Top 26 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Pacific Grove

Every single item on the menu is worth trying! The pizzas are epic, including the gluten free crust, however the regular crust is a notch above. The truffle flavoring is incredible. The menu is consistent as is the quality so you can come back again and again to give everything a try. Must order the cauliflower wings every time though. Salads are a little heavy on the dressing but still delicious. Everyone is treated like family here.

In this charming street you’ll find Happy Girl Kitchen. Most of the food and drinks are home-made, and they also have a shop where you can buy their home-made products, from marmalade and gluten-free bread to bath salts. We enjoyed some good coffee, cake, avocado toast and marmalade toast. They have many vegetarian and vegan options as well as delicious gluten-free bread and pastries. Definitely recommend to visit this place!

Very good food, but to me, it's a little pricey. Gluten-free food could b why.

Amazing gluten free lemon cake and tasty oat milk mocha! A cozy place for a morning snack.

What a lovely team that works here! There were 4 of us for dinner with a small dog and it was a cold night. The team set a table inside for us and our puppy and then wowed us with fantastic service and a wonderful dinner. We highly recommend! Menu has great wine and cocktails and a nice variety in their menu with seafood, vegetarian and gluten free options.

My favorite go-to for years. As a kid and a teen we were always at the Bagel Bakery and I thought for sure when the Bagel Kitchen took over I would follow the Bagel Bakery.....until I went gluten free and found the Bagel bakery didnt have GF bagels....and were actually quite rude about it. The Bagel Kitchen embodies the original Bagel Bakery for sure. Kind, friendly staff who remember you, are SO friendly and dont just throw stuff on your bagel....you can tell they make it how they would want to eat it. Its almost my comfort food now.

Very generous portion. I took the egg Benedict and they were delicious. They also have gluten free bread. The servers are very nice and helpful. Parking was quite easy to find on a Friday.

We ended up at il vecchio after the wait at first awakenings was too long, and I’m so glad we ended up here instead! Very cozy and unique vibe, and the food was GREAT. I was especially impressed by the gluten free pancake - you won’t be able to tell the difference. Order it with fresh blueberries :) I got the eggs Benedict with ham - the hollandaise sauce was really good and it came with TONS of ham Highly recommend!

Ariane Frappier

The food was absolutely amazing. I had grilled octopus, gluten free homemade bread, and amazing gf homemade pasta. Probably the best I've ever had. I'm not sure what precautions they take but they understood I needed gluten free. I'm pretty sensitive and I didn't get sick. Service was excellent. I'll definitely be back.

Tucked yards away from the ocean along Sunset Drive, for starters, Fishwife provides a beautiful breath of Pacific fresh air! The seafood is fresh and mouthwateringly delicious. The menu prices reflect an excellent value. With a full bar, child's plates, gluten free and classic fish choices, there are plenty of options to enjoy and satisfy! The seaside, organic ambiance and atmosphere boasts turquoise accents, wide windows and a rustic stone wall. We loved visiting this intimate restaurant and will again, next time we find ourselves joyously coasting along the 17 Mile Drive near Monterey.

Ordered off the locals dinner menu. Great deals and my meal was delicious. I have gluten and dairy allergies which they were graciously able to accommodate. I grew up around the corner. Glad to be able to come back to the beautiful location on Lovers point. Make sure you make a reservation or you might risk waiting 30 minutes + for a table. It’s always packed.

I love the food here! Excellent gluten free and vegetarian options, always super fresh and flavorful. Such a hidden gem. The last two times I've been here Vanessa has been my server and she's so friendly and helpful. Thanks Vanessa!

ELLE STREETART

Incredible meal. Celiac and was very comfortable. Can’t wait to go back.

Sandra Davis

Cute spot. Gluten Free bread allows your to switch stuff in and out, but certainly not a great place for any serious gluten allergies. Super yummy, extra spicy chai! Staff were rushed and didn't seen confident and knowledgable when asked about the menu. Really cute interior, homestyle vibe.

veda

probably the best service we had on our trip to california. they were so attentive and accommodating when informed of dietary restrictions! gluten free people, go here! the pasta was great.

Three hungry women (a Vegetarian, a Gluten Free & Foodie) were looking for an “Good” Italian restaurant for dinner, and discovered La Mia Cuchina in Pacific Grove. Service staff was very attentive, he explained the specials and was responsive to our many questions. They had multiple vegetarian options (The Eggplant Parmesan was very good). They could accommodate some of their entrees and had gluten free pasta (Bolognese pasta) They offered two gluten free desserts: Crème Brûlée and Sorbet. The Crème Brûlée was delicious. Our Foodie found the Calamari appetizer was well prepared, thinly sliced and tender. The homemade lasagna with meat sauce was flavorful but would have preferred a more traditional layered structure.

Jeremy Wilson

Delicious food and very friendly staff! I'm gluten free and they were able to accommodate my needs.

Cynthia

A local favorite. Great music, service and food. It was raining today and it was great to sit next to the cozy fireplace. They have great gluten free options as well. Very good wine list and cocktails for your enjoyment. Rodrigo, Angel and Pedro have worked at Fandango for over 30 years and do an outstanding job! Service 5 star, ambience 5 star, food 5 star, gluten free options 5 star! Outstanding experience! You will feel like you are visiting France😀!

Megan Guidi

A lovely addition to Pacific Grove! Red House is our usual favorite, but we decided to mix things up and we were so glad we did! Such a cute location - loved the tie ins to honor the Winston Hotel throughout the decor. Delicious food and was thrilled to learn they had gluten free bread available! I can imagine this place is packed on weekends, but we were in and out with great service on a weekday!

Lori Helm

I am a coffee snob & this coffee was delicious. I got the cappuccino with macadamia nut milk. I also loved the gluten-free poppyseed muffin.

Annie Elliott

Been here a couple of times and while the service isn’t the fastest, the staff does a great job making sure you are taken care of. Yvonne in particular has really looked out for us (vegan/gluten free restrictions) and the food is great!

Alex Foster

They do not advertise gluten free items on their menu but if you mention your food allergy, the staff will gladly point out what you can and cannot eat. I got the spicy seafood green curry and it was absolutely delicious. Super flavorful and just the right amount of spice. Portions are decent. Not too large, not too small. My husband got the green curry with chicken and he loved it. Prices are what they are, being in Pacific Grove and tourist season, at that. We got out with waters, one large beer, two curry dishes and two rice sides for $72. But the food was worth it and I packed my leftovers. It was that good.

Kathryn Roberts

Delicious empanadas, good gluten free options (mbuja!), and traditional hot mate! Awesome back patio and traditional Paraguayan arts and handicrafts on the walls.

Cynthia

Yoko is so sweet. Outstanding menu and wine. The best service and the food is outstanding! They are also kind enough to provide gluten free options. Great food and service🍷😊

Located across from Lovers' Point in Pacific Grove, this cozy place brings so much more than just tasty food to one's dining experience. We were greeted so warmly and seated in area that allowed us to really enjoy the panoramic views of Pacific Grove. The menu of seafood, pastas, salads and wonderful appetizers is a delight to both omnivores and vegan-gluten conscious eaters. As for the ambiance, a bit of color and some plants would really add more charm to this MUST vist place!
