Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Jacksonville

Laura Lee Adams

I'm not a big chain restaurant fan, however, True Food kitchen is an exception. It really is whole food. I appreciate that there are several vegan and gluten-free options. The butternut squash soup and the hot tulsi ginger and tea are somethings I always look forward to.

Super helpful and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and celiac cross contamination. Our family member with celiac showed no issues after having their "magic waffle." Almond flour was a concern as well and they let us know their GF flour is rice based and vegan. They said they are proud of their GF blend and we agree that they should be. To go above and beyond for service, they asked when we would consume the waffles to know how much to cool them down and keep them from getting soggy. Its hard to find places so accommodating and polite, this is a gem you dont want to miss if you are GF or just craving a good waffle.

Wings were a little under done but the pizza was right on. My wife has celiac disease and they offer a gluten free pizza as well. Nice job V Pizza! We love it!

I have reviewed this exact location before and gave it five stars but I need to update it. It’s only worth three. Food wasn’t nearly half as good as it was last time. The sausage was dried out. The pancakes were average. I got the peach ones that were on special this month. My wife had gluten pre-pancakes, which were OK for gluten-free. Let’s be real here. But the waiter was rude. He was normally rude to us. He was rude to other people and they may be shortstaffed, but there’s no excuse to treat people like that. They need to be knocked down a notch accordingly.

Such a great find! They had amazing gluten free doughnuts, the matcha and chai were superb and the staff couldn't have been sweeter.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arepa is a great spot, especially if you’re looking for gluten-free options! The place has a nice, cozy vibe and it was super quick to get seated, which was a pleasant surprise. The food took a little while, but it was definitely worth the wait — everything was fresh and delicious. The service was okay-ish. The host or waiter didn’t check up on us at all during the meal, but he was friendly when we left. My partner thanked him and said everything was delicious, and he appreciated that. He also knew a bit about gluten-free needs and recommended a celiac-friendly arepa for my partner, which was super helpful. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I have a gluten intolerance and I was pleased with the options at Maggiano’s. Noah was our server and he did an outstanding job taking care of us. The chef came over to our table to answer any questions about my food options. My husband and I enjoyed our meal.

O what an incredible meal we had at Cooper's Hawk! I'd seen a few people mention it in a local fb group and decided to take hubby for his birthday. He often eats gf to keep me safe and we had so many options! They mentioned they just overhauled their gluten-free procedures not long ago and I felt very confident in all of our meal. Everything is made from scratch. Started with a warm gf roll and butter Appetizer: Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Hubby's Plate: Blue Cheese Burger w/ Fries My Plate: Cilantro Ranch Chicken Sandwich w/ Fries Dessert: Truffles (as a birthday gift from Cooper's Hawk) The bacon wrapped shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal as the taste was one that just lingered. I mean fabulous. Just an incredible meal with great service and I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. Also loved our server Christine.

Great views of the water, the fried shrimp and cod were great and the halibut and salmon were perfect. Knowledgeable staff for food allergies. A family member has Celiac and our server talked through cross contamination and ingredient concerns. The gluten free fried batter is one of the best we have had. Above and beyond service: my toddler dropped a toy and a staff member picked it up before I could see where it went.

Destiny Dykeman

Our waitress Kate was absolutely incredible! She was very knowledgeable about the gluten-free options and the kitchen procedures to make sure the food was celiac safe. She was also very kind and the service was amazing!

Roger Hargrove

Great pizza. Hannah was excellent! Had gluten free option for one of our family members!

Cory Crawford

Found a regular noodle in my gluten free noodles. Other than that, the food is spectacular.

I cant believe it has taken me two weeks to post a review but OMG. B, had done an amazing job on my order! I am a celiac and find it hard finding a place that serves gluten free dishes. When I went i was a little disappointed in how little options there were for a GF menu, but i ordered the cheesy grits with the quinoa chicken pesto with an over easy egg and it blew my mind! B, i cant thank you enough for my breakfast! it really made my morning and definitely made me happy. totally changed my mood from okay to great. the grits were perfect. cooked rich to a soft texture that made me warm with every bite. And the salad?! mixed with the over easy egg, holy sh## i wanted at least another 3 plates. Im really not overexaggerating. when its good its good. and the fall coffee, mint mocha, amazing! B, if you see this, Thank you soooo much! I will definitely be back again. And to see such a happy fella made me feel just as happy. Great guy. First Watch is always going to be first on my mind when i think of where to eat on the go. Pun intended. B, Thank you again!!!

