Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Maine

Mom Greenwich

This restaurant is the absolute best… Safe, good friendly… I can’t say more positive things about it. Anyone with celiac or gluten sensitivity shouldn’t walk there you should run!!

JA Shaw

Love this place. Highly recommend a reservation. We couldn't get a reservation but got take-out & ate at their picnic tables! Saw many people go in and immediately leave because Sinful Kitchen was full up! Their are allergy aware & have many gluten-free & vegetarian options. Our group had the Monte Cristo, a fav, 2 different kinds of eggs Benedict- classic & crab, strawberry waffles, & corned beef hashvw eggs. I also love the BBQ jackfruit. We are not nearby but try to go at least 2x a yr.

Erica Marinaro

Definitely a dive bar. Menu was clearly labeled GF. The French fries were great!

Murphy Ammann

Super friendly people great gluten free and dairy free options. I’m not celiac but they asked great questions and would check if they weren’t sure of an answer.

Jessi Parker

Gluten-free HEAVEN. Make sure you stop here. You will be so happy you did.

We visited Portland for the weekend and really enjoyed Orange Bike. We had someone in our group who has Celiac Disease and after hearing about Orange Bike we made our way over. Great beer, great people, and a great gluten free lobster roll. We even bought some cans to go.

Pet friendly and GF! Very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. Many options. Food was delicious!

Kimberly Padgett

The. Best. donuts! If you’re also gluten free- Those were the best I’ve ever had!

Domonique

Great service. They have gluten- free lobster rolls! The lobster was okay.

My review is about their gluten free options. Cannot comment on their gluten filled options. To sum it up, I am a late in life celiac sufferer. Went over 35 years enjoying gluten and all the wonders of eating it. Then suddenly, my body decides to flip the switch, and I cannot process gluten. I am asymptomatic, in that my body kind of shuts down if I ingest even the tiniest microscopic amount of gluten. That being said, I usually don’t even bother with fancy doughnut places like this because they usually don’t offer gluten free options. But I was on a day trip to Portland with the family, and my wife is always on the lookout for gluten free things for me, and this place is highly regarded. Plus, when we got to Portland, there was a huge long line around the corner. Kind of peaked my interest, especially considering I am also allergic to seafood, so I cannot even enjoy the other thing people enjoy in Portland, lobster. So family enjoys their lobster lunch, and before we leave the area to move on to our next point of interest, I get in line to grab a few doughnuts. I mask up, given that it is a doughnut shop, and given I can be have a reaction from just even a speck of flour in the air, better to be safe than sorry. Line has shortened by this point, so the wait is not too bad, only a few minutes. I get up, order my doughnuts. A chocolate sea salt, a cinnamon sugar, a lemon, and a cherry. All gluten free. We get into our car and drive away. Big caveat here I need to mention, given my allergy, we never have anything wheat based in the car to eat, due to my allergy. All snacking in the car is gluten free, to make sure I do not have any reactions while I am driving. When my family eats anything with gluten, they wash and sanitize their hands thoroughly afterwards, and if they get any on their clothing, they change. Yes, my reactions are that severe. So I eat the first doughnut, no problem. We get to our next destination. Take photos so the tourist thing, blah blah. Get in the car, drive to next destination. I eat the second doughnut. Drive to next destination. Take photos, do the tourist thing, blah blah. You get the idea. Around 4pm I eat the 3rd doughnut, the lemon gluten free. I am driving, on the highway, suddenly, I start to get that contaminated feeling. My stomach starts churning, I start getting horrible heartburn, can’t stop having gas being expelled from both ends, and my body starts to ache all over. I have to pull over to the side of the road, since there is no exit close or amenity area close by, and I have to expel everything from my stomach as fast as possible, in the hopes that I can avoid a full on gluten contamination sickness. Thankfully I did avoid most of it, I am just suffering from body aches and mild brain fog right now. Needless to say, contaminated gluten free food is why I am giving 1 star for the food. I would give negative stars if possible, because making customers sick is, well, never a good thing. However, service was great, employees were friendly, and everything else was fine.

