Top 50 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Explore in Hawaii

Kelley Ward

Unfortunately, this is not a storefront that you can walk into like you would expect at a normally listed “bakery” on Google. Weirdly it has many good reviews but it doesn’t clarify this until you go to their website where it appears that it’s now currently a pre-order only business. It does not exist as a storefront at the address that’s listed… so don’t try to find it. you cannot just walk in and buy food. As it turns out on the website, it looks that this is a pre-order only sort of business. Which is too bad since Honolulu needs more gluten free bakeries!

This is hands down one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The quality of the espresso and milk are incredible. I ordered whole cows milk and my husband ordered the macadamia milk latte. Both very good. Don’t miss out on all their gluten free pastries and GF quiches. First day we tried the broccoli and feta quiche & mushroom bell pepper. Both gluten free but couldn’t tell. We came back the next day to order another latte and tried the GF blueberry scone. Again, couldn’t tell the difference of gluten free or regular. They also have a little water statin to pour your own cup. I wish they had a coffee shop like this in San Diego. Highly recommend this place.

My husband got the regular cinnamon roll and I got the gluten free with the cream cheese frosting added on the side. They were so yummy! Gf cinnamon rolls are often a disappointment but these were so good, we went back later the same afternoon and picked up 3 more gf ones to go to have for breakfast on other mornings. The lady that makes the gf rolls is so sweet! Thank you for such a wonderful treat!

Yummy! Best gluten free donuts I've had.

Chloe Turner

Friendly staff and lots of unique breads. Was pleasantly surprised to find lots of gluten free breads and treats as well. The Ube Loaf was amazing

Came here because a gluten free wrap option was specifically mentioned by the owners in these reviews. They do not offer a gluten free wrap so don't expect to get that here. They offer gluten free bread but not exactly the same when you are looking for a breakfast burrito. They also advertise online ordering with no options to select gluten free substitutes. Disappointed.

Michael McLaughlin

Great selection, couldn’t decide so got 7 things (!!) and all are so tasty. Favorite thus far Ube Haupia Coconut pie. Gluten free options are plentiful and appreciated. And it’s reasonable. Keep it up with the $2 brownie and cookie bars - us value shoppers say mahalo for your kokua.

I ordered a piece of cake and a piece of banana cream pie. The cake was far too sweet; definitely made to appeal to a child's palette. I liked the pie; though, it was heavier on the cream than it was on the banana filling; they need to work on their ratios. My partner had a gluten free whoopie pie and similarly found the filling to be far too sweet.

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

Luis

Great place very peaceful, the fruit, the pizza everything is good. Gluten-free fig pizza is awesome 👌🏽

Tiffany Rupp

You can't quite call us regulars but we've been here enough since the 90s to know we have to make a stop by here every trip. The pizza is fantastic. Love that they have so many gluten free and dairy free options. We came too late for bakery items but will return for them later.

We ate here on two different nights. Tristan and Zac were our servers and helped us navigate gluten-free options. They were both excellent and did a great job.

Rachel Overvoll

The best gluten free breakfast sandwich on island! Plus incredible staff and atmosphere.

Karen Gamble

Stayed in Paia and was able to walk to Mana Food Mart. Was shocked at how low their prices were. And they have the biggest selections. This was a huge deal for me since I am on a gluten free diet.

Atiyya Ali

I just love this place! First and foremost the staff is amazing, I came here with my 9 month old and my hands were full, and I believe the employee’s name was Daryl, he went out of his way to help me. I couldn’t have been more grateful…this isn’t off that one experience, I’ve been here nearly everyday for a month. The staff here is very kind, and the atmosphere is great! The coffee never disappoints, and being that I’m gluten free, there aren’t many options, but the ones I do have are amazing. Highly recommend their cappuccinos, and their gluten free almond cake, and their gluten free chocolate caramel dome.

Jake Crooks

Tucked away gem with gluten free cookies and sandwiches. A must try!

Pat Gray

I thoroughly enjoyed my gluten free pot pie! Call ahead if you plan to dine in.

Justine

This organic bakery is a treasure! They offer vegan and Gluten Free options. Don’t miss the delicious Vegan peanut butter cups. They’re also very creative with spices & coffee drinks. Enjoyed the Cultured Vegan sandwich on house sourdough w/ vegan cashew "cheese", carrots, cucumber, tomato, onion, bell pepper, lettuce & sprouts. ♻️ Eco-friendly packaging & composting on site 🅿️ Parking Lot

April Bielefeldt

For the chocolate Lava Vegan cake made in Kauai with all natural ingredients and gluten free too! Moist since many "healthy cakes" end up being chalky. Did not try anything else. But a coconut cake would have been purchased too if she had it. Need a small cake for 2 check her out

melissa holzworth

Gluten Free banana Bread is sooooo amazing!! Worth the trip!!

