Top 50 Gluten-Free Places for Bread Lovers Across Maryland

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.

Libby McClayton

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!

Amy Price

The Corner Pantry is a Baltimore gem with thoughtfully curated and creative selections and amazing gluten free breads and pastries. Everything on the menu from coffee to savory to sweet options simultaneously evoke comfort and decadence. Their holiday pies are also a staple for my family's festive menus, and whenever I visit, the staff is warm and inviting. On days when you need a little extra joy in your life, I highly recommend visiting TCP!

Oh my dear beloved Burtons, This is our go-to restaurant as a Celiac family. Any event, celebration, etc, we are at Burtons. Unfortunately, the Riverdale location is going off of our list and will be returning to the Alexandria location. When I say we go for all the celebrations, I'm not joking. Yesterday was the worst experience we have ever had at any restaurant and it was brunch on Father's Day. Mother's Day was fine. We were there. No issues. But, Father's Day was a diabolical disaster. If this was our first experience, which I fear it was some people's first time, I would never come back. Let me start by saying, the serving staff was amazing. You could tell the kitchen was falling apart but they were trying their best to hold the front of house together. I am going to repeat that we were there for brunch so when I say there were no water pitchers or food was unavailable, you know it got worse throughout the day into dinner service. Why advertise specials that you don't have? My husband and I both ordered off the specials menu. Appetizer sold out (at brunch.. yikes), main course was unrecognizable. They didn't have mashed potatoes, which were part of the dish. The sauce was missing from the chicken, and the chicken was more like Jerky. Needless to say, I took my meal home and didn't eat it. I was offered french fries at the end of my meal when I was informed there were in fact no mashed potatoes cooked. I took those home too. My daughter also ordered chicken that she didn't eat because hers was also a dried out jerky form. I will say, the waitress did comp a piece of chocolate cake, but after spending $150 on meals that 3/4 of us didn't eat, I decided you need to do better. In this economy, $150 for a family of 4 to have brunch comes with a certain expectation and you failed. Like I said, our family adores Burtons and we know what this restaurant is capable of and a busy brunch isn't an excuse to lose customers. I can only imagine what a mess dinner service was when you were running out of food by lunch time. Poor management destroys business. Do better. You have a strong reputation to uphold in the allergy and celiac community.

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.

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

L G

We had a great experience here. My wife is gluten free and finding accomodating restaurants can be challenging. The food was excellent. The service and atmosphere was warm and inviting. We will certainly be back

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.

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

I was at a local coffee shop when I spotted an oatmeal cream pie from Gluten Free Bakery Girl — I literally froze. I haven’t had one in over 12 years since being diagnosed with celiac disease, and this instantly brought me back to childhood. I couldn’t resist. Y’all… it was SO good. The texture, the flavor, everything about it was nostalgic and perfect. I devoured it before I even thought to take a proper photo (all I’ve got is the empty wrapper 😅). I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but this was 100% worth it. Can’t wait to try more from this bakery. Thank you for making something so delicious and safe for people like me!

Food is good and I love their gluten-free chocolate chip cookie and it's a new design and feels welcoming. Servicing is typically great, I don't prefer to be seated outside as the service can be touch and go. Overall a great local place for me to go and love that they can make most of the dishes gluten free.

michael kearney

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

Abriel Mauerman

If you have celiac disease, you can feel safe eating here. A manager will come and talk to you and communicate your allergies and concerns with a chef so you can get what you want. Im usually just concerned with gluten and tree nuts, but they will take anything you have into consideration. And the GF bread options for their sandwiches are awesome. AND and, the hash browns and grits are GF! That's rare.

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!

Emily Morgan

Very gluten free friendly! I felt very safe eating there with my daughter that has celiac disease. Our food was amazing and the drinks were yummy. Having a playground there for our wild child was amazing. We loved sitting in the sand and listening to music. We got there at 430 and had zero wait. When we left closer to 6, the line was insane. Definitely recommend going a bit early. We will definitely be returning!

