Top 36 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens to Explore in Boston

Meri Slaughter

I love this North End staple. They make a small selection of dairy and gluten free items daily - a coffee cake, chocolate chip cookie, and whoopie pie. Like everything else, they are available until they sell out. The coffee cake is my favorite! The cookie is not the best in town, but still good and I appreciate having the option. The whoopie pie is best eaten fresh. I appreciate this long-time establishment having some options for those with food allergies.

Lots of gluten free options!

Raena Woods

Delicious gluten free donuts! Friendly staff and great service

Sabina Sokol

I’m gluten and dairy free and was very excited about this place despite the mixed reviews. I got a brownie cupcake for $6 and it just tasted like extremely sugary dough. I was very disappointed and will not be coming here again.

Went here with my partner and his sister who are both gluten and dairy free. As many others have said, they are incredible with handling allergies. The siblings were so excited to go to an Italian restaurant and have plentiful options. They had the gluten free bread (more of a soft thin pita) with garlic oil, a pasta with meat, garlic oil, and veggies, and a gluten free pizza with various toppings (note they do not have a DF cheese). They said the meal was amazing! They also have a gluten free beer, which is always a hit when we can find one. I had the drunken lobster noodle which was sooo delicious. Huge portions and very kind staff. Managed to get a walk-in table on 4th of July. 10/10 would go again!

Amazing mexi food! The tacos were awesome and basically everything on the menu (besides dessert) is gluten free. We got a bunch of tacos to try and the guac, which was so flavorful and a decent portion size. Pork belly taco was the best imo, also so fun to try the fried fish (I was told it’s fried in rice flour/batter). Watermelon marg was delicious. They have outdoor seating, but it’s not the nicest views (street/parking lot) and indoors is a nice atmosphere, so I’d recommend going inside

Lewis Beynon

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.

I almost cried I was so happy to have a lovely afternoon gf and df tea with my kiddo! Absolutely delicious!

Crystal Hall

Food was delicious and waiters attentive. My mom loved the coffee. They have Gluten Free options including GF bread. Getting a table for two is much quicker (10 minute wait) than it is for a larger party. We went for brunch.

Grace Lee

Ordered ‘shroom burger (amazing), with spicy crinkle cut fries (way too spicy, even for a Korean), and Shake Shack burger with a gluten free bun (the gf bun didn’t fall apart, which is rare!). Lots of seating at this location.

Pictured is their gluten free bread egg and salmon sandwich that waa good. I loved this bakery. It gets very busy during the peak times but the lines seemed to move quickly. Because of how busy they are during peak times, seating can be a bit limited.

Better gluten free bread than most other places I’ve been. Very good service and very accommodating of food allergies.

Max Cooperman

The two workers there on 5/31 were super nice. Definitely ask for a sample if you don’t know what you want. I should note that everything is dairy free which was awesome to hear! I got the birthday cake ice cream which was delicious and also a 7 layer bar which was soooooo good and also gluten free. Definitely coming back soon!

Kerry-Ann Parsons

Really cool place, easy to do a takeout order. Lots of parking around. I had the Gluten free fish and chips with fries. Pretty good, but not excellent. I was glad to find gluten free, dairy free and soy free in Boston.

Great Gluten Free Vegan cupcakes.

Rick Leichter

Second time here, first since the pandemic. Glad we remembered because it's just as good. Tuesday lunchtime and not too busy, surprisingly but I think we just beat the noon rush. We got the Smokin' Jamaican on gluten free bread, the GF tiramisu and a cup of Joe. The sandwich was delicious, grilled in the panini press with some gorgeous grill marks. The overriding flavour is definitely jerk and mango chutney with the turkey being more background and I really enjoyed that. The tiramisu is tempting to look at (see pic) with professional layers and a beautiful whipped cream topping with chocolate shavings. Hard to believe it's gluten free. The coffee is really good if not a touch pricey but it's downtown Boston and there's a Bucks on every corner so they gotta hold their own. All told, $25 plus tip for a sammich, dessert and a coffee. Not too weird for 2025. See you on the road.

