Gluten-Free Restaurants in San Jose, CA

“Thanks Charlie for donating your yummy cheesecake bites for St Catherine’s 7th grade class fundraiser towards their Washington DC trip.“

“the lettuce wrap was amazing. super delicious.“

“The food here was absolutely delicious with a great variety. The fried podi idly was too good, and the doffles were a creative twist that stood out. They have a good mix of traditional and innovative options, and everything we tried was excellent. The ambience is casual and welcoming, and the service was friendly. Highly recommended!“

“We were in town to get a present and of course we had to stop and get a box of our goodies we used to get every Friday. Great that you can now order before coming into town. Always really good“

“TBH I was hesitant at first to eat at Acopia. As a vegan, most Mexican restaurants do not usually have options for me. Their menu is somewhat minimal and limited, so entered with few expectations or hopes that I could order anything more than a salad. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The owner came to our table and was most accommodating. I ordered a succulent nopales salad, street corn and some delicious blue corn sopes de calabasita (zucchini and flower). It was all quite tasty and I was even more surprised when she brought out some vegan mayo AND vegan cheese to top off my food with more flavor. The atmosphere is very modern and simply styled, mirroring their “chic” food menu. I found the food delicious though a bit on the bland side, but was grateful that they came through for me and my vegan diet. I left sated and happy that I could fully participate in the meal alongside my meat-eating friends. The owner was very thoughtful and really went out of her way to make sure I had plenty of choices to order. Although it was a bit pricey, I will definitely go back again. The modern ambiance, the attentive service and the fancy yet rustic food combined to make a lovely evening meal.“

“This is a restaurant with a very stylish decoration. The classical decoration makes people feel like they are back in the past era when dining. I think everyone can experience it. At the same time, the food in the restaurant is still very delicious.“

“Ordered a Sunday Special Thali & I absolutely loved it 😍 Right from the packaging everything was meticulously planned & executed. The variety of veggies, Vaangi Baath, mango phirni, butter milk everything was yummy. It was tummy full & some. Highly recommend it!!“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, clean and prompt service.“

“Naltaliya was great in every step of the way. We ordered a cake and a cupcake for the baby shower. Sent her some ideas and she created a masterpiece. When I saw the cake I was speechless. It was beautiful was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. It was also delicious. Not overly sweet, very moist, and made with love. Pretty much all the guests at the party asked me where we ordered the cake. Big big big thanks. I would highly recommend you order your next dessert from Natalia.“

“A very nice place, the people who serve are very friendly, the donuts are fresh and delicious, I recommend them, and the person who prepares them is 10 unique, the owner is very friendly, she is far away from me, but they are worth going to.“

“Loving all the food and clean place“

“Always tasty. We usually get one veggie and one meat special.“

“Mary at the capital location was so helpful and so nice to all her customers. She went out of her way to get us ice next door.
Mary works so efficient Looks like she is doing everything in the restaurant up front.
Keep smiling Mary! Thanks for your help today“

“I have only ordered food online. The food was absolutely delicious!, Their salad bowls are bursting with flavor. They are very healthy and tasty at the same time. I am a vegetarian so I've only tried their veg entrees and they are really really tasty. The staff are very polite and kind - having interacted with them over chat for questions. Highly recommend Moon Bowls.“

“Excellent food! Highly recommend this restaurant. The waiter was friendly as were all the staff. We will definitely be back!❤️“

“I have never eaten Ethiopian food before nor have I ever been interested in eating it. Stumbled upon this restaurant when out looking for food that was not Mexican, (nothing wrong with Mexican food. I love Mexican food but just wanted something else). I had no idea what to expect. So glad we stumbled across it. It was so good. If we were here for more than one night, I would definitely return. The staff were awesome. So friendly and welcoming. The food was so good and opened my eyes, (and stomach), to a new cuisine. The price was very reasonable. Do not let the empty restaurant put you off. Definitely worth a visit.“

“This to-go style Mexican restaurant is a gem in the heart of the office district. Perfect for busy workdays, you can quickly place your order, grab your food, and be on your way in minutes. The menu offers fresh, flavorful Mexican favorites that are satisfying without slowing you down.

If you’re lucky, you might find a parking spot nearby and grab one of the benches outside to enjoy your meal in the open air. It’s a simple setup but great for a quick lunch break. Whether you’re picking up food between meetings or just craving something fast and tasty, this spot delivers exactly what you need.“

“Omg! The Yummiest Empanadas I’ve tasted. It’s a perfectly baked flakey perfect every bite. I can’t wait to go back for more!“

“Very solid mediterranean spot if you’re craving something refreshing and hearty at the same time. This place hits all the notes, every ingredient tasted as fresh as can be, and the great part about Persian mediterranean food is how the meat is prepared. There’s no masking any of the flavors with an abundance of spice, just cooked to perfection, tender, and well worth the wait. Will be returning here.“

“I adore this bakery-it's my favorite bakery in town, and I take great pleasure in supporting small family-run businesses. I visit almost every week, and I always get their almond croissants; they are so flavorful and moist at the center! Their macarons, cheesecakes, and cakes are also exceptional. I loved their macarons so much that I placed a large order for my wedding!

