"This all-gluten-free bakery and deli has brought back sweet and savory Hanukkah specials, with a delightful and hard-to-find selection of sans-gluten sufganiyot (including jelly-filled, chocolate-filled, mini, and cream varieties) and an array of latkes that includes crisp regular potato, sweet potato, and zucchini, plus eggplant Parmesan and fried macaroni. Homemade apple-butter compote can be added to any latke order by the half-pound for an additional $8, and online pre-orders can be made through December 11 for pick-ups during the holiday week." - Eater Staff
"This mercifully gluten-free kosher deli, with locations at Topanga Village in Woodland Hills and on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, has gluten-free, vegan, and kosher options for the holiday. From the bakery, grab a gluten-free, vegan honey cake ($29, available to pre-order on its website) and gluten-free rounds of challah ($11.95 for a whole challah or $12 for four individual rolls) daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or until sold out." - Eater Staff
"For the bagel snob, a gluten-free option might evoke the same feelings as putting ketchup on a hot dog: it just ain’t right. But Modern Bread & Bagel, a gluten-free NYC bakery with a location in Woodland Hills, proves that gluten-free bagels can not only be acceptable but excellent. The ones here have a subtle yeasty tang, a satisfyingly dense bite, and toast beautifully without tasting like a charred sponge. The go-to here is Modern’s pastrami-cured lox sandwich on their onion-heavy everything bagel, plus a slice of their cinnamon roll loaf that we won’t leave without." - sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder, cathy park
"Modern Bread and Bagel, a New York transplant that landed in Los Angeles in 2022, is quietly filling the void that Breadblok’s closure left for many in Los Angeles’s gluten-free community. Its breads robustly cover the bases — from gleaming gluten-free bagels covered in a nutty “superseed” mix to challahs, rosemary focaccias, and Parmesan buns — but the bakery and cafe menu truly set it apart for its size and variety. Doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, and even chocolatey Hostess-inspired cupcakes make an appearance in the display case; the kitchen slings loaded salmon bagels as well as breakfast sandwiches that can be made vegetarian and vegan as needed." - Nicole Adlman
"It’s basically a gluten-free bread factory over at Modern Bread and Bagel, where its team slings freshly baked brioche, focaccia, challah, and hand-rolled bagels. Build a bagel with pastrami-crusted salmon, cream cheese, or homemade vegan carrot lox, or opt for a breakfast sandwich; a bowl with buckwheat granola, yogurt, banana, and berries; and lemon-ricotta pancakes. Salads and sandwiches for lunch, plus the hard-to-put-down latke tots, round the menu. The New York transplant, which originally opened in the Valley, now has a Santa Monica location on Montana Avenue and an outpost in Beverly Hills." - Nicole Adlman
