Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Portland

Mel Griffin

Love their donuts, pizza and focaccia. Totally gluten free and delicious

Hannah Shepherd

We ended up at this bakery by accident today. I hadn’t ever sought it out before because of it being vegan, in my experience gluten free + vegan baked goods aren’t the best. Boy was a wrong, I had one of the best cinnamon rolls of my life here (including glutinous ones). The service was lovely, atmosphere was great and I will definitely be back next time I am in the area, the pie looked incredible.

Amazing gluten free baked goods

Jeannie Davis

Amazing flavors!! Got 1/2 a dozen, my absolute FAVORITE the strawberry!!! Gluten free!?? The texture reminds me of sticky rice more than a traditional donut. So very very delicious!!! I'll be back!!! It's a smaller place, not a lot of seating - I think there is more outdoor seating than inside, perfect for summer!! Service was friendly, and fast! I would highly recommend if you love pastries and are gluten free and or dairy free!! You may need to park a block away, WORTH IT!!!

Delicious brunch options!

Emilee McKelvey

Loved that we were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. After learning it was our first time eating here, our host gave us a comprehensive rundown of the menu, crowd favorites, and let us taste test each of the beverages (all of which were tasty and could easily become a fresh cocktail). They have the sampler option, with five mini tacos, or you can order them individually for $3.50+. Highlights: the horchata, the homemade corn tortillas, the barbacoa taco, the shrimp taco, and of course the fact that everything was gluten free for me to enjoy. I will definitely be a frequent regular customer!

Annie Marie

The owner makes everything in house, down the mustard and ketchup. Each item is incredibly flavorful and custom. All items are clearly labeled with allergens, and there is a dedicated GF fryer. I have celiac disease and am very sensitive, I had no problems eating here. Highly recommend trying a mix of everything by way of the sides! Hands down best GF meal we’ve had out in Portland!

Ashley Grunwald

Absolutely amazing food! The burger was awesome the fries were on point. The chicken tenders were a little over cooked but lots of variety for gluten free options. The Marionberry lemonade is on point! I will definitely be back. Delicious food and great service! They even have an outdoor eating area.

Discovered this place on Tik Tok by a previous guest. Placed this on my must do - to do list to come to when adventuring on my 10 day Oregon roadtrip. Very hard to find places that are “true healthy” restaurants when traveling. Stopped in solo 5-30-25 post breakfast hours but before lunch. Was greeted by Cash - SO NICE, great personality!!!! suggestions were made but ultimately I decided to have the Vegan “tuna” chickpea salad sandwich. I had already had breakfast but wanted a light lunch before going hiking. (Had kitchen cut in half for me to take remainder on my hike). Loved the bread (almost sure and hoping it was gluten free) that was toasted lightly but not so hard it was like a crouton. The side soup was a vegetable type soup. Wow! Seasonings were on point with the sandwich and the soup. Bathroom was clean. ONLY THING that had me sad was no souvenir sticker. I travel all over the US frequently and enjoy collecting stickers. I don’t need cups, shirts when traveling. Please consider getting stickers. If I ever come back to Portland area. Hands down you will have a repeat customer coming back. Thank you!!

We went with Verde Cocina as the caterers for our wedding and could not be more pleased with the decision. Literally everyone came up to us to rave above the food. Having the EVO grill there made for a fun addition to the reception and also really made people feel like they were getting the most fresh high quality food. The cocktails were grabbed up almost immediately. Our only regret there was not buying more cocktails. The first bite of crab cake we got after hours of photo taking and wedding stuff will go down as a top 5 bite of food i've ever had. the sentiments were shared by many. Verde Cocina being a gluten-free restaurant and being very sensitive/aware of dietary restrictions was such a massive relief for us and for guests. Arro(in charge of the catering) was so quick with communication, extremely personable, and made the menu selection process a real joy. He's also just a nice guy, by the time we'd actually gotten married he was so excited to say congrats. Probably more that could be said, but I would just say if you are still looking for a catering option, just contact them. It will be worth exploring.

Excellent celiac-safe food!

Tara Severson

My favorite booth at the Salem Saturday Market. Gluten-free AND vegan AND delicious. Everything is good but the loaded cookie is my favorite.

The only unpleasant thing was bumping into someone when I got up from the table to use the restroom. The area is small and my booty is not. The food was AMAZING! Especially if you are gluten free. How do they get the cardamom french toast so thick? And the flavors *mwah.* I also tried the gluten free eggs Benny and it was very tasty too. Apparently there are yummy gluten free biscuits out there folks, and this is where they are hiding! Also the location is cool too because there are 2 vintage stores right next door basically. All the staff was very friendly too =^.^=

The Beet Rueben, The Walnut Chorizo Quesadilla, The Utopia Dream Salad, The Gilt smoothie, Garden Scramble…Love this place! And I feel safe coming here with my Celiac Disease which is huge.

