Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Waffles / Crepes Across California

Sarah Epps

Camino Alto is a special place. Every ingredient is vibrant. You can taste the care and creativity in every dish. They have really fun wines and the staff are very knowledgeable and warm. The baked goods for breakfast are delicious and every dish for dinner is a great choice. Ideal for vegetarians and gluten-free diners as well as omnivores.

Dominique Martin

I cannot praise them enough!! It is such a relief to know that everything is gluten free but also soooooo delicious!! I love the music and ambiance as well. It is always an amazing meal, even before my gluten issues I would have come here all of the time if I knew. Also... The donut holes will change your life, and the coffee is out of this world! Just try it already lol

Lisa

A fully gluten free kitchen with a variety of options for dairy, vegan and Paleo diets. The line is long and moves very slowly (especially on weekends).

Lila Abrams

horrible service. i ordered a blueberry muffin and the person next to me ordered one a minute after. they had me pay for it and then told me they were all out and gave it to the person. this was after waiting in line for 20 minutes. the staff has absolutely no manners. if your looking for good gluten free food with good service save yourself some time and choose a different bakery. they also do a horrible job at making accommodations. i ordered myself an omelet and told them i could not eat mushrooms and they gave me an omelet with mushrooms. then got annoyed and took another 20 minutes to make me a new one. and it was undercooked and smaller than the actual serving size.

My celiac family loves it here. I don't have to eat gluten free but the food here is much better than almost any other gluten free food. Sandwiches, baked goods, fried chicken, and more. Plenty of vegan options as well.

Tori Liezen

Great experience all around! Husband has celiac disease so having a dedicated gluten free facility is A DREAM! Biscuits were the highlight. Also had the cinnamon roll and breakfast crepe which were also great! Beautiful and serene atmosphere on the patio. Will be back.

Beth Parsons

Great gluten free options!

Maxine Smith

We were looking for a Coeliac friendly meal near Golden Gate Park and this was perfect. 100% gluten free food. The only gluten in the place was in a few beers available. Friendly staff. We didn’t play any games but saw a huge selection available. Recommend the waffle sandwiches, and the ice-cream floats to drink, yum!!

Lisa Amnotte

Very busy but worth the standing in line for! Great place for dedicated GF! Delicious Blue Corn Waffles both sweet and savory and special sauce yum! I bought the flour and the sauce.

Sven Pedersen

Cute cafe with great food that caters to dietary restrictions like gluten free, vegan and vegetarian.

G Unit

Great spot. -Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING here at Vibe is clean. No meat on premises, but everything is very fresh, organic and gluten free. -Had several meals here while traveling for work, and all have been excellent. -Entire shop meticulously cleaned and well taken care of. -reverse osmosis water fill station in back with cups -Staff very friendly and helpful. 10/10, will gladly go back and go out of the way to do so.

Alan Thiessen

We came here for the gluten free sandwiches and were very impressed. Even our non-celiac friends loved the cheese bread, but the good was so slow to arrive, even in a near empty restaurant

Loraine Tai

The gluten free dairy free version of strawberry works is yummy. It's always deal-sealing when the staff are legitimately well versed regarding allergies/intolerances and understanding to boot! Would be interested in trying more of the favs on the menu next time

Meredith W

Waffles! OMG! They also have a huckleberry hotcake. The risk of cross contamination is low because all of the hotcakes and waffles ONLY come GF!

This is the typical situation where faddishness is giving it more popularity than it actually earns. Berkeley is prone to this kind of problem, where popularity is more a question of Insta rankings than actual merit. I stopped in twice in the past week. The first time, it was right after opening time and it was relatively empty. I was waited on by a person that later in the week I saw serving as a barista, she had an air of faint annoyance at having to actually interact and work with customers. On my second visit, today, she and her fellow barista were so engaged in their conversation for the entire 15 minutes that I was in the shop due to the long lines, that they were producing drinks at about half the speed that was possible. The line stretched from the counter to the door, and based on my former experience in a similar job, it would have been half this length if the people making the drinks put customers ahead of socializing with each other and looking cool. They almost never made eye contact with a customer the entire time I was there unless someone asked a question when picking up the drink, and often that person had to repeat the question in order to get their attention. This is completely unacceptable when you’re paying 10 bucks for a coffee and a treat. On the other hand, the young, slightly heavyset guy of color who waited on me at the register by the muffins was clearly committed to doing his job well. He tried to keep the line moving and his efforts to keep the service level high, was being thwarted by the chatty pair making the drinks, who ignored most of his questions the first time he asked them. Food and drink were 4 out of 5: the classic mochi muffin precisely as advertised, crunchy outside and mochi within. Slightly overbaked this time compared to my first visit. Iced coffee latte was excellent coffee but over sweet. Overall, the treats are unnecessarily too caloric, evidenced also by the clientele who range above the norm. The Asian food this place keeps trumpeting as its inspiration is much healthier than this extravaganza of sugar and high glycemic carbs in the mochi flour. Making a habit of this place would definitely be detrimental to your health. If they want to garner a higher rating, they need to coach the self-impressed barista staff on putting the customers first, and they need to add more options that showcase the delicacy, subtlety, and elegance of Asian cuisine instead of taking American sugar cravings and overeating, and combining them with some Asian flavors. Not recommended. In Berkeley, you have superior options for gluten-free, baked goods, and coffee.

