Gluten-Free Restaurants near Gardena, CA

“As others have said, don’t let this inconspicuous shop fool you. These mochi have incredible flavor and texture, and while they are a few dollars a piece, I think hand crafted sweets deserve a little support, no?

The person that helped me was friendly and explained the various flavors so I could fill a 10pc box with a variety. My favorites were the pink mochi and imo manju. Bring cash!“

“fresh croissants are so good, I always come back for more! 🤩😋“

“Kimberley made my daughters wedding cake and then drove it up to Ojai! The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing and she was a dream to work with! She is crazy talented, has a great team, a great story. Love her.“

“I order my bday cake from here every year..Yellow cake, fresh strawberries and butter cream icing. The cake is always moist. My guests and family love and rave about it. Before u leave the cookies and pastries are phenomenal. My favorite is the maple pecan cookies, peanut butter cookies and the maple bars. Cant by get enough.“

“Oh my goodness! These cookies are delicious and addictive. Because they are so thin, and often there are little broken pieces in the bags, you can think well I'll just have these little bits. Before you know it you have eaten a bunch. My favorites are the chocolate chip cookies. Thank you to this company for finding a way to make cookie lovers out of all of us.“

“Best restaurant I've been to ever that understands and caters to Celiac, but is so good you can actually bring people who are not gluten-free and they would never know they were eating gluten-free. I was in LA for a week and ate there 3 nights. I would have gone more but they're closed on Monday and Tuesdays. The fried zucchini squash blossoms should definitely be ordered and enjoyed❣️ DPK from Plymouth, MA“

“I was at Heritage to celebrate a special occasion — the restaurant was cozy and homey. The kitchen was right in front of us, so the whole room was filled with different aromas. Both the service and food were great. The first few courses were delicious, adding a bit of extra excitement to the meal. That said, for a restaurant charging $195/person with a Michelin star, serving food and beverages on a cracked plate and in a chipped cup felt off. When I asked the staff about it, she gave me a smirk and downplayed it with some excuses and brushed it off. Better quality control may be needed as your guests deserve better.“

“OK, it’s cookies, not pastries… but oh, my, oh, my!! Delicious, imaginative cookies. We went in for 2, came out with a dozen (+ 1 for a baker’s dozen‼️).“

“This cafe is wonderful...they have really good overnight oats and their iced honey lavender lattes are delicious (I know...sounds different, but seriously try it!) The owner is super friendly and the cafe has many places to sit to enjoy your coffee. Will definitely come back:)“

“I visit Nonna Mercato once a week. They use organic ingredients and make consistently amazing food - their avocado toast, cappuccino and matcha latte are great! Pastas are good too. Highly recommend the almond croissant!

Really appreciate Brian for his super kind and attentive service, and for always smiling and welcoming folks.

Do not miss if you’re in the area!“

“Absolutely amazing spot. Friends brought me to try and loved it! Wonderful customer service too.“

“Wow. Our entire experience was phenomenal, from our first interaction with the hostess to walking out the door.

Chef Walter has created a robust, impressive Italian menu, and Scott, the sommelier, was fantastic. His knowledge of wine really stood out to me, and his recommendations made the dining experience that much better. He picked the perfect bottle for our specific food and occasion. He clearly knows his wine and brings a level of expertise and enthusiasm that makes you appreciate the entire dining experience even more.

Excellent food, exceptional service, and an all around memorable experience.“

“My visit at Bluestone Lane here in manhattan was nothing short of exceptional, the food, service, and level of customer service this establishment has will be the reason why I will come back to this cafe, Anthony made sure that my order and time here were spent comfortably and made sure I had everything I needed 10/10.“

“Ordered the seasonal rose saffron latte (iced) and I thought the espresso and syrups worked really well together and did not get lost in the milk. :) their selection of pastries is really cool, my boyfriend and i enjoyed their orange olive oil loaf and apple pie kouign-amann. Workers were nice too!“

“The food was amazing!!!! I actually ate all my food! The Godfather was Delish!“

“Visited OakBerry Açaí in Hollywood and was pleasantly surprised to find one in Los Angeles. Loved the variety of options they offer with their açaí bowls—fresh, flavorful, and customizable. A great spot for a healthy and refreshing treat. Would definitely visit again!“

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

“Friendly staff. great pie“

“Been going there for years, the best bakery in SoCal. Every time I bring a cake or cookies to a gathering, everyone always asks where I got them from!“

