Top 50 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens Across California

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. 💚

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 think this is gonna be interesting

love it

Apparently I’m not a fan of gluten free bread and pastries. Things tasted dry, we’re crumbly and just lacked the texture I am used to. Flavors were ok, I’m sure it’s a wonderful place for those with the dietary restrictions.

Totally Gluten free heaven

I met Virginia of Epic Magazine there. She is gluten intolerant and I am aiming towards a gluten free lifestyle. Unfortunately I do not know the cashiers, server, or clean up persons name. However her customer service was superb, our food was delicious and I liked the cleaner minimalist look. Came back a second time and bought the gluten free breaded chicken fillets. Excellent and for two people quite a few meals, plus quick and easy.

Best place!!

I traveled from Sacramento to try this gluten-free bakery. I was very surprised by the variety of items available. I wish they would open a location close by.

Jeremy Mozlin

Lovely little place in downtown SB that you'd never know was gluten-free if you didn't ask! Food was delicious, and they clearly put great care into their decor, tableware, and other accents. Save room for dessert, if you can!

On a Thursday evening a few weeks back, we called in a takeout order. Originally I had ordered a gluten free pizza, but Alfredo called us back to notify us that they were out of gf dough. Instead, we opted for the following: the kids’ gluten free mac and cheese (I am cheesy), a side salad (such a deal!), and GF I Am Beloved (an elevated version of the classic mac with a brisket-like lions mane mushroom/butternut squash/Brussel sprouts situation. Talk about a flavor explosion! When we arrived, Alfredo explained the loyalty program - sign up and get $10 off your first order. He seamlessly allowed us to honor the offer on our visit. His thoughtfulness and customer service, coupled with the delicious food, made for a lovely evening. I wish there was a Cafe Gratitude in NYC because I would be there on a weekly basis for their clean eating, kindness, and good vibes! Also, I need the key lime pie ASAP.

I don’t understand how they’re still in business. The service is decent, but the baked goods are terrible. I tried them years ago when there were hardly any gluten free bakeries around, so they were a decent option considering there was almost nothing else available, but after all these years nothing has improved and there are far better options out there. The frosting is awful and they really need to develop a new recipe. The cakes are dry and just don’t taste that great. One of the items i got was so disgustingly sweet I had to throw it away after a few bites. Everything is completely overpriced especially considering how terrible they are. I’ll just keep going to Modern Bread and Bagel and Kirari West because Erin Mckenna’s is not worth it with the quality of their recipes

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

Dominique Boschetti

Delicious 100%vegan and gluten free. Doesn't have much sitting area. *NO CASH ACCEPTED*

Kaelie Rose

Their baked goods are amazing!!! I visit everytime I am in San Diego

Jessica Schneiderman

Best gastropub/high-end comfort food/small plates for celiac folks! The churros and mac & cheese are a MUST HAVE!

Victoria Alice

Donuts

Tanner

The gluten free crust was really good! Service definitely stole the show, Giacomo was charming and kind. The rest of the staff were also attentive to guests needs regardless of if it was their table or not. Really makes a difference in making it a great experience. Would definitely come back.

Jenna Portela

Entire menu can be made gf and they do their best with cross contamination

Mariah carpenter

Cute gluten-free bakery in Santa Cruz, and I must say the most authentic taste and gluten-free doughnut. I tried the coconut and it was really neck an neck to an original old-fashioned donut!

Crystal Garcia

From appetizers to combos, you will not be disappointed. Dine in or take out. Hearty meals with delicious side dishes and dinners served with corn bread. There is also a gluten free corn muffin for those who are conscientious of this type of intake. Great Senior meal choices, kids menu and great choices for the serious BBQ lover. Staff is very attentive and friendly.

Sai Janaswamy

Small coffee shop. Sells vegan and Gluten free coffee and treats! Right across the Safeway here. Everything is delicious. I would highly reccomend the Dever cupcake for any sweet tooths out there. And if u love your vailla, you will love it more. The cake is very moist and delicious. Its not at all overpowering with vanilla cake and frosting. 😋🫰🫰

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 :)

Stephanie Hakim

Loved this place!!!! Went here when I was on vacation. Wish they were in Los Angeles too!!!!

Diane Eblin

100% GF bakery that is amazing. Everything I’ve eaten has been delicious.

Maryam K

Brioche, croissants were heavy but good

Greg Caliwag

Forget that this place is gluten free goods. It's one of, if not the best bakery in the area. Even if you aren't gluten free, you should eat here anyway because you won't know any difference.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!! I have been to other Urban Plates but I Enjoyed this one for sure. Came with my coworker he's from San Diego and showed him this spot since we were on lunch. We met Karla I believe she was new ( I'm sorry if I got her name wrong) and she is amazing at Customer service being patient and kind as my coworker was orderering. She didn't rush but she was Patient and was also able to help us in Customer Service. Not only that but she went above and beyond but I can tell she was kind and so was other employees who took our plate and offered to even replenish our drinks and take our Plates. Love your Services!! I ordered the Steak platter with Brussel sprouts and mash potatoes and other was a Burger I forget what kind but we also purchased a Cookie with a complementary cookie. I enjoyed my meal today felt like I was cooking at home. Over all steak was super juicy mash potatoes had flavor so as the brussel sprouts. The cookies we had was Chocolate cookie and Gluten free Cookie with that Sea Salt on top was really Amazing. Over food was great, Service A++ Atmosphere was vining was looking at the Flower that's in black and white painted on the ceiling. Overall I was impressed by Karla. Karla you will do great!! Keep going YOU WILL DO WELL!! Thank you Urban Plates!!

Great 100% gluten free spot! It is also raw and vegan, so it does not have the most traditional meals and desserts but they are still very yummy. I enjoyed the various raw desserts we ordered and my cashew cheese quesadilla.

Georgia Maass

BEST gluten free donut I’ve ever had! 👏🏼🍩

The most amazing place for celiacs in the world

The Goods never disappoints! We went on a Saturday on a holiday weekend afternoon and I was worried they would be sold out. They still had a great selection and everything was super fresh and delicious! Best gluten free donuts.

Jerome Theresse

Every entree, appetizer, and dessert is gluten free here. it's pricey but well worth it for a splurge.

Anna Kapliienko

atmosphere is really nice. food was just delicious. a lot of gluten free options. lasagna is worth trying

Katie Lehmann

Absolutely loved everything here! The sweet employee suggested trying the breakfast burrito and she was SO RIGHT! As someone who’s had celiac for 15+ years, I haven’t had a decent breakfast burrito since my gluten eating days and this one was definitely worth going back for an I live about an hour away from Alamo/Danville. Obviously the gf cupcakes were amazing too! We got strawberries & cream and cookies n cream!

Sara Palmieri

I LOVE this place, their food and their location. 😍

The whole glass container is gluten free and they do seasonal items as well ! I love their donuts!

Lynette B

Absolutely fantastic! They have fresh gluten free pasta that is out of this world delicious. My daughter and I stayed there for 2 hours enjoying drinks, appetizers, salad, pasta and dessert. All gluten free and wonderful! The service is a perfect blend of attentive and allowing you to have your space. I have eaten here three time so far. I will be back anytime I am in Carmel. Did I mention fresh made gluten free pasta!!!
