The menu has a lot of things labeled as gluten free or gluten free optional but almost everything is cross-contaminated. The waiter at least warned me but my options were pretty much limited to pizza, pasta, or salad. Only one of the appetizers (of the 5 or 6 labeled) was actually able to be GF. Couldn’t even have the BLT on GF bread since they apparently deep fry the bacon (???). Ended up getting a burger that was probably the most basic burger I’ve ever seen in LA. Overall just a very misleading experience given that we chose this place because of all of the supposed GF options.
Ate here for dinner - got the brussel sprouts appetizer (delicious, portion large enough to share) and the butter beans for dinner, with the sorbet for dessert. All delicious and also dairy free
They are very knowledgeable about gluten and the waiter also immediately told me what gf dishes (marked on the menu) I cannot have because they have no dedicated fryer for gf food. There was still plenty of choice though.

Amazing food!! 100% plant-based so no dairy or eggs. Even the bartender was knowledgeable about gluten and it seems like they take it seriously. Shared fryer unfortunately. We had the watermelon salad, truffle fettucine, and truffle potatoes, all delicious! I recommend making a reservation.
Celiac approved. Server was knowledgeable about what was GF & ensured about cc in kitchen with other items. Enjoyed the GF pizza, pasta, eggplant & okra.
Loved the food, very pricey. Got the pasta and it was quite tasty! Small small portions though.
Tasty vegetarian gf sandwich and salad. Lots on the menu has gf option. The waiter asked if I had allergies and let me know the fryers were not dedicated gf.
Told the waitress I was celiacs, half the "gf" items on the menu are unsafe due to cross contamination in the fryer. I stayed away from those items....still ended up sick. Ugh.
Exceptionally delicious spaghetti bolognese and Caesar salad. Couldn’t believe it was vegan! Gluten free and gluten free options (GFO) available on the menu, just be sure to check. 5 stars for service and ambiance too!
I have celiac and had a fantastic time here. The waiter was very confident in being able to deliver gf food with precautions taken. I nearly cried when I saw the Kale salad had gf croutons - which I can never seem to find! I felt very taken care of and the food was lovely. Got the kale salad, truffle potatoes, and a gf spicy rigatoni (which the chef made specially gf for me!). It's def pricey here but will come back for date night / special occasion.
Wonderful food, great date spot and I didn’t feel sick afterwards! They take celiac seriously as a restaurant but our waiter didn’t seem to get how important it was so I’d be really firm with them just in case.
Delicious, delicious, delicious. All Vegan restaurant with many GF options and the servers are very Celiac aware. This is a MUST VISIT when in LA!
safe bet for celiacs. excellent plant based menu. not cheap, but great for special occasion.

"A longtime vegan paradise for those hoping to indulge, chef Tal Ronnen’s Crossroads Kitchen also happens to provide a variety of gluten-free dishes. The dietary sensitivity makes the upscale Melrose restaurant one of the more popular dinner destinations out that way, and Ronnen says 90 percent of the menu can be made gluten-free."
Incredible plant-based menu with most items GF or GF- options available. A special place. Definitely try Crossroads if you are in the area
Absolutely amazing food. They had quite a few great options that were gluten free or could be made gluten free. The staff was knowledgeable.
