Top 24 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens Across Louisiana

Ester Martinez

Egg, sausage, fruit and English muffin was delicious!

This place is amazing for celiac or gluten allergy. They have gluten-free vegan batter that is cooked in a separate area. I had the Pizza crepe ans the honey bunny both amazingly delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back!

You’d likely never know this adorable, plant-filled space on a block bearing a street name no one knows (that feels more like an alley) could be the best thing to happen to your week. Located directly across from one of the two U.S. Court of Appeals loading docks, this oasis quickly transports the diner to a country they may have never visited and may now want to visit immediately. This isn’t that “Mexican” place you have in your hometown that mostly serves to pacify the American palate. That isn’t to say it will feel unfamiliar or awkward; you may just realize excessive grease and cheese aren’t required for enjoyment of every item. With the exception of tortas (sandwiches) and a couple of desserts, everything is gluten-free. Not just in the “no-gluten-containing-ingredients” way you may find many places, but instead it’s an environment where staff are trained on cross-contamination (and where they have a dedicated frier). There are also numerous vegetarian and vegan options. Happy hour is 3-6 weekdays, and you’ll definitely leave happier. Then again, that’s kinda guaranteed anytime you visit. Do yourself a flavor 😉 and walk right on over from the streetcar or even the French Quarter. Should you take the ferry over here from Algiers? Well, I sure won’t discourage it! Come hungry, thirsty, and ready for your life (or at least taste buds) to be improved.

One of the few restaurants I've ever been to where I had a drink waiter separate from the waitress, but was also chill with me wearing shorts and a graphic tee. They ask about and seem very attentive to dietary restrictions, so if vegetarian or gluten free or your thing they will work with you. I appreciated the hanging art separating the tables around the periphery of the restaurant as well as the general vibe. I ended up ordering a couple of cocktails and the Ramos Gin Fizz was like drinking a slice of lemon meringue pie; 10/10 if you're into meringue. That was followed up with a honeysuckle liqueur drink melding blackberries and basil (honey child) that was good, but didn't come close to touching the Gin fizz. I ordered the fixed price 3-course meal with turtle soup and sherry followed by the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life and capped off with the best bread pudding I've ever had as well. Thanks to the waitress for pushing me toward the bread pudding: The toasted pecans and caramel really sent it over the edge and made it an especially sumptuous dish. Another gin fizz in a to go cup (because French quarter, why not?) and I was off to the next stop!

The food was incredible! So well seasoned and fresh. Had many gluten friendly options. Excellent place for healthy and delicious dining!

Q. Bell

Just go! This was delish, atmosphere was quiet, clean, neat. The variety of goodies was vast, and its gluten free! But doesn't taste like it at all! Y'all this is place is delish!

Celiac baked goods that taste too good to be true

The gluten free menu was great and had plenty of options. I had seen there used to be gluten free gumbo however there isn’t anymore. I had jumbalaya instead which was okay, but slightly bland. It’s also quite noisy inside and the AC was on high so it was cold. I think the outside patio looked lovely and would recommend sitting out there. Otherwise service was fine and lots of good food options.

Great restaurant with authentic food and amazing service! Could accommodate my gluten allergy which I sincerely appreciate :-). Steak frites and eggs are fire 🔥

If you love macarons, you'll love Sucré. It's our go-to for gluten-free desserts. The macarons are delicious (don't sleep on pistachio) and the gelato is excellent. I love the toasted almond, it tastes like marzipan ice cream. The space can be a little loud, but it has a very cute vibe, and they're open until midnight, making it a good spot after dinner. Don't skip this one!

Mindi Keith

Stopped in after work with a friend for a late lunch and had the best tuna salad sandwich *chefs kiss* My friend couldn’t stop raving about her food also. Server was fantastic and funny. Menu features gluten free options for those of us with dietary restrictions. Hope to go again!

Jill Judy

Staff could not have been more pleasant. Wine menu was extensive with solid selections. Our mains were well made with fresh ingredients, unique flavors, and the menu took great care to provide top-notch options for vegans and gluten intolerant folks. While I’m not vegan, the chocolate vegan ice cream was incredibly decadent and delicious. The website pictures made me think seating was communal; it is not. We wish we could move this gem to our town.

