Gluten-Free Restaurants near Downey, CA

“made a reservation for 9:15 and didn't get seated till almost 10. people who came in that had reservations for the same time got seated right away and i unfortunately did not. i also had to go to the counter to ask what was going on. i love bjs but i don't know why i made the reservation if i had to wait“

“The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. The place wasn’t busy, and the service was impressively fast. I ordered the Buffalo Ranch Mac and the Pad Thai to go, and both were ready within 10 minutes. The food was tasty and fresh—definitely a great spot if you’re looking for a quick, quality meal to take out. Highly recommended!“

“The place is friendly and clean...I placed an order in the morning and my cookie cake was ready in three hours...great for events, and the summer watermelon cookie was a hit.. plus I got 2 bucks off my cookie cake. Thanks guys p.s. Order a chiller, they are pretty darn good, my kids loved them. They have a coupon for those as well, but still love the cookies!!“

“The food is delicious, and food presentation is attractive and elegant. The service is friendly and professional. The ambience is simple and elegant.

It’s hard to find good gluten free. And this is good food. Highly recommended.“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“Fresh, flavorful sushi and incredibly friendly service! Every roll was beautifully made and full of clean, vibrant flavors. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is attentive, and the prices are fair for the quality. Easily one of my new favorite sushi spots!“

“We had a dinner get together with family about 20 people… the food was great but Alejandra who waited for us was phenomenal. Can you imagine 20 of us, but we never had to ask for another drink, she automatically filled our glasses and she had a smile all the time. She was good in assisting our gluten free family members on what food items was available. We didn’t have to wait long for the food to be served. The service was smooth, she was quick, polite, and patient…she is one of a kind…we all enjoyed our dinner and time with family. Thanks to you Alejandra!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food was superb! The decor was nice exactly what an Italian restaurant looks like but, the death metal music was too loud and didn't match the Italian vibe to create an authentic ambiance. I had to shout across the table to my husband...I'd definitely stop for pizza again however, I'd take it to go.“

“Omelete sandwich and beet salad were delicious. Berry lemonade was refreshing. Pastries are divine.“

“It's always pretty busy but for good reasoning. The salads are fresh, crisp, and have great assortments of ingredients that place them right on the intersection of healthy & indulgent!!! I loved the chicken ceasar, but the apple pomegranate is truly something else! The soup they have as a special right now is everything I look for in a soup; warm, comforting, and hearty. The bread they serve with it dipped in the broth is the icing on the cake. Everybody already knows that they nail the sugary stuff! Their baked goods are dangerously delicious. My fave dessert is Tiramisu and Porto's NAILS IT! Their marscapone cream is super light and airy and with the little bits of chocolate and ladyfingers, along with that espresso flavor?! UGH. It's incredible. They do great strawberry matchas btw, their creamy strawberry puree is what makes it special. You can tell it's not artificial flavoring. I love the tea bags they use in their earl greys as well! I've had many cheese and guava danishes at various events along with trying other desserts at birthdays and my two dine in visits thus far, and I'VE NEVER bern disappointed. Porto's is peak indulgent comfort food, made with ingredients that I feel are high quality. Id also say personally, that I feel like everything is a good price for how fresh it is! Annette is a total sweetheart and a literal ray of sunshine by the way, her customer service is amazing!!! Jason gave my sister and I amazing service as well! Our family loves Porto's! 🫶🏻😊“

“This place is always busy. We find seating there at the counter and we do not need to wait for 20 minutes. We love the bean soup? And the apple pie was great.“

“We were able to do the northern lights dinner, which is very difficult to get a reservation for so we were blessed. We really enjoyed the evening and the service and the food was excellent. I give a four because the first three courses were just sublime, but that final entrée seemed to me to not be as good as the first three but it was delicious, just not as scrumptious as the first three courses. These special dinner events are a you must try and I love everything that Nonna Mercado serves.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“I absolutely love your Pastries, the Vanilla Oat Milk was a recommendation from one of the workers and it was a hit!“

“Highly reccomend! My husband and I went to a dinner party and between the four of us we have all the allergies. This bakery was a wonderful surprise! My guests were so impressed! The “cream filled” Hostess cupcake dupe was a huge hit! Cinnamon crumb coffee cake, and pumpkin spiced donuts were also phenomenal!“

“amazing mochi!!! don't forget to check out their seasonal flavor“

“The tea leaf salad is delicious. Wonderful service and an extremely clean restaurant“

