Top 50 Gluten-Free Delivery Spots to Enjoy in La Mesa

Domi Policastro

Always delicious, generous portions- can never go wrong with Swami’s! My favorite item is the ABC omelette. Avocado, crispy bacon, cheese. So good. They also have lots of gluten free and vegetarian options which is great. Their gluten free pancakes are amazing!

Kristin Miyashiro

Their gluten free scones and butter selection are the best I’ve ever had. Friends who have gotten the non gluten free one say it’s pretty similar and actually liked the gluten free one better! Love the coffee art and the little spark of joy notes too.

Tekla Seffron

Very knowledgeable on celiac

The gluten free options seem to have dwindled but the produce here is wonderful. The staff is kind although sometimes oblivious to customers as they become engrossed in job tasks. Over all a great place to shop, I just wish they would bring in more food for those with dietary restrictions

Natalie C

It’s clean and like any other sprouts but the only reason I gave 4 stars is because I have celiac and they didn’t seem to have many gf options. The one brand of gf bread they had was not good. They did have gf pizzas.

Angela Clark

My girlfriend and I came here for our birthdays. I was very appreciative of the gluten-free items. They were extremely delicious and I found out they make everything fresh daily. I would definitely go back again.

Sharla Mandere

Every time we go in everyone is always happy and really nice. We get great service. It’s a favorite with the kids and their friends. Good gluten free options as well.

Miranda Love

Patient with my toddler, the best gluten free pizza in SoCal - plus the gf blueberry pancakes. Omg!!!! I’ve been eating here for years and happily will return.

Sarah Twamley

Warm and inviting. Buzzing with people from the community. Friendly dogs on the patio, service dogs only inside please. Plated meals, bakery cabinet, and creative coffees. Two vegan and gluten-free baked goods thebdaybI visited, and the GF pumpkin scone was not dry! A place to work, read, or socialize!

Menachem Meller

Very nice gluten free dough, salads are delicious

Kelly Miller

Came here for the gluten-free French toast in a waffle. They did not have that, so I got regular gf french toast. It was dense, heavy, and cinnamon raisin bread (not advertised as such) but good. I ate outside, and there were no condiments at my table, so my eggs were real plane. I also got a Mexican mocha that was good. The mug was ridiculously big, so I'd ask for it in a togo cup next time. They do have gf pancakes and waffles. It is a counter order type of place, but they do bring it to your table. Service was very fast and everyone was nice.

Jenny Robinson

After following Extraordinary Banana Pudding on social for a while now, finally drove to try it out. So glad I did! They have a wide selection of flavors and some vegan and gluten free options too. I picked up four flavors: red velvet, chocolate chip cookie dough, banana bread and the classic banana pudding. My opinion, go with the classics! So delicious! I loved the classic and the banana bread flavor. The pudding is airy and fluffy, and so flavorful. Hit the spot! Love seeing this local small business thriving.

Melinda C

Great service, delicious food! I got the chicken shawarma plate for takeout. Lots of gluten-free options. It is a casual, clean eatery with fast service. You can tell the staff are passionate about their food and customer service.

Kelly Miller

I am so sad. I wanted to love this place. I skipped dinner last night and partied, so I was looking forward to a big breakfast. It was big but I didn't even finish it. I ordered the sunshine omelet with gluten-free pancakes and a coffee. They did bring extra gf pancakes because they are smaller than normal ones. I was very excited then the food came out. The pancakes were burnt (the food filter on my camera makes them look dark golden, but they were burnt) and doughy at the same time. They did let me sample the apple syurp, which was good. The omelet was ok but did not live up to the hype. The coffee was watered down. With tip, it was over $30. The staff was amazing. They offer a military discount.

Ate outside. Gluten free on menu. Servers are aware. Many options. Mexican food. Portions can be large. Drinks good. Staff nice. Place pretty clean. Parking can be difficult

Teresa Scott

The service was excellent. They seated us immediately upon walking in. We asked for the outdoor seating. It was roomy but quaint. Our drink order was taken, the margaritas were wonderful, as were the kids' drinks. Menu was clearly marked for gluten-free options and for options needing accommodation to be gluten-free. Waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and didn't miss a beat when asked about gluten-free and criss contamination. Our good was just as spectacular. I recommend the sea bass. My spouse would recommend the sea scallops. So good! Waitress was attentive, not overbearing. Excellent in all areas.

