Top 3 Gluten-Free Spots Across Downtown Historic District, San Luis Obispo

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.

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

Jenn P

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.

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!

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)!

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.

If you have been you must!

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.

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

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.

Liz Welch

Free samples help you make your mind up. Price is okay for small cookies, and the cookies are good for what they are. They also had a gluten friendly option which is nice for those with intolerances

Ed Stewart

As a native northeastener, good east coast thin crust is hard to find in California. The pizza here is delicious. Had the sausage and pepperoni - just the right amount of char, very tasty, ate the whole thing in record time and will come back for more. Friendly fast service too and there’s a gluten free crust option. Hot tip: get your pizza to go and hit the great cider selection at Cider Bar next door, if you like cider you’ll be glad you did. A+ recommended!

Eamon Lacy

This place is a gem! Hands down the best sourdough. We always have to limit what we have at the house since it’s just so darn tasty. My girlfriend is gluten sensitive but the sourdough has no effect on her. We are lucky to have such a great bakery so close.

Jay Skid

Lokum (meaning Turkish Delight) and I found each other by pure serendipity. Such a beautiful ambiance with beautiful dining tables and exquisite chandeliers very much pleases the esthetician in every person who visits. There are Turkish coffee pots and tea sets; Turkish jewelry and decorative items. The menu has vegetarian and gluten free options; herbal tea, coffee and baklava. The delights taste divine; each one of them has a splendid taste- you can’t decide which one bedazzled you more. Of all the places I’d love to go again for a bite, this surely eclipses the rest on the list.

Kyle Handley

Love the gluten free dairy free pizza and awesome taps

Linda P.

AMAZING GLUTEN-FREE AVO TOAST! I am always hesitant to order something with gluten-free bread because the taste and texture usually ruin a sando. Not here! Toast #5 (with smoked salmon) was absolutely scrumptious! The interior is fresh, clean, airy, and bright. The counter staff are very pleasant and match the whole vibe of the place. BONUS: dine-in food is served with reusable plates/bowls/glasses/utensils = eco-friendly! I am new to SLO and I am delighted to have found this gem! I will be a regular and can’t wait to return!

Great service with knowledgeable staff...and great explosive Peruvian food with lots of gluten free options! I love my sangria and all the dishes!

Kira Lee

Love the ice cream and the people! There's vegan and gluten free options (including cones!!) that taste amazing. Includes classic flavors and fun new flavors too! :)

Daron Neal

Enoch Campanella

Incredible selection of dairy-free and gluten-free options! They were extremely accommodating of my severe nut allergy and took all the necessary precautions to prevent cross-contamination. Definitely one of the top allergy-friendly ice cream places I've ever been to!

Brooke-Ashley Pool

Sequoia sandwich has finally arrived! Their menu is actually a lovely fit for some missing fare in downtown SLO. Fresh sandwiches, hot or cold, salads, soups, vegetarian, gluten free. And then, ready?! Corn bread and baked potatoes!! The kid's menu is well priced and everything we've tried has been delicious. Have some patience with the staff, the menu is new to them, too. A great addition to downtown dining and right next to the theater!

Brandon H

This place is absolutely amazing. As a former chef who made hummus, kefta, baba, etc for five years.... Moes is SPOT on. Everything is fresh and made in house. As a new resident in SLO I have been searching up and down for food like this. As someone who can't eat gluten due to Celiac, this place does not give me issues. Huge win for Gluten free peeps!

Shannon Bowman

Amazing food, substantial & creative menu, great service, located on the main strip of downtown SLO. Plenty of gluten free (gf) options, free wifi and a few indoor & outdoor table options. Cafe is small, but I can see them doing very well in an expanded location!

Shiana Seitz

My goal is to explore San Luis Obispo and find the hidden gems that focus on quality food and delightful atmosphere. I really scored this morning when I had my meal at Nourish! Very cozy atmosphere greeted me - sophisticated European simplicity. Small yet delightful choices on the menu that included gluten-free options and fresh fruits and vegetables. I was told the egg sandwich was popular, so that was my order. Delicious! Although they did not have gluten-free bread available, this morning, they offered a delightful naturally-fermented whole wheat bread that is locally made, right around the corner. Oh my! Delicious! And the bottle of water infused with fresh mint added additional benefits to the body and soul. Thank you!

Had coffee here with fam. Kids ok. Nothing gluten free

Changing Tides poetry By Katy Hoover

We were looking for a place to eat before going to a concert. We found el Guerrero by accident. It had seating, ordered at counter, it was quick, delicious fish and shrimp tacos, best horchata I have ever had. Clean, quiet, friendly, helpful, knew about gluten free items. We loved it.

Kym Frame

Great place for lunch, the patio was perfect for restless children, we were able to find foods for gluten-free vegans. The waitress was outstanding.

Carla Cary

Rivals some Michelin Star establishments! I ate here for the first time last week with not many expectations aside from the amazing ambiance we noticed walking by. We were in for a treat, this place is phenomenal! Kiko, the owner, and all the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve dined all over the world in some Michelin rated restaurants as well! I’m not a food writer but the blend of flavors and textures was such an amazing experience I would eat here every night if my wallet would let me 😂 Highly recommend the Scallops and the SLO ceviche! We also had the beef stew which was also amazing, but those appetizers were my favorite! The passion fruit Pisco was also 👌👌👌 They were also so accommodating of my gluten allergy and made sure to triple check with the kitchen to make sure! Give this place a try you won’t regret it :)!
