Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Boston

Debbie Zendejas

Made it here in the rain before noon. Very disappointed to find out they only had Whoopie pies that did not look very appetizing. I am from California in Boston for 2 days. This place was on my list to visit for GF bakery items.

Gabriele Phillips

Lots of gluten free options!

We made a reservation for Sunday night before a show. Reserving online was easy and I noted a gluten free menu was needed. Day of, the hostess picked up immediately when I called to say we were running a few minutes late. We came in and were seated immediately - with one GF menu in hand. Waters were filled, and a server brought a basket off pop overs. Noting the GF menu, she came back with GF breadrolls for my mom. Waiter was nice, helped my mom choose wine. She got the lobster risotto and I had the fresh tortellini. Food was fast, tasty, and delicious. We were given fresh macaroons with our bill, and the server brought my mom a couple more GF rolls for the rode. Such a great experience! Thank you!

Risotto is delicious and gluten free. Our waitress recommended brussel sprouts for appetizers, which was 🔥

Raena Woods

Delicious gluten free donuts! Friendly staff and great service

Bret Warren

Great food. Very easy to order online and identify food allergies.

Sabina Sokol

I’m gluten and dairy free and was very excited about this place despite the mixed reviews. I got a brownie cupcake for $6 and it just tasted like extremely sugary dough. I was very disappointed and will not be coming here again.

Went here for a date night and I will be coming back! Food was SO good, multiple types of pasta to choose from with almost all pasta dishes can be made gluten free. Portion sizes are large so good for dinner and for leftovers! You need a reservation but so worth it!!

I had heard a lot about Legal Sea Food and had been advised to try it out especially as they pride themselves in gluten free fish fry and have other fried items all dedicated gf . We started with the house sangrias : one red & one white . Refreshing especially on a hot and humid summer evening . Ordered the classic fish and chips prepared gluten free (no pictured) and the cod that was salt-vinegar crusted with a bed of bacon slaw , potato wedges and a lightly mustard remoulade. Delicious dish . Fish was perfectly cooked and crispy . The sauce was just right and tied it all together . Staff was a bit slow but there was a huge amount of people during peak times so they tried to keep up . I could have had more sangrias but it was a little hard to flag staff down . Not a big concern . The food was excellent ! Although I had been told no reservations were needed I was glad I made them in advanced as the place was hoping and can get a little loud . Very nice experience will be back next time in Boston

We visited for my dad‘s birthday dinner and it was a delightful time. Every dish was very tasty. I got the penne alla vodka gluten free with whipped ricotta on top (definitely worth getting!) - the orecchiette, chicken, Parmesan, and scallops saltimbocca were all very tasty. The zucchini fries were the perfect appetizer, the pesto aioli they came with was awesome. They also brought some limoncello shots and a beautifully plated Torta Di Chocolate for dessert. Definitely recommend coming!

Lewis Beynon

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.

Jillian Power

We had dinner here with my young son, who has celiac. As soon as I mentioned gluten-free/celiac, the waitress immediately listed all the options available, explained that they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and described the procedures they follow. Most dishes could be made gluten-free, and my son chose the nachos. The service and knowledge were excellent!

Anna Diemer

Celebrated our fifth anniversary here while visiting Boston! I was so jazzed that the menu offered so many gluten free options. We enjoyed the oysters, mozzarella sticks (gluten free!!!), octopus, lobster, and bolognese. Finished with peach sorbetto. It is an investment but was absolutely worth the culinary experience. My partner’s fave was the octopus with crispy guanciale. Excellent drinks as well!

Langley B

Some good options! Definitely caters towards allergies. Pancake wasn’t my favorite but everything else was good! Wait time was a lil crazy but great atmosphere! Would def recommend!

Raena Woods

Great service and food. Gluten free fry mix! So nice for my son to get gf chicken tenders.

C J

I almost cried I was so happy to have a lovely afternoon gf and df tea with my kiddo! Absolutely delicious!

Darci Truax

Lunch was wonderful! Had a hamburger on a GF bun and a GF Blueberry scone. Yummy!

Raena Woods

Great selection of gluten free treats. I was thrilled how much care the server took and my meal even had a little toothpick that said gluten free. So reassuring!