Crepes are delicious! Great gluten-free and vegetarian option. We eat here every time we come to Monterey and it never disappoints. We were waiting 30 minutes at another breakfast place and they never even brought us water, so we just bailed and came here because we knew we'd get good food fast. Shout out to the zaatar crepe!

Jen Yamtich

Delicious food and a huge menu of Celiac-safe gluten free options.

Hannah Nicole

Amazing gluten free friendly brunch spot. The service is always attentive and friendly and there’s enough outdoor tables that there is usually no wait. It’s a regular spot for us.

Anthony M.

I can't say enough good things about this place! Finding a fast food spot that is vegan, organic, and gluten-free is rare, but finding one that’s actually delicious is even better. We ordered the Macro Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, and the Buddha Burger, and everything was fantastic. The Macro Bowl was nourishing and flavorful, packed with fresh veggies, hearty grains, and a perfectly balanced sauce. The Fiesta Bowl had just the right amount of spice and zest, making every bite exciting. And the Buddha Burger? Easily one of the best plant-based burgers I’ve had—savory, satisfying, and paired with a great gluten-free bun. The quality of ingredients is evident in every bite, and the fact that it’s fast, healthy, and organic makes it even more impressive. Whether you're vegan or just looking for a clean, feel-good meal, this place is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back!

Ryan Henry

Again a full gluten free food place in the same Plaza, also owned by the same company. Both are masterpieces, and the waffler sandwiches and flatbread pizza here ware amazing!

Mohammed Almathami

Great food and service. They have many gluten free pancakes and waffle options

Jennifer Moul

Ice cream and waffle cone were delightful. I love how they have so many gluten free options. The addition of a cookie (reg or gf) is also a nice touch! The Mint Cookies n’ Cream & Peanut Butter Cup were delicious.

Kaytlyn Fehr

ALL gluten free food!! Celiac heaven

Adventure 3000

Its a great hipster spot but gluten free and organic shouldn't mean lack of flavor. The food needs something extra, not bad but not sure if we will be back.

Jay C

Such a wide range of flavors from vegan options, to so many different versions of chocolate and classics this is a for sure recommend! They have a virgin mojito and passion fruit flavour that are both vegan and so delicious on a hot day. I love that this place is also all gluten free so no need to worry about cross contamination.

Cheryl Devine

While they no longer have the gluten free crepes they'll still make your dish gluten free over rice. Their baked goods are always gluten free and vegan. Lots of gluten free vegan options.

Sophia

Fresh food and quality ingredients. We were impressed with the gluten free waffle. Chorizo scramble and chilaquiles had amazing flavor.

Paul Medina

A delicious little breakfast spot. Although there usually seems to be a line, I was lucky and didn't have to wait. Their menu is varied but feels a bit limited, but the name says "pancakes." The hash browns are greasy for not being so fried. The sausages are delicious paired with the pancakes, even the gluten-free ones. It's nice to eat on their terrace; the weather is perfect. The service was good, although despite the place not being full, the waiter forgot to bring me a juice I ordered. I don't know if it's customary in SD, but they brought us the bill before we ordered it, which seemed rude to us.

Nicole

Very busy place! The ice cream was so good, and they have gluten free waffles cones. I got the mango peach and coconut one. I can’t remember the names but they were funny! I know my husband got Leather and broken heart. We loved it! Will have to come back when we visit again. Also we got to try all the flavors, the olive rosemary one was better than I expected with the salt! Great ice cream place will come again.

