Top 50 Gluten-Free Vegan Havens Across Maryland

Lucas

Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying for dessert too - butter chicken was fire, and that gluten-free cupcake? Unreal. Definitely coming back.

Excellent food and desserts. Entirely vegan and gluten free. Very friendly staff and cute location.

Christine Thielman

Wonderful server, delicious food, safe for my daughter with celiac. Really a treasure of a place.

Love this little restaurant in Bethesda. They have delicious sandwiches for both the gluten free eaters and the "regular" eaters. Highly recommend the crab cakes and the gelato is a must have.

Deborah Bowe

Gluten free! No inside seating, so if you are buying a hot and ready item you'll be sitting outside or in your car to eat. Took someone with celiac there, they got to have their first chicken tender, churro, and onion rings in years. They were delish, with a lot of flavor in the breading.

Abriel Mauerman

Went off the reviews others left about the gluten-free crust. As someone with celiac, quality GF options are far and few, and this place is now on that list. Yall, the crust is really that good! You don't feel like you're missing out just because you have to eat gluten free! You can order to-go and not get the first and third course.

Had great experience in this bakery w/Rockville Vegans for two different events, Matzah Pizza and the Cake Decorating Competition! The food is all gluten free and items that are vegan as well as dairy free are each marked in different colors on the menu which is very helpful for different dietary restrictions. Jamie, the owner, is very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend!

George Wells

Cozy Spot with Great Food and Vibes Loved my visit to Golden West Cafe! I had a hot chai latte that really hit the spot, and the High Mesa polenta with chorizo and an egg over easy was delicious. They were super accommodating with my gluten-free needs and brought out corn tortillas without me even asking. The vibe is laid back and comfy—perfect for a relaxing meal. I’ll definitely be back!

Rosemary Earley

Wonderful place with great food, and a great variety of food to keep everyone happy including folks wanting to eat healthy. Vegetable/vegan/gluten-free etc. options. Amazingly helpful and friendly service from Mr. Keith who accommodated our tight schedule and difficult modifications - and was able to make our kids laugh. Loved it!

Having several food allergies, this was easily the most seamless, delicious, healthy dining experience I had. There were plenty of amazing options. I got the gluten free air-fried chicken parm with squash spaghetti noodles, a lemon tart, and a lavender matcha latte. My husband got blueberry pancakes, steak&eggs, yogurt fruit parfait, and we split a strawberry arugula salad. The dessert and drinks weren’t too sweet and the food was yummy. Our waiter Craig, did an amazing job making recommendations on items to try. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to go out to eat while making conscious health choices, actively trying to avoid inflammatory foods and seed oils, or with food sensitivities/allergies.

Delicious crepes, chicken, and waffles! The gluten free crepe was perfect. You couldn't tell it was gluten free. This is a friendly neighborhood spot that should not be overlooked.

I don’t eat gluten or dairy and assumed I’d once again be stuck eating nothing but fruit and bacon, but boy was I wrong! The menu is carefully labeled for the most common allergens, and I had plenty of safe options to choose from! I got the gluten free cinnamon danish pancakes with strawberries instead of the icing drizzle. GF pancakes aren’t usually the tastiest, but I took a chance. Especially since the waitress said they’re even tastier with the cinnamon danish stuff (which is IN the batter), so I took her advice. And OMG, they were delicious!!! Also, a manager came out to check about allergens- apparently the griddle they use for the GF pancakes is completely GF, but they do make chocolate chip GF pancakes so there’s some risk of dairy cross-contact. That’s ok for me, but I was really impressed and grateful she checked. And I think she said the whole kitchen is nut-free, which is pretty cool. My kiddo loved his (full-of-gluten-and-dairy) waffles, and we both really enjoyed our fancy mocktails. All in all, I’m very impressed, and I was so grateful we could safely (and deliciously!) partake in this very quintessential Baltimore institution!

Amy B

Very friendly people, beautiful building, delicious drinks. All of the food is gluten free, but also delicious enough for everyone to enjoy.

Lora Davis

Full gluten free menu! I tried gf fried chicken sandwich and loved it. The bun held together and was not gritty. There must be a bit of heat in the gf batter but it was delicious. No bacon for me but added pickle slices. I can't wait to try more gf dishes here The waiter was great

Jeneen G

Beautiful place tastefully decked out with authentic Mexican art and design. Brought and airy. Cozy neighborhood restaurant. Great service, great food and gluten -free by default. They also have a vegan menu

Szabina Taylor

Love this gem. The food is so delicious and the smoothies are out of this world. Everything is organic, vegan, and gluten free. This place is a must try even if you don’t have dietary restrictions. This is because the food is fantastic!

Pamela Abramson

I’d heard a lot about this restaurant and finally took my family there for Father’s Day lunch. Meh. Food is fresh but bland. And pretty overpriced for what you get. An appetizer of parm fries is $7.50 and we got maybe a handful. There’s a $6.50 up charge for gluten free crust pizza that’s on top of the regular price pizza for a 10” pizza! Yes. $25. That’s a lot. The crust was chewy but bland. The toppings were fresh but bland. No real flavors like herbs or garlic on the pizza. No olive oil to dip bread in. Just meh.

