Top 33 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Honolulu

Alisa Hobson

We stopped by Lulu’s for lunch because they have a pretty robust selection of gluten free items, which seems hard to come by in Waikiki. We had a lot of trouble with our order - 2 of our drinks had to be remade, the eggs on my Lulu Moco were fried instead of the requested over easy, and we ended up with a fly in another drink.. BUT I’ll say Sage, the waiter, and the manager both handled it really well. Both were very on top of getting things remade and coming to check on us to make sure everything was fixed to liking. The food was also good, but the fish tacos were definitely the best thing any of us ordered.

Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!

The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Riley McWilliams

Amazing beach-side restaurant! The food was great, and our waiter, Kobe, was amazing! He was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and my friend's nut allergy and gave us all the info and accommodations that we needed.

Dorothy F Shelton

Such a cool place to eat! I got a spinach bagel made on gluten free bread that was a little disappointing because it wasnt super flavorful, but my husband got the pineapple pizza on gluten free crust and that was super good! I appreciate there being gluten free options! They will make the bagels or sandwiches with gluten free bread! And they play hawaiian Jesus music and they just put on such a nice atmosphere here. :) this place deserves more business!

If I could do negative stars, I would. Story time. Husband & I chose this place for the gluten free burger bun option. We went to a previous restaurant that we thought was GF, it was unfortunately not. Husband already ordered/recieved his food to go. We explained this to the host & asked permission to bring husband's food in so that I could order and eat with him - THE HOST AGREED AND SAT US! We were then harassed by both the sever & manager seperately about the outside food. We explained to them both we were here for the gluten free option, and husband would order drink(s) ect. Didn't stop the manager from being rude to us AFTER we already explained our situation and were seated without resistance. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years, I was appalled. Train your staff better; don't agree to seat customers who are being transparent and then harass them anyways. Don't spend your money here.

Overpriced but good açai. It is not the typical Brazilian açai it is blended with banana and other things. No seating space. Has gluten-free granola.

Helen Georgiou

Great place for variety. Portion sizes are large and plentiful. The wait staff are lovely and were very informed about gluten free requirements. Have eaten here twice during my stay and no issues after eating. Great gluten free choices available. The fries are cooked separately and are gf also! Thank you for a wonderful meal. If you want to come and eat here, come early as it's very popular and you may have to line up and wait a little, but the line moves quickly.

Gillian Haden

Delicious gluten free and dairy free ice cream, right off the beach! The fruit was always fresh, and the combinations were perfect!

Rob Darwin

Do not come here if you are looking for safe dining for gluten allergy or celiac. Go to Lulu’s Waikiki instead, where they have a wide variety of gluten free items and DO make the effort to avoid cross contamination, unlike this restaurant.

Kristy Sowin

Best breakfast bagel I’ve EVER had. I’m gluten free and they have a ton of options for us GF peeps. Also, the honey latte was incredible!

Justin Ferriman

Plenty of vegan / gluten free options, as well as meat and fish. Excellent sides. Owner is the chef and is super friendly. Recommended!

Laura Foster

They had very good food with gluten free pasta and pizza. Reasonable prices. I would go back

Jeff Jorgenson

Our server Darrel was great. Food was excellent. Lasagna is top notch! Good gluten free crust.

Rae M

Great food. Very accommodating for Celiac and gluten free. Fast service. Atmosphere/lighting could be better and more inviting. Large portions. Went here twice on vacation.

You can choose as you like. You can also order your favorite burger. This time I made a gluten-free teriyaki burger 🍔🍟🥤 You can also choose how well the patty is cooked. If you don't like red, try medium rare. Because it's quite rare Well done might be fine! The shake is not sweet either And above all, the staff Extremely kind We shared one burger. They cut it neatly and divided it into pieces. Are you okay forever? Are you okay? delicious? Can you go? He asked me 😊 Potato 🍟 is also super delicious 🍟

Jane Kim

i got take out. The gluten free burger and fries were 10/10!

geneglitchcastle Castle

The food was amazing! They had a lot of gluten free options, the refills for the ice tea were free, waitress was so kind. I would definitely recommend this place!

Jennifer Gage

So Ono! Allergy aware (well noted gluten free options) and super friendly. Big variety. Enjoyed by all in my group.

Atiyya Ali

I just love this place! First and foremost the staff is amazing, I came here with my 9 month old and my hands were full, and I believe the employee’s name was Daryl, he went out of his way to help me. I couldn’t have been more grateful…this isn’t off that one experience, I’ve been here nearly everyday for a month. The staff here is very kind, and the atmosphere is great! The coffee never disappoints, and being that I’m gluten free, there aren’t many options, but the ones I do have are amazing. Highly recommend their cappuccinos, and their gluten free almond cake, and their gluten free chocolate caramel dome.

