Gluten-Free Restaurants near Pico Rivera, CA

“love this place staff is son nice“

“Great coffee and good people.“

“My wife and I had an amazing night out here. The drinks were fantastic and the vegetarian / vegan food was fantastic. Such a great atmosphere. As a vegetarian who doesn’t drink, but loves a good mocktail, I was thrilled with our experience. It was definitely the perfect date night spot. The owners were such nice people who really thought out this concept. 100% recommend for people of all diets.“

“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.”“

“I love that it's never super crowded when I go in, a helper/cashier always comes to greet me within a few seconds, the vibe is always nice and chill. I love the large varieties of cookies there and they're large! Every cookie and small pie has been absolutely delish! I just had a small key lime pie this past weekend that SO good!“

“Great food. Friendly service. Nice vibe. Haven’t been to a P.F. Chang’s in a while, but we were craving their lettuce wraps. Our server, Josh, helped me make a final decision on which tofu dish to try. So glad he did! The crispy and spicy tofu was delicious!!🙌“

“We’re huge fans of Porto’s, and visiting the Buena Park location is always a must whenever we’re on the West Coast. While we often order online from them, there’s something extra special about experiencing it in person. No matter how many times we’ve been, it never gets old—it’s always a treat.

It can definitely get busy, with lines often stretching outside the door, but the staff has the process down to a science. Every visit we've made between 10 a.m. and noon, we've been lucky—only about a 5-minute wait before placing our order. They move fast, stay organized, and somehow still manage to be friendly and attentive the entire time.

When dining in, they hand you a pager to place on your table, and everything—drinks and food—gets brought right to you. They even come around to clear the tables when you're done, which makes the experience feel that much more relaxed and enjoyable.

This time around we had the Media Noche sandwich, Lechon platter, and plantain chips, plus a good selection of pastries—cheese rolls, guava and cheese strudels, and our personal favorite, the besitos. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The Media Noche was packed with perfectly balanced, melty goodness, the lechon was tender and well-seasoned, and the plantain chips were crispy and addictive.

To drink, we ordered an iced vanilla oat latte and an iced Americano—both of which paired perfectly with our meal and pastries.

If you’re anywhere near Buena Park, Porto’s is worth the detour. The food is consistently excellent, the service is quick and efficient, and there’s something for everyone on the menu. Whether you’re dining in or taking a pastry box to go, you can’t go wrong. We’re already counting down to our next visit!“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“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.“

“Modern, clean cafe with yummy Asian inspired treats. We got their chocolate mochi brownie, miso cinnamon roll, and cream bun.

All were delicious, but the mochi brownie was our favorite. The miso perfectly complements the cinnamon roll and the roll still tastes sweet. The cream bun was so soft and not too sweet.

Street parking available nearby. Cafe has good seating, high ceilings, and modern decor.“

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

“Above average, I can say for everything. Add in and out, the only thing that is changing. Is there size of the hamburgers? Are getting smaller and also their fries. The smaller servings they're holding out on the food, but higher prices make me want to go and eat someplace else.“

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

“updated review, love the pizza, hateed the wait, service always very good, except that cashier's handles food, forks etc. Also the handle cash, CC's dirty dishes and clean tables without using gloves and actually change them after switching activities, nor or washing hands though.. I am very particular when it comes to food and utensil handling.. specially as in getting older and so many virus etc. Out there“

“A little pricey but tasty. There was a fly in the store though, feel kinda bad for whoever ends up eating the donuts it touched in the display case ? I would beware of the ready-to-serve items. Feel like they shouldn’t prop the doors open?“

“What a hidden gem. Tucked inside a pharmacy, it’s easy to miss but absolutely worth the hunt. Everything is completely vegan and gluten free, and you would never even guess. I can't begin to describe how delicious everything is here. The hibiscus donut, the churro donut, the brownie, the cream filled donut hut—every single item is incredible. This is a woman owned small business and truly something special. The prices are more than fair. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You’ll want to keep going back.“

“Strawberry Banana (mini)
Sweet banana with a tangy strawberry kick
Matcha Chocolate Truffles
Crunchy chocolate shell, soft matcha inside, with a few fresh strawberry bits on top.
🆕 Strawberry Cheesecake Crepe (with Italian strawberry gelato)
Light cream-cheese & rose-yogurt filling in a warm crepe, plus cool strawberry gelato—perfectly balanced and not too heavy.
Spicy Crabmeat Savory Crepe
Big chunks of fresh crab and veggies with a mild chili kick—huge portion, so I boxed up the leftovers.
Drinks
Dragon Nebula: Pretty pink-purple dragon-fruit drink, tastes lightly fruity.
Mangocado Nebula: Creamy mango-avocado smoothie everyone kept refilling.“

“I Love Amara!!! The best Avocado Toast in town!!! Nice atmosphere, friendly people and great service!“

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

“Delicious brunch today at Lemon Poppy. The whole family enjoyed it.“

“I recommend this great Peruvian bakery it’s so special and amazing.“

“I ordered a flat white like an hour ago.

In my opinion what makes this spot good is the type of coffee you get. Im no coffee expert but the taste you get is what I call "classic". That straight up coffee taste you know and love. Everywhere else I go tend to favor the more funky natural process coffees. I love a good funky espresso. But to find this flavor profile in a coffee shop around here, or in LA in general is pretty uncommon.

4/5 stars No Drama ?“

“As a vegan family, finding a pizza place that caters to all of us and delivers on flavor can be tough. BUT Pizzanista in San Marino never disappoints! This spot has become our absolute favorite for pizza nights, and for good reason.

Our usual order? The Vegan Sicilian Pepperoni Pizza (crispy, thick, and packed with flavor), the Vegan Margherita Pizza (classic, simple, and oh-so-good), and we always start with the vegan garlic knots because, well, they’re irresistible.

What really makes Pizzanista stand out, though, is the experience. The head chef/owner/partner (not exactly sure, but he runs the show!) is always welcoming, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do. His energy makes every visit even better.

With pizza joints on every corner, we always choose Pizzanista when the cravings hit. The quality, the flavors, and the friendly vibes keep us coming back. If you’re vegan (or just love great pizza), this place is a must-try! 🍕 - M A R K“

“love the food and service is great“

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

“It was delicious 😋 you create your own spicy soup. I’m very satisfied! Prices are good too“

“What they do have tastes delicious. From the sweet, rich pastries and cakes to the satisfying burritos and mollete, I always love what I have ordered. I can't judge the authenticity and I do wish they had a few more choices different (and healthier?) from their current selection. They do have vegetarian options, although they don't always have them in stock. The drinks also satisfy my coffee cravings.

They have free wifi, but it isn't a place to sit and work for more than a couple of hours, but they have a bathroom for customers.“

“Gutes Lokal zum Verweilen und pausieren“

“Nice place to chill, nice back patio too.“

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

“The best. Done and done. They go that extra mile when you need it most.“

“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“

“Follow the sign at Painter Avenue. Park your car at the first parking spot you see. Proceed down the driveway (look left) until you see the door in the fence. Walk to the left of the canopy and walk up the stairs to the "will call" office. Knock on the door until someone answers. They will walk you to the bakery where you can choose and pay for your bread. They take cash and cards. Excellent bread at great prices. I paid $5 for a large loaf of sourdough bread. Would definitely recommend!“

“This restaurant is MOSTLY VEGAN. A few items do have egg or dairy milk, but they are easily swapped for plant based options. This place uses fresh ingredients and makes creative dishes. I wish my tummy was big enough to eat one of everything! I got the chilaquiles and a "dirty"chai latte (dirty means it has an extra espresso shot). I don't live near by, so I'm not going to be able to visit often. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-26“

“The best and sometimes only good gluten-free pizza in the city. The cauliflower crust pizza is delicious and the mushroom pepperoni and sausage is my very favorite. I always get great service, and they're taking baked pizzas are really inexpensive and then I always have pizza on hand at home which works cuz I'm a single person!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, go here!

Parking: Not noisy but comfortable. Never a long wait, I love the Lakewood Branch!“

“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!“

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

“My kids loved the Pinl Flamingo 🌷 The La Habra location was super clean and the workers were so friendly and were very knowledgeable about there products 🍎“

“A little busy went during lunch“

“The bakery was great. Helpful service and so much to choose from. Get something early and come back for more. We enjoyed many things from here. Choose what your heart desires and then something for your stomach too lol Good seating outside and they offer the all day refill cup here too.“

“So excited and proud Sugarbird finally has a storefront. My family and I have followed Chef & Owner Kei since it first started and only had regular priority mail delivery and pickup from a co-op location in Downtown LA. I stopped by after the Montrose Farmers Market, where Sugarbird was before and I believe still is for other Farmers Markets, and Kei herself was managing the store. She was nice and really excited to finally have her own storefront. I got a free tea, free clotted cream, the tea sandwich set, six scones (ube, lemon blueberry, matcha, fig & rosemary, passionfruit & earl grey) and shortbread cookies.“

“everything because i worked there and i made everything .. everything Is freshly made everyday .. ITS the BEST .. ill back one day“

“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.“

“Ilove SugarBloom Bakery!!!My wife and I love the bake-at-home plain croissants and chocolate croissants. It is the best combo, waking up to fresh croissants every morning would be the best way to start your day!!!Did I mention I love SugarBloom Bakery, some favorites mine are: Sesame Pretzel Croissant (vegan), White Miso Kouign-Amann, Spam & Kimchi Croissant, Miso Butterscotch and Triple Threat Chocolate chunk cookies, of course the plain/ chocolate/ham and cheese croissants. Some items I want to try is the chocolate hazelnut croissant, vegan everything croissant. Anything else I should try?“

“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. ?“

“I am gluten free and vegan so this place is heaven to me. There are a few vegetarian options here but the vast majority of the menu is vegan and I think the entire menu is gluten free. Get there early for the biggest selection of pastries! Such a great spot for breakfast or lunch and they are also occasionally open for dinner.“
