Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Japan

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

Mel Griffin

Amazing. We ordered two savory and two sweet crepes and their matcha lattes. Everything was delicious and the staff is so friendly. The place is small so go early for seats.

Lara Acucella

Great gluten-free ramen and vegan and gluten-free gyoza. They saved my dinner, and it was a great rescue 😋😋😋 They don't guarantee contamination since they don't have separate kitchens, but they proved to be attentive and prepared. I highly recommend it 😊

Vanessa Recio Huertas

I had a delicious gluten-free ramen. The broth was perhaps a little lacking in flavor for my taste, but I still liked it. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy a gluten-free option at Tokyo Station.

Vero .Ibril

Excellent place for people with celiac disease! Everything is gluten-free and delicious. We tried the pepperoni pizza, a baguette, a bacon braid, and a kind of vegan curry-filled bun. It's a small takeout place, although there are a couple of benches outside where you can eat. The guy is very friendly and speaks perfect English. 100% recommended, but we recommend getting there early because they're so fast.

Anne Namuth

The whole place is gluten free. Between 3 and 5 pm they only serve dessert and drinks. The parfait is phenomenal.

Marcus S

Amazing! Amazing! Lovely staff and a cosy little cafe. We arrived late in the day, 5.30 (close at 6pm) and they accommodated us for a quick dessert. They had sold out of their rice flour bread so couldn’t get the sandwiches. Highly recommend.

We had been travelling in Japan for Several days, and the members of our party with coeliac was looking for a change. Tucked away on Miyajima, this small cafe is dedicated gluten free. The fried chicken was wonderful, and the curries smelled great. And then there were the donuts… It was just delightful to find such flavors one GF food, almost by accident.

Laurène Thébault de Marsilly

It was so good. gluten free pasta and matcha cheesecake, very tasty, and rice bread.

Dana

My friend is gluten-free, therefore she was really happy with the wide selection. I tried the sesame ramen, but it was really bland, and the little bit of soy meat tasted like nothing

Emily Hunt

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

I visited L for You AOYAMA, a gluten-free cafe for intestinal health in Omotesando. I've been eating and drinking a lot these past few days, so I came here to give my stomach a rest (^^)... I had burdock and mushroom intestinal health soy milk soup, a plate of brown rice and vegetables, and pomegranate green tea. I'm so happy it's gentle on my stomach...no guilt... It also came with a small banana bound cake, so I was very satisfied! Thank you for the meal (^_^)!

It's a restaurant that specializes in vegan and gluten-free food, and it doesn't use rice flour, so it was very helpful. The stylish atmosphere was also nice. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced, so it was a good experience.

Teresa Cullen

i loved eating here so much i came back the next day. incredible gluten free cafe with great coffee and veggie options. the french toast was the best i have ever had. and the folks working were incredibly kind and helpful. the space itself was very cute and calming. i loved the egg sandwich.

Filippo Montalti

We chose this bar because we were visiting the temple area in Kyoto, and we were looking for a gluten-free place, and we had a great time, the choice on the menu is very limited, two sandwiches (with very good bread) and 4-5 desserts, then they only have coffee to drink or a few other things (no soft drinks). It is a very elegant place, you can see the artistic imprint of the owner. The staff is very kind and also spoke very good English. Prices a little high but everything is quality and a zen environment. Ah from the back you can see the pagoda directly!

Zach Dorsett

Delicious gluten free churros!

Saved our trip! My son is gluten free, and Japan (largely) is not. It was very hard to find food for him, and other gluten free shops either weren’t really gluten free, or just tasted bad, had very small menus, or were closed when they said they were open. But Biossa had exactly what we needed. Good, fresh, delicious gluten free bread, muffins, baguettes, and croissants! That way we could pack and carry the breads around Tokyo, so my son could eat almost anywhere (by swapping out the provided breads with these gluten free ones). Game-changing. Thanks Biossa!

