Top 50 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Explore in Minnesota

Delicious latte and double chocolate donut for under $10. You don't miss the dairy or gluten in any of their products. The donut was soft and moist with decadent chocolate frosting. Haven't tried the breads yet, I'll try to update later, but they definitely pass the squish test, springing right back just like a glutenful item. I also got myself a birthday cupcake :) vegan cream cheese frosting was amazing! You've got a try the savory monkey bread. Highly recommend

What a charming and delicious gluten free bakery. The lattes are two thumbs up as well. Whether it’s sweet or savory, I haven’t found something here I didn’t like or wasn’t so pleasantly surprised out how yummy the gluten free fare is that I selected any given visit. Go here. Order gluten free and give them your money. Such a treat to eat from a gluten free kitchen. The service is terrific as well. Good job Hold the Wheat!

Like several other recent reviewers, I saw mice running through the restaurant/under booths in the middle of the afternoon while I was there. I told the server about the mice and they said they'd tell the manager. Although I had already lost my appetite by then, the entire back of the restaurant was suddenly filled with the smell of an extremely pungent peppermint-scented disinfectant (or at least that's what I guessed?). I was with two other people and all of us felt like it was irritating our noses and throats. It was so strong that it overwhelmed any other scent/taste. I asked the server if what we were smelling was disinfectant (they said yes) and if we could move to the front of the restaurant to get away from the strong smell. Later I emailed the manager about the incident and he claimed he didn't have any idea what I could be referring to. There's clearly an ongoing mouse problem (just look at other reviews from the past few months) and I learned that strong peppermint oil is used as mice deterrent/repellent. This used to be a go-to place for me, since they have a menu that offers a lot of options for someone with celiac disease, but I don't think I can stomach going back now.

If I had to eat gluten free this beautiful restaurant would be a dream come true! I don’t have a need to, and due to cost would only go if others were needing gluten-free. Overall great food!

This Bakery is amazing! Not just the gluten free food, but the great prices and the super friendly staff. They go above and beyond. I live in Minneapolis and spend quite a bit time in the St. Cloud Area. This is my 1st stop when I get to town. This is a great oasis for the gluten free community. I can't wait to visit again. Stop on in. You will not be disappointed! Ben Premack Minneapolis

Walking in off the street I genuinely gasped when I realized *all* the offerings on the menu board were gluten-free -- I'm a newcomer to dietary restrictions (gluten-free/dairy-free) and it's been a tough journey but I love this place and I'm excited to come back again. The staff were really well-informed about food allergies/finding options that met my specific needs, and it's got a great classic neighborhood bakery feel. The muffins are wonderful but the baguettes are really next level good.

Hen House Eatery has the feel of an old-time diner, but it is so much more. It has many food choices, and the gluten-free accommodation worked for me. I would definitely eat there again the next time I'm in Minneapolis.

Laura Fredrickson

This unassuming little cafe is SO AMAZING! I travel across town just to eat here. I can't get enough of everything on their Gluten Free Menu - the pancakes are to die for, and I take home at least two of their scones, almond & lemon bars. (yes, they are ALL gluten free!) I am OBSESSED with this place 💖

Riley Buchanan

Cutest cupcake shop ever! The atmosphere was amazing, and the cupcakes were even better! The gluten-free cupcakes tasted just like ones with gluten, which I think is so rare, and im so happy that Nadias cakes found a way to make them so good! It was a wonderful experience, and I 100% recommend!

Larry Slocum

Their gluten free menu is very well thought out and yummy. Always enjoy our visit. We were able to sit outside

Susie Schuster

Well informed on gluten free options and dam good gluten free pie.

Cindy Heilman

I can always count on excellent soup and sandwiches! And, with celiac disease I can trust that I’ll get gluten free.

Doug PV

Had some tasty gluten free options!

Ella B.

Lovely little shop. They had a lot more unique teas than what I’ve seen at other places along with interesting coffee specials such as a squash latte for fall. They serve all sorts of gluten free items such as pastries and ice cream.

Amy's Cupcake Shoppe is a gem in Hopkins, MN, and an absolute must-visit! As a gluten-free and vegan dessert lover, I can confidently say this is my number one spot for cupcakes. The care and creativity Amy and her team pour into crafting treats that everyone can enjoy—no matter their dietary needs—is unmatched. And trust me, as a baker myself, I know how tricky it is to perfect gluten-free and vegan goodies. But at Amy's, they absolutely nail it every time. Beyond the deliciousness, what sets Amy's apart is their heart. Amy and her team are so much more than expert bakers—they’re champions for the community. Whether it’s supporting local events, collaborating with other businesses, or simply making their shop a welcoming space for all, you can feel the love and passion in everything they do. If you’re looking for incredible sweets made with intention and a team that radiates kindness and joy, Amy’s Cupcake Shoppe is the place to be. Do yourself a favor and try their cupcakes (and cookies, and macarons—you won’t regret it!).

