Ash was such a helpful server. He helped me navigate the gluten free menu. And he was so attentive and really went above and beyond! Thank you Ash!

A wonderful place for some of the best-tasting food. My soup was homemade-like, the tuna salad sandwich was tasty and heated. The avocado toast was the best I've ever had. And the chocolate cake—just order a slice. Yes, it's all gluten-free, but don't pass it up if you're not on a GF diet, as it's a healthy alternative to most places.

Chloe Rodgers

My friend and I came here awhile back to try to gluten free churros and were very impressed! Super cute atmosphere and fun place to hang out for a bit.

Jackie, the cashier and server is fabulous! She is so friendly and made us all feel very welcome. Service was great and the gluten free sandwich and side of potato salad was delicious. Definitely recommend and we will be back to see Jackie and try some more delicious food.

Ordered a Gluten-Free crust as I have a strong gluten allergy - not it. Tough, dense cardboard :( The toppings were phenomenal so it's such a bummer that the crust ruined it.

Good atmosphere, friendly servants, and great gluten-free menu.

I was lucky to have this very fine coffee shop just down the street from the place where I stayed with my family while visiting universal studios. The place had a great atmosphere, a great selection of coffee and latte specialties, and plenty of those pastries to choose from. Plenty of nicer on the wall, see the book inside and outside. The style of seating was quite buried with a small upper loft area, and a lower area next to the very studies, and various tables outside both in front of the shop and along the side. The baristas seemed very friendly and attentive, and readily gave advice on the choices that they had to offer. The strawberry latte I got was quite enjoyable, which I enjoyed along with a little gluten-free loaf - quite tasting with pretty star sprinkles on top. I went here twice over the weekend not bothering to look for another place because this one was just what I needed. If you are staying in Studio City, I recommend a stop by here for your coffee here

Love it, they even do gluten allergies well! Just tell em and they’ll change gloves etc

Derynne Davis Taylor

Very disappointing. Ahead of time I had asked if there were gluten free options including sandwiches and when I got there discovered they didn't. Ordering was a nightmare if you chose to do it via the app, it took forever and actually I ended up doing it in person. The food was mediocre, and the seating uncomfortable. Probably won't go back.

Jared Lopez

Gluten free pancakes were awesome friendly staff. Chili is delicious and they have a nice gluten free menu

Bar-B

Best gluten-free free crust around!!! Delicious pizzas (the Margherita, the Margherita al crudo, and the cacio e pepe), salads (the Caviletto di bruxelles is a do not miss! the cesare is delish!), pasta (the parppardelle is some of the best around!), and deserts are all absolutely delicious!!!! Great atmosphere and wonderful service!!! Highly recommend!

Maureen San

Visited last minute on a Tuesday night. Very busy which surprised me, to add to the excitement superb ambiance. Love the dim lights and the best part was an available gluten free menu. The staff made sure to communicate with the manager and chef.👌🏽 Highly recommend: the pear & Brie pizza. shrimp ceviche Sea bass 👌🏽 Wine Sangria And to top it off the double chocolate cake 👌🏽 Really excited to come back and visit. Thank you.

Robert Cox

OMG, outstanding burgers! Love the fries, too. The craft root beer is amazing. Gluten free buns are delicious. Friendly staff, quick service! Our new fave spot!

Amy Walker

Love Harvest Bar! Delicious vegan gluten-free and raw options. Lots of alternative milk options. Love their bowls and Turmeric Latte. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice little tables outside in the shade.

Willie Abreu

Delicious vegan food with plenty of gluten-free options. Their Thai dishes are packed with flavor and noticeably lighter, without the greasiness you often find at other places.

Charlotte Fante

Love that this place has a lot of gluten free vegan options that aren't all soy-based. Their avocado and potato tacos are my favorite. The Syrah is also a great wine for the price, especially at happy hour. It's a good place to get work done in the mid-afternoon hours since it's pretty quiet. Friendly service overall.

Jane Jones

I am not gluten intolerant but my boyfriend is and I took him here anyway (worst gf ever) thinking I would have the seafood spaghetti all to myself because it is to DIE for , and he can figure something else out . Turns out almost all the pastas on the menu are gluten free & how that is possible I’ll never know . It is the best tasting pasta . I just can’t believe it . I live in NY & dream of this place . FIVE STARS food & service

Marcos Almonte Perez

Great restaurants for those with Celiac. Gluten Free pancakes and other wonderful food items on the menu.

Mulberry Street Pizza has been my favorite pizza since I was a child ans my dad introduced me to it in Encino CA. they then opened up one in Sherman Oaks and now I live walking distance from this location. I just recently came and got a pepperoni and sliced meatball pizza and I think I may have a new favorite aside from classic pepperoni. They even now.habe gluten free option and vegan options which accommodates my wife's dietary sensitivities, which I definitely tried then definitely finished haha. Just a wonderful New York Style pizza place that serves Hungry Man sized pizza slides and reminds me of a mom a pop type pizza shop. Looking forward to when I can eat inside again with my wife and new daughter (as soon as she can eat pizza!)

