Gluten-free San Francisco

Eating gluten free here: Easy

San Francisco has a fully gluten-free Italian, Mexican, Hawaiian, a cocktail bar, a brewery and even a stand at the Giants' ballpark. The one thing it's short on is gluten-free bakeries.

What to ask
I have celiac disease, so it has to be gluten free with no cross-contact. Is this made away from flour, and does it go in a separate fryer?

Where to eat

100% gluten free

The whole kitchen is gluten free. Order anything.

Coeliac-careful kitchen

Not a gluten-free kitchen, but trained for coeliacs: accredited, a separate fryer or a separate menu with real protocols.

Fisherman's Wharf · 333 Jefferson St

Fries and shakes are gluten free (dedicated fryer). Saying gluten allergy starts their allergy protocol: new gloves, a separate tray. Skip grilled onions and avoid peak hours. Source: Wheatless Wanderlust (coeliac writer, ate there, Oct 2026), checked October 29, 2026

Get: Ask: "protein style, no special sauce (a packet on the side), with a gluten allergy"

The California burger rite of passage, and the only one in the city.

Good gluten-free options

Plenty you can eat and staff who get it, in a kitchen that also uses flour. Say it's coeliac, not a preference.

Before you go

One bakery in the city.

Mariposa in the Ferry Building is the only fully gluten-free bakery in San Francisco itself. For more, go to Marin: Flour Craft in Mill Valley and San Anselmo is one of the best in the country.

Skip mixed pizzerias and bakeries.

Flour gets everywhere. Unless a place has a separate prep area and oven, a gluten-free pizza or pastry there is a gamble.

At In-N-Out, say gluten allergy.

It's the phrase that starts their allergy protocol. Ask for protein style with sauce on the side, and skip the grilled onions.

Going to a Giants game?

Hearth Table in Section 145 at Oracle Park is a dedicated gluten-free kitchen.

How Chef checks: every place here says it on its own site, or a coeliac writer who ate there does, and we link which. We checked on October 29, 2026. Kitchens change, staff change: if it's coeliac disease, say so every time. Photos marked "a photo like it" aren't of that place. No place paid to be here.

Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
