Top 30 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Downtown Sacramento

Clarissa Maloney

Gluten free: menu was pretty lacking. Our rolls were a bit bland and they won't adjust their specials, such as the $70 for Two dinner, to incorporate gluten free options even when it's a simple swap. That enough soured me to not want to come back. I found it a bit overpriced for the food we got, considering it was plainer than the regular rolls but cost the same. Go elsewhere, like Kru or Fish Face. Servers were great, it's just an administrative issue on how they run their menu for those of us with special dietary needs.

The staff was attentive, cheerful and helpful. The food was excellent and included gluten free items. We will be back.

Visited on a busy Friday night and was immediately greeted by a friendly welcome in. We had a group of 5, most of us gluten free, and the staff took great care in ensuring our food was handled properly. The pizzas were amazing, but the service is what really shines for us. Someone who I can only assume to be a manager walked up to our group, apologizing that one of the pizzas had pesto added to it by mistake. My partner didn't mind at all and actually enjoyed the pesto on his pizza. But to make up for the mistake, he later returned with a dessert pizza on the house, made gluten free so everyone in our group could enjoy. Thank you all so much, we'll be back! 😃

All around good food and service. Staff accommodated gluten free and pepper 🌶️ allergies.

Michelle Rowe

You can't go wrong at this lovely upscale establishment. You can come in jeans and a t-shirt. The decor is inviting but what will keep you coming back is the leveled up cocktails and the delicious food. Staff is super friendly! They often are booked for private event so keep that in mind when coming. You may want to call in advance. Did I mention that most of their menu is gluten free?!?

Wow is this place a treat for coffee lovers. They offer complex, delicious roasts in well crafted drinks. They offer samples at the counter and offer some lovely pastries (gluten free options!) I love a good roaster and this place knocked my socks off! My husband got the hot chocolate and loved it as well!

Vicolas

It’s probably the best Chinese food restaurant near this area! I have celiac and they actually accommodate GF options. Food is super authentic/tasty. Ordered honey walnut prawns, green bean, Sichuan beef. Definitely recommend. The service was only ok.

Jordan Hogan

A fantastic spot for breakfast! The full English tasted good and they even catered to my gluten allergy. My one critique would be that they didn’t have English bacon or hash browns as part of the “Full English”.

Candida Brown

A few years ago, my nail guy suggested this spot for a new place to check out for date night and it did not disappoint. We made this our actual go-to for low key but social vibes for more than date night. It became our spot for our 1st Valentines, celebration of a merch launch and just a chill spot for US time. The food is spot on, accommodating most of the time, options if gluten free, allergy friendly and just for preference! They have a very COOL. and Chill vibe that suits a lot of moods! I haven’t checked out their weekend sports bar atmosphere but I’ve yet to hear anything bad or any red flags that it doesn’t deliver! Our fave plates are the salmon, steak, fries (sweet potato & fancy regular) and their pasta!

Tory Smith

Perfect for celebrating our 13th anniversary! James was attentive and the entire staff made us feel special. The fresh oysters were the best I've ever had, and the clarified strawberry bourbon cocktail was incredible. As someone with celiac disease, I was thrilled with the delicious gluten-free options and knowledgeable staff. We can't wait to return!

Miriya Lynn

The staff is oh so friendly. The manager greeted & welcomed me in as soon as I walked in. Sandwiches are so delish. Pretty cool names. They have a different type of selection for chips but they are yummy. Huge variety, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. I just wish they had soup. A broccoli/cheese, chicken noodles and clam chowder would be ideal. Their onion rings and jalapeño poppers are fire too though.

Christopher Ebie

Travelling through Sacramento. Got a burger and fries. It was very good. People were friendly even though very busy. They also had gluten free buns which I must have.

Christina Knudson

Do not eat here if you have celiac disease or can’t tolerate gluten. Many items are marked GF but they contain gluten. Items are not gluten-free and are not celiac-safe if they are made in a fryer that is shared with gluten-containing items. At least two games were broken but weren’t marked as broken, so they took money even though you could not play.

Tyler Thompson

We had an amazing dining experience. The food was beyond delicious with many options including gluten free appetizers and entrees. The staff was so pleasant and knowledgeable. Must visit.

Leah Mathews

I came here a few weeks ago for a birthday brunch with a party of ten and had one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. So much so, I’m still thinking and talking about how awful it was. All of the food arrived at the table at room temperature, as if it had been sitting out too long on a counter. This was especially disconcerting when considering the hollandaise sauce, which had congealed. This happened on multiple individuals orders and was both unsafe and revolting. Many orders went largely uneaten. Every espresso drink ordered was wrong and tasted watered down. Also! They repeatedly told the person in my party with celiacs that the gluten free bun they ordered with their burger was definitely gluten free, even though the buns looked a little too nice to be gluten free. Turns out the staff lied and SHE GOT SICK! The servers were nice enough, but management was incredibly disorganized and disinterested in assisting. Don’t come here if you value not getting food poisoned. And definitely don’t come here if you have celiacs. They will lie to your face and poison you.

I came to DOCO with a friend who is gluten free dairy free and sugar free and we were not planning to get anything to eat because of all the dietary restrictions but then we saw this and it was so good. My friend had not had ice cream in 8 months but she was able to have ice cream from here and she was so happy 😁 I will say it is pricey for ice cream but it is worth it

A night owl’s 🦉 dream!! Yes, they are open late!! If you are craving for homemade cookies, this is the spot. They have a handful of different flavors of cookies, brownies and if you prefer to have your cookies a la mode, they also sell ice cream. They also have gluten free and vegan cookies. I’ve also ordered a cake online and delivered to a friend’s! This quaint shop is more of a grab and go, while you can wait till you get home to eat them, there are also tables and chairs in the center of the mall area for you to enjoy the freshly baked cookies while they are still warm. I recommend getting the six pack, because ya can’t eat JUST one 🍪

Drew Kimzey

Great service, the food was incredible. I was glad to know that they are able to make their food gluten free by request (and have some great gluten free options without needing to make a request, like the cauliflower bites)

Elizabeth H

I’m gluten and dairy-free due to celiac disease and a dairy allergy, and I’ve never been sick from eating here. Super yummy spot, and very helpful staff. Ask questions if you have food restrictions because not everything is safe, but there are quite a few things to choose from given my personal limitations.

Eric Kuxhausen

Good gluten free options

Ally Smith

I am gluten free and came here due to their website listing many gluten free options. Their sauces are labeled as gluten free however after eating 1 bite I knew it was not at all gf. There is malt vinegar in all the sauces they offer. Overall my experience wasn’t bad, but I left with a stomach hurting and they made me pay full price for a meal I literally couldn’t eat. My big issue: don’t label something gluten free if you don’t know. Include the ingredients list and let the consumer do their reading. I find it disheartening that the owners comment on every single positive review but have neglected to say anything in regards to them marketing their sauces GF and causing a reaction with my autoimmune disease.

Savannah Kopel

Came for the ramen, left with the donburi. I saw that they have gluten free noodles online but when I came in, they told me they were out. I was about to leave but the wonderful server told me that they could accommodate the chicken donburi to be gluten free. I was skeptical but wow, it was fantastic! Super tasty and great portion. Thank you!

Summer L

We always love burgers and brew. They have lots of gluten free options, including ciders.

Isa Jaymes

Honestly, we always thoroughly enjoy our visit here. I'm really impressed that they have gluten free options. Staffs always friendly and professional. The sauces are fantastic especially Alla Vodka. Just a great upscale dining experience every time.

Zina Padgett

First time experience. Very clean and open restaurant. The service was fast and friendly. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the whole menu. The chips and guacamole were great!!! Home made chips. The mole enchiladas were so tasty and fresh. All the food was delicious. They have vegan options as well. They can accommodate gluten-free free option's as well.

Ali A

Possibly better than uncle vitos ... I love their Hawaiian and specials. Their customer service is also better than uncle vitos. I cant wait to come back here again. Only issue is they don't have gluten free.

Aneissa Goss

Exceptional chocolate! Rich and healthy. Great variety. Gluten free options too.

Dana Woodward

Good gluten free options and delicious korean tacos

Daniel Castillo

They make these amazing “beer wines” that are all gluten free and taste like craft beers. Closest thing I have found to serving that in Sacramento area. Not to mention the wines are delicious/ locally grown organic. Super friendly owner and cozy location to bring some food to, enjoy the wine/beer, and check out the incredible old book library!

Rebecca K

So delicious! I love the sister restaurant in Davis, so I was super excited that they opened one in Sac. The food is incredible, really nicely spiced. They're very accommodating, you can get almost everything gluten-free, which is so refreshing! My favorites are the chicken curries and the tea leaf salad. Service was excellent as well.
