Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Japan

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

Mel Griffin

Amazing. We ordered two savory and two sweet crepes and their matcha lattes. Everything was delicious and the staff is so friendly. The place is small so go early for seats.

Vero .Ibril

Excellent place for people with celiac disease! Everything is gluten-free and delicious. We tried the pepperoni pizza, a baguette, a bacon braid, and a kind of vegan curry-filled bun. It's a small takeout place, although there are a couple of benches outside where you can eat. The guy is very friendly and speaks perfect English. 100% recommended, but we recommend getting there early because they're so fast.

Anne Namuth

The whole place is gluten free. Between 3 and 5 pm they only serve dessert and drinks. The parfait is phenomenal.

Lara Acucella

Great gluten-free ramen and vegan and gluten-free gyoza. They saved my dinner, and it was a great rescue 😋😋😋 They don't guarantee contamination since they don't have separate kitchens, but they proved to be attentive and prepared. I highly recommend it 😊

Marcus S

Amazing! Amazing! Lovely staff and a cosy little cafe. We arrived late in the day, 5.30 (close at 6pm) and they accommodated us for a quick dessert. They had sold out of their rice flour bread so couldn’t get the sandwiches. Highly recommend.

We had been travelling in Japan for Several days, and the members of our party with coeliac was looking for a change. Tucked away on Miyajima, this small cafe is dedicated gluten free. The fried chicken was wonderful, and the curries smelled great. And then there were the donuts… It was just delightful to find such flavors one GF food, almost by accident.

Laurène Thébault de Marsilly

It was so good. gluten free pasta and matcha cheesecake, very tasty, and rice bread.

Saved our trip! My son is gluten free, and Japan (largely) is not. It was very hard to find food for him, and other gluten free shops either weren’t really gluten free, or just tasted bad, had very small menus, or were closed when they said they were open. But Biossa had exactly what we needed. Good, fresh, delicious gluten free bread, muffins, baguettes, and croissants! That way we could pack and carry the breads around Tokyo, so my son could eat almost anywhere (by swapping out the provided breads with these gluten free ones). Game-changing. Thanks Biossa!

Emily Hunt

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

It's a restaurant that specializes in vegan and gluten-free food, and it doesn't use rice flour, so it was very helpful. The stylish atmosphere was also nice. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced, so it was a good experience.

Dana

My friend is gluten-free, therefore she was really happy with the wide selection. I tried the sesame ramen, but it was really bland, and the little bit of soy meat tasted like nothing

Bowie Fong

A very delicious vegan cake shop❤️ Located opposite the Shinjuku Gyoen front entrance. Ordered○Banana tart バナナタルト 950 yen (tax included) ●Very smooth and delicious, with a European style cake flavor. Vegan and gluten-free, but still feels super delicious. ●The cream is also very smooth. ♡You can order a whole cake, book 3 days in advance. ■Hope to book a whole cake for myself at one time😆

I ate here no more than 20 minutes ago and it was wonderful. It’s difficult to find gluten free places in Japan, especially along with being vegan - This restaurant was lovely, the food was great and the staff are so kind, friendly and sweet. We had the lunch plates (where you basically get to try a bit of everything, everywhere should do that am I right?!), donut, chocolate waffle and regular waffle - Everything was so nice, I’m vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater, we loved all of it but had opposite favourites to one another so it’s definitely worth a try! Enjoy everyone!

Anne Namuth

The pizza is not gluten free … but there are several GF choices. I had the shrimp risotto — really good.

Lucas K

The açaí bowl was very good; however, we found the service disinterested and the atmosphere lacking. If you’re in the area and need a gluten-free bite, it’s worth a stop, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit this location.

Jonathan Smith

We were visiting Sapporo from New Zealand and found this GF Cafe online. We had the most wonderful breakfast and actually returned for lunch on the same day. The husband and wife who own and operate the Cafe are wonderful and amazing people. Be sure to visit even if you aren't Gluten Free .. the food is good. We look forward to seeing you again when we return to Sapporo in August or September next year (2026)

Best falafels in town! Also has great gluten free muffins!

R I

All of the carefully prepared dishes were delicious! The gluten-free pasta was well-flavored, the dashi soy sauce had a mild taste, and the salmon pasta had a nice yuzu flavor. The soy milk amazake soft serve ice cream was mellow and not at all heavy, and went really well with the strong espresso.

Liliane Lapointe

Very good gluten free crepes ! Had the ham with onions : so yummy!

