Gluten-Free Restaurants near Richmond, CA

“Simurg Bakery provides great baklava to the ones missing a professional taste in USA. Go for it!“

“I spoke with the owner and staff they are professional and extremely nice, my pizza was fresh and delicious my name is Vickie and I will be going there for now on when I want a good pizza. They are new by the fire station right across street in point Richmond.“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

“I thought this place was pretty good, but I wasn’t overly impressed, so I think it’s maybe a little overhyped. Food was good. Service is pretty good atmosphere was all right. We sat outside and it was pretty chilly and they didn’t have the heaters running.“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“Nice cafe with a good selection of drinks and food right off the main thoroughfare. Upon walk in you are able to see a menu showcasing all of their drinks and food. They have acai bowls, a huge assortment of pastries, crepes, etc. everything has Brazilian flair which was cool. We ordered acai bowls which are big for their size and jam packed full of fresh fruit. Honestly, one of the best acai bowls I’ve had, presentation wise and taste wise. The coffees were also good, but nothing spectacular. The light pastry we ordered was very good and fluffy. You can see the assortment of pastries as you go through the check out, as it’s a bit like a school lunch line. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a trendy but quiet spot to have a good meal and a cup of coffee.“

“Upbeat generous dude with tasty wholesome food.“

“Great organic and delicious wraps burritos and plates thank you 😊“

“What a lovely surprise to find such tasty, healthy food so close to home, friendly staff, on time! Lightly cooked but high-protein and *yummy*“

“sourdough croissants, the corn cherry and oat scones, sundry shortbread flavours that are always exquisite...and today, a new treat, a lil pizza" bakers special" with kale and mojo and crust texture inexplicable, beyond magic. ✨👍🏽✨“

“I have been wanting to try this place for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did. The food was very fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced for the quality. The braised lamb sandwich had soft flatbread, crunchy herbs and vegetables, a tangy sauce, and perfectly tender lamb. The service was friendly, warm, and the food came out quickly. Fava is a lovely lunch spot and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant lunch in North Berkeley.“

“The olive bread was amazing, as well as the croissants and other pastries. The service was off the charts, truly exceptional! Highly recommended.“

“Both hands up for this wonderful coffee place I happened to stumble upon, right outside the skirts of Downtown Berkeley. They're located right on the intersection of MLK and University, right behind the Indian restaurant.

This coffee place is honestly a little bit small, so please proceed with caution at all costs. But it really makes you feel cozy at home. They do have upstairs seating, but rather really limited. It will be full at times, and at times, not at all. It depends on the time that you go.

They have a wide assortment of sweet and savory pastries available as well. I got their ham & cheese scone, as well as their speciality drink, their banana cream iced coffee. I love how balanced their iced coffee is with the banana cream, which surprisingly, is made with ACTUAL banana puree made from actual bananas.

The barista who made my drink was very nice and very chill, and served it rather quick. That's what's up!

If you're looking for a locally-owned coffee shop right here in Berkeley, look no further than Bench Coffee! Trust me, it will be a trip worth it :)“

“Such a magical place!!! Great food and the owners make you feel at home. Love it!“

“healthy portions of healthy food, how can you beat that?“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“I enjoy this restaurant very much. The food is excellent and fresh. it’s served hot every time. The servers can speed up with taking orders but otherwise, they are o.k. The restaurant is ok. The seating is too close for me but I get it. There’s No parking. It’s excellent.“

“Hella good pizza. great theme“

“one of my favorite places in the country to eat. whenever I'm in the Bay area, in here“

“Wow, unbelievably delicious, and a beautiful, calm vibe, too! A wide selection of amazing-looking salads to mix and match; I got one with figs, fennel, and goat cheese and one with sweet potatoes and roasted tomatoes, and both were super-good. The salads come with rice and arugula, and you can add extra proteins if you want. Very enjoyable — I’ll be back!“

“Thank you Third Culture for satisfying my gluten-free cravings, for your wonderful service and staff, and for your commitment to your community. Wenter and Sam rock!“

“Fresh, delicious and great folks“

“We had a delicious lunch! The vegetable and potato momos were amazing so light and fresh that you don't leave feeling weighed down. We also loved the hand-pulled noodles; you can really taste how fresh they are. For the appetizer, we tried the stuffed eggplant wrapped in a garbanzo bean flour crust. It was really interesting because you couldn't even taste the eggplant! Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for fresh, healthy food that nourishes you. Plus, the owners are extremely friendly!“

“I’ve recently cut out all dairy and pretty much all meat, although I will make an exception for special occasions and eat meat seldomly. anyway the options here are delicious if you’re a vegan! Their menu is full of tasty choices. U couldn’t be happier with my recent door dash orders“

“Situated on Ark Row, Servino Trattoria is run by Natale Servino, who I would venture to call a proper, old-school restaurateur. He clearly runs a tight ship, but the restaurant still has plenty of soul and personality, which I think is a difficult balance to get right. There’s structure, but it doesn’t feel sterile. The care is there.

Servino gives you a few different ways to experience the place. You can sit outside and keep things casual, grab a seat in the Enoteca bar, or eat in the main dining room, which is very nice and gives you a view into a seriously impressive kitchen.

The quality of the ingredients is obvious. They source local California and San Francisco-caught fish, high-quality meats and produce, and some of the best olive oil I’ve ever had. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what olive oil they use because I genuinely cannot seem to find anything quite like it.

Jennifer was our waitress and an absolute sweetheart. A Bay Area local who gave us great recommendations for both food and drinks and made the whole evening better. The service had that perfect blend of professionalism and freedom that, in my opinion, gives a restaurant soul. You’re taken care of, but nobody is hovering over you.

