Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across San Luis Obispo

Jordan Hardy

Gluten free donuts are inedible. Absolutely disgusting

High hopes, but kind of a letdown. First off, 87.00 dollars for two burgers with fries, a glass of wine and an iced tea seems a bit much. Was expecting it to wow us. They have gluten free options there. The gluten free bun was not prepared well and completely fell apart after one bite. Wishing I would have just skipped the bun. Fries are in a dedicated fryer. The fries were all just pieces... All broken up. The iced tea was pretty good. The staff was nice but a bit aloof. Really wanted to like the place, but thought it was just mediocre and overly priced.

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

Gypsy Chappell

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

Manuel P

Excellent food and plenty of Gluten Free options

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.

Gluten free pizza, wings, and tots

Shachar bar

Really cool place with many seating options. The service was very friendly and professional. The food itaelf is very good - Italian flavours as they ahould be nad not an American interpretation. Also all Pizzas can be served as Gluten free.

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.

Betsy Turner

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!

Bridget

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.

Jason Staczek

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

Ive had so many pies delivered from Ginos in SLO I can’t even give an accurate number, they are consistently awesome!! Best Gluten free pie ive ever had!!

Caoilainn Barger

Best pizza shop around. Gluten free and vegan options are excellent. Staff is always super friendly and helpful. Blessed that this is my neighborhood pizza place.

Zachary Ruiz

Great selection of donuts! Good mix of donuts, croissants, and gluten free/vegan options. Lots of flavors you won't see in a regular donut shop, like the pictured maple bacon bar (which was great for breakfast).

Andrew Hughes

It's a Trader Joe's! Not huge, but good sized and similar layout to other Trader Joe's. They have my favorite gluten free bread (when toasted), at least that I've found in the states. They also have yummy gluten free coffee cake muffins, gluten free pancake/waffle mix (and toaster waffles), and delicious ice cream!

Hadley Weyerich

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!

Mandy Hatcher

Delicious food. Great patio. Ideal location. Lots of gluten free options, including dessert!!!

Vernessa Altman

Clean, great selection, competitive prices, excellent sushi, gluten selection is vast.

Thea Blackwell

this place is wonderful! their gluten free options are super yummy. I have celiac and I have not had any issues going to this bakery! they have a variety of goodies (from your usual bakery items to some unique items that I had not even heard of). staff was super friendly as well!!

Steven Lee

Very nice small bakery with an interesting variety of items. Cinnamon rolls, chocolate zucchini bread, and gluten items. Staff always friendly and helpful.

Justin Hall

I had a phenomenal experience I always have had amazing service here. Definitely my favorite Italian dining in San luis obispo county! Franchesco always gives us amazing service the food is amazing I had the seafood pasta special was to die for! My gf had the gluten free pasta in a spicy red sauce! Amazing! All the wines selections we were advised on were all amazing truly a dining experience that's magical everytime can't rave about it enough! Every aspect of our meal was amazing! If you have been you must!

Amir Shevat

Wonderful service and delicious food. Lots of gluten free options which my wife loved

Jay Tkachuk

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!

Anna Carlon

A good variety of GF options!

Andrea Frick

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.

I went to a Thai restaurant to eat out while I was in the midst of a gluten-free diet. The volume is unique to America. The taste was surprisingly light and I was satisfied that I was able to eat a lot and take it home. Coconut soup is exquisite! ️

Looking for a get away on Christmas Day we decided to try the Apple Farm. We have stopped by the restaurant numerous times and enjoyed our time. Luckily we were able to get a room for 2 nights! We had an amazing experience from check in to check out. Every staff member we met was friendly and helpful. You can tell they love their jobs! At check in we were greeted by beautiful Christmas decorations, Chardonnay, hot Apple cider and chocolate chip cookies. Our room was huge! A fireplace and a nice sitting area. The decor gave a warm homey feeling. The unique design gave each room a bay window and we found them to be very quiet. We even found sparkling apple cider, chocolate and an Apple memento to take. We had a tasty Christmas dinner at the restaurant, enjoyed complimentary wine tasting and holiday decor shopping at 50% off. As someone who is gluten sensitive I enjoy the wheat free deserts at the bakery. We will definitely be back! Thank you Apple farm for making our Christmas special!

Angie

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.

Sheila Genova

Good, but I wish they'd serve more options of gluten free, dairy free, vegeratrain options. Everything is fried. Calamari was very good, but not heart happy. Salad was good but limited. Great sevice.Next time i'll ask for less ice in margarita..

Mike V

My favorite place for a sandwich in SLO!! For my family, the fact that they have Gluten-free and dairy-free/vegan options is a game changer!!

K Ha

Visited for the first time this morning. I am celiac and vegetarian, and the staff were amazing helping me find something I could eat! My group ordered a variety of different items, and everybody was very happy and very full by the end of the meal. Portions were very generous, and staff members all went above and beyond to make our experience great! Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Danni W

Deli in the back has Vegan and Gluten Free choices. The Reuben on GF bread was DELICIOUS! I was glad to find many snacks that fit my dietary restrictions in the store as well.

