Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Arlington

Maria Bliznetsova

One of my absolute favourite to go places for breakfast/lunch! I tried almost everything on the menu and quality of food is excellent! Everyone can find something, they have vegan and gluten free options too. But for me, Huevos Rancheros, Summer Cod, Cobb Salad and peach pie are top choices! New location in Arlington also has a big garage parking and easy access as well.

Favorite lunch spot for bbq. Great gluten free menu and service has always been good.

Visiting from NYC. A great vegetarian/vegan/gluten free option place. It’s a Black owned business that promotes books and creative arts. We started off with Brussel sprouts with Balsamic vinaigrette. It was hot and had a good taste. The latte (not pictured) was very flavorful. Gluten free pancakes had a buttermilk flavor to them but a little stiff. I had the Sweet Potato hash and it was ok, a little stiff bland for me. I would recommend this place and come back on my visit.

Fantastic Fish. I had gluten-free breaded fish that was lighter and better than any breaded fish i have ever had. My wife has celiac and was able to have a great meal that was gluten-free and safe from cross-contamination.

I got the lamb hash but gluten free and it was so warm and comforting. Amazing gluten free options, quick service and great options. There might be a line to order but moves pretty quickly!

Iykyk. And if you don’t, read this: colony grill is a sports bar that serves pizza and beer and pretty much nothing else, because what else do you really need anyway? It’s a chain that expanded out of CT and that’s just how it be. The pizza is thin crust “bar pie” style, i.e., you eat it sitting at the bar with a slice in one hand and a beer in the other - it’s light, chewy and foldable, but not floppy NY-style. Ask for the pie well done if you want it crunchy for dine-in, or half baked if you’re taking it home so you can finish it in your own oven. Do get hot oil on your pie. Don’t get too many other toppings; crust is thin and this is not meant to be a loaded/supreme situation. Plus thats how you’d make your meal expensive real quick. Service at this location is friendly and attentive. Vegan and gluten free options available.

Really friendly staff. Spectacular food. Everything was fantastic. Recommend the turmeric ginger juice. Roast beef debris was heavenly. Gluten free options Clean place. Full bar.

Cassidy Southern

Cozy atmosphere with great food and service. I was excited to see they had a lot of dairy-free and gluten-free options! Seating is a little chaotic so be prepared to be flexible. Great as a working space, too.

I found Istanbul Grill on Find Me Gluten Free, as I have celiac disease and am very sensitive to gluten, wheat, etc. I am so glad I found this place! The menu was marked clearly for gluten free and they had countless options for those with dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, etc.) Now, to the best part: the FOOD! We had hummus (with GF bread), the lamb adona kebab, doner kabob, Turkish tea and coffee - it was all fabulous. For the amount of food you got, my partner and I also thought the prices were reasonable. I didn’t come close to finishing my plate, which is sad because it was so delicious. The service was nice and the restaurant was very clean. I will be back here time and time again.

I was craving a gluten free brownie to stress eat, and wanted to try something new, so I decided to order one from here. I’ve had much better brownies from small regional airports in Queensland (basically an Australian TexasFlorida) than what I had at Bakeshop. The brownie here was unfortunately dry and had a strange aftertaste. Weak. Maybe their other stuff is better, but they don’t offer anything else that’s labeled as gluten free.

Megan Finch

We have ordered so many times and everything has been perfect…this time: not so much. I noted that I have a gluten allergy (like I always do), and one of my tacos was put on a pita (this has never happened before). I called because we got our order thru Uber Eats, and instead of helping me I was put on hold for 20 minutes and then hung up on. Not acceptable.

Yasir Ahmad Khan

Great place if you need a gluten free grilled chicken sandwich. Highly recommend!

Logan Witham

The food was so delicious!! They had Gluten free options and they were able to accommodate me. They have so many options for people!! Just a great place to eat!

Trina Kincey

Delicious, juicy burgers our whole family enjoyed! We were especially happy they offered a gluten free bun for my daughter who needs GF options. Definitely recommend!