Nicola Sampson

Amazing restaurant. Affordable. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Very accommodating with gluten allergy.

Emily Aldous

Food was delicious, server was kind and very accommodating of my friend who has celiac! She even marked up the menu with all the foods that she could and couldn’t eat to make it easier for her. We both got paellas and oh my god the portion is HUGE so if you are going with another person make sure to share it btw the two of you. Great dinner spot in the city

Paul Cannon

The veal and eggplant parm was AMAZING. These guys rival Mother Wolf in Vegas and have more gluten free options. This place is top notch!

Pictured is their gluten free bread egg and salmon sandwich that waa good. I loved this bakery. It gets very busy during the peak times but the lines seemed to move quickly. Because of how busy they are during peak times, seating can be a bit limited.

Keith Dosik

This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.

Matthew Fanning

Two guys working on Sunday afternoon. We walked in to a few folks at the bar and an empty set of tables. Didn’t look promising. We were pleasantly surprised from start to finish. The after show rush filled up the place in 20 minutes and the place got busy! The guys were humping, but did a great job taking care of everyone we saw in the place, despite looking short handed. Food was all good, solid pub fare. North shore roast beef took me back to Ipswich. The number of gluten free options was awesome to see.

Cassidy

This place is incredible. As a gluten-free girl, traveling with her dairy-free friend, food can be a challenge. This place had plenty of options to meet both of our dietary restrictions. I had this zucchini/corn fritter bowl. It was incredible. They also offer specialty coffees, salads, acai, all fresh and beautiful. This is a perfect summer spot for a cool meal. The prices were also strikingly reasonable, especially for Boston. The vibe is also brilliant. The colors are vibrant, and the energy is high. I loved every aspect of Life Alive!

Erica Marinaro

Delicious burger and the bun was tasty. Had a side salad. It hit the spot!

Daniel

The flavors are generally pretty complimentary and I am appreciative of the high-quality gluten-free pasta with celiac-friendly preparation. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired in two aspects: 1: the somewhat arrogant pricing 2: the customer conveyor-belt style service flow - they are trying to fit as many seatings as possible into each evening and do everything they possibly can to get people in & out in under an hour - seems a bit self-defeating when they are selling $65+ bottles of wine Worth it if you go in expecting to order light, get one drink, and move on. Definitely find somewhere else if you'd like to enjoy multiple courses and make an evening of it though.

Simone Bernstein

The chicken milanese and the strawberry tiramisu were delicious!! I also just heard that their Monday evenings are gluten free!! The private green room is outstanding!!

Kerry-Ann Parsons

Really cool place, easy to do a takeout order. Lots of parking around. I had the Gluten free fish and chips with fries. Pretty good, but not excellent. I was glad to find gluten free, dairy free and soy free in Boston.

Jenna Goddard

Amazing Indian food with tons of gluten free options

Deyna Loera

Really pricey and their gluten free rolls are weirdly sad and gross

Donna Matlock

Sydney Erickson

They do have gluten free pasta which is nice, but the sauce wasn’t very good, not worth the price.

Jessica Siewrattan

Great atmosphere, gluten free options available, staff knowledgeable, birthday dessert if you're willing to wear a huge pink sombrero

QFamily

Our server Vivian was excellent - professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food and wine were great too (as always). We really appreciate all of the gluten free options as well and the gluten free rolls are delicious.

Naomi Schneider

Truly most amazing gluten free dining experience I’ve had since being diagnosed in may. Gluten free bread which was wonderful and in a separate bowl from the normal bread. Everything fried is gluten free so I ate the calamari which was delicious. I ordered sushi and they gave me gluten free soy sauce. Overall, they are very accommodating and will make sure you are eating safe and make you are satisfied! I highly recommend if you are in the area!

Sam White

Top-notch staff and top-notch smoothies for every occasion made from high quality ingredients. Dedicated gluten-free with a few baked goods as well.

