Top 27 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Delight in Kansas City

I used to love Billie’s back when I was only trying to avoid gluten, their desserts and baked goods are pretty good for being gluten free (even tho a bit spendy) but since being dairy free (due to allergies) Woah #GROSS!! If you are only trying to avoid gluten then the sweets aren’t too bad (but use caution as they still use powdered sugar, cream cheese, and a lot of fatty high calorie ingredients so not good if you’re trying to be health conscious) but if you have to be plant based their options are limited and seriously so disgusting I still can’t get the taste out of my mouth. Just because it is dairy free doesn’t mean it can’t be sweet and taste good, trust me, I’ve had many dairy free/vegan desserts that are SO good I had to call the place and double check because I couldn’t believe it. I ordered the plant based cookie dough bar, snickers bar and chocolate chip cookie. Both bars were dull In flavor, not sweet at all, and TOO many nuts like wow take it easy on the nuts and dates. The cookie was dry and chalky almost choked on it. I’m disappointed because options for dairy free are always limited and Billie’s has so much potential, your entire target market/demographic is very fond of eating with food allergies obviously or we’d be going to a million different places #crumbl!! But save your money and your appetite and DO NOT buy their plant based items!!!! Just make your own at home and they’ll be a million times better I guarantee it.

My friend and I loved this place. I got a cookie and she got the cinnamon roll! You would never know it is gluten free strictly with a taste test. Staff are so nice and accommodating as well! I am recently gluten free and it is so nice to be able to be able to go somewhere where I could eat everything! I was feeling so discouraged being gluten free.

Always the best crepes in the state. Sooooo good and gluten free is available for all crepes. I love the French infused atmosphere and the staff. A must visit breakfast brunch spot in the city

Fun donut experience. They even offer gluten free!

Good amount of gluten-free options, including actually-good GF toast (still rare!), and a selection of desserts. The service and atmosphere were lovely. The prices were a bit steep for the type of food and drink offered, but ultimately, it was understandable given the location and likely overhead costs. My favorite food item was the mushroom-beet toast. Haven't had anything like it before, and I was pleasantly surprised!

Loved it. People aren’t joking - the scones are really good and moist, not dry like most. Had a gluten free one, too, and it was also great.

Got two cakes for my birthday, one regular and one gluten free cake for a party I hosted. Delicious cake and one of the staff members helped me carry my cake to my car. Excellent service, taste, and got it right! Everything else at McClain's is also amazing.

I could not say enough good stuff about this place! The vibe is great, the service is amazing, BUT THE FOOD!!!!! It is amazing, and something fun and a little different. Everything I have had is amazing. They make their own variety of niche flavors of cream cheese that are delicious!!!! They also have great gluten free options!

Stopped here for my lunch break. Not only is this location super cute but also has fast and friendly service. Drive thru was busy but the inside was cozy, bright and pretty quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Perfect spot to read and enjoy some lunch! Plenty of healthy options to choose from including gluten free. The Mint Chip Energizer tastes EXACTLY like mint chip ice cream, but without the guilt!!! Delicious!! Sesame chicken salad was very fresh and tasty. H2O #5 was wonderfully refreshing during a long work day. This location will definitely be my go to place.

Phenomenal vibes with breakfast options aside from pastries even though their croissants are fire. They even have a few gluten free options. Great coffee drinks and upstairs area to enjoy and sit.

Mildred’s is one of my favorite places in the Crossroads for several reasons. 1. It’s a family owned business. That continues to be passed down to future generations. 2. The current owners are young, successful entrepreneurs who pride themselves on taking care of their employees and it is paying off BIG time!. Mildred's take-home pay has always been a living wage, and since 2022 they've been able to provide health insurance and 401k retirement benefits to their full-time employees. From kcmo.gov/livingwage: "A living wage is the minimum income necessary for workers to meet their basic needs, which include food, housing and other essential needs such as clothing... "The living wage differs from the minimum wage in that the latter is set by national law and can fail to meet the requirements to have a basic quality of life, leaving the family to rely on government assistance." 3. I am always so impressed with how professional and happy the staff are. They always go out of their way to provide excellent customer service! That is extremely rare these days! I genuinely LOVE going to any Mildred's location because it is so obvious that the employees truly enjoy their jobs! And that, my friends, speaks volumes about who is running the place! 🏆 4.The fact that their food is mouthwatering delicious is just an added bonus! I highly recommend the standard breakfast sandwich on the jalapeño cornbread. The breakfast potatoes are amazing! The biscuits and gravy are the best thing ever! And if you are gluten free, get the breakfast hash because it’s the next best thing to eating the actual breakfast sandwich!

This place is so cute and has a really calm vibe! The food and pastries (gluten free options are available) are delicious, the service prompt and friendly. This is true hidden gem of south KC, check it out, you will be so glad you did!

I don’t really eat cupcakes a lot, but after I tried this one I can tell I do not like the cupcakes. I placed an order of 2 dozens of gluten free cupcakes, since I live a far from this area I asked if the can call me when they have it read to pick up. They actually called!! I drove 25 mints with no traffic when I was picking up the delicious cupcakes were not gluten free. They offered me to remake it for the next date. I agreed to that. I will let you judge the cupcakes I didn’t taste anything extraordinary on the cupcakes plus the presentation is very ??? I hope the manager, owner, or anyone in charge can see this.