Rob Wilcox

Food was great and they have Gluten free options. The staff was a big help and the drinks were cold.

Nonya Bisnus

The gluten free scones are also decent

Lilah Dottori

From the minute we walked in to the restaurant Chanel took amazing care of us. I have celiac disease and Chanel was very accommodating to my dietary restriction. She even went out of her way to bring me a side of veggies when she brought out the table bread. Our meals were all done perfectly and we enjoyed our experience very much!

Madison Manuel

Love this restaurant!!! Excellent food and margaritas. Sit on the rooftop! Bryan was such an amazing server with a lively energy!! I have a gluten allergy and he checked everything with the kitchen staff, even when the food was put down and made me feel assured that it was safe to eat. Such a great atmosphere and cannot wait to come back for brunch!

Jena Van

I was confused by the concept of this place. It would have been nice if the server was there to explain since he asked if it was our first time, but it was under staffed and he left quickly after asking us our steak preference. I did not like the salad, as it was limp and over dressed. I thought the steak was mid. The fries were good because they were fresh but I personally did not like the gravy at all. I liked the safety this place had to offer in terms of gluten free food. Otherwise I didn't have a good experience.

Very nice place, with a great Art Deco dinner vibe. There were options for gluten sensitive, and the dessert was amazing!

Edit from my previous review, One of the managers reached out to me this morning and was very proactive in terms of making sure the the menu items properly reflect what are actually gluten free. Be careful using third party apps if you have food restrictions. The food here is great. As someone with dietary restrictions, it's really important to be able to find restaurants that care and have good food that is safe to eat. The salmon tacos are my favorite! The lamb tacos are also very good. Both are gluten free and full of flavor. The ingredients also taste fresh! which really make up a good taco.

Loved my Vegetarian, Bánh Mì Sandwhich on the most delicious Gluten Free bread. Also---seseme sticks inside of the sandwhich, just wow.

Irene Walshe

Good american restaurant with something for everyone to eat, from burgers, sandwiches, beef, pasta, salads to more fancy dishes. I love the chinese chopped salad, but always ask for more dressing. Do not forget to try their famous cheesecakes. My choice is the Gluten free chocolate mousse Godiva cheesecake. I love coming here when I have a group that have not made up their mind on what to eat. The menu is extensive. The bread basket is nice, but unfortunately they don't have Gluten free bread. Nice atmosphere.

Nice, upscale italian restaurant with great atmosphere. Excellent menu, from appetizers to pizza, fish, pasta, desserts and cocktails. They have Gluten free pasta. The service was a bit slow on a Thursday night, with only 4 tables, it took 1 hour to get our pasta, but it was worth it!

Sahithi Buddula

This place and the staff are awesome! We got the gluten free strawberry banana crepe and it was so so delicious and refreshing. The owner is so nice! Highly recommend:)

Irene Walshe

A nice american restaurant with a good selection of burgers, sandwiches, fish, salads, flat breads, chicken wings, steak, etc. Good wine list and beers. They have a Gluten Sensitive menu. Good service and reasonable prices.

Irene Walshe

Informal coffe/breakfast restaurant with a New Orleans flare. They have only 2 items Gluten free to pair with the coffee : apple muffin and brownie, both very nice. Brunch is very popular and prices are fair. It has an old New Orleans feeling, funky and old, but charming ;)

One of my favorite go to spots, most of their dishes are tasty, you can’t go wrong. They have gluten free options, just make sure you tell them. The service is friendly and fast. I typically get the chicken or shrimp pad Thai which are solid choices. The shrimps are large and fresh. I’ve also eaten the green and Penang curry as well as their drunken noodle and pineapple fried rice. I order take out more but the handful of times I’ve gone in the restaurant it has been clean and fast service.

My girlfriend and I were visiting DC for a wedding and we tried this place twice now and both times we were extremely blown away by just how awesome this place is. The staff is super friendly, the coffee and food is really good and what’s even better is they had gluten free options for my girlfriend. I had their breakfast sandwich and their honey dipped glazed doughnut which was SO GOOD. I’m really jealous we don’t have places like this in Florida where we live. I highly recommend this place if you want good coffee or pastries!

