Top 43 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Pasadena

Janet Duitsman

Lovely place, nice ambiance. I'm gluten free so I had a GF pizza which was delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable about their specialty beers etc. The on tap beers change weekly. I'll be going back!

A TP

A nice place for a complete breakfast but unfortunately, the gluten free options are not for celiacs.

Tatiana Panovich

Best Vegan food in Pasadena!!! This place is so lovely and and the staff is so kind. They even hosted our rehearsal dinner some months back and I could not be happier with how everything turned out! They go above and beyond for their customers🙏✨ I love the lemonade, the caesar salad, really everything top to bottom. The desserts are SO awesome too and are *all* gluten free! The food is always fresh and appetizing. (Never too greasy like some vegan places!) You can come here time and again and know you are going to be satisfied. Highly recommend 💫🙌

Aurora Lyons

I really appreciate the gluten free bun options at Chick-fil-A. I really wish they’d bring back the spicy grilled chicken sandwich!

Marc Miller

Love the gluten free Godiva chocolate cheesecake since I have a wheat allergy. While it was very busy for dinner, we were seated in a reasonable amount of time and the service was decent. Food was good and I have eaten at this location multiple times without getting sick from cross contamination with wheat. Gluten free menu items are marked clearly on menu.

Claudia Frye

Vegan gluten free pizza that is actually good.

Timothy Papoutsakis

Had a wonderful expirience! my pad kee Mao was wonderfully and my wife's gluten free pad thai was perfect. Very knowledgeable about gluten-free requirements.

Excellent service by staff . Unfortunately tonight it was a bit sad. I Went tonight for a dinner. 3rd time coming here for rep dinners. I have a gluten allergy and was not served any appetizer and was not offered anything while I waited for the salad. I'm aware there are set courses but other restaurants kindly make gluten alternative appetizers. Instead of starving guests until the salad and entree are ready. I ordered a cranberry juice and was served 95% water and 5% juice. Tasted like someone's leftover water. Quite gross but decided to just skip and have a cup of tea they of course have no honey. I've had a better experience before so I was quite sorry to see the restaurant offerings are not what they used to be.

Ive been glutened here countless times by the impossible beef bowl. Had to stop ordering from them. Be warned.

Tony Rogers

For the health-conscious, Star Leaf is a dream come true. Their menu features a variety of gluten-free, vegan, and paleo options that are as tasty as they are nutritious. It’s rare to find a place that makes healthy eating so indulgent.

Great fish and a cute interior. Very gluten free knowledgeable which made the experience even better.

Reshma Patel

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an incredible experience. Michelin-trained chef, Dean Yasharian and his team, including Austin really outdid themselves. From the attentive service, the amazing food, to the perfect wine pairings, I am so impressed by our experience. I couldn't believe they were able to accommodate my dietary restorations: gluten free and dairy free! All without skimping on flavor. I had an incredible dairy-free lobster bisque for the first time in years! “A Taste of Perle” menu was amazing!!!!

Rachel Flynn

Was so excited to discover their brunch menu! I have a gluten allergy and called to find out if they had options. They had sooo many gluten-free options! Many items were GF that were unexpected. Like the friend shrimp (cornstarch)!! My friend and I ordered so much food as it was such a treat to have things that aren’t always GF. Everything was delicious and so were the cocktails. Servers were amazing and knowledgeable about gluten allergies! Thank you!!

Patty Sullivan

We love this place. Great gluten free options and service is the best.

Renaissance Marie Austin

Let's just say I did the yummy dance. The fried tofu took me away. The dipping sauce was sensational with every bite. And my gluten free rice noodle soup with wild mushrooms. Unbelievably good. Broth, broth, broth. So aromatic.

Great brisket and rib. They don't put sugar in the meat other than in their bbq sauce. The nachos and taco soft shells are all blue corn and gluten free, and their cocktails are quite spectacular. I saw one of them come in a chest full of mesquite smoke!! Although the sports bar vibe is not to my taste I can count on the food, drinks, and service to be on point. Can't go wrong with this place for the price, As a side note, I thought the tomahawk was one of the only items to be eye watering expensive. Stay away from that and you and your group will have a great time for the price!

