Top 8 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens to Explore in Savannah

April Thomas

Literally the best macaron I’ve ever tasted. Unreal. And gluten free. This is one of our first stops ever trip to Savannah. Heavenly.

Went above and beyond for my celiac. Everything was fantastic, their portion sizes were way more than I expected. This place was the highlight of our trip to Savannah

The service was great. The line was admittedly very long because the place is super popular. It’s one of those “don’t miss” tourist things. So, when in Rome… they had people bringing water to those of us waiting in 100 degree heat. We waited and had our choices picked out. I was happily surprised they had vegan ice cream. It’s not sorbet or sherbet, it’s actual ice cream, and they can make all kinds of treats with it. They clearly mark their menu for allergens, too, including gluten, nuts, and whether an item can be made vegan. I have multiple allergies so this is very much appreciated. They also offered to scoop out of the back where there was less cross contamination when an allergy was involved, so, again much appreciated. The reason I didn’t rate 5 stars… the ice cream wasn’t knock your socks off ice cream. It’s good, but to stand in line for 30 minutes and all the jazz, the experience didn’t match the hype to me. If you’re looking for ice cream on a hot day, this would be the best option. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it though.

Vanilla bean crème brûlée is to die for (and is gluten free).

If I could give 10 stars, I would! We had our wedding at Cha Bella, and Candice (the owner) and her team really knocked it out of the park for us! The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the food is top quality; you can really taste the difference. Candice, the owner, is such a gifted chef - when we did our tasting, my partner and I both said to each other it was one of the best meals of our lives, so we knew food would not disappoint on our wedding day. Sure enough, everyone was raving about the food and about the service, which was impeccable. We provided decorations and asked them to decorate, and they did such an amazing job making the venue look even more beautiful than it already is! Candice was kind and accommodating throughout the process of planning everything and even allowed us to have a piñata at the event, which was a huge hit (no pun intended). The event ran super smoothly, and everyone enjoyed themselves and kept complimenting us on everything - from the amazing food, to the venue, to all the details and decorations, to the amazing service. I cannot eat gluten and had several people at our wedding who also cannot, and Candice was super flexible, making everything for us completely gluten free, which was such a treat for me and my fellow celiacs/gluten intolerants. We asked her to do a dessert bar and to reduce the sugar on desserts since we like things less sweet, and she was totally flexible on that, too, and did such an amazing job! Everyone was raving about the dessert as well. We ordered some extra food to make sure people could have seconds, and we ended up with some leftovers, which Candice kindly let us take home (I know not all venues allow this). Thanks so much to Candice, the amazing event coordinators Selene and and Elise, and the whole team for throwing us such a dreamy wedding. It was the best evening, and folks kept on raving about how they wished they could go back in time and have their own weddings at Cha Bella! We don't live in Savannah but visit from time to time, and, needless to say, we'll be back to eat at Cha Bella often because we think it is the best restaurant in Savannah (and in GA, actually!). Thanks so much for making our special day stress free and beautiful. Candice and co. are the absolute best! I highly recommend Cha Bella for dinner or events - you won't regret choosing them!

The service is excellent, beginning with the staff at the front as soon as you enter. Everyone is pleasant and cheerful. I have celiac, and the server was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. It had been a hot day, and I always enjoy a chilled wedge salad after being in the heat. The salad was excellent, and the chill was just enough to cool me down after having a couple of drinks on a rooftop bar. All four guests enjoyed the same Wine is reasonably priced based on the normal restaurant charge, and two of us enjoyed a couple of bottles less one glass for someone else. Main orders consisted of 2 ribeyes, a large filet, a small filet, and a small wagyu for an appetizer. The wagyu was outstanding with just the right amount of salt to really enhance the flavor. We only ordered one side of spinach. I did not have any, just focused on my steak. Everyone enjoyed their steaks. Said they had been perfectly cooked and tasted great. I enjoyed the large filet, but not to the fullest. I understand how difficult it is to cook such a thick steak, but the top and bottom portions were very dry, flavorless, and not that appealing. The middle portion, which is the largest, was cooked perfectly. It was getting through the tasteless, overcooked outer part first that I did not enjoy. Overall, it was a good dinner. Excellent service will make you forget about minor issues. I will return soon and check out the ribeye.

We loved having Jordan as our server! He went above and beyond to ensure all food items were gluten free and safe for me to eat. Loved celebrating our anniversary at this melting pot.

I’ve eaten here a few times, growing up in Wisconsin it’s been fun to discover a Culver’s nearby. During the blackout with Hurricane Helene this place was packed & they did an incredible job with all the craziness & frustrated hungry people. I’ve recently become obsessed with their pumpkin spice shake—there’s actually pumpkin!—pure fall in the south bliss. The cashiers and servers are always friendly & the food is freshly made. It feels indulgent, but I don’t feel gross after eating here. I like to sit outside on sunny days. Also, they have gluten free buns which I thoroughly appreciate!

Great coffee and with gluten free baked goods. I got the lemon raspberry bunt cake but they also had a cheesecake option. Had salads too which would have worked.

Do you like sexual enuendos with your dessert? Because if so, this is the place for you! It was so fun and felt very intimate, the art is great and I want those floor tiles for my house. Came for a date night with the husband. I was so overly excited that they have gluten free dessert!! We got the 4 way, and I had one of the best cocktails ever (vanilla and ameretto I think) with a caramel rim. My husband got a chocolate milk. The whole place is great with the theme and decorations, we loved it. Our server was so great! Only thing that we didn't love; our table had a direct line to the front door so that spoiled some of the fun/ambiance (need drapes around the entrance or something I think to block it from the tables right in view of it), the chocolate milk was not chocolate enough or mixed well, and while the red velvet cheesecake was absolutely delicious, the regular cheesecake was just, meh. I expected better. HOWEVER! The gluten free cake was carrot cake, my favorite cake, and it was amazing. It was everything a carrot cake should be, and I need that caramel in a jar because holy moly, I've never had such good caramel before! Next time I hope we sit somewhere else, and no cheesecake. At least not the regular one.

Entrées were delicious, also a wide variety of gluten-free meals was very pleasing to my aunt who has celiac's!
