Gluten-Free Restaurants near Lake Balboa, CA

“First time coming here & I will definitely be back! Came in at 11am on a rainy Sunday. Surprisingly the wait was 10 mins for 2 people but that might have been due to the weather. The food was incredible! I ordered the strawberry French toast while my fiancé ordered the omelette and both were amazing! It took a while for our food to come out but the service was otherwise great so I didn't mind. I'm coming back to try the rest of the menu!“

“Restaurant is beautifully designed. I loved the breakfast table setting. Genuine friendly greeting and service from Kevin was outstanding. My Croque Madame was delicious. Thank you chefs. Great job everyone.“

“Ordered the Stuffed Cheese and the Chicken Wrap. Both very tasty and full of flavor. The Stuffed Cheese had an herby, lightly salted and nutty flavor combined with the mellow white cheese wrapped in a soft dough. The Chicken Wrap was more crispy like a wood fire pizza, it comes with tomatoes, onion, cheese and pickle, very good middle eastern/Mediterranean flavor.“

“Ummm wow just amazing across the board. We were able to sample quite a bit. One of the outstanding treats was the grilled brussel sprouts. The margarita pizza was classic, but tasted a cut above, I think it's their sauce. The Caesar salad is big, and boy I ate all of mine. It had a perfect balance. Try the deep fried porta Bella mushrooms with their creamy dipping sauce, you might pass out it's so good.Next time I need a desert from their French tarts and macaroons in the glass case.“

“Great food, friendly service“

“This was the first time bringing my mommy to Gracias Madre , she loved it . Food as always amazing , staff amazing, Something that was good but could of been a bigger portion was the L.A Princesss drink, kind of small for the price . But very delicious“

“Chocolate Oreo Ice Cream! Let me tell you it definitely hit the spot, one of the best ice creams I've tried I can see why it's one of their top flavors. I got the single scoop and it's a good amount of serving but I should have gotten a double scoop for sure! If you love chocolate ice cream and Oreos, then this is the perfect flavor for you. Although, there is a hint of coconut in the aftertaste in case you're not too huge on coconut. But the actual flavor overpowers it. We went late at night but the service was still good! You have to be careful not to miss the window it's right next to a small coffee shop. There's a few chairs around to sit after or you can walk around and see the other shops around. Very small space but great ice cream! I will definitely need to go back and try other flavors!“

“We came here for Easter Sunday brunch yesterday. It’s a cute restaurant with friendly staff.However, I expected the food to taste better…I ordered their classic breakfast pizza suggested by the server. First of all, it looked great. I’m not a fan of the fake bacon because it tastes like paper. After the first couple of bites, I realized the pizza was barely edible because of the amount of big rosemary leaves added in the pizza dough. I had to hand picked them out of the pizza to avoid tasting the ‘soapy’ rosemary flavor… and I love rosemary in general. Just not THIS MUCH. I asked my friends to also taste my pizza and they all told me I should send it back.Luckily, our server took it back right away and gave me the option to change to a different pizza.The second pizza I ordered was margarita pizza. It was pretty blend. But at least edible.I do need to say their menu is probably a hit or miss. My friends ordered the breakfast burritos that they enjoyed a lot. Which is why I’m leaving it 4 stars.Note: very limited street parking and $20 valet parking.Parking: Very limited street parking and $20 valet parking.“

“I got there late at night close to closing time. Their doors were open and I was warmly welcomed for the first time. I chose a large array of delicious looking cookies and ones I was familiar with. They are all delicious, my favorite being the flourless almond fudge brownie.“

“My husband and I love this little gelato shop so much! The owners pour so much love into their business and delicious rotating menu of flavors (and they are probably the ones you’ve met if you stopped by). As someone with celiac disease, I also can’t believe everything is homemade and gluten free (and their waffle cones are objectively delicious). Our nephews and niece are big fans as well, and they even had sprinkles for the kiddos.Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free, and lots of dairy free options as well.“

“One of the best restaurants in Los Angeles with staying power! The room was completely full on a Wednesday night. Of course chef Suzanne Tracht was there, greeting guests, making sure everyone was having a great time. That's the recipe for success: valuing your staff and customers.“

“Excellent service and enjoyed the St. Patrick’s Day Menu! Thank you for a great experience.“

“5/5 Written from a former bakery owner. My family owned a bakery in Detroit for 40+ years and sold it during Covid in 2021. I know baking and so does Toluca Bakery. Excellent customer service. Family owned shop with the mom and son working when my friend and I went in. So much variety, and the price point is low for all you’re getting.This is a bakery making old school, classic recipes. They veganized so many items that you can’t find in most places. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious, concha’s super tasty, Tres Leches was chef’s kiss, turnover amazing, danish great, cupcakes yum, eclairs fantastic and empanadas scrumptious. Highly recommend. Plus for folks who like supporting small business, this is exactly that. It’s a win-win-win-win. Taste-options-price-family owned & operated. Get there!“

“Solid American Restaurant serving up good burgers and drinks!They have a solid tap list for beer!House chips are crunchy and addicting.Their fries are crispy and solid with the aioli sauce!Burgers are supposedly American wagyu! It was a nice melt in your mouth patty. The toppings are something serious. Amazing bacon, pretty good mushrooms, delicious camerlized onions. It tasted even better in the toaster oven the next day.Service was good, they were busy waiting many tables. Donavan was helpful and attentive.Nice interior decoration. Good feelingI would come back again for the burger and beer!“

“The absolute best coffee and doughnuts in the valley! The doughnuts are gluten free and more cakey than the classic fried doughnut- but amaaazing! Their ube and soy sauce are the best flavors in my opinion. Their sea salt cream iced coffee is delicious- strong, perfectly sweet, and creamy! The owners are also the sweetest people and put so much love and care into their products! This place is 11/10“

“Just moved into the neighborhood and this has become my go-to spot for coffee and a bagel before work. ☕️the lavender honey lattes are delicious! Friendly and helpful staff who welcomed me. And the wait is not long at all. During the eclipse they had glasses so I was able to see it ??“

“Amazing gluten free bagels! Their products are by far the best GF in the area. As a parent of a child with Celiac’s Disease it is sigh of relief to not only find a 100% gluten free establishment, but a bakery where EVERY single item is delicious!Dietary restrictions: Great for people with Celiac Disease.“

“Thyme Pizza is a delightful Persian restaurant that offers more than just pizza. Arthur, the owner, exudes warmth and hospitality, making every visit feel like a special occasion. The food is exceptional, with unique flavors and fresh ingredients that set it apart from traditional pizzerias. Whether you're craving a classic pizza or eager to explore Persian cuisine, Thyme Pizza delivers an unforgettable dining experience.“

“I went to this restaurant two times this week. It has to be the best vegan restaurant in the valley. The food is extremely tasty. Such wonderful flavors wonderful service, very fast service and very very nice people who run the restaurant. It is very neat clean and organized. I can’t wait to come again and again and again.“

“Cutest date night spot!!! you MUST sit on their patio and admire the mural and stretch out your legs. The food reallllllyyyyyy hit, we got butter chicken, aloo gobi and papri chaat, DELISH. And as a special treat, the owner gave us some kheer for dessert ?“

“Stumbled into this place by chance and we’re so happy we did. Casual, non pretentious joint with excellent service. Menu is super accommodating to all dietary restrictions and requests. I got the green casserole, bc it sounded so different from anything I’ve seen on a menu before—it did not disappoint. Drinks were on point. Everyone in our party also enjoyed their meal.“

“Excellent cuisine (our 4 different dishes were all wonderful).the meals were very generous.Very kind staff. Great atmosphere and music!Prices are very affordable compared to other restaurants.We were well seated and the service was quite quick.Parking: Restaurant parking was paid but not very expensive.1 dollar per hourKid-friendliness: This establishment is suitable for children.There are children's menus.“

