Top 25 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Costa Mesa

Tara Hudson

Absolutely delicious! I had the butternut squash enchiladas and the chocolate mousse, along with a mocktail. I appreciate a vegan restaurant that has plenty of satisfying gluten free options, which Seabird does. The service was friendly and attentive. Enthusiastically recommended!!

Mackenzie Cruz

The food is always so delicious and great quality. It can get busy and crowded at times, and around lunch in weekdays, good luck! But they do a great job being careful about cross contact with food options. I have Celiac and they are careful about gluten free sandwich preparation.

I am OBSESSED with the gluten-free brownie, like top 5 of my LIFE. I'm not often in a pizza mood & love veggie-forward dishes so I ordered the 3-dish veggie offering called Farmers Choice for only $16.50. The sweet potato was cooked perfectly and so darn tasty. The broccolini hit the spot. And I was pleasantly surprised by the cauliflower combo of heat and mint.

My mom and I had an amazing brunch experience. The avocado toast was the best we’ve ever had along with their coffee. Lots of gluten free options too. Our server, Mia was so friendly, kind and attentive! Beautiful and peaceful outdoor patio. I highly recommend this spot!

Best healthy option Mochi donut! Guilt free like they advertise, gluten free and with added protein?! But the best part is the taste! The flavors are unmatched and creative and nothing compares! Often imitated hardly duplicated! I recommend this don’t for breakfast or any gathering any party any function HITS every time I order !!

Second time ordering from here and obsessed. The Japanese Sweet Potato soup is out of this world; one of the best soups I’ve had. The soccata is amazing as well. Pizzas are wonderful. I’m very pleased with all of the gluten-free and vegan or dairy free options. 10/10.

NOT GLUTEN FREE: Shouldn’t Advertise as Gluten Free. You cook your so called GF chips in the same oil as everything else that’s not GF. Good thing I asked. Didn’t matter though, got cross contaminated eating the GF tacos and was sick for 2 days.

Jen C. Bullington

Great food and really good at accommodating for gluten free eaters.

Fun little spot. Good quality ingredients. Not a full service facility but just a great pizza place for a date or to take the kids. Everything is pretty good! Kale salad is bomb by itself or we usually put it on top of the pizza. Gluten free stuff too.

Dillon Carlyon

These are really the most finely crafted sandwiches you'll find! Every single one is so amazingly delicious! The gluten free wrap that they use is also very good! They also serve breakfast and coffee! Couldn't recommend it more! The Maddock Melee, the tuna melt, and the Perfect Burger are my favorites.

Emily Vizena

Nice option to get takeout last minute. Lots of options which I love! Everything from sushi, vegan food, gluten free, acai bowls.

Excellent Cafe, great menu and many breakfast items. Also features gluten-free a n vegan items. Great food.

Jeffrey Nessen

This is a fantastic place. The location is convenient to local business, the freeway, the mall and the theater. The food is excellent. They have a wife selection of seafood, including a really bar with daily selection of oysters. There are gluten free options and they are very allergy friendly. Overall I would recommend this place to any seafood lover looking for a nice upscale plane to dine.

Negina Kolesar

I loved my experience here! Gluten free option are listed on the menu. Not too much sauce, so you can really enjoy the freshness. The staff could be better informed about the wine and sake list as far as flavor profiles and pairing recommendations. Shane seemed to really enjoy making the dishes, and he was quick to interact with dinners.

Valary Sanders

All I can say is WOW about the deliciousness sandwiches! If a sandwich could be called pure artistry, this would be it. The Coco Cubano is crazy good. And the Black and Blue Lagoon is pure decadence. Loved the Greek Goddess salad too. Can’t wait to try more! Happy they have gluten free and vegan options - makes it easy to order for a group and cover everyone’s dietary needs!

Melissa Chelius

The Best new restaurant at South Coast Plaza! Conveniently placed by Macy's Men and Saks Fifth- it's easy to park or Valet and walk in. The food is absolutely sensational. Freshly prepared, well seasoned, and a great variety. Gluten free options are marked on the menu. Wine list is well appointed. There was also a pre fixe menu special when we went as well. Great for lunches or date night!

Ryan Gable

Best poke place around. I live in Fullerton but whenever we are in Costa Mesa we make it a point to stop and get poke here. They have so many good toppings and for my wife even have gluten-free options. Would definitely recommend it for anybody who's looking for some good poke.

Melissa

They have vegan options! (And gluten free)

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Social and it was phenomenal. The head chef, Jeffrey Boullt, crafted a custom 5-course menu for us that fit our guests’ dietary restrictions (some vegan, some gluten free, some allergies, some small children). Every course was beautifully presented and delicious. We were blown away by his talent. Prior to the dinner, we had some preparatory phone calls with Marisa, who gathered all of our details and coordinated all aspects of the evening. She made the process easy, provided a quote to us the same day as our initial phone call, and even went so far as to print our menus with custom designs based on the “vibe” of our wedding - such a thoughtful surprise! We truly appreciated the personalized service from the entire team at Social. It was the perfect venue for our wedding-eve. We will definitely be back!

I have celiac and eating out safely is tough. I have eaten here before and they always seem very knowledgeable about what has gluten and waht is safe. I ordered online with the items I typically expect to be gluten free, but as I know items can change sometimes I put a note to not include any gluten containing items as I have gluten allergy. They sent my order with a note and were careful not to include any gluten. So appreciative of them taking it seriously. Even sent packs of gluten free soy sauce.

Descanso Restaurant is right next to Mokkohi Shabu Shabu and The Kebab Shop or The Shops at Mesa Verde. Tons of amply parking and additional spots to visit around the vicinity. Ambience was clean and customer service wasn't too bad. Overall a fun experience and can't wait for them to open up at The Grove in Los Angeles. We had the Clasico Guacamole Hass Avocado, Lime, White Onion, Serrano Chiles, Cilantro, Tomato on the side and Tortilla Chips Crispy Carnitas Skillet Seared Slow Cooked Pork, Pico de Gallo, Pickled Jalapeños, Refried Pinto Beans, Shaved Onion, Serrano Chiles, Micro Cilantro and Corn Tortillas. LOVE this about the restaurant which is a WIN IMO Only fresh, high quality ingredients sourced from local farms. They do not cook with lard and don’t believe in can openers. A majority of their menu is gluten free