Dr. Jennifer Gebelein

Cypriana was terrific. We had a birthday person with us and they made it special (see Picts), the food was great. Specifically the chef’s hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had! Seriously, I could’ve eaten that alone and been happy. The branzino with lemon was excellent and light. The chicken with lemon potatoes was perfect for my kid, the grilled octopus was nice and tender-had a slight Smokey taste and the portion size was enormous. The grilled eggplant was another lovely dish, although that reduced balsamic drizzle on top was so delish I could’ve used more! The had a gluten free pita which was excellent, and the wood roasted olives was a “to taste” item. I did not care for it but the rest of the table loved it. The service was great, drinks were generous. We had a very good time and will be back!

Hillary Gorson

Great diary free vegan milkshakes. All the Gluten free breads is vegan. The food was delicious and the staff very accomidating to my food allergies. Only diner I've ever had a fulfilling meal at with my allergies

Kimberly Jackson

I’ve been wanting to try Alma Cocina Latina since I moved to the area and last night I was finally able to! 5/25/25. Thank you to Kanae, Mauricio, and Kez! You guys made a great impression and a wonderful experience in addition to a great meal 💜 Shout out to the chefs and line cooks. I can tell that these dishes are carefully thought out and curated. Everything I ate was delicious. Since it was my first visit, and was excited to see so many gluten free items, I wanted to try different dishes! Also, Punch like a lady was soooo good and compliments the food well! I’m a line cook myself and I don’t get to have food cooked for me often, so anytime I’m able to, it’s greatly appreciated. I will be returning, Thank you!

Kelsey Kramer

Best chicken fajitas ever and really yummy gluten free options! As a celiac, I have never gotten sick from here in the last 2 years I’ve eaten there!

Laura Bagley

Great food and service in a fantastic location. So many gluten free options! Our server, James, was knowledgeable about the menu and super helpful in explaining all the gluten free options available to us. My husband LOVED the beef stew: great flavor, plenty of beef. My salad was huge and fresh, no wilty greens. We split an order of fish and chips, made gluten free with specific batter and dedicated fryers. The batter was SO crispy. My husband ordered the creme brulee with whipped cream and fresh berries for dessert, and it was AMAZING. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to a return trip.

Christopher Moakler

I love BIBIBOP. I have celiac’s disease so finding restaurants is really difficult. But BIBIBOP is 100% gluten free! I love their food especially some of the new things they recent added to their menu.

Grace Moore

Excellent food and service! It was very busy when I visited since the farmers market was happening outside, but there was still plenty of tables available. There were also board games to play upstairs and water near the seating. The staff was very friendly and takes allergies very seriously. The employee made sure to tell me about the gluten free options and how they avoid cross contamination. I also heard them explaining what items did/didn’t have dairy to other guests. The food and coffee was very good, and I will definitely be coming back to try more!

Maxine Silverman

I recently visited Truefood, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I was particularly impressed by the variety of options, catering to both health-conscious eaters and those with specific dietary needs. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just looking for something light and tasty, Truefood has something for everyone. Overall, Truefood is a top-notch restaurant that I highly recommend. If you're looking for healthy, delicious, and beautifully prepared food, this is the place to be! I'll definitely be back soon

Maddy Easley

Love this spot in Hyattsville! They have great gluten free and vegetarian options. My dining partner and I enjoyed the atmosphere, the service was good and the drink specials were delicious.

Lori Jayne

Everything is Gluten free and so tasty!

michael kearney

Great vegan and gluten free options. Ask for the vegan menu !

Kathleen Chaney

My daughter cannot have gluten or dairy and she loved the cupcakes we got!

Kat Alstavo

Came here for the first time a few days ago, and the service and food was so good that we came back today. We came in around 11am and were immediately asked if we wanted to see gluten free, vegan, or brunch menus. They sat us down and our server, Kellen, brought everyone water without us having to ask for it. He was so friendly and took our order (party of 4) without writing anything down so i was a bit skeptical. We each had multiple very specific modifications with our food, so I didn’t think he would remember them, but he got every single detail right. Was funny, friendly and warm, and got us boxes and the bill at an appropriate time, and refilled drinks as soon as he saw they were slightly low.

Gabrielle Rodriguez

Always impressed by the fresh and creative weekly specials! The staff is incredibly friendly and well-versed in dietary restrictions… there’s no shortage of delicious gluten-free options! Mark is the friendliest bartender 🍷, and Luca is a thoughtful owner who ensures every visit outshines the last. A true neighborhood gem! 💎

Christina Young

Food was delicious. Loved that they could offer gluten free options.

Boning Ma

This Chinese restaurant's gluten- free meal is my only spot to eat , this Chinese food is my favorite. I drove a long way to get here to eat the food

hodan

Amazing healthy food and priced well. Great option for my fellow celiac family. Dedicated gluten free facility.

Grace Moore

Great place for breakfast and lunch! The employee was very helpful in explaining what menu items could be modified to be gluten free. Very generous portion sizes as well. I will definitely come back for dinner and to sit in the outdoor patio!

