Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Not a ton of options but my celiac daughter had a GF crepe at Cruzin Crepes and it was delicious! We double checked and they confirmed they have a separate griddle just for the GF crepes. Highly recommend!

Check out Cruzin’ Crepes! They have gf crepes that are delicious! The Tater Twists are also gf and soooo good! Other than that we had a hard time finding food that was gluten free.

The tater twists are completely gluten free which is super nice! They aren’t always the best but it’s a fun treat. Most of the dippin dots are gf as well, except the obvious ones like cookie dough etc.

Most of the restaurant food isn’t safe as it’s fried in cross contaminated driers or is like burgers and buns and corn dogs. Super risky.

I worked at Cafe espresso and if you have celiac DO NOT order a frappe as the blenders are shared and a chance for cross contamination. The chocolate powder is also not gluten free so do not get hot chocolate or a mocha. The caramel sauce is gf so the caramel macchiato (iced or hot) is safe. Anything that’s not blended, has the chocolate powder or Oreos is fine! The oat milk is safe too.

There is an espresso stand that carries GF chocolate cupcakes with cream filling (similar to a hostess cupcake) and a crumb cake muffin. Both were good but the chocolate was better in my opinion. There is one other food place that has GF options- guest services informed me while I was there.

There is a stand at the boardwalk that sells specialty coffees and they also have gluten-free cupcakes and muffins. I had the cupcake and it was amazing.
