Gluten-Free Restaurants near Kensington, CA

“My daughter and I love the Fried Sage Pizza and the Strozzapreti Bolognese and my twin grandsons love the Pepperoni Piza.“

“Good people, good food, easy going place ... what's not to like about it?“

“Great restaurant and also picturesque“

“Very nice place, amazing attention, I love it.“

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

“My friend recommended this place to me. The place is fairly simple and clean. You order at the counter. There are a few tables for you to dine in, but I find most people order to take out.I like the Simurgh kebab sandwich. The kebabs were delicious but what stood out for me was the Turkish bread. It's not like anything I've had before. It is grilled, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is probably my favorite sandwich bread now. They make them all from scratch.I've only been there twice, but it's a place I would return again.“

“This place is the bomb. They know how to make the desserts and they’re not afraid to showcase that! I’ve tried the pistachio eclair and it was so unbelievably good. I am very happy. I still remember how good that was so if you are in mood of craving desserts or you need to impress your guest this is the place ! The balance on sweetness tartness is just perfect. I loved it. Can’t wait to be back.!“

“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*“

“been wanting to try this place for a while as i was intrigued by the veggie taco options! you order at a stand-like area and find a seat either in the front or back outdoor area. (if going on a colder evening, there are space heaters!) food is brought to you, but water and utensils are self-service, and you're expected to bus after yourself afterwards. i ordered the charred broccoli taco, mushroom mole coloradito taco, and barbacoa taco: charred broccoli taco (9/10): very much enjoyed this one and the flavors brought by the peanut-arbol salsa. i thought it was unique, delicious, and balanced. would've loved if the broccoli was a bit more charred. mushroom mole coloradito taco (2/10): would not order again. i personally didn't enjoy the taste of the sauce, and thought there was too much of it: had to scrape some off--that might be on me though for my lack of familiarity with mole coloradito. and there were barely any mushrooms? i had a few pieces of portobello and crimini mushrooms, and was extremely disappointed there were no oyster mushrooms as that had been the reason i ordered it (oyster should not be listed first in the menu description!) taco de barbacoa (5/10): very very generous with the amount of barbacoa on the taco, which i appreciated, but wish there were more onions and cilantro (maybe something pickled too) to cut the heaviness of it. oh yes..definitely needs something pickled!!! not specific to any one taco, but loved the tortilla! oh, and loved the touch of added purple radish pieces! if i came back, i would only re-order the broccoli taco (multiple of them); i'd also love to try the potato one (taco de papa) as my foodie friend said that was her favorite when she had gone. also, heads up, if you're sitting in front, that there are lime pieces in the back for self-service!“

“Quick meal the day before with little “brioche” stuffed with cheese and ham, experience repeated the next morning for breakfast. Coffees with its top almond milk variant, it's a change from the usual American coffees. Delicious coconut pastry. “Acai” bowl very good but I would have appreciated it being noted that it was a “smoothie sorbet”, not translated into English. Not ideal for the morning. The fruit salads served to the neighbor were tempting.Brazilian cuisine to try. Refined and tastefully decorated.“

“Yes!! Tarocco is the restaurant that we all needed but didn’t know! So fresh and healthy and delicious. Upscale enough for a nice work lunch but you can also show up as you are. Bravo!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free and dairy-free friendly.“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“Quite literally the best Mediterranean food in the Bay Area!! If you're lucky enough to enjoy some Fava, you're quite lucky indeed. The falafel is crispy and all the ingredients are sourced carefully and the resulting quality is phenomenal!Jeremy and his wife are amazing and the kindest business owners I have come across in Berkeley - they really put the love into the food they serve.My go to's are the Falafel Flatbread Sandwich, Escarole Salad With Blood Oranges, and the Mango Lassi to wash it down. The perfect lunch on Saturday 10/10 would recommend to a friend!Thank you FAVA for bringing such an amazing food staple to Berkeley“

“Went here to try the SF restaurant week menu. It has a very nice atmosphere and the food is presented well. I felt that the experience missed the mark a bit though considering the prices. The menu is authentic Mexican but the flavours were lacking. For example, in the hibiscus margarita, the hibiscus was soo diluted compared to one you would get at a nice restaurant in Mexico. And it was similar for the food… the flavours were lacking. The duck on the menu was nice but too salty, while the dessert was too sweet. Our specific server seemed inexperienced but other staff were very attentive. In summary, I was hoping for the flavours to better match what I get in Mexico.“

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Krispy Kreme who? These donuts are beyond words of delicious and delightful. I drive from the East Bay usually late night when my husband and I are craving phenomenal donuts. The donuts are extremely fresh, the times I've been here there has been an older gentleman making them and racks of donuts ready to be bought. Yummmmmmm. Just incredible tasty donuts. You can tell the oil they get made in is also very fresh, no after taste of old oil. Donuts are not super greasy. The service is magnificent! The first time coming here the woman was extremely helpful and kind. The second time a young man helped us and he had a great personality and energy. He was telling us some of the stories of the donut place. Really enjoyed his service! The ambiance is an old school donut shop with closed off seating area but looks very vintage. Grab and go type of donut shop right on Polk St. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 100% :)“

