Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Connecticut

Chronically Coupy

Always a great experience. Surreal to go into a bakery & not have to mention gluten or Celiac at all. No matter what time of day it is - I grab a fresh bacon, egg, & cheese on an english muffin - with a cinnamon bun to take home. 10/10 highly recommend. Willing to drive over 30 minutes to visit.

I really wanted to love this place. Service was great. I’m celiac so I was excited to find a breakfest joint I could eat at. I ate a Ruben with fries. Was really good even got one to go. But within the hour my stomach dropped out and I have to find a bathroom. I’m unsure if it was due to gluten or just how heavy/greasy the food was. I was disappointed that me and my partner dropped eighty bucks on breakfast for it to come out of me like a waterslide. 😭😓😭

Tasty can't be beat. Never had any gluten issues here!!

So exciting to go to a restaurant where I was able to eat almost everything the menu. Server was incredibly knowledgeable about Celiac. The best part is that they have a dedicated fryer!

Virginia Messina

I love this place! Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing! Their baked goods are to die for. I especially love their cinnamon rolls, especially when they have the coffee Oreo one! Lots of caffeine options too. The atmosphere is also so cozy. I always bring my book and spend some time reading while indulging in treats! Everything is 100% gluten free. They also cater to other allergies as well. Just check the signage to see if it’s df, nut free, etc.

Perfect spot for a Celiac to have breakfast! Need to open a franchise in Hudson, MA!

Taryn

If you are in need of vegan or gluten free options that actually taste great, this is the spot for you!

Kelly Miskunas

Wonderful bakery with a variety of options for pastries and cakes. You can’t even tell their goods are dairy and gluten free. They are delicious!

Son recently became gluten free and was looking for restaurant in the area that had some choices. We had BLT's and sweet potato fries. They were fantastic and would never know bread was GF. Fantastic customer service! Inside seating was very clean with a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely come again when back in this area!

Laurie Jambor

We love Plan B for their dedicated fryer and many GF options. My celiac daughter loves the chicken tenders and tots and we’ve never had any issues with feeling sick after eating here

Martha Rogers

Our favorite GLUTEN FREE place to eat. There is a menu just for GF. Never disappointed with the food.

Delicious gluten free and vegan pancakes. My husband enjoyed the Tuscan omelette. The Greek yogurt parfait could have been a little larger. Service was great!

Bridget H.

We had a great meal at the Engine Room. It was a low key Sunday evening for us. I loved my burger and the gluten free (gf) bun was great. My partner got the fish and chips and said they were delicious too.

My only compliant about The Cake Box is there baked goods are so good, I'd like to be eating one with every meal. And my waistline would suffer. Seriously The Cake Box is one of the best gluten free bakeries on the planet. If I'm anywhere within 10 miles I'll drive out of my way to stop by. Absolutely, incredibly delicious baked goods!!!

Kathryn Fox

Stopped by here while visiting family in the area. It's difficult for me to find quality gluten free items at home, so I try to stop at places when I have the chance. It is FANTASTIC and I can't wait to stop by again. The whoopie pie--- AMAZING. Next time I will absolutely stock up on those. The cookies were excellent, and I'm looking forward to the biscuits. I was able to freeze almost everything. Yes, a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in this case and it is QUALITY and absolutely worth it for me. Gluten free is always expensive, so it might as well be from a local bakery. Thank you for having this bakery!

Scott Bianco

This is an outstanding little place with great service and amazing gluten-free options with nice cocktails

Kendra Day

We had a great experience! Our server, Angel, was the best ever! Full of energy, saved us money, and made our night so special! They accommodated gluten allergies well, and the food was great. We ordered house salads, chicken lettuce wraps, combo pad Thai, crispy honey chicken, and chocolate soufflé. All was amazing! Huge thanks to Angel!

