Gluten-Free Restaurants near Fountain Valley, CA

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“My favorite sandwich shop in the country! First had it in Culver City & it’s been a go to of mine since moving to California. The Dutch crunch bread is insanely good & I can’t stop with the dirty sauce.

Huge fan. Always will be!!“

“Great food, great waitstaff, and great atmosphere. The patio is such a nice environment to dine with large groups on a nice summer day. The sense of community is great, and many of the other guests I chatted with travel over an hour just to eat here. It's just that good of a place.

They have a band which plays karaoke on weekends. The music and musicians are great, and so many guests are eager to sing! The only thing I could ask for would be for the volume of speakers to be turned down slightly. For those who enjoy a calmer dining experience, the tables inside are a pleasure.“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Marco at Urban Plates, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Marco was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience truly enjoyable. He took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and ensured our food was prepared just right. His positive attitude and attention to detail made us feel welcomed and valued as customers. Urban Plates is lucky to have someone like Marco, who clearly takes pride in his work. We will definitely be back, thanks to his exceptional service! Highly recommend!“

“The Carmel apple, vanilla custard with shaved ice and Carmel all-over, is worth driving to California. This has become our favorite family experience. For over 10 years, we never miss the opportunity to visit Lynn’s for the excellent customer service and yummy deserts!“

“Really enjoyed my visit to Season 52! The food was fresh and seasonal, and the vibe was relaxed but still nice enough for a special night out. Service was good too, Michael recommended the pork chop which I rarely get, but as he said it was an explosion of flavors, very moist with a perfect cook to it! A must try!!“

Portion to
Overall: I definitely come here when road tripping back to SF. Their pricing is fair and reasonable for the pastries and food.

The extended review...

- I got a bunch of pastries but my favorite is the coconut turnover which is on the sweeter side but very pleasant. I also got the ropa vieja which I love.

- Friendly service. Know there is a long line most of the time and parking can be atrocious.

- A lovey interior but the space is moreso dedicated to the queue line.

Portion to - Good pricing for portion size.“

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

“Everything we had was so delicious. My 12 year old non vegan son loved it all too!“

“I want to thank Flappy Jack’s for going above and beyond during our last visit. My husband collapsed and even with all the craziness of calling 911, you guys were so helpful and caring. We definitely will be back … my to go breakfast burrito so wonderful, and the salsa was delicious. 🤤“

“Super impressed with TMC! I work for TV production and it's generally hard to find a caterer to work within budget AND taste amazing, but y'all have hit the mark. Very friendly, accommodating staff (shout out to Carol) and many rave reviews. A lot of my crew has remarked about this being the best catering they've had on set, and I'd have to agree. We appreciate the hard work and hearty meals to get us through Season One!“

“I came to this plaza today because I had to take a class over the weekend here and I'm happy I was stumbled upon this pretty sweet Thai spot. The atmosphere was chill and the service was pretty friendly. I got the khao soi chicken and it was quite tasty, tender chicken, thick noodles and crispy noodles, what's not to love. I was almost tempted to order some rice to soak up more of that awesome gravy. If I was in the area I would come back again.“

“Everything is so good! and always a welcome with a big smile“

“delicious food, got the doro wot, it was amazing, chicken was perfectly cooked, feels pricey for the quantity 23$ with taxes and tips, food was sour for one of the people in my group but i like sour food so did not mind it but it was at my max level of sour tolerance might not be the place for you if you don’t like sour food.“

“Un bout de France à Newport. Merci encore pour votre passion et dedication!“

“Delicious!!! Always so good. 😋“

“I dropped by to try out some Keto Bakery. All I can say is WoW. The Pecan carmel squares, the chocolate donut, and the chocolate cream pie were down right amazing. They were sold out of the Banana cream pie. I'm gonna try that next time. Friendly staff too! 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Best food Round and the portions are awesome.“

