Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Edmonton

Natalie Spisak

This is a negative review directly related to how hot cross buns were being displayed & arranged. The buns were stacked on top of each other & squashed like pancakes. Like so many folks with celiac I have to eat GF otherwise suffer the consequences which can be very severe. I commented to the staff member running the till about the hot cross buns all being squashed & asked if there were any in the back that were not squashed. She blinked at me like a troll from Frozen with a completely lost & confused expression & whispered no. Life is very expensive & this made me sad. I bought hot cross buns from a grocery store for the rest of my family and even those were sad in my eyes but they were not squished. Packaged in a recyclable box measuring 6.5cm in height. I measured kinnikinnicks to find that at the highest point was just over 2cm!! That's not even an inch!! The highest point! I know the person working the till is just staff likely being paid minimum wage (which is another hill to die on) but is it too much to ask for no squished hot cross buns!?!? I would ask that we all take a bit more pride in our jobs, no matter the job, & please be a bit more thoughtful. Can you please arrange baked goods in a way that will not ruin the product? This is sad. If I was the owner I'd be embarrassed.

I got a lemon raspberry cake for a party it was perfect it fed all the people I needed to feed and it was absolutely delicious I would totally recommend and I'm actually holding myself back from going again and grabbing all their tasty looking treats. It feels like being in an actual bakery again instead of kinda being stuck with like very little variety. This place has tons they have donuts and eclairs all gluten free I love it plus staff is super nice.

Katie Chalifoux

An okay diner it feels kinda tight and is loud but the fact it's gluten friendly is a big plus and on top of that the food tastes absolutely amazing, which is hard without gluten. Coffee was not fun and it was super busy. Overall it's a cute place every once in awhile, though I don't think you'd want to make it a regular spot.

Steve was an absolute delight as our server! The food was delicious and the gluten free options were great!

Eric Schultz

The Next Act is the quintessential third place. The staff is always welcoming and make you feel like you're at friend's place, not a restaurant. And their gluten free fish and chips is a real treat for those of us with Celiac 🥰

Roxanne Michaud

A real treasure in SE Edmonton. It is in TAWA centre on 66 Street. The most delicious coffees and beautiful gluten free deserts are to be found here. I come to TAWA every 3 months, and always enjoy a wonderful coffee and sandwich

Love the gluten free wraps

Heather

We tried this place for the first time and it was excellent. I am celiac so they were able to ensure my safety while maintaining the incredible quality! We will definitely be back

We went out for dinner before a concert and I ordered their pesto rosso pasta. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and the waiter was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to this. On my first bite I bit into a rock. Thankfully I didn't chip a tooth. The waiter apologized and ordered new food for me. Which was great, but I was disappointed in their actions after. They gave me 50% off my pasta dish and no manager came to speak to me. I felt like this incident could have been worse and the fact that no manager came to apologize wasn't the best customer service.

Visiting from Calgary and stopped by Remedy Café for their gluten-free options. The staff assured me food prep is safe for celiacs, with a separate prep area, toaster, and utensils. Tried the coconut chicken wrap on a GF wrap, Punjabi style — absolutely flavorful and filling. Saved half for later! Great experience and will definitely be back. Shoutout to the server for being knowledgeable of gluten free practices and a stellar recommendation for my wrap!

Donna Jenson

Against All Grain Benny was by far the best eggs benedict I’ve ever had. Got the spicy hollandaise and it was just the right mild spice. The Brussel sprouts were sweet, carmelized and pure perfection. Vegan and gluten free which was perfect. I will be back to try other vegan GF items.

They are not careful when it comes to correctly labeling and preparing for dietary needs. I have Celiacs Disease and due to them giving me a regular bagel with the written label of a "gluten free" I'm now experiencing agonizing symptoms. Luckily I won't die, but if you have any allergies DO NOT GO TO THIS REMEDY. Could you imagine if it was a nut allergy?! Do better.

We visited this restaurant after hearing great reviews from the gluten-free community. Arriving late in the evening, we seemed to have missed the dinner rush as no other tables arrived. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the fish and chips, while my friends had the beef dip. The wait for our food felt long, though it was unclear if this was due to extra precautions for my allergies, as nothing was communicated. The food looked good, but the flavours fell short. The beef dip was well-received, but both the fries and fried fish lacked seasoning. The coleslaw was overly creamy and bland, though the tartar sauce was great. One piece of my fish tasted fine, while the other was fishy. Additionally, my lemon wedge arrived with the sticker still attached, suggesting a lapse in quality control. On the positive side, the cocktails were excellent. Overall, while I appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to allergy safety, the slow food service and lack of flavour left me undecided on whether I’d return.