Meredith Reed

Great options if you are gluten free!

Jessi Parker

This was hands down, the BEST fish and chips I have EVER had (even better than London). Highly recommend!

Megan Stowe

It made me so happy to have gluten free fried shrimp and french fries. My husband said his clams were great and the non gf blueberry cornbread was delicious.

Chris Moulton

Service here was amazing! This gluten free bakery has got to be one of the BEST things I have ever had before! The service here is very good and I must say they are really nice employees. I hope to come back to this place over the weekends and even tho it's expensive all it matters is that it's the best in town! Also, thank you for everything you guys do for the brunswick area teen center! I go to the teen center alot and I have some of the granola deserts and I LOVE them alot. I liked the two boston cream donuts and the smores bar I had this morning. Again thank you guys for everything and I can see this business being the best ones in town!

Lisa A

By far the best gluten free pizza dough. So good I doubt it’s gluten free. They will bake on foil and so far I’ve never had an issue. My go to when on the east coast

Brien

They are incredible bakers. They have never let us down; they're magical in creating delicious gluten free foods.

It was very busy when we went in, but all the staff members were kind, friendly, and accommodating. The food is excellent. My husband got coffee, which came in a carafe…very efficient and convenient, thank you. My hot tea came in a smaller carafe/pot, which was obviously only used for tea…so there wasn’t a coffee taste at all (thank you!!). It kept my tea very hot which is also so great. I noted the vegan and gluten free options, which is so wonderful to see. I do not need GF food, but people I care about do…so it is lovely to see it offered. I also enjoy vegan food, though I did not get that this morning (I’m vegetarian, so again, it’s great to see vegetarian/vegan options). Their attention to detail is what made it so great. And the decor in their restrooms/water closets were entertaining lol.

Jessi Parker

Delicious lemon donut!!!

Sara Kush

So good! I have celiac and got the nachos and brisket sandwich with the cheesy fries while my husband (not gf) got the pulled pork dinner. Everything in our order was marked gf and it was delicious. I didn't get sick! Definitely coming back if I'm up here again!

Barbara Gulino

Great food, great vibes - a wonderful lunch and a really good gluten free bun for the lobster roll! A total win for me!

Rebecca Lo

Delicious vegetarian and gluten free food. Always a challenge to find somewhere that offers both vegetarian and gluten free and Green Elephant delivers. I had the summer rolls, super fresh and light. Then the Thai green curry. Tasted wonderful and also felt healthy. A treat. The chocolate orange mousse cake looked amazing as well. Very nice staff as well. Highly recommend.

Dave

Normally when I get gluten-free dairy-free or vegan foods, it's a compromise for something that I actually want. That was not the case at lovebird. I would happily stop here as my first choice

Darlene Mccarthy

Great place! Excellent service! Daniel was great and the gluten free options amazing!!!

Yosaku in Portland, ME, is a gem for authentic Japanese cuisine. I've been a patron for the last 8 years, and their Teuchi Soba, a gluten-free noodle made from 100% buckwheat flour, is a must-try. Unlike other soba that often contains wheat, Yosaku's commitment to quality is evident. With new ownership, there's been a subtle shift in taste, yet the restaurant maintains its excellent atmosphere and flavors. Their sushi and sashimi selection is extensive, including weekly specials. If you're lucky, you might even get to try their Otoro. For fish lovers, their Hamachi-Kama (Grilled Yellowtail Collar) is a delight, offered at a very reasonable price but in limited quantities.