“Basil's Deli Cafe in Woodland Hills is an absolute gem, and my repeated visits speak volumes about its excellence. I've savored their culinary delights on five separate occasions, and each time has been a flavor journey beyond compare.Let's start with their hot pastrami sub; it's a masterpiece of tender meat, perfectly seasoned and nestled within a fresh, fluffy bun. The flavors meld together in perfect harmony, leaving a lingering satisfaction that keeps me coming back for more.The Philly cheesesteak is a classic done right at Basil's. Juicy, succulent strips of beef, smothered in melted cheese, all encased within a crusty roll – it's a carnivore's dream come true. Each bite is a symphony of textures and tastes, showcasing the culinary prowess of the chefs.Now, onto the spicy Gia, Maria Mamma Mia Panini – a mouthful in more ways than one. This fiery creation packs a punch with every bite, yet it's balanced with the richness of melted cheese and the freshness of quality ingredients. It's bold, it's daring, and it's utterly addictive.Their chicken pesto Panini is a testament to simplicity done right. Tender chicken, fragrant basil pesto, and gooey cheese come together to create a symphony of Italian flavors. It's comfort food at its finest, leaving me feeling satisfied and content with each indulgent bite.In summary, Basil's Deli Cafe is a culinary haven where every dish is crafted with care and passion. Whether you're craving a hot pastrami sub, a classic Philly cheesesteak, or something with a bit of a kick, you're guaranteed to find satisfaction here. With each visit, I'm reminded of why I keep returning – the impeccable taste, the friendly service, and the unforgettable dining experience. It's a true gem in Woodland Hills, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an out-of-this-world dining experienceParking: Parking is ample easy to findWheelchair accessibility: Easy flat access“

“Super delicious cupcakes. They're soft and sweet, but not too sweet like some other cupcakes. Great flavors that taste real. We moved 45 mins away and still drive back for the cupcakes on special occasions. The owners are really nice too.“

“So good! I tried a number of menu items and loved each. The shrimp soup was perfectly spicy and packed with wonderful flavors, the appetizers (hot wings and chicken skewers) were outstanding and my entree - pad see ew with beef was just perfect. The service was ideal - helpful fast and informative. I'll definitely be back very often!“

“Visiting from WI, randomly chose Mr Pizza and I was blown away! The guys in charge seem to really care about the food they send out. Not much of a dining room, I would recommend just doing carry out. That being said the ingredients and overall taste were FANTASTIC, one of the top 5 pizzas I’ve ever eaten! If you’re in Van Nuys give these guys a shot!“

“Brigadeiros are very rare to find in LA, so I consider myself lucky indeed to live near not just any brigadeiro shop, but an incredibly top notch brigadeiro shop. Maya herself is usually working behind the counter, and is such a kind and helpful person with any questions you might have about the sweets. And not just sweets--I also highly recommend the pão de queijo that she makes, perfectly cheesy and gooey Brazilian cheese bread! Lastly, Maya's brigadeiro favor boxes for weddings and parties are incredible, if you're looking for a truly unique favor that all your guests are sure to enjoy. We had brigadeiros as favors at our wedding, and Maya was beyond helpful throughout the entire process in choosing and designing the boxes, as well as which flavors to pick out. Couldn't recommend her more highly!“

“Ike's has the best vegetarian subs around! Well, from what I've tried anyway. Few months back I tried their Freddy Krueger sandwich (not vegetarian) on their dutch crunch and it was great. The dutch crunch is delicious. I also tried their James and the giant peach recently and it'll be my go-to anytime I visit for sure! All the ingredients come together perfectly and the vegan fried chicken is good too! Their sandwiches come with a candy (caramel apple lollipops) and as someone with a sweet tooth, I love it. Service was good and my sandwich came out in a timely manner. It's a great place to grab a bite after running errands in the plaza.“

“I love this cafe so much, my favorite spot to hang in Topanga for the true canyon experience. So many interesting locals to meet and chat with. Claire, the owner is an angel! She is french and has brought the beautiful french cafe vibes but has combined them with the quirky, fun Topanga vibes. Get the breakfast burrito!Vegetarian options: Love all the veggie options!“

“Today was my 1st time ordering at Leo’s. I ordered the hot hash bowl & it was so delicious I had to take it home! Parking is easy at this restaurant & the cashier gave me excellent customer service. I didn’t order a drink but he gave me a cold glass of water while I waited for my food to finish cooking. The cook is very special. She definitely knows what she’s doing in that kitchen. As society becomes more health conscious, I really hope places like these get more attention & customers. Being a small business owner myself, I hope Leo’s stays in my community & continues to thrive. I recommend you try this place. The food tastes amazing & the atmosphere is positive. Good vibes!“