ERIKA WALTON

I highly recommend this place. I just did a quick search to find some local yummy food with coffee and it popped up. I will definitely be coming back. The staff is so friendly, helpful and informative. Very kind people. The food is excellent. I got a veggie crepe, and I tried the gluten-free, it is delicious. Then I got the bombon coffee drink. It was also yummy. The atmosphere here is very chill open airy and light. Great space to do work, hang out with friends and eat healthy and yummy food. They have truly a great menu and all of their coffee drinks look amazing and I plan on trying all about

Esmeralda Aguilar-Miranda

I first tried Rosemary Farm to Fork about 11 months ago after seeing all the great reviews on Yelp. Unfortunately, our first visit didn’t live up to the hype—the food wasn’t quite what we expected. BUT I’m so glad we gave it another shot! They’ve moved to a new location over the summer, and it’s made a huge difference. The new building is beautiful and elegant, with plenty of seating and lots of parking. I especially loved seeing a small toy section for kids and fancy high chairs for babies—such a thoughtful, kid-friendly touch! We came for breakfast to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday. She’s gluten-free (not by choice) and vegetarian, and she was able to enjoy the avocado toast and loved it. My brother ordered the tacos and smash burger. At first, he said, “Dang, this place is kind of expensive—I hope it tastes good,” and afterward, he said, “These both taste flipping great!” All in all, I definitely recommend giving this place a try—especially if your first visit wasn’t the best. They’ve really leveled up!

Nicole Lynch

Really good breakfast!! I enjoyed the gluten free burrito and pancake

Julieta Mariotti

Very good place for breakfast. Varied food and many Gluten Free options, which is difficult to find

Linda Salinas

We stood in front of a sign that read 'Please wait to be seated' for over 10 minutes. A waitress came over and handed us menus. A person behind the food counter in front of us said hi but didn't offer to help us until several people walked up to her and ordered. When I asked what the process was, she then said to place our order with her, receive a number to put on our table, and pick where we wanted to sit. The please wait to be seated sign was very confusing. After we ordered, we got our order pretty quickly, and the food was delicious. Plus, plenty of it. Huge menu with a lot of gluten-free options. Our crepes came with a side salad and a choice of potatoes. The garlic home fries are gluten-free and delicious. The French Fries are not gluten-free

Juana Saldana

Milie’s Cafe has so many options, from vegan to regular and gluten-free! I ordered the Devil’s Mess and it was packed with bold, delicious flavors. My hubby got The Usual with gluten-free pancakes and they were 🔥. We also loved their fresh, homemade orange juice, and the Blue Majik latte was a refreshing and tasty surprise. Highly recommend for a flavorful and inclusive brunch spot!

Emma Lucas

I sought this place out during a short trip to San Diego because it’s seed-oil free, is committed to using organic and whole ingredients, and has lots of gluten-free options. Parakeet Café did not disappoint. I ordered their eggs and salmon w/ gluten free toast, and the acai bowl….they were both so good that I went I ordered the exact same thing at the Coronado location later that day. The staff were also nice.

Dave Capra

Such a fun creative menu! Gluten free charcoal waffles with homemade nutella, healthy creative bowls, and quick friendly service. A brunch gem

Heather Elliot

The food is great, the people are nice, and I’m definitely coming back! I’m gluten intolerant, so I’m stoked to find a place with quite a few delicious options for me!

William Wilson

What an absolute treat. They even have gluten free crepes! I highly recommend it.

Genevie Guevara

We were in town for a family emergency and looking for a gluten free restaurant for my partner. This is the MOST AMAZING place. The gluten free crepe - perfect, the home potatoes - superb, the service - welcoming, quick and attentive. Less than a mile from Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, easy to get to if you're needing a delicious meal. We will be coming back tomorrow. I cant wait to try something different. I would literally wait in the pouring down rain just for this!

Violet

the breakfast deluxe is my favorite thing ever and my go-to safe food meal. awesome vegan & gluten free options :)

Marina Earl

My children and I love this place. They love the crêpes. I have celiacs and love that I can have french fries. Employees are always fantastic and the food quality is consistently great.