Abby Landreth

Charles is amazing!!! He took care of my allergies as well as my mother’s(gluten&dairy)! He is upbeat and was always super happy when he checked on us!! Woo! Thank you so much!! Also, the chips are gluten safe!

Every time we come here (a lot) we have a wonderful experience. Sean, the manager, goes above and beyond to make sure things are great. The bartenders are quick, the pizza is ALWAYS delicious, and they are very accommodating for gluten free/celiac needs. V Pizza makes our favorite gluten free pie in the area by a wide margin. My wife and I just returned from Italy and as much pie as we had out there, we for home and said “man we need to go get V Pizza”. 10 stars, highly recommend!!!

Caroline Clements

Very happy to have stumbled upon this gem. We visited after the GA FL Game & were sat immediately after given options for different tables. We ordered and our drinks and food were brought out quickly and fresh. I have celiac (non-reactive) and had a fantastic gluten free pizza. I got the Laura and it was delicious. Others in my party got a meat lovers pizza & sandwiches and all were great. We were checked on frequently and offered to go drinks. All around fantastic & we hope to be back next year.

Kylie Straube

Had an amazing time! Isac and Lyndsey were amazing, they even have GLUTEN-FREE options which I love!!!

Chevonne H

LOVED this place! The gluten free pasta AND chicken parm was so delicious! My friend and I also loved Sean at the bar! A great night out!

Melissa Davis

Excellent meal as always. Very accommodating towards gluten free. Our waiter was wonderful. Helped my mom pick out the perfect sandwich. Plenty of meat on our sandwiches, too. We had a corner table, nice and clean. Love the bakery selection l and vintage candies. Always a great time here.

Izzie Titberidze

The food was incredibly delicious. I'm gluten-free, so I got a potato bowl. You can build your own breakfast and add whatever you'd like. They do not have gluten-free bread on the menu, but their bowls were much better than a sandwich. Coffee was delicious, too.

Brian Walsh

They have the best eggs Benedict around! Everything I've tried is amazing. I was shocked that I think I liked their gluten free pancakes better than their regular ones!

First off, always exceptional service, no matter who is running the register. They seem excited to be at work, happy to share their knowledge of the menu and work hard to make sure exactly what you want. Parking can be an issue, so if you’re meeting someone you may want to show up a little early because there will be parking, but it may not be right in front or behind the storefront. Don’t let that scare you, there is plenty of parking in that area, just not in front of The King. But you really want to know about the food: Plantains – really good but a very small portion for an appetizer but the sauce with it is AMAZING. Fried Cheese - bigger portion but served with the same amazing sauce. Rice bowl - rice bowls are similar to the sandwiches, just without the bread. So if you’re gluten-free, rice bowls are a good option. Pork sandwich - this is what they do best, juicy marinated pork, serve with pickled onions, and fresh bread is an absolute fantastic sandwich. I don’t know why I don’t head over to Chancho King more, well I do know because it is not near my work anymore. When I have time and don’t mind driving a little bit, The King is where to go

Prices are a bit high but they had a gluten-free menu. My dad says crab cakes had way too much breading and he could not taste the crab at all.

Sara Vaughn

Delicious food. There are tons of gluten free choices. I got a chimichurri steak bowl and everything in it was so flavorful. I’ll definitely be back!

Blue Dulac

I fell in love with both the neighborhood and the restaurant. Their food is so good, and I can order almost anything I like due to the gluten free friendly substitutions. Instead of breaded chickun they grilled my soy curls unbreaded, substituted their house patty that has gluten for a Beyond burger, and served me both on GF buns. I was ecstatic!!! A restaurant where I can enjoy Plant-Based Comfort Food, then enjoy the fantastic nearby shops (I’ll share in upcoming posts) is everything my heart desires. 🥰 FYI: I caution anyone with Celiac’s disease that cross contamination is possible, and the fryer/grill are shared. Gluten Free Fried Pickles: This was the #1 reason I wanted to eat here. Yes, their menu is amazing, but I wasn’t sure I could enjoy much even with a gluten free bun as an option. However, fried pickles have long been a favorite that I haven’t enjoyed in almost a decade, and this is the first restaurant I’ve seen that has them. They were so good, I would order them, even if they didn’t have anything else I could eat. But, thankfully, they do! I had these as a side for the Buffalo Ranch Chickun, specifically prepared to be gluten friendly, per my request. It was absolutely delicious, and I cannot wait to eat it again! I'm also looking forward to another Black Cherry Tarragon Stubborn Soda because it was delicious. Murray Hillbilly has a laid-back atmosphere with books to read and games to play while you wait for your food. There’s even a small assortment of items to buy including t-shirts, hand-crafted hats, and a variety of eco-friendly items. I had to try on the crochet hats. They were absolutely adorable, and for those who don’t know I used to not be able to wear hats because I had too much hair. 😆 I loved that each one was different not just in color but in style, and it was neat to see how they each looked on me. Perhaps next time I’ll leave with one.

