Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Discover in Glasgow

Monika Turska

It was a real treat, excellent food! We had a veggie and vegan breakfast which kept us full for most of the day visiting Glasgow. Vegan and gluten free bread and cakes were great!

Pum Vaandrager

Great restaurant for a lunch bite. Plenty of vegan and gluten free options.

My family stopped here almost immediately after arriving in Glasgow for the first time. We were exhausted from a long flight, barely standing! The Willow Tea Rooms brought us back to life - it’s rare all of us to enjoy something at the same time, but this won everyone over. Absolute heaven. I got the gluten free traditional afternoon tea and my partner got the savory tea. Our son ate all of his ham and cheese sandwich, which is rare, as he’s very picky. Thrilled with our experience, will be back!

This place was fantastic, got the last table available for breakfast. They have a full gluten free menu which covered just about everything I could want. I ate a mushroom Benedict which was delicious. Staff super helpful and friendly.

Katie

Great spot! Amazing selection for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free folks. Fantastic juices and coffee too :)

Ana Simarro

They are very friendly, and the food is very delicious, they also have vegan and gluten-free products.

Update on an earlier post. This time we dined in the Bath Street entrance version. Saturday lunchtime. Restaurant was very busy yet staff pleasant and helpful, willing to chat and discuss the menu options for a Coeliac member of our party. I was surprised another of the party had a dairy allergy which added to the complications of menu discussion. Starters arrived, looked and tasted great. My own main course a Pizza infernale was huge and delicious. Much better than the cardboard box variety from supermarkets. One of the main reasons for going out for a meal. Properly cooked stuff from professionals. Other members of the party joined in with the delicious notation. Chicken wrapped in ham, summer salad, garlic bread extras shared about the table. We enjoyed the meal and the chat. The atmosphere was very good too. The only issue as the restaurant was very busy, it was also loud and at time the discussions went unanswered or we missed the point in the story.

Good for coeliacs and Courtney was lovely and quick service :)

Robert McCallum

Great food decent price really helpful staff also do gluten free menu for people with gluten intolerance like my niece we Will certainly be back

Abbey McNeil

Venezuelan and Argentinian lunch spot. 100% gluten free, including churros!

RM A

We had a very tasty lunch, and the service was excellent. Sid in particular was very knowledgeable about allergens. Great selection of gluten and dairy free food/drink choices. Would definitely come back :)

Thany Dykson

BEST gluten-free, locally owned tea and pastry shop I’ve ever seen. The only place I’ve ever found gluten-free scones and they’re incredible. All of the sandwiches we had were lovely, and the tea pots are all unique and clearly a curation of a true collection. Amazing staff and cute, quaint shop with restrooms, water, etc. A must visit if you’re GF and or vegan!

We went for an early dinner and were seated quickly. They have a dedicated gluten free menu, but the menu and staff make clear that there could be cross contaminants. I got the Buffalo cauliflower, which was great. Then the Dan Dan noodles which they offer with gluten free noodles. I was brought a massive amount of angel hair pasta with hardly any sichuan sauce. It was disappointing and did not taste good. I didn’t let the server know because I didn’t want to have to eat what was brought to replace it. May return for drinks and music but probably not for mains.

Rachel Oliveira

Great options for gluten free brunch! All my choices have always been filling and delicious. Great coffees too!

Abbey McNeil

My first gluten free cannoli!

Stephen Milnes

Two days in a row we, a group of six, breakfasted bright and early at Bramble because the menu has so many choices for vegetarians and the gluten-free, the superbly plated up food is delicious, and the service is friendly and first-rate. For the first breakfast I had a savoury dish, choosing chilli scrambled eggs, with halloumi and cheesy hash browns. Second day I opted for the sweet, the special of the day peaches and cream pancake. Pancakes were light, the fruit in season, and the compote complemented nicely with the crumble. Next time we're in Glasgow, we'll be there 9am sharp!

Grub

staff were very accommodating for gluten free, brownies were definitely the highlight, I'll be back again next time I'm in the area for sure

Lily Thomson

Food was delicious, really good gluten free and vegan options. One item was incorrectly marked gluten free on the menu but the staff were quick to correct it.

