Gluten-Free in Redondo Beach

Rice-flour pastries and cakes with a Japanese accent, light in a way wheat-flour baking never is. The sister shop a block away, Confections by Kirari West, is worth the extra stop.

The whole bakery and kitchen are dedicated gluten-free, built around rice flour instead of wheat, so the entire case is safe. It anchors the South Bay, where dedicated gluten-free spots are rare, so it earns the drive to Redondo Beach.