The food and service is absolutely amazing here!!! Today our server John, was a delight and made sure we had everything we could possibly need (and more) at all times. I got the lamb and it was absolutely amazing 😍 The Tuna Tar Tar starter is so fresh and delicious! (as well as everything on the menu) My hubby and MIL got the cedar planked salmon and loved it! They are also great at accommodating with allergy’s— I knew I didn’t need to worry with my gluten intolerance. This is our second time and we definitely will be back again!!

Diana Ramos

Was able to get a gluten-free dairy free pizza that was really good. Great service, nice vibe.

LORI

Never disappoints. Fabulous food. I cannot do gluten and it was no problem. They even have a separate gf fryer. Highly recommend!!

We stopped by another Broken Egg Café on a whim one morning. My gluten-free pancakes were very light and fluffy; I would definitely order those again. The sausage and eggs were also very tasty. However, the city grits were quite loose and more watery than I expected, so I probably wouldn’t choose those again. We also tried the spiked coffee, which was a bit strong; I think a little less alcohol would have improved it, as it was barely drinkable. We mentioned this to the waitress, and she noted that she tends to pour heavily, so if you enjoy a stronger drink, the spiked coffee might be for you. All in all, it was a good breakfast for a quick bite.

Ellen B

I had a good experience today. I did not eat the gluten free toast as it contains dextrose which can give me a bad headache.

Danelle Shoemaker

I came to eat with my granddaughter. I asked about Gluten Free options and the cashier said, “Well, we have a gluten free bun.” I told her it was an “allergy” because that’s how the food industry understands Celiac. I asked about a dedicated fryer for fries and she said, “Well put fries and onion rings in it, so is that bad?” So… if your Celiac or sensitive Gluten Intolerant, please know there is a risk and the staff is unhelpful. I also ordered a Kids Junior Cheesburger, and out came a grilled cheese. I looked at the receipt and she rang it up wrong, so I’m not saying anything since my granddaughter seems to be ok and isn’t complaining. Overall, very disappointing and I won’t be back.

If you’re vegan and/or gluten free, you will love their choices. If you love olives, try Athena’s Gift which is a delicious gluten free, vegan sandwich. They also make their hummus in house. If that weren’t enough, check out the dessert options too!

Waldo Castle

Alison Metcalf

I love it here so much. The food and drinks are delicious and the staff is so nice! I love pursuing the baked goods case and the bodega area to bring some stuff home. Would love to see some more gluten free and dairy free options in their selections in the future though.

James Butts

Caryn Jones

It's rare for upscale restaurants to offer a designated gluten-free menu. I was pleasantly surprised that Iguana on Park not only has a GF menu and the choices are absolutely delicious!

Priscilla Feliciano

Food was really good. I have dietary restrictions (not by choice) and they were very accommodating. The menu was labeled with the gluten sensitive options and also made sure to leave out anything dairy related. Server was very nice and attentive. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely go back again!

Karissa Hagemeister

💙 I ate at the Blue Orchid Thai restaurant for the first time this past week with my friend. It captures your attention right away with its beautiful interior and large outdoor eating porch. We decided to sit outside because the weather was so nice. I ordered my fav Thai dish, Drunken Noodles. They are great about taking care of gluten allergies there and the dish tasted very fresh and delicious. My friend got the yellow curry and she loved it. If you love Thai food definitely go The ambiance, food and location are amazing 🤩

Antonio Arriaga

Brooklyn was our server. She was incredible. Knowledgeable on the menu and very quick to recommend alternatives for my wife who has celiacs disease.

Really long wait always during brunch time and so loud. The staff were attentive, nice and helpful. In honesty we only came here because someone gifted us a gift card and the breakfast was mediocre and really doesn’t match the high pricing of the meals/ entrees that they offer. I had the farmhouse hash which was not great or tasteful, my partner who is GF/ celiac had a quinoa power bowl that he didn’t enjoy or thought was good as well. Their speciality iced coffees were tasteful I’ll give them that but definitely won’t be coming back here soon.

Jonathan Raymond

We went because they have gluten free pancakes so my friend could eat with us Not only was the service slow despite the restaurant being almost empty, they messed up the order of gluten free pancakes so my friend got one slice of bacon and hashbrowns That's a straight up nope, never again
