Top 21 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in South Lake Tahoe

Fantastic gluten free pizza! We come here every time we’re in South Lake. The only drawback is that it gets so busy on weekends that it can be hard to get a table and service can be a little slow. Great beer & cocktail options, friendly staff, and good vibes all around, though!

It’s been a few years since I’ve been here, but the menu continues to impress. I ordered the A.T.O.M. bagel with gluten-free bread, which was fantastic. I really appreciated that with the substitution, I was not charged extra. The perfect place to sit and enjoy the delights of South Lake Tahoe. I also really appreciate the menu, which makes it very easy to see what other options are available and what is popular. The wait in line is always a little long, but it is worth it. This is one of the OG places to find vegan and vegetarian food and it continues to impress.

Gluten free pizza, wings, and tots. The GF pizza was great. My friends had the regular pizza and said it was great. The house spicy sweet bbq sauce is really good. They even have a GF calzone that I'll have to try next time.

If you are gluten free, vegetarian, or both, this place is truly dismal. Strong start on their gluten free fryer being "unavailable", so everything fried marked as gluten free is, in fact, a lie. So that's all out. There's a grand total of two vegetarian options, one of which is a veggie burger (which isn't gluten free) and an "ultimate salad", which can be made gluten free by removing the candied walnuts. They even put bacon & non-veggie pesto in the grilled cheese, just to really hammer the point home that you shouldn't be eating there. Ordered the ultimate salad but gf. This has got to be the most optimistic name I've ever heard. What arrived was a stone cold plate of lettuce with refrigerated chunks of butternut squash which had clearly not been "oven roasted" any time recently and instead clearly come straight out the fridge, leading them to be stringy & essentially inedible. This had the audacity to be priced at $24. I sent back this dismal excuse for a salad and ate at the Mexican next door, which believes both vegetarians, and coeliacs actually exist.

Lots of gluten free and vegan options for breakfast. Good coffee and friendly staff.

We order from here last year on accident and ended up being a new pizza favorite! Regular and their gluten free crusts are really good! Had same guy deliver to us both times this past week as we did last year. Really friendly guy and his customer service is great! See you guys next year Bob dog!

We had a fabulous meal at Kalani's, food and drinks were delicious and service was outstanding! They have good gluten-free selections for celiac people like me.

Rochelle Bening

My go-to morning coffee place. Great acai bowls, and the staff and owner are all super awesome! If you're gluten free, you can get the burrito as a bowl instead!

Gloria Chyr

Love the GF waffles!!! I can't eat grains or dairy so this place is great for the dietary restrictions, but more importantly the food is SO good. One of the best cafes I've ever been to with or without gluten. Great vibes, super nice baristas, and awesome food.

Mary Nower

Quick, tasty & reasonably priced. "Like a sausage & egg McMuffin... BUT BETTER". GF (gluten free) & veggie options

Pizza is great and it’s very festive. Great gluten free options!

Laura Ernst

Super nice staff, we were well taken care of even when waiting 10 mins for an outside table. Cute spot and the food was beyond belief. I had the huevos rancheros (they happily happily substituted the corn tortillas since I am gluten free) and their hot tea was actually hot. My boyfriend had their sweet and sour french toast and he said it was the best french toast he's ever had. We hope to return again soon!

Great food, unfortunately they had no offerings for vegetarians. My wife and I forgot to check the menu ahead of time, so that's our bad. They have great cocktails and an amazing view, so we tried to make the best of it with a selection of hors d'oeuvres, but they only had one of the meatless options available. So we had a couple salads and the zucchini with a tzatziki sauce, then ordered a couple desserts. Not the most filling meal (particularly for $122 without tip), but what we had tasted fabulous. Everything was flavorful and elegantly served. We were seated at 5:30, and they were already out of one of the hors d'oeuvres, and before 6:30 we heard them telling other people that they were out of half the things on the menu. So it seems they have some planning issues, but the server was very friendly and as helpful as you could ever ask for. We heard her spend almost 10 minutes talking through the potentially gluten free options with another table. I would not have had her patience.

Great tuna melts! On the way back from Tahoe we found this gem. Didn't have high expectations but was better than bay area tuna melts. I got mine on gluten free bagel and without cheese and that was excellent too. Hubby got his the regular way and it was really good. Not sure which bread they used but seemed like they make it in house, it was that fresh. Kids got grilled cheese and ate without complaining. Ice creams we tried: almond pistachio, butter pecan, cookies and cream. All very good. The place has holiday decor and gives a very cozy vibe.

Great food! The Short rib Benedict was gas, as was the steak and eggs. The chef even made my gluten free friend a special sauce for his birthday.

Luke Huffman

Good iced latte, great gluten free options, extremely nice people.

Jaslin Varzideh

We have gone twice here - once for our anniversary and once for my birthday (because I loved it THAT much). The staff is great, the food is amazing, and we are gluten-free, milk-free, and soy-free and they had a lot of yummy options for us!

Sharon James

My grandparents and I come here every summer, the experience and food is always phenomenal! Today we were welcomed by two nice lady’s. The food was spectacular, especially the Nutella crepe I had. My grandpa is gluten free and this year they have a new gluten free English muffin option! Overall we have a great experiences every time we step foot into this restaurant!

Kelsi Buts

Great atmosphere! The bathrooms were clean, and the outdoor area is spacious. Great stop after work or weekends. Really helpful staff, knowledgeable on the selection. Our bartender gave great non- gluten recommendations. Really enjoyed our beer, would come again!

Allergy friendly restaurant with great food and amazing views. I’m not one to write reviews but this earned one. We went here for dinner with our two kids(4 and 2) that have serious food allergies (gluten, dairy, and eggs). When we advised the staff of the allergies they sent the chef out to go over them. The chef went over all the ingredients in what we ordered and confirmed that their fry fryer was only used for fry and there was not gluten in the fryer. The chef even cooked the mahi-mahi on a piece of foil to ensure there was no cross contamination. Our kids ate all their food and really enjoyed it. My wife had the Pacific Ruben and I had the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich. Our dinner was delicious and the view of the sunset was phenomenal. The staff was great and friendly. I can’t wait for our next trip to Lake Tahoe. This place is a must visit especially if you have any allergy issues. It was amazing to be able to go out to eat and not have to deal with allergic reactions.

Good wine and food. They offer a house made gluten free bread.