Kelly Ewart

Delightful! Almost the entire menu can be gluten free! I had the Halloumi Hash with fried eggs and it was excellent. Everything from cocktails to fancy coffees and local Irn Bru. Staff is friendly and decor is modern and fun- upbeat vibe. Celiac friendly too.

jacqueline mcgrory

Brilliant gluten free millionaire shortbread

Cam Clark

Ordered 2 takeaway slices this evening and they were both delicious! Excellent place for coeliacs as the gluten free pizzas are cooked in a separate area/oven to avoid any cross contamination. Staff were super friendly and helpful and the pizza had a great flavour and texture - the white pizza with potato was incredible! And they have ranch! Looking forward to dining in next time as the atmosphere inside was really great too 😃

Kiren Kaur

Great customer service from Frank. I only came in to enquire about gluten free products and left buying an array of muffins. The store was clean and inviting. I would be back purely on the customer service.

NEWIMAGE PROP REPLICAS

We were Glutened !! I am diagnosed celiac and my husband is Gluten intolerant..we visited this cafe and ordered 2 Gluten free cheese burgers. The lady taking our order was not English and we had trouble communicating with her...we were told the chips were not gluten free which was fair enough so went ahead with the 2 cheese burger orders. We were then approached by another staff member who told us they could not provide 2 cheese burgers but we could have two chicken burgers instead also as we had paid for the fries which we could not have they told us they would replace the fries with two soups. The meal was ok.....chicken burgers were not nice they were cheap reformed chicken deep fried frozen chicken steaks in a brioche bun.. Two hours after this meal i was physically sick from ingesting gluten and my husband suffered for three days with abdominal pain from also ingesting gluten. We don't know which part of the meal contained the gluten and we are certain there was gluten in some of our meal. This was not some cross contamination issue this was us eating food that was not gluten free going off our symptoms... Will not be visiting again and celiac/gluten intolerant sufferers beware of the gluten free food offered in this cafe.

Robbie Macarthur

Id like to thsnk Mandeep for her help on choosing a gluten free desert very helpful thankyou

Will

Go here with my other half due to a need for gluten free cake options. All the cakes are great.

Cam Clark

Have ordered on Uber Eats and the gluten free pizza is amazing! I have coeliac disease, and I didn't have any issues from cross contamination so it's great to have a safe place to order pizza from that takes allergens seriously. The goats cheese pizza was particularly delicious! Thanks to the staff for taking great care with preparing it 😊

Aric K

Gluten free lemon curd cookie was absolutely amazing! And best flat white I’ve had in ages. They know what they’re doing 👌🏻

Lorraine Chalmers

Great wee find. Food made fresh to order. Cakes look amazing. Gluten-free options which is a big bonus. Excellent customer service. Can't wait to return.

Cath Parker

Homemade soup and cakes are amazing. My son is gluten free recently and he loved the caramel cake

Charlie Vanity

We loved the purrple cat cafe🖤😻 This is our third visit back and would recommend visiting to anyone who gets the chance. The atmosphere is lovely and I'm so grateful for the gluten free options available for food. We hope to visit again on our next trip back to Glasgow so thank you for another great experience!

Abi Makovsky

Absolutely fantastic brunch spot in East Glasgow! Dog friendly, which is a big plus these days. The space isn't massive but they also haven't crammed everything in, so you don't feel claustrophobic. Lovely high ceilings, big windows, and they've kept some original decor from the tenement days. The service was fantastic and the staff was absolutely lovely. Attentive but not invasive in any way! The food itself was nothing short of phenomenal. My husband had a sweet potato and harissa soup to start with fresh sourdough - expertly done! He then had the pastrami sandwich and myself the Turkish shakshuka with gluten free bread. (I opted for the fried potatoes too because I'm only lightly intolerant). The shakshuka was super tasty and a great portion. Personally I prefer my shakshuka a bit more saucy/pureed and less whole roasted veg but that's just a personal preference. I also asked for some garlic yogurt which just topped the lot off perfectly. The coffee was also really nice, I had an iced double espresso with oat milk and caramel. It shouldn't be difficult to get a nice iced coffee but I often find myself lacking. Not here though, perfectly balanced and you could tell the espresso was perfect as well. Overall we had a lovely little brunch, a good chat with our server, and some leftovers we're eating as we speak! Can't recommend enough and can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes!

Shelly Tik

Great healthy gluten free option!

Éva Bognár

Nice, cozy place with extra space upstairs. Good choice of teas and coffees, breakfast and lunch menu are both available and affordable. Vegan and gluten-free items included, good selection of scones and cakes. Nice personnel, quick service. Dog-friendly!

Rachel Mcbride

Gluten free options was our priority for husband, and he was very happy with his gluten free bread, bacon, eggs and beans. I had the Scottish breakfast which was lovely. They do gluten free soup also, which we haven't yet tasted, but hope to. Not posh nosh' but good food in a homely cafe with very helpful staff.

freepal1

Wow! What a great find. Received a voucher for Xmas and today 4 of us went for brunch. The menu was varied, suitable for veggies, vegan and gluten free. It was delicious and we’ve already decided we will be back very soon…and what’s more they do doggie birthday party’s.

