Top 39 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in McKinney

I cannot understand this place. We used to eat here every now and then, several years ago, though the Allen location was our favorite until it went downhill. It’s one of the few places that has gluten free toast and pancakes….which USED to be really good. Now there are more options out there and the quality of their GF is suffering. We were the first ones in the restaurant, yet everything but the corned beef hash was VERY cold! Just HOW!?!? The eggs were way overcooked. My wife has some disabilities that are worsened when having to chew cold GF toast (IYKYK). She explained this to the server, promising a huge tip for a hot, softer piece of toast. He then blabbed it loud enough to the kitchen(with attitude) for the entire restaurant to hear (more people had come in) and still brought back not as cold toast. Just because you stay busy, doesn’t mean you’re the best or that you quit trying. We spent $40 for this treatment, then went down to Chick-fil-A and had a $6 breakfast that was a million times better!! But hey, Eggsquite has good coffee…

What a wonderful hidden gem. The service is exceptional and the donuts were fresh and fantastic. The gluten free donuts taste freshly made and warm. This is a must visit donut shop!

I always need Gluten free options and this place not only provides them but the food is fantastic. I love the layout with something for the kids to do and the service is always awesome

Brian Remington

One of the best burgers around!! Also, undoubtedly the BEST gluten free bun we have found at any restaurant! Everything on the menu was very good, high quality and we will for sure be back!

Dana Repp

Busy little restaurant, so it can get a bit loud. The food is excellent, and the servers are attentive. They have gluten free options which makes it a versatile place to meet for lunch.

Great place if you have gluten allergies.

Awesome vegan and gluten free choices

I love this little cafe! This is one of the few places open as early as 7am (which is perfect for us night-shifters who get off work at 6am) AND they have gluten free pancakes and French toast on the menu! Both times we’ve been there Tyler was our server and he is so kind and so attentive. Food is excellent, service is wonderful and prices are fair. My only complaint is the smell of the cleaning products is a little strong which is disappointing in a restaurant. But we still love to eat breakfast here!

Patricia Ann Crain

Loved the food, service was great, atmosphere was very pleasant. Most of the menu was or could be prepared gluten free, and the gluten free toast with homemade jam was a real treat! Great coffee. Park in a parking garage. Highly recommend.

Hannah R

Fresh good quality coffee with a wide array of flavors, and friendly service. Amazing crepes that can be made gluten free! Strawberry matcha is always fresh and delicious. The mixed berry crepe was light and flavorful, one of the best crepes I've had.

Angela Steiner

Had a wonderful experience with the young man in the drive thru. He was very friendly and accommodating with our gluten free order! Also very speedy. Love the service and the food!

While in McKinney, I came across this coffee shop. I ordered the gluten free cinnamon pecan muffin and an almond milk latte. The latte tasted really good and the muffin was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place!

I just moved to McKinney a couple weeks ago and have been testing out different gluten friendly spots since. This place was without a doubt the best one I’ve had so far. My 8 year old sister and I both eat gluten free and our waitress Patricia was so accommodating and helpful!! Their gluten free pancakes are fantastic and so was the omelette I got. The entire meal was great, from my latte to the side of bacon. 100% a recommended spot for anyone gluten free!!

Joel Castile

I just tried Taco Ocho for the first time and it did not disappoint. The service was great. The food was great. Everything was on point. I had brisket tacos. The flavors were amazing. The house salsa was really good as well. My daughter needed gluten free options and they had a bunch. I will be coming back for sure.

Debbi Hanchett

I had gluten free pancakes with bacon and eggs. Eggs and bacon were ok. Nothing special. But the GF pancakes were very bland and tasteless. It would be great if they put some seasoning in them, maybe vanilla or ?? They were like eating glue. Husband had Denver Omelette and said it was good.

