Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in San Antonio

Dannie Morris

We came here to celebrate our son's 23rd birthday as well as his upcoming graduation from The Culinary Institute of America, and it was well worth every cent! We did the tasting menu and shared everything family style. The food is dairy and gluten free as well as plant-forward. That said, the braised shirt ribs did not disappoint. We left full and happy. If you're dining with someone who doesn't like vegetables, bring them here to change their mind.

The food was delicious, I was able to have chicken fried steak and gravy gluten free! The waiter was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options as well as gluten allergy/ Celiac. There is not a separate gluten free menu however almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free and they have a separate prep area/ fryer. My only issue was it was kinda expensive, very yummy though!

The cupcakes are pretty good, rarely they can be a little dense/dry but they are almost always great! I reccomend the red velvet, lemon, and soft pink extra! The quiche and almond cake are outstanding. For a bakery they have lots of gluten free options. Not just some cupackes, but brownies, monster cookies and almond cake? Wow! It is pricey but I'd say it is worth it. Make sure to call ahead to see what gluten free is available if you want gluten free.

So there I was, minding my own business, headed toward a totally different restaurant when—bam!—Miss Chickpeas Cafetel on Callaghan Road in San Antonio popped up like a delightful little plot twist in my lunch plans. The name alone caught my eye, and I figured, hey, why not shake things up? The moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, which already made this detour feel like a good decision. The vibe? Super cute, cozy, and definitely a place with regulars (always a good sign). And while I’ll be honest—I was a little skeptical about vegan food (I mean, can it really compete with the meaty classics?)—that hesitation melted the second I laid eyes on their baked goods case. Vegan and gluten-friendly treats that looked like they just stepped off a dessert runway? Yes, please. Before I even touched a menu, I was already halfway sold. I chatted with the friendly staff, and one of them enthusiastically recommended the Breakfast Sammy. Throwing caution—and my meat-loving instincts—to the wind, I ordered it along with a German chocolate cupcake that was practically whispering sweet nothings from the dessert case. When the food came out, it looked great. The vegan bacon threw me for a second—it definitely looked different—but once I took a bite, I was pleasantly surprised. Not your traditional bacon texture, but flavorful and satisfying in its own right. The ciabatta roll was soft with just the right amount of chew, and the whole sandwich worked really well together. What made the experience even better? The staff came to check on me, genuinely interested in how I was enjoying my first dive into their menu. We chatted a bit, and they let me know their baked goods come from their local bakery right here in San Antonio. Major bonus points for supporting local. All in all, Miss Chickpeas Cafetel was a refreshing, feel-good surprise. It’s a great lighter option when you want something satisfying but not heavy. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their breakfast offerings—and probably sneak in another cupcake (or two). If you’ve ever been curious about vegan food but hesitant to try, let Miss Chickpeas be your gateway. It was mine—and I'm glad I took the chance.

Gluten-free French toast... What more could you want.

Gluten-free options! The one with yogurt for me was delicious (not too sweet). The mimosa was a little strong in order to feel the lavender flavor, but it was still good. The place is so beautiful and they have a very friendly staff.

Good food. Very accommodating to gluten and dairy allergies! Really fun time!

So tasty and fresh! Got a gluten-free smoked salmon crepe. I’m so happy to have found a gluten-free brunch spot!

Just a great place off the Riverwalk. Food is wonderful, and they don't play around when you order, fast service and hot. They do have vegetarian and gluten free.

Gluten free hamburger was delicious. Southwest Chicken Sandwich was excellent. Would eat here again.

R Sebeck

Great spot for a healthy breakfast! I ordered a pitaya bowl and loved it! Great texture and flavor and very customizable! Staff is knowledgeable about allergens and with heir guidance I got my bowl without the hemp granola because it is not guaranteed gluten free. I appreciated their transparency and enjoyed my bowl either way. My vegan friend ordered a smoothie with vegan protein and loved it! Delicious, healthy, very reasonable price :)

Freshest macaroons and they’re gluten free! These macaroons were absolutely delicious and the bakery is extremely clean and the staff is very friendly and polite, they were able to recommend some great flavours!!

David Nabers

Stopped at this place for lunch with some buddies while visiting San Antonio. One of the best meals I had during our trip. The burger was delicious and the sweet potato fries with the jalapeño fries were fantastic! They have gluten free options and it was one of the best gluten free buns I’ve come across. Alicia took care of us and was extremely personable and provided great recommendations. If you’re in the area and want good food with a good vibe, you can’t go wrong with this place.

Kate Wham

Absolutely incredible food that is impossible to tell it's vegan. Flavor, variety, and no animal products! Lots of gluten free options too. Owner is a cool ass dude who has great stories and wisdom. Can't wait to go back!

It was a pleasant surprise to fine a very good espresso in this Gelato shop. They also have a macaroon Gelato sandwich for the gluten free people.

First time trying Local Coffee with a friend , the iced Salted Caramel Latte with almond milk was perfect . My friend is not really a coffee lover but enjoyed her hot chocolate with marshmallows inside . The Cinnamon Coffee Gluten Free Muffin was delicious oh my goodness . Our barista was so kind and sweet to us . Looking forward to try more of their options when I visit The Pearl again .

Karina Segovia

The best Gluten Free pancakes in the area!!*Not sure if are celiac/autoimmune friendly*

Shannon Stage

This place was a great find! They had breakfast tacos they were able to use corn tortillas to accommodate my gluten intolerance. Tacos were freshly made and yummy! My husband found delicious pastries and we both enjoyed our espresso and tea latte drink! Love a place that caters to both coffee and tea drinkers! Also the staff was helpful, and genuinely nice! Made my morning!

They do not in fact have gf croissants and in fact the staff member laughed at me when I asked. They have very few options that are gluten free and not very respectful of questions regarding cross contact of the eggs.

How did I not hear about this place sooner?!? The cheesecake is amazing. Full stop. If cheesecake is your thing, stop on by. You won't be disappointed. "Picnic in Space" was out of this world (sorry for the dad joke). But, seriously, it was so fresh and flavorful. They have gluten-free options as well. Highly recommend this place. Check out the pics below. Will definitely return!