Jason Pettrey

Needed to find a good local gluten-free spot near University of Maryland – this one came up and really hit the spot. We ended up doing dine-in one evening, and then did delivery the next evening. Their bowls are simple, but they’re extremely filling and delicious. They have lots of different options that you can customize so it doesn’t feel like you have the same thing twice, even though there were only five or six main things on the menu. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you have a gluten allergy.

James Chastain

My whole family loves going to Silver Diner! The menu is far better than what one would typically think of as diner food, though the variety is in line. Some of my favorites include Old Bay fried shrimp, country fried steak and eggs with gravy, or a club sandwich and fries—but I'm basic. 😁 I did try my first bibimbap dish there, and it was delicious! The seasonal chef specials always offer something interesting. They're also great about allergy awareness, with lots of gluten free options and delicious lactose free "milk" shakes. My little kids love their Kid's Club layards (and we love earning rewards like free meals and desserts). The kids have collected dozens of the humourous novelty pins to hook on their lanyards.

Ropiequet “Ropiequet”

This was just what we were looking for for lunch! My girlfriend has a few food allergies, the biggest being gluten intolerance, and man did this menu have options for her! Normally going out, there's only a few things, most salads, but here she had so many choices, it was great to see her torn between what to get! She got one of the stir fry, and said it was one of the best she's ever had! Food aside, the service was fantastic! This place always looked busy, and today seemed to be another case of that, but our server Linda was on top of it! Going from table to table with ease and confidence, having amazing customer service, and was just overall great! Pretty easy to say we'll be going back :D

Jonathan Pevey

Took my girlfriend for her birthday. She has Celiac. The menu options were plentiful. The food was excellent. The staff was attentive but not intrusive.

Kathleen C. Lanza

Amazing gluten/dairy free pizza...highly recommend!

Annika

The food was Great!! They have a great option on gluten free. The portions are good. The atmosphere is very nice

Mark Robinson

This is a review both of this location and for the recent changes in Bibbibop’s menu. My wife has a gluten allergy and we have loved eating at Bibbibop for years. But since you all removed the signature bowls from the menu and haven’t provided instructions for your employees to re-create them when requested we are seriously considering never dining here again. Fine if you all want to change up your menu, but don’t get rid of the things that were on the menu that people loved and want to order again! That’s just a stupid choice to make as a business! And this particular branch of Bibbibop was pretty disappointing with the portions they gave us, and the fact that the employees who were working the line didn’t know or couldn’t remember how to recreate the signature bowls I was asking for and so we got pretty pathetic variations of the bowls and very small portions of them. I also asked them to be very light on the yum yum sauce for my dairy sensitive daughter’s bowl and they drowned it in sauce. Then when I asked for siracha sauce on mine they left it off completely. Please Bibbibop, fix your menu problem and even if you don’t want to list the signature bowls on your menu, give your employees instructions and guidance on how to still MAKE the signature bowls!

Vanessa Douyon

Best Gluten Free Pizza I’ve eaten

Julie Riddle

Gluten free larrydelphia pizza. Sssoooooo good

Hillary Blaney

I am so excited to have found this place! My youngest daughter is diagnosed Celiac Disease and so cannot have even the slightest bit of cross contamination in her food or she'll be sick. On Christmas Eve I called to see if they had a dedicated gluten free fryer (my girl loves fries!). I was told no but the man, Jason, who turned out to be the GM, encouraged us to go anyway because they have such an extensive gluten free menu. I'm glad we gave it a try! When I arrived Jason told me he decided to make a gluten free dedicated fryer in his kitchen and had already started it up to be ready for my daughter's fries! On top of that, the staff were all lovely and the food was *amazing*! Jason, if you see this, thank you again! It's rough for a 13 yr old with Celiac Disease; your kindness made a difference! We will be back!!

Danielle Wagner

Great gluten free crepes! Can make any savory or sweet gluten free except chicken teriyaki and beef.

Angel Laurie

Great service, great food,I love the vegan and gluten-free options. For someone allergic to wheat that also doesn't eat meat it is usually very difficult to find good food. This diner has several options for any time of day. Definitely impressed and I will definitely go back!

Jon Williams

The food was amazing and our waitress, Mariah, was phenomenal! My wife loved the amount of gluten-free options on the menu. 10/10 would recommend!

Danielle D

Quick, efficient and cozy restaurant with great service and even better food. Clearly marked gluten free items on menu made for an easy ordering experience with knowledgeable staff when asking about gf items. Super accommodating with kids menu and plastic ware-very family friendly including kids menu items.

Christy Allison

EarthTones fits the bill when you need cozy seating, vegan and gluten free meal options, and a gluten free/vegan cookie or muffin to satisfy a sweet tooth. The atmosphere is gorgeous, featuring a beautiful porch, a wall of pothos, and a view overlooking a gorgeous creek/pond. Seating is a mix of old wooden chairs, an old couch, a rocking chair, etc. Tables are either old (to match the house) or really cool reclaimed wood and resin with coffee beans inside them. I LOVE that the reclaimed wooden table from their former location has a home on the side porch! 😄
