Gluten-Free Restaurants near Albany, CA

“Prettiest coffee shop imaginable! The coffee shop itself is a vintage airstream and it’s parked within a really beautiful garden store. So you can sit and have your latte amongst all the beautiful plants.

I got a special treat this morning and chose the seasonal cinnamon mocha latte. It was absolute perfection.

And the people working there are super nice“

“I’ve only had their smoothies and tasted the ice cream . It’s pretty good haven’t been disappointed . Thai tea ice cream is fire 🔥 . They do close early , earlier than their posted hours though sometimes a half hour early so best to arrive over an hour before they close . I haven’t tried their banh mi but they do seem pricey at nearly 18 dollars each!“

“La Val’s Pizza in Albany is such a wonderful local gem! The pizza is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Their Indian-style pizzas are absolutely delicious — especially the Butter Chicken Pizza and Chicken Tikka Pizza. The flavors are unique, rich, and so satisfying.

The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can really feel the family-owned atmosphere. The service is great, the portions are generous, and there are plenty of options for both pizza lovers and vegetarians.

If you’re in Albany and looking for delicious pizza with something different, I highly recommend giving La Val’s a try. You won’t be disappointed! 🍕❤“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

“🌟 NOPA San Francisco: A Bucket List Culinary Triumph! 🌟 Review by: The Bucket List Coach Webshow. I recently had the distinct pleasure of crossing a major culinary destination off my bucket list: NOPA San Francisco. My dining experience on December 12, 2025, was not just a meal; it was an absolute masterclass in hospitality and farm-to-table excellence. Exceptional Service: A Shoutout to Zach! From the moment we sat down, the experience was elevated by our server, Zach. He truly went above and beyond, anticipating needs and offering spot-on recommendations, making the dining experience feel incredibly special and seamless. A massive shoutout to Zach, as well as the entire Culinary team, Management team, and staff—the level of coordination and passion was palpable. Appetizers and Beverages: Instant Classics The meal kicked off with the Date and Pear appetizer, which was absolutely fantastic—a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and texture. And for the beer lovers out there, you must try the Honey Beer 🍺. I'm officially adding this to my personal "Beer Bucket List!" I will absolutely be recommending it to all my followers on my podcast and through my travel agency. Thanks to Woods Beer and Wine Company! The Entrée: Perfection on a Plate For the main course, I opted for the Duck, and it was cooked to perfection. Seriously, melt in the mouth- tender meat was phenomenal. The plate presentation was stunning, far exceeding my expectations—it was a true work of art. The side of Grapefruit and Vinaigrette Salad was the perfect accompaniment. It was one of the best salads I have ever had in San Francisco; the brightness of the grapefruit cut through the richness of the duck beautifully. Desserts: Celebrating National Cocoa Day! To celebrate National Cocoa Day Dec. 13th-I couldn't resist. I highly suggest partaking in the Hot Chocolate for a decadent dessert item—it was rich, velvety, and a perfect holiday treat. And if you still have room, the Cheesecake with Brown Sugar is another truly fantastic dessert that offers a wonderful, comforting finish to the meal. NOPA is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. The ambiance, the incredible staff like Zach, and the impeccable, thoughtful food quality solidify NOPA as a must-visit spot in San Francisco. It earns its place on any serious foodie's bucket list Cindy Lee Podcast Host at Bucket List Coach Web Show & Founder of Bucket List Coach Travel Tours“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for“

“Good fresh comfort food, warm friendly family business“

“Ordered birthday cake and it was divine. Cake was so moist and delicious. Customer service was fantastic too. Will definitely order again“

“A very cozy place in the financial district. Even though we went on a weekend, there were still a lot of people working there. Their pour over coffee is reasonably priced and they also provide coffee beans in the shop. I like the paintings they have inside. The coffee also comes with a postcard telling us where the coffee beans come from and the history, which I think is very nice. If you like coffee, I recommend giving this place a try.“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“just lovely! vegan friendly but the fried chicken was tops!“

“Best ramen ever. Love that they offer gluten-free noodles, soo yummy. Friendly staff and quick service. Menu is simple but enough to share. Omg dessert is the best !!! Ube (purple yams) soft serve is out of this world !! and rice pudding 😋“

“Our large work group of 35 ppl had dinner here with a set menu. The acoustics were perfect for conversation, each dish was gorgeous and flavorful, and the staff easily accommodated any change we needed. The fish tacos were the best I’ve ever had. Beautiful decor, too.“

“sourdough croissants, the corn cherry and oat scones, sundry shortbread flavours that are always exquisite...and today, a new treat, a lil pizza" bakers special" with kale and mojo and crust texture inexplicable, beyond magic. ✨👍🏽✨“

“What a lovely surprise to find such tasty, healthy food so close to home, friendly staff, on time! Lightly cooked but high-protein and *yummy*“

“Jane is my favorite bakery in San Francisco!! Wide variety of delicious pastries and amazing selection of bread - try the cardamom bun, pistachio strawberry Nutella tart and purple corn bread - also fresh salads and sandwiches.“