Lois K

Not my 1st time BUT stayed till l8 2 play TRIVIA w my friend and her hubby! My friend LOVED LOVED LOVED the gluten free choices and the Gluten Free Beer!

Andrea Levy

Very busy, in a slightly crowded space, my friend and I waited about 20 minutes for a table. She had the egg scramble and I had a breakfast sandwich. Sides of potatoes were good and grits excellent. My sandwich was decent, with some nice flavors, should have gotten the bacon. The scramble was huge and full of veggies. Waiter was very nice and helpful dealing with my friend's gluten issues. This wasn't my 1st time here, but 1st in a while.

Any place that sells gluten free pancakes is a good place for me. The ambience and rest of food was very nice too. The seasoned tofu was good, but a little too salty for me.

Melanie Sullivan

May 31, 2025 at about 1pm My daughter had the margherita pizza and I had the tutto bianco with gluten-free crust and both were delicious.

C Bulotti

This restaurant has been around forever. My first encounter eating at a Pig 'N Pancake was at the beach. I had the gluten free pancakes and an omelet. They have the best fluffy browned pancakes I have ever had in my life. Coming back home I saw that we have this restaurant close to home! They are open for breakfast and lunch. 7:30-2:30pm. They offer tables, booths and counter seating. Just like an old fashion diner. The waitresses are nice and knowledgeable and quick with the water or coffee refills. The prices are good. And of course they have pigs in the window sills! I recommend this restaurant for a good old fashioned meal.

Cyrus Buhariwalla

Great gluten free sandwich.

Stephanie Buckley

This place is cool, especially for kids and aspiring artists. You make your own pancakes on a flattop that’s at each table. It’s the Korean BBQ of breakfast places. Their gluten free batter is excellent. I got the grand slam and their unlimited drip coffee. The staff is very friendly and the manager/owner that I’ve seen there works hard to make sure everything is perfect.

Jon DeVries

Crazy good selection, love this place. The Uber mochi donuts are killing, and gluten free. And so cheap! Such a good deal

Amy Peters

To have such a great breakfast place that is Gluten Free. Amazing!! We stop everytime we are in town.

Mark Loehr

Absolutely awesome!! Personally living gluten free is difficult to find safe, good food. Verde Cocina delivered. I LOVE Mexican food, but worry about flour cross contamination. Not Here! The food was fresh, hot, tasty and service was spot on perfect. I am now a new regular! Thanks!

Michael Guss

The service was great but the food wasn't as good as I remembered. The fries were somewhat cold, the gluten free bun seemed stale, and the original order was wrong. It's still better than McDonald's but for the price I'd rather go to Shake Shack.

Eli Robinson

Phenomenal food and service. All vegan options with consideration for those who need gluten food as well. A perfect place to satisfy that 'diner' itch without the ambient sausage/bacon stank

Aria

Absolutely delicious!! Like wow what a damn delight! So fresh and so good, wish I could eat here every day. Gluten free and dairy free for the sensitive tummies. The food tastes soooo good and at prices the average folk can afford, really a unicorn of a combination. Cute and welcoming space that has room and enthusiasm for children, amazing chef busting butt in a hot kitchen, menu has apps and meals so you can get a little or a lot. Opted for the queso and hoooboy it was perfection, just a little heat with flavor that makes you say “I can’t believe it’s vegan!”

Alissa Fant

I found this place from tiktok, and I was SO EXCITED to try it. I literally dragged my partner the next morning to get it. The food is SO delicious. It's like a better quality mcgriddle. I asked if the pancakes could be gluten free, and I got the implication everything was gluten free, but not 100% sure, so if you're celiac, double check. The wait was a little long and the parking is a little sketchy. The owner (?) was a little quiet and stone faced (but also FOIIINE). I would absolutely come here again, it's just a little far for me.

Robin Beal

I am allergic to wheat and I had the best gluten-free pancakes ever. Paid special attention not to get them cross contaminated with the others.

Colin Mosgrove

Holy shit. Service - amazing. Atmosphere - so warm, inviting, and community oriented. THE FOOD? Blew my mind. The GLUTEN FREE BAKLAVA? I transcended the boundaries of my physical body when I took my first bite. I am now changed forever

Jillian Bernoski

I was skeptical because I thought this would be asian cuisine (I'm sometimes intimidated by asian ingredients and sauces) but it turned out to be the same food I am used to, just with a subtle twist. I was unsure about the "Yumm sauce" even after the nice employee described it to be so he gave me a sample. It was great! It reminds me of a subtle tangy sauce, like tomatillo without the spice. The other ingredients were exactly what was detailed on the menu, and were very fresh. The flavors came together deliciously! In addition, there are many gluten free options and what the celiac in our party ordered did not cause her to get sick.