Jonathan consistently greets me with warmth and friendliness and makes each visit a joy.

No week feels complete without indulging in their almond croissants, so I often call ahead and place an order as they tend to sell out quickly!“

“Just love the berry pies. Goes just perfect with my morning coffee and dinner meals. Just love the blueberry pie with the delicious crust. If The Giving Pies keep makin’em I’ll keep eat’em.🥰“

“I got the breakfast burrito I thought it was great it filled me up they also gave my daughter up a humongous cookie for free really appreciate it I recommend this place for a good breakfast burrito“

“If you're from the Western coast of India or love the food of that region (Goa/Karwar/Mangalore etc.) EAT HERE ASAP! The taste and cooking methods are shockingly similar given the trade connections between the African East and Indian West coasts dating back to at least the 7th century.

I'm Mangalorean and this was my second time trying Ethiopian food. I was immediately transported home. The flavors are even better than several local restaurants which claim to be authentically South Indian.“

“The minute we tried Bossman's pizza a few months ago, we were hooked! Got takeout and delivery many times from this place. The pizza is always on point, perfect crust and generous toppings. Have not had a chance to dine in due to COVID-19 but we look forward to visiting in person soon.“

“One of the best places to have a big party. The banquet rooms are spacious; you can seat up to 160 guests. I’ve hosted 2 events here already - my parents’ 50th anniversary in 2014 and my 50th birthday this year. Easy process to reserve the space & select menu. Great customer service from all staff.“

“Good service, good food! Buen servicio y buena comida!“

“I was curious to try this place after driving past it so many times and home eats in Cupertino let me down the last time I ate there. We had the eggplant and combo noodle special and a bowl of rice. The food was pretty tasty and fresh but I felt like it was expensive for Chinese food. 25$ for noodles and about $17 for eggplant, 3$ for rice. Service and ambience was nicer than your typical Chinese restaurant but was it worth another visit? We’ll see“

“The staff at this location are sweet and friendly. Thank goodness they have one gluten free option and it is delicious. Thank you for helping me get my cake fix 💖💖💖💖“

“I love “Tomo Sushi”. Been going there for at least 20 years. Product is always fresh, Anthony, the owner is the chef. The ambiance is superb lots of variety and professionally done. You owe it to yourself and your family yo try Tomo Sudhi. You will be glad you did“

“100% recommend, comfort food and great service. Best cannolo I’ve had in San Jose ! The garlic knots are okay, their dough is really nice though. But the chicken with penne was delicious! My fiancé had the veal and he really liked it!“

“I ordered the pork chop and the spring rolls. Everything else was fresh but the pork chops. Pork chops were dry and tasteless. Other than that, the spring rolls, vegetables, and rice tasted fresh. The side soup was good. Utensils wise, they only have forks and chopsticks, wish they had knives and spoons. The smoothies are really good though.“

“Jessica and her team at Fancy Flavors Bakeshop did it again! This is the second gluten-free cake that I have ordered in less than two months. This was a custom ordered cake for my daughter’s birthday. I communicated with Jessica through email and we were able to come up with the design of what I wanted for my daughter’s cake. The cake came out beautifully! My daughter loved it, and everyone said that it tasted great. They couldn’t believe that it was gluten-free. It is also hard to find bakeries that make gluten-free cakes. That’s why I’m so glad to have found Fancy Flavors. They are now our go to bakery. Thanks again!“

“This Neighborhood Sports Bar with plenty of TVs pours stiff drinks on the cheap and will turn the Juke Box off for football games 😉. They have a huge draw for Karaoke on the weekends, too.
Jake's and Puerto Azul Restaurants share the same building for food or snacks.
This place has the whole package.“

“Fresh Dutch crust bread sometimes I’m vegetarian with fried zucchini coins my favorite. Sweet creole onion chips and ginger ale oh two suckers blueberry gum pop and Carmel apple pop my favorite 😻“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“Stopped by Cocola at Santana Row right at opening on a Saturday. No crowd at all, which made it a relaxing start to the day. I got a hot mocha, the flavor was average, but the portion size was generous and the price surprisingly affordable for Santana Row.

Tried the mushroom croissant and was really pleased. it had a nice savory umami flavor. Also had a pistachio croissant, which was decent but tasted like it wasn’t made fresh that morning. Pastries are on the pricier side and the quality is average.