“Perfectly spongy vanilla cake with sweet strawberry filling! The berries were delicious. Cake was smooth and spongy and not too sweet! Love it! They wrote in my birthday message with beautiful writing. I will definitely return to try some of their other pastries!“

“First time I even noticed this yogurt shop inside of Gelson's. I figured I'd give it a try. Glad I did. First off, Fernando and Kevin are awesome. Very pleasant. Fernando allowed me to try as many flavors as my heart desired. The service he provided was excellent. I tried their sweet vanilla and vanilla tart yogurt, chocolate yogurt, and some of their ice cream flavors. Everything was absolutely delicious. I ended up getting the vanilla sweet yogurt mixed with the vanilla tart yogurt. It was the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The texture of the yogurt is very smooth. Absolutely loved it. They also have a huge selection of low carb and low sugar flavors they alternate daily (see attached monthly calendar for flavors). Looking forward to trying how these taste next time I come. Highly recommend this place!“

“The vegan ice cream is great here. We enjoyed it very much. 24 flavors, many fruity, I would say the most interesting was pickle pear, which tastes literally like pitaya fruit! We loved the flavor apple pie so much! And we got also all 3 kinds of vegan chocolate flavors. Each was perfect. And they have also vegan cones. Nice service, nice atmosphere and area. Thank you!Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled lactose, gluten, soy -free and other allergen free ice creams by symbols.“

“I've been coming to Bea's since I was a child. I love this bakery. I remember the original location on Ventura Blvd & Topanga Cyn. That was in the 1960s and 70s. Bea was always there, and she was lovely. Whenever a child comes into Bea's and give them a cookie. I told one of the employees about that. He gave me a cookie. We laughed, and I thanked him. It was great!“

“Amid the sun kissed streets of Beverly Hills, Chaumont Vegan Bakery is a hidden gem that captured my taste buds. The almond croissant, in particular, stands out as a vegan delight that surpasses expectations. Its flaky layers embrace a rich almond filling, creating a symphony of flavors that lingered on my palate.The bakery's ambiance strikes a balance between rustic charm and modern appeal, providing a comfortable backdrop for my culinary experience. The staff, are welcoming, relaxed and friendly, which made my visit feel warm and inviting.I adore chaumont for its serious approach to classic pastries and great coffee, in a relaxed setting.“

“Yummy! I've been really into acai lately. When I got a job in Century City, I found myself going to the Century City mall on a daily for lunch. During one of my lunch outings, I came across Oakberry Acai. When I entered, I was getting huge Deja Vu. I realized that I had been there once before thanks to a Yelp event. Since my experience went well during the Yelp event, I already knew I was going to like it.The place was clean and straight to the point. I was greeted by a nice gentleman who helped me order. I got an acai with granola, chia seeds, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. It definitely hit the spot! It tasted fresh and it was filling. Thank you!!“

“Popped in tonight for a last minute treat as it was my son's 6th birthday. He was wearing a birthday crown and Walter came out and treated my son like an absolute king!!! He made him feel so special and even gave him 2 cookies on the house! That never happens in this town. Thank you, Walter, for your exemplary customer service and delicious cookies!!“

“Awesome gluten free donuts.... In a variety of flavors.... And never fried! My favorite is pancakes & syrup, strawberry shortcake and of course... Churro! Their all-natural, Fotella (Nutella alternative), is also awesome. Order your sourdough early, because they sell out early. Highly recommend.“

“The staff is always friendly and look like they enjoy working here. My favorite menu item is the nachos.....always good and SO BIG!! It comes in a pizza box. Today they were decorating for Cinco de Mayo and having fun getting the whole team involved. Highly recommend.“

“Was grateful to find this location not only had good looking pizza but they delivered! First impressions on the pizza alone, were great and happily surprised. The pizza was thin and crispy, and did not encounter a soggy pizza moment. The pizza options they offered were also refreshing, I ordered a spinach pizza and did not regret it! It was simple but delicious and a combination I had never come across before. The Hawaiian pizza was also great and I found myself wishing I had ordered the larger size.“

