Gluten-Free Restaurants near Dana Point, CA

“My daughter, mother and I chose Jack’s for our GNO. We had such a lovely time!. Even though the restaurant was packed, it still had a family friendly, mom and pop time of vibe. Our server was Cruz and he was very attentive, warm and welcoming. The portions were quite large and the food was DELICIOUS. You could taste the love in every bite. Even though we were all happy with my food, I couldn’t help but notice how good the dishes around me looked also (especially the pork chop!!). We will definitely be back again soon so I can try other things.“

“The food was great! We had the beet salad... lots of beets ans great combination of vegetables. We also had the linguine, really good too! We tried a couple of bakery items that we enjoyed, also! Staff and service were great! They were pleasant and helpful!“

“This place is a retreat, heaven and happy place. I love it all. ❤️🌱“

“Really enjoyed my stay! The rooms were quiet and comfortable, the hotel bar was fantastic, and the room service was excellent. Loved the thoughtful little amenities—they really made a difference.“

“I feel that Moulin in Laguna Beach is a bit better than this location, but I still had a good experience here. One thing that has always disappointed me about Moulin is the size of their lattes—they're just too small. I wish they offered larger latte options on the menu. Other than that, everything was good, and I would probably come back more often if they served bigger lattes.“

“Love our first time here this morning. Better croissants than we had in France and we thought they were good! Outstanding quality and you can tell everything is made with 100% pride, care, compassion and love. Will definitely go back more than once! Goodbye diet!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Very close to the beach, close to center of everything. I personally thinks it’s more for American palate. Not for Chinese palate. But given it’s in a touristy place, I think it’s very very good Chinese food, speaking as a Chinese eater. lol.“

“Good food, good prices, friendly staff, great view from upstairs.“

“Came for lunch with my gran about a month after my grandfather passed. It was my gran's first outing since the funeral and i was worried but our server was this adorable silver haired woman named Rebecca. She had my Gran laughing the whole time. We ordered combos and the suggested jalapeño watermelon margaritas, which were spicy and refreshing. We needed a nap afterwards because we were too stuffed! My gran won't stop asking when we can go back. Thank you South of Nicks for lovely meal, and Thank you Rebecca, for helping a family member feel normal after tragedy. You are in our prayers“

“Only bread I can eat!! 💗“

“Rolled in before I caught train back home, after a day at The Mission. Enjoyed a few items off the Happy Hour Menu. $34 before tax for the Pear & Brie Skillet melt, seasoned olives, and a slice of Key Lime pie. I would pass on the skillet melt next time, did absolutely love the toasted focaccia it came with. Next time I would try the Spinach Artichoke Dip. I sat solo at the bar, several average size groups were at the other end of the bar area.“

“It was my first time there. Lovely staff and wonderful food“

“The food was excellent! I will definitely return.“

“This is hands down the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever had. It’s as close to traditional bread you will ever find. Unfortunately I don’t live close to her locations but it’s absolutely worth the drive! Highly recommend!!!“

“I love the Savour Pastry shop under the new ownership. I love the quality and taste of their products tremendously. My favorite items on the menu are Almond Croissant, Cream Broiler and Almond Cake plus all the rest of the pastry they make. I take their pastry to all my friends and to every gathering that I am invited to. I am so glad to support a local business, which is providing quality food and excellent services.“

“The vegetarian rolls are so flavorful and the staff is super friendly! Definitely going back.“

“Had a client dinner here at The Loft while they were in town evaluating Laguna Beach properties — the setting alone sealed the deal on their interest in the area. The restaurant sits within the Montage resort with sweeping views that are genuinely hard to beat. The menu is thoughtfully put together with quality ingredients and an impressive wine selection. Service was polished and attentive. As someone who regularly brings buyers to Laguna Beach, I find that a meal at The Loft does more for their decision than any property brochure ever could. The atmosphere communicates the lifestyle perfectly.“

“Amazing pizza and atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back again!“

“Great selection of flavors, high quality ingredients and so delicious! You won't miss the dairy 😉“

“Tracy and her team have exceeded my expectations both times I've ordered custom cakes. Not only do they look amazing they taste amazing too!“

“Moulin in San Clemente is this adorable French bistro that's totally transporting. The vibe's cozy and it feels like a mini getaway. We sat outside and it was perfect, beautiful sunny day and the outdoor seating is gorgeous. I went for the omelette special with mushrooms and French ham and it hit the spot, eggs were perfect and the flavors were great. My wife loved the Croque Monsieur sandwich. Customer service was outstanding, the staff were super friendly and on point. Oh, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing! They've also got this cute little market thing going on which was a nice touch. If you're in San Clemente, Moulin is a solid pick for a chill French meal. We'll be back.“

“Aside from there delicious little Bundt cakes, I wanted to provide a review on their customer service. When we realized this location was closing in 10 minutes, we were hesitant to go in because the young lady was sweeping the floor. I work in a service industry as well so I understand how 'last minute' guests can be 😉. She was quick to make eye contact with us as soon as we walked in. She also stopped cleaning right away to service us with a smile. She was friendly & patient and said we would be able to get another coupon like the one we used for my birthday if we complete a survey. Filling out this survey is less about the coupon but more about Carissa. Wonderful young lady with great work ethic and a warm demeanor. Great hire, Nothing Bundt Cakes Laguna Hills! Thanks again for consistently delicious little Bundtlets!“

“My wife told me she wanted a chocolate raspberry cake for her birthday, I looked around for inspiration and a bakery that could deliver.

And I came across this place! Butter+Cream bakery was very helpful in making my wife's cake dream come true! I also spoke with the owner and they were kind enough to create a 'special request' that I made. I'm definitely coming back here for her birthday, our anniversary, and whatever other occasion that gives you an excuse to eat cake!“

“Finally got to try one of their famous cakes. Delicious!!!! Had an online order and we were instantly greeted by a very nice young man working there, our cake was ready and we were good to go within a minute. I love the small business vibe they have and the enthusiasm from the employees. Will be back!“

“I just picked up my curbside groceries. The lettuce and spinach was fresh and beautiful. My peppers, tomatoes etc looked fresher than the market. I bought flour and yeast which is so difficult to find and eggs and milk. I will definitely order again. I would very highly recommend them. Thank you for providing this service!“

“Great food, great service. We liked their cocktails, I had a blackberry whiskey drink and it was amazing. Can't go wrong w the lettuce wraps or the wonton soup. Hubby joined the Chang's reward thing and we get good little incentives. Definitely will be back.“

“I was impressed by the patience and poise of one particular server, Freda.

The person in front of me had so many questions and did not fully understand the options for ordering her pizzas. Despite others waiting to be helped, Freda patiently and calmly answered all of the guest’s questions without losing her cool (and the guest appeared happy with her order). This was such a pleasant surprise to see (especially in a time when so many people get impatient and lack good customer service skills)!“