Markus Kankare

The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire menu was safe for gluten-free diets, which made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful, making the whole experience even better. We truly loved everything about this place, from the atmosphere to the service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for safe and tasty gluten-free food in Japan! ☺️

Bowie Fong

A very delicious vegan cake shop❤️ Located opposite the Shinjuku Gyoen front entrance. Ordered○Banana tart バナナタルト 950 yen (tax included) ●Very smooth and delicious, with a European style cake flavor. Vegan and gluten-free, but still feels super delicious. ●The cream is also very smooth. ♡You can order a whole cake, book 3 days in advance. ■Hope to book a whole cake for myself at one time😆

Anne Namuth

The pizza is not gluten free … but there are several GF choices. I had the shrimp risotto — really good.

Jonathan Smith

We were visiting Sapporo from New Zealand and found this GF Cafe online. We had the most wonderful breakfast and actually returned for lunch on the same day. The husband and wife who own and operate the Cafe are wonderful and amazing people. Be sure to visit even if you aren't Gluten Free .. the food is good. We look forward to seeing you again when we return to Sapporo in August or September next year (2026)

Sasha Simms-Rowan

I ate here no more than 20 minutes ago and it was wonderful. It’s difficult to find gluten free places in Japan, especially along with being vegan - This restaurant was lovely, the food was great and the staff are so kind, friendly and sweet. We had the lunch plates (where you basically get to try a bit of everything, everywhere should do that am I right?!), donut, chocolate waffle and regular waffle - Everything was so nice, I’m vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater, we loved all of it but had opposite favourites to one another so it’s definitely worth a try! Enjoy everyone!

Nakata中田

One of the best gluten free cafes in Osaka ! Anyone can enjoy !! Everything was delicious. I personally am not gluten free nor vegan but would absolutely come back for more !

M N

Best falafels in town! Also has great gluten free muffins!

はやし

Gluten-free bread

Showed coeliac card and was assured it would be fine but later found out they were unable to accomodate due to cross contamination.

Lucas K

The açaí bowl was very good; however, we found the service disinterested and the atmosphere lacking. If you’re in the area and need a gluten-free bite, it’s worth a stop, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit this location.

R I

All of the carefully prepared dishes were delicious! The gluten-free pasta was well-flavored, the dashi soy sauce had a mild taste, and the salmon pasta had a nice yuzu flavor. The soy milk amazake soft serve ice cream was mellow and not at all heavy, and went really well with the strong espresso.

Brenett Dickerson

If you have a gluten intolerance or even if you don’t, this is the place to eat!! We had the Seed Breakfast and the banana bread and it was scrumptious!!

Emily Ko

YALL. Run don’t walk to this bakery. Not only was everything dairy and gluten free but everything, but one dessert, was nut free too! Wow. I highly recommend the black sesame waffle ice cream. I want to come back again 💕

Liliane Lapointe

Very good gluten free crepes ! Had the ham with onions : so yummy!

Séverine

We had a delicious gluten free galette. The gluten free muffins are very tasty as well. The owner is kind and the restaurant is small and nice. We highly recommend!

pietro zani

the place is 100% gluten free and it's really good. I advise you to take the mochi and the cakes! amazing!

Geoff Jennings

Delicious. It's not always easy eating gluten free in Japan, but I have to. Spotted a big gluten free sign outside and was stoked to see all the gluten free choices were clearly marked. Enjoyed my onigiri and a spam/egg "burger". They have a small bar for eating in, but seem to do mostly to-go. The person working (owner) was friendly and happily helped me when I asked a question using Google translate. I wish I was going to be able to visit again this trip!

Melissa

Delicious fluffy gluten free pancakes (suitable for celiac). I recommend the one with red bean paste and matcha ice cream! You won’t regret it!

Melissa Deroche

Loved this little eatery. A local friend took us there and it was delicious. Good for vegan, veg, gluten free.

Stacey Messer

The gluten free pancakes here were amazing. So grateful to find somewhere where we could enjoy a gluten free meal. The staff were very helpful.