“Great vegetarian food. Fast service, aQuiet, wonderful feel, and great customer service. Food is very tasty. I've gone a total of 5 times within the last 3 months. I do not eat out much. But when I do, I like authentic food that feels like home. Shangri-La Vegan On Linden marks the spot.“

“I absolutely adore Arzimendi! I've been to this location and the Valencia st location in SF and everytime I go, I am reminded of how much I love it. The baked goods are delicious and affordable. The pizza is divine and it's so fun to see what new slice comes out each day. Arizmendi is also a co-op so I'm happy to support them with my service as much as possible!“

“I have lived in SF for 3 years now and just discovered the Dancing Yak. It blew me away with how delicious the food was. From the drinks, to the appetizer, to the main dishes and desserts, everything I had was phenomenal. It also had delicious vegetarian options for my friends - and was a place I would strongly recommend.“

“This is my favorite cafe in SF, and I always make a point to come while I'm there. My fav is the breakfast muffin with all the fixings. The bagels, crostinis and baked goods are great aswell. It's a really small space so try to grab a seat outside or just do take out.“

“Small wine bar in the heart of Russian Hill. Perfect spot for 2-3 people, since most of the seating is bar seating or communal tables. All the servers are knowledgeable about the wine selection and always have great recommendations. I love their orange wines and all the food is amazing. They make beautiful cheese plates and pair the cheeses perfectly with jams and honey. If you can't decide what cheeses to order, tell them what you like/dislike and they will curate the perfect board for you!“

“awesome a must try, this is a hidden gem“

“The polenta and blueberry muffins are out of this world. That being said, one day they made polenta and raspberry muffins. I don't know if it was a fluke or not, but I actually like those better. Either way, you have to try them!! Every Friday my coworkers and I treat ourselves. The best ever!!“

“I still give this place five stars for their gluten free baked goods and take home lasagna but overall four stars because their service still sucks most of the time. I went by here recently on a Sunday morning before a meeting to grab something hot to eat. I love their hot pockets. However, it was 9:30 am. A number of people around me and I started to form a line. Some people asked the staff questions about the pastries and they answered while putting stuff out. None of the staff thought to tell us that they didn't open until 10 am on Sundays. After about 5 minutes of being ignored, I saw the small sign for their hours. I pointed it out to others and we all left. That was a horrible experience as I was hungry and now didn't have time to get something else before my meeting. On Pi Day, I came by and was pleased they had a number of pies available in different sizes. I picked up a small Chocolate Pie that was low in sugar and a small Cherry Pie. They were the perfect size for the three of us though they could have fed more people. We didn't finish the pies ourselves. The Chocolate Pie was yummy and perfect for me but my husband said it wasn't sweet enough for him. We all loved the Cherry Pie! We went back recently and picked up their pizza dough. It came with two rounds. They were awesome!!! We put on our own toppings and popped them into the oven. They came out delicious. I love their food. I just wish the service was better.“

“Came on a Saturday evening, and there was a long line down the block. They only serve 1 type of pizza and 1 type of salad, and you decide how much you want of each. For the pizza, you can order per slice, half pie, or whole pie. You order at the front and then choose a seat if you're dining in. Since there's only one choice for everything, it all comes out right away when you order and pay. If you want anything specialized - gluten-free, vegan, etc then they tell you to go to counter to order first, then get in line to pay. Would recommend getting the green sauce as well for an extra delicious kick. They also have outdoor dog friendly dining. Delicious pizza, highly recommend.“

“We tried the Bahn mi, chicken and Croffle and Lobster Bisque. FANTASTIC!!!! Just check yes to all the above. If you like Iced Tea you will love the Thai Lime Tea. I had two glasses and would have liked to take a gallon back to the hotel with me. I will talk about that tea the rest of my life! Enjoy your meal everyone! We will be back.“

“Upbeat generous dude with tasty wholesome food.“

“Ordered a sheet cake for a book release party. There were two layers of beautiful, delicate vanilla cake with generous custard and delicious raspberry filling. The image of the book cover was sharp and set off with flawless piping. The online order ahead system works well. Such a fabulous cake for a special evening!“

“GC gets docked a star for two reasons: 1) limited access because the line is so long (reservations are only taken for parties of 6+) and 2) the kung pao chicken is disappointing. As an institution, GC has been the best Chinese food in the area for decades. It was once so small you could shoot an arrow from the front door to the back wall. Its corner spot now on Oxford & Bancroft is massive in comparison, so now more people can wait to get in. The space is modern and bright, but the food is thankfully not fusion or fanciful. The food is exactly what it says on the door: Great China. From the plump (but crisped-skin) potstickers to the mu shu pork to the spicy green beans to the Peking duck, it is deliciously predictable. When I order ma po tofu, I know I'm going to get silken cubes of tofu in a thickened shiny spicy red sauce with ground pork in perfect proportion. Service is as friendly as Chinese gets and effortlessly efficient and fast. Parking sucks; it's downtown Berkeley, people. But if my San Fran friends long to come here, you know it's worth the hassle.“

