Top 37 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Palm Springs

Danielle Sell

This is my go to spot in PS for a healthy breakfast. Organic coffee, fresh veggies, juices, etc. and 10/10 service. Good gluten free options.

Grace B

Really good

Stephanie Roush

Gluten free options galore! Vegetarian also. We loved the food and our server, Kaitlin, was hilarious and made our time there amazing. We wish we had eaten all of our meals here on our trip.

Fantastic service, good food and drinks but the atmosphere left a bit to be desired. I came here with a group of 9 people, and we were seated in the back room where I guess they put the bigger groups. The smaller front room with the bar seemed like way more of a vibe with the lighting, decor and music but the back room was kind of big and boring with bright overhead lighting. The food wasn't mind blowing but it was totally solid and I was very pleased with the number of gluten free options and the staff's knowledge and detail about cross contamination, ensuring that I would be safe to eat here as a person with celiac disease. The highlights were the amazing gluten free churros (!!!) and our wonderful server. If you're with a big group, they can definitely support that but I hope they can improve the vibes of that back space. I would come back, maybe with a smaller group, and sit in the more vibey front bar area and honestly I'd come back just for the churros they were so good!

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast on the terrace. They sat us quickly. The server was busy and friendly. What I loved was their gluten free options.

Ashley Trousdell

The gluten-free pizza was wonderful!

Meredith W

Dedicated fryer! Their truffle Parmesan fries were absolutely incredible!!!

Dena Arrow

What an amazing experience!! Every detail was thoughtfully executed. Our party had a dairy & gluten allergy and our waiter Jeff was impeccable with his knowledge and helpful advice. Our wine was amazing and each dish, we were excited to share only one bite with each other! Dessert was delish and the after dinner drinks were wonderful. If I could give 6 stars I would!!! Thank you Jeff … until next time!! xoxo

4/16/25: breakfast with a friend. The outdoor seating area in this restaurant is borderline magical. Somehow, even though dozens of people are seated in this small space, it still felt like it was just the two of us. If the service was spotty, and the food just okay, the atmosphere would still somehow make this place excellent. But good news! The service is 4 out of 5 stars, and the food is scrumptious. There seems to be a small army of servers who somehow danced around the tight space, keeping water glasses full and checking on diners. I enjoyed a gluten-free omelette that surprisingly came with some regular bread. The server happily replaced it with gluten-free bread quickly. I also enjoyed French press coffee. This is a busy restaurant, but I give them props for developing an efficient system regarding the waitlist and notification when the table is ready. They suggested a 35 minute wait, but it ended up being like 15. My tip is to not be afraid of a long line. You will probably be seated quickly, and a short wait is definitely worth it.

WOW! This place exceeded expectations. I was nervous because we had a party of 11(8 adults and 3 children). They don't accept reservations but we were sat instantly at 6pm. This is a great location for people looking to have separate checks and order when you are ready. They are organized and efficient. We ordered the food and it came out in less than 10 minutes. My family ordered nacho fries, fajitas (half chicken/half asada), wings, and 4 on the rocks margaritas flight. It was $105 all together but worth every penny. Presentation, quality of food, and atmosphere were exceeded expectations. We sat with our party on the patio table 1 and 3. Our whole party had fun. They had two mix ups with some of our parties food due to misunderstandings. One person is gluten intolerant and was able to order but got there food in delay. I didn't get any food pictures because the kids were hungry but the portions are not small. I recommend the flights.

