Top 20 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in New Orleans

Colorful Roses

Either these reviews are for the non gluten free foods or I just went on an off day. I got the okra gumbo and red beans and rice, I felt like when I said gluten free they went ok no seasoning for this one. It was so bland I couldnt eat it. I was very disappointed as I was looking foward to good; safe for me to eat, food.

This place is amazing for celiac or gluten allergy. They have gluten-free vegan batter that is cooked in a separate area. I had the Pizza crepe ans the honey bunny both amazingly delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back!

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and I have to say my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Simply amazing. Every dish had such bold, unique flavors, and I really appreciated the wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu. I ordered the Crab Scramble with vegan eggs, which was packed with flavor. I also got a side of the bison sausage it was my first time trying bison. While I personally prefer chicken or seafood over red meat, the sausage was still well-seasoned and tasty, with subtle notes of onion and bell pepper (not sure if that was intentional, but it worked!). My mom ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and I got to try a bite and wow. It was a flavor explosion. I've never tasted anything quite like it before rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. We all shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, which were sweet but not overpowering, with a unique flavor that really stood out. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte delicious and classic in taste. If you're looking for a traditional, less-sweet matcha, this is the one for you. My cousin ordered the Cat Daddy Biscuit, and once again great flavors, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was on point. My aunt went with the Bearcat Breakfast, a more traditional option, but she swapped in the bison sausage, and it paired beautifully with the eggs and potatoes. The only downside? Parking can be a bit tricky, and there might be a wait ours was about an hour. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. Next time I'm in New Orleans, I’ll be back without a doubt!

You always hear about the amazing beignets in NOLO but guess what are even better?!? Calas!! I found Cafe Calas when planning our first family trip to New Orleans. My daughter and I cannot have gluten so I was trying to find GF beignets. Instead I found this delightful spot. The owner, Brandon, was so friendly and gave us the fascinating history of the cala. We all really appreciated his passion and of course his delicious treats. The calas were fantastic as was the coffee and coconut water. My only complaint was that he wasn't open every day of our stay!! Definitely go if you are visiting NOLO!

Went on a Saturday so it was crowded but they found two seats together for us. The Southern BLT was delicious, especially the fried greens tomatoes. Wish the gluten-free items were posted more clearly on the printed menu.

Friendly, good and many gluten free options.

What a beautiful, delicious, cozy experience. The shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and they have gluten free options noted on the menu! The staff was kind and welcoming and gave us space but served us well. We we will definitely be back!

It was a busy morning and they said they couldn’t really handle the volume of people so cross contamination was difficult. I had the frittata (I knew I shouldn’t have) and got absolutely smacked by gluten. I’m sure this place is safe for gluten intolerances or allergies, I’d be cautious with celiac.

Been coming to Nola for Mardi Gras for the past three years running, and never miss a chance to eat at Another Broken Egg. Food is great, awesome gluten-friendly selection for us gluten-sensitive folk! Ask for Jenny!!

I go for the Gluten free blueberry drops. Wish there were more flavor options and they weren't quite as sweet but the blueberry is pretty tasty.

If you've recently lost a loved one (egg, milk, gluten) then this is the place you need to try. They work magic. I don't know how they make brioche or pastry cream without eggs or dairy but they did it excellently.

Kay was probably one of the best servers I’ve ever had! I am Celiac and can’t have gluten. She took her time explaining all the breakfast options and I had the incredible gluten free French toast. The service from every person was excellent, the place is clean and friendly and all five of us had incredible meals!

Matthew Hayden

I go here several times a week. Chili Avocado Toast on GF bread is a go to. Vegan scramble is great, too. Don’t miss out on the dirty lemonade! This is a great little local cafe with gf options available. I don’t have such a severe issue that I need to worry about cross contamination, so I can’t say that it’s celiac safe, but it works for me!

Matt Turner

Outstanding vegan and gluten free options. You MUST try a king cake and the hot breakfasts!

As some with multiple, severe food restrictions, Lamara was a wonderful surprise. Almost everything is gluten-free, and I had numerous dairy free and mammal free options as well.

We stopped here for breakfast. Then, we chose to try their Beigntes. They came 4 on the plate. And although there is a more famous place on New Orleans that makes them we tried both. Both my wife and I feel this place makes the best Beigntes so far. Properly made dough and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend them. Now digging into my Boudin omelet and her bourbon street breakfast. The Boudin omelet is great. It is light and fluffy. The hashbrowns are freshly grated and not over processed. My wife's pancakes are crazy good. I try to stay away from gluten, but I would eat these cakes and deal with the side effects without complaining. Hell yes, I drank the Boubon at 9:15am. No, I do not have a drinking problem. Bourbon while having some spice was smooth. If you are on New Orleans, put Cafe Fleur De Lis on your list to have for breakfast. Love it and will be back next time we are in New Orleans. It's really good.

Really cute cafe with delicious food we had the crab meat omelette (must have) shrimp and grits (must have) gumbo soup, biscuit sandwich and migas. Fresh squeeze juices were great. The biscuits are made from scratch and wonderful. No gluten free bread but there are some gluten free and vegan options in the menu. Cute vibe inside. No reservations so be prepared to wait but it’s soo worth it.

Delicious donuts! Thanks for carrying the gluten-friendly drop donuts! Cold drinks were very heavy on the ice so the drink didn’t last very long.

Emily Hamman

Good gluten free & healthy selections. Relatively quick and friendly service. Smoothies are large for the cost.

My group of 8 had the best experience here. The food was absolutely incredible (the bacon was magical), and there were good options for the gluten free and vegetarians in the group. The owner was friendly and delightful. This is a must visit if you are in the area.

I’m vegan and the options were not very good. The smoothie was full of ice and not blended very well. I got a sandwich on gluten free bread and because the bread was gluten free it doesn’t hold like normal bread. But most restaurants with gluten free bread know to toast it so it doesn’t get soggy. They did not toast the bread and it was soggy.

I trust all the Brennan’s restaurants with my celiac disease. They have good gluten free breads and always reassure me to limit cross contamination. The food is always good too