Valerie Leeds

I enjoyed my green salad very much. The balance of all the green veggies, with the smallest pop of a red lettuce in it was excellent. The dressing was a outstanding pesto, which I almost wished for more of, however I was so glad to be able to taste and appreciate each of my vegetables individually, again harmony. The tiramisu was vegan and gf, as were all the desserts. This dessert was great as a df gf customer. What we would have liked more of, a few more gluten free options on the savory menu. The green salad was the solitary option. No soup or warm food was gluten free on the entire menu. Many vegan people would like this choice. I am celiac, and found your restaurant on Atly, a gluten free restaurant App. It would only enhance the menu to have 1 soup and 1 warm meal. This would raise the stars to 5 stars!🌟

Tina Chu

The best vegan and gluten free desserts I’ve ever tried (and I’m from LA where we’re spoiled with allergen friendly options)! The hojicha cake was my favorite; the matcha cake and ice cream sandwich were fantastic as well. The soy milk tea lattes were a delightful pairing.

I always come here when I come to Osaka. I don't know how many times I've been there. It's easy for even an old man to enter by himself. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable. The location is in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth coming just for this shop. I tried almost everything on the menu, but on this day I ordered the power bowl and soup set for 1,580 yen. It's a little pricey, but it really fills you up. It's loaded with vegetables and almost gluten-free. After eating, I noticed the seasonal menu posted on the wall. Brown rice risotto set! I should have done this! ! I will go again.

Haru (haruchaaan.t)

I always use this cafe for work! There is Wi-Fi and power outlets inside the store! Above all, it is a calm space, and I feel like I can get a lot of work done at the counter seats with a good view (∩˃o˂∩)♡ However, since the food is gluten-free and other food-related, and a full cafe latte costs about 800 yen, it is more of a cafe that I would like to use when I want to boost my self-esteem a little, like Starbucks! I often buy baked goods to take home as souvenirs for business partners, but there is also a general store, so it is a cafe that is highly recommended for women!

Julia Becker

This was my FAVORITE meal in Kyoto and is the best place for someone who is gluten free and vegan (the omnivores in my group loved it too). It was such a beautiful spot and had an upscale and traditional feel. We started off with the tofu, which you make AT the table; it was incredible and a very unique experience. The tofu was supple and absolutely delicious with some salt. We got several sushi rolls, my favorite being the grilled yuba. I think of this meal often and wish I could have it again!

川本E

Lots of vegetables! A vegetable cafe that does not use eggs, milk, or flour✨ You can also enjoy the ``Salad Bowl,'' which consists of vegetables, nuts, rice, and other grains arranged together in a large bowl, or the ``Buddha Bowl,'' which originated on the West Coast of the United States and is a one-plate dish. When I received it, it was red rice, quinoa, carrots, avocado, tomatoes, nuts, lettuce, etc.😃 In addition to the Buddha Bowl, we also have vegetarian curry, vegan sandwiches, gluten-free pasta and sweets, and we also have children's sets ❤️

Yahli mordo

Absolutely amazing people and amazing gluten free food! This place is a heaven to gluten free people!!

Sachte

Many gluten free options for lunch and different gluten free cakes. The staff were attentive and took my coeliac condition seriously, answering all my questions with care and to the best of their knowledge. It was reassuring to see them checking all the dishes on the menu that they could safely offer me. Most importantly, the cakes were delicious.

Jim Nugent

As a coeliac with limited Japanese vocabulary, it was great to have the food on display clearly labelled with GF. Strong recommendation for any gluten suffers looking for a bite to eat.

Corinna Finney

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

林玉彰

The French bakery at Ginza No. 6 has a variety of items, with a delicate texture and strong gluten. The chewing process is a little laborious, but the aftertaste is fragrant and long-lasting. I don’t know how long I haven’t eaten such delicious bread. Although there were a lot of people queuing up at the checkout, the cashier was very systematic and quickly digested the flow of people without waiting for a long time.

Donna maria Huijskens

It was a really nice experience eating here I am a vegetarian and also intolerant to gluten en she really helped me with picking options. Really recommend this place!!!

I “さんぽ”

I was curious about this shop! There are six types of lightly roasted beans, and you can check out the smell and choose your favorite! I chose iced coffee. It had a good balance of sourness, refreshing aroma, and sweetness. The matcha donuts were vegan and gluten-free. They were filling and delicious!! There were a lot of tourists, and the shop was bright and had a nice atmosphere. I want to go again!!
