Los Angeles offers numerous gluten-free bakeries for those with celiac disease, sensitivities, or dietary preferences. Here are five must-visit gluten-free bakeries in Los Angeles showcasing delicious desserts without gluten.
1. fōnuts – Best Gluten-Free Donuts in LA
📍 Beverly Grove

fōnuts is my go-to donut spot whenever I’m craving something sweet. They’re a little different from your typical donuts—they’re oven-baked instead of fried—but that’s part of what makes them special. Made mostly with almond flour, they turn out super moist, and full of flavor.
❤ My favorite flavors? Blueberry, strawberry, and double chocolate—so good every time.
🌱 Vegan options available
💡 Pick up one of their gluten-free baking mixes to recreate them at home!
2. Levant Bistro + Bakery – Gluten-Free Mediterranean Essentials
📍 Echo Park

Falafel Sandwich
This dedicated gluten-free bakery and bistro brings Mediterranean flair to LA’s GF scene. Think pistachio rosewater muffin, baklava tart, and freshly made gluten-free pitas. The flavors are bold, the ingredients are wholesome, and everything is beautifully presented.
❤ My go-to items are the pistachio rosewater muffin, the cheese Sambousek, and the falafel sandwich!
💡 Ideal for brunch or lunch when you’re craving some classic mediterranean dishes!