Lana Ferris

The crepes are delicious and have been very safe for me even as someone who is a very sensitive celiac.

Jaime Loren

Great pies, and selection. Okay selection of gluten free. The smores and peanut butter chocolate pies were amazing.

Eric Parks

Nestled in the first floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Portland, this very active hub has a lot to live up to. Serving great food and spirits with quality one would expect at much higher end establishments. It's very active and lively, so not the best option for a quiet experience, but fantastic if you want some of the highest quality for a surprisingly low cost. I ordered the frittata with potatoes, that came with a choice of toast. I requested gluten free bread, a side of sausage, and an Irish pick me up, (Irish coffee with an extra kick of espresso). All of which exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'm sure you will be too. However, expect a short wait as I'm not the only one that feels so highly of this spot.

Emily W

Cute little vegan spot. Love they clearly list what is gluten free & soy free! I ordered the golden dragon curry which was a nice portion size for the price and tasted lovely.

K M

Super friendly and cute place. Gluten friendly but NOT Celiac friendly. I got sick off of it but mostly cross contamination. Good food and great atmosphere otherwise!

Kim Grist

What a great experience. Family of six and we were all so well taken care of. I have severe dairy and gluten allergies and they checked and double checked any of my food choices. They were friendly m, considerate and very attentive to our entire family.

Sarah Smith

EDIT / UPDATE: The general manager reached out to me immediately to figure out what happened, which I really appreciated. We figured out that their online POS system had a flaw that made effective order communication difficult (specifically when editing an order before checking out). They are diligently looking into the issue to get it resolved, and offered to refund me the amount for the item I ordered that came as a burrito instead of a bowl. My experience now has been improved drastically thanks to their commitment to improvement and customer satisfaction. Thank you again for resolving this so quickly and effectively, JoLa! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I want to give this place a higher rating but I’m a little frustrated with their online ordering experience. I did my best to pick certain options when editing each item in the online ordering section, but some of my choices apparently did not save correctly (as my receipt reflects a different choice than I actually made — and I triple checked my choices). For example, I asked for one of the items as a bowl instead of a burrito (which is an option they offer). In the receipt though, it says I chose a burrito. I even wrote a note in the “note to restaurant” section when ordering to ensure that it went through correctly (I wrote to them that I chose this particular dish as a bowl, not a burrito, as I try to limit my gluten intake otherwise I get sick). I also chose to add sausage and I got bacon. So while it seems that their online ordering platform may be to blame, I did preface my preference for the bowl versus burrito and it shows up on the receipt, yet they neglected to pay attention to it. It’s disappointing. The food is good though. I’d give that 4 stars. Would love for this to be resolved.

Just grateful that if you have issues with gluten or dairy (or in my case, both) but need something on the go you can actually get a burger (with cheese, just sub for their Vegan Pepperjack), fries AND a vegan shake (with WHIP if you feelin' fancy) 👏 (Heads up though, its gonna cost ya, so just hang onto your panties the first time you hear the total.) The staff is also always really cool about the substitutions and I'm grateful they have never once made me feel like the total pain the behind, even though I'm sure it probably is. So kudos to Burgerville for having enough options on the menu to cater to a pretty broad number of food issues, and the staff to provide it in a friendly way. I've also had very few issues with errors, which happens a lot elsewhere.

Merry “Merrycyclist”

Very Casual tasty food in a bustling family friendly cafe. Plenty of seating and lots of gluten-free options.

Heather

I got the gluten free BLT this evening, and it was so good! No extra charge for the GF option either. Can't wait to go back and try different sandwiches.

w

This place has it all! Abundant coffee choices, so many delicious pastry and cookie choices including gluten free, seating for groups and singles, adorable atmosphere, convenient location, friendly baristas!

Hunter Bronson

Excellent breakfast spot with great vegan and gluten free options!

James Lee

The best readily accessible fast food around. Especially if you’re gluten free.

Jeff E

A must stop for people with celiac or gluten intolerance. Tons of fantastic gluten-free options.

juliet sutherland

Outstanding. The food, the drinks, the service- all excellent. There are so many great restaurants in Portland, this one stands out. I have celiac, I felt so taken care of. Friends of ours introduced us to Lechon today, we will go back.

Tyler Sakura

Fast friendly service with good food and coffee. They also have a number of gluten free options.
