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!

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.

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!

Best gluten free muffins!

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!

After experiencing the magical Forest of Lights winter wonderland in Quechee, VT, my wife and I decided to cap off the evening with dinner at Tuckerbox, a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant in White River Junction. We booked a reservation for 7:30 PM, and though parking was a bit challenging due to what seemed like an event in the area, we eventually found a spot close by and enjoyed a short walk to the restaurant. The ambiance at Tuckerbox was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and a cozy, elegant vibe. The staff was attentive and welcoming, which made for an exceptional dining experience. To start off, we ordered the Turkish Meze Platter (small, $14.99) - a perfect choice for sharing. The platter included a delightful assortment of haydari, hummus, babaganoush, Turkish salsa, stuffed grape leaves, and lavash bread, with fresh veggie sticks for a gluten-free option. Each bite was bursting with authentic flavors, and the variety made it an excellent introduction to Turkish cuisine. For dinner, I had the Lamb Stuffed Eggplant (Karnıyarık) ($22.99) - a beautifully fire-roasted eggplant stuffed with seasoned ground lamb, tomato, red pepper, onion, garlic, and parsley. It was served with rice pilav and a refreshing yogurt cucumber sauce. The dish was rich, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the recommended Angora wine. My wife chose the Lamb Meatball Güveç (Köfteli) ($23.99) - tender grilled lamb meatballs cooked with tomato, mushroom, onion, pepper, and eggplant. It was hearty and delicious, and the Angora wine complemented it beautifully. For dessert, we shared the Tahini & Helva Brownie ($9.99) - a dark chocolate brownie stuffed with Turkish helva and topped with a marbling of tahini. Served with crème fraîche, it was a decadent and unique finish to our meal. Tuckerbox exceeded our expectations with its fantastic food, charming atmosphere, and excellent service. We highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine!

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.

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.

Ellen Stavropoulos

Delicious sandwiches with gluten free options.

Beth MacConnell

We were so lucky to find this Bakery at a farmers market in Vermont. It is the best gluten free bread that we have found anywhere in the country. We travel the country so it is wonderful that she can ship the bread to us. My favorite is the raisin cinnamon; my husband loves the Sourdough Multigrain. Lemon Poppyseed bread is also delicious.

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.

What a fun place..and busy. I am writing this because of a cookie. Thats right, a cookie...the absolutely best cookie my hubby and I have had EVER! We are in our 50's and traveling around the US in our RV. We took a day trip to Woodstock and stopped in here, and my husband, who doesn't like sweets, said let's get the dark chocolate cookie (gluten free one in their case). That cookie was so good we made a special second trip out to get some more. Its that good. Get one of those and nibble on it while you're shopping the rest of the store as they have some wonderful fresh items.

Leigh Saslow

We booked Sweet Birch for our wedding this month. We got a small cutting cake and an assortment of desserts. Communication was great. The cake turned out exactly how I envisioned it, tasted even better! They even had options for my guest who were gluten free. Everything was so delicious. Highly recommend!

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).

Grace A

Stopped here after a sauna and had one of the best gluten free sandwhiches of my existence… the Junco was on a GF bagel and was packed with homemade onion jam, bacon, arugula and cheese. It had the perfect crunch of the bagel and they asked if it was allergy vs preference and were thoughtful about contamination. Great staff. Absolutely recommend stopping here

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.

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!

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.

Michael

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!

Marna Ehrech

Great store. Lately I've been picking up sushi and rolls from the special counter where you can watch it made fresh. Inexpensive, I'm in and out and bring my son the carpenter lunch so we can visit on his break. Great Gluten Free and non-dairy options, and many local VT products!!!

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.

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!

Emily Bradford

My new favorite bakery! I got a blood orange croissant, a warmed hand pie, and got my husband the gluten free muffin. The quality of the pastries were amazing, the blood orange croissant had really light but delicious flavors, I didn't know what to expect. The only thing that would make this place better is a larger seating area. I'll definitely come back!

Sheila Mills

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

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

Lara Nicholls

This cafe/bakery is the cutest place ever. When you walk in there is a warm and inviting vibe. I ordered a parfait bowl, muffin, and dessert which were all gluten free(because I’m celiac) The employees were super nice and helpful too. This was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had in my life!!! I also got a maple latte which was so good. You need to go!

Jill Kahn

The most delicious wedding cake we've ever had! We ordered two flavors from Jess (brown sugar maple and chocolate raspberry) for our September 2022 wedding and both were incredible, but I truly think the brown sugar maple is the best cake in the world. We had SO much leftover cake, but we don't mind because we've been getting to keep eating it! We took the last bit out of the freezer last weekend (besides what we're saving for our first anniversary) and even a month after the wedding AND after being frozen, it's still more delicious than the fresh cake we've eaten at other weddings. I am lactose intolerant and Jess accommodated that with ease for our large cake, plus killed it with delicious gluten free and vegan cupcakes as an option for guests with other dietary restrictions. Thanks Jess! Photos by Kelsey Regan Photography

Kathryn

This is a hidden treasure! The coffee and smoothies are amazing. I let them know I am celiac and they washed the container for the smoothie I ordered. It hit the spot! Additionally, they were honest with me about the potential of cross contamination (so I wouldn't get sick). I didn't order any food, but it looked delicious. Can't wait to go back!
