Top 15 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Midtown, Sacramento

Dominique Martin

I cannot praise them enough!! It is such a relief to know that everything is gluten free but also soooooo delicious!! I love the music and ambiance as well. It is always an amazing meal, even before my gluten issues I would have come here all of the time if I knew. Also... The donut holes will change your life, and the coffee is out of this world! Just try it already lol

I come here on Mondays when my gluten free friend comes to Sac & most of the fav gf restaurants are closed. Some of the gf macaroni & cheese dishes are great & served hot in a cast iron dish. Some macs are not great & served in a regular dish that arrived cold, back to oven for 5 mins, came back cold & in a fresh, cold dish. Nice salads. Seems like seasonal dishes? Really expensive for what is served. Nice staff. Clean, cool place.

I can not share this place enough. If you have ever gone, you know what I mean. They are friendly, they are fun the food is fabulous. They even accommodate my gluten-free dietary need.... They are a small midtown location with a line out the door...that is so worth the wait. The prices are decent as well. This place hands down the best place to go to anyway of the week.

The Morning Fork is a charming breakfast staple in Sacramento's Midtown. It’s got that cozy retro diner energy with just enough elbow room for groups, booth huggers, and solo counter folks alike. It’s always poppin’—especially on weekends—but honestly, it slaps. Worth every minute in line. The menu? A comfort food glow-up. They take your classic brekkie faves and zhuzh them just enough to keep things interesting without turning brunch into a science experiment. The Salsa Omelette? 10/10. But don’t let that stop you from getting down with their French toast too. No one’s judging. 🍳🍞 They’ve got options for your plant-based besties, gluten-free queens, and anyone who just wants bubbles with their breakfast. 🥂 The price point hits that sweet spot too—big portions without the big regret. My $14 Salsa Omelette could’ve been two meals… if I had self-control. (I don’t.) How I break down my ⭐️ reviews: 1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥

The Porch has some really great gluten free options! The shrimp and grits are my favorite Yummy cocktails as well!

My family and I love the ambience of this place so we have given it a thorough trial. We have visited a total of 3 times. The first time was for my birthday dinner in which the power unexpectedly went out and they had us pay and excused us from the restaurant. It sucked, but they told us to return. We returned for my Mom’s birthday in 2023 and my father got a dry chicken dish. We finally did brunch this past Saturday with a friend and my husband. Flavors were awesome but technique was lacking. The eggs on both dishes (Benedict and avocado toast) were under poached - runny and translucent whites kind of under poached. When my Mom asked for it to be recooked, the server asked my Mom if she was looking for a medium poach. Unfortunately my Mom was just looking for the eggs to be standard poached. They went ahead and removed it from the bill which was considerate. The almond cake sounded so yummy and flavor was excellent, but almond cake is notorious for being a moist gluten free treat. This one was oddly dry and mealy. The lemon ricotta pancakes, although not notorious for being overly sweet, weren’t sweet at all. I’m sorry to say we likely won’t be back. Beautiful place and lovely staff if that’s what you’re looking for! Perhaps we have just had bad luck with them.

Alaro: the backup plan that delivered. We rolled in last minute, no reservation, no plan—wine in hand from our first-choice spot. I hadn’t even done my usual vegetarian menu sleuthing. Honestly? I expected to settle. But surprise surprise, this place delivered. The menu has range. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, meat-lovers—everyone’s invited and no one’s stuck with a sad side salad. We love an inclusive queen. Didn’t try the beer because, again, wine. But the food? Came in hot. It’s refined pub classics with a little tapas flair. Fried pickles. Onion dip. A grilled cheese that was crispy, golden, and somehow not a grease bomb. Add the grilled onions. Seriously. Just do it. There’s a freshness here that a lot of places in this category miss. It doesn’t feel heavy or overdone—it feels like someone in the kitchen actually cares. The service? Super friendly and clearly knew the menu. But yes, we had to ask for flatware. Multiple times. Which, when your food’s already on the table? A little chaotic. Still—flavor wins. The vibe’s solid. I came in with low expectations and left thinking about what I want to try next. Next time, I’m showing up with an appetite... and my own fork. Just in case. 🥄✨ How I break down my star reviews: 1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥
