Top 34 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Kitchener

Winnie's has been a go to for my daughter who has Celiac. We have only purchased their desserts and she LOVES them. Maybe one day we will try some of their other food items. If you are looking for a CAKE you need to pre-order. They have various flavors available.

Ginger snap, oatmeal, and Linzer cookies were amazing! Fruit muffin with jam filling was light, airy and filled with berries. It’s always a wonderful surprise when a gluten-free bakery pops up unexpected in a mall you’ve never been to before. You made my day! I can’t add any photos because I ate them all so quickly.

I have eaten frequently at Mel’s Diner on Westmount and I have my GF favourites—Huevos Rancheros, Cinnamon Roll pancakes, Chocolate Lava cake, Florentine Benedict. They are always adding new items, so I still have a lot to try! They have a dedicated fryer, too, for French fries, fish and chips, etc.

The tea flavours are delicious and there are lots of gluten free options. Also genuinely the most comfortable couches I’ve ever sat in in my life.

Delicious food and stellar service! We visited Borealis Grille & Bar in Kitchener today for a belated birthday celebration for our son. The restaurant had a great vibe and atmosphere. We sat inside, but the patio looked nice from the large wall of windows. All of the staff were warm and welcoming, and our server, Luigi, was exceptional! He was very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the menu. He had a good sense of humour and seemed to enjoy interacting with guests, even as the restaurant became busier. The menu offered locally sourced options and a variety of selections, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan choices. We ordered Barrie’s Farm Nachos, Blackened Chicken Taco Salads, and Cheddar Burgers. The prices were reasonable with good portion sizes. The food was delicious, timely, and well-presented and the homemade iced tea was refreshing. Overall, we had a great experience and will visit again when in the area. Thanks again for birthday wishes Luigi! Cheers! Luana :)

I have visited this restaurant before, has always been good. My last visit was the kickoff to my birthday trip to Kingston, and it was exceptional. Really love this place, because Stacked is one of the few breakfast places I've found in Ontario that offer gluten-free pancakes, waffles AND French toast. Most bfast places just offer GF bread, which is nice, but these days, with all the products available, I'll die on the hill that it's just lazy to not offer all menu items GF. Stacked always delivers. I picked up my rental car in Kitchener, and decided to eat breakfast before driving to Kingston. Good choice. It was a Thursday, but there were still a good number of diners eating...usually a sign on a weekday that the place is really good. I started off with the celebration of Cinnabun pancakes. Do you know what a treat that is? I don't eat this stuff at home and these taste like the best cinnamon bun you ever tasted. With the pancake stack, you will also get meat, eggs and potatoes. It's a big meal full of carbs yes, but always good to treat yourself on occasion...life is short! My server was Pratyasha. She is the most friendly and engaging server I've had at this restaurant. It's always nice when the server asks you a few questions and has a little conversation outside of just the food. She shows a genuine interest in her customers and it was much appreciated. Best server I ever had at this chain. She also knew that the sausage was not GF, and I always appreciate when your server knows that about menu items without you having to ask. Makes you feel safer about the food and shows they really care about their customers. The food came out quick and was delicious. The scrambled eggs were not dry and the bacon was so good. Potatoes were perfect as well. The restaurant was clean, including the bathroom and decor was cute. Easy free lot parking too. I'll definitely return. Hope Pratyasha is always my server!

Well I was told that the food was cooked on a bbq and there were no grilled lines or anything on my jerk chicken the rice was average at best all they did is put sauce on a cooked chicken breast I would save my money and not come back ! Although it is gluten friendly, if it’s a grab and go and not sit and eat I understand why it’s not that great you will wait to get home before you see the over priced food, maybe they should also say truffle chips are truffle salt on potatoe chips, marketing wins again not quality or value

We stopped in for afternoon drinks and had really good service. The drinks (toffee latte and blue lagoon mojito) were delicious. We didn’t know that they could do all their waffles gluten free. What a great surprise! Definitely will be coming back.

I went into Eggsmart for the first time last Friday. I had a conversation with the woman that greeted me about gluten free options. I told her I was celiac and needed to ask her a few questions about their gf options. She reassured me the Meat Lovers Scramble was gluten free and i5 included gluten free toast, home fries and a small fruit cup. She told me 3 times the home fries were gluten free. I ordered my meal, took it home and began to eat. First off I must say it was absolutely delicious. However it wasn't long afterwards that I began to feel the tell tale signs of being glutened. I am on day 5 of suffering with the symptoms of getting glutened. I contacted head office to ask about their gf options. They were great and got back to me within an hour. They told me their sausage has gluten and the staff should be aware of it. Also the home fries are NOT gf as the seasoning I was told is not gf. So if you are celiac please be careful if you decide to eat there. Head office did tell me they will be in contact with the restaurant to ensure proper training is done. Another hard lesson learned unfortunately for me.

Celebrated a birthday with over 20 people attending. Ages of our party ranged from 3 years to 60+, with various dietary restrictions including celiac. When I booked a couple of weeks prior, they asked that I send our entree orders early so their kitchen could ensure everyone received their meals about the same time (and I would think to not disrupt the flow for other customers). It was a huge help not just for them, but for us as well - no need to waste time browsing the menu, just sit down, and enjoy the company. The staff day of were excellent - polite and friendly with attentive service, even with a very busy restaurant. In addition, the food was fantastic, and all dietary needs were met! Overall, would absolutely recommend Piper Arms Kitchener if you're looking for a restaurant to celebrate any occasion.

I really like coming here.. I know based off the two stars you'll think why two stars. Let me explain. I am gluten free and I always order a gluten free bagel with cream cheese. I've gone 6 times now. 6 times... 6 TIMES. ordered that. They always bring me out it on gluten free bread???? Stating they don't have bagels.. then they check with the kitchen and bring back a gluten free bagel that's half done and sloppy and in horrible condition because they had to remake it. Every single time I've went in this has happened. WHY

The breakfast buffet, food, and variety of options were amazing! The head chef and waiting staff catered to my food allergies and always went out of their way to ensure everything was gluten-free and perfect! Shout out to Erika and Navi, in particular, for their friendly and impeccable service! Thanks for making my experience wonderful!
