Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Missouri

Makenna Janee

I used to love Billie’s back when I was only trying to avoid gluten, their desserts and baked goods are pretty good for being gluten free (even tho a bit spendy) but since being dairy free (due to allergies) Woah #GROSS!! If you are only trying to avoid gluten then the sweets aren’t too bad (but use caution as they still use powdered sugar, cream cheese, and a lot of fatty high calorie ingredients so not good if you’re trying to be health conscious) but if you have to be plant based their options are limited and seriously so disgusting I still can’t get the taste out of my mouth. Just because it is dairy free doesn’t mean it can’t be sweet and taste good, trust me, I’ve had many dairy free/vegan desserts that are SO good I had to call the place and double check because I couldn’t believe it. I ordered the plant based cookie dough bar, snickers bar and chocolate chip cookie. Both bars were dull In flavor, not sweet at all, and TOO many nuts like wow take it easy on the nuts and dates. The cookie was dry and chalky almost choked on it. I’m disappointed because options for dairy free are always limited and Billie’s has so much potential, your entire target market/demographic is very fond of eating with food allergies obviously or we’d be going to a million different places #crumbl!! But save your money and your appetite and DO NOT buy their plant based items!!!! Just make your own at home and they’ll be a million times better I guarantee it.

My friend and I loved this place. I got a cookie and she got the cinnamon roll! You would never know it is gluten free strictly with a taste test. Staff are so nice and accommodating as well! I am recently gluten free and it is so nice to be able to be able to go somewhere where I could eat everything! I was feeling so discouraged being gluten free.

Laurie Hollenberg

Delicious! They know how to bake gluten-free without it drying out!

Julianna Armato

I bought this bread for my bonus grandma who has been complaining about the gluten free bread at the stores. I surprised her with this homemade loaf and she said its the best bread she has ever had.

Colby Troyer

I’ve never had a bad meal here. Their burgers are really tasty and so are their salads. You have to get the fries and try some of their sauces - so good! They have a very wide assortment of beers as well as a cocktail and non alcoholic menu. Beer Kitchen does a nice job of catering to gluten free diners. They have a whole gluten free food and beer/cider menu!

zenobia teague

Awesome spot! Perfect for dairy free/ gluten free folks, food was AMAZING best gf df waffles Super queer/ trans friendly too, can’t recommend enough!

Dylan Dinn

Amazing gluten free options.

Kathryn Thurman

While visiting we needed a place for breakfast and found this one. Has a few gluten free options. Would go here again

Gina Grosz

We have visited many times over the years but wanted to share high praise for a recent experience. We brought visitors from out of town to dine at the Ellisville location because two members of our party of eight have Celiac Disease (total gluten intolerance). The Gluten Free menu was a big draw and did not disappoint. All the GF food was clearly marked when it came to the table. The GF diners loved the food and had no issues after dining here. Our server was attentive and even graciously assisted when a child spilled his milk. Our guests can't wait to come back and dine here again.

Katherine Garrison

Great menu, great atmosphere. Was fast and delicious. Vegan and Gluten Free options available.

Kayla Vaughn

My husband and I are club members (for about 6 months) and have dined here once prior today. Both experiences were great, but today was exceptional!! Our waitress, Jaden Rain, was very helpful and just the right amount of attentive. She gave helpful insight to the menu and even offered me gluten free bread before the meal (I had no clue that was even an option). Our meals were delivered quickly, were generous portions, reasonably priced, and were incredibly delicious. I was blown away by the gluten free pre-meal bread. It was warm, soft, sweet, and so tasty. The other two non-GF people eating with me agreed that it was very tasty. The GF menu was extensive, including 5 dessert options. Additionally, we feel like the wine club membership is really worth all the perks that come with it, even coming from people who don't maximize the benefits each month. Will absolutely be back and we are grateful for the amazing service we received from Jaden today! And 10/10 for gluten friendly options! (Photos include my gluten free meal - pre-meal GF bread and GF Thai wraps (after I'd devoured them, haha!))

The food here was excellent! All members of our party enjoyed ourselves. The food was fresh, hot, and packed full of flavor! I really enjoyed their commitment to serving those with gluten allergies. The ciders were delicious and the fact that they showed the sugar content in each made it easy to pick what you desired most. The atmosphere was beautiful. Since it was a nice day in June, the bat door was open and there was a nice breeze. The only complaint were the drivers revving their engines loudly while driving by Service was also exceptional. Our server was attentive and regularly checked to ensure we had what we wanted or needed. I absolutely recommend Brick River Cider!