We brought friends from the other end of the valley to Giuseppe’s as we have been there many times before and never been disappointed. Tonight was quite different. Our waitress took our order for a single Diet Pepsi but apparently there was an equipment issue but “service would be restored shortly”. Two more requests before the Pepsi actually arrived although other guests around us received their mixed drinks without delay. Bread was offered but only appeared with a second request. Meals came and the first 3 of 4 came together and were correct although there was some initial uncertainty about one of the dishes being gluten free. My wife left the table to ensure our guests were in receipt of the correct pasta. While our guests received generous portions that they were unable to finish, my meal, the veal Picata was skimpy with three small strips of veal, and a very small portion of pasta. It felt like Shrinkflation had come to Giuseppe’s. The first 3 dishes were piping hot, mine had clearly been sitting waiting for the other 3. The waitress did not return to our table until we were more than half way through our dinners. A tip was left in spite of our experience but we did leave disappointed. 😔

Sammy G’s was quite a fancy looking spot although when I went everything seemed to be in some defunct stage, waiting for parties later on. My guests were sat on a patio lined with cheesy St Patrick’s day decorations and I sipped on a “Blue Lady” while contemplating the cultural meaning of the giant blow-up rainbow flowing into a pot of gold lined with shamrocks, towering above our table. Surrounding us on all the lamp posts were tasteless metallic green four leaf clovers with confetti script cheering on the event. These symbols mean next to nothing to me or anyone else out here, nor is Sammy’s culturally related to the Irish whatsoever. It’s seems to be just weirdly branded nonsense reason to drink a lot at this point. Does anyone even know who Saint Patrick was? For one, Saint Patrick wasn’t even named Patrick. His name was Maewyn Succat and he was a Christian missionary who brought religion to the Irish pagans. He effectively brainwashed a culture of beautiful pagan beliefs just as Christian missionaries did to most nearly every culture on this planet. And legend has it that he did so by teaching the Holy Trinity using a 3 leaf clover. Notice all the celebratory symbolism on this fake holiday represents 4 leaf clovers, leprechauns, rainbows, and pots of gold, all of which have nothing to do with the saint who eradicated these types of Irish myths and beliefs. Seeing this beautiful Italian restaurant decorated with gaudy junk representing a bizarre holiday truly took away from the experience. The pasta and pizzas offered gluten free options which was amazing. And when I was finished with the Blue Lady, I had the Red Lady. I recommend sticking with Blue. I’ve always wondered why there isn’t an option to rate the drinks. There’s only the option to rate food. But they were decent, not the best. Still, I’d come back for the bolognese. Incredible.

Bright inside, lots of seating inside and out. Good coffee, baked goods with limited sugar and/or gluten free. Very nice outdoor seating.

We have eaten at Viet Fusion 5 or 6 times now. It is a tucked away gem. If you find yourself wanting a bowl of Pho or a freshly made ahi tuna spring roll or perhaps pad thai...this is your place. They also have a nice selection of gluten free dishes. There is a full bar. It is not a large restaurant but it's quiet and cool and dim inside with nicely placed tables and chairs. There is also a patio for dining. It's in a non descript strip mall sort of on the backside. Plenty of parking.

Mariea Monday-Richardson

We had lunch and it was delicious. I had the frittata and they made it gluten free.

KK Fiffick

It was a bar like setting nothing fancy and a little loud indoors. They had a great option to eat outdoors. Lots of gluten free choices and all food was good for the six of us dining. They have a nice parking lot.

Christopher Ward

Excellent food, very aware of gluten-free options and considerate of celiac members of our dining party.

Aaron E

Great vegan food. Counter order restaurant so it's not Michelin Star food but if you're looking for a quick bite it's really good! They're fast with the food also. Gluten free options but not everything is gluten free.

Virginia and Clint Snider

The staff was great, the food was OK. Not a great place for celiac. Non celiac hubby liked his burger but fries (krinkle cut) were left uneaten. My salad was just ok, iceberg lettuce.

Idunn The Wanderer

I can't get enough of this place ever since I learned about the amazing gluten free bread!

Crystal Varkalis

INCREDIBLE spot for vegans, only wish I lived closer! Will always try to remember to stop by when I'm in this area. The desserts were incredible!!! Lots of delicious grab-n-go items & sauces too. Small Gluten Free selection tho- if they had GF bread for the sandwiches then this place would really be perfect

Evie Abat

Died and gone to pizza heaven. Best authentically Italian pie I’ve had since being in Italy 🇮🇹. Soooo light and thin! Full without being comatose! Excellent! The owner was so sweet and friendly. He explained how the flour they use has less gluten and carbs. Maybe I should have ordered TWO pizzas! Pasta was delish, too, but the pizza was the standout. Definitely will be back!