Jan Slack

Great little friendly Italian restaurant. Pizzas are Great! I'm very pleased with the gluten free pizza crust.

Lindsey Lou on the Move

Trip 1 Really dig this place for 1. Good coffee 2. Great vibe, seating, space 3. Clean bathroom 4. Healthy stuff 5. Worldly, unique treats and drinks 6. Gluten free stuff 7. Cool, local art Trip 2 1. Disappointed by the perpetuation of unnecessary waste .... I'm staying for a cup of coffee and yet no inquiry of this and the automatic paper cup rather than a mug a paper bag rather than a plate, plastic bottles for house made juices with no loop in place to reclaim and reuse. Consumption consumption consumption, waste waste waste. Must change. 2. Luke warm coffee, never fixed... 3. uninspired, uninspiring service

Chris Melingonis (The RealtorDad)

Always a great place! Warm, cozy and dim lit it's a nice quiet place to enjoy a good pasta dinner with family. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The Seafood Linguine was great, just wished it was a little more al dente. My daughter loves their sauce and they have a gluten free pasta option for the wife.

Linda Ridge Johnson

This is one of my favorite eateries! The menu has something for every budget, every taste bud, and every food restriction! They even have a gluten-free menu. There is a fresh market inside the redtaurant entrance that sells many of the condiments, seafood items, salads, etc. This is an excellent choice for tourists and neighborhood folks alike. They offer inside and outside seating. Note: You can see the restaurant sign from Highway 8; however, the restaurant itself can not be seen from the highway. It is down in a small valley adjacent to a man-made lake. Try it! You'll like it! ✔️💯🔥✅️

Therese Yang

Gluten free options. Cashier helpful. Quick service.

Carrie

This is probably the best green curry I’ve ever had. Passing through here and found this gem. Super fast takeout service. Ordered green curry tofu lunch special. Amazing depth of flavor. I got 7/10 spicy and it’s perfect. Spicy but not too much so. Food came out super hot. The owner made sure my dish is celiac safe. Highly recommend!

Scott “Rhodeni” Rhodes

Great atmosphere and excellent good. My wife and I went to try it out due to their ability to do gluten free. You know it's good when you are mopping up every last bit of sauce. Small and cozy, I'd recommend for a good couples outing. It gets a little noisy but I think that makes it better. It feels like family eating.

Beth Holub

Everything here is amazing. Lots of gluten free options. The ribs are my favorite, the spices they use are delicious. The owners are also super nice.

Mary Hamer

Great gluten free offerings including gluten free pizzas! Love it!

Natalie C

We were very pleased with the selection. They also had gluten free soy sauce which I need due to celiac. Sushi tasted fresh and Thai tea, so good. Staff is friendly as well.

Selena McMillan

Awesome place! Great service! Lovely patio in back that allowed Poppy dog. Awesome with gluten-free options and answering questions. Had fried ice cream and flan (both gluten-free) and they were delicioso!!

Stephen Fixter

Gluten Free pizza buyers beware! There is a $5 additional charge per pizza, which the company does not mention on its Website. I suggested to the company that they should make customers aware of this BEFORE placing an order, but they were reluctant to do so, they said "everybody" knows this...

Heidi Cole

Very good gluten free pizza! Kiddo got a meatball sub and was very happy with that too!

Megan Greer

We loved the food and service! The food was fresh and made with care. I was able to have a gluten free and pork free meal (food sensitivities) that were still very delicious. Restaurant was clean, well lit, and inviting.

Jenna Davis

The food was so tasty!! I loved that the wait staff were knowledgeable about what had wheat,and gluten. The potato skins were crispy and the best thing I’ve ever had! We also ordered the chicken and mashed potatoes and were pleased!

Becca De Moulin (Phenomenal)

Super nice staff and all the food is great (I was told about this place by a couple elderly San Diegans who've been coming here for years! - they know!) I had turkey avocado benedict on top of the hash Browns (per gluten free necessity) and it was fantastic. Greek salad was lovely too. Huge portions- 3 ethnicities of food and breakfast all day.. definitely something for everyone! I'll be back for sure.