Jared Rowe

Worth the wait! The best gluten free pancakes we have ever had. My boys and I have celiac and Ken and his team take extra care of ensuring there is no cross contamination. We all agreed that this was the best breakfast we have had on our east coast road trip. From the omelettes to the pancakes everything was top tier and Sue who waited on us has owned t

I adored everything about this place. I arrived around 9:45am and there was a bit of a line in total I waited about 25 minutes to get inside. It is helpful to look at the menus while in line and know what you want once inside the bake shop. I had the strawberry rhubarb croissant a French toast flavored ice coffee and a macaroon and ginger and molasses cookie to go. The croissant and coffee were delicious and flavorful and were perfect for my walk around town. The inside of the establishment is clean and well decorated the staff are extremely friendly and pack everything beautifully. Later in the day I had my cookies and they were flavorful the ginger and molasses was listed as gluten friendly. This is a must try place if in mystic. I wanted to see the rooftop but it was closed for a private event.

I love that this restaurant has gluten free options and takes allergies seriously! I wasn't thrilled with the service tho. My husband and I made a reservation Friday evening for a date. I picked on open table a standard table, assuming that's in the dining area not the bar. When we arrived, they were busy and it appeared they ran out of tables so they seated us at one the extended tables from the bar. I wasn't happy with the experience there, although the bartender took our orders quickly and was friendly, no one ever came back to check on us. I had a request for extra sauce but no one came by. I would have rather waited for a table than be seated at the bar, because you don't make a reservation to just sit at the bar.

Saw this on a list of best coffee in CT so I stopped in on my way to Boston. I loved the vanilla latte, but the sandwich truly blew me away. I ordered a chipotle breakfast sandwich and it was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. I loved the bread-it almost melted off the sandwich in the best way. The sandwich was well constructed and flavor profile was simply perfect, the cheese keeping the bacon well in tact. I also ordered a raspberry oatmeal bar and blueberry coffee cake at the suggestion of staff, which were great as well. They had a large selection of gluten free baked goods. The cafe is so cute and has tables inside and outside as well as a few couches inside. I’ll definitely be back!

Julianne

Delicious, interesting, healthy food. Great variety of gluten-free options including a scrumptious GF lemon bar/brownie.

Tammy Rowling

We can't have gluten, so have a hard time eating out The food here was safe and excellent

Bree

Tried this place the other day - super tasty and clean food! Love that everything is vegan, gluten free, and I think most of it (or all?) is organic. I’d be back frequently, but I live over 2 hours away. I wish I lived closer or that there was healthier restaurants like this near me. I will absolutely stop by again if in the area. I will say it was on the pricey end for me (we got a taco bowl, a sandwich, 3 beverages, and a mini muffin for $60), but I’m not from the area nor do I usually spend that much eating out, including at plant-based places local to me. If you’re from Ridgefield or surrounding areas you might not find it expensive, though… it’s all relative. Plus, you’re getting top quality clean food.

Sarah McComb

Fast and friendly service, great menu- lots of Gluten free options..good food and good prices! Side note- It's a small diner like restaurant, and when it's busy it will be loud. Highly recommended!

TJ McGuckin

Food and service were fantastic. I got the breakfast burrito and added a hasbrown inside of it. The thing was massive and very good. All wait staff was very nice. Coffee was great too. Classic old school diner look and feel. Glad to see they have multiple Gluten Free options + sourdough bread too.

Jennifer Turpin

Always a favorite when visiting that area. The food is always great, and we leave with vegan/gluten free desserts that rival no vegan/gluten free bakeries.

Natalia Provolo

I was very excited to support a local business and get goodies for my gluten free and dairy free friend for her birthday! However, I placed the order on 3/21/25, received confirmation but have never heard anything else. I have called and emailed multiple times! I even messaged them on fb. I am very frustrated and disappointed. From reading the reviews, it sounds like multiple people have experienced this issue in the past month.

Bill Jameson

The gluten free options have us coming back all the time. Thank you.

Christopher Chanowitz

Good food, great service. Very quaint and cozy. Lots of gluten free options. Food was hot and delicious 😋. Service impeccable.

Martha Rogers

Lots of Gluten Free choices (but they do charge extra for gf breads)

David Ruderman

Great sandwiches. House made chips. Gluten free options for everything. Near the state beach. What’s not to like ?

Robb Dunn

What an AMAZING find! The family and I were up this way for a tour of Oakridge Dairy and this place was recommended by the dairy guide. I am so glad we stopped in. My son is gluten free and they had so many options for him. The baked goods looked and tasted delicious. We had lunch and every sandwich was so good and fresh! I even got some things to go to have the next day. I will definitely be coming back.

