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.”“

“Delicious food at a reasonable price. I ordered one of the options with multiple handrolls and chefs were attentive enough that they never stacked up, but I somehow always had one in front of me. I'd passed by it without trying it before as we were meeting up with family at another place, but I'm glad we made it back here.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“honestly would not have gone here had it not been for me being a jackass to my employers.

my job gives you a free 1-topping pizza for your birthday and i said meatlovers. apparently “meatlovers is not 1 topping” so i doubled down and said “prosciutto” to which i was told “if you can find a spot that has just prosciutto, let us know”

so here we are with a cheese pizza and a prosciutto add-on later and hey, can’t complain. you guys helped me out in my time of tomfoolery. thank you“

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

“I was in a sour mood and the line was out the door wrapping around the building. But that all completely changed when eating the cheese roll. Best thing I've had in...so long 🥲

Looking forward to coming back later this week.“

“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.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“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“

“Came here for Brioche with ricotta, honey, and pistachio. Got two croissants which were Strawberry & cream and Bacon & onion for togo. For Brioche I requested for honey on the side because I prefer to adjust the sweetness by myself and it was perfectly scrumptious. Millions out of ten! Brioche itself was soft, buttery, and tasty so it complimented very well with ricotta and honey plus a bit crunchy from pistachio. Oh one bite and I was blown away. My taste buds were dancing happily. Let’s talk about croissants. Normally, I tend to like savory croissants more than sweet croissants. However, after I tried both of them, strawberry and cream is the winner. I really like the filling. I’m not sure if it’s mascarpone or something else that went really well with strawberry jam. It’s so freaking good! Bacon and onion croissant was not bad at all but as I stated earlier, strawberry & cream is the winner for me.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Gutes Lokal zum Verweilen und pausieren“

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

“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.“

“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“

“A little busy went during lunch“

“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 place is the best yellow curry is delicious 😋 well everything is delicious really the cashew nut chicken is also a must have evey time I go with my kids they never disappoint there's plenty of parking and they always help you right away

Vegetarian options: Everything you order can be modified in spiciness and meat or no meat well mostly every thing“

“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.“

“Loved the energy here the music was great and the food was amazing 🤩“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The pastries and baked goods are delicious, but really, the food is the best. Go for lunch, you will not regret it.“

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

“Came here with my wife and got yogurt. Tart was not working so the girl kindly got it working for me. I left a $2 tip. The owner comes in at the end of her shift, takes the money from the can . I may have mistaken, but that was dirty imop. Give the tips to the workers..
Edit.. My apologies. Hopefully they have a special blend of yogurt for those so inclined to steal tips from workers. ?“