“I have been to the 2 Little Tokyo locations and this one is definitely the winner! there’s a huge variety of pastries and things to eat for a quick bite (you might probably have to eat it standing or elsewhere during the weekends since it gets pretty packed and there’s just 3 tables!) but the steamed buns were good!, the matcha mochi wasn’t too sweet so it was perfect, the almond croissant was fine but their specialty is definitely on other pastries! will definitely come back again to try more stuff.“

“HOW I GOT BACK MY HUSBAND I am sharing this testimony to partners suffering in their relationships because there is an enduring solution. My husband left me and our 2 kids for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong just for my kids but I could not control the pains that torment my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed a help, so i did a research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr Ozole spell caster, can help get my lovers back. I contacted him and he did a special prayer and spells for me. To my surprises, after some days, my husband came back home. That was how we reunited again and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family. You can as well contact Dr. Ozole , a powerful spell-caster for solutions on his page today #drozolespellhome“

“Muy bueno!! la Nina fue muy linda. Se llama mayra muchas gracias!!! ☺️☺️☺️“

“Great bakery! Good prices, very clean. Goods are creative too!“

“Absolutely incredible vegan dishes and top notch service! We stumbled on Rice when looking for vegan options; so happy we did! Dishes we tried: vegan crisp rice sampler, miso soup, garlic edamame, homemade ginger ale and the crispy dynamite role vegan. Everything was so good! The ginger ale was next level - highly recommend! We got homemade pickled ginger with the roll and it was unbelievably tasty and fresh. The miso soup was a nice surprise as most are not vegan; a broth that built upon each sip and the tofu was also homemade. The crispy dynamite vegan roll had such a unique and deep flavor - more smokey than spicy. I can't recommend the food enough. Thank you to the chef and for the exceptional service. What a treat!!“

“A little busy went during lunch“

“These cookies are amazing! I’ve sent them to everyone I know.“

“Gutes Lokal zum Verweilen und pausieren“

“Good service, good drinks and food. Line gets long but they work hard to be fast. Despite being so busy they had good customer service the few times I ordered, more places could be as good as they are in terms of service and being personable.“

“Good food and good service at a moderate price“

“Was next door at the optometrist. Saw they had vegan options. Walked in nice place lots of vegan vegetarian options. There cupcakes, cookies, Bundt cake , donuts and ice cream. All gluten free. Decided to try the filled cupcake and Bundt cake. Had good texture and sweetness. Everything is labeled very well so you if it vegan or vegetarian or egg free.“

“I wanted to try this bakery because I was in the area. It is a small bakery just pick up. There is no seating, but the bakery is clean and pleasant. I met the owner who was friendly and helpful. It was so nice to be able to eat a gluten free, low carb dessert. The items we did purchase were fresh, moist and delicious. It was a bit pricey, but when you like baked goods, and can’t have gluten in it and or are diabetic this is a nice solution.“

“Amazing bar in the heart of South Park. Solid food options and a seasonally changing menu. Great outdoor patio for SoCal weather and indoor spaces for private parties. Solid liquor line up from lesser known boutique spirits to the mainstays. Friendly bartenders that know your drink and walking distance to Crypto Area/ LA Live / Convention Center. Every neighborhood should have a place like Prank.“

“Thank you so much for making such a beautiful birthday cake and delivered to Parkers Lighthouse which the cake was thought beautiful by even staff. Will always come back to the Creative Bakery. Thank you again.“

“This CPK is always nice, clean and such a friendly atmosphere. Today wasn't the greatest day for me and these awesome ladies made it Better. Molly came and opened the door with a smile @ the take out section. She asked me how was my day on the spot. ( She could've just said hi and kept it pushing) So freaking pleasant. Her ora exudes flowery positive all over the place vibes. (Ppl appreciate that!!!) Ashley took my order Sweet & patient. She was loving on Thor while he was peeking on the side of the counter. Molly came to me with a very sweet Gesture while in the process of multi-tasking a little problem with a plate and took care of it immediately. Observing that let's me know that they take care of their coustomers. Another employee asked me if my puppy wanted water. I was in awwwww. Then out of no where a lady in blue approaches & while also loving on Thor, informed me that pets are allowed to eat in the out door area of the restaurant per Management. The kind lady Jackie was management!!! I can't say even due to having Thor with me I was getting special attention because of his 😍. I come in here I didn't know Molly's name @ the time but her positive vibes have not changed. Ms. Jackie helped me & Thor to the car, with my food (which she did not have to do) out of the kindness of her heart! And she gave me some special tips on my knee. LOL. I'm raving about the service, I haven't even talked about my meal. Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp & Butter cake. All was good. Once again Thank you so much ladies.“