Showed coeliac card and was assured it would be fine but later found out they were unable to accomodate due to cross contamination.

I always come here when I come to Osaka. I don't know how many times I've been there. It's easy for even an old man to enter by himself. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable. The location is in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth coming just for this shop. I tried almost everything on the menu, but on this day I ordered the power bowl and soup set for 1,580 yen. It's a little pricey, but it really fills you up. It's loaded with vegetables and almost gluten-free. After eating, I noticed the seasonal menu posted on the wall. Brown rice risotto set! I should have done this! ! I will go again.

I enjoyed my green salad very much. The balance of all the green veggies, with the smallest pop of a red lettuce in it was excellent. The dressing was a outstanding pesto, which I almost wished for more of, however I was so glad to be able to taste and appreciate each of my vegetables individually, again harmony. The tiramisu was vegan and gf, as were all the desserts. This dessert was great as a df gf customer. What we would have liked more of, a few more gluten free options on the savory menu. The green salad was the solitary option. No soup or warm food was gluten free on the entire menu. Many vegan people would like this choice. I am celiac, and found your restaurant on Atly, a gluten free restaurant App. It would only enhance the menu to have 1 soup and 1 warm meal. This would raise the stars to 5 stars!🌟

Lots of vegetables! A vegetable cafe that does not use eggs, milk, or flour✨ You can also enjoy the ``Salad Bowl,'' which consists of vegetables, nuts, rice, and other grains arranged together in a large bowl, or the ``Buddha Bowl,'' which originated on the West Coast of the United States and is a one-plate dish. When I received it, it was red rice, quinoa, carrots, avocado, tomatoes, nuts, lettuce, etc.😃 In addition to the Buddha Bowl, we also have vegetarian curry, vegan sandwiches, gluten-free pasta and sweets, and we also have children's sets ❤️

Corinna Finney

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

Emily Ko

YALL. Run don’t walk to this bakery. Not only was everything dairy and gluten free but everything, but one dessert, was nut free too! Wow. I highly recommend the black sesame waffle ice cream. I want to come back again 💕

Yahli mordo

Absolutely amazing people and amazing gluten free food! This place is a heaven to gluten free people!!

Sachte

Many gluten free options for lunch and different gluten free cakes. The staff were attentive and took my coeliac condition seriously, answering all my questions with care and to the best of their knowledge. It was reassuring to see them checking all the dishes on the menu that they could safely offer me. Most importantly, the cakes were delicious.

Tina Chu

The best vegan and gluten free desserts I’ve ever tried (and I’m from LA where we’re spoiled with allergen friendly options)! The hojicha cake was my favorite; the matcha cake and ice cream sandwich were fantastic as well. The soy milk tea lattes were a delightful pairing.

If you want to drink matcha latte in Kyoto, this is the place♡! Enjoy authentic coffee made by baristas Here Kyoto's second store opens in Kiyomizu-dera Temple. [here Kyoto Kiyomizu] ︎︎︎︎︎︎☑︎ Matcha omelet 700yen Gluten Free Omelette Matcha ︎︎︎︎︎︎☑︎ Matcha caramel affogato latte 850yen Matcha Caramel Affogato Latte Filled with matcha sauce I went to Kyoto because I wanted to drink a strong matcha latte ♡ Astringency of matcha × bitterness of espresso × Saltiness of caramel sauce x sweetness of milk The latte that spread in my mouth was so delicious ❤︎ ⸝⸝ A chewy and fluffy omelet with a buttery flavor. Matcha cream and caramelized walnuts It's included and it's also delicious ♩ There are seats in the narrow space outside the store. It's surprisingly hard to notice, so it's a hidden gem! !

I found a natural cafe that serves gluten-free shortcake and other healthy sweets. They also don't use meat, eggs, dairy products, refined sugar, or chemical seasonings. Great for vegans too♪ They have a wide variety of coffees, so I recommend them to those looking for decaf coffee◡̈ And the prices are surprisingly cheap. This area is close to Ginza, so I was prepared to pay a fair amount, but I was surprised at how cheap it was and it was easy on the wallet, so I was happy. The interior of the store is made of glass and has a high ceiling, making it a very open and airy space. Thank you for the meal♡

Anne Namuth

Had a really good GF breakfast with roasted veggies - poached eggs - and sausage. It’s been hard to find a place that is GF and has veggies … so this was appreciated. The meal was big. But we are traveling today and won’t find another GF meal for a while.