Jamie Cho

Their burgers are just so delightful. I love their cheese burger and it’s truly so classic! (But you can tweak it if you want to!) Every element of the burger is just on point! The brioche bun, juicy hearty patty, fresh veggies, and their fries..... everything is just so scrumptious! They also have a variety of options if you want to go veg only, I think vegan also, and gluten free as well. They have plenty of outdoor seating with the view of historic Pasadena Playhouse. Service is great as well :) We just keep going back to this place because their burgers are addicting and unforgettable.

I love their Matcha and now I've had their Mocha which is also good. Once I shared their Tahini Brownie because it was gluten free. Good but easy too dense for me. Hit my stomach like a brick. I wish there were other options. Why 4 stars if everything is good because it is expensive and small. For the price it should be better or maybe a little bit bigger. I do like that they have outdoor seating because during Covid it's nice to be able to have coffee with a friend and stay on one place.

Anthony

You MUST try the sandwich. My favorite deli in LA they have all of the Italian deli meat you could want all freshly imported from italy They have gluten free pasta that actually tastes like pasta and a ton of other things directly from italy

Vanessa Wade

Only reason for the 4 stars is because $23 for a gluten free breakfast burrito is really not worth it..I've been wanting to try forever, and decided today's the day. Now don't get me wrong , the taste is immaculate, and to be able to go somewhere and get a gluten free burrito is amazing. Maybe for the price if it were bigger maybe would be ok .The burrito is tiny , and I don't even eat alot

Sophia Mitchell

A little expensive but the food is healthy and delicious. No problem eating here gluten free (Celiac disease). I like that the menu changes periodically

Hannah

This place gives the vibes of that Italian place you went to as a kid in your hometown. It is cute, the service is friendly, and the portions are rather sizable. It’s good, just not great. The Caesar has major mayo flavors going on, everything needs a bit more salt, and they clearly use cream in their carbonara. And onions? Which is kind of random, as cream nor onions belong in a carbonara. I will say that they have gluten free pasta and pizza options, so that is a plus!

Christian Hericks

A neat little coffee shop. Some may consider it a bit 'hipster' for their focus on the current health fads (gluten free, soy, vegan options). The place was full at 10am,almost overcrowded. There is however, a generous amount of seating for the size of the joint. All drink and food prices were a bit steep, but quality matched the price. My only complaint is that the floor was rather dirty for a coffee joint... They did have simple concrete flooring so it wasn't a big deal, it just seemed odd that there was so much debris for the style of the joint and food/drink options.

We have been fans of Little Flower for years and couldn’t imagine anyone else doing the desserts and cake for our wedding. We had a dessert bar for our guests and a smaller, two-tier personal cake just for us as the bride and groom. We met with Stephanie at the Little Flower location and got to sample the cookies and other desserts that we wanted. She provided great ideas of a variety of types of desserts (gluten free, chocolate, fruit, etc.) for the dessert bar. We worked directly with May to create a custom two-tier cake (see photo) with whatever flavor combinations we wanted and she utilized our colors and design to create a beautifully elegant cake. Not only did it look amazing, but tasted fresh and delicious as well as all of our desserts. Their prices were very reasonable for a 100-person wedding and I definitely would recommend using them for any type of event.

Favorite authentic Japanese restaurant. They have all the staples - natto, ume shiso, ama ebi, uni, and for the gluten intolerant they even have gluten free sky sauce. The fish and service are top notch and it's small and family owned so it's warm, welcoming, and not pretentious at all. Feels like coming home to eat dinner.

Alex Ojeda

Loved the gluten free crust. Pizza is all plant base. Love that there are many other options to choose from. A must go.

C Ryan

Breakfast burrito no tortilla, gluten free, yum..

Marina

So yummy! Unique Chinese food. Hong Kong and Singapore-based. Able to do gluten-free for some items. Check out this gem.

Jarod Chase

Great customer service however, I was expecting to be able to sample the food ahead of ordering it. Also, the place is packed with smaller tables and many visitors. I believe there are more visitors than seating. It is great to find a place that is conscious of the food they serve with a variety of vegan and gluten free options, however, why do they serve fried chicken? I came here to follow pursuit of my nearby Urban Plate and Lemonade. I always wonder if these places are using organic foods or not? They have a few plugs and wifi, (which is a must for me) but more plugs would be helpful as you cannot always sit where one is accessible. I work mobile so I would spend hours in this place. Great place overall.