During one of our visit to San Diego, We sometimes have a sudden hunger and jump into the first restaurant that offers Gluten Free Items.. to start We would like to thanks Will the chef on duty when we came for lunch, my Husband has Celiac so gluten is a no no. Will made the impossible possible by making a double hamburger well fitted into a GF English Muffin, that takes skills, BRAVO to Will. My Hubby's Mom who is a young soon to be 91 years old has a lot of difficulty chewing food so it has to be very soft, Mommy loves salmon so we ordered Salmon with 2 sides ,mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. I asked our very nice waitresse Danielle to ask the chef to cook the veggies extra soft, despite this, the veggies were still a little too hard for Mommy to chew. Danielle took things into her own hands and got these veggies and put them into the blender making mashed Veggies that Mommy enjoyed as the empty bowl did show when she was done. Danielle went truly above and beyond her duty as a waitress, her caring for others and her customers is absolutely EXCEPTIONAL. To the manager and the corporate, I say, Take good care of this young lady, employee like her are rare. THANK YOU DANIELLE for being so wonderful 💖 See you soon.

This is kind of a smaller IHOP as they go, and the outside isn't very inviting, but the inside is clean and modern. There are barriers between all the booths and plenty of light coming in through the many windows. The food is just like you'd expect from an IHOP, although I learned that they have gluten free pancakes and waffles, and turkey bacon and sausage. We had a really nice server, efficient and helpful. The only downside is that they have a bell on their front door and it rings at length.... every.... single.... time.... the.... door.... opens.....

Holly Jensen

Really tasty food! I'm vegan and gluten free so I ordered the Cauliflor taco. Great service, awesome presentation, very clean, great salsa bar and outdoor seating. My only wish is that chips would be served on the side with each taco.

CK Porter

Fabulous BBQ! The beyond burger is delicious. Family members have said the brisket, ribs, pulled pork etc are yummy. Wish they had option for Gluten Free bun but other than that, delicious!

Melinda L

Clean, bright restaurant. I’ve only been here for lunch, but have never been disappointed in their authentic dishes. I’m gluten intolerant. I have tolerated all my meals well as long as I’m careful with what I order. Highly recommend!

Kevin

Gluten free pastries! Substitute milk options: oat milk, soy milk and almond milk!

Patrick Salvatierra

They have an excellent burger selection, and gluten free bun options!

eva anderson

Cheesy Camelot-themed pizza joint with excellent beers on tap. Good pizza, gluten-free crust options available as well as a salad bar.

Gary Giffin

My friend said I have to try Dukes and he is a Hodad's fan boy. I can say that this is one of the best burgers I have found in San Diego so far. Fresh hand made to order and HUGE burgers and fries. A single burger was more than enough. we had 2 orders of fries that could have feed 4-5 people. One person in our group was gluten free and she got hers on Romain lettuce, no problem. Clean bathrooms and dining area 5 Stars here!!

Linda Ridge Johnson

I met two friends for lunch this week, and we enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant seems to be popular because there was a 15-minute wait just 30 minutes after they opened! We ordered a gluten-free pasta dish, soup 'n salad, shrimp scampi, and a shrimp tempura appetizer! The food was excellent as always! I can't get enough of the signature breadsticks with marinara sauce. The waitress was the consummate professional! Kudos to the owner and staff! 🏆 I will return soon. 💥💯🥇

Roz Oserin

I just love this little local restaurant. First, the outdoor dining is very appealing. It’s nice to just sit and watch the passersby on a beautiful day But what keeps me coming back is the amazing tacos that they serve! I’m gluten-free so I really can’t partake in the burgers and such, but these tacos are fantastic, highly recommend the fish taco and the short rib taco. They’re so good. I just keep getting the same thing every time I go back. Service is always great The staff has a smile on their face and the food is brought out in just the right amount of time. Highly recommend this place if you were in downtown La Mesa for lunch or dinner !

Jenny DiNofia

I had a great experience at better Buzz. I have a lot of food, allergies, and Rachel assisted me with all of my food questions . I had a delicious gluten-free turkey pesto sandwich, and the most delicious cup of coffee. I will absolutely be returning, and everyone there was so delightful. Thank you Better Buzz 🐝 😊

First time visiting. Great experience. We sat outside since the weather was lovely. The food was on point. We had some of their rolls, blended peach margarita, peach nigori, and mochi. I’m allergic to gluten and dairy and they were able to accommodate. Our waitress was amazing!!!! She was happy and friendly. She was also able to make recommendations for what I could eat and what was able to be modified. At one point she told me that the kitchen was unsure about one of the desserts and were reading through the mixes ingredients to make sure instead of just guessing. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend this location. We even got some gluten and dairy free lava cake to go. So excited to try it out when we get home.
