Gluten-Free Restaurants in San Mateo, CA

“I found this bakery when I was looking for a place to purchase alfajores and I was so happy to have found it! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and my first visit was nothing but a very nice experience. Two young men behind the counter seemed really friendly and helpful. The other customers in the store at the time seemed very happy. I came for alfajores today, but I will definitely go back for more alfajores and other goodies!“

“Food was standard American Thai fare. The pad thai was average, although my party enjoyed the spicy eggplant stir fry dish. Everything is pretty okay, and decent enough if you're in the mood for Thai food. I will say it was nice that entrees were $14-15. Pretty affordable meal.

We came on a Sunday afternoon (2pm) on a holiday weekend. We had to sign up on the waitlist, and it was about a 20minute wait until we got a text saying our table was ready. Staff was nice, although never refilled our waters.

The interior gives a casual vibe. The space isn't very big, and all tables were completely filled at all times. Noise volume inside was moderate. Can still hear your tablemates without raising your voice too much, but it wasn't quiet in there by any mean.s There's tv screens, one of which was broadcasting the news channel.“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“Love the pizza! We live in the East Bay but we stop by whenever we pass by San Mateo. We always get a Meat Lovers & the Chicken Pesto!“

“was an amazing vibes lovely crew coffee was so good!“

“This is one of my favorite spots for a quick bite. The onigiri are always perfectly seasoned, fresh, and filling. The staff is incredibly friendly, and Erick was especially kind and welcoming. Everything tasted authentic and comforting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“So good!!! Best sandwich I ever had!“

“These are the best tasting cupcakes I have ever had! So delicious seriously! Other “fancy” cupcake shops do not come close. I would break my keto diet to have one of these. I no longer live in their area but they are so good!“

“Was greeted & seated promptly. Welcomed by Manager Hung. Brittany was our waitress & we received the 20th Anniversary Sacks. Happy Anniversary.“

“Your cookies are extraordinary delicious! excellent! Love all your cookies!!!!“

“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!!“

“The portions are generous, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. However, the cuisine is not really my personal favorite, so the food didn't quite suit my taste.

Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for generous portions and good service.“

“Many different flavors for yogurt. Try them they're delicious.“

“We got the classic AYCE and went two rounds. Technically three, but we only ordered dessert on the third round. Our server, Stanley, patiently explained the ordering process as it was our first time there. Another server, Fish, checked in on us multiple times. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I saw employees talking to several customers as if they were regulars. We will definitely be back.“

“I ordered the chicken bowl takeout and it was very good. Since I can’t have gluten I’m always nervous eating out, but this place was clearly labeled for dietary restrictions and still tasted great. 10/10 recommend for a chill takeout meal.“

“We went out for lunch after proctoring exams all morning. We wanted to go to a place that served typical Honduran food. We went to this restaurant that was close to our work place. It is still nice after many years of service. The pupusas and the carne asada were delicious.“

“I love the love sign in the Golden latte! #Nice!“

“Wandering in because I saw fresh things being cooked on grill late at night. Amusing chatter from the get go. Everyone smiling.
I probably ordered wrong because this is El Salvadoran style and I ordered burrito and quesadilla; then I was told to get a papusa, which I did.
Dios mio! The best decision of my life!
Such a great blend of salty savory cheese and meat with a subtle sweetness from the cover which I assume is corn.
Amazing people. One lady asked if I was married; if she was the one making this food, I might go back for her!
Thank you
Fantastic“

“I like this location. It's designed well to handle flow of people from doors at both ends of the store and not feel crowded.
It being my first time in a long long time, the barista was really patient and helpful in taking my order.
With her suggestions I got a drink that was pretty good. Definitely will come back.“

“Great food⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent“

“They use an AI call taker and there is no one at the store who can take a call. I left my glasses there and I called 5 times , each time I was forwarded to the store and then the call just dropped while I was waiting.