“Our Sunday night takeout meal of Roasted Chicken and Cheese, corn and bacon macaroni gratin was delicious. Paired with a nice French white wine, it was almost as good as eating at the restaurant. Looking forward to future offerings.“

“Amazing food! Highly recommend to anyone, regardless of dietary restrictions. It was delicious. Amazing that it’s gluten free and vegan as well. The plant-based menu still perfectly captures the flavors of sushi. I’ll be back again and again.“

“Lovely place. Unfortunately for us, we've been passing this restaurant by for years, as there is almost always a small crowd waiting outside for a table. However, today we took a chance, parked on the street near the restaurant & ventured inside. -- The decor is not fancy, but the atmosphere is friendly, light & inviting. And, the smells coming from the kitchen, as well as the custom coffee drinks was enticing.
-- Our waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, explained several dishes, answered questions we had about drinks, menu options, made solid recommendations, and easily took our orders. -- The drinks arrived fairly quickly, followed a few minutes later by our requested orders. Our meals were hot & freshly prepared as ordered (& had not been left sitting under warming lights.) The items we chose were very tasty, the fresh fruit cups were chilled & appeared to be prepped shortly before the meal was served. Very nice. Long before we had finished eating, we'd decided we would be returning to this hidden little gem on PCH to adventure further into the menu & sample some additional treats prepared by the chef & staff. We loved it. $$“

“Absolutely delicious Beautiful setting too“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“Amazing vegan menu. 💕 definitely worth a visit. Will stop in next time we are in town.“

“I secretly like this place but there is one thing that Sidecar needs to improve on is to have every donut available at lest 30mins before closing time. Also to make sure they have available bullseye passion fruit donut since it seasonal only.“

“They made the most beautiful vegan 4th birthday unicorn cake for us today ! It not only looked so special but it tasted amazing also. It was the most beautiful design and everyone commented on how fantastic it was. Thank you so much we’ll be back again !“

“This was my first time ordering from moonbowls and I will definitely be coming back! I did a build your own steak bowl, with the spicy kimchi, sweet potatoes and mushrooms - solid 10/10!

I had the spicy house sauce, the gochugang sauce, and the chili crunch sauce and they were all good! My only complaint is they use Canola oil but I did give them feedback in hopes that they will make a change down the line, unfortunately so many restaurants still use seed oils, so until it becomes the NORM to be seed oil free, I feel like I can’t really complain all that much.

If you’re in the area I would highly recommend you try this place out! The pickup experience is different as well, they have a tablet that scans your order confirmation and assuming the order is ready already, it’s placed into a self serve locker that will open for you upon you checking in.

Ps. You DO have to buy your own utensils, which they charge $0.25 for, not the end of the world but definitely something to note, as i don’t think most people are accustomed to paying for their utensils.“

“Had a great evening there during our vacation in August. Great food, great atmosphere and even greater service. We would definitely come back. Maybe during our next vacation.“

“Great place but horrible customer service !!! I wanted to order online and it was an issue with the website (availability and discount problems). At first they were really nice and reactive but then they just disappeared and ignored my messages ! I asked them 3 times to answer me but nothing….. I have never seen that in the US ! Really disappointing. And their answer on Google made it just worse. Although the shop is amazing, I won’t go anymore.“

“Came here while attending a conference at the Westin, looking for interesting coffee… and they certainly have that here. They had two different coffees on drip and I chose one from Uganda - I think my first time I’ve had a coffee from there. It was quite good. They have coffees from like 12 different countries they roast themselves at another location in bags for purchase. Really nice spaces indoors and out. Definitely recommend.“

“A joy to be at Rice, the staff so attentive, a celebration of small plates filling our table for three. A perfect sunny evening shared.“

“Great food, beans excellent.“

“We love Yanagi. Fabulous and fresh sushi, great service and there always seems to be a table for us. My tiny humans, age 10 and 7, love their sushi. At Yanagi, they are always well taken care of.“

“I bought a half dozen cookies yesterday. They were delicious, and my family loved them. Birthday cake was my favorite flavor.“

“🥰Traveled to El Segundo for other than stumbling across an unassuming brick building with "Bread Bar" on a small sign. Who would have imagined finding a world-class bakery with a splendid selection of breads and pastries. One taste and I, my family and my friends were hooked! And they ship!“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“It was so refreshing, I will be back tomorrow 😃“

“Yummy everything is delicious“
