Gluten-Free Restaurants in Costa Mesa, CA

“Great pizza, came out fast. Went with their most popular and loved it. Even went back to get their chicken pesto, just as good.
It’s a really cool spot and has a speakeasy in the back! Did not expect that.
10/10. I’ll definitely be back“

“Really great ice cream and so many choices also there’s a menu kist in case you can’t decide 😉“

“Everything we had was so delicious. My 12 year old non vegan son loved it all too!“

“Season's 52 never disappoints. We drive up from San Diego to meet our friends here on special occasions. The food is wonderful and plentiful. The service is top-notch and all the staff are accommodating. Wonderful dining experience. The food is not overly salted, like some restaurants. Can't wait for our next special event at Season's 52.“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“We LOVE Il Dolce! It's like coming home and being treated to a delicious meal. We've been coming here for ten years and every time is lovely. We ordered the funghi pizza and one of the pasta specials. Both were delicious! The service was warm, engaged, and efficient. We'll be back as soon as we're in town again!“

“We chose Penelope's Perfection to make something really special for my Mom's 100th Birthday party. The cake was spectacular. Everything & more we could have asked for. Highly recommended!“

“Found another perfect coffee spot in Orange County! Coffee Nature deserves every bit of these 5 stars for delivering an exceptional experience.

Their Matcha latte is absolutely outstanding— I only wish they had the additional option of pistachio or coconut milk. The matcha has this beautiful, rich flavor without any bitterness, and they manage to create the perfect silky texture that's neither too watery nor too thick. I appreciate that they ask about sweetness level too, so you can customize it to your taste.

What truly sets Coffee Nature apart, though, is their incredible service. The baristas remember regular customers and their orders and they greet you with genuine warmth. Even during their busiest rushes, the staff seem to maintain their friendly demeanor and don’t make you feel rushed.

The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, with plenty of seating options whether you're looking to work for a few hours or have a quick catch-up with friends. Their WiFi is reliable, and there are enough outlets to keep your devices charged.

Coffee Nature is a go-to recommendation for anyone looking for quality drinks, a welcoming atmosphere, and service that makes you feel like part of the family. If you haven't experienced it yet, try it!“

“Love these cookies“

“Parking is pretty difficult in this lot. A lot of it is reserved for other businesses in the same vicinity. However, the fried chicken is juicy, crispy, and has the right balance of fat vs meat. The bento order i got was also very filling, and can definitely serve two people for 15 dollars.“

“The crew at Sidecar in Costa Mesa is top notch! They are the friendliest store around! Thank you so much for always looking out for your customers!“

“This location is very pleasant and relaxing. They have bake goods, cookies, breads, gingerbread cookies, breakfast sandwiches, and lunch sandwiches at lunch hours. The atmosphere changes per season or unique days like Star Trek day. Kid friendly.

Parking: Depending on the time of day, it's hard to find parking, so valet is the only option.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This is our go-to Nekter, both for the convenience and the consistency. We’ve never received a wrong order, and we always get friendly service!“

“We always eat here before the theatre. Food is great, service is great, and very convenient. I like dining and then walking over to the theatre.“

“altl the food is awesome!“

“Wow!!! 5 stars! I have tried several different brands of desserts that are touted for their clean ingredients and for eliminating the most common allergens but nothing has come close to Nowhere Bakery quality and taste! My order arrived today and I was so excited that I tried two item, the brownie and the chocolate chip cookie. My mind is blown! They taste SO good, like normal desserts and they didn’t cause my body to react (I’m extremely sensitive to what feels like everything). I already excited and can’t wait to order my second box of goodies to have on hand for those night that I’m craving dessert. Finally I can partake and don’t feel like I’m missing out during events, potlucks, parties, etc… and I have no doubt that even people who don’t have food allergies/sensitivities would enjoy these just as much as I do. Take the chance and try these! They’re worth every penny!“

“Memorable desserts! Specifically whoopee pie and carrot cake got great reviews and we haven’t touched the cupcakes yet!!❤️❤️“

“Consistent food and service, fairly priced. Staff is clearly well trained and will often greet you and ask if you need anything or if you are waiting on an order. My only complaint is they almost never include utensils for online orders (even when you check 'Include utensils', so I hope you have a spoon if you order soup.

Also, not sure if they are under contract with Mendicino's or what, but they have useless "valet parking" some days, which just makes the already small parking lot a bit of a zoo. The valet stand is literally at the parking spots, so it's actually less efficient when there is a valet there. Seems like this same valet company just scams local businesses or lot owners into taking over their parking lots or something, as it seems semi common in costa mesa/newport, and it's always the same valet company. It takes six seconds to pull into a parking spot and several minutes to valet, but they reserve half the parking lot for valet, so it becomes full, and you are forced to valet since those are usually the only open spots. It works in some parking lots, but definitely not this one which is already a narrow entryway that isn't really even two lanes wide and an already small parking lot.

Parking: Some days there is a valet claiming half the parking lot, making finding a spot difficult. There are 3 'limited time' parking spots right in front of the store next to the handicap spots.“

“Great place for a quiet lunch. Attentive service and good recommendations for wine“

“Convenience. Quality. Great service. Will continue using nectar for our lunches when we are assigned to the mall.“

“My favorite thing about Costa Mesa is that you are in such close proximity to amazing dessert options and Nothing Bundt Cake is one of them.I’m a huge fan of their smaller bundts because there’s nothing quite like gifting a small trio pack to a friend on their special day or bringing a dozen of them to the office to celebrate a small win.The customer service here is always great and I love love love the selection!(33/100—2023)“

“Sugarfina appears to be a popular candy store with a friendly and hardworking staff. Customers enjoy the well-arranged store and the free samples provided by the employees. However, some reviewers feel that the candy is overpriced and overhyped, and that better options can be found for the same price range. Despite this, the store is recommended for its unique packaging and alcoholic flavors, making it a great place to find candy gifts. Overall, while Sugarfina may not be the most affordable option, it is a fun and satisfying experience for those who appreciate high-end candy.“

“This little vending machine has such good healthy deserts! I really enjoyed my dessert. I am super weird with textures too, so I was nervous, but with the coconut flakes on top it was perfect. I tried the original and coffee flavor- and both were good!“

“Great dinner and our server was super friendly“

“Great food as always. Only been 12 years since my last one. lol“

“I didn t even know it existed until it showed up on Postmates Everything was super yummy! GP Cobb salad and sweet potato soup with crunchy Brussels yum! Savor the dark chocolate brownie with sea salt And the maple dijon vinaigrette Now that will create a craving! Glad to have found it Reliable choice!“