Bethany Butler

I really enjoyed my food and drink. My family was not as impressed. I had an Irish coffee with a club on a gluten-free bun. The sandwich had a huge amount of turkey, and the bacon was nice and crisp. It came with a lot of chips. I needed to ask for mayo as it only came with a small smear of Dijon. One kid had the same on a pretzel bun and enjoyed his as well, but also said his was dry and added mayo. 2 kids and my husband tried the mac and cheese. They all said it was mid. It was explained as sticky and dry. It was not creamy at all. The crab mac seemed to have cheese on the top and bottom but not the middle. One kid said they tasted the crab in the mac, and the other one said they couldn't taste it at all. She barely touched her meal, and we came in hungry! The thing that brought the rating down the most was my husband's meal. The ceasar salad did not have enough dressing to even speak on the flavor. The rack of ribs maybe had 2.5 ounces of meat. That "rack" was about as big as my husbands palm. It was one of their higher priced dishes and was totally disappointing. The barbecue sauce was an afterthought. It was smeared on and not even put back into the oven to caramelize. My husband also had some wine that he said tasted like box wine. One kid had fish and chips. I tasted the fish. I thought it was pretty good. The batter could have been lighter. The inside was a little mushy. Kid didn't really eat his meal. He had half of his dad's mac and my chips. But that worked out. My hubby was able to substitute his lacking meal. One kid had nachos. He enjoyed them and almost finished. This is from a kid who complains about nothing. A true gem in this world! All in all, for the price, we felt "mom could do better." In fact, my husband said he could do better. In all fairness, I love being in the kitchen and have about 20 years of making things from scratch, but it hurts when we spend $250 and are not satisfied. The service was great. Atmosphere was bar like. Food was only there to soak up alcohol if you had 1 too many drinks and had to beg the kitchen to turn on the fryer 30 minutes before closing.

Maybe it was an off night for them but I'm not sure. Made a reservation online for our anniversary dinner, with a comment that will need a gluten-free menus. When we got there, we couldn't hear the hostess over the music, and when we did hear her she confirmed if we needed gluten-free menus and we said yes. When we got seated at our table, we were provided with regular menus. When our waitress finally showed up about 10 minutes later, we had to ask for the specific gluten-free menus. Waitress was courteous but didn't see them often, only about 4 or 5 times over an hour and a half-ish we were there. We also had to specifically ask for more water. The food was fantastic. We got the GF Crispy Brussels Sprouts, which we both highly recommend getting, the GF Gnocchi Carbonara and the GF Red Wine Braised Short Ribs. Both of which were perfectly cooked. But once again the service, from even the start, was a big let down.

Lawrence Potts

Lunch after a great morning hike. I had the Belfast Bistro Steak sandwich with fries. It was messy and delicious. Great variety of beer on tap. Great gluten free options too.

Sadie Marks

Mindpub is home away from home. The food is amazing (especially the gluten free which honestly is so good, it’s hard to find gluten free in Federal hill that isn’t insanely expensive for no reason) the staff are great and know a lot - especially when asking for different recommendations. Coffee is locally roasted down the street! If I moved away - I would ALWAYS make sure to come here first when I visit

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!!

Danyale Kellogg

My friend and I had a late lunch while seated at the bar today. I have celiac disease, and the bartender got me their gluten free menu and went over some menu highlights with me. He was really great and made me feel very comfortable ordering here.

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!

Candace Anderson

I have celiac disease, so finding a restaurant with safe and delicious gluten-free options is always a challenge. I'm thrilled to say that Sobo Cafe has exceeded my expectations every time. Their gluten-free entrées are amazing, and most importantly, I've never gotten sick here. My partner and I went on our first date here back in December, and we've returned twice since then. Tonight was wine Wednesday $25 a bottle. Each visit has been fantastic, from the attentive service to the flavorful dishes. Sobo Cafe is a gem for anyone looking for reliable and tasty gluten-free dining. Highly recommended!

Delish and healthy! Luv the ambiance. And extra stars for the variety and Gluten Free options. They always accommodate our dietary restrictions and allergies. We feel very safe coming here.

Ted Putnam

GLUTEN FREE!! Staff is amazing - we are here at least once a week.