Nick Cowan

Really nice meal we had today, my partner is Celiac and they really made an effort to accommodate her, the food was delicious, and they clearly make everything fresh which really shows. Also the Syrian coffee they serve is amazing. Definitely a cut above your regular café food.

Z Shah

Very nice place, good organic range and gluten free range. Baskets could do with a clean. Staff ws not very knowledgeable about products, was looking for buckwheat flower which they said they don't stock, but I found it on the shelves. Apart from that I was impressed by the overall size and layout of store and the range.

Izzy Shaw

Fantastic food from stews to sandwiches and scones to gateaux! A friendly team and great vibe make it a firm favourite! The gluten free and veggie options are a revelation. Check this place out just wish I lived closer.

Casey R

Best brunch in Glasgow! Loads of gluten free options, or alterations to make it gf. Had the avo toast with eggs & the flavor was amazing! Also, that bacon…fantastic!

Rachel Sears

Perfect! Amazing food, coffee drinks and freshly made smoothies. We are gluten free and the options were great (they make their own gluten free bread). The Florentine egg bake was to die for! The Italian sandwich was also excellent with high quality meats and cheese- served with a fresh salad and unique little potato salad. The whole staff was lovely and very friendly too! We were so lucky to find this place!

Elizabeth Duffy

Great vintage spot. Fantastic 50s music. Gluten free and decaf options a definite bonus. 😁

Rebecca Robinson

Another awesome brunch at Beefcake. I had the most delicious shakshuka with feta and gluten free toast and my partner, the fabulous roll with everything. Relaxed but attentive service from a very young accolyte who coped well with my single shot cappuccino and my partner's request that his food and tea arrive together. Our third visit, probably the best yet. If only the sun shone on their side of the street, it would have been six stars 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Natalie Smith

I visited Ottoman Coffeehouse today and was so impressed with the beautiful decor, warm and welcoming environment and delicious coffee. They have an array of lovely cakes and pastries, many of which are plant based and gluten free. The almond croissant I ordered arrived warm which was a lovely touch. The staff were very friendly, and gifted me a slice of cake for my birthday! I can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu.

Lynch Hall

We had a lovely pizza dinner here last night. Standard base was reportedly (by my family) great and my gluten free base and spicy chicken (with sweetcorn addition) was amazing!! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Shannon Corbett

We went to the one on Ingram street and it was lovely. Highly recommend! It’s nice for an independent coffee shop. It had 2 gluten free cake options (strawberry slice or raspberry brownie, both looked nice). My decaf mocha was lovely! But my mums Cappuccino was very basic and she said they could’ve added even some chocolate sprinkles on it for a little something extra - this of course is preference! The strawberry slice was amazing for gluten free - it was just the right taste and textures and it was like summer. So nice to eat! Very refreshing The place itself is nice, and is good for a quick sit down to have a coffee and cake - especially to support independent cafes! It is definitely better than Starbucks or Costa. There are no gluten free options for sandwhiches etc… so bare that in mind. Only a few cake choices! Would go back again, the staff were lovely:)

Carys Nield

Great service and good gluten free cakes, very nice hot chocolate too.

SW Carver

The pizza dough was delicious but the "cheese" topping spoiled it. I had a vague memory of The Glad going fully vegan from a couple of years ago, but that was only about five minutes after they'd started doing pizzas and I wasn't sure if they'd changed again, as the menu simply offered pizza with "sausage" and "cheese" while the specials board listed "fish cakes". Why pretend it's something it isn't? It's peculiar because I imagine a place like this would have no problem highlighting if a dish had gluten or nuts in it, but I am none the wiser what the bizarre mimicry of Red Leicester that my pizza was covered in - or my friend's fake fish cakes - consisted of.

Rebecca Robinson

Cappuccino with coconut milk was rich and delicious. Gluten-free millionaires shortbread disappeared faster than you can say, "gluten-free millionaires shortbread". Great service from lovely relaxed but skilled staff. Great setting including outdoors seating in sun/ shade.

Kate Addiscott

I had a falafel wrap and my sister had a gluten free design your own sandwich with jackfruit. The food was delicious! And the staff were so lovely ☺️ my sister had a good chat with the counter staff about avocados lol. Very well priced too. Have been meaning to come here for ages and will certainly be back again.

marilyn sharp

best gluten free bread i’ve ever had!! just wish they’d have it specified on the menu as an option because i didn’t know until i asked. genuinely SO good!!
