Top 8 Gluten-Free Spots for Bread Lovers in Geneva

Angela Spaeth

The entire bakery is gluten free & they take precautions with other allergies as well. Everything is AMAZING! Every time I go I usually get 1 of everything thats dairy free/vegan (and gf of course) and I am never disappointed. The owner/head pastry chef, Lorena is so sweet! She will make your vision come to life for custom orders!

The visit was a mixed bag. It is nice they have a gluten free dedicated fryer for my wife's dietary needs. The help was friendly and inviting, and the food was tasty. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the order. We found the crispy cheddar curds had more vegetables than cheese curds and the portions were not consistent as our party of 4 had considerably less food than the party of 2 had next to us (served at the same time at the bar). We saw another order about 20 minutes later, and it was the same amount as our neighbors (a mound heaping over the bowl at the bar as well). We all ordered burgers, and my daughter's and my burgers were mixed up (fortunately we caught it before eating) and neither of us had the pickles as stated on the menu. Additionally, my burger was over cooked (previous reviews we saw heralded how cooking temperature was spot on). They did take it back, remade it, and it was fantastic. The menu is very limited (8 entrees) so one wouldn't expect the various mix ups. Is it worth a shot coming here again. Yes. The staff and food is good, so I will consider giving it another shot.

An absolute gem. If you have a gluten-free diet, feel confident here. I dined with a group of 6, and I was the only one who needed gluten-free options. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Even my friends, who ordered non-gluten free dishes, loved everything. The drinks were excellent, but the food was beyond amazing.

Always busy here for a good reason. A great cheap option for a quick lunch! I love their vegan and gluten free options as well. So glad we have a McAlister’s here!

This place is AMAZING. The food menu has vegan and gluten free options that rival most high end artisan restaurants in Chicago. Crystal was literally the nicest person we have encountered in food service in the last 5 years. Top notch place with a forward thinking menu and brilliant synergy between their ethos, brand, and food. Everything is aligned in the best possible way. Also one of the only places in chicagoland that has oatly soft serve.

As someone who’s hereditarily gluten sensitive, I was happy to hear in depth about their gluten-free options. Thanks!

You have to try their smoked chicken sandwich it is delicious. They offer gluten free bread and have amazing sandwiches as well. They will even deliver if you place an order of at least $30 dollars. This helped me out when my kids we're sick and my husband was out of town for work. Love this place.

We recently had Josef’s cater a funeral luncheon (yes, they do that!) for 65 people. The delivery and set up process was seamless and the food was delicious! The meat and cheese tray was a huge hit with the kids and everyone absolutely loved the Italian beef sandwiches! (You have to try the beef-it’s by far the best around!) My kids and I don’t eat gluten and I was very impressed with the gluten free choices! The portions on everything we ordered were very generous-we are going to be eating sausage for days…but we don’t mind because it’s amazing!!! Special thanks to Pat for answering all my questions and to the team who came in when they were closed just to accommodate our Monday funeral. We are Josef’s fans for life! Thank you!