“The best lunch & awesome staff…shout out to Brody!“

“Amazing atmosphere. Great service. Amazing people.“

“Wow, wow, wow! I've been meaning to come to this place, and I finally got the chance to go for my birthday. My bestie and I both ordered the Yamasaki Set. It was truly worth every penny! During our meal, I texted my husband that "we had to come back, so he can have the same experience that I did." It was THAT good. Our set starts off with the seafood salad (came with little white fishies, scallops, and salmon sashimi, 5 pc sashimi (smoked albacore, halibut, tuna, kanpachi, and ankimo), 3 piece nigiri (salmon, hotate, and yellowtail), 1 toro handroll, another 3 piece nigiri (mackerel, blue fin tuna, amberjack), miso soup (one of the better miso soups I've ever had since it was more rich), 1 blue crab handroll, then finish with a otoro and uni nigiri. I'm sure some pieces tend to change, but this is what we received. OMG! This was all that I wanted for my birthday. Everything was truly amazing! I'm already thinking about going back asap! The ambiance was lovely. Our service was even better. There's free parking in the plaza. Thank you again, Fisherman's Table Yamasaki for a memorable birthday dinner. One for the books!“

“I have been patronizing this business for years. They are very consistent with regard to food quality and taste, service, ambience, and value (5 stars for all.) My daughter and I shared the Diavola Pizza, as well as a (Wine Wednesday!) lovely bottle of Montepulciano. Topped it off with an order of spumoni. It was a lovely evening, and I highly recommend Il Dolce.“

“Delicious healthy food. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“The crew at Sidecar in Costa Mesa is top notch! They are the friendliest store around! Thank you so much for always looking out for your customers!“

“Awesome got to meet the owner Robert thank you for being so kind. See u next week for more NSA flavors 🖒“

“Delicious variety of cookies and so many milks to choose from. pure heaven“

“Found another perfect coffee spot in Orange County! Coffee Nature deserves every bit of these 5 stars for delivering an exceptional experience.

Their Matcha latte is absolutely outstanding— I only wish they had the additional option of pistachio or coconut milk. The matcha has this beautiful, rich flavor without any bitterness, and they manage to create the perfect silky texture that's neither too watery nor too thick. I appreciate that they ask about sweetness level too, so you can customize it to your taste.

What truly sets Coffee Nature apart, though, is their incredible service. The baristas remember regular customers and their orders and they greet you with genuine warmth. Even during their busiest rushes, the staff seem to maintain their friendly demeanor and don’t make you feel rushed.

The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, with plenty of seating options whether you're looking to work for a few hours or have a quick catch-up with friends. Their WiFi is reliable, and there are enough outlets to keep your devices charged.

Coffee Nature is a go-to recommendation for anyone looking for quality drinks, a welcoming atmosphere, and service that makes you feel like part of the family. If you haven't experienced it yet, try it!“

“Fun location with delicious entrees, salads, drinks and so much more!“

“My family of 5 celebrated two birthdays today. We ordered take-out from Santa Maria BBQ. The food was delicious!“

“Good food and good service at a moderate price“

“Always, I love to be there, everything is perfect, the food, the employees…..💜“

“Exquisite food. Excellent service. This is a walk-up pizzeria so the atmosphere is sidewalk friendly lol. Pizza was a good price Plus they put extra cheese. Definitely going to go back to this establishment. If I had to do it over again I would have called ahead or made an online order. Parking is a pain between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Parking: There's only a handful of spots for you to park. I would definitely order prior to coming to this establishment so that you can pull up, pop out of your car, get your pizza order, and slip on out of there like restock better“

“This spot was located in the same plaza as Fatima’s Grill (where we just ate). We wanted something sweet after dinner, so we decided to also try this spot.

Parking: They’re located in a large plaza. Plenty of free parking and easy to find.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a medium sized space with a decent amount of seating. There’s plenty of room to move around. I liked the decor on the walls.

Service: Shout out to our cashier Gabriel! He was knowledgeable about the menu, sizes and offerings, and gave us good recommendations. There were only 2 workers when we visited. They were quick and efficient.

Drinks: There were sooo many drinks! They also offer special deals depending on the day!

1) Cali Gurl - All drinks sounded delicious, and as tempting it was to order everything, I went with this drink. This included peach mango protein punch and collagen. The fruit flavor definitely came through. The protein didn’t overpower the peach or mango, but you can still taste it. This was really refreshing!

2) Mint Green Protein Shake - My bf ordered this with 36G of protein. It was really hard to choose bc all their shakes sound so good. This tasted as expected. Mint chocolate chip with Oreos. The texture surprisingly wasn’t too chalky. The protein blended well with the drink!

