Top 14 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Kirkland

Lauren Hall-Stigerts

I’m so grateful we have a healthy and casual cafe in the Juanita Village area! I’m gluten- and dairy-free, and I have no problem finding dining options. The food always tastes healthy and fresh. I think the price is fair for the quality. I always have leftovers to take home, but I have a small to medium appetite. The sustainable packaging is great, and I love the snack options. The zucchini matcha muffin is delicious! My favorite meal is the vegetable and rice bowl, but the chicken sandwich and the breakfast sandwich is also delicious. I removed a star for the atmosphere: it’s better since they walled off the pharmacy/practitioner area but it’s still cold and a bit clinical inside. Either there’s no background music at all, or it’s internet radio with ads and synthesized instruments. Sometimes I feel like I’m interrupting some of the staff (but other staff members are friendly). Still, it’s one of my favorite places to meet a friend for breakfast or lunch. I never feel hurried, and I always feel good after I eat there. It’s often pretty quiet inside; I hope they get good business so they can stay here for years to come!

I ordered a latte and it was warm, not hot. Someone else made it for me and said he would make it extra hot, but it was also just warm. I just wanted a hot latte that I could sip at the beginning, but both of their attempts returned one that I could have immediately gulped down. On the plus side, the latte did taste great. The people are really nice and the leaf pattern on the top of the latte was very impressive. They also have a bunch of pastries, but all of their gluten-free options had already sold out when I was there in the early afternoon. I would try other places around nearby before I go back to this place.

My friend Jennifer who is a very selective person regarding food ingredients approves of this place! We had an amazing gluten free vegan dinner & loved everything! Highly recommended. Thank you to the awesome staff for all of your hard work.

Pros: Amazing food! Gluten free great bread! Fun drinks, extremely good prices. All in all a great place I go to frequently. Some customers don't like the customer service, but I've always had a good experience with them. Always friendly, quick, and efficient with me. I appreciate the staff. Cons: Very dirty, ceiling over the kitchen, walls, and seats really need to be cleaned. Maybe hire a cleaner once a month to do a deep clean 🤷🏼.

Absolutely glowing review for Deru! From the moment we contacted Deru for our wedding cake, we knew we were in excellent hands. Lezlie's professionalism and genuine care were evident from the start. We opted for their signature carrot cake, and it was, without exaggeration, the best carrot cake we've ever tasted. It was moist, flavorful, and absolutely divine – we are still receiving compliments from our guests weeks later! The logistics of delivering to the Space Needle take a little extra care, but Lezlie handled it with grace and punctuality. She arrived precisely on time, ensuring our cake was perfectly placed and ready for our celebration. What truly set Deru apart was their attentiveness to our guests' dietary needs. We had guests with a tree nut allergy and others requiring gluten-free options. Lezlie thoughtfully recommended a delicious mini chocolate cake for the nut allergy, which was a huge hit. For our gluten-free guests, she offered their incredible jam drop cookies, which were equally raved about. This level of personalized service and consideration was beyond our expectations. Our florist added some simple flowers to the cake, which complemented its natural beauty perfectly. The cake itself was a masterpiece, and Deru's attention to detail made it a truly unforgettable part of our wedding. If you're looking for a wedding cake that not only tastes incredible but is also crafted with care and personalized service, look no further than Deru. They exceeded our wildest expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a truly exceptional dessert experience. Thank you, Lezlie and the entire Deru team, for making our wedding day so sweet!

Definitely not a mom and pop pho place but still really tasty. I appreciated all the gluten free options that were clearly marked. Pho is pretty good but I loved their vermicelli noodle bowl. Service was great and fast. Although, the ordering system is all tablet based.

Even with all the September forest fire smoke blocking the visibility of Lake Washington it was still a great spot to enjoy excellently prepared seafood. The menu was pared down from Covid but there were still great options that made it easy to choose gluten and dairy-free options.

We had the pate, duck confit and watermelon salad. The pate was great and the server was very accommodating to bring us extra bread and gluten free options. The duck confit was perfectly cooked and fell off the bone and the watermelon salad was one of the best I’ve ever tried.

First of all, it is NOT "$" restaurant. $28 appetizer and $26 shawarma, which is basically street food and $6 drinks do not quality as "$". More like $$$. For $6 we got glass of coke which was barely 8 oz and half ice. Next, I told waitress that my daughter is celiac and we need gluten free. So hold the bread please and bring us shawarma without pita, just chicken salad and fries. Next thing happens she bring appetizer plate with bread AND puts bread in front of my celiac daughter. WTH??? To add insult to injure we were charged $3 each for the shawarma "as salad". Basically they hold bread for $3 extra. ONLY DISCOVERED ON FINAL CHECK. Asked why, the answer was "This is how we do it". If you want to be ripped off and get street food for two for over $100, be my guest. The food was not particularly different from typical Mediterranean outlet, we can get BETTER meat, salad, rice and hummus for like $20 per person including tax and tip.

Tried the Corinthian Omelette here with Gluten free toast and a Hashbrown! They had 4 different kinds of hot sauce which helped bring some spice. Great service and atmosphere too :)

Its okay, but certainly not my style. Just not a lot of variety for meat eaters who aren't vegetarian or are needing gluten free foods. The Cuban sandwich was pretty good, bit surprised by pickles which I wasn't told about. Overall 3/5. Not bad.

Mexican food from Durango area of Mexico. Flavors are fresh and layered. They accomidate gluten free and have some meatless dishes. It is right on the water with large outdoor seating areas. Service was friendly and efficient.

I went on a Sunday Morning. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Then I got to my table and right away a server was taking care of us. The view is great, the atmosphere is good, and also there’s options to sit outside right in front the lake. The Menu has a few vegetarian and gluten-free options. I totally would recommend to grab brunch there.

Hannah Graham

Good food. Fun view where you can see the boats come in. Accommodate my celiac well, have not gotten sick and have eaten here 2-4 times. Only 4 stars because I requested a window seat that was open but was denied because somebody already checked in. Even though no one was sitting there 🤷🏼‍♀️
