Gluten-Free Restaurants near San Clemente, CA

“Came for lunch with my gran about a month after my grandfather passed. It was my gran's first outing since the funeral and i was worried but our server was this adorable silver haired woman named Rebecca. She had my Gran laughing the whole time. We ordered combos and the suggested jalapeño watermelon margaritas, which were spicy and refreshing. We needed a nap afterwards because we were too stuffed! My gran won't stop asking when we can go back. Thank you South of Nicks for lovely meal, and Thank you Rebecca, for helping a family member feel normal after tragedy. You are in our prayers“

“Moulin in San Clemente is this adorable French bistro that's totally transporting. The vibe's cozy and it feels like a mini getaway. We sat outside and it was perfect, beautiful sunny day and the outdoor seating is gorgeous. I went for the omelette special with mushrooms and French ham and it hit the spot, eggs were perfect and the flavors were great. My wife loved the Croque Monsieur sandwich. Customer service was outstanding, the staff were super friendly and on point. Oh, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing! They've also got this cute little market thing going on which was a nice touch. If you're in San Clemente, Moulin is a solid pick for a chill French meal. We'll be back.“

“Finally got to try one of their famous cakes. Delicious!!!! Had an online order and we were instantly greeted by a very nice young man working there, our cake was ready and we were good to go within a minute. I love the small business vibe they have and the enthusiasm from the employees. Will be back!“

“I just picked up my curbside groceries. The lettuce and spinach was fresh and beautiful. My peppers, tomatoes etc looked fresher than the market. I bought flour and yeast which is so difficult to find and eggs and milk. I will definitely order again. I would very highly recommend them. Thank you for providing this service!“

“Wanted to give a shout out to Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt in San Clemente by Walmart. I went in to grab gift cards. I needed 5 $5 cards for party favors for my daughter's birthday. They were out of gift cards. The gentleman working there must have been the owner. He asked how many I needed. I said 5. He said today is your lucky day, opened his wallet and GAVE ME 5 gift cards for $5 each FOR FREE! Seriously, who does that?! I wish I had gotten his name. Wow Wow Wow. I will forever be grateful and def make sure we go there for yogurt. Thank you Menchie's!“

“Always a great experience here. Staff is so polite and friendly. Food is amazing and portions always require a to go bag. Highly recommend“

“I rarely write reviews unless a place truly deserves it, and this Moulin Café location at the Ritz-Carlton in Dana Point absolutely does. We visit weekly and even go out of our way just to come here.
The coffee is consistently hot, fresh, and delicious—and they’re one of the few places that still serves great old-fashioned brewed decaf. We usually order it half decaf and half regular, and it’s always perfect.
The pastries are excellent, and the customer service is outstanding. Antoine, the manager, is always friendly, respectful, and welcoming, and the rest of the staff is just as wonderful.
Highly recommend!“

“My wife told me she wanted a chocolate raspberry cake for her birthday, I looked around for inspiration and a bakery that could deliver.

And I came across this place! Butter+Cream bakery was very helpful in making my wife's cake dream come true! I also spoke with the owner and they were kind enough to create a 'special request' that I made. I'm definitely coming back here for her birthday, our anniversary, and whatever other occasion that gives you an excuse to eat cake!“

“Went in with 12 kiddos from the nearby elementary school. I was greeted and helped by Dennis initially and could not have been treated any better. He was very accommodating and helpful with ordering. K assisted next and got all the food ready in great time. Highly recommend! This team made the party happen! Very thankful for their help.“

“I had a wonderful experience dining here on Saturday 4/11 and wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding customer service From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of.

Thank you to our server, Gabby, who was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect, she had a positive attitude and attention to detail truly stood out.

I’d also like to acknowledge the manager James, who took the time to ensure everything was going smoothly. That extra level of care and professionalism does not go unnoticed.

Overall, the service was great, the food was amazing, the restaurant was clean, and we will be coming back!“

“I was originally planning to leave a 3.5 or 4-star review for Blaze Pizza, but something happened that encouraged me to change it to 5 stars. The quality of the pizzas was good for the price, although a part of the crust was slightly overcooked, and a bit more attention during baking would have helped. Still, overall, I’d say the quality was solid considering the price point.

In my order, I had included a Caesar salad, which I realized was missing when I got home. I called the restaurant to let them know, and after checking my email later, I saw they had refunded part of the cost. This level of customer service truly impressed me and convinced me to add that extra star.“

“Blown away by Susie Cakes! Great people, fabulous selection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies and accessories! Plus they made my poor planning and last minute need their very pleasant priority. Sweet service with a smile!!!“