We had breakfast here yesterday and it was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was just what I had been hoping for after all these years of driving by and wanting to stop but never making time before. We sat right next to the big stone fireplace, under a beautifully carved wooden detail. It is Kitchy, over the top and absolutely perfect. There were pink sprinkles on the table in a shaker... I mean hello!! Our server was Sierra, she was FANTASTIC. Our daughter is gluten/wheat free due to an allergy and she was so helpful and accommodating. She had no problem verifying with the kitchen if items contained wheat for the breakfast sundae and when the granola was determined to contain wheat she happily substituted gluten free toast on the side. She also brought out a raspberry preserve for the toast which was great. All the cakes looked too delicious and we took Sierra's recommendation of the toffee crunch cake to split between my husband, son and I. It was probably one of the best cakes I have ever had. No gluten/wheat free dessert options unfortunately. My husband, daughter and son all loved their meals. The cakes sealed the deal for me, but the great service is most definitely the reason I give them 5 stars.

This was a great stop. The beer was good and the food was good. The service was excellent as well. The facility was really well set up with lots of seating both in and out. The food had lots of options, including Gluten Free & Vegan. The beer had about 9 of their beers, plus some Kombucha, Cider and Wine. Pretty much whatever anyone could ask for. We also met the owner, and she was super nice.

Linda P.

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

Susanna Walker Clark

Great staff. I got gluten free ravioli that was great. Large servings. Excellent pizza

Christine Noppenberg

The staff here are awesome-- friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and very accommodating! We have a lot of dietary restrictions, including gluten free, but our whole family was able to eat here! Incredibly delicious-- we highly recommend it!

Sarah Beth Pauls

The breakfast sandwich is AMAZING!! Gluten free pastry options daily made in-house that are super tasty!

Lisa Hugdahl

We went to two of the Scout locations. Both made excellent beverages. The downtown location offered some yummy gluten free goodies and the Scout cookie (not GF) was so good. Can see why it is so popular. Worth a visit when you are in town.

Katy T

Picked up sandwiches to go on our way to San Francisco from LA. Friendly staff. Knew to ask if my gluten free bread was an allergy or preference. And even better, knew to toast the bread twice. Hours later the sandwiches still tasted great.

My wife and I both got salads, mixed greens and chicken and a kale Caesar with swordfish. They were both truly wonderful and such a healthy portion. Fresh greens and the added on protein was a good size and cooked perfectly. I also had the goat cheese croquettes with honey and lavender and they were amazing. Inside the Hotel SLO. Nice sized drink menu, clean and open with nice service. Highly recommend. Wife has gluten allergy and no issues with salad and chicken from grill. Picture was taken after eating some so it’s actually even bigger than that.

Chad Langford

have celiac disease(gluten allergy) as does my daughter. Chipotle is our "go-to" place for healthy, gluten free food where our allergy concerns have always been treated with friendliness and cooperation, no matter which Chipotle we went to. This one has always cooperated in a friendly and expeditious manner. This time was different. The young lady that helped us was flat out rude and REFUSED to change spoons out for the desired ingredients, maybe 6 or 7. She claimed it would take too long but there was nobody in the store save for one other customer! When I explained the situation she STILL refused to help, and wasted so much time there WAS a line of customers behind us eventually. I finally asked for the manager, who overrode the rude employee, but I still don't think she understood how bad the employee was, almost seeming to make excuses for her. If the employee who was being a jerk was so concerned about taking too long, she could have had the utensils swapped out in 60 seconds, yet she stood there and argued with us for minutes, while customers came in and lined up behind us. Never have i felt so unimportant as a FREQUENT customer.

My girlfriend and I, along with our two dogs made a stop here after exploring the many trials of Los Osos has to offer. We built up an appetite. Open entering we were greeted by our host - the place had a very cool vibe, he was very friendly and greeted us with a smile, he immediately offered up a water bowl to our dogs - this was b4 we had the chance to ask him if the establishment was dog friendly ✅. We were lead to the counter where we placed our orders. Tri-tip French dip, chicken salad and a couple cups of pozole + a couple glasses of wine. Seating was plentiful and comfortable but mostly outdoors. We found a table and waited for our order, both our dogs got their own seats :) The ambiance at this place is awesome; very cool art, fun and edgy decor and awesome music - we heard mostly 90’s: alt and hip hop. Rage against the machine comes to mind. The food came out quickly and with a smile. Tri-dip dip dip was insanely good and made with gluten free bread, chicken salad was on point and the pozole was hellza legit; it also came with a side of their sourdough which was extremely good. Beerwood is a wonderful establishment. Will plan another visit next time I’m in town

Steve Broomhall

What an amazing experience. The dining room is astonishing and a riot for the senses. The steaks were all superb and they accommodated gluten free options with ease. A live band, dancing, great cocktails and good wine recommendations - just perfect.

Cigal Shaham

Delicious. Quiet. Lots of space. Great at accommodating food allergies & issues (have vegetarian options, gluten free options, can make dishes with no fish sauce, etc). Very yummy. I only got 1 pic of a partial plate because everyone dug in so fast and gobbled up every drop of food.

Sheila Genova

Had lunch at Coppet kettle there. Fun. Moderately priced. Had gluten free ravioli and was delicous