Trish Hardy

Best coffee we had in Maui! Gluten free bread too.

Susan Holmes

Great place! Gluten free bread but no pastries.

Jules Scheibner Murillo

Cute Coffee/restaurant. Very nice people (Jacklyn) and other staff. My breakfast sandwich was delish..I chose gluten free bun and had the local juice..not too sweet and tastes fresh. Great views of the ocean and great wifi

Paweł Kamiński

A lot of fresh local fruits! I see many of them for the first time in my life. You can also eat hot sandwich there and drink some delicious smoothie. There is also a gluten free bread available with no additional charges.

Gluten-free & dairy-free chocolate pono pie is my favorite dessert on the planet! I was so pleased to find out it can also be shipped to the mainland. My order of 4 fresh pies arrived in the middle of Montana, chilled, in record time and in great condition. With shipping it was expensive, but we’ll worth every molecule. Mr. Cadman said these pies freeze well. I wrapped 3 of them in Saran Wrap, then in aluminum foil and placed each in a ziplock bag.

We had a slice of the ‘ulu banana bread at Bean About Town, Kaimuki. When we asked if we could buy a loaf, she told us about the brick and mortar store in Chinatown. The baked goods are sold inside Po’ai, which is a coffee + other N/A drinks and handmade crafts by local vendors. It’s a cool place but we were there to buy loafs of the ‘ulu banana bread. This is hands down the best vegan gluten free banana bread! It’s fluffy, not dense like most GF baked goods and it’s so flavorful without being overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookies are crunchy (not a fan of soft, chewy cookies) and delicious! We bought a lot as gifts to give to our non-vegan relatives to try.

Great authentic spot with gluten free snacks & very kind knowledgeable owners.

1st Visit: I ordered Loco Moco with hamburger but received pork. No worries, it was decent, and they were slammed (full parking lot). My partner had the Chicken Papaya salad that lady at the register recommended since she has a gluten allergy (not a preference) and had asked for recommendations. The lady gave a short "well off the top of my head" slightly rude response, which seemed odd, but we brushed it off. My partner absolutely loved the salad! So much so that we had to return! I also want to mention that the wait was reasonable and the restaurant was well kept and clean. 2nd Visit a few days later: I grabbed a Burrito at the Taco shop that shares the same building (excellent choice BTW). My partner got the Papaya salad at Hana Hou again and simply asked if there was anything that needed to be left off for it to be gluten-free, again because it's an allergy situation and she wanted to double check if it had to made differently since she specified GF prior. It's quite common for the GF option to have an ingredient substituted or left off. Since it's an allergy, we always specify that to make the restaurant aware so that it's prepared correctly. The same lady from before again seemed agitated and gave a snarky response about it being GF already. Like eating out with a food allergy isn't already tough enough. Being treated poorly for asking a simple food allergy related question is simply unacceptable. The parking lot was empty and we were the only ones at either restaurant.. so it's not like she was flustered during a busy rush or something. Both times, we were kind, so the rudeness was one-sided for no apparent reason. We literally gave her the benefit of the doubt since it was busy the first time. We will not be making that mistake again. I wasn't going to leave a review as I don't like to leave negative reviews on small businesses. However, after two similar negative experiences and seeing the negative reviews from others, the rude attitude appears to be common, which is honestly just unfortunate. Based on the numerous complaints of rudeness, along with the unprofessional responses to negative reviews, I suggest someone else deal with the customers and review responses. It'll be better for the customers and the business in my humble opinion. 2 out of 5 for the delicious Chicken Papaya Salad Aloha ✌️

BEST ICE CREAM I've had on my life! And they know which flavors are gluten free

Kiki Lee

They have the best breakfast options for gluten free people. :) They always have gluten free bread available. I highly recommend the Veggie egger. Always fresh!! The cinnamon dulce coffee is really nice. They also have the best Chai around in my opinion. & if you want to dine in, they have a beautiful lanai over looking a nice view of greenery and the ocean. ❤️✨️

Lakota Dahlberg

Girls at the sushi counter were just awesome. Asked if we could get a veggie sushi as my wife has celiac disease (cannot eat gluten) they had already closed down for the night. (Did not tell us.) came back 10 mins later and they were super sweet and made us 2 veggie dishes. They made a pregnant woman very happy!!

The coffee, my 12 ounce Americano m with two shots, standard dosage, was fine. There are also some baked goods, including one gluten-free choice, a lot of merchandise, and non-coffee drinks.

