Gluten-Free Restaurants near Del Mar, CA

“My husband and I came here once and it’s now our favorite place to come eat! A woman Trudy who works there is an absolute super star! She is always going above and beyond to make the experience even better, the food is a plus ? don’t miss out on the grandmas Mac and cheese. It’s the best I’ve ever had!“

“We stopped by Darshan Bakery hoping to grab a cinnamon roll, but they were out at the time. We ended up getting the pull-apart cinnamon roll instead. The flavor was good, but I do wish it had been served warm or at least offered the option to warm it up. The bakery itself has a cozy vibe, we went at 9:20am, we’d definitely give it another try earlier in the day next time.“

“It’s our annual place to be every August for the last 17 years: celebrating 50 years of marriage! The food, service and atmosphere right on the beach is heavenly. Our bartender Steve congratulated us and we talked for a short time. Everyone is so friendly, can’t beat the quality of their meals ! We drive out from Phoenix to have their specialty. Well worth the ride❤️❤️❤️“

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere“

“I enjoyed the Ginger Miso salad“

“Only had lunch here two times but it was absolutely the best deli meal I have had and I am originally from Manhattan. The food is the best, generous portions, the staff is great, prices are good for today’s times and for what you get. We will be back!!!❤️“

“The best sandwiches and so many to choose from. Love all the free added extras avail. Jalapenos, banana peppers etc. The halal chicken is humanely done so that makes me feel better about eating it and there are a ton of vegetarian options. More than I've seen anywhere.“

“I appreciate having a local cafe where I can eat almost everything! They use no seed oils; it's 100% GF and have many dairy free options. They use homemade almond milk without the additives. I can enjoy a latte, a baked good like their pumpkin cupcake which is delicious, and they have amazing vegan bacon on their Sammy sandwich.“

“Delicious fresh and hot handmade donuts! They even have Gluten free!“

“It’s a beautiful restaurant in Carmel. It’s delicious. Serving sizes are huge and healthy. I loved all the healthy choices they had. I ended up trying the beat salad. It was amazing!“

“Tiramisu cake was top notch! Viking cake was super rich, but still delicious. Paired with red wines and vanilla bean ice cream. Ice cream came out first, cake about 3 minutes later, but wines were delayed quite some time. Service was fairly slow, but staff were extremely friendly and obviously hard at work. Huge portions! Recommendation: a garnish or side of strawberries with the Viking cake.“

“The food is delicious, flavorful, and authentic. This place offers simple sit down dining in addition to to-go ordering.

Our waiter brought us water, bowls for sharing (we didn't even have to ask!), and a small dessert at the end of the meal. For a place with to-go in the name, this kind of service was unexpected and very welcome.

I didn't see any incentives for leaving a good review, so the 4.9 stars that this restaurant has is well-earned through great food, great prices, and great service.“

“Best 5am service today for my flight back to Atlanta!! BEST YUMMIES!!! She was the nicest server and very kind for 5am!!!!“

“Their food was amazing! I had the panini vegano and I’ve been searching online how to make that eggplant tofu paste. Everything went so well in that sandwich! It also had olives, vegan feta, arugula and a hint of harissa (in the menu it said red bell pepper or something like that, but I believe they used harissa and it was the best!!). I can’t wait to go again and get the same and get other things haha. My partner and I also tried their pistachio croissant, which h was delicious! Their matcha was great, and the drinks highlight was their dirty chai. Everything was sooo good!“

“Singularly the best brewery in San Diego
Been going there for 10+ years

The owners are are family to me & my husband, have been awesome friends for a decade.

The beertenders are fun, educated about the beers & are all family to me

The beer is some of the best i’ve had in my life, my desert-island beer lives on the board, Drink this or the Bees Die

Being gluten-free makes the beer healthier for me, less pain in my joints, no bloating, & tastes amazing.

Overall 100/10 for me, now & forever“

I got mine with strawberries, blueberries, dry milk, almond butter (amazing!!) and chia pudding (amazing!!).
Staff was really nice too!! I’ll definitely become a regular whenever I stop by the mall. 🙃“

“Food from heaven! I moved away from San Diego but I asked my friend to take balboa bakery all the way for me. My persian azizam pissed them off saying this is not even the authentic middle eastern bakery but trust me that little brown flower will make you forget what authenticity is“

“Great conversation with the owner here today about how this style of food benefits our bodies and being a healthy option to cook at home. Very personable and relatable! I will be back“

Above and beyond customer service from the young lady who was at the register- she was really nice and helpful.“

“Sidecar Donuts & Coffee is a casual boutique tucked away in a nice shopping mall in the Del Mar Heights area. The friendly staff makes their cake donuts from scratch every hour.

Favorites from this morning were the Huckleberry cake donut, Butter & Salt donut, and the Bourbon Pecan Pie donut.

🍩 The Huckleberry donut had a great sweetness with the huckleberries in the glaze and the cake.

🍩 The Butter & Salt donut was a simple sleeper donut, with browned butter, vanilla flavored cake, and sea salt - so tasty!

🍩 The Bourbon Pecan Pie donut was light and fluffy. The bourbon and brown sugar glaze complemented the pecan pie filling and whipped cream.

This location has lots of free parking, especially in the morning hours (Sidecar opens at 0630 pacific time) and they have limited outside seating.

Great place to bring family and friends for an elevated sweet treat of fresh donuts and coffee.“

“Can’t stop eating these. Go to the gas station by my house for a Mint & Chocolate one at least three times a week 🙈 Would love to buy a box if possible! 🐷“

“Delicious, hot, Chai latte. Love to stop in while visiting LaJolla.“

“Charming cottage has the best food and atmosphere!“

“Great food, friendly staff, great selection of adult beverages. Butcher shops.“

“They have the best cupcakes ever. It is a little more than what I’d like to pay for cupcakes, but it’s definitely worth it. The red velvet is my favorite and the frosting they use is delicious. It’s not too sweet or overbearing like other buttercream frostings that I’ve had. It’s just right. I would definitely recommend you stop and check them out if your in the area. I do wish they had more locations“

“First time at Sammy’s in Imperial Beach for breakfast the portions were big and the desserts delicious. We definitely will be returning. Sammy’s is one of my favorite restaurants!“

“Like a few others here, I am a native New Yorker with a love for authentic and delicious rugulach with proper and freash ingredients.Chewy's rugulach is the best there is here on the west coast.I pick up the chocolate rugulach at the cookie bar at Whole Foods Market in El Segundo, and you should too! Just the most delicious snack one could ask for. Love the raspberry (not usually a Raspberry fan of anything) and the apricot as well!“
