Top 30 Gluten-Free Spots for Bread Lovers in Sarasota

Jane Pimentel

The best fish and chips.

Deborah “Debbie” Schultz

The menu mentions asking about gluten-free options, so I asked what was gluten-free. The answer, “everything”. They have gluten-free toast, French toast, and waffles! They also have sugar-free syrup! Having a wheat allergy and being diabetic usually means I have to be very selective. I was amazed at how accommodating this restaurant is. The food was amazing and Phillip was an excellent server!

Definitely not celiac friendly! You can smell the baked pizza in the air. Yeah nope! How can anybody rate these places as gluten-free friendly. Seriously, just walking in and being there for 5 minutes, my son and I both were symptomatic, and we didn't even eat or drink anything

Great place, food is delicious 🤤 gluten free & vegan. Every time we are in Sarasota that’s our HAPPY 😃 PLACE. Our servers Andrey and Matt were great explaining the menu and advise us options. This was the weekend of Saturday May 3rd - Monday May 5th, 2025.

100/10, absolutely excellent. Especially if you have Celiac and have to be gluten free -- they have GOT YOU. This is one of the largest gluten free menus I've ever been able to order from that wasn't a dedicated GF restaurant. We got the drunken shrimp, chicken risotto, and smores budino, and it was so good! There were five or six GF deserts I could've chosen too, which is unheard of. The gluten free bread alone won me over. It was so incredible, even my husband loved it. The wine is delicious -- we joined the wine club and got the seasonal dragonfruit sangria, as well as the white sangria. Highly recommend!! Bonita at the wine tasting bar took care of us, she has the best personality and laugh, such a joy. 🥰 Give this woman a raise! Also Casey W, our waitress, for the great service and taking care of my GF needs. We had such a great experience, we definitely recommend. Top 3 restaurant in the Tampa/St. Pete/Saraota area for us.

We visited from TN and we can't wait to come back and eat here again. The food is fresh and healthy. So many gluten free options too since my husband has celiac and I am gluten intolerant. The staff are so nice and willing answer any questions you have. Definitely a 10 out of 10 ☺️

I love Simon’s! I’ve been going for years and the food is always amazing! I always go for any vegan specials and the soups are always delicious and unique! I also never leave without a dessert for later! Such a great variety of vegan, gluten free and other items! A huge bonus is that their entire team is incredible! Local- family owned- great options- check them out!

WELL THE YARD HOUSE IS TOP TIER I WILL SAY. GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS ARE AMAZING, THE BARQUE BACON BURGER IS AMAZING HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I THINK IT WAS THE JUICEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD. WOULDVE LIKED A LITTLE BETTER SERVICE BUT THE PLACE IS GREAT. GOOOO TOOOO YARDDD HOUSEEEE

Restaurant right on the water with lots of covered and not-covered seats. You can sit and enjoy all the boats going by. It gets busy so expect a bit of a wait, but you can grab a drink from the bar and wait at the picnic tables by the dock. The staff was super friendly, and the food was good. The Cesar salad with Mahi was ok, not great, but the veggie burger was really tasty. And they have gluten free burger buns.

As much as I love Culver's, recently I've been having a major problem as I have to be gluten-free. They forgot about half of my order like the toppings I've ordered and then they forget the condiments. Their food is delicious though that's why I keep going back

Great place to stop when heading home from Venice. Always a great meal and Gluten free bun option.

Beth Bostrom

The staff have been very knowledgeable and helpful with all my Celiac gluten precautions and questions. They have a gluten free bun, so most burgers can be made gluten-free. I prefer to order at the counter register so I can talk to a staff member and clarify preparation process and ingredients. I always have to ask those things in case something has changed, and they are so patient and nice. Seriously, the customer service has been fantastic. There's a shared fryer, so I can't have the fries. And the shacksauce has spices and natural flavors without origin, so I skip that. But the gluten-free bun hasn't fallen apart on me and the burgers are delicious, so that's a win! If you have gluten issues and are craving a quick and yummy burger, I definitely recommend this location of Shake Shack.

Was there in mid December 2024, sat outside, waiter was great, had burgers (I am GF, had the swiss mushroom on GF bread, no issue, but I am not celiac), burgere were exceptionally good. Espresso Martini also very good. Will be back!