James Callaghan

Amazing that I haven't posted on Google yet. The Lucky Pigeon is one of my favorite places to spend time on this earth. Not an exaggeration in the least. We don't live close and I always lament that I cannot get there more often. But, it is always wonderful when we do. The owners might be the nicest people on this planet. The beer is phenomenal. The brewer Scott is a genius. I have celiac disease and went a decade without drinking draft beer. I was incredibly emotional the first time I was there. To be able to have anything on the tap list and order a flight was something I never thought I'd ever be able to do again. I still get this anxious and excited feeling every time we enter the tasting room! The best thing: The beer tastes just like really good traditionally brewed beer. I'm told by others who don't have gluten issues that they feel better after drinking it. What a remarkable product! I look forward to my next visit the minute I get home from my last! Check this place out, all! Cans are available in Massachusetts and Vermont, also!

Great lobster roll. Very helpful and friendly staff.

CC McGinn

I literally ordered 2 stacks of the blueberry gluten free pancakes and neither survived. And these were not skimpy stacks. They were the perfect treat to have on my birthday. Delicious coffee and so many other yummy pastries and gluten free options! I would go here every morning if I lived in Maine! Absolutely incredible!

Atmosphere, staff, and food were all amazing. We are a gluten free family and usually limited menu choices - Not here! There was a wide variety of gluten free items on the menu! We ordered the fish and chips, fish sandwich, braised short rib, cottage pie, and pickled onion rings. All were amazing! The batter for the fried items is always gluten free and items fried in a separate frier.

Lisa A

Yummy gluten free grilled cheese. The godmother was vegetarian and quite tasty. Tomato soup was good - salty. Maple lemonade was a treat

Troy Halm

Great place for Gluten Free options as their batter is gluten free! Super nice people and great food. They offer indoor seating if needed. Their fries are some of the best I've ever had.

David Stock

One of the few seafood places that you can take your gluten intolerant friends! Very good seafood!

Ray Bernoff

As someone with celiac, I felt very taken care of at The Bakeshop! I was excited to see gf focaccia -- a rare treat -- and the cashier Corbin went out of his way to check which of the gf baked goods were oat-free for me. The portions are huge, which is also uncommon for gluten free food. If I lived nearby, I would go here all the time!

This is a spot worth checking out for both locals and tourists! Bite Into Maine has three locations including this one, in addition to a trailer at Allagash Brewing and one at Fort Williams. This was my first visit to this particular location and enjoyed it! Located in a great location with lots to do within walking distance but be sure to come here for their lobster rolls or what I enjoyed the Lobster BLT. It comes on a delicious grilled buttered ciabatta roll with delicious lobster atop a classic BLT. Bacon being the perfect level of crisp! On the side you will get a serving of chips. Staff were friendly and after ordering you get a beeper that will let you know when it’s ready. They got plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if the weather is nicer. Also to note for those who cannot handle gluten this is a great spot to check out. And even better for those you can go enjoy gluten free beers at Orange Bike Brewing and checking out the special Bite Into Menu gluten free menu located all over the brewery to enjoy a beer and bite without concern of gluten!

Nathan Sawyer

Gourmet gluten free pizza 🍕

Heidi Raphaela-Alamosa

I have been going here since moving to Maine in 2020....not because I am medically gluten free....just because it is great stuff! I try to stop in just for a muffin but usually come away with a lot more! Lots of creative variety, side by side with the old standby--delicious blueberry muffin, in case you're not in the mood for the fun rotating unique flavors. I am not telling my favorites because I want some to be left when I get there! LOL Nice staff, very talented baker who must work very hard!

Sydney Robinson

Let me start by saying I have Crohn's disease which has led to me needing a gluten free diet/lifestyle. Pizza has been a rocky road ever since going gluten free because nothing has really been worth it. However, this pizza may single-handedly be the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. We helped a friend move into their new home this weekend in Portland and ordered Portland pie co for dinner after we were all done moving. It was the best decision ever. My boyfriend and his friends are all gluten lovers - they got a garlic crust with cheese, pepperoni, caramelized onions, pineapple, and burnt ends and they all LOVED it. Bonus points for the side of hot honey that they drizzled over the pizza. The two gluten free friends in the group (me included) got a pizza with half feta, pepperoni, and broccoli and half feta, pepperoni, caramelized onions, and green peppers. I am so sad my boyfriend and I live in Boston, because this would be a constant place we hit up for pizza. The pizza was nothing short of perfect and may just land as the best place for gluten free pizza in my heart. My boyfriend rates the gluten pizza as a 9.5/10 I would rate the gluten free pizza as a 10/10 easily. We can't wait to return to Portland for more pizza!