Service was fast and the baristas were friendly. Outdoor seating was lovely, and there’s plenty of parking, but it’s only free for the first two hours.“

“Food was excellent! Flat iron steak was done med rare as ordered. Chicken with cranberry sauce and brussels sprouts was perfect. The delicious apple/caramel bread pudding definitely enough to share. The atmosphere is an older converted garage but it is well worth going for the food!
Close to TechCU arena, we will be back. Go Barracuda!“

“I ordered a 4 tier cake for my wedding. I asked if they would be able to do the old vintage cake designs. I was told yes. I sent several detailed emails and pictures of what I wanted. The cake was NOTHING close in design, outside of 4 levels, nothing else looked like the pictures. Only one of the colors, only a couple flowers. Then, 1 hour into the reception the cake fell over. I never even got to cut my 4 tiered cake! When I brought it up after, she blamed the heat. There was air conditioning in the venue! She offered to redo it for pictures. I agreed then never heard from her. I contacted her multiple times and I just today get an email from her saying she can't do that after all. I lost money, had a mediocre cake that looked nothing like the inspo picture I sent, and had my cake fall over and barely salvaged enough for the guests. This is a horrible business who doesn't care about making a cake for something as important as a wedding. My dream cake was ruined. I should've gone with someone else. What a horrible bakery. Liars and unprofessional. If you don't know how to do vintage designs don't sat you do! And do not offer a remake if you don't mean it! If you're looking for a multi tiered wedding cake, do not use them!“

“The food and service were amazing!“

“Went to get breakfast here with my boyfriend yesterday morning. We’re both big fans of the bagel sandwiches they sell here, but I was extremely impressed with the two young gentlemen’s services and their polite and kind mannerism. Even though it was a busy Friday, they were both being super friendly to everyone and were working very hard, which I love to see!“

“Today, I had lunch here and it was amazing.I had the fire cracking chicken and the prices are great for the food you get. The service is fast and super attentive. This will be my regular lunch spot. They have so many different classic to infused delicious dishes. You wont be disappointed. Thank Sweet Mango for bringing some work week happiness and flavor.“

“Their Mango Mousse cake is absolutely delicious. I have tried many things at this bakery. All are excellent. Try them out folks. You will enjoy every bite.“

“amazing food, great service“

“Food is so delicious, customer service is more than excellent, time management is perfect. I ordered food for last 2 years ( catering/ pickup) food always has the same quality and taste. More than everything, Soraya joon goes behind and above and she make sure to keep customer happy and provide excellent quality.“

“Totalmente esquisto 🇵🇪🙂🌸 desde que llegue a California es la comuda oriental más rica ,su pato asado ufff“

“Ever go to a place and you ordered a dish that looks/sounds good and you order it and it was so delicious that when you go back again it will be the only thing you order. My wife brought me home Honey Walnut Shrimp. I received it cold but the size of the shrimp made me go wow! It was delicious and I couldn't finish it. The following week I went back and told the counter guy my last week experience, I own a restaurant and I know they love positive feedback. Guess what I did? I ordered it again and ate it in the parking lot in my car. It was very hot and much better than I expected. I'm now afraid to try anything else. I looked for shrimp & lobster sauce but did not have. That WAS my go to dish!“

“Ordered a very specific pizza near closing time, it was ready early I was dumb rushed over and didn't check it upon pickup. Took it back asap when i saw it wasnt mine/to see if they still had my order, and with a smile someone was there to hand my correct pizza over and it was still warm and dam good when I got home with it. They use very fresh vegg and the right amount of everything for a good pizza ratio. Also respect that they refunded my order hours later when I never asked or complaining for that, really a well run honest business. Probably my 7th pizza from them have always been great and never lacking on toppings but after this I'll be a life long supporter“

“Great sweet and sour chicken. The chicken pieces are really big which could be a plus or minus depending on how you like it, but the sauce was great, chicken not overcooked, and good fried rice.

The place is tiny, but compared to other tiny Chinese takeout places, not stuffy and very clean. The hostess was very polite and I noticed that tables were bussed very quickly.

This area of SJ / Santa Clara can be really hard to find good "basic" Chinese takeout, but if you're looking for all sorts of bite-sized pieces of chicken, beef or pork in a familiar variety of sauces, this is the best option I've found within a 10 minute drive of PayPal.

Parking: You'll have to get lucky with curb parking on the Alameda or down one of the residential side-streets. All dedicated lots in the area are "X parking only", and this place has no lot of its own.

Wheelchair accessibility: No weird thresholds or floor warping, standard height tables with movable chairs. Sidewalk in acceptable condition.“

“Great place to grab a drink whether you’re gay straight or bi. The drinks aren’t that pricey as some would have you believe the bar tenders are nice and respectful they are also very welcoming. Overall great experience I go here often when I need a drink and a sense of community.“