We originally discovered Joe’s when it was in the Sherman Oaks Galleria…how strange and wonderful it was to find genuinely good NY style pizza in a mall! We were sad when it closed but super-excited to hear they finally opened their slice-shop in another part of Sherman Oaks. Sunday night is pizza night in this neck of the woods and decent NY pies are hard to come by in the Valley (I mean besides Mulberry Street which is about 2 blocks away.) This location is a more traditional (than the mall location was) no-nonsense shop with a few tables. We met another family there and were happy to sit the kids at one table while we adults enjoyed slices like civilized human beings. In a nutshell, the slices are still better than 95% of the NY style slices you can get anywhere in L.A. though this time around, and we’re hoping it was just a bad batch, the sauce on all of our different slices (and my wife’s gluten free) was way too salty. Salty to the point where it really deflated our excitement for the re-opening of Joe’s. I had a cheese slice and a grandma’s slice. The cheese is a traditional slice, the grandma has a bit more of the sauce and is topped with fresh mozzarella (as opposed to shredded). Both tasted good…especially the cheese which came from a pie that came right out of oven without having to be reheated. The crust was perfect as was the cheese. Again the sauce was was way too salty. (Way saltier than I remember it being previously and obviously, at least according to all of our adult palettes, was not the way it should be. Kudos for offering a gluten free option (a cauliflower based crust) which my wife had. She thought it was fine but this particular style crust doesn’t excite her that much…at the very least it was nice that it was an option so the whole family could enjoy pizza night. Our kid didn’t live his mushroom slice. It was kind of like a cheese slice heated up and then mushrooms put on top and not cooked. That may appeal to some but he’s used to mushroom pizza where the mushrooms are cooked so the almost raw mushrooms on top didn’t do it for him. We also had ordered salads which they forgot to make so we ended up taking them to go. It’s a new shop and they’re probably not used to so many people dining in…so they need probably just need to get their system down. So, in another nutshell, it was still better than 95% of NY pizzas in LA. But they definitely need to up their game in terms of the actual product as we would really have no problem defaulting to at least as good Mulberry Street a couple blocks away.

This place is great. The baristas really care about making great coffee and serving it with a great attitude. They also have great gluten-free pastries and fun shirts,mugs, and Emotional Support Rocks for sale.

Rick Lupert

We've been to On the Thirty a number of times and have never been disappointed with what we were served, or the service. I'm a big fan of the Fig on Fire pizza which is sweet, filling, topped with greens and a super unique pizza treat. My wife also got the gluten free crust version and dug it. I also treated myself to the Que Rico from the "Frosty Drinks" menu....Mezcal (think smokey tequila) mixed with vanilla liquor, bitters, brown sugar, lime and mint. Yum! There is plenty for vegetarians to enjoy here too, truffle fries, mac and cheese, fried cauliflower, Brussels (which are vegan and delicious), a couple other pizzas and salads. This is a great, comfortable spot for a delicious meal for any diet and drinks.

Very fresh sushi. And they went above and beyond to work with my gluten restrictions.

Lovely little place a block off Ventura Blvd, offering both inside & outside seating in the garden under blooming bougainvillea. We were in the mood for some serious protein after traveling from the East Coast, and the Garden’s burgers & fries sounded great. And they were-GREAT. You order up front and then go find a table to wait for your order to be served. I’m gluten free, and had my burger w/ all the fixings, but no bun. Just as well cuz my sweet potato fries seriously rocked, & I devoured every last one. The wait staff was helpful & very nice. It was a pleasant & delicious meal. Burgers, fries, & 2 sodas came to $48 before tip. Big bucks for burgers, but hey- they’re LA burgers baby.😉

Gluten-free made to order! Awesome tasting and so authentic!

The TOAST CAFE is a compact, Mediterranean style, kosher, restaurant that serves vegan, Gluten-Free, and conventional meals. The eatery has a few tables inside and many more on the protected patio. The staff is knowledgeable and anxious to please. The Middle Eastern style entrees, are fresh, mildly spiced, and quite large. Their coffee is strong. I ordered the vegan Shawarma Wrap, which includes Impossible ground beef, onions, cabbage, red peppers, hummus and tahini. Accompanying the wrap is a cup of Israeli salad containing tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, onions, parsley, olive oil, and lemon juice. The generous serving was mild and delicious. This was the first time two of our guests had eaten kosher Israeli food. They loved it and took the leftovers home. One of our party had a birthday. At the spur of the moment, the server was able to provide a slice of kitchen decorated cheese cake and a candle. STUFF: Toast Cafe has been open since 2012. A restroom is located outside, and is entered at the rear of the building. Everything is ADA compatible. The free parking lot is difficult to access especially in a wheelchair.