Andrea Blessum

Our server and the other staff were very friendly and kind, making faces at the baby with our party to make her smile. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu, which I appreciate as a person who can't eat gluten and dairy.

I’ve eaten so many times here. Take out often too. I’m gluten intolerant and they’re aware and have many options. I often get beef or chicken taquitos. I’ve never had a chewy piece of meat and the lettuce and tomato are always crisp and fresh. It’s a simple meal, done to perfection. Did I say always? Always friendly. Reasonably priced. Friendly, family atmosphere.

Food, service, and atmosphere were all 10/10!!! We went here after landing in Palm Springs. Not only did we eat delicious tacos and enchiladas, but our server Paul gave us incredible recommendations for navigating the dessert heat and things to do while we’re visiting. Also, celiac friendly!!! The chef was notified immediately and it was no problem to accommodate.

Loved this spot! We polled several locals for their favorite brunch spots and almost everyone mentioned Jake's, so we knew we had to try it. It has more of a boutique/homey feel than some other places, and everyone working was extremely nice. Food and drinks also came out very fast. We got the short rib Benedict and lobster roll without a roll (GF, of course!), plus a side of fries. All were super good. I also had a rosie margarita, which was very pretty and not cloyingly sweet. We ordered a couple desserts to go - they had several gluten free baked goods, so I was really happy. One of the slices of cake (not GF) was as big as our heads... wild. Definitely stop by this place when you're in town. I recommend not driving as their drink menu is very extensive and everything looked great; would've loved to have another if we weren't driving home right after!

Scott Barter

We sat at the bar, the bartender was super friendly and accommodating for my partners celiac disease. The cauliflower pizza crust was so good, the pasta was meh. Would get 2 pizzas next time.

Kazzandra Paz

Great seafood and they have a gluten-free menu

Joel

You must try the gluten-free pizza. It's is great.

Colleen King

Really delicious cold brew. Woman run. Some gluten free options. Açaí bowl was perfect. Good portions. Great patio!

Skip the apple pancakes and get the beignets instead! The beignets were light and fluffy, instead of the crispier churro texture that comes from most places when it's overcooked. Beignets are a 4.5 on a scale of 1-5. The crispy apple pancakes that they're known for were too sweet and needed a higher pancake to apple ratio. Crispy apple pancakes were a 2.5 on a 1-5 scale. California omelet was tasty. Not super amazing like I had hoped, but still very good. California Omelet was 3.75 on a 1-5 scale. I didn't like that the fruit that came with California Omelet, which was honeydew melon and canteloupe, with 4 grapes since I'm allergic to those melons, and they ran out of the gluten free muffin too. Since I can't have gluten I asked for bacon instead. They charged me a dollar for one slice of bacon, which is ridiculous. I also ordered a side of the cubed potatoes, which tasted good - 3.75 on a scale of 1-5. Overall we liked the food and will come back here when we're in town because the beignets were so good (the remarks on the beignets and crispy apple pancakes came from my husband since I couldn't eat them).

Some of our dishes were delicious! This review is more about the claim that they PRIDE themselves on gluten free. This would be ok if you just preferred to not eat gluten. But as one member of our party had a celiac allergy we were excited to eat here based on their website and claims. Unfortunately, the only gluten free option was GF bread, and they do not have a separate fryer or grill for fries or bread. There were only a few possible items that were truly gluten free and the server, tho very understanding, wasn’t sure about some of the sauces and food items. In conclusion: this place had yummy options for non-celiac people. Myself and the other person in our group enjoyed our food. But it was disappointing to expect more options based on their website and reviews and show up to having to carefully select and not be able to have the freedom of a carefree brunch.

It gets wild. The food is great. They do have celiac safe gluten free options. Rosemary is fabulous.
