Top 8 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in South Loop District, Bloomington

Lauryn Olson

The first time I had Hazelwood was in 2021, then I used to go regularly in 2022 and they had changed their menu, then I came back in 2023 and they had changed it again. Unfortunately, both times they had gotten rid of what we came for, but it was my favorite place so I would always try to pick something again. At this point, though, the only thing left for me is the dessert, and while it seems that’s never going away and I can’t recommend it enough, it makes me the odd one out at work meetings. I praise them for their gluten free options and their ability to make me- the biggest bread pudding lover of all time- order the banana creme pie when i’m there though. The bread pudding is splendid as well, I recommend the dessert sampler, that’s just how good the pie is.

I haven't been to ihop in many years and this experience did not disappoint. The staff are so quick and efficient and it was pretty busy on a Sunday morning. The gluten sensitive pancakes are amazing! And you can get them with different toppings. I am so thankful they now carry these. It was the reason I stopped going so many years ago. They also have turkey bacon or impossible sausage if you don't eat beef/meat.

If you have Celiac, be very careful eating here. Don't get anything fried like the fries or wings as I assume that was the culprit of me getting sick. Stick with the entrees. I told the waitress I had celiac and asked if the fries were separate and all that. Her response was it's gluten free which did not answer my questions or make me all that confident so I dont think she understood my questions. But tried it anyway and got sick. Food was tasty, but as I said just be cautious. Menu is marked GF.

I am gluten intolerant. I accidentally ordered a dish that contained gravy. The staff not only happily had me order a different dish but they were also kind enough to remove the cost of the plate! Everyone is extremely pleasant and the food and drinks are AMAZING! Special thanks to Cherish and Steph for their SPECTACULAR service.