林玉彰

The French bakery at Ginza No. 6 has a variety of items, with a delicate texture and strong gluten. The chewing process is a little laborious, but the aftertaste is fragrant and long-lasting. I don’t know how long I haven’t eaten such delicious bread. Although there were a lot of people queuing up at the checkout, the cashier was very systematic and quickly digested the flow of people without waiting for a long time.

Christopher Wilson

Fully vegan bakery in Tokyo! Super tasty and awesome to find a vegan and gluten free friendly bakery in Tokyo. We tried a bunch of things and they were all really good! Super sweet staff as well!!

はる

This is a great shop for gluten-free bread. Surprisingly, there aren't any, so I'm glad it's within my range of action. I love using it because it goes well with coffee. .

Sam Stein

Bloom is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Okinawa. The coffee is amazing (brown sugar latte 😍), the food is delicious, the staff is so friendly and kind, and the vibe is relaxed and chill. They also have decaf espresso AND gluten free options which are hard to find on Oki! Thank you Bloom for being my coffee shop away from home 🫶🏼

Melissa

Delicious fluffy gluten free pancakes (suitable for celiac). I recommend the one with red bean paste and matcha ice cream! You won’t regret it!

Liam Apter

I would absolutely recommend this to other people who are gluten free / celiac. As a celiac I have eaten here twice and they are very helpful when making food that is gluten free. They have an allergy list on their menu which allows you to see all the dishes that are wheat free. Noting they do mention gluten as it is not a formal allergy in Japan. They do offer gluten free bread though! Additionally, they were able to provide meal substitutes - removing a certain sauce - to make it wheat / gluten free. However, do not worry as I have eaten here twice - October 2024 and April 2025 - and as a symptomatic celiac I have had no reaction to it. If you are vegetarian / vegan this may be quite hard to have a full meal here as most dishes involve meat of some sort.

Daniel Allen

Little oasis in the airport with tasty food and friendly and speedy service. As well as vegan, there are gluten free options.

pietro zani

the place is 100% gluten free and it's really good. I advise you to take the mochi and the cakes! amazing!

I “さんぽ”

I was curious about this shop! There are six types of lightly roasted beans, and you can check out the smell and choose your favorite! I chose iced coffee. It had a good balance of sourness, refreshing aroma, and sweetness. The matcha donuts were vegan and gluten-free. They were filling and delicious!! There were a lot of tourists, and the shop was bright and had a nice atmosphere. I want to go again!!

Jim Nugent

As a coeliac with limited Japanese vocabulary, it was great to have the food on display clearly labelled with GF. Strong recommendation for any gluten suffers looking for a bite to eat.

めめ

I've been here for lunch several times. I really liked the sea urchin pasta here, which was also made into gluten-free noodles, but to be honest, it was bad this time. There were fewer sea urchins, and I felt that the amount was small. The female staff member also kept asking, "Would you like some water?" and interrupted the conversation. The dishes were cleaned up as soon as I finished eating, and it wasn't busy, so I stayed for about 40 minutes before heading home. Honestly, including the drinks, the lunch costs over 2,000 yen, and it's far from the station, so I don't think I'll go there again.

Aloma

We tried the "Have a Good Day Plate", along with the avocado toast with gluten free bread. French toast, and Petit Gateau, also gluten free and dairy free. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were well-balanced. However, the Petit Gateau could have been slightly less baked to achieve that perfect melted chocolate center. Overall, a great spot for a delicious and visually appealing breakfast in Osaka with a lovely view.

Geoff Jennings

Delicious. It's not always easy eating gluten free in Japan, but I have to. Spotted a big gluten free sign outside and was stoked to see all the gluten free choices were clearly marked. Enjoyed my onigiri and a spam/egg "burger". They have a small bar for eating in, but seem to do mostly to-go. The person working (owner) was friendly and happily helped me when I asked a question using Google translate. I wish I was going to be able to visit again this trip!

A small, peaceful cafe on a quiet street. Small food menu with some gluten free + vegan options. Owner was very friendly, thank you for the great coffee + cake.

Adrián G

A very relaxing place with several gluten free options ideal for people with celiac disease If you are celiac you will enjoy it, especially the chocolate cake seemed spectacular, very tasty. They only accept cash payments. They speak English, at least the basics to order.

Selina Turner

We came for coffee in the morning and pizza in the evening. Great spot, the gluten free pizza was amazing, cannot recommend enough!