“awesome a must try, this is a hidden gem“

“Nice cafe with a good selection of drinks and food right off the main thoroughfare. Upon walk in you are able to see a menu showcasing all of their drinks and food. They have acai bowls, a huge assortment of pastries, crepes, etc. everything has Brazilian flair which was cool. We ordered acai bowls which are big for their size and jam packed full of fresh fruit. Honestly, one of the best acai bowls I’ve had, presentation wise and taste wise. The coffees were also good, but nothing spectacular. The light pastry we ordered was very good and fluffy. You can see the assortment of pastries as you go through the check out, as it’s a bit like a school lunch line. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a trendy but quiet spot to have a good meal and a cup of coffee.“

“One of the best places to eat, have eaten here at least 100 times and had just about everything on the menu. Everything is fantastic, but do yourself a favor and come here for brunch sometime and get the huevos (egg) taco (or 2 or 3). It's one of the most delicious things you'll ever taste.“

“Good food, friendly service, and a comfortable space overall. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich, the cookies, and the hot chai. I'm looking forward to going back again soon. 😊“

“I tend to rate my stars mostly for food. I Had the Mongolian beef lunch. Everything came out how I hoped with a pretty good amount. The place is small, it can take a large party but I'm not sure how it is on the highest demand hours, but I got in just fine. The service was acceptable. But as I'm writing this an hour later, I'm feeling very satisfied.“

“Extremely generous portions, everything looked good but I opted for the chocolate croissant. My sister asked how many people I was sharing with. I had my first Mexican Mocha and I wasn't disappointed. Not being from the Bay Area, I had to bring back a sourdough baguette to my hotel. You just can't get this where I live in SC.“

“I dream of coming back to have a garlic cheesey breakfast biscuit. Seriously. Best decision to support these very kind people!“

“Great organic and delicious wraps burritos and plates thank you 😊“

“I ordered the Italian Frittata which was a good portion, full of fresh vegetables, and topped with an ample amount of cheese. The home fries were well cooked and not greasy like some can be. I added a single beignet with this and as someone with Louisiana creole heritage, and raised with authentic creole and cajun cuisine, THIS is beignet done right! I normally steer clear of restaurant beignet because of too many past letdowns, but taking a chance here was well rewarded.“

“Great local restaurant , family owned, amazing dishes and great service!“

“Upbeat generous dude with tasty wholesome food.“

“Pork momo and saucy sautéed shrimp 🍤“

“Awesome yummy food with a friendly atmosphere and Great Service“

“Lunched here several times - offerings are light, tasty, and healthy. Coffee drinks are solid. Pretty space with ample seating, good for meetups or solo dining. Moderate noise on the quieter side. A separate communal table area where kids / families gravitate makes it kidfriendly. Largely self-service.“

“The olive bread was amazing, as well as the croissants and other pastries. The service was off the charts, truly exceptional! Highly recommended.“

“Fast, fresh and consistently good. I've never had a bad meal here“

“I pray they keep the marble cake and hamantash cookies on the menu permanently. Both are absolutely to die for.

So are the chocolate cake and crumble cake.

NOT the poppyseed roll. Super disappointing. Too much dough and not even poppyseed filling smh.“

“Peacock Pansy is a fantastic spot with a lovely atmosphere and excellent service. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and everything came together for a really enjoyable experience. The staff were welcoming and attentive throughout. Definitely a place I’d happily visit again—5 stars!“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“Kouign-amann is one of my favorite cakes.“

“The Best, pricy, but the best.“

“healthy portions of healthy food, how can you beat that?“

“Very nice place, amazing attention, I love it.“

“one of my favorite places in the country to eat. whenever I'm in the Bay area, in here“

“Great coffee and service!“

“Arrived around 12:15 PM today to find a line out the door—about 20 people—but my wait was only around 15 minutes. The customer area is small - space for 5-6 people, but the two staff members were quick and efficient at keeping things moving. There was a great selection of freshly baked goods, and I thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and freshness. A busy bakery with plenty of demand, but definitely worth a visit! There are 7 parking spaces near the entry door and additional spaces behind the building.“

“I have been wanting to try this place for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did. The food was very fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced for the quality. The braised lamb sandwich had soft flatbread, crunchy herbs and vegetables, a tangy sauce, and perfectly tender lamb. The service was friendly, warm, and the food came out quickly. Fava is a lovely lunch spot and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant lunch in North Berkeley.“

“Update:

After my review, Noe Valley Bakery reached out to me about my experience and fully rectified the issue. I’m really glad to see that they stand behind their products and genuinely care about their customers. I was surprised and impressed by their quick response and the action they took to make things right. I’ll definitely be giving their cakes and pastries another try!

Old post:
I searched for a cake for my daughter’s birthday and read all the positive reviews and decided to pull the trigger and ordered two cakes. I was disappointed in what I received. The although the cake looked nice on the outside, the cake was pretty dry and crumbly on the inside. Each time we cut a slice of it and tried to move it to the plate, the slice would fall apart. I’ve read reviews where people commented on how moist the cakes are, but that was not the case on the cakes I received. I ordered the strawberry cake and the matcha cake. It just didn’t taste fresh and as if it was made a few days in advanced got stale.“

“Dropped in for late lunch. Quick service, great food.“

“Absolutely delicious. The staff was awesome. Consuelo couldn't have been more friendly! Great experience. Highly recommend 😋😋“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“