A'eloa Pool Service

Definitely no Gluten Free friendly! Im allergic to Gluten, not bad like Celiac disease but I do end up looking like Hitch in the movie when he had his reaction. I had the Thai Lettuce wraps, and boy did I pay the price The next day!The sauces have gluten. So now I look like Quasimodo 😞 My hubby's Fish Tacos tortilla didn't taste like OG Corn tortillas, so I did a little research when I got home, turns out there is flour in their corn tortillas, and also their corn chips are dusted with flour . Also their artichoke dip has soy sauce which has gluten. Gluten allergies are a serious concern. My friend and her 2 kids ended up in the hospital because the paper take out containers had gluten! Not from this establishment but, just sharing to show how serious Gluten allergies are. I used to love Cheesecake Factory, but now that I have developed allergies I don't think it's something my health can afford to gamble with. There should be some guidelines to alert us about things we assume are gluten free, like corn tortillas or lettuce wraps. Besides that, the service was great!

Carolyne Craven

Wonderful place to stop, eat delicious gluten-free brownie and enjoy the lovely surroundings!

Alyssa McClain

Such a cute little place. Have great baked goods and even a couple of gluten free options! Been stopping by for 25 years and have never been disappointed.

Aakansha Maheshwari

They are constantly cleaning and sanitizing this store. Hats off to the staff! The selection is great. Kona gold rum cakes are excellent and also the CookKwees maui cookies are a must try! They have many vegan and gluten free options!

Maya Shb

Amazing coffee shop, with a beautiful wheel, the coffee was so good. The cone was good and also the almond blueberry cake which was gluten free was so good. That was my favorite.

Daniel Moffett

If you have a family of 4 shop for 1 week you will need at least 200$$?, Or go to Times MCULLY. IF you want peanut butter no gluten etc, I found what I needed, but the price was 22$$ for 16oz, of course times apologize for the price increases, I should be grateful for the food!

Bea Feliciano

I went in for a few baking ingredients but so many items were on sale that i could always use, from cat food to green tea to gluten-free bread, I ended up with at least 3 times more stuff than on my list. Too bad I only brought 1 shopping bag with me. You can always find good bargains here! And the staff is so friendly and helpful, too!

Stephanie Nakanishi Crisafulli

Always clean and well stocked, lots of Paleo and gluten free options.

Leona Hemmerich

We were only on Kauai for 6 days and made 4 trips to the bakery, trying a number of their delightful treats. After consuming a bag of their sweet potato cookies, we decided that was the perfect gift to take home. We absolutely loved their coconut macaroons and the cheesecake, returning on one trip just to get another. Their sweets are real, made with butter and cane sugar and often with gluten free almond flour. If you are in the Lihu’e area, this is a must stop. We had chosen to buy food in a grocery store rather than eating out, but their sweet treats made it a requirement to break that rule to get their delicacies.

Hanna Byun

Great place to take a break from hot sun and shopping. This shop has a lot of dessert options from gelato, waffles, crepes to smoothies and coffee etc. Price was reasonable :) They do have vegan and gluten-free options.

Trisha Oksner

The BEST, most knowledgeable food allergy friendly place in the two Islands we visited. The first time I didn't feel worried about gluten contamination or lack of options. I would've bought so much more but we were getting on a plane home. DEFINITELY stop by this food truck!!

Isabel Romeo-Biedma

Saturday 10.30am was very busy but the line moved fast and we found a seat without a problem (parking needed some patience though). Coffee was good, and THEY HAVE GLUTEN-FREE brioche made of almond flour that was DELICIOUS: flavors, texture and sweet enough but not excessive. The place itself is beautiful and full of history, their mission is significant and the service was friendly and helpful. Definitely will go again.

Maui Healing Retreat

BEST Cookies EVER! It's hard to believe these babies are gluten free. I am thrilled to have found a perfect cookie I can eat. I am excited to give them out as gifts knowing the love and yummy ingredients that went into them.

TK Bush

So happy we stumbled on this business for our recent event! The cupcakes were delicious and Tara was very accommodating to our requests. Will definitely use for other events and for corporate gifts during the holiday season. As an aside: they make very tasty gluten free cupcakes too!

Meliesa Tigard

Found the vegetarian, vegan and organic options we buy stateside. Gluten free, as well.

Diana Engelhardt

Bringing in more and more great choices in organics. Great organic produce and a lot of vegan and gluten free choices in many catagories.

G MAXX

Lots of organic and gluten free options with brands you recognize. Veggies and fruits always fresh. Great local vibe with lots of omiyage for last minute parties or trips to Oahu. Never heard of a Spencer steak until I saw them here!

Master Diver RJ Byers
