10Best Says

If you're not grateful to be gluten free, one visit to Café Gratitude and you'll have an unexpected attitude adjustment. This vegan restaurant, with locations in Venice and on Larchmont (and one soon to open downtown), bakes a massive amount of goodies fresh daily, all gluten free and all vegan. And amazingly delicious. But this café and bakery is not just about filling up your belly. They see food as nourishment for the soul, reinforcing the importance of compassion and how food contributes to the greater good. The must-haves: Banana bread, maple bacon donuts and cinnamon rolls. And they also sell pie, muffins, and raw sweets, as well.

Los Angeles Local Expert

Gluten-Free Baked Goods: "The Venice location (with validated parking under the building, enter from side streets) is just a few blocks from the beach. Stop in for lunch if you're out cycling or walking in the area."

Best for Gluten-Free Baked Goods Because: All the rage with hip and hippie crowds alike, Cafe Gratitude offers both meal and dessert options in a space that affirms your inner vegan.