Pricing: Definitely worth the prices! Not too expensive $. Their portions are generous, especially for healthy drinks. They offer different deals each day. I received 10% off my drink bc they were offering 10% off Tea Bombs on Fridays.“

“SO SO SO GOOD! I ordered a birthday cake for my sister with a ton of food allergies, and whoever I spoke to on the phone (wish I still had her name!) was really helpful with all my questions double checking if the cake would be safe for her. Everything is very thoroughly labeled, and very delicious. The cake was super rich and tasty, and my sister grabbed a bunch of assorted pastries while we were picking up the order (the cake is down a strawberry in the front and no raspberry thumbprint cookies pictured because she ate both as soon as we were in the car.) Definitely coming back!“

“I recommend that you try everything it is some of the best Vegan food I have tasted. A very great and inviting experience loved it.“

“no me comí mi hamburguer apenas ahorita“

“We chose Penelope's Perfection to make something really special for my Mom's 100th Birthday party. The cake was spectacular. Everything & more we could have asked for. Highly recommended!“

“Everything here is good. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. Just be aware that it can get crowded, especially on game days or weekends.

Parking: Shared parking lot with the rest of the shopping center so when things get crowded, it can be hard to find a spot.“

“They have really good food“

“What's not to love? FOOD: Delicious! The Hawaiian pizza was perfectly balanced. The crust was crisp and center was chewy. Nothing was burnt, which is surprisingly common for fancy pizza. The toppings very nicely seasoned. The cake was fluffy and not too sweet. Thai iced tea was maybe a little too sweet but it hit the spot. INTERIOR: Plenty of seating space. Warm lights and vibe. PHILOSOPHY: The owner said that they ask non-vegan food to even enter the restaurant as a matter of philosophy, which seemed sincere.“

“The strawberry cream croissant were a big hit at the superbowl party I brought them to!

I highly recommend calling in to place your order ahead of time so it will be ready right when you want it. You get to skip the long line, go right to the register and pay for your order. It made for such a smooth pick up process, I was in and out under 5 minutes! The staff were also very friendly and courteous. I look forward to coming back to try other pastries when I have more spare time.“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“Great place for a quiet lunch. Attentive service and good recommendations for wine“

“Delicious variety of cookies and so many milks to choose from. pure heaven“

“The vibe and sushi/bento box were fire 🔥 🔥🔥“

“What a fantastic surprise finding a restaurant that delivers delicious plant based AND regular food! We were so pleased with the excellent quality of everything we ordered. The delivery was so fast and the prices are very reasonable!

Dietary restrictions: Creative and delicious plant based food!“

“Must stop by and visit now! They’re currently offering up to 50% off almost their entire menu! Limited time only!

Parking: This is Huntington Beach .. parking can be difficult. We got lucky with a spot right in front of the restaurant. It was metered parking with the first 2 hours being free. I noticed there was also other street metered parking across the way.

Ambiance/Environment: Very warm and welcoming. It’s very spacious with plenty of indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. Great for large groups.

Service: Shout out to our server Abril! She was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the menu, refilled our waters when needed, and checked on us while eating.

Food & Drinks:

1) Burning Titan - This was recommended to us since this was their “must try” entrees. I had the choice of substituting the meat and noodles, but I decided to leave everything as is. This only came in one size, and I’d consider it a large bowl. They were very generous with the brisket beef and amount of ramen. The soup was definitely spicy and flavorful.

2) Kung Pao Chicken - My partner wanted a rice dish. I tried his dish, and this is definitely better than Panda Express! It wasn’t too spicy though, nor was it salty. There wasn’t as many peanuts as we thought. There was a good amount of chicken to rice ratio.

3) Crispy Wonton - I like their twist on the wontons because not only did it have cream cheese, but it also had avocado! The wonton was crispppyyy with a beautiful brown color. Though, I wish it had more filling of cream cheese and avocado. Don’t forget to dip it in the sweet sauce!

4) Thai Tea with boba - This wasn’t too sweet. The boba was decently chewy. The tea had a weird aftertaste, so I think they could work on this item.

5) Vietnamese Ice Coffee - I’m a crackhead for caffeine, so of course I ordered a Viet coffee in the evening. You know it’s concentrated when they don’t fill the cup up all the way. This is what I call a Viet coffee!

Pricing: I’d say it’s definitely worth its price. We visited while they were still offering their deals. Can’t deny a bowl of pho starting at $9.99. Especially in this inflation, that’s a steal.“

“I love this spot so much. The food is great, location perfect. I eat here almost every time I'm in the area. I think it's time I try a panini next time I come through. I love that the sides aren't the usual fries and chips. The pasta salad and Cesar salad are to die for. But by far, I love the sweet touch of a little sweet treat along with the order.“