Kristi Arnold

Great gluten-free and dairy-free/vegan options The g-free garlic "cheese" bread is delicious. The vegan pizza didn't have enough "cheese" either time we visited. Better off ordering multiple appetizers.

Christy Lynn

I enjoy this restaurant every time I visit KC. The decor is inviting, cheerful and natural. The restaurant is very clean and crisp. I especially appreciate the many live plants. The staff is friendly, professional, and caring. They pay special attention to allergies and take them seriously. I ordered takeout tonight and Grace was very attentive to my meal as it was being made. As a note, they have gluten free buns, but they do contain milk (the staff did a great job of telling me). I made the choice to try the buns and can attest that there is a significant enough amount of diary to cause a reaction. They have plenty of options if you have food allergies. Also, they use avocado oil and olive oil to cook.

Jordan Starkweather

Partner and I have been coming here for ages, and we don’t even live in KC. It is always a must for us. Great service, great atmosphere, great gluten free options, and excellent food. Often a bit of a wait, but never long. I do miss the calmer vibe of the older days before counter ordering, but I can’t argue with the speed. These folks have it figured out.

Angella Curran

We decided to try Blue Bird Bistro on my birthday. We went on a Monday evening and made reservations, however, this particular night no reservations were needed and we were seated right away. We got there at 7:30 and stayed until close, it was so relaxing and we didn't feel rushed. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect. The food was a little more bland than I expected but it was still good and hot and fresh. There were plenty of gluten free and dairy free options for me. The cocktails were great! Recommend the catfish bites appetizer. All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely visit again.

Grace Teague

Always seems to be a bit of a wait, but the food is good and the scrawled-on walls and booths are fun. Gluten-free pancakes and paper crowns for the win!

Michelle Miller

I am celiac and it was a wonderful experience! Our server Valerie was so knowledgeable and sweet! They have so many gluten free and vegan options! I was very impressed! The food was absolutely amazing!! I got the chicken skewers and the fries. I can't wait to try all of the other gluten free options! I found my new favorite restaurant!

Madison Pivonka

I love when I move to a new area, and I find GREAT gluten free food. But to find the best gluten free doughnuts I’ve ever had?? Wow! I came into Parlor Doughnuts to try their gluten free vegan flavors, but they also have amazing coffee, breakfast items, and staff! I first tried their avocado toast (as I can still eat sourdough as gluten free sensitive gal), and I really appreciated the hint of lime and touch of tajin. The egg was a perfect addition. I also got a cortado with almond milk, and it was the best coffee I’ve had in Branson so far! Onto the doughnuts… I tried the summer special blueberry lemon, French toast (crowd fav), and chocolate chocolate. The texture was so good! It tasted like real cake and they melted in my mouth. If you’re gluten free…try Parlor. If you’re not…try Parlo. You can’t go wrong! Follow @pivonkasplate on Instagram to see my full review!

Laurie Melody

We had one of the best waitress were probably ever had! At first, my food was not prepared the best ( they were busy) BUT. It was fixed quickly, without fuss and was delicious. I actually just sat and didn't say anything. She noticed and just took action. The gluten free pancakes are fantastic and you can get different kinds, not just one note. OJ is made fresh in the restaurant. Tip: Expect to wait a bit. A large party, call ahead.

Ruby Von Blush

Always the best crepes in the state. Sooooo good and gluten free is available for all crepes. I love the French infused atmosphere and the staff. A must visit breakfast brunch spot in the city

Gerald Touchet

Denise Colette Briez

Cute place. Friendly staff. Good service. The food was good. But not great. Nothing was "wow that's good, I will be back". It was $30 with tax and tip. I had an omelet with sweet potato hash browns, 2 sausage links, and gluten free toast. Hot cocoa to drink. For a $30 breakfast, I want to be wowed.

Inspiration For The Modern Age

This is our absolute favorite donut shop. We had a lot of fun trying to choose our favorites amongst the wide selection of pastries. (They even have gluten-free options) The staff here at this Branson location were wonderful, light-hearted, and entertaining. We look forward to our next visit to Branson's Hurts Donut Company!

Kira

Great food! I love that it was safe for me to eat due to gluten free.

