Top 11 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Seal Beach

We had our end-of-year company dinner at Spaghettini, and it was absolutely AMAZING! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make our 25-person gathering seamless and enjoyable. They were incredibly helpful in curating a delicious and affordable menu that catered to our needs. A special shoutout to our servers, Sawnsearay and Angelina, who were attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone in our group was taken care of. The buffet tables were beautifully decorated, and they made it a point to clearly call out gluten-free options and accommodate other dietary restrictions. At the end of the night, we had plenty of leftovers, and they kindly provided individual boxes as well as larger ones for us to bring everything back to our office. It was such a thoughtful touch! Overall, the entire experience was wonderful. I highly recommend Spaghettini for company dinners, family gatherings, or any special occasion. Thank you for making our evening so memorable!

Be careful eating here if you have celiac. Their menu boasts tons of gluten free options, however when ordering and asking questions the manager said the sriracha they use is not gluten free. Even though all the spicy rolls using the sriracha were listed as gluten free. I ended up getting just a few pieces of sushi.

WOW! This cafe was recommended to us during our vacation at Seal Beach. It was a short walk from our rental, so I decided to go one morning for coffee and breakfast. It was delicious! In fact, for the next three mornings, we brought different family members with us. We tried both sweet and savory crepes, the homemade granola, omelettes, and the amazing avocado toast! They were accommodating with gluten-free bread and provided excellent service. If you arrive early (before 7:30), you can usually avoid the line, but even if you have to wait, it's worth it!

A more family style restaurant in such a large volume area. I feel like this brings a true small-town vibe to such a big city. The menu is very comprehensive and covers all sorts of options for gluten-free, vegan, and other dietary restrictions. The food is amazing! I had the breakfast pot-pie, I know strange, but very good!

Irish pub vibes, good burgers, gluten free bun isn't too bad.

I have celiac and came to Avila’s for their gluten free menu, however they don’t treat gluten allergies properly. I ordered from the gluten free menu and was assured the meal I ordered would avoid cross contact. Not only was I served regular, non gluten free enchiladas but after flagging this to the server, the manager even came over and informed us “sometimes the rice is not gluten free”. Photos of the first meal I was served and the “correct gluten free” meal they served me after. Be advised to if you’re eating here with a gluten allergy!

Wow very impressed. My wife is gluten-free and this place took care of her. We asked our server if she could get teppanyaki gluten-free and he assured of the chef would take care of it and use gluten-free soy sauce. The chef prepared hers first and did a great job of avoiding cross-contamination. The server was also very aware of other items that might contain gluten. Most Japanese food could easily be gluten-free, it is just usually just because of the wheat in soy sauce, and my wife often craves Japanese food. We'll come back for sure.

I wanted to have afternoon tea for my birthday and most tea places were closed on Mondays. I’m so glad McKennas was opened!! Food and Tea were both amazing and they were even able to accommodate my husband who has to eat gluten-free.
