Sip on rotating small-batch coffee with unique single-origin espresso and grab pastries from local bakeries, but be ready to take it to-go!
Gluten-free optionsSuggested by the GF community
Delicious coffee from a rotating selection of small roasters, and pastries from local bakeries, including gluten free options. One of the few shops in the area to offer single-origin espresso. Not a lot of seating, so be ready to get your order to-go during peak hours. They also sell whole bean coffee, and filters for aeropress, kalita wave, and hario v60
Le Pain Quotidien
East 72nd St And, 5th Ave, New York, NY, United States

I am a vegetarian and I eat gluten free. I have hard times finding appropriate food. They do have gluten free bread and they were so nice to create an avocado toast for me on the spot, it was delicious... Should be on the menu...
KING FERRY CORNER STORE
960 RTE, 960 NY-34B, King Ferry, NY, United States
Gluten-free optionsSuggested by the GF community
YOU MUST GO HERE! Most amazing baked goods, tasting like your grandma made them. With prices to match! I got a gluten free peanut butter cookie for only 46 cents. And it was the best peanut butter cookie I have ever had. You can buy everything from local meat, to cheese curds, food basics, local crafts, those amazing baked goods, and some produce even. Also a perfect place for gifts: pottery, goat's milk handcream....all with prices impressively cheaper than in Ithaca. This shop feels timeless and magical, the way small-town general stores used to be, back in a simpler friendlier time. Come here and you will travel into a sweet dear world and your wallet will barely even know it either.

Café D’Avignon @ The Moxy Times Square

Great spot for a cozy morning vibe, where staff go the extra mile to ensure you have what you need, even when they're busy.

Alexis the supervisor is fantastic. Because Moxy, the hotel next door, charges a $30 a day “convenience” fee that you must redeem either at this cafe or their bar, our family would meet for hot chocolate, coffee and breakfast in the morning but two of us our gluten free and the only food item we can eat there is the yogurt parfait. Apparently it is a popular item and for two straight mornings in a row, they were out. We got there early on the second day (8:30) to try and ensure we could grab one, but alas they were out. After the breakfast rush, as we sat sipping our drinks, Alexis went out and grabbed the supplies and made us some. As a Celiac, we are used to settling for whatever a restaurant has to offer or doing without and it was super nice that someone went beyond to accommodate us.
Sweet 'n' Savory Crepe & Rice Pudding Bar of Port Jefferson
104 Main Street @30, Chandler Sq, Port Jefferson, NY, United States
Gluten-free optionsSuggested by the GF community
Despite dropping a jar of pickle juice on the floor as I stood there making my order, and not confirming gluten free (so they had to remake it), the staff responded patiently (serving me the best crepe ever). And the rice pudding - perfecto. I'm definitely returning, as the price is right, and the menu is varied. Sit and relax or take out. Enjoy!
Next Door Coffee
1880 Rochester Rd (Route, 332 Purdy Rd, Canandaigua, NY, United States
With a standout cold brew and a range of options, this cozy spot offers unbeatable prices and a welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back.

I’ve been telling myself that I’d stop in Next Door Coffee because I drive by every morning on my way to work. Today was the day, and it will not be the last! They have the best cold brew I have ever tasted, and the proportions of cold brew to mocha sauce to milk were perfect. They also had an amazing gluten-free (and dairy-free!) blueberry muffin. The options are not limiting here. For a small business, their prices are also better than any corporate chain you will find yourself at. Do yourself a favor and stop in, the owners are personable and you’ll leave with a smile!
Wendy's Pantry & Country Mouse Tea House
84 Main Street - NOT N. Main, Mt Morris, NY, United States

Absolutely loved the personal touches. Best of all I get gluten-free foods. The variety of teas are great as well. Will definitely go back. This was my second time.
OVDER- Bronxville
76, 80 Kraft Ave, Bronxville, NY, United States
A cozy spot with delicious coffee and homemade cold foam, plus a sweet surprise treat with every order—definitely a must-visit!

I've been going to Ovder for a long time now,. They're super friendly, and I really like their coffee. They have packaged gluten free and vegan food options as well as some yummy treats like the monkey bread. I usually order ahead with a text message and use their house account options to pre-pay, which is super convenient. They also like to give you a candy treat along with your coffee most of the time, which is a sweet touch! Highly recommend.