Great place. Enjoyed the nuggets and the chicken burger. Nuggets are gluten free.

Super nice restaurant, delicious breakfast. They offer gluten-free alternatives. Everything freshly prepared, freshly recommended.

Greg

I tried to call the manager and left him a message instead of writing this review because I truly just want them to do better. I’m sure the regular food there is fine however, the gluten-free sandwiches are disgusting. They’re so dried out. It’s unbelievable. My challenge to the manager would be to eat one without water and not choke. I’m paying an extra dollar for the gluten-free bread. I know you can buy promise gluten-free bread and it’s delicious and it is a fraction of the dollar surcharge for the gluten-free bread. if you’re gonna offer gluten-free please thank you as regular food and you wouldn’t eat it nor would I . Do you have my number if you want me to remove my review and gladly will, I just wanted you to be aware of the problem.

GF Fried Breaded Chicken is always one of my go to’s but I must say when eating the Carrot Cake slice drizzled with caramel sauce & homemade thick whipped cream with fresh strawberries…it was heavenly! Not to mention everything completely gluten free, I being Celiac. I love this absolute gem in Edmonton. Very cozy atmosphere, wonderful staff, & a big chefs kiss to the talented chefs! I’ve also been to the roast beef buffets & everything is incredible! Endless assortments & varieties of anything you can imagine. Quality & Excellence! Thank you so much for all the care you put into creating incredible cuisine dishes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kelli LeBlanc

Kennedy was an amazing waitress and it was an amazing experience and atmosphere. The food was amazing. I especially like it here because they have many gluten free options including gluten free buns and a separate gluten free fryer.

Makayla

Amazing food and wonderful welcoming service! Everyone at my table was raving about how delicious their plates were. Fresh seasonal fruit is common in the dishes and it was lovely. Marching was our server and you can tell he is very passionate about his job here. Friendly and attentive. If anyone in your party is gluten sensitive they have a delicious gluten free crepe with fresh fruit. I ordered a traditional breakfast with a side of avocado. Everyone loved their lattes as well.

Miles Peterson

Great gluten free options that are clearly marked on the menu. Staff are knowledgeable when it comes to celiac disease and the need for safe gluten free preparations. Calling ahead at busy times to get put on the waitlist is highly recommended.

Avalaine McAdam

Love love love remedy cafe. They have an amazing variety of gluten free deserts and drinks. Love the customer service as well 💖

Shontelle West

Don’t normally like to post bad reviews, but unfortunately, this is not a gluten-free bakery at all. They put the gluten-free baked goods besides gluten products. They really need to update their website and the lady that owned. The restaurant was extremely unfriendly was not helpful at all actually was very rude. Will not be back gluten-free coeliac people please do not go there.

Stephen Dodd

Very yum. Even non vegans will like it. Lots of gluten free options

Bronwyn Blakley

I usually order for delivery from this location and the food is always delicious. I love that Oeb has gluten free options.

Bridget GUTTERIDGE-HINGSTON

Very good food for a meal, snack, or drink. Lots of gluten free and vegan options. Sometimes overpriced.

Jennifer E

We go here for the gluten friendly Pannenkoeken. My kids love it and the kids menu is priced very well.

Miranda Lee

Great gluten free options.

Pamela Armstrong

Pip has fantastic food & service. On top of that they are very accommodating with different allergies and take it very serious. My celiac family members always feel comfortable and confident dining here. I would recommend Pip to anyone!

Brenda Duggan

OEB Kitchen & Bar at Edmonton airport had gluten free options for breakfast. I had the traditional Benny with gluten free English muffin and canadian bacon. It was cooked right soft poached. I was not a big fan of the hollandaise but the overall dish was good. I was not confident it was gluten free due to the server bringing the food out and not identifying which meal was the gluten free. I had to ask. Prices quite high.$25 per person for breakfast is not something I will do again. I did not have steak and eggs 🤨

Elena Mager-Tetz

A Celiac Foodie's Dream! The food here is outstanding - chef Joseph goes above and beyond. It is such a treat to have delicious, local, farm-to-table style dishes that are also created with a knowledgeable kitchen and staff. Indoor/Outdoor dining is a definite plus and the ambiance is great. I regularly crave the Poutines and the GF Brownie, although every item here is a hit.

reyanne janvier

Amy was an absolute delight! Very attentive and diligent with making sure my food was celiac friendly!!!

