Gluten-Free Restaurants near Del Mar, CA

“First visit, I had the Chimichurri Tri-Tip plate ($20.95).
The tri-tip was very good, nicely done. Good flavor and good serving size. Chimicurri sauce was also very good. The fries were served hot and crisp, mixed grilled veg serving was very small, focaccia bread (not shown) was fresh.
The counter service was slow, we were ignored for too long, with no acknowledgement.
We sat on outside patio area, staff was slow to clean tables (there were crows feeding off the leftover plates).“

“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❤️❤️❤️“

“I enjoyed the Ginger Miso salad“

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere“

“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.“

“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!!!❤️“

“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!“

“My one and only place for ordering party trays. Their food is absolutely delicious and their customer service is just amazing. Highly recommended !!“

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

“I’m looking forward to coming back here! The coffees were probably an 8/10, but the pastries were a 1000000/10!!! So delicious ! The environment was also amazing. There is a beautiful outdoor seating area surrounded in plants, flowers, vines. Friendly for little kids and all size groups. I wish i lived closer… but it was worth the drive to La Jolla. I’d probably take friends or family visiting from out of town because i feel confident they would have a positive experience.“

“The cookies 🍪 are amazing!“

“Everything is spectacular but i especially looooove their lemon bars! 🧡“

“Favorite restaurant in the world! Such amazing, happy service. Incredible flavorful vegan food. The bubble teas are excellent to enjoy while eating. Perfect for a romantic experience. They sang happy birthday! For being top quality, it's also amazingly affordable. Enjoy!!!!“

“Great Italian Pastries and coffee in the morning and perfect Italian sandwiches at lunch. Ken and his family know how to bake!“

“simply delicious and fast service“

“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.“

“I love this location. Been a handful of times. My first visit, was the first real time I have been introduced to Gluten Free beer. I have family friend who I believe is a “Celiac” and this brewery is one of the few that he can enjoy. I visited the Encinitas location, staff and vibe was off the day I went but here it’s always fun. Beer has gotten a little stale for me considering they always have the same product. So my only critique would be is experiment with more beers haha.“

“Absolutely delicious food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere! This place is wonderful“

“are you kidding me. This place is the best. great food and service. love it!“

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere“

“With 10 eateries in this tiny strip mall on a main road, you have a lot of choices. Choose this place. Fast friendly service. Great food at reasonable prices. Large portions. Want it mild? No problem. Like it spicy 🔥 they do that too.“

“love ❤love.... only get out this way once a year but we have fallen in love w Encinitas and we come back here every time“

“I’m from the East coast and just randomly searched for a bakery on the west coast to make my grandsons 1st bday cake. I am so pleased that I found Sugarbears Sweet Provisions, not only was the customer service excellent, the cake was created just as I imagined and was absolutely delicious!! Several guests loved it and agreed! I highly recommended this bakery!“

“Best croissant breakfast sandwich of my life. The service was efficient and friendly and all of our food was stellar. What a treat. Can’t wait to go back. (I couldn’t resist buying a brown butter chocolate chip cookie on my way out…WOW)“

“As someone who has Celiac im surprised I didnt know about this place sooner, as im always looking for dedicated gf places! Hope was so helpful last wk when I went in - the bagel and green smoothie were exactly what I needed. Will def be back to sit and do some work, good atmosphere friendly staff and omg the BAGEL texture is amazing wouldnt believe it was gf“

“Love love love food is great! I have to be gluten free unfortunately but it doesn’t feel like a pain here, well labeled menu, they have regular gluten options so my boyfriend can choose anything as well, he has tried my gluten free options and said they are also just as good, the gluten free buns are pretty decent but I prefer the bowls, I’m not big on gluten free bread, the buns are not gluten free by default you have to ask for that just fyi, we love the food every time, bowls are great, the peri peri sauce is my fave“

“Very delicious and fresh! Its hard to find a place that offers both gluten free, dairy-free and tastes so fresh. Had the fish tacos (cod) and they were amazing! Absolutely will come here again!“

“delicious cookies and amazing staff!“

“The owner, Isabelle, is friendly, helpful, and works very hard. I obviously love this bakery as I have been going for years. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is like being in a small town. I highly recommend going to Isabelle's often ❤“

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

“Amazing açaí spot! The açaí was super fresh and delicious, with great texture and flavor. The toppings were high quality and there were plenty of options to choose from. The staff was friendly and the service was fast. Definitely one of the best açaí places I’ve tried highly recommend!“

“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!“

“The most adorable setting serving absolutely delicious food. Fast friendly servers are all smiles and so sweet. The coffee is incredible and if you like Unicorns, well, that's doable here too! Don't miss it. Loved our experience.“

“I came for a visit with some friends. As expected since it's a popular location, the parking was a little difficult to find and there was quite a wait. The staff provided great service and offered plenty of recommendations. Inside the restaurant, it's very spacious and warm with wood accents and a full bar.

For appetizers, we ordered the Takoyaki, Karaage, and Pork Gyoza. The Takoyaki was very hot and incredibly soft and gooey it practically melts into your mouth. The kaarage was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired nicely with the sauce. A hint of lemon made it taste so much better. The Pork Gyoza was a good starter and a great way to begin a meal. For our main dishes, we had the Traditional Tonkotsu Ramen, Carnitas Ramen, the Chicken Ramen, and the Chicken Katsu Curry. The Tonkotsu Ramen stood out the most. It's very flavorful and balanced nicely without an overly rich or heavy taste. The Carnitas Ramen was very interesting since it's a unique fusion-style dish which surprisingly works well. The Chicken Ramen on the other hand was decent. The chicken itself was a bit dry and salty, making it the least favorite out of the three we tried. As for the Chicken Katsu Curry, the katsu is crunchy, soft and was great to have. It's not overpowering and the curry flavor was spot on.

Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying bowl of ramen. It's a great spot for friends, family, and groups. Only downside is having to deal with the wait and limited parking so plan accordingly.“

“So good! I tried the cinnamon roll and was absolutely blown away! In my option it’s the best gf cinnamon roll I’ve ever had. Even my gluten eating fiancé was impressed and said he couldn’t tell it was gf. The honey nut bread is tasty and so was the cookie that I sampled. I’m excited to try all the things!“

“Sidecar! My family loves your doughnuts. Always yummy. However , today I found out that you have nut ingredients in some of your doughnuts but you do not warn your customers by including these allergens on the descriptions of the flavors. Please change this for the continued safety of those who enjoy your products. This can be a life/death situation for some.“

“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!“

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

“Love that they use all the authentic ingredients in a Philly Cheesesteak“

“Delicious scratch-made food! I had the breakfast special and the plate was full to the brim of yummy eggs, breakfast potatoes with onions & bacon and toasted, buttered baguette! And, oh! The coffee (I had the Le Praline) was divine! My friends and I sat outside and I could almost swear I was back in Paris, leisurely watching the world go by!“

“Charming cottage has the best food and atmosphere!“