Very good, and everyone changes gloves after serving each guest. It's definitely a great place for gluten-free dessert after dinner.

Mickey Mikeworth

Vegan and gluten-free, the largest most extensive waffle menu you’ve ever seen hidden in an obscure parking lot coffee shop. Family run and hires lots of kids from the community. They actually care, they say hello to people when they walk in, and if they don’t get your order right, which they didn’t get ours right they will do everything to fix it and bacon and cheddar in your waffle is fantastic. There’s a reason it’s the first thing on the menu. Outdoor seating that is informal and you can bring your kids.

Waited 45 minutes for 2 omelettes with hashbrowns. Omelettes were small, ham was sliced up lunchmeat and the hashbrowns were so salty they were inedible. The female staff person emptying the garbage went straight to touching clean silverware and then to serve our food without washing her hands. The only good part of the visit was the gluten-free chocolate muffin, however, I will find out in a couple hours if it was actually GF. I would not visit this place again.

Clover Meadow Bakery is incredible!! I am not able to eat gluten or dairy and the amazing bakery selection of items I could eat did not disappoint!! The atmosphere of the bakery is absolutely delightful!! Abby is an extremely talented baker and has gone to great lengths to provide delicious bakery items for those with food allergies. There was nothing I couldn’t eat and it sure made my tummy and heart happy!! I can’t wait to visit again and again! I whole heartedly recommend Clover Meadow Bakery to EVERYONE!! Your tastebuds and tummy will thank you!!

Molly V

was excited to come here due to the many reviews about gluten free options which are very hard to find. Sadly they did not have anything gluten free 😕

Tracy Schnagl

Every time we are up on the North Shore we stop in for dinner and pie! Most of the waitstaff are very knowledgeable, but there are a couple of duds. Today I got the Hot Beef meal, and they can make it with gluten free bread and make a gluten free gravy. Of course the pies are the big draw, and we think they win over Betty's Pies. Today I had the Lemon Angel. They also have a Raspberry Cream and a Blueberry Cream. All three come on meringue crust. So light and fluffy and delicious!

2025-03-01 Super cute bakery, also has some premade soups and entrees to take to go. Everything looked super tasty and had a gluten free section.

If you're gluten-free or celiac I would avoid this location!!! Horribly dirty ! DO NOT EAT HERE place was disgusting never seen keys so disgusting sadly. Food wasn't keys signature style or taste I eat keys alot at other locations. And the urinal in the men's bathroom was the worst black mold and grime that I've ever seen it was horrible standing piss unbelievable ! Very disappointed. Cook didn't pay attention to my lady's allergies either. Overall just not a clean place either dirt and grime on tables sticky stuff on floors and window sill area . Brown gravy on floor and bench areas everywhere on floor was dirty look like it hadn't been swept in a month. Very poor appearance. 👀🤦‍♂️😔 WASTED TRIP OF TIME N MONEY . Roseville#2 Woodbury#3 or Hudson#1 KEYS are definitely the go-to. (If you're gluten-free or celiac I would avoid this location!!! )

Laura Hillman

Had some amazing gluten free chocolate cake and an okay latte, but this isn’t a place to hang out. I was trying to get some work done and was told there was no wifi.

Joshua Spikberg

Coho Cafe & Bakery is a charming North Shore spot with delicious food, friendly service, and cozy vibes. The breakfast burritos, wild rice sausage dishes, and fresh baked goods are standouts, and they offer great gluten-free options. A perfect stop for a relaxing meal or coffee break.

Was stopping through town and wanted to check it out since we knew it was all gluten free. Our son has celiac and there is awesome grocery and bakery items that we had never seen before. The cupcakes were amazing! So glad we found this little joint for our son.

Reached out 2 weeks ago by phone to ask about scheduling a tasting for a gluten free cake and cupcakes for my wedding. I was told I needed to send in an inquiry online—which I did. I called back a week later after not receiving a response and received a response via email the same day. I have replied to the initial response twice as well as called the store twice looking for a response and have received nothing. I have done large cupcake orders from them in the past as well as walk in purchases—both of which have been great experiences. Disappointed is an understatement!

David MacPhail

Gluten free pancakes were awesome! The portions were out of control, three pancakes were WAY too much! The service, atmosphere and real maple syrup were great.

Deanna Julich

This is a bustling coffee shop for such a small town. They have traditional and creative drinks and fantastic pastries - gluten free options too! Very friendly staff. Hope to stop again!

