Check For Gluten Free Cafe In A Smartphone App
Have a smartphone? Try the Find Me Gluten Free app. The app is useful for locating user-contributed GF ideas! Check for it in the app store.
What I don’t like about this app is that some reviewers leave bad reviews for restaurants for reasons like they didn’t like the meal or long wait time when it is seemingly not relevant to the the gluten free questions…so know that before you use the app.

Have A Plan
It’s hard sometimes to be GF and spontaneous about dining out.
Avoid getting in situations where you are starved but are not sure where to go for food!
That almost always leads to bad decisions!
These are a couple of recommendations:
- Keep a couple GF protein bars in your car in case.
- Spend time to research the area. Come up with a few Gluten Free Cafe options.
- If you’re new to a Gluten Free Cafe in Santa Maria , then stick to foods that are most likely gluten-free – meats, salads, fruits and that kind of thing. Now is probably not a good time to test gluten-free pasta or cake – if you’ve not been there !
- Lastly, visit at off-peak times. Plan dinner early or try for a late lunch. Arrive at a time you can easily have the complete attention of the wait person and the cooks aren’t overwhelmed.