“This place came to the rescue!!! The wedding cake I had made fell over on the long drive. It was a disaster!! Other bakeries near the wedding venue were already closed and others needed at least 48 hour notice… the wedding was happening NOW. I called Sonora Bakery in my final desperate attempt, explained the situation, sent them a picture of the cake and within minutes, they got to work. The cake was delicious and the wedding was saved. Thank you Sonora Bakery…. You have a customer for life!“

“The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.“

“love the food and service is great“

“Went to pick up a dozen cupcakes to try for our wedding. Great service very helpful“

“Delicious!!! Definitely coming back. Great friendly service!…🥰“

“Coffee is better than Starbucks. Variety choices of desserts was fun“

“Sunfare is such an amazing company. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful! The food tastes great, and it makes meal planning so simple by delivering a cooler of fresh meals daily.“

“Stopped by on Tuesday cause it was near my cousins house and didnt want to show up empty handed for a visit, Manys Donuts was not only convenient but afforded an old school dining experience. The hostesses generosity and hospitality are a major plus. Donuts are fresh and the texture of their pastries are perfect. Definitely will be stopping by next week.“

“They really need to update their hours, the food is awesome, but I came here on Friday at 2:25pm and the gal at the front desk said they close in 5 minutes. Their hours on google is incorrect. Very disappointing! I drove 20 minutes to get here 😕“

“Came here with my friend and the drinks were solid. I got the Osmanthus Tropic and Thai Tea for my friend. Solid Thai tea flavor and quite standard.Their fruit teas are way better though. The Osmanthus Tropic was flavorful and fruity with a deeper tea flavor. I got it with crystal boba. Id recommend this!“

“First off, Terrific Customer Service at the Long Beach, CA location! The manager is amazing. So helpful with recommendations when asked, provides great detail, and is so enthusiastic about the incredible menu. Tocaya at 2nd & PCH has lovely, fresh, bright, clean food. The menu is unique and flexible. You get to choose the protein you want, the cheese you want, whether or not you want your dish to be vegan. So many options and super tasty food! My friend really enjoyed the VEGAN Asada & VEGAN Tinga tacos. I loved my Taco Salad with gluten-free, battered & fried mahi-mahi (that was so, so scrumptious) with Queso Fresco. I swapped and got the cilantro lime dressing (instead of the roasted poblano dressing) and my bowl of goodies was delicious. We shared and relished the Street Corn and the (VEGAN) Queso & Chips. We were both shocked to find the Queso was VEGAN; it’s that good! We also tried the vegan Crema, just to check it out — SO yummy. AND the obviously homemade chips were mouthwatering. Tocaya has seasonal Sangria selections, beer, and other interesting drink options. They’ve got indoor and outdoor seating… and I recommend you head over soon!“

“Such a cool place! I got an iced oat milk latte with maple (they don’t have honey, but I had no idea maple was so delicious in coffee!). The gentleman working was very friendly and the atmosphere for the place was awesome. I also go a vegan pastry that exceeded my expectations. Will be back!“

“A paradise where you can go to get away from it all“

“I rarely can find vegan sweets at theme parks. The Berry Tart appears to be more common, but they do offer some seasonal treats. The Berry Tart did have undisclosed nuts, pistachios. If you have allergies I would probably not go to this place. Based on my experience with other restaurants at Knotts, they do not take food allergies very seriously.“

“Best. Cappuccino. Ever. It was bold without being bitter, incredibly smooth, and with great mocha notes.“

“Cakes that taste as good as they look! have ordered 3 cakes from them and they haven't let me down yet!“

“Love their bread! It's always fresh and they're always putting out new product too. Tried a few of their loaves that had plums and cherries inside. It was a dense bread but perfectly chewy. They also had ube rolls that were buttery and delicious. Super nice and they treat their customers right!“

“Such a cute little coffee shop!
Food: I had ordered 3 food items and forgot to take a picture. It was the avocado toast and peanut butter & banana toast. And a chocolate croissant. Súper bomb! Would definitely order all 3 again.
Drinks: Tried their coffee fall flight…and wow! Genius. Hope it’s a year round option and can choose other options when seasonal drinks aren’t in.
Staff: super nice & attentive.
Place: Very clean, easy to find seating. Parking wasn’t hard. Went here around 9-10am.“