We waited 40mn for a table for a late dinner. The person at the reception wasnt the friendliest but we were hungry. BIG SHOUT-OUT to Paul on the merch side to be kind enough to talk to us while we waited! We finally got a table and ended up waiting 15/20 mn to get a server. Wasnt too thrilled about that. Server was nice and informative on food allergies though. They have a gluten free menu available, but the seasoned fries weren't gluten free, needs updated. We got a burger and a pulled pork sandwich with green beans sub for fries. Overall wasnt impressed with the food specially for the price. Manager came to check on us and we ended up talking about music and tattoos! Memorabilia was interesting on the walls.

Danette Dollison-Johnson

The tiramisu cupcakes were delicious. I have been gluten free for 13 years and recently have cut back on sugar. It is nice to have some options for dessert.

Pamela Winkelmann

We arrived during a slow spell. Our server was polite and conversed with us while he took care of our orders. I’m allergic to wheat and have Celiac Disease. He put on fresh gloves, obtained a GF crust, which had its own tray, and knew to use ingredients from fresh containers. Overall a positive experience.

Kt G

The coffee is wonderful and the gluten free options are amazing!

Matthew Hayden

I go here several times a week. Chili Avocado Toast on GF bread is a go to. Vegan scramble is great, too. Don’t miss out on the dirty lemonade! This is a great little local cafe with gf options available. I don’t have such a severe issue that I need to worry about cross contamination, so I can’t say that it’s celiac safe, but it works for me!

Danielle Fuentes Johnson

As some with multiple, severe food restrictions, Lamara was a wonderful surprise. Almost everything is gluten-free, and I had numerous dairy free and mammal free options as well.

Terri Elder

Love these crepes! They are gluten free and have a great flavor and texture. The mango deluxe is amazing but they have a big variety of savory and sweet crepes. They also have a lot of drink options and they make it so easy to order and get points for free drinks.

Ryan Humphrey

This is such a standout good crepe place. Their Japanese style crepes were very flavorful, and super filling. I had the short rib crepe, and my wife had the gluten free smoked salmon one. Both were great, but the one that really wowed us was the GF creme brulee crepe with strawberries. This was amazing, and better than most any creme brulee I have had even without the crepe part. I will certainly come back here next time I am in town.

SS probably has the best "fast food" burger and fries!!! Especially the double cheeseburger. The bun is incredibly soft (and gluten free!) And the condiments are thick sliced and fresh, love the pickles. Plus, the crinkle cut fries are really good. I like that it's only potatoes and salt meanwhile mcdonalds fries have chemicals and a double digit number of ingredients. SS will be my new go to for burger and fries. I don't care if it's 2 dollars more than other places, the quality is far superior. Much effort (seemingly) has been made to ensure they use the fewest chemicals, preservatives, and poisons which is important to my family. Service was good, greeted with smile and no issues

Edit - I was a little disappointed at my last visit. The child's meal was expensive and not warm enough. It also didn't taste good- not even my husband liked it and he hardly ever passes up chicken strips. His sandwich was also pretty bland and not served fresh- it tasted a lot like something you get from a vending machine without much flavor wise. I had the salad bar which was tasty, but was disappointed in only getting one trip and not having much selection. I also didn't get a plate until tm after my family got n their meals, so they ended up waiting a long time for me to finish. I may go there by myself next time just for the salad bar but will get it togo for sure. Original review: This is one of my fav places to go for a healthy and filling meal. I love the salad bar and soups. They have vegetarian and vegan options. They also have gluten-free bread for an extra charge.

Averie Boutwell

We only waited like 15 minutes. Very good service. Food was amazing. Not very pricy either. 10 out of 10. You can customize your burger , hotdog, ETC. You can sub a gluten free bun too. Definitely recommend 👌🏻

Sistina

Love the atmosphere. Very clean. Our waitress Brittany was amazing and really took time with us to make sure we had a great experience. Their gluten free menu was also great with plenty of options. Also love that they have gluten free soy sauce. The fried cheesecake was also a big hit at our table. Definitely one of our favorite sushi places.

Martha Hancock

Excellent experience. Authentic Grerk, mediterranean food. Rack of lamb, potatoes with lemon, roasted, Greek salad, and a gluten free chocolate dessert with figs and cherries I think.

