Top 9 Gluten-Free Vegan Spots to Explore in Long Beach

Denise McGovney

They are 100% gluten free so no fear of cross contamination. They also have dairy- & sugar-free, vegan and keto options. My favorites are banana pudding, s’mores cookie, mini lemon bundt, artisan breads, caramel praline cheesecake and seasonal decorated sugar cookies. There’s fried donuts on Saturdays -the Apple fritter and maple donut holes are wonderful. Follow them on Instagram to find out their daily specials and what’s coming out of the oven.

From food, to service (Andrew), to management (Ricardo), they run this place like it is some fancy restaurant like Spago and that is beyond impressive. My mom and I went here on a lark and it made our day! To have an experience where you want for nothing, your drinks are always refilled promptly, and the food tastes amazing, you can't be disappointed. Then, when your server (Andrew) hears you off-handedly mention that you can't eat gluten and he realizes you ordered something with gluten in it, he stops what he is doing and has it remade so you can eat, you're going to feel like a VIP. TLDR - When you come here, ask for Andrew. He was BEYOND conscientious, kind, went above and beyond, and could willingly accommodate some dietary restrictions. If I had a restaurant I would actually woo him away from here. Good service is rare these days, and they have it in spades here!

Urban Plates in Long Beach is a great spot with plenty of tasty gluten-free options. Fresh, organic, and fast. Shoutout to Amy, she was an amazing server!

It was my turn to pick where my girlfriend and I went for date night and because she can’t have gluten I searched gluten free and saw this place. I was so impressed with how they presented themselves online I took her here. We stayed downstairs and the vibe there was just wonderful and perfect. Our servers name was Randy who was by far the best server I have ever had in my life. We was super nice, really attentive and excellent all around. Now let’s talk about this food, my girlfriend and I ordered the wagyu beef meatballs For the appetizer and the entrées were the filet mignon and the steak fries. The food was cooked to absolute perfection. I we are eating we both were already talking about what we were going to have the next time we come here. Definitely the best of the best eating experience of my entire existence.

This place is so amazingly good! I have to avoid wheat, so I ordered the chile relleno which is gluten free, their ranchero sauce is made in house, incredible! The pintos, oh so good, the service, the decor, and there are so many gluten-free dessert options, the lemon cheesecake Takes the Cake :-) thank you!

This is a small and cute dessert spot near downtown Long Beach called, "The Pie Bar". The decor is vibrant and playful. They have a few board games to play if you'd like. I tried the pie flight and it was great! My partner tried the creme brulee and he liked it. I ordered a gluten free vegan banana pie to go and it was amazing as well! The chunks of banana in it were a nice touch. I'm not even a dessert type of girl and I enjoyed myself. So if you're looking for a sweet treat after dinner? Give The Pie Bar a try!

I really loved this place. My girlfriend and I went to this place for dinner I got a calzone and she had a gluten free crust pizza. It was Absolutely amazing the calzone reminded me of home. Would highly recommend to friends and family! Keep up the great work!!!!

The chips are fried in a dedicated gluten free frier! The tacos were great, I had the carne asada and the carnitas. They cooked everything separately and as a celiac I felt very safe eating here.

Just moved to the area and this is my go-to Grubhub order when I don’t feel like cooking or going out. There’s a little place in austin I used to go to all the time that’s similar and I’d missed it so much after moving. But then I found moon bowls! I’m gluten free so I love finding tasty options - the sweet potato noodles and bbq chicken with pickled onions and broccoli are my jam. Never disappointed. I also noticed that they personally respond to every review and I think that’s a great touch. Shows they care. I guess you can’t please everyone but I’m surprised they don’t have a 5 star average with the quality of the food. I paid more because it was Grubhub - but I think it’s close to $20 before the fees. I guess it’s a little pricy… still worth it though.

Why did you leave??? 😭😭😭 please come back. One of the only places I can get a quick healthy and delicious meal safely gluten free.

The crust on their pizza is good but not for the price. Also tried gluten free pizza crust and its disappointing.

I have a gluten allergy, and it can get challenging to find a pizza crust that isn't weird and soggy. LW Pizza did not disappoint. I ordered a cheese pizza w gluten-free crust, it was amazing, and they'll deliver to you at the bar across the way. The cheesecake is basic, but if you need a slice in a pinch, there ya go. Yaaay us!!!

Always looking for irie vegan spots, and this was recommended to me. It did not disappoint, it was definetly a local vibe, in the best ways. The food was very clean, light to eat, but still substantial and filling. Their was quite a few rolls to select from, and all looked high quality, and tasted of fresh ingredients. Everything was clearly labeled, with a various amount of gluten-free roll options. I thoroughly enjoyed, the flavors were spot on and subtle. This is a great spot for any on the go person, or looking to dine in; looking for plant based options, without compromising taste!

When you have a fast food craving as a vegan it’s hard to find good options and I was really impressed with this place. Everything was amazing. The “Bacon Cheeseburger”, the sweet potato fries, the organic lemon lime soda…. and the gluten free peanut butter pie was AMAZING!!! The whole menu is vegan!!

I have been coming to this place for quite sometime. As someone with Celiac I was excited to see the gluten free options, especially the fries! After eating there multiple times and asking about the fries being in a separate frier we were told they were. It wasn’t until the last time that our server informed me that they cannot guarantee the fries weren’t fried with the pita, even though they have 2 friers! She did check and was told that on that day they hadn’t fried pitas in the same frier. Sadly we went again hoping for the same outcome, but that was not the case. Evidently both friers had fried the pitas. Our server actually tried to charge us $10 for some cucumbers to have with our hummus, despite not getting the pita. It makes me super sad that we cannot go there safely and I won’t be able to bring friends and family there anymore. *Edited to update. I so wanted to give them other chances after my last review, based on the owner’s response. However, just tonight our server informed us that my regular dish is NOT dairy free! The manager doesn’t even know, how can they expect their servers to be properly trained? He gaslit me by asking if I had a reaction before! It’s none of his business! Every reaction can vary and before they someone, PLEASE train your staff m!!!

Ground Hideout is like a home away from home. I moved in a few blocks away during the beg of the pandemic ,and found this spot during one of walks. The family is beautiful and makes you feel welcome every time you come in. The drinks are delicious and creative, and they sometimes have vegan and gluten free options for their pastries!