We made a reservation for 6 PM. We were a little early so they said that they needed to get the table ready. Thats fine. We waited about 10 minutes past our reservation time before they had it "ready". And then when we went up there they still had to move it to be ready. And to top it all off that table has been completelh empty when we got there to begin with so not sure why we weren't seated then since they didn't need to wait for a party to leave that was occupying the table. We had looked at the menu before hand and that was part of why we chose this place. No where on the website does it mention they have a current limited menu, like cut in half. None of the items we had planned to eat were on the limited menu including the items the 3 kids wanted bc literally all the offered were mac and cheese for kids. We had also picked this place bc we knew they had gluten free items for one member of our party. Then with the limited menu all the was available was salad and like one other item if you got it without the sauce. The drink I had gotten at the bar while we waited for nothing was very good though . We ended up leaving and eating elsewhere.

Delicious Shrimp and Charming Vibes at Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood! For a fantastic fast-casual lunch experience, look no further than Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood! Nestled charmingly amidst the shops in the Hilton Hawaiian Village area, this spot offers a delightful outdoor seating area that's both quaint and inviting. The star of the show here is definitely the shrimp – and for good reason! We all ordered it, and it was truly amazing. Cooked to perfection, it was flavorful and satisfying. Our shrimp came with a simple yet effective trio of side salad, rice, and corn. While the corn might have been from a can or frozen, it certainly didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the meal. What truly impressed us, beyond the delicious food, was their commitment to dietary needs. Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood boasts a dedicated gluten-free menu. This attention to detail is a huge plus for anyone with dietary restrictions. Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood is full of charm and delivers on its promise of delicious seafood in a relaxed, friendly setting. It's the perfect spot for a casual and tasty lunch in the heart of the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

Beautiful beach Cafe with amazing view, friendly service, and great food. Clearly labeled vegan and gluten free food. I got the vegan Moco Loco with fried rice and it was delicious. It was enough for two people. The rice was a touch undercooked. The lava flow smoothie was so good!

Alyssa Siddiqui

Celebrated our anniversary here and Roy’s was lovely. The food is was amazing, as well as the service. Made reservations, as most places in Honolulu need a reservation to get in and there was a slight wait to our table. The misoyaki butterfish was succulent and delicious. The carpaccio, tataki, and poke was refreshing. They were able to accommodate our dietary needs for gluten free. Keep room for desserts at the end. They also gave us ice cream at the end for our celebration.

RO

Great açai one of the best of the islands. Typical Brazilian includes milk powder and condensed milk. Reasonably priced. Fast and friendly service. Includes gluten-free granola.

Kelly Smith

Atmosphere was decent & inviting. Service was basic with self ordering. Gluten Free French toast was burnt on the underside. Pretty much ruined the desire to go back.

Anna Morello

Best gluten free waffles I’ve ever eaten in my entire life!! However, a breakfast for myself, husband and our 3 kids cost us $157!! It didn’t come across as very child friendly, however, the child menu was great (for non celiacs) and the kids got good value on their meals.

Mark Hook

No frills restaurant with very good food, staff was very knowledgable and able to cater for our coeliac daughter (which we found to be a struggle in other restaurants around Waikiki). Food was lovely, great place for a quick meal.

Maila Gibson

I’ve had juices, smoothies, and açaí bowls here that are always on point. When I need a good, protein packed meal, the ahi sandwich on gluten free bread is does it. The bread is locally made and dressing on the side salad is house made. The staff isn’t super friendly - somewhat cliché of a yogi, college age health bar. Plus, they’re always kinda busy. I suppose when you’re this healthy and good, you can afford to be meh.

Haley Ward

As tourists, Sweet E’s was a quick in and out breakfast spot where we fueled up after a sunrise hike or before a day of excursions—get there before 8 am to avoid a line. The servers roam between tables to ensure all guests have what they need instead of a single server checking on you infrequently. My coffee never got cold because every time a server saw room, they topped off my mug! I’m vegan and gluten free, so the only item on their menu I could eat was oatmeal, but they doctored it up with toppings like blueberries, honey, and peanut butter. And my husband had leftovers, which is a testament to the large portion sizes!

michelle reynolds

Best gluten free brownie on the planet. Top it with the sesame seed gelato.

Went here for my sisters wedding rehearsal dinner. The team was so accommodating of our allergies (gluten and dairy free) and the food was great. Kimmy our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and even gave me one of her own reusable grocery bags to help me carry our leftover wine bottles back to the hotel!

