Everything on their menu aside from the crab cakes has a gluten free alternative! Also I asked the team and they also have a gluten free fryer. I chose the gluten free beer battered fish and chips and tried their kale slaw on the side it was delicious I can’t wait to go back and try their gf churros and other gf options! This is a hidden gem!
With gluten free options thoughtfully integrated into the menu, this spot caters beautifully to those seeking safe and delicious choices. The artisan cheese plate, highly recommended for dinner, offers a flavorful start, while the Rancho Bodega omelet delights at breakfast. All enjoyed in a serene setting with stunning bay and ocean views, complemented by cozy window seating and outdoor fire pits for a relaxing, inclusive dining experience.

This is a wonderful place to go. We chatted with the owner & had a few minutes of local history & shared our history with bodega bay.
The food was wonderful & they were able to provide gluten-free options. Highly recommend the brisket! Portions are a great size & pricing is good.
We really enjoyed eating & looking out to the bay & dock.
Can't wait to go back when we come again. 🤗

This place is something special, so if you're just driving by or planning your rehearsal dinner, The Birds Cafe is one of those rare gems that makes you feel instantly at home — with seriously good eats and gorgeous views to match!
We had our rehearsal dinner here with our wedding party and couldn’t have picked a better place! The setup was perfect — we sat together inside, everyone ordered what they wanted at the outdoor window, and drinks were easy to grab!
The staff was so kind and thoughtful, making sure vegan and gluten-free options were ready for us (which meant a lot to us since the options were amazing and special!) and even delivered our order right to our tables. Our vegetarian friends are still dreaming about the artichoke dishes! And our Vegan friend, said she was over the moon with her Tofu Tacos!
To top it off, we got married at Secret Gardens — and it turns out the owners of The Birds Cafe are the very family who originally created that venue. That little detail made everything feel extra meaningful!
If you plan to do your rehearsal or a larger group meet up here, drop Melissa an email and she can help (just use the email address on their website)🥰

This was my wife's second visit in three days, and my first, and the experience was lovely from start to finish. We came right at opening without a reservation, and they welcomed us into the warm and inviting space. We had two starters and two mains, and all were perfectly prepared and seasoned: octopus, scallops, pork, and wagyu steak. The server was very kind in meeting my dairy and gluten free needs as well. Truly a gem in Bodega Bay!

Fantastic little grocery store right off Hwy 1 in Bodega Bay.
I helped facilitate a meeting at Bodega Marine Lab and I was responsible for getting lunch for 30 people on a very quick (1 day!) turnaround. Pelican Plaza is close to the lab and has a deli, so I called them up and they were able and willing to put together 30 sandwiches (including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options) for me to pick up the next morning. They were FANTASTIC - super friendly, accommodating and much more calm then me in dealing with such a quick turnaround. The sandwiches were amazing, everyone loved them! Thanks Pelican Plaza!
