Gluten-Free Restaurants near Alhambra, CA

“I can’t believe how good this place is. When I moved to LA I thought there would be more options for gluten free and other allergen free options, but I haven’t really seen hardly any, especially on the east side. You can tell how intentional the menu is, nothing has been an afterthought. The owner's creativity with ingredients and flavor pairings are outstanding while still being familiar. Their versions of “scallops” and “fried calamari” taste better than the real thing which was very impressive. They have board games and fun mocktails too. Great multipurpose atmosphere for possible events, and the owners have great hospitality. Parking wasn’t a problem either.“

“This Taiwanese bakery has such a wide selection of pastries, it’s impossible to choose just one. My top pick is the sea salt coffee—slightly sweet and perfectly balanced. I also love their taro buns and brioche. The prices are reasonable, considering the quality. Best to go early, because the popular items sell out fast“

“The food is delicious, and food presentation is attractive and elegant. The service is friendly and professional. The ambience is simple and elegant.

It’s hard to find good gluten free. And this is good food. Highly recommended.“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“I love this bakery from childhood! I live in NC now so I really wish they would ship their goodies!“

“Visited here today from Pittsburgh, PA and these are, without a doubt, the best donuts I’ve ever tasted in my life (I’ve tasted a lot 🤣😝). I don’t usually review places but that’s how amazing these are….“

“Delicious food at a reasonable price. I ordered one of the options with multiple handrolls and chefs were attentive enough that they never stacked up, but I somehow always had one in front of me. I'd passed by it without trying it before as we were meeting up with family at another place, but I'm glad we made it back here.“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“Omelete sandwich and beet salad were delicious. Berry lemonade was refreshing. Pastries are divine.“

“A cozy café with a Korean vibe. I had been following posts about its opening on a thread, so I felt a sense of familiarity with it. The dessert and drink menu were simple and not over-the-top, which I really liked. I was surprised to see more foreigners than Koreans, even though cafés like this usually attract a lot of Koreans. The atmosphere was lovely as well.“

“Absolutely in love with this place. Gigi and her mom have built something special here. The BEST gluten free donuts I have ever had. I’ve been gluten free for five years and have been consistently disappointed with crumbly, dry donuts. Not anymore. This place has changed the game. Their donuts are perfectly moist and amazingly flavorful. I am beaming after visiting this place. Easily my new favorite spot and I will definitely be coming back. Impeccable vibes from the super chill baristas.“

“Got a pumpkin pie puff pastry, a savory sausage pie and the blueberry cinnamon bun. So good!!! The location was super cute as well. The frosting on the cinnamon bun was amazing. Good place to stop if you’re heading up the 5 freeway and need a treat😄“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

“I Love Amara!!! The best Avocado Toast in town!!! Nice atmosphere, friendly people and great service!“

“Just amazing...this stuff is so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat it! But I did, haha, and it was great! I love that there is so much variety, from cookies to cakes, and the owner is such a sweet person! I'll definitely keep them in mind for my birthday when it rolls around in August. Keep up the good work!“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“honestly would not have gone here had it not been for me being a jackass to my employers.

my job gives you a free 1-topping pizza for your birthday and i said meatlovers. apparently “meatlovers is not 1 topping” so i doubled down and said “prosciutto” to which i was told “if you can find a spot that has just prosciutto, let us know”

so here we are with a cheese pizza and a prosciutto add-on later and hey, can’t complain. you guys helped me out in my time of tomfoolery. thank you“

“amazing mochi!!! don't forget to check out their seasonal flavor“

“She did such an AMAZING job on my besties birthday cake. It tasted so delicious I was surprised how good it tasted for gluten and dairy free!! This woman is such a sweet girl and catered to some changed and was quick to respond to my inquiries. I would HIGHLY recommend!“

“Delicious brunch today at Lemon Poppy. The whole family enjoyed it.“

“I have been to the 2 Little Tokyo locations and this one is definitely the winner! there’s a huge variety of pastries and things to eat for a quick bite (you might probably have to eat it standing or elsewhere during the weekends since it gets pretty packed and there’s just 3 tables!) but the steamed buns were good!, the matcha mochi wasn’t too sweet so it was perfect, the almond croissant was fine but their specialty is definitely on other pastries! will definitely come back again to try more stuff.“

“Constellation is a jewel in both La Canada and Silver Lake. It’s one of a handful of really good coffee shops in LA. Their espresso is smooth but flavorful, perfect for that early AM wake up call. Best of all, they are very community oriented and the leadership here really dedicates itself to helping the community in more ways than one. Great place, great owners, and they go the distance!“

“Curbside pickup First time“

“I went here to get a quick coffee (Americano) and a tiramisu. The coffee was actually good, and the tiramisu also tasted good! But what I love about this place is that they made the tiramisu take out special by adding whipped cream around the tiramisu (NOT on, don’t worry) so that there wouldn’t be empty space.

