Gluten-Free Restaurants near Aptos, CA

“Best breakfast and ambience 🥰“

“Stopped into Companion Bakeshop Aptos and had a much-needed experience. The staff were friendly, and the barista who made my flat white did an amazing job — absolutely nailed the espresso pull. The coffee had rich notes of chocolate (my favorite), and the milk froth was smooth, silky, and perfectly balanced.

The pastries looked incredible — and it’s clear why this place is known for them. I wasn’t in the mood for one this time, but I’ll definitely be back to try them out. The space is quaint and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and I loved being able to watch the pastries being made in the back corner of the shop.

If I’m ever in Aptos again, this will be my go-to spot for a morning flat white.“

“Strawberry walnut salad was great and the feta fries OMG so good“

“Best sushi in Santa Cruz. Most innovative rolls we have had in a long long time. We opted for the real seafood rolls as opposed to the vegan fish this time but I can't wait to go back and try those next. Great service, food and price. We will definitely go back for more...“

“Just about perfect. Bagels prepared traditionally and the quality is obvious. Coffee the top notch. Staff is friendly enough, potentially overworked but courteous. (I think that's fine, I don't need therapy, just give me the food.) The low prices really make this place dominate. Can't think of a complaint. Get a bag of day olds while you're there, supercheap.“

“Visiting SC from Michigan and came across Suda. Glad we did. Looked like it had a good vibe from the outside so we went in and sat at the bar where we had drinks. What fun! The bartender, Max, was slammed but never stopped smiling. We had fun watching him and talking with him. He knows his drinks! So much fun we came back for dinner another night. Max came over to our table to welcome us back! The drinks and food were really good! We’ll definitely be back next visit to SC. Hopefully, Max, will be there too!“

“I placed my first order last week and picked up my bag on my way to work. Upon arriving I unzipped the bag to find a most amazing array of colorful and artfully created meals. Each of them has a distinct personality and worldwide cuisine... I love my Foodsmith food! I am looking forward to my next set on Thursday. Officially I will sign up for weekly meals because as a 40+ hour a week RN I need to keep myself healthy and avoid fast food that was becoming my norm. Thank you for this wonderful and delicious start to my week!“

“I was in town with my daughter for college visits and came across this restaurant in Santa Cruz via google maps. We went on a Sunday morning and were seated immediately after ordering, and the food arrived very quickly. We ordered vegan versions of a couple of their menu items and they were VERY good. Lots of flavor, not heavy sitting. We liked it so much we went back the following morning for breakfast before we took off to another state for another college visit. There were still more vegan items I would have liked to try on their menu. Definitely recommend this quaint little restaurant. Vegan friendly, but also good choices for omnis too.“

“I had a very delicious Chicken Apple Brie Sandwich and Chai latte.“

“Food was good and Service was great.“
