Top 13 Gluten-Free Spots for Bread Lovers in Raleigh

Lynn Sanguedolce

This is a fun place to go with great gluten free options for Italian food. My server had celiac disease and was very knowledgeable. I have been here a few times and not had any problems here.

Dan Sheehan

This is a great spot for food allergies. My wife had a fried chicken sandwich which was gluten free and she was in heaven. I had their signature black bean burger and the jalapeno jam was very tasty.

English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have loved it every time! They are allergy-friendly, 100% gluten-free, and are willing to make accommodations. They have this vegan cilantro sauce that is phenomenal. I’ve gotten the vegan beyond arepa with avacados, lettuce, and Fritos. The rice and beans (the beans depend on who is making it; there have been some inconsistencies there), but everything else is good. I also love their fresh juices. The passionfruit one is my favorite. English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have always loved it.

Ask for the GF pita bread!

Hands down my favorite place for gluten free pizza! They are very accommodating to gluten free customers. Not only do they have gluten free pizza crust but they also have vegan cheese 😍 They have specific pizzas that can be prepared certified gluten free as shown on the menu. Some ingredients vary by location so be sure to double check. Sometimes I venture out and build my own pizza but I always verify which ingredients are safe. They also have individually wrapped gluten free brownies for dessert!

Shaun Provost

Their head chef is actually celiac, so very knowledgeable! The food is delicious and the atmosphere here is unmatched. As long as you share your allergies, they are very accommodating and knowledgeable in how to keep you safe!

Yikes. Don’t even know where to start. Long story short - don’t come here. We waited over an hour and a half for our food and after that we walked out. Never typically leave reviews for restaurants but this was an exception because it was so bad. I mean the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. We kept getting different excuses from the waiter and the manager. At one point it was that “gluten free pizza takes longer” (which has never been a hold up in the past at Mellow), another time it was “the kitchen made your orders wrong,” and the third time it was “the kitchen lost your ticket and your order hasn’t been made.” After over an hour and a half of waiting and the server asking us our order again and getting the order wrong on the ticket, we decided to leave. Manager and waiter never seemed to care that we had been waiting over an hour and a half, there was no sympathy or apologies, and they were rude. Exceptionally bad customer service. Other tables were waiting for their food and the food pick up section had a large amount of people waiting a long time too. So don’t count on pick up being timely either. Understand delays can happen because of staff shortage and busy hours, but the restaurant was half empty and tons of servers standing around. None of our group will be coming back. Highly recommend you don’t go here or if you really want Mellow Mushroom to visit the Cary or Durham location.

This was my first visit to Bad Daddy's. I have Celiac disease, so gluten free options are extremely important to me, and it's a real treat for me to have a proper burger-in-a-bun rather than a lettuce wrap, even if it is a GF bun (they tend to fall apart without gluten to hold them together; no fault of the restaurant). My burger was delicious; I'll definitely come back when I need a burger fix. However, my review is mixed because I found the ambience lacking - the music was loud and of what I considered to be an obnoxious selection (personal taste, I know, but hey, it's my review). Also my menu was dirty, which was a real turn-off. A few customer-focused tweaks and it could be a five-star experience for me, but currently it's not.

Susan Rodriguez

I’m a vegetarian, and the main menu has almost no meat-free dishes—but Winston’s actually is vegetarian friendly as long as you say something to the waiter. They have a complete alternative menu available: the front lists vegetarian and vegan dishes, and the back has gluten-free dishes. I can’t speak to the gluten-free options, but the vegan and vegetarian choices are excellent!

Tracie Lane

The best grits and eggs I've had in years. I also loved the gluten-free waffle. But what I loved most is the premise behind this place.

John Yates

I want to start by saying, we really liked the restaurant and food was great! Their gluten free bread was really good also. The reason for the 3 star review though is solely based on our experience with the waitress. When we ordered I ordered their Turkey club, hella good btw, and asked for gluten free bread. I then asked for the french fries. Her body language and attitude immediately changed very aggressively and replied, “I can’t give you that” I asked why, and she said “because they’re fried in the same oil as other things”. I then tried to explain that I have more of a gluten intolerance and would be fine. I live with it and know my body. “She then got even more rude and defensive and said “ Well I will not be responsible if you get sick then” I have never been treated like that over gluten before. I greatly appreciate the concern she was trying to convey however the level of rude and tone of talking to me like a child was extremely off putting and honestly will never go back there because of her. We genuinely really loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant until her. Maybe she was having a bad day but to be nice and friendly and then a complete 180 difference was extremely disappointing.