G WR

Always busy. Good coffee, awesome staff. Will have to try the food next time. There are some vegan and gluten free offerings.

Christina Gold

Gluten-free options

Samantha Doughty

Always absolutely Amazing! Completely vegan and they have a separate gluten free menu, and specify which items could have cross contamination but can be made celiac friendly!

Todd Elliott

Had a great burger and lemonade with my daughter! Gluten and Dairy free!

Brittany Schmidt

I visited Donna’s for the first time today and was thoroughly impressed. I ordered a gluten-free clubhouse sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. When I inquired about gluten-free donairs, the owner enthusiastically confirmed they offer them, and to my surprise, he even brought one out for me to try. The food was outstanding, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the entire experience was wonderful. I’ll definitely be returning—highly recommended!

Tara Short

Wow! I came across this restaurant with a coupon but had heard they have very good smoked meat sandwiches. Well, according to Maury, that's a lie! THEY ARE EXCELLENT! Truly delicious. Also, they have the best gluten free pizza I have had in as long as I remember. Great gluten aware crust, good quality ingredients, just top notch. This is a restaurant I will make a 40 minute drive for again. Absolutely.

Elizabeth Wells

Great coffee, cool spot. Gluten-free baked goods too!

Clinton Carew

I really enjoyed it here. Delicious gluten free pita and hummus. Yum. Staff was friendly and the vibe is relaxed. (Maybe slightly too relaxed?) Anyhow great place for a gf lunch

mohamed rabi

Tried the gluten free Margherita, i really enjoyed. It was really wonderfull, polite server and amazing ambience.

Sandy Heller

Josh was our server tonight and he was very friendly and has a great sense of humour. He remembered what I ordered 3 months ago and that I’m allergic to gluten. He definitely goes the extra mile. We will always ask for his section when we return. Thanks Josh 😊

Justine Laliberte

Delicious, authentic and Fresh! My favorite joint for Mexican. A lot of gluten free options. LIME Margherita are to die for!

Olivia Seward

Great gluten free food. Loved Erica ❤️

Rhea Kirk-Pearson

Amazing food and everything gluten free!!

Sean Knorr

This location most definitely served my celiac girlfriend gluten on a dish that is labelled gluten free despite other locations doing it properly. They were told numerous times of her celiac. We are 100% positive it was them. I would avoid this at all costs if you are celiac - unlike other browns, they do not have a shared fryer, and despite saying this and supposedly removing the gluten components of a meal, still glutened her.

Brendan Wohlers

Great Colombian food! Went for lunch and had gluten free with no issues. Most of their menu is gluten free.

Anna J

We enjoy Earls' food in general and are incredibly grateful for the locations, like South Common and Whitemud Crossing, for being attentive and accommodating with my daughter's severe sensitivities - gluten and lactose. We can always ask for some small adjustments on a dish to accommodate her and enjoy a family outing. We went to WEM today, and, not looking to experiment with food, we decided to visit Earls, a safe place. Unfortunately, we are quite disappointed with the food and the service at this location. Not only I got my Tuna Poke Bowl with seaweed salad (I've requested otherwise), but my daughter got a parmesan dip with her meal. I had no problem poking seaweed out of my plate and still ate the salad, but it could have ended painfully for my daughter (I've tested the dip before letting her have it). No one asked us how our food was nor if there was a problem since there was a side plate full of seaweed. I mentioned the issues at the end, and I've been thanked for the feedback, though .... lol

Steve E

Everything great. But if you are celiac, you need to determine if the risk is worth it. I got contaminated but maybe not everyone is as sensitive as myself. Tasted great, but for me, I cannot tolerate any gluten.

Hippie Tech

Cozy cafe and used book store has a sort of Harry Potter vibe... but it needs more seating. Can get crowded with no seating at peak times 3-5pm. Plenty of drink options and some gluten free snacks available. I come here often. Milk alternatives like soy and almond for the lactose or casein intolerant. Few parking spots behind and more directly across the road.

Haley Kroeker

A beautiful restaurant! They served some of the best lamb I've ever had, and all meals come with complimentary tea. I need to eat gluten free, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating
