Top 50 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Delight in Vermont

Lauren Erickson

I am not exaggerating when I say the citrus poppy seed muffin I had today brought tears to my eyes. West Meadow Farm Bakery has, hands down, the best gluten free baked goods I have ever had. The absolute best part? Their loaves of bread are actually sandwich sized!!!!! I cannot wait to make French toast with the oatmeal bread, and a grilled cheese with the white bread. Many dairy free options as well! Gluten free baking is expensive. There’s no getting around it. There are so many ingredients and components involved. This place is 100% worth the cost. I’m already spending $8 a loaf at the grocery store. I would rather pay $10 for a better quality product and support a small business. And the bread isn’t pre-sliced so I can cut it to my liking!!! I can’t wait to go back!

Stopped here on the drive from Stowe and got to take the tour! Really interesting to see how ice cream is made and they have dairy and gluten free options for those with sensitive tummies!

Jesse Gurney

The vermont veggie with salmon and no tomato on a toasted gluten free bun (important, don't skip the toasted gf bun) might be the greatest sandwich of all time.

Sabrina Dawn

I loved eating here! I found it a bit expensive but worth it. I love all the gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Ricky Padgett

Superior customer service; quaint space and the best breakfast food in Stowe. Several gluten free options-I had a crustless quiche that was the best I have had in a bakery and cafe. You will love this!

Nicole Davis

Gluten free bread options so its always a win for me!

Kenna Anderson

AMAZING food! I am gluten and dairy free and they were able to accommodate their breakfast sandwiches and lattes to my needs. The atmosphere is very homey and warm. The staff were so kind and very helpful/patient when I needed to customize my sandwiches. I definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Tina Smrkovski

We've been here twice, and the food has been excellent twice! They easily accommodate our food allergies, with a menu clearly marked for gluten, nuts, etc.

Taylor Parker

If you’re gluten free and looking to go to the cafe just save yourself the headache. The staff was condescending about the fact I asked for gluten free bread (when the company sells gluten free products), and the wrap they did give me was the most horrible thing I’ve ever tried to eat. Save yourself the money and the trip and skip this.

Nicole Van Hoey

Two stars bc my dairy/egg/nut allergy daughter was able to have ice cream here during her month-long stay in VT. No more than that, though, because B&J as a company haven't figured out yet that people with allergies often have more than one. Why make multiple dairy-free ice creams and add wheat into every one of them? It's beyond illogical. A simple dairy-free chocolate, or geez use GF oreos, and you are all set. Instead, there's nothing even at the VT locations for people allergic to two top allergens: wheat and dairy (notably, the two most common triggers of adult EoE as well, and frequently problematic for people with celiac also). Sorbet is not ice cream. Please don't use that as an excuse.

I never write reviews but this is definitely the best and my favorite diner i've ever been to. We stumbled upon this place while staying in Montpelier for a skiing/VT winter trip. I am gluten free by preference and I was happily surprised to see gluten free french toast on the menu. It's also made from local bread that they sell at the co-op. Absolutely delicious with the VT maple syrup they serve. The coffee also tastes really good and so is everything else we got every day we came (We loved it so much we came back every morning) The homefries are so yummy and the maple meats are insanely good. My boyfriend and I kept waking up excited to come here to eat for breakfast because it's so good and affordable. The staff are also so friendly and cute. Do yourself a favor and eat at wayside it's worth every penny. Places like this are hard to come by where we live so we are so grateful we found it. Will absolutely come back to Montpelier to eat here!

Christian Richards

Huge variety of bakery items, many of which are gluten free. Great coffee and excellent, friendly service!

Amanda Sutter

Gluten free eggs benedict was a pleasant surprise but somehow only got 1 poached egg instead of 2, and probably paid more for it (GF bread not marked on the menu). UPDATE: When alerted to the issue, they were very responsive and refunded me for the missing egg. Recommend checking them out!

Jillian Misrack

Incredible lunch spot with friendly counter staff and THE BEST BROWN BUTTER GLUTEN FREE SNICKERDOODLE I’ve ever tasted.

Violet Paley

Zoe was so nice! Super helpful for gluten free requirements :)

Christina Young

Love that they have gluten free and vegan baked goods options.

Ellen Stavropoulos

Delicious sandwiches with gluten free options.

Jonathan Metcalf

The gluten free whoopee pies delight my wife to no end. We order the minis for our wedding. That's how good they are.

Judy Bleecker

Food was so good and gluten free. I haven't egg benedict in almost 20 years. My non gluten companions all enjoyed French toast, pancakes, and quiche.

Gary

Awesome pastries 🥧 friendly people Great Organic food plenty of seating and gluten-free food as well I highly recommend!!!

Mallory Staskus

I used to come here for the savory biscuits, but now that I have had to make the switch to gluten free, I come for the GF tea cake and GF scone. Seriously impressive. You get to eat a breakfast treat that you wouldn't know was gluten free had it not been labeled as such.

Ryan Connolly

Everything they make here is exceptional, and it’s all from scratch. The breakfast sandwiches are fantastic, the cider donuts are arguably the best I’ve ever had, the croissants, the raspberry oat bars, the gluten free pumpkin bread, the homemade pop tarts - everything is absolutely delicious. The coffee and espresso is also great. Don’t skip this place on your way through Wallingford - or better yet, take a drive just to taste the best bakery in southern Vermont.

Dirty Souf Yankee

Delicious!!! I had the  jammin' BBST and added turkey and I also had a gluten-free carrot cake cupcake. They were both so fresh and yummy. 🤗 The staff here is super friendly and helpful. Awesome experience!!

Meghann Kelly

Amber was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding in September! She was so responsive and helpful leading up to the wedding, and so collaborative and willing to answer all of our questions, and provided helpful suggestions to assist in our planning. We wanted to provide an allergy friendly dessert bar for our guests as we had several who are GF, vegan, nut free etc and Amber was incredible with helping us to design a menu that fit these needs. I am gluten free myself and so our wedding cake was GF - Cranberry Chai - it was SO delicious, I am still dreaming about it. She also decorated the cake beautifully with pressed edible flowers based on pinterest pictures I provided. Amber was also flexible in creating a dessert that she doesn't have on her menu - apple crisp - and it was insanely good. Our guests raved about her apple crisp, brownies, and cakes! So grateful for her openness and willingness to help us execute our vision for our boho VT wedding!

Update 8/2023 Consider removing the “wrap” stickers from your window even if you haven’t had them for six month. This will prevent people from having to stop in to only be told you don’t have them anymore. Some people may want wrap or gluten free bread but the only option here are bagels. *** Always a good place to stop for a quick breakfast while on the way to work, traveling, or waking down Shelburne Rd. They have a big assortment of muffins as well and their drink cooler is always stocked. They have a decent coffee selection. Speeder and Earl’s and can make a few specialty coffee drinks as well. Their salad and sandwich selection is extensive. My only gripe would be that their wraps aren’t that big and they don’t really stuff them full.

Jean Milano

Easy to find GF food options. You can order a GF wrap from a selection of sandwiches that are all delicious! The bakery case often has GF options, and a couple of cookies that are amazing! They also get loaves of GF bread delivered twice a week from a dedicated GF bakery.

Amanda Sabella

It was a nice scenic drive and well worth it. They had serval options to choose from and some were even gluten free. My husband and I were both able to find several items and were ecstatic to see gluten free waffles which will be breakfast tomorrow. The place is small but packed with lots of goodies at a great price.

Serpentina D

Great cappuccino (smooth and not acidic) and great gluten free pastry options (brownie, almondhorn).

Mickey Morris

So good. Only place that usually has a gluten free option. So hard to find that in Barre! Only sad thing is they are closed Wednesdays and Thursdays right now.

Liza Hayes

What a great addition to the winooski community. They have some gluten free options too! The coffee is excellent and you can’t go wrong on any treat!

Kerry Ferrell

We ordered two cakes and two cupcakes from Starfire for our wedding. Not only was Starfire extremely helpful when it came to dietary restrictions of the guests (gluten, soy, and dairy allergies), but the cakes were unbelievable! I can't recommend this bakery enough - kind staff and delicious food.

Erica

They have the best GLUTEN FREE DONUTS and muffins and macaroons!!!! I'm picky with my GF sweets but these are way above and beyond, better than I could've ever imagined. All the staff is always so sweet and accommodating too!! Love supporting this place!

Michael

Sunflour Bakery is a wonderful little must-visit bakery/pastry shop just south of downtown Fairfax! We visited for the first time this past summer and were very impressed with the excellent selection of donuts, bagels, cupcakes, cookies, and so much more! They have a good amount of gluten-free options (which is always very nice) and their cinnamon rolls and maple rolls (I think that’s what they were called?) are MASSIVE! You can see from my pictures! The people behind the counter are very friendly and there is plenty of parking outside. We even saw they can makes cakes and pies for you, if you ask! All in all, awesome addition to the town of Fairfax - check it out!

Open, airy, casual bakery/cafe. Offers a nice variety of croissants and yeasted rolls. Specialty coffees offered at the espresso bar. Has gluten free options. Offers breakfast and lunch prepared sandwiches, yogurt parfaits. Wide variety of pastries. Also offers catering service. Quality bottled wine available. Food and service were great. I enjoyed a warmed ham and cheese croissant. I’ll be back to try some of the the other items on their menu.

Maia Lagerstedt

Great place! Delicious gluten free options (BLT was amazing!), nice selection of wines as well as general grocery items. One of my favorite stops whenever I'm in town.

Red House Sweets and Catalyst Coffee Bar are by far the ultimate combo - if you’re looking for some of the BEST pastries you have ever tasted as well as the best coffee anywhere in this whole area of Vermont, look no further!! Both places share the same space with separate counters, and you’re going to want to get things from both. Red House Sweets has an amazing selection of pastries and desserts, and many gluten-free options as well! I absolutely love the orange cardamom croissant - I don’t know what they do to make it, but it’s definitely in the top 5 best single pastries I have ever had in my whole life. I also love their kouign-amann as well!! These are both must-trys if you’re looking for something sweet. Honestly though, everything looks incredible. All the croissants, the focaccia, cakes, tarts, and so on would be so worth trying. I guess I gotta keep coming back to try it all!! Also, I want to give a special nod to the person working behind the counter. She was so upbeat and friendly and made the vibe of the place so much better. This place really is something special and I highly recommend visiting next time you’re in St. Albans!!! EDIT: We finally came back after waiting a whole year to come to Vermont - Red House Sweets was just as good as we remembered! Absolutely phenomenal place - this will be a tradition for us every summer! Maddy (I think that’s her name) was still there and still as awesome as she was last year. You need to come here!!

Brenda Forsyth

Huge sandwich. Gluten free bread. Delicious!

Amber Weston

By far the best gluten free chocolate birthday cake I have had anywhere in this entire country! I have been gluten free for 15 years after finding out I had celiac disease and I have never had another gluten free dessert better than the birthday cake my family got me from here! The rest of the family who is not gluten free also said it’s the best chocolate cake they have ever had (gluten free or not)! Cannot wait to try more treats from this bakery!

James Peebles

Mikey

The polenta with pork belly is one of my favorite things I’ve had in town. Gluten free and huge portion!

Carmine Forgione

Chicken Cesar gluten-free wrap with bacon was 10/10.

Olivia Sciarappa

I was elated to find a delicious gluten free treat to enjoy with my chai latte! The lunch menu looked great and the food coming out of the kitchen even better. I’ll be back to try one of their vegetarian options! Update 7/31 - My sister got a sweet and savory bun for breakfast and loved them both!

L. Mosher

The BEST place in Killington for breakfast or lunch sandwiches. Gluten free options are yummy too. Their hours are limited and they sometimes close early, so I usually call if it's within an hour of their published closing time.

Ryan McMahon

asked a celiac person “but are you going to the hospital” appreciate the warning? but could be a little more friendly to people trying to keep themselves healthy. diseases aren’t trendy or something to gloss over.

I called to order a cake for my daughter’s wedding shower. Mirabelle’s made MY wedding cake. I developed celiac, and my daughter has it as well: I asked if my original raspberry chocolate mousse cake could be made gluten free; they asked, were able to order me one very similar. I asked for a receipt itemizing what I ordered and when I would pick it up, since I was calling from out of state. After several hours, only a credit card charge. I called back and asked for an itemized receipt - asking for date of pickup and type of cake to be on the receipt. I then received a simple email receipt that said “open cake” and the charge. I called back, was placed on hold, and then disconnected. I called back AGAIN, and reiterated that I would like an itemized receipt with what I ordered, and the pick up date. I was calling 8 weeks out and wanted proof of my order pickup date and that it was the gluten free version. I was told they couldn’t do that on square and “I don’t understand what the problem is.” “We don’t make mistakes.” I asked for a refund because if they don’t see any problems with any of these interactions…..so much for nostalgia.

Sheila Mills

Always fabulous—great for ourselves, entertaining and gifts. New items often as well as seasonal. Gluten free available

Marilyn Garrett

Luc Morton

Most excellent scones! Light, almost no gluten development, so very tender.. yet moist. Real artistry. Very grateful to have been here on a day she is open.

Jan Jan Moon

Lovely bakery with amazing looking desserts. We did not have a chance to try the pizza. There were no celiac safe options for prepared food, however my party that is not allergic to gluten raved about the croissants. I had a maple latte that was super yummy. Everything appears to be made in house.

judith Edelman-Green

Went every day and wowed my family...each w their own choice including gluten free
