Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Discover in Minneapolis

Delicious latte and double chocolate donut for under $10. You don't miss the dairy or gluten in any of their products. The donut was soft and moist with decadent chocolate frosting. Haven't tried the breads yet, I'll try to update later, but they definitely pass the squish test, springing right back just like a glutenful item. I also got myself a birthday cupcake :) vegan cream cheese frosting was amazing! You've got a try the savory monkey bread. Highly recommend

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

This hole in the wall is an amazing find. The entire menu is gluten-free. They offer several DF dishes as well. You order as the counter, and then they bring it to your table. The service is really good and they provide carafe of water for the table. They are spot on with refills. The only down side is the parking. It's all on street. There is patio and indoor seating. It's rare to find a restaurant that has more than one dish my wife can have with her dietary restrictions. Brim has several. It was great seeing her gitty looking at a menu.

Get here early as it fills up FAST! Great food and service. Highly recommend Hashbrown rancheros. Gluten free bread is house made and tasty!

Walking in off the street I genuinely gasped when I realized *all* the offerings on the menu board were gluten-free -- I'm a newcomer to dietary restrictions (gluten-free/dairy-free) and it's been a tough journey but I love this place and I'm excited to come back again. The staff were really well-informed about food allergies/finding options that met my specific needs, and it's got a great classic neighborhood bakery feel. The muffins are wonderful but the baguettes are really next level good.

Hen House Eatery has the feel of an old-time diner, but it is so much more. It has many food choices, and the gluten-free accommodation worked for me. I would definitely eat there again the next time I'm in Minneapolis.

Lovely little shop. They had a lot more unique teas than what I’ve seen at other places along with interesting coffee specials such as a squash latte for fall. They serve all sorts of gluten free items such as pastries and ice cream.

Very good, and everyone changes gloves after serving each guest. It's definitely a great place for gluten-free dessert after dinner.

I brought my family here because we have family members who are lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant. All of their ice cream is lactose free, and they have plenty of gluten free toppings and even gluten free ice cream cones! It's also pretty cool that they have vegan ice cream flavor options as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful, plenty of kids seem to be in and out of the location all hours of the day, and it's a great place for date night.

Breakfast sandwich is amazing..oh my god!!! I love the gluten free options! I would love the option to select no cheese when ordering online ;)

First time visiting today. This is such a great spot—very lively and full of people chatting and working and playing. It feels like visiting a coffee shop in the pre-smart phone era. Haven’t felt this good about a coffee shop since I left NYC a few years ago. They also have gluten free pasties which is awesome :) And delicious coffee!! Will certainly return.

Megan Relson

Great breakfast (and lunch) sandwhiches and pastries including gluten free and vegan options. High quality crafted espresso and coffee drinks. Highly recommend for both food and drink options.

We switched from a national chain grocery store to Eastside. Wow! I wish we had switched sooner! Their selection is amazing and I am shocked at how reasonably priced everything is. Especially as someone who often has to shop for specialty diets (gluten-free, mostly) The quality of their produce is excellent as well. Nothing but good things to say about Eastside Co-op.

I got sick after eating the gf muffins, but it may have been from the GF pizza at Pizza Luce the same day. Zucchini muffin was delicious. Ginger muffin was good. Cold press coffee was ok. Employees were a bit rude. FYI the pumpkin donut is baked, not fried, and they will put cream cheese icing on it if you want. I didn’t get it because to me a baked donut is not worth it. If I lived nearby I would give them a second chance, but since I’m rarely in the area I will try a different place next time.

I very rarely write a review regarding a place I frequent as often as I do, May Day, but I felt like it was important to voice my thoughts. To offer gluten free (GF) items is a wonderful thing and something I have appreciated every time I've visited. Today, they had nothing in their inventory of baked goods to offer their celiac customers. Mind you it’s 8 AM on a Saturday. If you are going to offer GF, be consistent.

The absolute kindest staff I've met on my trip and were super helpful when I asked about gluten free options.

Charming setting, great food and all around pleasant atmosphere. Right across the viewpoint of the falls in the Mississippi. Food prices are good, service friendly and quick. A great place to relax on a sunny Saturday morning! Many options with gluten and dairy free.

We loved our breakfast here! Love the options, I avoid gluten, but not celiac and the chilaquiles was amazing.

Gigis is a VIBE. The local art is so cool, the people cultivate a good welcoming place in the neighborhood, and the food and coffee are delish! I am celiac and appreciate the many gluten free options including dessert, most of the menu, and soup!!!

Everything about my experience was wonderful! My mom and I came in for lunch because the chai was recommended by a friend. I had the Masala Chai and my mom had the Cardamom Ginger Chai and we were both pleased. We both had curry bowls which were delicious. I would highly recommend the Cauliflower and Pea curry. Almost all their curry options are gluten free and clearly marked on the menu. The lunch prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Namaste is in an old house which is a beautiful atmosphere and feels like eating in a friends home. We were able to find parking 2 blocks away in the neighborhood without any problems. The service was excellent too. I will definitely be back to try more Chai! Please come out and support this business, especially with the construction on Hennepin.

Carolyn Crow

Nice iced chai and a great sweet potato gluten free muffin! Maybe should have taken a pic of the food but this place really has the best atmosphere!

Charlotte Barker

Anita Marden

Great food and drinks. Lots of gluten/dairy free options available. Gets very busy, don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit if you plan to sit in.

Kimberly Witalka

Delicious! We had the smoked salmon bagel sandwich on an onion bagel and they even had gluten free buns for our GF friends. The sesame latte and blueberry vanilla latte were so good too! Definitely worth a stop!

Stephen Thiessen

The cortado was beautifully velvety, and the latte hit that sweet spot between rich milk and a solid espresso. Both drinks showed care in execution without unnecessary fluff. Food-wise, the spinach artichoke roll is genuinely crave‑able. Savory, with just the right amount of filling. We also tried gluten‑free pastry from Sift. It wasn’t exceptional, but it’s great to see thoughtful options for dietary restrictions. The baristas were very attentive. Even at peak times, they were prompt, friendly, and happy to answer questions about the menu. The space itself walks a fine line between grand and cozy. High ceilings and art installations give it an open, historic vibe, while the clever sound‑dampening keeps noise at a comfortable level. Subtle nods to the building’s paper‑company past add character without feeling kitschy. Backstory Coffee combines thoughtful design, solid coffee, and conversational service. Definitely worth a visit.

Local, tasty & fresh, vegan/gluten/vegetarian friendly, affordable... coming to this cafe feels like you're walking into the house of a relative or friend that's excited to see you and ready to serve you a tasty meal. Sweet treats made fresh and great (healthy) menu options with a great coffee or tea! If supporting good businesses with eco-friendly operations is something you want to do- add this place to your list!

Really disappointed for Father’s Day. Thought they had good gluten free choices and a dedicated fryer, but no. My husband got half cooked potatoes and eggs. They were out of things we wanted to order and we were one of about three tables. Why do people rate this place highly?
