people are getting violent reactions in the last year. Hopefully they eventually figure out where the gluten is coming from so that other celiac individuals and I can go back here again as their food is otherwise very tasty. I would recommend them to redo the testing that they once did in 2019 to figure out where the source of the problem is. Thank you

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.

Meli Sandell

Completely worth the steep walk up a hill. Highly recommend. So many options to choose from

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

Gee Pii

Food was amazing, great service! We had gluten free gnocchi, steak and ossobuco.

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.

Rae Ann Gustafson

The food is delicious, what I can eat. Sadly, they don't offer gluten free bread or pasta. I did order some of their sauce to put on my own gf noodles at home. Quite good!

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.

Alysha Coughler

Super chill place with always tasty dishes! The gluten-free injera was tasty and made it an inclusive meal

Ornella Cedeno

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

Ben

Yum as always. Have gluten free and vegan items. Fast service top

Mary Maas

THE BEST Ramen I've had! Can't wait to go back and try a different one. I had the signature pork, and the pork belly just melts in your mouth....not the broth!. Delicious! Also HUGE selling point, which brought us there was the Gluten Free Ramen!. My kiddo, who is GF said the noodles were just ok, but the rest of the soup was yummy!. Can't find many GF Ramen places so we will definitely be back! The desserts are fun and tasty as well!

Ben Frisanco

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!

Michele Ovalle

I was looking for a bakery with gluten free options and this bakery nailed it! The line moved quickly and parking is convenient. I ordered one of every gluten free option. They were so good that I went back the same day to buy more for the road trip down to SoCal. I’ll be back!

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!

Nathan Elizalde

Really good vibe. Porsche went above and beyond to ensure the allergens were avoided. Though they were busy we did not feel they were irritable or rushing us. The food was fine, but it was everything else that makes this place one you want to visit, especially if you have gluten and soy allergies.

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!

Reba Hayes

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

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!

Palmira Martin

10/10 best lobster roll in town AMAZING gluten free bread <3

Brooklynn Filstrup

celiac friendly, low risk of cross contamination! dedicated gluten free cooking area

Andrew Lutz

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.

K P

Great selection of seafood. Allergy information is readily available including clearly marked gluten free choices on the main menu. Excellent location with a fantastic view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Solid alcoholic drink menu. Prices are reasonable for being not only in San Francisco but located on Pier 39. I've been here twice, and if you decide to get a cocktail I would recommend spending the extra $3-4 to upsize it. You'll get more value that way!

Very accommodating restaurant in town I love the gluten free pancakes!! :)

Mia Cudecki

Highly recommend for people with dietary restrictions. I had a gluten and dairy free pizza and it was great! It's also nice that they're open later than many places in the city.

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!

Ash Bachani

Dedicated fryer & mostly everything is gluten free already!

Alexandra Huides

Super good food, plenty of gluten free and lactose free options! Mahi mahi tacos are excellent!

Mila Lukić

Really tasty vegan food, even my boyfriend who normally doesn’t like vegan food found it tasty and filling! We got a wildseed burger, a watermelon salad, spicy sausage pizza, pasta and really nice drinks. I recommend the tumeric latte and charcoal lemonade :) They offer gluten-free options too, and obviously everything is dairy free as well :) The ambiance is nice and I’d come back again!

chris kolker

Cute small place, recommend checking for reservations first. There were 2 of us and we sat at the bar, it was still great. Great food and service. If gluten free, don’t have nacho chips even though they are corn, fried in oil used for gluten options. Highly recommend chicken tacos!

Jeffrey Fiorino

This place is def good, I got the lamb curry with coconut milk which was a nice touch, and avoiding gluten and diary. The foods was on point . I stopped in real quick to eat at the bar I was craving Indian food, and curry, and this hit the spot. It does get busy though, so for a group make a rsvp.

Alysha Coughler

Staff was excellent! I told them I had celiac disease and they said they could get me almost anything on the menu. Got an Amy’s burger and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!!

Suki Skye

Super fresh and tasty! Our awesome server offered a gluten free menu when I mentioned it, which is amazing.