Peter L'Esperance

Excellent gluten free seafood

Prasad Ramamoorthy

Really great find in the heart of Bar Harbor. Super considerate about our gluten allergy and vegan preferences. The smoothies here are to die for. Try the PB J smoothie. Loved all the food and the ambience was terrific. Not crowded even during the holiday long weekend.

Vanessa Weeks

Great service and great food! Wonderful gluten free options for Italian food.

Sylvia Tapley

Recently, we went to Mason's in Brewer because I have Celiac and they have a lot of GF items and are consistently good. Our waitress was informed of my diet and we ordered a brussel sprout appetizer to begin. She quickly brought out the order and another waitress rushed to our table as we were raising our forks to our mouths. She told us the soy sauce was not gf and that we shouldn't eat it. Her intervention saved us (especially me) from getting sick. We could not thank her enough and our waitress apologized profusely. Within 5 minutes the chef, Jeremy, came out and was so supportive and interested in making things right. This is the first experience in a restaurant where I have felt someone really cared. That is seldom the case in my experiences. We live 40 minutes away on the coast, but it's worth every mile, every gallon of gas to eat there. You guys are amazing and I so wish you'd open a place on the Blue Hill Peninsula; there's nothing that compares. God bless Jeremy and thanks to you all.

Kelsey Babcock

Really nice casual lunch! We ate outside and looked out at the water. I got a lobster roll with old bay fries (delicious!) and my partner enjoyed the fish and chips. All their fried items are gluten free which was super exciting for my partner! Not sure it would work for someone with celiac’s but it was perfect for us.

Daniel Cox

Incredible food and atmosphere. Broad gluten free options, and incredible service by Cassidy B. Thank you!

WilliamN Peach

This is our "go to" Chinese restaurant. Excellent food. Plenty of yummy gluten free options. Great service. Very easy to order. Zen's has been providing us with an exceptional experience since we came to Portland about 5 years ago.

h Madison

We absolutely love it here! My husband is gluten-free, and they have so many delicious options. Food is always really fast, and HOT!!

Robert Cohen, Real Estate

Wild Willy’s Burgers in York, Maine is a must try whenever you are up in this area. The menu is wonderful comfort food and incredibly fresh. With gluten free options, this restaurant is much more inviting than many other places. From March until early November, this is definitely one of our favorite restaurants every time we come up to York, Maine. Enjoy, Robert.

Laura Bea Lamb

I'm almost tempted to move to Maine so I can visit this amazing GF cafe more often! What a treasure! The cinnamon roll was incredible. The sausage roll... Amazing. I bought a whole loaf of GF sourdough bread for $13! My husband bought a couple more goodies for later. Oh, also, the Vietnamese coffee was perfection. The prices were incredibly good for such amazing gluten free goodies. DEFINITELY VISIT!!

Halle Bloom

Delightful experience! I stopped here last year when traveling and made Sticky Sweet my first stop back in Portland this summer. Every flavor is delicious and owners are lovely. 100% Gluten Free.

Kiera

Not only was the food fresh and the absolute best I've ever had, but their gluten- free selection is elite! My eldest child was able to have a calzone for the first time in their life. The service was friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a top tier, relaxing dining experience. Will definitely be back.

The Mt Katahdin was delicious with a good amount of toppings. A family member was ecstatic to get a gluten free pizza crust AND vegan cheese that actually tasted great! It’s really tough to find places that can accommodate wheat & dairy free. The staff were friendly and helpfully packed extra napkins plus hand wipes for eating on the road.