Sharon Murriguez

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Walnut Creek location of Third Culture Bakery, and it did not disappoint! As a long-time fan and customer of the awesome Berkeley location, I was excited to see how this new spot would measure up, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I approached the bakery, the cool window signage caught my eye. The colorful and inviting holographic design is a warm welcome that perfectly encapsulates the bakery's commitment to aesthetics and attention to detail. It totally sets the tone for the delightful experience that awaits inside. Once inside, I was thrilled to find all the classic treats that I’ve come to love over the years. The mochi muffins, a variety of flavors of mochi donuts, and even mochi waffles were all available, and made it really hard to choose what to get. And of course everything is gluten free! I couldn’t resist indulging in a refreshing matcha sparkler, which was the perfect complement to my sweet treats. I loved exploring the adorable merchandise on display, which adds a fun touch to the overall experience. After picking out my goodies, I settled into their outdoor seating and relaxed under the sun. Third Culture Bakery's Walnut Creek location is absolutely delightful. The combination of yummy gluten free treats, thoughtful design, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone in the area. I can’t wait to return and indulge in more of their amazing offerings! Highly recommend! 🌟🍩✨

Eyal Zeev

Best place for hungry people in downtown MV. Informal good food and for celiacs the crepes are gluten free.

Trey Patterson

Server natalie j was a gem! She was very careful with my Celiac disease. The food was great, the short rib was a little over done, however, the beverages were superb, and I had a great time overall!

Ray Bolden

Honestly, I don’t think I saw this place at its full potential, but I will give you an overview of my personal experience. Hopefully you can find It useful. Food: I stumbled upon Bru’s Wiffle while looking for a restaurant with French toast. This place has a number of French toast options. I chose the Honey Poppers French Toast. These are bite-size crispy chicken in housemade siracha & louisiana hot sauce. I wasn’t impressed. The French Toast was thin and flimsy. It tasted like It was made on sandwich bread. I should’ve known better than to get chicken poppers. I asked for a of chicken thigh. It was juicy and crunchy. Had I known better, I would’ve chosen this chicken option to begin with. Next, I ordered an avocado toast topped with eggs. The melted cheese is a great addition to this dish. However, I prefer sliced avocado rather than the avocado spread. My partner had the Basil Pesto Crispy Polenta Avocado Toast with egg. This is a gluten free meal. The egg is an add on to both Avocado toast options. Beverage: This place has a Watermelon Mimosa that I’ve been trying to imitate for the last four days. It was sweet and fruity. Payment: Bru’s Wiffle doesn’t accept American Express. As an Amex Gold Member, one of the benefits of the card is the 4X points at restaurants. If this was a quick order to go, I wouldn’t mind. But, on an $150 bill, knowing this sooner would’ve probably impacted my choice to visit. Overall, I think that this restaurant had some options would be pretty tasteful. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to try them during this visit.

Sarah Kotzman

A surprise road-side crepe shack! Great selection of savory and sweet crepes, and they have buckwheat *gluten free* ones too. Really yummy. Coffee was great. The lavender whipped cream was amazing. Outdoor patio seating behind.

Danielle

This Amy’s is in the San Francisco airport. The menu is limited, but sufficient for the setting. I have been eating Amy’s meals for years. I was so excited to see what they had. I ordered a chicken sandwich, gf cinnamon roll & dairy free chocolate shake. I was so happy with my meal. It would be so nice to have more of these pop up because it gives such a great option for people with dietary restrictions. The meal kept me full all day. The gf cinnamon roll was very dry but still tasty. The shake was the best I have ever had. It is pricey, however, most gluten free/ heavier options are. Comparatively, especially for airport food, I felt it was a good value.

As someone who has been strictly paleo and gluten-free for years, I was genuinely excited to support a place that caters to my dietary needs. Unfortunately, this spot is all hype and no substance. Let’s start with the food: I paid way too much for a sandwich that was literally the size of my fist. I could’ve literally made the same thing at home and i wouldn’t have spent so much. I wish I were exaggerating. It might’ve been paleo, but it was also pitiful. For the price, I expected something filling, flavorful, or at the very least… satisfying. Instead, I left hungry and annoyed. Not to mention the MATCHA was watery and YUCKY !! also expensive! What really turned me off, though, was the attitude of the owner. Not only were they not welcoming, but they actually had the nerve to be asking for more money to expand their kitchen. Are you serious? Maybe start by EXPANDING portions or treating your paying customers with a bit of respect before crowd-funding your next move. I wanted to like this place. I really did. But it’s overpriced, unwelcoming, and honestly feels like a cash grab disguised as a health-conscious café. Do better.