My friend and I had a blast at Casa Vega. The atmosphere is lovely and upbeat. We got serenaded at our table by a live performer, which added to the experience. The food was good, not great. I ordered the Casa Vega bowl with steak, and my friend got the spinach enchiladas. There were plenty of gluten-free options, and the restaurant was safe with cross contamination. Be sure to make a reservation in advance. Overall, a fun night living out our Kardashian dreams!

Raul RG

Such a great place. Their service is superb, very friendly staff. Every item in the menu comes to your table in a lovely presentation. It shows dedication in every plate they serve. They are very consistent with their recipes. My favorite, avocado toast with egg on top and egg sandwich on gluten-free bread. No gluten free crepes available, unfortunately for me. In spite of that I keep coming for the items I can have. Besides, their coffee is also very good. Be aware of the wait if they are busy, specially in the weekends. They prepare everything very fresh. Again, it is worth the wait and the experience. They are very accommodating. The taste in their menu will speak by itself. I truly recommend Nesmon Cafe.

Nipun Nair

Great food and great people! Love this place!!! they’re flexible and will make vegan and gluten free options for you. Veggie kabob is bomb!

shaylyn noel

The gluten free pizza is amazing. I didn't have any negative reactions from gluten either. It's a little shop with delicious food and outdoor seating.

Justina O.

Very delicious vegan dishes. Also has sugar-free and gluten-free sweeties ☺️

Joshua Bohm

Chipotle Mexican Grill is my go to eating spot with my wife. The staff are very friendly, the food is great, and prepared very quickly. They have an online menu and list all their gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options.

Athena Demos

That was super yummy. I will be back. We had veggie pakora, saag paneer, and veggie coconut curry. Those flavors together were spectacular. I dont eat gluten. It was all gluten free and the staff was knowledgeable about how the dishes are prepared. I'm not celiac. They did say some cross contamination could occur. I did not get sick after. I think it was prepared in a way to limit gluten exposure. Yum. Love it here.

Climate Action Productions

Gluten free sushi! They have gluten free options and gluten free soy sauce!

Marie Aldrich

Such a wonderful experience! incredible server who helped two of us who were gluten free make sure our order was safe for us. She even took a family picture for us outside the restaurant. Hope we can go back again before we leave LA area!

Minna Donatucci

This is a really nice place. The staff are very much ok the ball. We were a part of a large group and they didn't have any trouble. They have a great room in the back for such parties, which we were very thankful to see, because it let us hear one another without the extra noise from the rest of the place. The food was tasty, but for someone who cannot eat gluten it was limited. Quite limited. I had the burger without the bun and it was very delicious. I would recommend this place, but be prepared for fewer choices of you have dietary issues. It's still worth a trip.

Cheryl inAction

I eat at Denny's when I travel because they have, Gluten Free english muffin & turkey bacon. GF options for breakfast is hard to find.

Eryn Justice

I've never experienced such wonderful hospitality, customer service, and fantastic food all in one establishment! I have Celiacs disease and contacted the restaurant via Yelp to ask if they made any gf accommodations. Rondahl got back to me and told me they could, but to just call ahead. So on the day of, I called ahead and a very pleasant greeter answered the phone. I then talked to Rondahl and he assured me he had the gf flour to make the accommodations. Fast forward to dinner time and I ordered the fish on the bayou meal, they changed the cream sauce to a buttery caper sauce, with dirty rice, snapper, and fried shrimp. My boyfriend ordered red beans and rice with the chicken sausage, and a side of potato salad and cornbread. Our server Tim was attentive and kind. They also had live music!!! Wonderful experience! Can't wait to come back already!

Bob Heston

Best pasta meal ever, even with gluten free pasta!

Leedor Habot

Delicious food, and has some gluten free options. Although the employees there are Dont really know what is gluten free, so I wasn’t too confident. However if you’re very careful and make sure to ask the right questions, I think you should be alright. Maybe

Nancy Wardle

Jazmine Jendersee

Best restaurant in this area hands down. Lots of delicious gluten free options and soups with cabbage and bok choy and the best veggie spring rolls in sweet rice paper you'll feel like youre biting into a yummy pillow that could whisk you off to a dreamland of flavor and delightful light bright energy. I feel healed after coming to this place. Try the avocado curry

Matt Torres

This Location is stingy with the Teriyaki (they only give you one small sauce, not a regular branded one) and the parking is not the best but you should be able to find a spot. BUT they're not stingy with the chicken which is awesome. If they always give you the amount I got, it's 5 stars forsure. Gluten free like most the locations which makes TMad overall a 5 star establishment.