Natalie Phoenix

Delicious food, plenty of gluten free options.

K D E

Was seated quickly for how busy it was on a Sunday morning and the gluten-free pancakes were delicious!!

Monique Graves

Ryen Robinson

Always a great experience dining at Paperback. The staff is so kind and accommodating and the service is quick…plus they have delicious food, catering to various allergies. Love the gluten free pancakes!

Danielle Jenkins

We came here for Father’s Day after I heard they had gluten free and egg free options. My husband has a gluten allergy and my son has an egg allergy, which can make eating out challenging and sometimes more stressful than it is worth. However, that was not the case at The Tea Kettle our server was amazing and double checked everything. The tomato soup and grilled cheese were as good as they looked.

Deborah Haffner

Great place for breakfast! Such a welcoming atmosphere and wonderful morning specials! Terrific cheerful service and not a long wait for food or service. Love that there is a gluten free menu as well. Will be back!

Shari Ryan

Super cute place, lovely owners, great staff and delicious food and drinks. They also are great at handling Gluten Free needs. I love that I have options there.

Greg Shimer

Gluten free French toast!

Jeff Adelman

Went on a supposed bogo taco Tuesday n tacos weren't on the menu n waiter possibly the manager too said they we're in process of a menu change n could still offer us the deal ☺. Excellent tacos thrown together a little sloppy, but definitely overpriced st aprox $23!! Gluten-free chicken nuggets also Excellent n large portion! Great cider in can. Server though was not very friendly or attentive. We have 1 closer to us n will most likely try a burger next time. ✌

The food was very good (although the French toast could use a bit more cinnamon and vanilla imo), also the hasbrown was literally the best I've had in a long time. Super crispy yet light! Overall it was a very nice restaurant and had a pleasant experience. The coffee is good and the staff was very friendly and accommodating with my dietary needs. They offer a decent variety of gluten-free food, including gf bread, and neither my mom nor I had a reaction (we're both celiac)! The portions are very generous as well!

Krystal Thompson

I love going to Love Heart's! It's a small business that feels like a family. They put a lot of care and, yes, love into their food. Lots of gluten free and allergen free options. Really cozy space that you want to hang out in. The service is always friendly and everyone is really kind. The coffee is good and I love the English Muffin bread. Lots of character with some good eco friendly practices. Also the prices are much lower than other places in the area and comes with equal or better quality.

Tasty bites woth gluten free options. Perfect for a nicer night out with friends or a date. Can't go wrong with Patatas Bravas

Phil Perschbacher

Got really busy on a Friday afternoon. Great deli food. Vegan and gluten-free options.

Jason Pettrey

Great local restaurant with gluten-free options. Good beer, selection and nice chili. Had some live jazz music on Saturday night as we came through as well. Not college cheap, but the food was good quality. Definitely put on your list to check out.

Congratulations! Your search for your wedding cake/dessert vendor has come to an end. The Zest team is incredible to work with. We were navigating some dietary restrictions (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, etc.), and Gabriella was incredibly patient answering all of our questions. Their communication was top notch. The on-the-go tasting still involved a conversation with Gabriella at their shop, and it was informative without feeling pressured or sales-pitchy. It was a fun experience that allowed me and my husband to have a fun little picnic and taste all the yummy items. The options available for cakes and desserts is truly incredible. There's something for every taste preference. Some highlights: The gluten free chocolate cake was incredible. The regular chocolate was also ROCKIN' with the chocolate mousse. The red velvet was moist and the cream cheese filling had a great zing to it. The chocolate sea salt caramel tarts were a major crowd pleaser (one guest said they could die happy because they had eaten it, and it was the best thing they've ever tasted). The s'mores cookies are so unique, and the mini whoopie pies are such a fun whimsical treat. The chocolate covered strawberries also received five star reviews across the board. Beyond taste, the team brought our vision for the cake to life. They nailed the Lambeth design from our inspo pics! Delivery was seamless on our end as well. Our biggest regret of the wedding is only getting a few bites of cake! We will be coming back for anniversaries to come to get some treats. From the bottom of our hearts (and stomachs) we recommend Zest!