El Mejor Mexican Kitchen in McKinney delivers an authentic dining experience worthy of its name. The atmosphere buzzes with a lively spirit, matched by five-star service that makes every guest feel like family. Sipping on their house margaritas, which hit the perfect note of zest, I reveled in the gluten-free offerings—especially the Carne Asada tacos wrapped in soft corn tortillas, rich in flavor and crafted with care. Overall, El Mejor gets a glowing 5-star rating, with its culinary prowess shining through every gluten-free bite. A must-visit for anyone seeking genuine Mexican cuisine served with a generous helping of hospitality.

Marisol was so was so friendly and accommodating to my wife's gluten allergy ensuring the kitchen changed gloves to prevent cross contamination.

Melissa Radermacher

Love the Kale tonic and avocado toast on gluten free bread!

Nicole Skarke (EEgal)

We've dined in and taken out once since the location opened and both experiences have been great. The best part is, they have a dedicated chip fryer, so for my celiac family members, we have an excellent gluten free option nearby!

Food and service are always great at Italian Garden. Even the gluten-free options for pizza and pasta are amazing. This is a great neighborhood spot, and I appreciate the entire team there. Highly recommend!

Shannon Menees

food was wonderful but as my first time, i asked for a calzone with no bread because i have celiac. the younger two girls laughed at me and didn't seem to care. made me really uncomfortable due their attitude towards my condition. i tried explaining myself that i can't have gluten and they just continued to laugh and said "okay..."

Family in Faith tx

They have an amazing veggie omelette with goat cheese mushrooms and squash potatoes are perfect and they offer a tasty gluten-free toast. If you haven't come here yet, what are you waiting for!

Chantal Z

This place is wonderful. The menu is incredible, lots of gluten free options and great cocktails.

Vette Smith

Probably here 3-4 times a week! Staff and owner are always welcoming and food is the freshest and bestest. I get the avocado superseed toast on gluten-free bread, chia pudding with fruit and of course the smoothies! This is the best location out of the ones I’ve visited. 5 stars every time!!

Joe Edmonson

Excellent brunch meal. The food was great. Service, courteous and super friendly! Busy, busy with a short wait. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on the menu.

Erica Hulbert

Ogi's European Bakery and Deli is a fantastic find! My husband had the Classic Reuben on Rye with chips and a drink, and as someone with celiac, I truly appreciated their dedicated gluten-free menu. I ordered the Herb Chicken on a lettuce wrap with chips and a drink, and both meals were fresh and flavorful. The owner was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, letting me know that all their soups and salads are gluten-free. For dessert, I got a piece of Belgian Orange cake—also gluten-free—made mostly of walnuts with no artificial ingredients. It was delicious! The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every customer, whether dining in or picking up a to-go order. The atmosphere was inviting, making it a great spot for lunch. If you're looking for great food with excellent service, we highly recommend Ogi’s! We’ll definitely be back!

Good food, friendly staff, clean restaurant. They also have a good amount of gluten free options

Rich Niccolls

First of all, the 2 women who helped us were the best! We have not been treated this well in a restaurant in a long time. We were the first in for the day, and they took care of us. My wife got the Sweet Potato Hash Bowl (good gluten free option), and I got the Retro Plate. We both loved our food. Coffee, tea, and a sweet side of Cinnamon Chip biscuits. Everything was cooked well, great flavors, and 100% will be back. Loved it! And like many others have said, those Smashbrowns are some serious savory sides! They were the bomb!! Highly recommend. Just know... if it's a weekend or holiday, it will be busy and maybe loud. I've been a couple times now. Weekdays are the time to go if you can. Quiet and plenty of seating.

Suzanne Schuchardt

Awesome, welcoming staff, AND they have gluten free pancakes!

Georgina Swinfen

So disappointed with Chick-fil-A these days! It doesn't matter which one we go to their food is not gluten free anymore. Our celiac family's go to drive thru dinner is now Hat Creek. Except their milkshakes are not as good as Chick-fil-A's! Wish Gluten Free was top of the list then everyone can be included! 💔😭🙏

Nichole Walker

Love the patio! Our server was super sweet and awesome. Drinks and food tasted good. They modified to do gluten free but I wish they had a dedicated menu for gluten free
