Gluten-Free Restaurants in Costa Mesa, CA

“The pizza here is just something else! Their bbq chicken and pepperoni are just sooo good! The place is quite nice for any occasion even date night, the service is always good and the people are polite. Kinda sad you can’t put 2 flavors in one pizza but other than that I love this place! Will definitely be coming 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!“

“Hamilton was our server and he was very attentive. We very much enjoyed the crab cake, shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms, the beet salad, the Filet Mignon, and the dessert samplers. Fabulous meal, beautiful restaurant. And even though it was a Sunday and very crowded, our food was prepared flawlessly and the service was excellent.“

“The most authentic and best tasting Napolitano pizza this side of Italy. All of their pizzas and pasta dishes are outstanding. They also have amazing specials. We've been coming for 16 years - after eating in Italy and looking around SoCal specifically for the taste we were craving to satisfy. The owner was classically trained in Neapolitan pizza crafting and also worked under Wolfgang Puck for a time. All of the ingredients are authentic Italian. The homemade Caesar salad dressing and the apple tart are must-have additions as well. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Love these cookies“

“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!“

“One of my favorite coffee shops of the OC area

As soon as I stepped into the cafe, I was met with a high ceiling that was a refreshing break from more of the low ceiling office spaces that I had been studying in. The layout and decor is well put together with the napkins, coffee cup sleeves, and utensils being easily accessible and out of the way from any lines that may form. I’ve also delighted in the presence of board games and enough seating to host these board games! The space is fitting for any who seeks to study with enough accessible outlets within reach wherever you sit. There’s also a maker space area right next door, and in a sense because there is no closed doors between the cafe seating area and the maker space market - it just makes the space feel even more spacious!

I ordered an iced chai latte spiced with nonfat milk. It came out to be $6 for a large cup size. I took one sip and all my worries for the day seemed to have melted away! Praise God! It was incredibly thoughtful to have stickers placed on the drink so that you would know who made your drink. The staff are all kind and hard working - God bless you all.

I want to be back to try the other drinks because it seems like there’s a new seasonal drink incorporating mushrooms, which I have not heard before.

The time here was wonderful.
Thank you all for this space and the sustenance you provide for potentially weary souls.
I truly have no complaints for this place.“

“Amazing and delicious food. Had the regular karaage and the sweat and sour karaage. Both were juicy and flavorful. Portions were larger than I expected. The miso was also pretty good. Enjoyed the meal with a Calpico but they had beers available.

Best karaage we have had outside of Japan! Karaage was gluten free so that was great. The potato croquettes are not gluten free. Sad we didn't find this place sooner. We will be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I often eat from Mendocino Farms and every time the food is simply Yuuuummm & Healthy! Choosing from their salads, sandwiches, superfoods and couscous, this mouthwatering stomach filling work of art; you simply can't go wrong with anything you pick here!

The staff is super friendly and extremely quick. From working the kitchen to the front desk, to their catering person, they all seem to be extremely organized and offer great service.

A shout out to Heather Freshour, for taking care of our small but amazingly awesome catering order for lunch. From setting up the order to delivery, to presentation, everything was spectacular!

Our office staff loved it!“

“altl the food is awesome!“

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

“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!“

“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!!❤️❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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)“

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

“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!“

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

“Great dinner and our server was super friendly“