A Must-Try Gem: Goofy Cafe and Dine Exceeds Expectations! My recent visit to Goofy Cafe and Dine was an absolute delight! This charming spot truly lives up to its "cute" reputation, offering a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The star of our meal was undoubtedly the mahi-mahi. Every member of my family ordered it, and we were all in agreement – it was absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying chardonnay butter sauce was a revelation, adding a rich and flavorful touch that elevated the dish. To quench our thirst, we opted for the fresh-squeezed raspberry lemonade, and it was just as impressive. Perfectly tart and sweet, it was a refreshing complement to our meal, and another unanimous hit with the family. We also indulged in a couple of starters: the Kulua pork and the Hawaiian beef jerky. Both were excellent, setting the stage for the wonderful main courses. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was truly great. Our wait staff was not only friendly and efficient but also incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it came to dietary needs. It was reassuring to have such well-informed staff who could confidently guide us on gluten-free options. Goofy Cafe and Dine is a gem – a place where delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, and top-notch service come together to create a memorable dining experience. We can't wait to go back!

I love their Monkey Oatmeal, Breakfast Burrito and I also tried their Ulu muffin (gluten free/ dairy free). I'll for sure will be back.

Tina kills it every time… she’s the main reason we come regularly. I love the friendly atmosphere, convenient location and the food is great. Would love to see more gluten free options on the menu though!

THANK YOU. HELLO.

The acai bowl and gluten free sandwich were very delicious. A restaurant where you can relax and enjoy a wonderful view. The staff girls are cute😘

Jenne Acevedo

Great find during our self driving tour. Large savory and sweet crepes in regular or gluten free (buckwheat flour). Both made on the same griddle though. Enjoy if you are not super sensitive. Coffee, smoothies, and more. Order at the counter, and they bring it to you. Little place, not fancy, quick service.

Bridget Stoll

A restaurant located on a pier should be able to cook fish. That was not our experience. My husband ordered the double fish burger without the bun as he is celiac. The burgers were dry. I ordered the swordfish which is served with mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots. The fish was dry. The potatoes were good and the vegetables were okay. Service was fine, not special. The saving grace was the entertainment. Nice Hawaiian music and we had a great table next to the outside wall so we had a view of the harbor.

Melanie Ruekraksa

Best Acai Bowl in town? That's absolutely true! As I already got my breakfast on the way but wifey wanted to try, I declined a waffle and just grabbed some iced coffee. As we got the Acai Bowl they surprised us with some waffles on the side! Wifey is gluten intolerant so I sacrificed myself for those heavenly waffles.. Go get there, guys! It's not the last time we went.

Joni Shimabukuro

We eat here every time we visit from the mainland (~2/yr). Lots of gluten free options (including desserts!). Owners are super sweet!

Sarah Archuleta

We really enjoyed Et Al. The service was 5/5!!! I got the Kamakua mushroom risotto and had them make it gluten free with added chicken. It was good! The chicken was definitely dry though. My boyfriend got the burger and he really liked it!! I like that it’s inside a supermarket. Really nice atmosphere and ambience, reasonable prices.

Michelle Fuhrmann

We visited this Ihop 3 days in a row. Each day we had the pleasure of Joanns company. She was absolutely amazing!! I have gluten allergies and she made sure to do everything in her power to take it safe. She also remembered mine and my husbands order after only 1 visit. I am from Canada where Ihops that are left have garbage service and food. Not here in honolulu. If we come back this will be our breakfast place. Thanks so much Joann for such an amazing breakfast experience 3 days running.

Food is good & well presented (and convenient), but the majority of the sandwiches on the board are pre-made, so if you request gluten-free bread (a reasonable +$1), they will throw away the bread from the pre-made sandwich and use the fillings. So much unnecessary food waste is disappointing, and would make me hesitant to return. That being, my egg-provolone-spinach sandwich on sprouted grain (wheat) bread was tasty and toasty, a sandwich, what. There are also açai bowls, if that’s your thing.

Crystal Johnson

Great food, friendly staff, and loved that they have gluten free options.

Calvin Parrish

The most accommodating to gluten free I've seen in Hawaii! I really enjoyed breakfast here!! My wife and I had the Gluten free avocado toast and GF waffles and the avocado toast was the best we've ever had! Great service here too!

N Sid

Fantastic service, coffee and sweets! From what I Could tell, most if not all were vegan/gluten free!The staff is extremely friendly and offered several free samples of Halva and a tea they offer. Also tried the pistachio bites, very delicious pairing with a coffee! Prices are pretty fair considering it’s Waikiki. Will return again!

SHAZ ILLYORK

Horrible spot …says farm fresh and what not ..I got the fresh turkey breast bacon cheddar on a hero …they literally gave me pre 3 slices of cold cut turkey from the package not even fresh cold cuts paid 15 dollars for that ..and got my wife’s order completely wrong after ensuring her she would get some gluten free options gave her the complete wrong order .she ordered tacos they gave her a trash burrito ..u guys suck ..looks at my pics for the bull shiizzzzz sandwich

Logan Morris

Delicious tamales and gluten free too. Lots of other options if you don’t like tamales too.