Lindsey Reising

This place is amazing!! Fresh tacos, salad, soup. The service is great and it’s a chill environment! Great for gluten free options. Whole menu is GF except flour tortillas! Get the cake!!!

renee lohmann

LOVED this place! Celiac here… not only was the server polite and attentive, but VERY knowledgeable about the “safe” options for me. And they have TONS of safe options for gluten allergies including a dedicated fryer. Food was exceptional!! I had the pot roast and could eat it every time I’m here now. Went back the next night and got a burger on GF bun and was great! Other fam members LOVED the he nachos and chicken BLT. Will absolutely make this a normal stop when we are in town

Carson Annis

As a girl with a german grandmother and someone who loves eating german cuisine, this is the most authentic in the KC area. Always delicious and transports me back to Ansbach each bite. Family favorite, including my mom who has a gluten allergy!

alexis clemens

Amazing gluten free biscuits and baked goods! 10/10

Courtney Hollingsworth’s

Delish! FRIED chicken, fish, and shrimp tacos, all gluten free!

Stella Cook

David Bingham

Good atmosphere, service all around was good, Food was terrific. Gluten free options for us. (They have a dedicated fryer.) We got the fried Jalapeno Bologna and I ordered the Oklahoma double with added brisket on top. All great! Make sure to check out the super cool water feature.

Holly Cita

Stopped in to Heritage for some sushi this evening and wanted to say it was delicious 🍱 We sat at the bar which is so beautiful! The decor is amazing. I ordered the California roll and the sushi chef assured me it is gluten free. Our bartender John was so professional and helpful. I highly recommend Heritage for those of you looking for Chinese cuisine!

Courtney Hollingsworth’s

Yummy and fresh with great gf options

Talitha Weiss

So many yummy gluten free options! Server was awesome, he was fun. Eric H. Know the menu well and very personable. Hope he's there when we get to go again

Courtney Hollingsworth’s

Good choices BUT I have been glutened more than once here, the gf noodles are often undercooked, they are just barilla penne, and I found a spaghetti noodle in them once. Eat at your own risk!

Russell Gold

What a delightful place! It's so vibey with graffiti'd walls (and ceilings), and an open, welcoming charm. It was relaxed and casual and delicious with HUGE portions without breaking the bank. Options for vegetarians, vegans, and a whole extra menu of gluten-free options (gotta request it). I live thousands of miles away, otherwise this would be my go-to place, especially for my out of town visitors! Loved it!

Madeline Erdman

I’ve lived in the Grove for about two years, and I’m walking distance from Songbird. This means, most days I’m up at 7 am walking my dog past this place to smell all the smells. Great smells, and all for free. I like to think my dog thinks the same, bc he will usually stop and take extra sniffs by this place. Fantastic place to smell, first and foremost. Okay, you want to know about the food. Yeah, I’ve gotten take-out from here, PLENTY a times. And it’s always going to be the same effing thing. THE COMBO SANDWICH! Please! Cmon! Insane to the fricken membrane! Never gets old! Perfect sandwich, and please know I come from the land of breakfast sandwiches (new jersey) and this place knows how to do a breakfast fricken sandwich. Freshly toasted sourdough, thick bacon, incredible cheese, and that EGG! 😫 With salt and honey on top, please. 🙏 Any time I get this to-go, it’s always warm, egg perfectly cooked, and so easy to order through their user-friendly website. Shoutout whoever does their web-design BTW - love it. Okay, now you want to know the dine-in vibes. Such a cozy, lovely, well designed interior. It feels like you’re eating at your down-to-earth rich friend’s house who definitely is a NPR contributing member. So like, good vibes. Love the hand-painted designs all over, and the color scheme is not overwhelming, it aids in your eating experience. One bathroom - small, and does the job well. Great bathroom. Every detail of this place is so well thought out, to the cookbooks on the bar, to the little figurines on the sill of the mirror. Also, always love a purse hook! Which there are a plenty of! The wait staff here - they are professionals. Like true, real deal professionals. My dad still references this phrase someone used - “How was your first chew?” I mean, how does one even think of such an original sentence? Thank you for inspiring thought and critical thinking. I’ve sat at the bar and at a table. Both spots had excellent back support, and how enjoyable to place my feet wherever I so choose when we sit. Perhaps I swing them! Love the choice. And the open-kitchen concept for the drink making, love it. How fun to watch espressos and kombuchas and teas and delicious alcoholic morning beverages be made!! Okay, now you want to know about the dine-in food experience. As much as I love that OG sandwich, I was recently diagnosed with a random autoimmune disease that restricts some foods I can eat, including gluten, so I was so happy to see they have a gluten-free option for their combo sandwich! I’m really not supposed to eat a lot of food, but the thing is the quality of ingredients is so incredible, I never have a poor reaction to their meat, dairy, or butter. I love they have partnerships with lots of local businesses, and you can really taste the quality. Okay, so I know I raved about the combo sandwich, but their menu is so full of variety and they have the best seasonal specials. My dad loves the Kale Frittata, and I’ve also enjoyed their Sprouted Grain English Muffin, and their grits are so yum! Please try everything once, you won’t regret it. Also always get the combo. lol. Now - the drinks. You might be saying, why is this tiny little Songbird latte $10? Yeah, I wonder that too. I think it’s because of inflation, and also because the quality of house-made syrup, cruelty-free coffee, and delicious milk varieties are just worth it. But hey, don’t want to spend that much? Get one of their insanely delicious teas, matchas, or juices. But don’t sleep on that kombucha. I won’t lie, it’s a bit of a small amount for the price point, but again, you get what you pay for here. My boyfriend tried their Coffee with a Kick as well, and he got a SUBSTANTIAL amount of liquor in that jawn 🤣. Very pleased. I know it’s a long review, but I must address one final thing. All of you weirdos are always complaining about the wait, and being “pushed out.” Go work in a restaurant once in your life. Please. Learn patience. It’s worth the wait.

