Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in Portland

Mel Griffin

Love their donuts, pizza and focaccia. Totally gluten free and delicious

We ended up at this bakery by accident today. I hadn’t ever sought it out before because of it being vegan, in my experience gluten free + vegan baked goods aren’t the best. Boy was a wrong, I had one of the best cinnamon rolls of my life here (including glutinous ones). The service was lovely, atmosphere was great and I will definitely be back next time I am in the area, the pie looked incredible.

Amazing gluten free baked goods

Discovered this place on Tik Tok by a previous guest. Placed this on my must do - to do list to come to when adventuring on my 10 day Oregon roadtrip. Very hard to find places that are “true healthy” restaurants when traveling. Stopped in solo 5-30-25 post breakfast hours but before lunch. Was greeted by Cash - SO NICE, great personality!!!! suggestions were made but ultimately I decided to have the Vegan “tuna” chickpea salad sandwich. I had already had breakfast but wanted a light lunch before going hiking. (Had kitchen cut in half for me to take remainder on my hike). Loved the bread (almost sure and hoping it was gluten free) that was toasted lightly but not so hard it was like a crouton. The side soup was a vegetable type soup. Wow! Seasonings were on point with the sandwich and the soup. Bathroom was clean. ONLY THING that had me sad was no souvenir sticker. I travel all over the US frequently and enjoy collecting stickers. I don’t need cups, shirts when traveling. Please consider getting stickers. If I ever come back to Portland area. Hands down you will have a repeat customer coming back. Thank you!!

The food: top tier The employees: delightful The atmosphere: casual, fun, upbeat, low-key As a celiac with a strict gluten free diet, this place is heaven. As a person who appreciates quality product/services, even more so.

Best vegan gluten free pizza in PDX! Try adding the locally made Vtopian Pumpkin Seed Muenster it is amazing. Staff is always super sweet.

Cyrus Buhariwalla

Great gluten free sandwich.

I was skeptical because I thought this would be asian cuisine (I'm sometimes intimidated by asian ingredients and sauces) but it turned out to be the same food I am used to, just with a subtle twist. I was unsure about the "Yumm sauce" even after the nice employee described it to be so he gave me a sample. It was great! It reminds me of a subtle tangy sauce, like tomatillo without the spice. The other ingredients were exactly what was detailed on the menu, and were very fresh. The flavors came together deliciously! In addition, there are many gluten free options and what the celiac in our party ordered did not cause her to get sick.

Great pies, and selection. Okay selection of gluten free. The smores and peanut butter chocolate pies were amazing.

EDIT / UPDATE: The general manager reached out to me immediately to figure out what happened, which I really appreciated. We figured out that their online POS system had a flaw that made effective order communication difficult (specifically when editing an order before checking out). They are diligently looking into the issue to get it resolved, and offered to refund me the amount for the item I ordered that came as a burrito instead of a bowl. My experience now has been improved drastically thanks to their commitment to improvement and customer satisfaction. Thank you again for resolving this so quickly and effectively, JoLa! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I want to give this place a higher rating but I’m a little frustrated with their online ordering experience. I did my best to pick certain options when editing each item in the online ordering section, but some of my choices apparently did not save correctly (as my receipt reflects a different choice than I actually made — and I triple checked my choices). For example, I asked for one of the items as a bowl instead of a burrito (which is an option they offer). In the receipt though, it says I chose a burrito. I even wrote a note in the “note to restaurant” section when ordering to ensure that it went through correctly (I wrote to them that I chose this particular dish as a bowl, not a burrito, as I try to limit my gluten intake otherwise I get sick). I also chose to add sausage and I got bacon. So while it seems that their online ordering platform may be to blame, I did preface my preference for the bowl versus burrito and it shows up on the receipt, yet they neglected to pay attention to it. It’s disappointing. The food is good though. I’d give that 4 stars. Would love for this to be resolved.

Excellent breakfast spot with great vegan and gluten free options!

Tyler Sakura

Fast friendly service with good food and coffee. They also have a number of gluten free options.

Michael K.

Had gluten free bagels and vegan cream cheese. Unfortunately they didn't have gluten free breakfast sammies :(

Elizabeth Jones

My girlfriend and I have been regulars at this stand for going on 4 years. They have gluten free food options, which is a massive plus, and their coffee is just plain good. The staff there is always polite, friendly and knowledgeable

Prices went up on my bread $4 overnight. Not even a casual increase. I'm gluten free because I'm a celiac, not because I'm rich! Grabbed the Holliday bread and 3 of them were already molded. Otherwise it's convenient to go to, just bring extra money for their extreme corporate overhead

Bassline Pixie

Top notch service, drinks, sweet treats and food. The coffee selection is sure to impress any connoisseur. The latte I had was the best ever. The carrot cake and lemon raspberry dessert were way too good to be gluten free, but they were. The salmon dish was refreshing and savory. This was my second visit here, and I will definitely come back again. The weekday visit was lovely because hardly anyone was inside. Weekend will have a wait. Highly recommend!!

Sita Ram

Cozy atmosphere, great coffee, yummy food, awesome vegan gluten free baked goods, and was open during the ice storm!!! Plus everyone that works here is super friendly

Tabitha Freeman

They can make any sandwich gluten free by swapping out the bread. Yay. However, the filling/bread ratio is off. The ingredients are quality, and the bread seems homemade, which is nice. But there’s almost nothing in between two thick slices. It happens too much in the gluten free world where you drop $20-30 and have to stop somewhere else to eat afteward if you want to feel nourished and ready to take on the rest of the day. :( So Hungry Heart is not alone in this. I will say that their gf bundt cake is perfect in every way. I spent $18+ on the sausage sando and bundt cake.

I've been supplementing my diet with Kure ever since I went gluten-free. I love their shakes; my body craves them! Hoping one day Kure gets a location in Beaverton because Moberi and Nekter don't cut it for me.

Hannah Hardcastle

One of our favorite spots! I love the gluten free items and my partner loves EVERYTHING ELSE! Everything is a hit on the menu

Great food, coffee was also great which I never expect at a restaurant. We had the avocado burgers and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly. They are gluten friendly which is also a huge plus.

Joe D

Always a friendly vibe here. Very chill, home like atmosphere. Good food and coffee. Bonus points for having gluten free bagels!

Vegan and GF

Ren Prince

Love coming here for brunch! Very cute and laid-back atmosphere with delicious food. The gluten free crepes are amazing, and I love all the different options. The avocado with chicken is my go-to!

I ordered the Maple Pecan Ring and OMG wow it was good; filo dough twisted and baked into a donut like ring, covered in pecan bits and maple sugar 😋 😌 not to mention the service was very good. Great spot for vegan and gluten fee options as well.

Kinzie Ridgewell

All of the other reviews are accurate, incredible drinks, delicious food and super friendly service. Had a gluten free bagel breakfast sandwich that I will be thinking about for WEEKS!! So good. Thanks, Jet Black! A true gem.

Ray Garcia

Delicious breakfast bagel sandwiches with gluten free options. Very friendly staff as well.

Kristi Dille

Busy night and still managed to be seated within 20 minutes. Great gluten free selection. Love the vibe!

Trevor Robertson

Fave fave fave! Absolutely wonderful sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and coffee. They have a sweet selection of well curated groceries and gifts from organic produce to gluten free pasta. It's a great spot for lunch, or to pick up a picnic to take out. Also, a neat place the throw together a last-minute hostess gift.

Ren Prince

Truly delightful! Everything we ordered was beautifully cooked and so flavorful. I would highly recommend the espresso with sweetened condensed milk - such a tasty treat! Also had some good gluten free options.

Tommy Darden

Kure offers a variety of downtown vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is consistently friendly, the smoothies are consistently delicious, and their breakfast sandwich is truly impressive!

Ian Meisner

Best coffee shop in Sellwood and isn’t even close! Homemade syrups are all so tasty and the service is very friendly. Lots of Gluten Free items available which is nice.

Marisa Biondi

The gluten free donuts were made to order. They have a great cake texture and taste really good!

Clean, nice atmosphere, good coffee, reasonable price. I’m a celiac and couldn’t have any pastries, but they look good. Fun dinos all over. 😀

In town and first visit to this modern, friendly coffee house. As a celiac I am looking for good coffee and gluten free eats. Their pastries looked fabulous for gluten lovers btw and I would have loved a blueberry muffin or cinnamon roll. They have Gluten Free Hand Pies and I asked if they could handle it celiac friendly I would order one. They knew exactly how to use separate tongs and protect it from gluten as they prepared it. The pastry on it was flaky and buttery and I was immediately concerned that it wasn't gluten free because it was so good. Rest assured it was gf and I ate safely. We had real caramel lattes to go with and it made for the perfect after run brunch. They did make an error on my husband's order, but they more than made up for the error. We would absolutely come here again and highly recommend Insomnia Coffee Company. Make a point to visit soon!

We absolutely loved having our 55-person wedding at Bar Carlo. The owner Mel is at the same time very supportive and very low-key, which made for a smooth planning process and day-of event. The space is gorgeous, and has multiple connected wings, which allowed for the the party to morph seamlessly over the night from barside cocktail hour to outdoor patio ceremony to dinner buffet to dance floor. The space is already a beautifully decorated artwork, and Mel lets you decide how to arrange the space for your event, but you can also bring your own decorations/sound system/llama and she can handle those additions easily. 🙂 The food and drinks were delicious too, and Mel was able to accommodate our entirely vegan and gluten-free menu without hesitation. Overall we loved the unique-ness, flexibility and good vibes of the space and the people of Bar Carlo, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun space for their wedding or other event. -Nicola & Lou

Kathy Joyner

A great place for gluten free/dairy free treats

Dina Ávila

We used to love Little River Cafe. It was great place for a decent lunch on our way into town. Husband would get the BLT and I would get the Salmon Salad as I can't eat gluten and that was my only option. The last time we went my salmon was undercooked. The owner was there and remedied it immediately. I know food, and I know when salmon is undercooked. We went there last Sunday for lunch and it is likely the last time we'll go. I know we're all struggling and trying to save money but offering only disposable cups for water was the first disappointment. They used to, at the very least, have washable plastic cups. This is not why I'm writing this review. Every item in my salmon salad was old or, literally rotting. The apple slices were dry and tasteless. The salmon was dry. The avocado was rotting and sure tasted like it. The lettuce, all of it, was rotting. You know when oak leaf turns black and slimy when it's old? That was my whole plate. It was disgusting. It is NEVER OK to serve anyone rotting food. They were busy and the owner was no where in sight and frankly I didn't think the kid behind the counter would give a shit (if you ever watch Gilmore Girls think Brennen in Luke's Diner). So we left. And, sadly, we won't be going back.

Exceptional cortado, americano, and gluten/vegan treats! (Terminal C, near C17)

Pam Wink

We went for coffee at Seven Virtues the other day. The coffee was delicious. Being GF and having a celiac in the family I was delighted to find out that all their house made treats were GF. The berry bar was amazing! Better than anything I’ve gotten at GEM. They do offer regular and GF bagels. The cashier was very knowledgeable and helpful about cross contamination with gluten. I think they should get a second toaster for GF bagels. I’m excited to bring along my GF/celiac family members soon.

Kara Cooper

Food is great but ordering is annoying. You have to do it virtually. You can’t ask questions very easily and the dietary restrictions aren’t easily identified, filtered or something you can ask easily either. It seems they are short staffed and very busy so it can be difficult to get a person to talk to you or help you. There’s also no trashcan, which is confusing and you can’t reach the utensils for to go orders yourself. I find it frustrating to order there, but the food really is very delicious. I’ve been there a few times and there are a lot of options for dairy and gluten-free people.

Abigail Sanderson

I came in with low expectations, I mean it’s a hospital coffee shop… and was so impressed! I got the two egg breakfast with gluten free toast and ate it so fast I could take a picture! The bacon was perfectly crispy and thick, nailed the over easy eggs and the gluten free toast was some of the best I’ve had! For dessert I had a pumpkin spice latte with oat milk and a gluten free salted caramel chocolate chunk cookie. All delightful. Staff was super friendly and I found out it’s a locally owned family business. If you’re at OHSU it’s an amazing option!

Ksenia Pereverzeva

The owner is very kind and attentive. Helped with some gluten sensitivities and with other questions I had about the menu. It's a great small Cafe for a quick satisfying bite near the convection center!! Also omg their bagel sandwiches...