“Delicious treats!! Tips for this location: This location is not their storefront!! this is where their production kitchen is located. this location is for advanced order pickups. second: they do not have a display case and do not have cakes, pies or breakfast items for same day orders. you have to order this stuff in advance. third: always call to see what they have available. it is a very limited menu. call their storefront in west hollywood if you need cakes or anything else. *ALSO* They are not a vegan-exclusive bakery! Nor is it a gluten free facility.“

“I came here for my birthday and loved the atmosphere of the place. Josè and Rolando, the waiters, were great with their service, always attending to us and whatever we needed. I ordered a large plate of spaghetti and it did not disappoint. The portions are HUGE so I highly recommend bringing multiple people. They gave us a sundae and sang a song afterwards as well! Amazing experience and highly recommended.“

“just got my gluten free sampler box and can't wait to dig in all the way. so far everything is great!“

“I love this delivery service for:- Prompt Customer Service- Good quality healthy food- New delicious options delivered daily- Flexible delivery plan- They reuse cooler bags and ice packs (love the leak-proof ice packs)- Recyclable food containers- Loyalty program - They promise to pick up the last bag if you wish to cancel the service (haven't tested)“

“I’ve enjoyed Diddy Riese cookies since I was a child and I’m in my fifties now. I live in Northern California but whenever I come back to LA I made a vow to visit and purchase these delicious cookies. It’s a tradition for me and my family. It’s a part of my life’s story. I appreciate Diddy Riese for their affordable prices and quality desserts that they have consistently delivered for over 35 years.“

“I absolutely loved my experience at Araya's Place. It's located in a small shopping center with other business with free parking. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a relaxed vibe. The service and the food are amazing. The staff are attentive and provided excellence customer service. I loved that all of the food came out hot and fresh. I ordered the fried spring tolls, dumplings, spicy noodles and yellow curry and everything was delicious and full of flavor. Araya's is now my #1 spot for yellow curry. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes. I highly recommend Araya's place. Enjoy!“

“My family and I went to Uncle Bernie's Deli for an early dinner the other night. We all loved the big spacious dining room with high ceilings and a skylight. It made the room light and bright and airy which is always enjoyable. I had the half sandwich and soup combination. I chose matzo ball soup (there's a small up charge for matzo ball soup) and a 1/2 pastrami sandwich. It was served with my choice of side. I chose the French fries. The matzo ball soup was delicious and was so filling that I could only take a few bites of my pastrami sandwich (which was also delicious) before I asked for a to go container. My daughter ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich which, unfortunately, she didn't know came with mushrooms. The menu doesn't describe anything, it just lists everything, and my daughter is used places where you have to request mushrooms so it didn't occur to her that they would come on the sandwich. Unfortunately she doesn't like mushrooms, so we got the waitresses attention and told her that we didn't know it came with mushrooms and that my daughter doesn't eat mushrooms. The waitress very quickly offered to have the sandwich remade. It was so nice that she didn't have an attitude about it at all. Also ordered by members of my family were the fish plate (enough for my mom and stepdad to share) and a cheeseburger with a fried egg on top. Everyone said their food was delicious. The service was great throughout our meal. As we were finishing our meals the restaurant suddenly became busy with other patrons so it took a little while to get the check, but we were happy to sit and chat. We will definitely go back to this establishment.“

“Should be 4.5 stars! We ordered the bbq wings and the goomba pizza I think it was called. The wings were $11 for 6 which for the price… they were good but I wouldn’t spend that money on them again. Now the pizza… even for $22 my goodness… might be the best pizza I’ve ever had. I thought it was gonna be super dense but the dough was light and fluffy and just perfect. Crispy cheese on the side and gooey cheese on top was just perfect in every way. We also used the spicy honey and that took it to another level I didn’t know existed! Will definitely come back for the pizza!!!“

“I love this place. The food is great, the coffee is very, very nice and the staff are kind. Their patio is comfortable with beautiful artwork. I love the value it adds to the neighborhood, having somewhere nice to relax in walking distance.“

“Great restaurant for pancakes and desserts.“
