Top 50 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots Across San Luis Obispo

Peggy Hill

Drove 40 min to get a gluten-free donut and I was not disappointed! Super moist, delicous, and mouth watering! Service was prompt and friendly, toilets clean! Great place to hang out! They have a ton of donuts to choose from!

So thankful to have a gluten free option. Everything I tried was great!

Burger Village in San Luis Obispo is a standout for anyone who loves variety—whether you’re into classic meats, exotic proteins, or plant-based patties. Here’s my take: ⸻ 🍔 Proteins for Every Palate • Organic Classic Beef: A reliably juicy, grass-fed patty. Goes great with cheddar, roasted peppers, and their signature sauce.  • Exotic Meats: Think elk, bison, lamb, turkey—and yes—boar, salmon, and even ostrich. A reviewer said their ostrich tasted “like a gamier turkey burger” and enjoyed the creative toppings pairing . Several folks name the elk burger “amazing.”  • Chicken, Salmon & More: You can also go with a chicken sandwich or salmon, each customizable with loads of toppings. () • Vegan/Plant-Based Options: Includes black bean, cauliflower, gluten-free veggie, and Impossible patties—with vegan buns, cheese, and spicy veganaise. Vegans love the flexibility: “Have multiple options on what type of vegan burger you want and you can put any toppings on it.”  ⸻ 🎨 Toppings & Build Your Own The topping game is on point: sautéed onions, mushrooms, pico de gallo, guac, fire-roasted peppers, jalapeños, fried eggs, applewood bacon, vegan mozzarella—the list goes on. There’s also wraps or lettuce/ gluten-free buns, making it easy to build a burger that fits your vibe. () ⸻ 🍻 Beer Bar & Aesthetic Step inside and you’re met with a bright, open layout: a sleek bar lined with a dozen-plus taps and a fridge of bottled beer. Draft beer lovers will delight—over 30 on tap, including local craft selections. One Yelp fan put it simply: “Huge on‑tap beer selection… can’t wait to go back.”  Wood accents, brick walls, and big windows give the space an airy, relaxed feel—perfect for a casual date night or post-work hang. ⸻ 🌿 Sides & Extras • Fries & Tots: Hand-cut fries, waffle fries, tots, and sweet potato fries—crispy and well-seasoned. • Appetizers: Vegan cauliflower tenders, loaded fries, falafel, even Impossible tenders. • Salads & Shakes: Hearty salads (like the signature tostada salad) and organic shakes round out the menu. () ⸻ 👥 Atmosphere & Service The vibe is friendly and laid-back. One SLO local noted that service was “super friendly and attentive,” and that it’s usually easy to grab a seat—even on weekends.  ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict Why it rocks: • Stellar protein variety—classic, exotic, vegan • Topping freedom meets creative combos • Great beer selection in an open, inviting space • Solid sides, shakes, and eco-conscious ethos (organic, peanut-free, gluten-free) What to note: • Exotic burgers can be pricier • Buns (especially brioche) can be a tad dry—ask for vegan or gluten-free options ⸻ ⭐ Rating 4.5 / 5 – Burger Village strikes an excellent balance between adventurous eats and comfort classics, all served in a welcoming, beer-friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re craving elk or an Impossible stack, there’s something to elevate your burger game. Next time you’re in downtown SLO, pair your custom build with a cold craft brew—your tastebuds (and Insta feed) will thank you.

A safe place for gluten free folks to dine. The food is always fresh and tasty.

Had an excellent lunch experience at Luna today. Service was great from start to finish. They have plenty of vegan/vegetarian and gluten free options. We chose the cauliflower tacos and paella. Both were exceedingly delicious. Ambience is fun with sunny colors. Highly recommend this place!

Flour House is my all time favorite pizza on the Central Coast. Maybe even in the US. Every time they deliver top notch quality food. I'm in love with the Arugula bresaola salad. I'm celiac and I can eat there gluten free pizza. The crust is incredible. Even my friends love it that can eat the regular pizzas. My husband who is Italian, loves the regular pizzas and he also says it's his favorite pizza in California. If your with a big group meter Mondays hits the spot I hear! They have cocktails and a great wine selection. Cool ambiance and a lovely patio in back that is cozy and cute!

Our favorite breakfast spot when visiting SLO! Sally Loo’s was recommended from friends that live in the area and we couldn’t have been more glad we came. Hands down they have the best breakfast food we have ever tried, all while being allergy friendly and quick to get the orders out. I don’t think I have ever seen a cafe that has knocked out a line of 30 people so quickly, all while keeping the food quality top notch. My wife is allergic to gluten and eggs, so the restaurants we can go to are limited. Sally Loo’s handles allergy restrictions effectively and efficiently. Every restaurant can learn from them.

I love this place! The vegetarian food is delicious and fresh. It is a great place for people who don't eat gluten, Ethiopian food is naturally gluten-free. I always feel fantastic after eating here - I feel light, nourished and satisfied, it is just right! The portion size is perfect. I have favorites, such as the Goman, lentil dishes and gluten-free teff brownies (!) - but every item I have tried I totally loved. Even if you don't think you like vegetarian food, give this place a try, it is delish! The ambiance is fun and friendly and the music sets a pleasant and lively vibe. Highly recommend!

Melanie Reynolds

This is one of my favorite restaurants! They can make anything but samosas gluten free, and can make most sauces dairy free. I love being able to have naan again! My favorites are lamb boti kebab, tandoori chicken, chicken vindaloo, vegetable pakora, chicken pakora. I've heard their chicken tikka masala is wonderful, but haven't had them make it dairy-free for me yet.

