100% Gluten Free Restaurants In California

a list of dedicated gluten free restaurants in california

 

Looking for gluten free restaurants in California? Tired of unreliable lists that include a bunch of places with one or two GF dishes. This is a list of 100% gluten free restaurants in California.

This list is alphabetical with separate sections for San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles.

As a celiac myself, I know the best way to avoid being glutened when eating out is to dine at dedicated GF facilities. When you have celiac disease there is nothing casual or relaxing about stopping for a bite to eat with friends.

A sudden stop for food can trigger stress and anxiety when you haven’t had time to call ahead, read reviews and check the menu for cross contact risks. This is why I’ve put together an extensive list of entirely gluten free restaurants, cafes and dedicated gluten free bakeries in California. 

Be sure to check out the Gluten Free Restaurants page to see the other completed State lists and share them with your gluten free friends and family!

Gluten Free Restaurants Sacramento

 

Cider House

Website: Cider House

Cider House does have a completely gluten free kitchen, but I recommend asking questions before drinking any beers. The ciders should be safe to drink, but even in the celiac community there is disagreement over what beers are safe to drink.

In the past, I have seen gluten “reduced” beers like Berryessa Pale Ale served at the Cider House, and research is showing these are not safe for celiacs

 

Cider House

Sacramento, CA 95816

Pushkin’s Bakery

Website: Pushkin’s

Pushkin’s Bakery is a dedicated gluten free facility making every thing safe for us celiacs. Pushkin’s understands the importance of avoiding gluten cross contact.

They even state “When dealing with parts-per-million (PPM) increments of gluten (which is undetectable to the human eye), it is impossible to guarantee cross contamination prevention when baking in a facility that uses wheat ingredients alongside wheat/gluten-free ingredients.” on their website. 

Pushkin’s is also dairy free but they pride themselves on tasting delicious. So don’t expect the usual “it’s good, for being gluten free” here.

    We appreciate the Pushkin’s restaurants in Sacramento but wish we had other dedicated gluten-free facilities close by. Thank you so much for such a comprehensive list!!

  2. Celiac

    Your welcome! I was very surprised there are so few options in Sacramento. I’m optimistic and hopeful that Sacramento will open more dedicated GF businesses in the future.
