Top 21 Gluten-Free Spots for Bread Lovers in Downtown Boston

Amber Easterling

This is a Top 9 Allergen Free Bakery, which is hard to find. I really enjoyed the cookie dough cupcake and my sister had the strawberry french toast cupcake.

Our main reason for writing a review is Harold. Harold was our waiter today. It was PACKED and he must have been slammed with tables, however he was super attentive, made us feel heard and took priority in ensuring my allergy was accommodated for. His overall persona was just amazing. I would recommend to come here just based off of Harold’s service. However, we went for my dad’s 58th birthday. The food was great. Atmosphere was so great (never felt rushed, and you were able to hear each other and videos). They also had GREAT options for gluten free. All fried foods are gluten free, they have key lime pie, New York cheesecake and other desserts that are gluten free as well.

Dedicated to gluten free. The afternoon tea set was just like when I went to London (before I had been diagnosed with celiac). Amazing! Expensive, but so so fun.

Stopped in after the lunch rush, I assume. Was able to get seated right away, and the server came over pretty quickly after that. They have a gluten-free menu as well, which I did check out but ended up ordering from the regular menu. I got a burger with Swiss and bacon and the side of fries (which are more closely to potatoe wedges in my book) I generally like my burger meat medium well but I think it was closer to well, with a char to the outside. But otherwise juicy and flavorful. I was also fairly hungry at that point. Staff are friendly and ready to find answers for questions they don't know.

Expensive but really good. Great service and they have gluten free options!

Two guys working on Sunday afternoon. We walked in to a few folks at the bar and an empty set of tables. Didn’t look promising. We were pleasantly surprised from start to finish. The after show rush filled up the place in 20 minutes and the place got busy! The guys were humping, but did a great job taking care of everyone we saw in the place, despite looking short handed. Food was all good, solid pub fare. North shore roast beef took me back to Ipswich. The number of gluten free options was awesome to see.

My family and I went here the day after Thanksgiving as a special holiday trip since we live over an hour away from Boston and turned out to be the best place we could've chosen! I made a reservation through the OpenTable reservation app and when we arrived at the restaurant they seated us right away. The hostess was amazing as when we first arrived we didn't like where our table was placed, and then when we moved to another it was right next to the kitchen, where the music played very loudly. Not making an enjoyable place to order. Luckily though, the hostess was kind enough to move us a 2nd time to a booth and made sure we were all set and comfortable! I truly have never had that happen in a restaurant before but our hostess was so kind and patient even when it was very busy. She went above and beyond. After getting seated and finding a perfect spot for my family, our server Addison was kind and amazing. She made sure to give us time to decide what to get as it was our first time there and even went out of her way to make my sister and I a drink they did not have on the menu. My sister really wanted a daiquiri but couldn't consume alcohol at the time so Addison let us know she could make something for us based on what they had at the bar and was a lemonade base, which my sister wanted. She came back with a house-made peach lemonade and even added an orange slice garnish to give it the daiquiri feel and was so accommodating and went above and beyond! After some time of ordering our appetizers and entrees, Addison made sure to check in on us and ask if we needed anything even when it was super busy and a full house. Later after finishing our food and all of us requesting a to-go box, Addison made sure to get us the correct size boxes for our leftovers and even gave us a bag and willingly helped us bag up our food in a to-go bag provided by the restaurant. I rarely try new places during the holidays, especially on a Friday night, which is when we went, but this restaurant was an amazing choice and I highly recommend it! The dishes we ordered were super flavorful and probably the best restaurant I've tried in Boston when it comes to a simple American menu. It is such a family-friendly restaurant and very warm and inviting. I would be willing to drive over an hour again just to come back with my family and friends. Another thing I really enjoyed about this restaurant aside from the service and food is their ability to offer both vegetarian AND gluten-free options as one of my sisters is gluten-free while the other is vegetarian. The restaurant has so many options and took my sibling's modifications seriously. My gluten-free sister also reported that her food was very good, which is rare as a lot of restaurants we've tried do not have tasty gluten-free options/dishes. The photos down below show my family's order being; the Korean Sticky Pork Ribs, 2 BPH burgers, 1 Beyond Vegetable Burger, a side of the seasonal sautéed vegetables, and 1 Fish and Chips entree. Overall, if anyone ever wants to try something new with their family, or even go by themselves, I highly recommend this place and their Korean Sticky Pork Ribs and the Fish and Chips!

It was a great time. They provided gluten free rolls and regular to support allergies st our table. The lobster Mac and cheese was 56 dollars so I passed on that. Loved the cheesecake for dessert!

Really loved it. Had a pastrami sandwich on gluten free bread, which was unexpected and great. Bag of chips and a local side for a reasonable price. In The Boston Public Market, which is pretty good for lunch . Nice atmosphere, better food than the Hall around the corner. And this is one of the better places for lunch inside. Dude making the sandwiches has made a few in his time.. added to the “ambience”.

Jeff Fearnow

Great stuff but someone should drop some knowledge on the crew about food allergies. We had a laugh when we asked if they had gluten-free options: priceless responses. Food was good though!

Ritesh Poddar

Love Clover Labs. Everything is fresh and healthy. There are a lot of veggie options as well as gluten free and vegan options.

Anyone familiar with Quincy Market will know it is a madhouse. Ned Devine's gives you the chance to get away from the craziness and sit down for a meal. The food is pretty good. I loved the soft pretzel appetizer and the Ned Burger was great. It is a big burger too. The gluten free options are plentiful as the rest of Quincy Market sucks in this regard.

We absolutely love this place!!! My daughter and I are both gluten free and this is our first stop when we land in Boston!!! The gluten free pickles… are to die for! They have many options for other things as well however these are our favorite! We have had the gf Nashville hot sandwich on gf bun… the bayou pasta that’s gf… and so many more!! They are all fabulous!! They also have sweet potato fries which are the bees knees! Enjoy!!

great as always, could use more gluten free options as always. when i didn't know i had celiac, bbq seitan was always great

DEBORA TELEFONE

One of the best sandwiches in town! Simple, yet very tasty! And the best part: you can order it with a gluten-free bun for just $0.99 extra. The staff is very polite! I highly recommend it, not to mention it's located near an area with lots of shops...

I really like the muffins and the coffee. And Maria’s service was great. They just need to add some Gluten Free options.

Ethan Gooding

It's pretty expensive, but the sandwiches are so good they're worth it. The gluten free wrap works surprisingly well. I almost always get the Pastrami & Corned Beef Combo, and no matter what I order I get it grilled (which I think makes the wrap work better). There are huge lines at lunch, so I always order take-out. There are two lines, take-out and eat-in, and the take-out line is way way shorter.

Delicious and gluten free options