Mary Sanphilipo

Nice gluten-free menu

Janna Keenan

What a cozy, cool cafe. My girlfriends and I grab breakfast and lunch here often. Fabulous food! Flaky crusted daily quiche packed with flavor at a very good price of $10 fans it is enough fir 2 people). freshly made avocado toast. Best ever chicken salad ( pecans,!). Delectable crepes ( savory and sweet), muffins, sugar cookies. You name it. Lots of table seating. Bar stools. Outdoor seating in ice weather. Large selection of teas and coffees. May vegetarian and gluten free options. Cool gifts and mugs.

Jared Boardman

Great food (wings are great) as well as a very good gluten free menu for my wife. Worth going more times for her safety ❤️

Devin Ryan

Amazing food, phenomenal service, very good with allergies (especially gluten free)

Jen Reilly

Ordered takeout: burgers for 3 people and crab dip appetizer. The server didn't check that all items were added to my bag. The crab dip hadn't been added. Fortunately, I checked before leaving. The server quickly and politely retrieved the crab dip. The burgers were VERY good. Choice of healthy sides was very much appreciated! I got steamed broccoli that was good. Gluten-free bun on my burger was great! All-in-all, and very positive experience.

Cornelia Cooper

Lawrence Potts

Great breakfast before taking the Jeep on the beach. I had the chicken and biscuit breakfast sandwich with the chorizo gravy. My wife had the gluten free cinnamon roll pancakes. Very delicious, great view and everyone was friendly. First time, great find!

Rolf Schmidt

This used to be a haven for us as hove to eat gluten free. The waiter informed us that they have changed the procedures, and are now breading in this facility. Thou the friers are no longer dedicated. No more gf fries. The waitress was courteous and helpful. Corporate changed the procedures and left us gf out.

Vernell Holbrook

Matthew Brandley

Excellent gluten free pizza. Best ever hands down.

Rob Clancy

Very good coffee, I find their espresso based options especially good, nothing is overly sweet (I've had Almond Joy, hazelnut, and another I can't remember). The chix salad is very good, breakfast sandwiches have lots of options for cheese and protein, and they serve the best gluten free roll I've ever tried. The only minor negative is the eggs for sandwiches are cooked in the microwave, they are tasty nonetheless. They do a very brisk order online-n-pickup business and I actually love it. I wish I lived near this terrific local coffeehouse chain, but I was visiting the area for several weeks and visited the Annapolis and Crownsville locations multiple times.

Anthony Oliva

Tammy Horn

Disappointed in the new menu. This used to be my trusted gluten free and good restaurant. It’s hard to find good gluten free food in restaurants. The ramen has been taken off the menu, ok maybe it wasn’t popular enough. But now the crab cake is no longer gluten free and the Gluten free bread has a different texture. No sure when we will be back as we aren’t impressed with the changes in one of our favorite places. And the parking lot is a mess.

IVY C

We had a great meal here! We were a party of 5 on a Friday night and the service from Shannon was great! We started with their monthly wine special which was a steal at $35 for a reserve bottle of Montepulciano. I am gluten free and was offered housemade GF bread that was literally some of the best GF bread I have ever had. The menu also had many GF choices including salads, entrees, pastas and desserts. I chose Chicken Marsala with GF penne and it was delicious! The others at our table had lasagna. Chicken Parm, and a seafood pasta. For dessert, we had carrot cake, coconut pie and lemon dessert that was GF and the table favorite. For 5 people, bottled wine, salads, entrees and 3 dessert it was under $200-great value!

Jaime Bell

Nice variety of gluten free options. Attentive staff and nice atmosphere.

Brittney Borrero

Caters to my gluten free needs. Always a nice experience. Been going here for years with my husband. Definitely recommend

Michael Tomlin (Mike Bikes for MS)

I went gluten free about six years ago and one of the food items that always falls short is gluten free rolls for subs. That was until I found out Jersey Mike's had gluten free subs. I went to this location based on a friend's recommendation and wow! Their gluten free roll is awesome. I got the chipotle chicken, which was amazing. It is very filling so be careful ordering a full instead of a half.

Courtney Long

As someone with celiac disease, I appreciate the precautions they take to ensure the lowest possibility of cross contamination and still make me a delicious gluten free cheese steak sub 😋 thanks for caring and thanks for the meal!