Linnea's is my favorite cafe! So many tea options, and the workers are welcoming and nice! The back garden is very relaxing and a great place to study or catch some live music. Many vegan and gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. Tea and coffee loyalty cards can help you save some money if you become a repeat customer (like me)!

Mandy Hatcher

I get what all the hype is about; Giuseppe's is legit delish. We ordered Margherita pizza and Cima di Rapa pasta, both gluten free. We had the Gelato trio for dessert - we tried pistachio, butter pecan, and lemon - pistachio was our fave. We look forward to eating there again, and appreciate so many gluten free options.

I really enjoyed the food. The gluten-free pizza was surprisingly good!

This is a great place to have an easy, casual, fun group gathering! We just did lunch with a group of about 22 of us there. We used the “front” area of the restaurant (closest to the street). Lots of room to mix and mingle. They have both booths and bigger tables. We used the big high-top table for all the food. The parking is super easy. It’s close to Cal Poly (if that matters for you). You don’t have to deal with parking downtown. The food is good! We were even able to get a gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese for one of our guests with dietary restrictions. Bill and Mario took great care of us (thanks, guys!!). They do have outside seating if you prefer to be outside. They also have a few arcade games for the kids. I did a drop-in birthday party here a few years ago. Definitely consider this place for your next group gathering!

My wife has a gluten allergy (Celiac)and must be very careful to prevent cross -contamination. Of course we were looking at the donuts and not at everything the young lady was doing. When she reached in to get the donuts we asked nicely if she had changed her glove. In the snottiest way possible she said, "I just put it on right in front of you! We don't use tongs on the GF donuts!" Well excuse me! The other SLODOCO location we usually frequent DOES. How are we supposed to know the protocol is different in the different locations? Her condescending tone and snotty attitude was absolutely shocking. The atmosphere was strange... Some guy sitting at the counter pigging out on food that had obviously been brought in from somewhere else... Just a weird vibe. Donuts were goid but the attitude of the young lady was atrocious. Good thing my wife was with me or I would have made a scene about her attitude.

Went in for a late lunch on a Tuesday. It was pretty quiet with just some regulars. I got a gluten free Luna burger. It was excellent!! My boyfriend got the Bogy burger and some onion rings and thoroughly enjoyed both as well. I wish we had saved room for a milkshake because they looked delicious. The staff was excellent but Jenny, in particular, is an absolute gem! Soooo kind, friendly, and attentive. Would 100% go back!

Mario Rachel

Our host, Christopher was so knowledgeable with items on the menu and sensitive to my gluten allergies; double checking on items to make sure they were safe for me to enjoy. He came back to check on us multiple times as did other waiters to refill our water glasses. The Nada Colada mocktail was to die for. Be prepared to eat art as every dish had the appearance of a masterpiece, which I appreciate. I gave 4/5 stars on food as I do feel the flavors could be elevated on some dishes such as the cauliflower soup and coconut pie. We will be back and are delighted that our furr babies can join us out on the patio. Views of creekside made for a fine dining experience.

A cute crepe and panini shop a block away from the main downtown street. The service was good, crepes even better. A lot of gluten free options. We will be back!

Jeff

My wife was looking for some gluten-free options, and this bakery had a few of them. She ended up having a gluten-free cupcake, which was very delicious. Everyone was very friendly and the shop was very clean and nice and well decorated.

A good variety of GF options!

Christine DeLozier

This is not just a restaurant, but an experience. There’s an old-school 1970’s/1980’s Americana vibe, and the food is REALLY good! Had Bennedict and the hollandaise was just ok (probably a mix), but a nice thick slab of ham on gluten free bread and perfectly crispy hash browns and fruit, which tasted very fresh. And of course anyone who stops MUST eat cake there, which is super fluffy and whipped creamy. The pink one is what they’re famous for

This place has the BEST GF Gluten free pizza! You will not be disappointed.

I ordered the iced vanilla bean latte here and it was delicious! Not too sweet, very well balanced flavor. Would come here again for the drinks. I originally seeked out this coffee shop in particular because other reviews mentioned gluten free pastries. As a celiac l would like to give feedback from that perspective… There were two gluten-free pastry options. However, they were both on separate plates touching other gluten pastries. If the GF pastries were on the plate together, rather than touching other gluten-containing items, they would be safer to eat for people allergic to gluten. Please consider for the future! (: Anyways, staff was friendly and the atmosphere was good too. Even the fellow patrons were super nice. Good vibes all around.

The boneless wings are coated and fried in a gluten free flour and taste great! The staff were very kind about confirming with the kitchen that the wings were indeed gluten free. The manager even came out with the recipe for the wings.

skip the gluten-free pancakes :( Dry and tasteless gf pancakes, and I know from experience that good gf pancakes are attainable with the right ingredients. They were a nice size, though. Plus, the waitress ignored my request for more syrup and butter, which is a very unusual request coming from me, but something had to be done to those discs! LOL

We just love their baked goods! The families favorites are the cinnamon rolls. I am gluten-intolerant and I am so happy to have found delicious soft, gewy chocolate chip cookies and other! The sizes are perfect for the price you pay, and the products are guaranteed fresh!!!! Even after 3 d those cinnamon rolls are still soft and yummy! The cookies hold up longer anyway! The staff is always friendly, professional and welcoming. I will drive miles to get good items! Thank you for being awesome!
