Erewhon is an absolute dream for anyone eating gluten-free — especially if you have celiac disease, like I do. I had no symptoms at all after eating here, and I felt completely safe with the food choices.
We visited the Erewhon location near the shopping district in Los Angeles Beverly Hills, but there are several other stores across the city, including popular ones in Venice, Silver Lake, and Santa Monica.
Erewhon is more than just a supermarket — it’s a high-end organic grocery store with a fantastic hot food bar, smoothie & tonic bar, and a wide variety of pre-packaged meals, many of which are clearly labeled gluten-free.
I picked up a Sushi ORG Spicy Sandwich (GF) from the refrigerated section. It was a standout!
Ingredients included:
Organic cucumber, avocado, wild tuna, real crab, wild salmon, ginger, wasabi, organic nori, and organic white/brown rice (fried in non-GMO avocado oil).
The sauce was a mix of organic sriracha, chili oil, sesame oil, sea salt, black pepper, vegenaise, allulose, and teriyaki — and it was delicious.
Even the soy sauce provided was gluten-free, which is rare and much appreciated!
It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the quality is outstanding and the range of healthy, GF, and organic options is impressive.
There are some outdoor seats available, but they’re limited and people usually don’t linger — it’s more of a “grab-and-go” lunch spot, and it can get quite busy around midday.
If you’re gluten-free in LA, Erewhon is absolutely worth a visit — safe, high-quality food, and a great selection for people with dietary needs.