Eric Hoppis

Is a great pastry place. Please do not expect a lot of dairy free options. They do offer gluten free items. The only dairy free items they have is marzipan,and their marzipan is amazing.

Lisa Mullett

Consistently good food and has gluten free options.

Diana Howerton

Great experience, loved the gluten free pasta. Super chill vibe, good staff

raquel wilkins

Great for breakfast and dinner. I created my own omelette with spinach and Swiss. Everything was super fresh including the hash browns. They also have vegetarian and gluten free options. I had the gluten free sweet potato raviolis with quinoa. It was delightful.

Anna Sullivan

Essence and Daisy are so helpful and kind- my spouse has a lot of medical food restrictions, and this is one of the only places we can go out to eat safely. Every staff member is patient, knowledgeable, and wonderful at what they do. <3 (As of 11/6/25, they have gluten-free bread without potato starch or other nightshades.)

Irene Walshe

A nice mexican restaurant conveniently situated just next to C28 gate, at the Reagan airport. I had the burger gluten free (no bread), and chips and salsa. Great taste.

Jessica Martin

Definitely a hidden gem of a place, with a great atmosphere for sitting and chilling with friends. Servers are kind and attentive-you can tell they love working there. The food is good too, especially the fish & chips, onion rings and sausage rolls. My friend said the house beer was good too, and the Irish coffee was wonderful! There are definitely options for natural gluten-free foods, like burgers without buns and salads and nachos, but nothing is noted as GF on the menu. I’m sure the servers would be happy to answer questions though if you ask though. Definitely plan to be back!

Olivia Brown

Quality service and a tasty meal. I especially loved the “Floating Island” dessert. I am gluten free and they were very accommodating. They had a delicious French onion soup (that they take the crouton out) and gluten free dessert options.

Celeste Alexandra

We ordered cookies, brownies, and scones for a church Christmas event. They were so delicious and everyone was raving about them! They have the most amazing gluten free scones that even non GF people tried and thought were fantastic. It was such a pleasure working with Village Sweet! We were delighted with everything!

Caroline Smith

I attended the Cherry Blossom Tea this weekend with five friends, and it was pretty nice! Two people in our party had strict dietary restrictions (gluten free and dairy free), and they were perfectly accommodated. I do agree with what a few others have said about the service taking a while (our seating was at 2:30 and we didn’t finish until 4:30, making us a little late for a 4:45 event we were all going to). The tea was lovely though and the desserts + tea sandwiches were surprisingly filling! Not to mention the complementary mimosas were an added bonus. The price was a little high at $110 per person, but I guess it is the Ritz. We had purposefully picked this tea experience because it was supposed to be a little bit less compared to some other cherry blossom teas in the DMV, but it ended up being about the same. The restaurant was also a little bit loud, but overall it was a pretty good experience I’d recommend, especially if you have friends with dietary restrictions.

Matt was an amazing server! I have serious gluten/dairy allergies and he brought out the chef to provide safe options. The food is absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere is as well. Highly recommend this place!

Jessica Martin

A solid choice for Terminal A eating at DCA. They have breakfast options too, eggs were cooked to order, with a couple meat options and breakfast potatoes which weren’t covered in any flour or anything, so naturally gluten free. The workers were kind and patient as well, which is always appreciated in an airport setting. Price is as expected for airport food.

This place advertises itself as gluten-free, but it appears to be mostly a buzz word then a real thing. Staff has no idea what items on the menu are gluten-free (the menus aren't marked either). The only thing I could eat there (I'm gluten, soy and grain-free) is their only salad. Unfortunately I had to eat the salad without the dressing (the only dressing they offer) because it had a bunch of junk ingredients. Not gluten-free either. So much for a "healthy joint".... If it wasn't for the friendly guy at the register (who was convinced that feta cheese is full of gluten :)), I'd only give it one star.