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

“Deliciously wonderful unique food.“

“Great gluten free products! Everything tastes great and gets delivered quickly!“

“Hidden Cafe can try to hide, but I find it every time. I'm glad their employees don't hide, even though I do love playing hide & seek. I don't think I would enjoy it as much if the only way I could get my coffee from here is by finding the hidden employees at hidden cafe. Trying to find a barista to order coffee, before I've had coffee, sounds daunting. Although, it would make that cup of joe so much more rewarding. Honestly, if the employees did start hiding, I'd still go here. That's how good their coffee and carrot cake is and how confident I am in my seeking abilities. Luckily, this is something I haven't had to face. All the employees here are extremely friendly and very easy to find. I'm happy that Hidden Cafe is not good enough at hiding to the point where it would run itself out of business. I love going here!“

“Incredible and thoughtful dishes. Changes by the season, always something new and very tasty. Great for vegans and omnivores alike. I took my dad here while visiting and he said it was one of the best "pork" he'd ever had. Worker-owned. Love it here.“

“Great service and wonderful servers with great attitude. I had the grilled flat iron steak with mushrooms, greens, and potato gratin cooked medium and I highly recommend it! The steak was real tender and goes well with the potatoes and vegetables.Parking: Street parking is on meter and free after 6pm“

“Mannnnnnnn these damn cupcakes. Not gonna lie, hands down best cupcakes I've had of anywhere and I've done them all. Magnolia in NY. Georgetown Cupcakes in DC. Sprinkles in NY. There's another famous one in Nashville. Done them all and this place is fire.The creativity of the combinations, paired with a moist cake and just sweet-enough, whipped to perfection icing, makes this a must stop. Thankful I don't live in Cali or I'd be in trouble!!!“

“Ordered from this wonderful place several times on our recent visit. The food is always delicious. The best paleo and AIP compliant fried chicken I've ever had! And for those that have dietary needs or preferences, they also have complete information for you!“

“Loved every bite of the food and appreciated all that Injera.“

“This mac and cheese is perfect- PERFECT. When I'm not in the area, I cry. I got the cookbook for Christmas a couple of years ago and that can tide me over but of course, I'd rather it come from the OG. My absolute favorites are the pesto mac or pizza mac - both of which will rotate on and off the menu. A crunchy top is a necessity. I prefer the breadcrumbs but they have other options like hot Cheetos or chips too. Thank you for existing, Homeroom. ILY.“

“Delicious baked goods. Awesome staff!“

“Best pizza in SF! It’s to die for. Thanks Andy and Molly!“

“Great place & cakes!“

“Was looking for a birthday cake that wasn't too sweet and was recommended the chocolate raspberry cake. We let it come to room temperature before serving and it was absolutely delicious! Moist cake (very similar to a moist cupcake consistency), chocolatey and not too sweet (they use Swiss chocolate) coupled with bites of fresh raspberry buttercream-- Very happy we came upon this bakery and looking forward to visiting more often!“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“Best bakery in Berkeley. They are so underrated and I wish more people know about their great food. I’m obsessed with their focaccia breads (marinara is out of the world), their pizzas are personally my favourite in berkeley and the chocolate croissant is to die for. I visit them atleast thrice a week. Encourage everyone to try this small business.“

“Love this place so much. My favorite cafe. They have so many yummy options so they're great for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Every drink I've tried has been delicious. And the employees are so nice, they usually remember my favorite orders and are always upbeat.Plus, if I don't hear them call my drink, or they can tell I'm working, they'll bring it to my table. Usually you have to go get the drink from the counter so I appreciate them taking the extra time when I'm distracted.Lots of outlets and different seating. Great for working or bringing friends. Just all around great!“

“Ordered on Doordash. The price and quality are probably the best I've ever had from the site in years of ordering. I'll be ordering from here in the future without a doubt.I got the chicken bowl with lemon thyme dressing and there's a reason it's their number 1 seller.The cashew chocolate comes in dressing containers but they're also reasonably priced.“

“The iced mocha here is sorcery. Tastes like straight smooth and rich chocolate milk, but it kept me wired for several hours lol. Respectably really strong. Overall wished that there was a distinct coffee to the mocha but I'm still a fan. Don't underestimate this coffee shop trailer! Chill and friendly staff. A few small tables right in front of the trailer but can enjoy your drink while perusing Flowerland Nursery here.“

“I've had the good fortune of bringing Acme treats to a few social gatherings this past week. Top notch service & baked goods each & every time. The two fellas at the front counter really hustle to keep that ever-present line moving briskly. But where is the tip jar for these magicians?!! Surely Acme could do this for their dedicated pros, and we customers are so accustomed to seeing one, it feels awkward to note its absence. [btw- the Acme pizza slab cut into bite sized pieces is a real crowd pleaser for happy hour occassions ] Word to the wise: everything available and barely a line between 8-830am. Now about that tip jar: hope to see it on my next visit!“

“Literally my FAVORITE place in the world! I have been dining here for over a decade and today was the first time I ever experienced brunch! It. was. DELICIOUS. Everyone is so friendly, there was even live music. Such a special place with so much intention in everything.“

“Delicious food. Highly recommend.“
