Open since 2013, Ring’s baker creates Japanese-style baked tofu donuts with rice flour, non-GMO soy milk, and organic yogurts, milks, butter, and various flavors like matcha, honey, or Earl Grey. Ring’s donuts are easy to freeze and reheat in a microwave.

Husband and wife Celine Ikeler and Aerk Reeder own Karma Baker, where every baked good is vegan and gluten-free. They’ll ship anywhere, or just hop over the Westlake Village to find some stunning baked items, including the fruit tart ring layered with gluten-free cookies, vegan lemon mascarpone, and topped with fresh fruit.

Ordering death by chocolate cake, one with golden vanilla, or carrot cake always sound delicious, unless the requirement is plant-based or gluten-free. At Half Baked in Burbank, they can customize any cake to eliminate gluten or eggs and milk.

Baking since 1990, the family-owned Delicias Bakery is one of the first panaderías in LA to add vegan flan and queso fresco to their traditional Mexican menu. And while everything doesn’t entirely ascribe to the plant-based variety, Delicia’s does it well with the vegan bolillo filled with smoky jackfruit, garlic, citrus, and onion.

The Charlier family hails from France, but left the gluten behind along with stabilizers/gums, soy, or any refined sugar. Naturally, baguettes and scones are on the menu, as are some very pillowy brioche. The Silver Lake bakery and cafe opened in November, but Westsiders can also find these goods in Santa Monica.

Open in early 2021 next door to full traditional flour sister bakery Chaumont, Chaumont Vegan offers the same French-inspired baked goods, but minus eggs, butter, and milk. Find vegan granola, French toast, croissants, and a no-milk custard pain Suisse.

Coco Kislinger went to Le Cordon Bleu in Paris where she figured out how to make delicious desserts while battling Crohn’s Disease. That diagnosis meant Kislinger had to navigate her way around gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. And while there are organic cakes, cookies, and granola, customers are quick to order bread that regularly sells out.

Maison Macha’s macaron boxes typically sell out, but there’s an entire gluten-free menu that’s impressive. Try the praline chocolate tart, lemon meringue tart, or the strawberry shortcake.

With split personalities, Sinners & Saints Desserts appeals to everyone. The bakery’s “sinner” section is filled with traditional flour-based desserts, but the “saint” side experiments with a gluten-free marzipan cake topped with a hazelnut praline buttercream, tres leches, mini and standard sized cupcakes, and cheesecake.

This family-owned bakery first opened in Japan in 2011, and Kirari West launched in 2014 when Hiroyasu Saito opened the second location in Redondo Beach. The family uses rice flour as a substitute for traditional flour for this Redondo bakery with desserts, loaves of bread, breakfast sandwiches, and paninis.

Long Beach’s Twice Baked goes slightly beyond the expected, even for an entirely traditional bakery. It’s entirely gluten-free with brioche, apple turnovers, or a vegan citrus lavender cupcake. If feeling nostalgic, opt for Twice Baked’s gluten-free spin on an old-school classic: a frosted animal cookie.