Rachel Flynn

A great spot for quick delicious food. Was in town for a conference at the convention center and this was an easy walk and super fast. The menu isn’t 100% clear on their gluten-free options but turns out most of the noodle bowls can be done with GF rice noodles. They were so good and fresh. The server was very knowledgeable about GF options and very accommodating of my allergy. My friend enjoyed her gluten noodles too!

Jamie Cho

Not only the food is so delicious, but the level of care, the standard for quality and the kindness of the owner, Ed, are simply unmatched. We catered from M Grill for our event and the food accommodated our meat-lovers, vegan and gluten free diet. The food arrived on-time, piping hot, so well prepared to wow the guests with beautiful presentation. People loved the food and everyone was impressed! Ed was so easy to work with, kind, generous, and his true love, passion and dedication really shined through every step of the way. Strongly recommend M Grill for any event to please and wow a crowd. We look forward to catering from them again.

Bartender was very knowledgeable of drinks which were amazing I recommend the African wine. Food was good had variety of gluten free options ( butternut squash soup) omg it was heavy Excellent time with friends

Steff M

They have gluten free, dairy free options. Food was great.

Valentina Proo Garcia

Best Vanilla Bean Latte I've ever had! 😋 Perfection: proportion of sweet to coffee flavor was spot on! "The Favorite" is definitely my favorite - egg, bacon, avocado, tomato and red onions - and I asked for it in a gluten-free tortilla. Yum! All the staff are friendly and professional! Establishment is very clean with several tables & chairs. My new favorite coffee shop!

Toby Ameson

Beautiful, royal- style decor (felt like I was in the Beast's castle from Beauty and the Beast), plush comfy seating, top-notch Frech food with Gluten Free options (best pre-ordered with reservations) and European style high tea available. Pricey but excellent food. Service is included in the bill. There was also a Spanish guitar player playing gorgeous arrangements of famous songs from every era in a pleasant and quiet way.

I’ve been living in Pasadena since 2011 and somehow never knew about Perry’s Joint… literally a few blocks away from me. That’s one thing that truly surprised me. The fact that it’s so hidden it’s not wonder it remained a total mystery for so long. I’m glad I finally found out, feel like a true local now. 99% of the sandwich places I’ve been I ask “hey do you have gluten free? Can you do a lettuce wrap?” And they go “uhhhh no sorry” …at Perry’s they said absolutely and made me the best lettuce wrap I’ve ever had. EVER. And that was just one sandwich on the menu, there are so many amazing things I can’t wait to try!

Steve Rose

Waitstaff are very knowledgeable. Miguel was amazing in regards to helping a friend with celiac to select a gluten free meal. We will continue to be back to Mijares.

"Welcome home!" "What? Oh. Oh, I get it. That's kinda weird." My first thought, upon being greeted by the staff at HBB. And certainly not the last time I thought that, as my friend and I hung out for a bit, seeing other people come and go, being seen off with, "come home again!" Strange, no matter how many times I heard it, but that bubbly, exuberant behavior was demonstrative of one of the awesome things about HBB: the staff here is REALLY, REALLY nice. And genuinely so! It's not often that I call out service, but it's also not every day that I just hang out for half an hour chatting with staff, especially when I really need to run. "But what about the drinks?!," you ask! "Fantastic!," I say! While I only tried a bit of my friend's almond "milk" tea with boba, I can say that it was probably one of the best-cooked boba I've had in recent recollection - granted, I haven't ordered boba in a while, so... as for the tea itself, if you've ever tried almond tofu dessert, you'll know exactly what it tasted like. I myself ordered one of their chocolate iced signature coffees, which was equally fabulous, and also insanely strong: so much so that my body actually was not too happy about the caffeine intake, but that's an unrelated matter. The drink itself was great, and very similar to a cold chocolate milk. Both drinks fell a little on the sweeter side, but not unbearably so. And, a key point is that they don't use real milk: their whole thing is dairy, gluten free, so their "milk" is actually made out of palm seed, I believe, and sweetened with raw and brown sugar. Worth a try! ***Accessibility Info*** Venue - Seating is a bit limited, with a single regular height long table. All the others were bar counter height, which is fine for holding your drinks, but not ideal if you're there to do some work (they have outlets), or chatting with someone who isn't eye level. Bathroom - Didn't check them out.