Dhruti Dave

This was the best experience for burgers fot anyone with gluten free preferences.

Denise Donohue

My family had an amazing meal at Cowfish. As someone with gluten sensitivity, it's so hard to find safe foods. It was very comforting when the waitress asked if anyone had allergies before even taking our drink orders. The menu has something for everyone & there are some very interesting combinations. All-in-all, the food was delicious & the atmosphere was very fun & celebratory. We had a wonderful time!

Dani Dire

Hands down one of the best gluten free buns! Anytime I’m craving a burger, this is where we go. Most of the time when I ask for the gluten free bun they ask immediately if it’s an allergy before I can even say it. I’m celiac but saying it’s an allergy is usually easier. They do NOT have a dedicated fryer so stay away from the fries and tater tots unfortunately.

Kylie Oliver

They have GF buns, as well as a dedicated fryer. The staff is so friendly and informative and the food is absolutely delicious!

Micah Hoover

Fantastic service. Food was top notch with a lot of gluten free options. We go a lot.

Leyla Pinsent

Love this place! It’s a perfect spot of girl’s night. You can sit with your friends and leisurely enjoy a great night of food and drinks. One of my friends was also gluten free and they were very diligent on making sure nothing got cross contaminated for her.

Julia Pedroza

Absolutely love this place. Wish we could get here more often (and that they had non gluten-free coffee cake 😂)

Joe Janosko

Has gluten free options and fries are cooked in a separate frier my favorite gluten free sandwich.

Joseph B

Decent place to eat, a good number of options, and they have gluten free options.

Divinity

I've ate here a few times in the last 2 weeks (near my work), and I have no complaints so far, the servers are very sweet and attentive, no hostile feelings apart from some glares from the customers(which is the only negative thing if u stand out somehow), other than that, they treat you well, and the food is good, the prices aren't too bad either. They even have a gluten free menu!!

Aisha Chavis

Salad bar was cool. I wish the staff knew the difference between vegan and gluten free though.

Thomas Gyori

Ordered via their app. Order was ready early. THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE BREAD

Kathrine Defina

Delicious lunch! I enjoyed the California chicken salad sandwich & potato salad. Everything was fresh and filling. Staff were very friendly and attentive. My friend loved the gluten free options.

Joanne fredrickson

Right on the menu Gluten free bread, when I asked for sandwich w Gluten free bread was told we don't have Gluten free

M Alex

Went here for the first time and wasn’t expecting much but it was GREAT. My spouse is Italian and very picky and also enjoyed it. We’ve tried lots of Italian places in Raleigh area and this is the best. Excited to bring my friends with dietary needs here as well because apparently they also have gluten free options I’m very picky about my Alfredo (for some reason most restaurants have such bland Alfredo) but their Cajun pasta with Alfredo was very flavorful. The penne vodka is their most popular dish for good reason and also very flavorful. I also enjoyed their steak and cheese during lunch

Lenore Lopiano

I'm gluten free so I tried a chicken bowl. The chicken seemed like ground chicken. I was expecting chunks of chicken breast.

Ron Hyman

Maybe one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant. Had to wait several minutes for someone to take my order. And then they had no idea what was gluten free and what wasn’t. Ended up with nachos, which were just ok. Don’t have enough chips and when I asked for more to have with the toppings, they wanted to charge me for more chips. Won’t be back.

Dustin Beadle

People there are nice, but they cant read a goddamn order. 3rd time they cut a gluten free order with a knife used on wheat. They cant even tell what sandwich the GF bread was supposed to be on. I hate Raleigh, nobody here can fulfill an order correctly.

Cami Lattner

Good gluten free toast. Coffee was nice and quick. Lots of seating and natural light.

Silvia Barba

Delicious hot/steamed subs and I love that you get a choice of a gluten free roll.

Jasmyne Bergeron

Went to Jersey Mike's. They have gluten free options for me. Only was there for a friend.