The CUTEST little breakfast cottage. I just can't say enough good things! Every little detail was just so comforting. From the toy kits handed out to every kid, to the unique salt and pepper shakers on every table, down to the miniature tin watering cans that held your receipt. The vintage feel was just so charming. We arrived at about 9:30 and there were lots of people waiting outside. We assumed the wait would be long, but she said 5 minutes. It was less than 5 minutes and we were already seated with drinks. And our food came out so fast! They have such a quick and organized operation but you don't feel rushed. Ciara was our waitress and although VERY busy, she was so sweet and very attentive to all of her tables. She was very knowledge on the menu and even built me the BEST gluten free french toast since I really wanted the lemon lavender blueberry pancakes but couldn't have the gluten. We noticed she was also bussing her tables! She was really awesome and I feel like she deserves the recognition. We are from Baltimore and we love supporting local. I am so glad we stumbled upon this gem!

While on a road trip we found this awesome place. So I've been on some strange habits lately of only eating out and ordering things I can't get usually. ( a bit strange I know but it's getting me to order outside the box ) I had the Rueben on Rye with potato salad. I would def order that again. Buttery, toasty, flavorful and filling. It could have a bit more meat though. Potato salad was yummy! My partner had the matcha and a muffin. Muffin was sweetened with monk fruit, gluten free, and just the right amount of fluffy/moist. Lastly we got a sausage & egg everything bagel with a slice of tomato and it was good. Everything is fresh to order yet it didn't take long. Although we didn't get to try all the baked goods they have a really hefty selection.

We’ve visited Jack Dusty at The Ritz-Carlton multiple times and have generally loved our experiences. Our recent dinner in early May was no exception in terms of ambiance — the setting was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing evening. The service was attentive and friendly, which we always appreciate. However, we did notice a dip in the food quality compared to previous visits. It seemed like the kitchen might have been in between seasons or adjusting their menu, which could explain the inconsistency. Additionally, we were disappointed to find no gluten-free/vegetarian options available. In today’s culinary landscape, offering gluten-free choices is quite straightforward for chefs, so it was a bit surprising that this wasn’t accommodated. Overall, still a lovely spot with great service and ambiance, but we hope to see a return to the high standards of food quality and more inclusive menu choices on our next visit.

If you haven’t been to Florence & The Spice Boys at The Landings since Chef Michelle Wolforth has been at the helm, this has to be your next dining destination! Every item on Chef Michelle’s menu is a true gastronomic experience. Each dish is thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented. The harissa roasted carrots, perfectly cooked octopus, and curry mussels were absolutely extraordinary!! The gluten-free pita was also outstanding! This elevated culinary experience was complimented by a wonderful staff in an aesthetically beautiful interior. The food, the service, and the vibe are unsurpassed. Thank you, Chef Michelle!!

Fresh and delicious ingredients. Their sandwich specials of the day are an incredible value. Anything from their menu is delicious and a great pick. Excellent Cuban sandwiches - they also have gluten free bread as an option. Been in business 30 years!

Lisa Muccio

We eat here about once a week for breakfast. Everything tastes fresh and they are so great about customizing sandwiches. Love that they have a gluten free bread option. The Eggstreme BLT is a fave breakfast option. For lunch I really like the turkey club.

Malin Parker

I really want to like Culver's. They are one of the few places in town that are able offer a burger with a gluten-free bun where my wife knows she won't get sick. Nothing bad about the food, but I just like places where you can "taste the love" that goes into it.

Pam A

Gluten free eggs Benedict was so good we questioned if it was gf. We also enjoyed hash brown patties.

Best pizza I’ve ever had!! The place welcomes you with cozy atmosphere and attentive service only adds to the experience. I’ve had pepperoni jalapeño and it left me absolutely speechless: perfect combination of home-made red sauce, high quality cheese blend, and other ingredients. Highly recommend to add a Greek salad to your order, they also have plenty of other vegetarian and gluten free options. Definitely will be back many more times with my friends and family!

We have to have specially-prepared gluten free subs. We were taken care of promptly. The subs were made in a special area. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. They don't even charge extra $$ for gf buns! We've found a new favorite place for a quick lunch!

Mayesha Sahir Mim

Loved the pizzas and the crust was the best (packages say extra-gluten!). Seafood pizza was interesting. The owner was super hospitable.

Gina

Love that I can get a sandwich with Gluten-free bread! So delicious!

Rachael Ridings

My boyfriend and I get smoothies here occasionally and as far as my experiences have gone they are always good! Our most recent visit we were greeted by Nybree who was very nice and welcoming (we felt as if he deserved a friendly shoutout)! our smoothies are always made in a timely manner and taste delicious! During our most recent visit I noticed they updated/accommodated their menu so almost every smoothie can be made gluten free which I genuinely appreciate!!

Heather Sullivan

First time at this location. As someone with a gluten allergy Sawyer let us know all of the precautions they take to avoid cross contamination and made a great sandwich for me. We were very happy with having someone go above and beyond and have that level of awareness and patience in serving gluten free at a sub shop. We’ll be back soon!