The owner of Bon Vivant was SO nice. A very sweet man. The service was great, even for take out.“

“Absolutely incredible vegan dishes and top notch service! We stumbled on Rice when looking for vegan options; so happy we did! Dishes we tried: vegan crisp rice sampler, miso soup, garlic edamame, homemade ginger ale and the crispy dynamite role vegan. Everything was so good! The ginger ale was next level - highly recommend! We got homemade pickled ginger with the roll and it was unbelievably tasty and fresh. The miso soup was a nice surprise as most are not vegan; a broth that built upon each sip and the tofu was also homemade. The crispy dynamite vegan roll had such a unique and deep flavor - more smokey than spicy. I can't recommend the food enough. Thank you to the chef and for the exceptional service. What a treat!!“

“Overall good experience. Dog friendly with a patio for dogs to greet and play. More of a casual spot - wouldn’t take my dog here to get a lot of energy out. But a relaxing environment with good empanadas. Calm and quiet, good if you need to work, or read.“

“Muy bueno!! la Nina fue muy linda. Se llama mayra muchas gracias!!! ☺️☺️☺️“

“I’ve been to the DTLA Arts District location so many times, so I was shocked (in the best way) to discover this one so close to home. The space is modern, clean, and has a cool vibe — though I still lean toward the unique Arts District atmosphere. What really stands out is the pizza: same incredible quality as DTLA. Blindfold me and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

The only thing to keep in mind is that pizza by the slice can add up — if you’re thinking of grabbing more than two, a fresh pie might be the smarter move. Either way, I’m thrilled to have another amazing spot nearby!“

“These cookies are amazing! I’ve sent them to everyone I know.“

“The BEST. What else do you need to know? Try it for yourself.“

“The best. Done and done. They go that extra mile when you need it most.“

“Fantastic service. The specialties and house signature food and drink are fabulous. I had the braised short rib and the house dirty martini. Delicious. Also please try the truffle deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts and truffle fries. Love this place.“

“Gutes Lokal zum Verweilen und pausieren“

“The best service and the food always amazing! Tastes like its homemade and with so much love! Such nice people with the family vibes is my favorite part! Thank you for always providing at my events! Always my go to spot!“

“Good coffee first time visiting this place. Will definitely go back.“

“we took a cooking class there.. learned all about making dumplings! it was a great class and fun time!“

“Good service, good drinks and food. Line gets long but they work hard to be fast. Despite being so busy they had good customer service the few times I ordered, more places could be as good as they are in terms of service and being personable.“

“Amazing bar in the heart of South Park. Solid food options and a seasonally changing menu. Great outdoor patio for SoCal weather and indoor spaces for private parties. Solid liquor line up from lesser known boutique spirits to the mainstays. Friendly bartenders that know your drink and walking distance to Crypto Area/ LA Live / Convention Center. Every neighborhood should have a place like Prank.“

“Really nice pizza place. My wife has celiac so I was looking for gluten-free choices. She tried the sweet potato crust which was delicious. I also got the Philly cheesesteak which tasted really good. Super friendly people and we ate in the store and the food was delivered quickly!“

“Best place ever!!! Great service, great food, great people!!!!“

“The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.“

“This place came to the rescue!!! The wedding cake I had made fell over on the long drive. It was a disaster!! Other bakeries near the wedding venue were already closed and others needed at least 48 hour notice… the wedding was happening NOW. I called Sonora Bakery in my final desperate attempt, explained the situation, sent them a picture of the cake and within minutes, they got to work. The cake was delicious and the wedding was saved. Thank you Sonora Bakery…. You have a customer for life!“

“Nice place to chill, nice back patio too.“

“Absolutely delicious! Can’t go wrong with SusieCakes. Chocolate cake is my all time favorite. Perfect for chocolate lovers. This time I ordered a slice of celebration cake and did not disappoint. Very moist and the flavor was just right.
They also offer a variety of cupcakes.
Jaimie helped me out. Very nice and even offered us to try a different flavor cake.
Customer service A+
Store is clean. Cake display simple and clean.“

“A great bakery, full of yummy baked items, prepared meals to go, breads to take home, sandwiches, salads and yummy desserts. I always stop here when I'm in the Sierra Madre area. They offer baked breads and prepared entries. Prices are a bit high, but worth every penny.“

“Kitchen Mouse is one of those rare spots that feels like it’s smiling at you the moment you walk in. The soft green and pink décor, the whimsical touches, and the cozy kids’ area all make it feel like stepping into a storybook. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made , from their baked goods to their fresh breakfast items, lunch and tasty early dinner offerings , everything tastes like care.

The staff ,Owen, Clara, Dominic and the whole team , are as warm and sweet as the kitchen itself. They make you feel seen and welcome in that effortless way that can’t be faked.

If you’re anywhere near Highland Park, treat yourself to their happy hour from 4 to 6, or stop in any time for something fresh made with love and delicious. Kitchen Mouse is a place that reminds you that food can be both joyful and nourishing , for the body and the heart 🥰

“T-Swirl Crepe is one of those spots you can always count on when you’re craving something sweet (or even savory) but want it with a fun twist. Their crepes are super light, crispy around the edges, and perfectly chewy in the middle—basically the ideal texture. What I love is how they roll them into these cone-like shapes, making it easy to eat without the mess of a flat crepe.

The menu has a good mix of options, from sweet classics like strawberries and cream or mango to savory ones like smoked salmon or chicken teriyaki. My personal favorite is [insert your favorite if you have one, e.g., the matcha azuki bean or banana nutella]. The fruit is always fresh, the cream is not overly sweet, and the balance of flavors makes it feel indulgent without being too heavy.

The space itself is casual and clean, with a modern vibe that’s great for a quick bite or a treat after walking around the area. Service is usually pretty quick, even when they’re busy.

Prices are fair for the quality and size—you’re definitely getting a crepe that’s filling enough to share (though I usually don’t!).

Overall, T-Swirl Crepe is one of those places I know I’ll keep coming back to whenever I want a fun, tasty, and slightly Instagram-worthy treat.

Parking is a bit busy since its shared with everything else, but free parking,“

“Charming place to put in some work (if you don’t mind the background music) when a change of scenery is needed.“

“The food here at Tarme is Everything!!! in a nutshell. 😋 Amazing Flavor, Delicious and very Fresh. their portion is also of good size often time it's enough to be shared. This is my Favorite Mediterranean Food Restaurant in Glendale thus far. I am very please with the Food & their Staff. 😍 I score them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
