Hot Spots for Gluten Free Goods

This list is a work in progress. Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions!

Raley's
The one in Benicia has a good variety of Gluten-Free foods.  The Fairfield Raley's varies depending on the time of day and day of the week. 

Trader Joe's
Fairfield and Vallejo. Both stores offer GF options. Beware of changed ingredients.

Safeway
They carry Pamela's Pancake Mix and Gluten Free Pantry Brownies. They also carry some Hormel meats and Bob's Red Mill.  I have found this at the Safeway in the Gateway Plaza in Fairfield and the Safeway in Benicia. 

Double Rainbow
The location in Benicia serves some gluten free ice cream. Beware of cross-contamination. 

Outback Steakhouse 
Talk to the manager at the Vacaville location. He will ensure that the food stays cross-contamination free.  Due to high turnover rate it is impossible to guarantee that the server or waiter/waitress will remember or understand what gluten-free is. I have had one incident of being contaminated.. So, be careful and ask a lot of questions.

Brazilian Bread Company
That's right... The girls often show up at the Benicia Farmer's Market every Thursday. The Farmer's Market starts at 4 and lasts till 8.