Craig Paretti

Perfect just perfect. Really appreciate the gluten free options

Emily Hamman

Good gluten free & healthy selections. Relatively quick and friendly service. Smoothies are large for the cost.

Elizabeth DeGrie Killeen

This is a great little place and I liked that that had gluten free options. However if you are sensitive or celiac I do not recommend it because there was a spaghetti noodle in my gluten free pasta and they were pretty lassiez faire about it. I don't eat gluten because it's a migraine trigger. I'm glad it didn't trigger me, but I wouldn't recommend chancing it. Tastes amazing though!

Christyn Randon-Bethune

Fresh. Inventive but not overpowering in the sense that the ingredients themselves are really honored in the dishes. Clean, very sweet staff (they’re not overpowering either but very helpful) and - big bonus for me, a celiac - there were literally no restrictions, save for a quick swap of soy sauce for tamari. I repeat: I WAS TOLD I COULD ORDER ANYTHING I WANTED. Ordering sushi is tough for a celiac between the sneaky omnipresent culprits of soy sauce and imitation crabmeat. I had a roll with crab in it and wasn’t poisoned for a week because it wasn’t faux crab! It was real crab! I could have cried! The 90’s tunes made my heart sing, along with the beautiful handmade ceramic dishes. I love everything about this place and will be back a bazillion times (probably).

I ordered a gluten free wedding cake and it was AMAZING, it was a huge hit

Kelsey Phelan

I drive between Louisiana and Texas occasionally. I have gluten-free and dairy-free dietary needs for intolerances and wanted a restaurant that would take care of their food. They were able to alter meals as needed for my needs. I was happy to see the care they provided for another table, who needed assistance with transitioning from their walker to their seat. I hope to visit again soon!

Kristin Rainbolt

The best gluten-free king cakes! They are the only ones I know who make gluten-free king cakes. I'm very thankful for that. Their other king cakes are also amazing.

Husker Florida

Have gluten free and lactose free options!!! Mango and blackberry were the best! Macaroons were perfect!!!

Bernice Morley

Kara Godfrey

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Ask for Turner! Tons of gluten free options!

Having savored the delights of Insomnia Cookies on numerous occasions, I've consistently experienced commendable service. While occasional understaffing issues were evident in the past, my latest visit during peak hours revealed a well-staffed team. However, logistical coordination seemed lacking, despite accurate order fulfillment. To elevate the overall experience, refining synchronization among staff could contribute to a smoother operation. Despite these logistical observations, the cookies themselves were a delight – consistently fresh and delectably tasteful. Insomnia's commitment to inclusivity with vegan and gluten-free options is noteworthy, catering to those with dietary restrictions. Admittedly, wait times can be extended during peak hours and concurrent baking sessions, but the allure of enjoying warm, soft, and freshly baked cookies is a worthwhile indulgence. In conclusion, Insomnia Cookies remains a top recommendation for its delightful treats, with a potential for an even more seamless experience through improved coordination.

Wow! What a fabulous find in downtown Lake Charles!!! Let’s start with the building - very nice historical brick with a huge patio front and a quaint indoor seating area and huge bar. Next the staff. We were greeted immediately when we entered by the most kindest and considerate hostesses who made us feel welcome and made us laugh. She also cared where we were located based on other parties so we didn’t feel cramped. Then the food for breakfast/brunch. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy and commented that they were the best he had! We travel extensively so this is a huge compliment to the chef! My steak and eggs were excellent. The steak was tender and juicy and very filling for 6oz. Our waitress was super sweet (we didn’t get her name but on the check her number was 504). She was helpful with my gluten issue and she also took wonderful care of us with prompt refills and making sure the food was perfect (which it was). Prices were excellent for the quality of the food and I only wish we were in town for dinner options. We will make this a dedicated spot for future visits and highly recommended to anyone looking for a full service and high quality restaurant in Lake Charles!

Bailey H

This place was fantastic! Terin was super helpful in helping me find a gluten free option not on the menu. The chef whipped up an incredible gluten free meal on the spot. Super impressed and grateful for the extent of their service. Most places wouldn't go to lengths like this for a "difficult" customer.