Adam Emery

Great food, quick service. Portions are large and well made. They also offer a very large gluten free menu as well.

Allie Ashman

Phenomenal! Great food, great drinks, lovely indoor and outdoor seating - all in a cute little country store. Can’t wait to come back! They were also very knowledgeable about my gluten-free restrictions, which I very much appreciated!

Moriah Barela

Waiter was extremely friendly and helpful when we had questions. I was so excited to order gluten free pancakes (gluten sensitive)- I’ve never seen them anywhere! They were SO good and I was amazed they didn’t have gluten. It’s not often you find gluten-free food that is fluffy and not dry! If we are ever in the area again we will be stopping by.

Jeremy Boyts

When you want to feel fancy, eat fancy, and just be fancy...for breakfast! This is the place!! I think my kids love it more than me. The Funky Monkey! It's not for the faint of heart...but for sure do it once! Pro tip; get a mimosa while waiting for your table!! They use top shelf everything!! Amazing atmosphere; matched with amazing food! 6/5 stars recommended! Of and yes! Gluten free, vegan options, and for all the Ron Swansons!!! The "meat and cheese" omelet! Just order 1-2-3 meat and sit back and wait!! It's amazing!

Robert Junker

My experience at Hatched was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Our waitress, Mia, took our order and immediately understood what it meant when I mentioned I have celiac disease. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and made me feel very reassured. When our food arrived, a gentleman (whose name I didn’t catch) brought it out and mentioned that he is also a gluten-free diner. He explained that they had taken special care with my meal to make it safe, and even adjusted the “Blue Pancakes” by leaving out the lemon to avoid any risk of cross-contamination — while still trying to stay true to the original flavor. What truly stood out was that after the meal, Mia came back to the table specifically to ask how I was feeling. It was such a thoughtful touch and showed how much they genuinely cared about my dining experience. Because of their attention to detail, understanding, and kindness, I felt completely comfortable eating — without any fear or hesitation. I can’t recommend Hatched enough, not just for the incredible food, but for their outstanding service and heartfelt care for their guests.

Mary Schramm

Delish and many gluten free options!

Kimberly Cassidy

Hands down the BEST gluten free bakery I've ever had. The Almond Heart Cake is unbelievable, so delicious. The pistachio cheesecake and turtle cheesecake are equally incredible. Do yourself a favor and visit this gem!

Eric Hodson

Great food, gluten free options, outstanding service

Garrett S.

Great service, good for large groups. Our group of 10 sat outside on the back patio and it was very comfortable. The food was full of unique flavors. They have lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options. The sweet potato fajitas were perfectly cooked. Equal parts sweet and spicy.

Melanie W.

Great gluten-free options! Thank you Wonderful server “Tarn” that went above and beyond to help us out with our specific food and dietary requests. Started with the bubble bar flight, then had the apple and fig salad, so good. Ended with the lobster and gluten-free Mac, but traded out the lobster for steak and it was delicious.

Trisha Schreck

It would be nice if they offered gluten free toast or English muffin. Paying full price and not being able to have a substitution offered or even when asked for what they have in gluten free (fruit or half a waffle) is not accommodating to guests who are gluten free (not by choice). Colorado offers it, they should too.
