Top 21 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Eugene

Absolutely incredible. I’m celiac and it’s amazing to have such a wonderful place where I feel safe to eat. Everything I have tried has been absolutely mind blowing. The 4hr trip one way is worth it for their amazing food. I cannot recommend this place more.

As a Gluten free person not due to celiac, I am SO GRATEFUL for their options!!! I’m a sucker for the carrot cake cupcake 😋 Service could be friendlier and faster. I’ve had to ask questions about menu items or been given the wrong item, or…when I ordered a custom cake and got the wrong cake they responded with options rather than empathy. But oh well, maybe we pay more for the item than the service at hideaway. Either way, I think it’s the best best bakery in town and I love it!

Was looking for a juicing place. Thrilled to find Nourish. The juices here are cold pressed daily and the recipes are perfect. Green #1 and Love Your Liver (beet based) are the two that I order regularly. They are consistently balanced and delicious, not sweet or cloying, but fresh and refreshing. The café also serves Ramen with the yam noodles that are nutritionally dense and gluten free, tacos then include pork with kimchi, and fermented dishes. The owner is highly knowledgeable and clearly committed to high-quality food production that doesn't compromise taste or nutrition. Truly friendly service that doesn't treat you like a number or a tab. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Noisette sits with poise at the corner of Charleston and West Broadway in downtown Eugene. Though given the French name for the humble hazelnut, this place may be the empress of bakeries in Eugene. The pastries they had on a random Thursday afternoon when I walked in: the blackberry nectarine pistachio frangipane. The strawberry lavender Tres Leche cake. The mixed very tart with fresh cherry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberries, and two kinds of stone fruit. The coconut custard passionfruit curd which is gluten-free presented so elegantly. The yummy carrot cake sandwich. The coconut cream tart. Then you wander over and you see the olive oil white wine cake. For just $4.95. The lavender lemon tea cake. A cherry custard tart, the palmier. The hazelnut cloud cookies the pecan cloud cookie. The chocolate chunk shortbread cookie. The flourless chocolate cake. And then you see the savory options. The ham Greer on brioche buns with sweet pickles, lettuce, sweet mustard. The caramelized onion sweet red pepper leeks and mozzarella focaccia. The vegetarian savory tart which is leek, kale, artichoke heart, sweet peppers, goat cheese. But my favorite and the one I chose roasted lamb sandwich on sourdough with cucumbers, roasted tomatoes, grilled onions, and harissa aïoli. Next time it will be the mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil on baguettes with pesto. I'm not even gonna talk about the Hand pies. All this coming out of one bakery. The presentation is so beautiful. You almost don't want to eat it. And somebody here really loves their plants. They open from 8 to 6 Wednesday to Sunday. All bakers have to rise before the crack of dawn so deserve a break and they take their weekends on Monday and Tuesday. If you're not sure what to get talk to Emily she was super helpful.

Cozy, tucked away breakfast and brunch place. Indoor and some outdoor seating. Limited hours but does get very busy on market days. Vegetarian and gluten free choices

My new favorite is the maca cacao latte with espresso. Yum. They also have fresh juice and a nice menu. I enjoy the gluten free avocado toast. It's clean and quick, with a nice atmosphere.

Café Yumm! is one of those rare spots where healthy food actually feels comforting and crave-worthy. Their signature Yumm! Bowls—built on a base of organic rice and beans, topped with fresh veggies, protein, and the iconic creamy Yumm! Sauce—are hearty, customizable, and seriously addictive. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just hungry, there’s something here for everyone. The vibe is laid-back, the service is friendly, and everything feels thoughtfully prepared. It’s my go-to for a fast, feel-good meal that doesn’t sacrifice flavor.

As a gluten-free vegetarian, I enter most restaurants expecting to eat another side salad or veggie burger. Imagine my delight when most of the menu (even waffles!) was GF optional and not 1, but several items, were vegetarian. For the first time in years, I was stumped as to what to order and had to take a moment to decide. 😁 The best part? The food, which arrived quickly, was delicious! I got the GOAT and was quite pleased. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes. Thanks for being so great about dietary differences. I am truly appreciative.

I was treated very rudely when I mentioned I had celiac disease. She left me to Google some things and walked away annoyed instead of being helpful. The entire place was so smoky from cooking that my hair and clothes smelled the rest of the day. The cocktails were well done although weak for the price. I will not return