Second time here, first since the pandemic. Glad we remembered because it's just as good. Tuesday lunchtime and not too busy, surprisingly but I think we just beat the noon rush. We got the Smokin' Jamaican on gluten free bread, the GF tiramisu and a cup of Joe. The sandwich was delicious, grilled in the panini press with some gorgeous grill marks. The overriding flavour is definitely jerk and mango chutney with the turkey being more background and I really enjoyed that. The tiramisu is tempting to look at (see pic) with professional layers and a beautiful whipped cream topping with chocolate shavings. Hard to believe it's gluten free. The coffee is really good if not a touch pricey but it's downtown Boston and there's a Bucks on every corner so they gotta hold their own. All told, $25 plus tip for a sammich, dessert and a coffee. Not too weird for 2025. See you on the road.

I’m sitting here right now, and I basically never feel inclined to leave a review mid meal, but here I am. After less than a year of realizing I have a severe gluten intolerance, it’s been an adjustment, to say the least, and not a yummy one. This food about brought me to tears. Maybe it’s the long travel, but nonetheless, I find myself trying to savor every bite. They have a gluten free menu, which I decided to try the house made Ricotta (chips instead of bread), and the bolognese. I can’t. Every bite is amazing, and if you have a gluten allergy, you know what delectable pasta isn’t always easy to come by. Not to mention, I’m sitting by the bar and can hear the kitchen staff talking about the gluten dishes, grabbing clean pans, and ensuring they leave the hold window when they’re done. Just beyond what most restaurants do. I cannot wait to be back in town to come again. Oh, and the staff is just so nice and helpful, and everyone seems to just sincerely love their job! You know when the owners and chefs (and sous chef!) are named on the menu, they take real pride in what they do. Highly recommend!

Gluten-free Churros- I rated this place 2 stars for the fact that they actually sell Gluten-free churros (thankful) but as far as the quality of it I rate it a 1. The churros were super dense. Almost like biting into a piece of bread with no salt or moisture with a tiny dusting of sugar and cinnamon. The churros with the sauce didn't help much. Chocolate too over powering and the other tasted more like a peanut butter sauce that tried to imitate its actual flavor. Again I'm thankful for the fact that they even sell these however I will not be back to purchase as it was not worth it. Side note they do sell a small and large. This was a small for about 8 dollars and the large is 14.

D Dopfel

Nice cafe with a bunch of gluten-free snack options that have come in handy for me. Coffee and tea drinks are all good, but not standout. Can be hard to find a place to sit as it is always pretty crowded. However, we've always been able to get a place to sit without too much of a wait when we decide to stay. I had the gluten-free chocolate tart, which was rich, chocolaty, and not too sweet. The London fog was acceptable but seemed a bit underbrewed as the earl grey didn't come through strong enough for my taste

Coco Poco

Had egg sandwich which was extremely salty and focaccia they used was cold. They give you a number plaque if you dine in, it makes you think they would bring it to you like tatte. They don’t, so I sat down while my sandwich sat cold on the counter… so why don’t they tell you to just wait by the counter? I liked them when I first visited them… not many pastries I wanted to try. Maybe it’s catering vegans or gluten free?

Ishy Shah

The place was nice however the options for gluten free with the bread choose was terrible. It was hard and the avocado toast with the GF bread was flavorless. So disappointed :(

Nicole Pallardy

Got takeout here for the first time and was blown away by the gluten free pizza. Crust was light and soft which isn’t usually the case with gf. Feta salad also on point! We will definitely be regulars!

Stephanie Frankum-Lewis

This was a great restaurant with a very welcoming atmosphere for families and couples. The menu had fantastic options of fresh local seafood and gluten free options. The lobster was sweet and succulent. The roll was a masterpiece. It was a delicious simple pleasure. The brussel sprouts were a delicious addition to this meal. This is a true Boston treasure!! I hope to be back in the future.

jennifer Gomez

Real gluten-free food! Delicious drinks Wheelchair accessible

Mich Besse

We had a gluten free pizza, and it was delicious. One of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had. They were also super nice and opened the window for us. Excellent service.

Antonio Gutiérrez

Boston restaurant with gluten-free options. Variety of burgers and very friendly waiters. Recommended

The last three times we have been here, the fish has come out still frozen on the inside. The fried haddock used to be fresh (a work of art) but it appears they have pivoted to buying frozen fried haddock and tossing it into the fryer which does not completely cook the frozen fish. We also received beans with macaroni bits in it. My household has celiac's so we did not appreciate the cross contamination. Overall the quality has gone wildly downhill. You are better off just cooking at home.