Kristine Tran

Such beautiful merchandising and prepared foods. So excited that Kowalski’s is carrying NUFS, our gluten free and seed oil free crackers! Bought some Manchego for the Hot Honey crackers after my wedding dress at The Wedding Shoppe!

Krystil Rose

Partygoers were floored that these cupcakes were egg and dairy free, and some gluten free on top of that! Everyone had wonderful things to say. I had the cookie dough, and it did indeed taste just like a whipped scoop of cookie dough on top! Thanks Vegan East 💚

By far the best pizza I have ever had and I have lived all over this beautiful country of ours. Can't go wrong with whatever you choose to order, even the gluten free crust is good. Don't waste your time going to any other pizza joint nearby... It is worth the 40 minute wait or so for the pizza.

I cannot recommend Cream of the Cakes enough. The amount of pros I have to list is extensive, but worth the read for anyone scrolling reviews as they debate trying out this bakery. - Excellent, top-notch quality: I'm consistently blown away by the taste and art of these scratch-made baked goods. Things I used to dislike, I fell in love with when made by Cream of the Cakes (French Silk pie; cheesecake; etc.) Just incredible. The cakes are as the best cakes should be: moist, flavourful, rich in taste and beautiful to boot. I have not found any bakery in the Twin Cities or beyond that can compare to the level of quality and flavour that this little Lakeville one achieves. - Good variety regardless of space challenges: While the bakery's space is quite small, there is still a more that sufficient variety of things available to try. There are many different cupcakes all named after women that inspired the owner/founder/head baker Liz, which is fun and interesting. There is FANTASTIC quiche in multiple flavours. There are "cake parfaits" (delicious), chocolate-dipped pretzel sticks, the best cake pops known to man, cookie wedges, cinnamon rolls, cheesecakes, whole cakes for those who forgot to plan ahead, and even "pupcakes" --- safe, adorable treats for your dog. There's a lot more... Try them all! - Seasonal offerings: You'll never be let down coming to Cream of the Cakes frequently if you like/need to try new things frequently, or are hoping for something available that's relevant to the current holiday. There's always something creative and different available. - Good prices and a variety of them too. Yes, ordering a custom cake can get expensive, but the quality of what you get is more than worth the price. Additionally, the prices of things available otherwise is more than reasonable even outside of today's inflation climate. The discounted $1.25 day-olds is a nice touch as well. - Gluten free availability: For those who cannot consume gluten, you'll find a generous variety of genuinely tasty options at this bakery. - Personable service: No matter how busy it gets, everyone here is friendly and generally lovely. My only cons: - I long for Cream of the Cakes to be able to expand their selection even more. I would so much rather support them over the big grocery stores when it comes to loaves of bread, bagels, donuts, and muffins, which they do not have (muffins on a rare occasion, but not usually). - Related: space. It gets crowded quickly in such a small space. It's homey, and generally not too much of an issue as a customer, but ideally they should expand once it's possible! Overall: 10/10 bakery. Seriously. Check them out. Try things you maybe wouldn't normally try, because Cream of the Cakes is the cream of the crop when it comes to bakeries.

We stumbled upon this place recently and I am thrilled that we did. Great selection of grab and go items, including so many gluten-free options. All very fresh and delicious. The gluten-free strawberry shortcake was amazing and the clerk helpful and knowledgeable. Bonus, they have a nice shaded patio on the side of the building. Can't say enough positive things about Janna's!

Bread & Chocolate is one of my favorite spots! The drinks are always solid, and the bakery items are fresh and delicious. As someone who is gluten-free, I really appreciate that they have amazing GF options—the GF scones and the GF chocolate brownie cookie are absolutely incredible! If you're lucky, you can snag some day-old cookies at 50% off, and they’re still super fresh. The only (minor) con is the seating—the tables feel a little too high, or maybe the chairs are too low? Not quite sure, but it’s a bit awkward. That said, I’m being nitpicky because I still love working here or meeting up with people. Definitely worth a visit!

We got our wedding cake from nothing bundt cake and it was so good! We got the gluten free chocolate chip and it was perfect. We love nothing bundt cake!!!

This place definitely gives bougie minimalist vibes: it's not bad, but it feels like something out of an Instagram post, not real. Most of the seating is not very cozy, but there is some variety. They do carry a couple of gluten-free food items, and I am very curious to try the GF sourdough, but it has been sold out or awaiting restocking when I have been there. The beverages are tasty but not cheap. I mean, not everything should be cheap, but this is a special occasion place for me, not part of the regular routine, because it's not in my budget, you know?
