Top 37 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Cary

Tanya Ireland

One of the most delicious gluten-free meals I’ve had since being diagnosed with celiac in 2013! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The restaurant was spotless—with a perfect 100 sanitation score—and the staff was equally impressive. I truly enjoyed speaking with the owner, whose passion for quality and care was evident in every detail. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

New favorite spot! A family member has celiac and we are able to eat here safely - gluten free and safe from cross contamination! Aside from that, the food is absolutely incredible. Unassuming exterior but the vibe inside is great. Service was also top notch.

I’ve been going to Lugano’s for almost 7 years, it truly never disappoints! The food is incredibly delicious, the staff is very friendly, and we leave happy every time. Their kids menu is $10 for any of the items, they have gluten free options!

I love everything about going here. I have to eat gluten free and it is delicious.

The most delicious desserts in the Triangle area. The atmosphere and the service is great too. Halal and gluten free options are plus!

First time here and we loved it. We came for breakfast ..the food was delicious, very friendly staff and fresh squeezed orange juice that was amazing. For the gluten sensitive like me, the GF waffle was actually better than about any other regular waffle I've ever had! We have a new favorite place while we're in town visiting! 🤘

We've never had a bad meal here. Whether reservation or bar walk in the service is great. And the food is superb. Gluten free options on practically everything... except on bread for the amazing mussel wine sauce.

I’ve been a regular at Kababish for years, and just getting around to posting a review. Their food is delicious - fresh and full of flavor… consistently. The staff, many of whom are family, are friendly and attentive. I have celiac, so I cannot eat gluten. They are aware of gluten free needs; most items are naturally gluten-free, and they can easily modify many dishes to accommodate many dietary requirements. This gem tucked in downtown Cary is my favorite in Cary - because of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. It’s my go-to for my birthday, and Mother’s Day as well! My favorite dishes are butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, kabobs, and lahora bhindi (okra). And of course the mango lassi!

Very tasty food. Not a lot of gluten free options, though what they had was delicious. They are also aware of general food allergies and could adjust well. The Baja Bowl with carnitas was delicious.

Kelly Hewitt Penke

Had an amazing experience given our dietary restrictions. I am gluten free and my husband is dairy free. Our waiter was very helpful and asked the cook for recommendations. We were also approached by the manager to ensure we got what we wanted. Felt very cared for and everything was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant/location!

I love to go here with friends for coffee and pastry. My favorite is the chocolate walnut cookie. It's a huge amount of walnuts held together with chewy, tasty chocolate cookie. It doesn't matter to me but it is gluten-free. Several of the items change seasonally. I have had excellent mini coffeecakes, scones and muffins in various flavors. Their plain croissants are my favorite in town. I often get a sandwich (usually on a croissant!) or salad to go for later. The quiche flavors change as well. Today was my first quiche from here. Not only was it a huge piece but the eggy part was so fluffy, the crust was flaky and the chunks of ham were a nice size. I'll be getting quiche again!! The only downside is the place is popular so parking and getting a table can be difficult at certain times. They do have outdoor seating so when the weather is good, tables are easier to find.

I had food to go and was very good! Thanks to Ty and Brooke for the delicious lunch! I especially love that they have gluten free bread!

What a special place. It was our first time here and our server Andy made us so welcome. The atmosphere was so festive and the food was delish. I was thrilled that a fine Italian restaurant offers a wide variety of gluten-free dishes. Looking forward to my next visit!

Ismail Ibrahim

Amazing food with halal and gluten free options! Service was exceptional and everyone was very nice and friend

Roger Himmel

Major rip-off. Everything is an up charge. The cauliflower crust is the worst. If you have to be gluten free go somewhere else. The pizza was floating in oil from over saturated cheese. When I got home I threw it all away. I ate a slice and a half. My wife had the pizza special. She said the crust was good. When I got the bill, two pizzas and no drinks came to $58.60. Crazy.

Greg Ross

If I could give a ten-star review for Kennedy I would. She got our complicated order perfect. She welcomed us and made every change that we needed...included a gluten-free guest. She was awesome...the food was terrific. Can't wait to come back!!

Ambience and atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. Food was fresh and delicious. Amazing service. Gluten free pasta too! Authentic and so yummy.

We had a large gathering with a dog. They were so accommodating to food allergies as well as to our dog. They have a pet menu and our dog loved the pupwich. The gluten free bun was great. The food was delicious. It was a cold night but the heated patio was cozy. It was my first visit, but certainly not my last.

Allison

This was the highest quality restaurant experience I have ever had. All the staff were incredible in making sure we had everything we needed. They answered all my questions about their gluten free dishes. The food was amazing. The caprese salad appetizer and fresh strawberry mouse dessert were sublime! I even bought some of the house made balsamic vinegar that they used on the caprese. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

Morgan Cook

My friends and I went to First Watch Friday morning, and we had a great experience! The waitress was patient as we took time to decide what we wanted. I loved that First Watch had gluten free bread available so I could enjoy the French Toast. It was delicious, and I hope to see more GF substitutions available in the future. If you need a refreshing and immune boosting juice, the morning meditation juice will hit the spot (must like ginger to enjoy!) Another great experience and meal!

Terrific place in downtown Cary. Had many options for gluten free, vegetarians and vegan diners. The patio was great and had a nice view of the town park. A good walking spot after dinner.

Sophia Coble

Always full but for a good reason!! This place has many different choices so there is something for everyone. I am Celiac and they have gluten free toast as well as shrimp and grits. Very tasty and wonderful staff to take care of you.

Aaron Westrick

Great atmosphere. Fried chicken sandwich was reasonable. Fries were soggy. Waiter tried to be helpful, but did not know the gluten free options for my wife. Also messed up the bill and had an extra entree included by mistake.

Dan Sheehan
