horrible service. i ordered a blueberry muffin and the person next to me ordered one a minute after. they had me pay for it and then told me they were all out and gave it to the person. this was after waiting in line for 20 minutes. the staff has absolutely no manners. if your looking for good gluten free food with good service save yourself some time and choose a different bakery.
they also do a horrible job at making accommodations. i ordered myself an omelet and told them i could not eat mushrooms and they gave me an omelet with mushrooms. then got annoyed and took another 20 minutes to make me a new one. and it was undercooked and smaller than the actual serving size.

I love this place so greatly, when I lived downtown I would eat here on the regular. The best thing is it is very inclusive of most diets and has a pretty nice selection of vegan and gluten free items, including at some times of year seasonal cakes and pies.. yumm..
However, today in summertime, their were more choices in the salad and entree bar; including some delicious looking pasta salads, and did I mention how high quality all the ingredients are? Today I kept it simple, and got the gluten free vegan snickerdoodle cookies. They are like puffs of sweet satisfying heaven. I can have few with a small latte and just allow my mind to travel and vacation for a moment. The latte which I had for their, in a cup, making it all the more cozy was divine. Steamed well as for the almond mylk, and had a lovely sweet nutty flavor to the espresso. Very quick service btw.
Thats the beauty of this place is you can go and get a latte and nosh, or an entire meal and perhaps some wine.. I will keep coming back and have heard the best things about the owner, thanks for such a delectable space🙏🏽

Yadhira and Andy are AWESOME! We ordered a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese and they made sure to use separate gloves and a separate rack to bake the pizza. This place has the BEST gluten free vegan pizza ever. Also the salad was delicious. Great service, fun atmosphere! We will 100% go back!

Crushcakes is an absolute gem in our community. Their support of local events, like our pickleball fundraiser, shows just how much they care about the people around them.
They are always welcoming, inclusive, and make everyone feel right at home. The iced matcha is one of my favorite go-to drinks, especially in the summer when you need something cool and refreshing.
I also really appreciate their gluten free options. It's not always easy to find treats that taste amazing and still fit dietary needs, but Crushcakes nails it every time. They make sure no one feels left out, and that's something truly special.

The atmosphere is really nice. I came here to try the quiche and gluten free baked goods. The blueberry gluten free muffin was quite small and mildly flavored. I got a much bigger and better one at Helena Ave Bakery.
I read the reviews raving about the quiche and I don’t get the hype. It’s a slice of a basic quiche. It’s nice the crust is gluten free but it was quite thick crust and the quiche was not freshly made…maybe it was fresh from the morning, I got there around 10:40am. But it was reheated and cold in the middle.
This Italian restaurant offers a warm, inviting ambiance reminiscent of a private home, with a beautifully decorated dining room and a cozy outdoor patio. The attentive, pleasant staff ensure a welcoming experience, making it ideal for those seeking gluten-free dining in a charming setting.

Popular restaurant and bakery in downtown Santa Barbara. Great place for breakfast on the weekends. A wide variety of Danish baked goods along with some other non-Danish items. Some gluten-free items also available. All the baked items I’ve tried were good to very good. Depending on the item, you may be able to ask for a small taste before purchase.
Many items available by the piece for dine-
in or takeout, as well as entire baked items such as pies, cakes, and large pastries. Special occasion cakes can also be pre-ordered, such as birthday cakes.
Indoor and outdoor dining available, with outdoor dining being a good place to people watch as this block tends to be somewhat busy with pedestrian traffic. Parking available via multiple nearby public lots off of Chapala Street and Anacapa Street. Boutique shopping also available in the nearby La Arcada shopping center.
This airy indoor spot offers a welcoming vibe with an airy atmosphere perfect for gluten-free diners. Its own parking adds convenience, and the setting supports a gluten-free and plant-based friendly experience that goes above and beyond expectations.

I chose Empty Bowl because most noodle places can accommodate vegans, but I discovered that they didn’t really have a dedicated vegan dish. I was craving rice noodles and veggies, and the staff was very accommodating. The person who took my order was patient and helpful when I requested no tofu and extra vegetables.
However, I was disappointed with the dish I received. It was mostly noodles, with fewer vegetables than I would expect after requesting extra. The sauce was also much saltier than I prefer. They also didn’t have many gluten-free options, and when I asked about MSG, the person taking my order wasn’t sure if it was used in the food. Since I prefer to avoid MSG, this was a concern for me.
I do like the community atmosphere of the food court, as it’s nice to have options that cater to both me as a vegan and my husband, who isn’t. However, the space was quite tight, and with sports games playing, it was louder than I’d prefer. A little more quiet and space between restaurants would enhance the experience.
This upscale yet welcoming spot offers an intimate and cozy atmosphere with soft groovy background music and heat lamps for outdoor seating. Known for its exceptional service and ambiance, it provides a safe and enjoyable dining experience for those seeking gluten-free options.

I'm not used to eating at Gluten free restaurants, but this place had some surprising dishes. First off, wasn't too excited to be going here in the first place. Not much looked appealing. Ordered the salmon. And I was pleasantly surprised. It was very tasty. Also had this Kung pow cauliflower appetizer (I hate cauliflower) that was so delicious. Wow, so good! Overall, it was a great experience.

First time here. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful even though it was extremely busy. The chips and salsas were very good and gluten-free. I had the chicken enchiladas. I requested extra sauce and sliced radishes. It was delicious. My companion had the steak fajitas, the meat was cooked to perfection but it was a bit bland. On the plus side they have lots of gluten-free choices.

I highly recommend you bring ear plugs and prepare to have zero conversation with your dining companions if you choose to eat a Ca’ Dario.
They have crammed so many tables in the two spaces, you literally have to push/pull them back and forth in order to squeeze around other diners and to get up/down from the table. That means there’s far too many people sitting in the space, and with the high ceilings and hard surfaces, everything is loud, loud, loud.
Service was poor. Our server started out fine. Once our food was delivered she was never to be seen again. More water? Would have loved some. Fresh pepper for your salad? That would have been nice. She did get swamped and in the weeds very quickly, but still didn’t change the fact that other neighboring tables received service and we did not.
The gluten free pasta was great. The romana salad was lovely. But none of that was worth the headache that came after the nonstop cacophony of noise for the duration of our meal.

Since visiting Oaxaca many years ago, I have yet to experience such incredible moles and foods. Truly one of the best meala I've had in Santa Barbara. The drinks, entrees, and dishes are rich, complex, bright, acidic and perfectly spiced. The moles are gluten free and there were many vegetarian options as well. Took my partner there for his birthday and were blown away by the incredible service and taste.