It’s been a little while since this particular dinner, but I still remember most of it. We started with the Santa Cruz-caught bluefin tuna carpaccio 🫰🏼 and the Crostini con Cucuzza with stracciatella and summer squash, which was absolutely delicious. The crostini in particular was out of this world for being relatively simple.

I had a vermouth cocktail that was excellent as well. When I go back, I’ll try something else.

The standout for me was the house-made squid-ink pasta with uni. They absolutely loaded it with uni, which Natale graciously explained how they’re able to do. There’s a running joke among my friends about being a “uni pasta hog” because most uni pasta gives you like four beautiful pieces of uni and suddenly sharing becomes a moral dilemma.

Not here.

Natale explained that they’re able to source some of the less visually perfect pieces rather than paying a premium exclusively for pristine whole uni tongues. Same ingredient, same flavor, much better economics, and they can actually load the pasta with it. I loved that. It made it possible to share without feeling like you’re either skimping or hogging all the best bites.

We finished with a seasonal fruit crostata, which was also delicious.

Servino felt like a restaurant run by people who genuinely care about the ingredients, the kitchen and the experience. It’s polished without losing its personality. Natale runs a tight ship, Jennifer made us feel at home, the kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing, and the ingredients speak for themselves.

There’s soul in the place. That’s what I appreciate most. I attached the few photos I took. The food was too good to spend my time taking photos.“

“This place is the best! All of their pretzels are delicious and inventive (Meyer lemon filling? Lox dill & capers so good you'll laugh at Boichik? Check!). They also have Obatzda, which few people here know. Uli and Sabine are super nice, as is all the staff there. They do a monthly pretzel class that is a lot of fun and will fill send you home with plenty of baked goodies.

Highly recommended -- 🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨“

“One of the best places to eat, have eaten here at least 100 times and had just about everything on the menu. Everything is fantastic, but do yourself a favor and come here for brunch sometime and get the huevos (egg) taco (or 2 or 3). It's one of the most delicious things you'll ever taste.“

“chocolate croissants!!💖.“

“Millennium is my favorite vegan res! Excellent customer service, people, and atmosphere! The food is more than something to eat; it is something to experience!“

“Deliciously wonderful unique food.“

“I’ve only had their smoothies and tasted the ice cream . It’s pretty good haven’t been disappointed . Thai tea ice cream is fire 🔥 . They do close early , earlier than their posted hours though sometimes a half hour early so best to arrive over an hour before they close . I haven’t tried their banh mi but they do seem pricey at nearly 18 dollars each!“

“Very good..................“

“The carrot and red velvet cupcakes were my delicacies of choice. The taste of both were exquisite. They were moist, fresh, and distinct in flavor; not just sweet cake with coloring like store bought cupcakes can be. I will be back for more of these gourmet delights. I also enjoyed the quaint, buzzing cafe setting inside the Swan's Market where the Oakland location is located.“

“This place is truly a little hidden gem, it is such a nice environment to get a drink or a snack. The plants are everywhere and make the place feel so whimsy and cozy.
We got the churro mochi muffin which was unexpectedly amazing. I loved the texture and it’s truly the best balance between a muffin and a mochi.“

“We had a wonderful experience! We tried the Argentinian chimichurri wrap with tofu and the protein bowl with tikka masala sauce, beans, and avocado. Everything was flavorful, fresh, healthy, and served in generous portions.The owner was also very welcoming and friendly, and gave us great food recommendations, which made our experience even better. Highly recommend visiting this place!“

“I ordered items to be shipped to our hotel in Napa. They arrived the next day! We had shortbread cookies, croissants, and pan au chocolate. They are all fantastic! The hotel kitchen warmed them up for us which made them even better! Great service. Fantastic pastry! Thank you, Mariposa! (Wife is celiac/no cc/symptomatic and had NO issues)10 out of 10“

“Great selection of sweet and of savory pastries. I love the cheddar scones. And two quiches daily, one vegetarian and one not. The chocolate cream pie is superb. Good coffee. Really nice folks.“

“Great coffee and service!“

“In fond of the lava lemonade. And the bagels are delish.“

“A welcoming staff who are happy to give recommendations based on your needs and amazing pastries and bread! You really can't go wrong with any choice. Savory or sweet? They have you covered and the olive bread is a must for our household!“

“Treated my parents to a lovely dinner from Kiana for their 50 th wedding anniversary!!! Everything was delicious!“

“The food is DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this place.“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“Gluten-free goodies, gluten-free goodies, gluten-free goodies! Call ahead if you want one or couple three GF cupcakes. They don't always have GF cupcakes available.
It was a hearty crumb kind of reminded me of a sweet cornbread. I don't know if there's any corn used in the making of the cake though. delicious! Raspberry buttercream on top or in the center as I like to eat my cupcakes. I wouldn't get the biscotti again but maybe if they dipped them in chocolate :-) I'm so pleased I live close to a gluten-free bakery! They had several GF offerings when I went there“

“My son and I were on vacation in San Francisco and Bob's Donuts got great reviews so we decided to give it a shot. Absolutely the best donuts I've ever had in my life. We ended up coming back once more before leaving San Francisco. Sure wish I had a Bob's Donuts in my neighborhood, although if I did I'm sure I would have a severe weight problem. Highly recommend.“

“This is a wonderful restaurant with a fantastic venue. It’s a very refreshing menu for the area.
I hope they’re open September 5 for dinner service(?). There will be a sold out Cal game and I, among others, want a meatball sandwich pregame.“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“I love this place, I work right around the corner and always look up to getting some lunch there. They recently introduced Indian food bowls to the menu and it was sooo good, I got the butter chicken and it was amazing. Customer service is great they always make me feel welcome and the trust is there, I know I'll never leave disappointed and will enjoy my meals.“