Kelly Griffin

juice bar is so awesome my favorite smoothie is the PB Acai and it's delicious, today i got the meatless panini with gluten free bread and it slayed. the staff is always so nice and the TVs inside play videos of nature. i love it there.

Fred Lybrand

Clean and crisp restaurant w delicious burgers, chicken fingers, chicken sandwiches, and French fries. Highly recommend - great for NCSU parents visiting their kids. Employees are super friendly, super helpful, and they make delicious food. Got the burger no bun to be gluten free gf. Small selection of drinks, limited parking.

Sydney Eckhardt

Love Rise Village District! I order breakfast for my office every week and Rise is quickly becoming the crowd favorite. From decadent donuts to danish to biscuits, they crush breakfast. I am a particular fan of the fried green tomato biscuit. They have great options to customize their products- gluten free, vegetarian etc. Service is always great- fast and friendly. My only “negative” comment is the parking lot- plenty of spaces but be very careful because people kind of fly through there/aren’t aware of traffic patterns. Great location though! Thank you rise!

Artye Asvui

I appreciate the outdoor plants and all the seating options. I think I'm kicking the coffee habit because of a medical condition I have. I thought I'd go in for the baked goods. They're ok but not really amazing. I love that they offer all their sandwiches gluten free if we need that. The location is great for me. I Just think I've got tastier homemade options I can throw together or whatever. For gluten free they're not bad but if you are able to plan ahead or if it's my kitchen vs the selections here it's not a slam dunk that it's worth the price or the effort for the baked goods alone.

Jason McHone

This is real good pizza sold by the slice. Also have gluten free options (not by the slice) - really good. Nice people working there so check it out!

Daniel Arsenault

By far one of my favorite sub shops, such fast delivery and service, you are usually eating within 2 minutes of making your order, sometimes I haven't even finished filling my drink and my sub is ready. A frequent stop for us because the Unwich is perfect for my gluten sensitive wife. I really want one to open closer to my home.

Danielle Modesitt

Gluten free options and can find out what foods can be lactose free

Lior Seidel

Jonelle Lee

Paid for gluten free bread. They gave me regular bread. I have a gluten sensitivity. Ruined my whole damn day

J Holcomb

I order a sandwich every Sunday on my way to work. I am gluten free and they are careful in the prep of my sandwich.

Jeanne Tanner

Love this little place. It is one of the few places to go for a good healthy lunch or supper for a very reasonable price in this area. The restaurant is clean, the veggies are very fresh, the meat is fresh and real, juicy and tasty, the wraps are soft and fresh. I love that I can order gluten free for my GF friends or get vegetarian if I desire. The owner serves and is very kind very polite. Nicest man! I would highly recommend!

Jazzi LoBue

Gluten free sub rolls! My prayers have been answered! Service is always good!

Natalie Ross

I am gluten and dairy-free, and the smoothies here are a perfect healthy lunch for me! I get smoothies with the energy supplement and soy protein. So yum and reasonably priced.

CHRIS VAGLIO

We were in town for a day and we wanted to get a easy quick bite. Our sever was super friendly and the vibe and atmosphere of the place is really cool. We ordered the Kickin’ Grilled Chicken and the Meatball sub. My daughter enjoyed her sub (we’re definitely spoiled by NJ meatballs) and the grilled chicken sandwhich was not exactly kicking, but it was decent. I can’t speak to the pizza because we didn’t try it. All and all not a bad spot to grab a bite. Kudos though for having gluten free bread - that was awesome.

Lime Time Travel

Gluten Free subs! 🙌 Staff was quick and courteous . Even asked me if they should change gloves so as not to contaminate my GF meal. 👍

Kelly MacFalls

I have celiac disease which means I’m severely allergic to gluten and any cross contamination with gluten will cause a bad reaction for me. This specific jersey mikes is the best at accommodating for me. When I ask for gluten free bread they always ask if it’s preference or allergy. When I let them know I have an allergy they immediately clean everything off, change gloves, and use a separate knife. At this point I visit so frequently that some workers remember my exact order when I walk through the door and always clean everything off for me. I feel so safe eating here and I’ve never felt sick after. Today the lady working made me feel so safe as she cleaned everything off and let me know she didn’t wan’t me to feel sick!