Had egg sandwich which was extremely salty and focaccia they used was cold. They give you a number plaque if you dine in, it makes you think they would bring it to you like tatte. They don’t, so I sat down while my sandwich sat cold on the counter… so why don’t they tell you to just wait by the counter? I liked them when I first visited them… not many pastries I wanted to try. Maybe it’s catering vegans or gluten free?

Arun SI

Wow, nice hidden gem right in the thick of things in Bostons market area and govt center. Food is special, great flavors and some unique grilled meat flavors that is not the run of the mill Thai restaurant. They have a gluten free menu of noodles, rice and soups. We did not have a problem ordering a gluten free and nut sesame free lunch. They accommodated very easily. Staff are nice and friendly and service is quick.

Went here for a lunch-dinner date after a hospital appointment and got steak to celebrate some good health. It was so good! Shoutout to the dedicated gluten free menu, which was very helpful. It’s not cheap — if you order apps and mains you’ll find yourself racking up a bill. I split an app (the gf buffalo cauliflower for $16 I believe) with my boyfriend and we each got an entree and a drink and the bill was about $100 after tip. But damn was that steak good

Katie Frank

If I could give this 10 stars I would. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I have celiac and I need to eat fully gluten free and I felt safe here. They marked up their normal menu with all of the naturally gluten free items I could eat, which was about 80% of the menu including desserts. It was delicious and made even better by being allergen friendly.

Carla P

You can’t miss this place! One of the best chocolates! Each of their options has a unique flavor that will make your mouth water. Gluten free options are available but very limited.

Erica Benedick

Delicious breakfast with great gluten free options!

Amber Easterling

I just attended a GF Thanksgiving here at Sloane’s. It was a special menu, but they do have a dedicated GF night once a month. Check with them for details.

No shade on Levain Bakery. Their regular cookies are excellent. And while I really appreciate that they include a wheat-free option, it is not very good. It's dry and has the fake flour taste. It's also not celiac friendly. I am only rating the wheat-free cookie.

Meredith Ceribelli

We took the dumpling making class today with Rachel and she was amazing!! She was so attentive and made it so fun. I’m gluten free and they were very accommodating. It was our anniversary so they also gave us free mochi!! Adorable

louis digiulian

truffle fries with truffle ketchup - this place is hard for dairy-free folk but vegetarian will have a great time!

Rob Dolci

Very good chain, plenty of gluten free choices, the cakes are...rich

Rachelle Coury

I ordered the lentil rice Mediterranean bowl with chicken za'atar. They substituted hummus for the walnut harissa due to my need to be gluten-free. This meal was absolutely delicious, fresh, and so filling!! If Eastern Mediterranean food is your jam, you will not be disappointed! So good! Just a not about the four stars for atmosphere: this restaurant is located in the Time Out Market food court so the expectation isn't high for atmosphere. That being the case, the ambiance is beer hall-eaque with subdued lighting and cocktails.

Tatiana Stone

Cute little hole in the wall (or ground as the case may be 😅) serving a blend of Thai and Japanese-American staples. I tried their hamachi nigiri, which had an excellent quality fish. Their fried tofu was some of the best I've ever had, except there wasn't enough of the sweet and sour sauce so it was a little dry. But the tofu itself had this amazingly crispy outside and cloud soft texture inside. Their fried tofu is gluten free and they GF soy sauce as well. Don't be alarmed, they label their gluten free soy sauce as "gluten".

A little cramped, but the food is pretty good. I’m celiac and i was so excited to learn they had gluten free cones :). for something gluten free they were very good! i got the yogurt flavor and tiramisu (also gluten free, all the flavors are!!!) and it was soooo good. sad to see all the bad reviews on the staff, it was very busy when i went but everyone who was working was very nice too me. they seem understaffed but as someone in food service they were doing a great job, i think a lot of the reviews come from people who don’t work food service… the guy who helped me (dude with all the piercings) was really sweet and was really nice about my allergy and was very helpful with making me feel like my food would be safe. so hard to find celiac friendly places in boston, totally coming back this summer :)
