Top 4 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Utrecht

Bernd Nowak

Extremely delicious, varied, and creative gluten-free food, highly recommended! Small plates for sharing

Khaled

Great taste. Friendly staff. Gluten Free. Coeliac recommended

Sarah Loffeld-Alderliesten

Had dinner with 7 people. We were half an hour early, was no problem! Small cramped place where we were quite cramped at some tables pushed together. The gluten-free pizza was okay, the real pizzas were tasty, I have had much better tiramisu. The cocktails were unfortunately very sweet, not well balanced. Service was really great! It felt good and they kept everything top notch. Due to the crowds (perhaps?) very noisy and difficult to hear each other well. The extraction could be better because it smelled very much of food. The toilet was very dirty, I reported this to the staff.

Recently enjoyed a high tea here. Very tasty dishes and drinks. Was a bit afraid that the combination gluten-free and vegan (so no cheese) would be difficult for an omnivore with a cheese fetish, but that was not the case. Recommended!

Leon Zimmer

The food was very tasty. There is also the option to order gluten-free products. Extra care was taken here. Unfortunately I have to deduct a star because the gluten-free product I ordered was initially prepared incorrectly. It was never given to us but was told straight away and told that it would take longer because of it. So I really see it being handled very openly. It was still a bit annoying. But I can really recommend it without reservation!

Viktoriya

Nice that they have gluten free bagels and even a date cake Drinks are very nice and the service is super friendly

davey saveur

Had lunch here for the first time today. Gluten-free food is possible here. Very nice place, tasty sandwiches and super friendly service!

Jurian Beeftink

Lovely staff, good food, good value for money. With top gluten free breakfast/lunch option

Fam Glass

Cozy atmosphere and good food! Even very doable for people with Celiac disease! Staff are friendly and helpful.

L. Kingma

I come here regularly. Always busy, but you often don't have to wait very long. I always thought, what could possibly go wrong when baking a pancake? Compared to other restaurants in the area, this is by far the best, so it's no wonder it's always full! Pleasant and hard-working staff. Gluten-free options! Cozy atmosphere. Child and dog friendly. Goats on one side, donkeys on the other. You can moor your kayak/canoe for a drink. Really great! The only downside I find is the price. A bit too expensive for a pancake for me. But atmosphere, service, taste etc. make up for a lot ;)

Romy

Super delicious food! The portions are certainly adequate and the price is also in proportion to what you receive. Big plus: gluten-free pancakes! It's fantastic that they take allergies into account The service is certainly friendly, just not chatty.

Sander Mathijssen

I have never had such a delicious gluten-free pancake.

Naomi B

Excellent service and friendly staff. No problem accommodating four vegetarians including one coeliac. I'm told the GF bagel was delicious!

Kay Hebert

This coffee spot is incredibly cosy and beautiful. I had a delicious gluten-free cake and an oat milk cappuccino. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Sophie Van Wijk

Came in amid the hustle and bustle, the last table. But despite that, quick and friendly help. Gluten-free options!

Alexandra Kalischewski

Yesterday I had lunch at Bagels & Beans. I give it two stars and that is purely due to the fact that my allergies were handled well. They have, like other locations, a clear allergy booklet and the staff took this seriously when taking the order. Compliments for that. Unfortunately, that is where the positive ends. I ordered a ham sandwich and a bagel with chocolate sprinkles. The bagel with chocolate sprinkles was fine, nothing to complain about. But the ham sandwich (gluten-free) was downright disappointing. As you can see in the photo, there was not even a full slice of ham on it – more like half – and the chives and tomato ketchup, which according to the menu should be on the bagel, were completely absent. When I mentioned this to the staff, I was told: “This is what we are allowed to put on the sandwich according to the protocol.” Sorry, but that is not an acceptable response. For €7.55 (including a surcharge for gluten-free bread) you can expect more than two slices of cheese, half a slice of ham, 1¼ slices of tomato and... nothing else. For someone with allergies it is nice that this is taken into account, but that does not justify the poor execution of a simple sandwich. I will not be coming back here anytime soon.

Hanna

One of the best and cleanest McDonald's I've ever visited. No trash on the floor, no leftover food on/under the tables. All employees seem friendly and approachable. The burgers, fries and McNuggets we ordered were freshly prepared, warm and really tasty! HUGE PLUS POINT: GLUTEN FREE BURGERS 👍👍👍 We'd love to come back when we're nearby.

Dennis Nagtegaal

Food was excellent and it was nice that they have gluten-free options. Scanning on the poles is not that difficult. And had received a hamburger instead of a double cheeseburger, it was denied at first, but after checking 2 other burgers it was correct, then 2 slices of cheese and burger were simply placed on top without saying anything and that was it. Tasted great but thought it was very clumsy.

Sonja Z. Wiesner

Fantastic, cozy place with many gluten-free and vegan breakfast and brunch options. Very sweet and friendly staff. Fun drinks. I can highly recommend the Mushroom Soja Latte. Plant-based milks available are coconut, oat and soya. It’s a solid 5 star for people who eat gluten/ lactose free or vegan. The only thing I would wish for, would be lactose free cow milk. But this is hard to come by in any coffee shops in the Netherlands.

Arjen Westeneng

Just a good restaurant. Good and tasty food, good service! They (=service) know everything about gluten-free and lactose-free food. Due to Celiac disease, a strict diet must be followed. They think along very well and they simply make the dish gluten-free if you want it. No problems the next day. According to our kids, the play area needs some repair, but otherwise I can recommend it to everyone. Will definitely come back here.

Mehmet Sonat

I had a very good experience at Bagels and Beans! As someone with celiac, dining out can often be challenging, but the staff here were very knowledgeable and accommodating. They took the time to explain what I could and couldn’t eat and reassured me of their thorough process for handling gluten-free orders. The gluten-free bagels are great. I appreciated that they were individually packed for extra safety, and I am happy to see the staff washing their hands and using separate utensils, cutting boards, and knives to prepare my food. A special shoutout to staff for making my experience so enjoyable. Their attentiveness and care truly stood out. I’ll certainly be coming back, thank you for such a delicious and worry-free breakfast experience!

Robin N.

Had dinner here on a sunny Friday evening with 2 people. Easy to book via the website. Initially a table inside, but later offered a table outside. Very tasty food and good service. We both eat gluten-free and they thought along with us. Top!

Elke B.

I was actually expecting typical Dutch pancakes. What we got were American pancakes. And despite the savory topping, they were sweet. I had the salmon one, my friend the cheese one. I was able to order a lactose- and gluten-free pancake base. But I would have preferred them as sweet pancakes.

Bernd Nowak

Excellent glutenfree High-Tea, very friendly service

Michelina Busscher

The food is delicious and everything is taken into account!! And always wonderfully fresh!! Mostly everything healthy. Service is very friendly. Even from less pleasant situations, they still make a party of it and sometimes go the extra mile for you by being a listening ear when they have time. The atmosphere is nice and homely. And kids are also very welcome in the kids corner with books and everything included. Ideal for business meetings, intimate, quiet lunch or a serious conversation. But you are always welcomed! A really great team. Ps lactose-free and gluten-free just like decaf all available!

Kaeya

Regular bagel with pesto and mozzarella was good, and so was the matcha latte, but the gluten-free bagel looked sad and shriveled. It's better to get a GV bagel at Albert Heijn yourself

Mattijs Wind

Pretty fine for a McDonald's, but it's still a McDonald's. It's nice that you can easily order gluten-free. Very clean and friendly people working

anna rood

Nice gluten-free options

Benjamin Hepplestone

Great location, friendly and helpful service and coeliac friendly with great gluten free options and surprisingly tasty GF bread. Multi-course set options also. The team are proud of, and pleased to describe the kitchen’s creations and they should be. Highly recommended.

René de Groot

A nice place that we visit more often, because it also offers gluten-free bread. Apart from the chip shop, you can go here for a gluten-free sandwich. Furthermore, very friendly service.

Isabel Vermeulen

The service is incredibly slow. It all takes a very long time and you have to constantly approach people if you want to order something instead of them coming by regularly to check if everything is okay. It took 60 minutes from the moment we entered until we had food, that is really way too long (and then we had to approach the lady ourselves 3 times to order something). Food is fine, they can take gluten-free and lactose-free into account so that is nice.

Thomas Vasse

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly to children and good food. Gluten-free was also possible and was great!

Eric Flagg

At first glance, Utrechter may seem like a touristy spot because of its name, but hey, are you a tourist? Then go here! Service was great, our server was personable and friendly and happy to give suggestions. We had a cheeseboard (w/bread, jam, cheese, marinated artichokes, etc) perfect if you don’t want to commit to a full meal and have a couple of drinks. They even had excellent gluten free bread for one our party. If you are gluten free you know how hard it is to find good bread at a restaurant. The gin and tonic cocktails were really excellent It wasn’t busy I assume because it’s not on the always busy Oude Gracht. Easy to get a table inside or outside. Great place to chill and eat and refresh without stress

Sacha Smits

Rented a room here for 2 mornings with a group of colleagues. Including 2x lunch and 1x breakfast. Very well organised. They take everything into account. Gluten-free other dietary requirements. They coordinate well. Lunch is creative, tasty and healthy, extensive, fresh products. The breakfast was also delicious. The hospitality and service are fantastic. And the location, atmosphere, appearance very nice, living room atmosphere, friendly, inviting

Christine van Zeben

The fries were really hot and that for MC Donald's fries, is exceptional! They even have gluten-free buns for the cheeseburger, which also makes it possible for people with glute intolerance to eat a burger; you will have to wait a little longer for your burger.

Marjolein

Very nice place, super tasty food (also gluten and lactose free), cozy atmosphere, great service. The only pity is that they only have 1 toilet per gender.

Evelien P

Unfortunately an unimpressive experience; There wasn't much for me to discover here. 🪑 setting - a cozy and homely atmosphere. Lots of wood, and the theme is “travel” and the different parts of the world. Nice concept and nicely executed. We sat in the cellar, which was unfortunately a bit dark. If you are lucky enough to be on the ground or first floor, that is a nice place. 🧑‍🍳 service - was ok on first order and our drinks and food were brought quickly. After that, no one came by for an hour. We would have liked to order something. 🥗 food - unfortunately I had a mediocre experience with the camembert sandwich. The bread seemed to be two slices of “normal” supermarket bread that had not been buttered (as a good sandwich should be) and had not been clearly grilled. It was sparsely topped with thin slices of camembert, but not on the entire sandwich, so about 1/3 of the bread was bare. I also didn't think the red onion chutney was worth the name chutney. It looked more like a bowl of pickled onion pieces. I was unable to discover the walnut that is on the menu with this sandwich. Not worth repeating. There was also a fresh salad, which was tasty. 🍹 drinks - dirty chai was tasty and a nice large glass with a piece of chocolate. 🌱 Dietary needs - various vegan and vegetarian options, clearly indicated on the menu as well as gluten-free options. 🚽 facilities - neat toilet with facilities for babies. 💰 value - even though the prices are relatively friendly, I didn't think my sandwich was worth €8. I think this place is more fun to have a coffee with a piece of cake. I wouldn't recommend it explicitly for lunch.

Martijn Willering

Delicious food, nice service and many options for someone on a gluten-free diet.

jenn denlinger (JadeViolin)

Food was warm, but that's all that recommends it. I had a wrap. The chicken was really really overdone, the wrap itself was probably gluten-free. Tasted like paper. In short, people are lovely and the concept of eco-responsible food is good, but the food is not tasty.

David Taylor

Gaelle Cohen

Nice place with a beautiful terrace! Food was good. The service was friendly but very slow. They have a variety of gluten free options which was great.

Wilma Dam

Very cozy and nice staff. Gluten-free options, also vegetarian and vegan. Big plus!

D.H. Mulder

Nice restaurant, pleasant employees, to adjust the menu into a gluten-free variant was no problem. If I want to say something disappointing then it was the mushroom-rissotto. I expected more and different kind of mushrooms then only these few tiny ones. The meal itself was great.

Shawnee

Gluten free salmon rolls were delicious!

anna rood

Very nice atmosphere. I didn't know it here yet. I saw on the menu that there was gluten-free bread so I asked questions. Had a lovely lunch. After lunch we had a conversation with the chef. Very nice conversation by the way. If this bothers me, I would please let them know so that they could determine what might have gone wrong. Fortunately nothing went wrong. But promised to do so if it happened. Very nice to be taken seriously. Will definitely come back. Because, as mentioned before, the food was delicious, but the staff was also super friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant.

Anna Windorpska

I come here regularly, alone or with the kids, or with friends. Delicious sandwiches, rich and special toppings. I am also a fan of pancakes (the regular and banana version). Nice atmosphere, friendly service. View into the kitchen - mega interesting! Because my son has celiac disease, it is our regular spot - they have several gluten-free options on the menu!

Natasha van den Ameele-Mullié

Delicious sweet potato soup for lunch, full flavour. Lots of choice on the menu, pleasantly busy, friendly service. Good vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, as well as animal dishes. Right in the center. And when you go down the stairs you enter a cozy living room with various seating areas.

Gokce

So nice that they have gluten free bread 🍞

mies

Lots of delicious cakes, drinks and dishes that are suitable for people who prefer not to eat lactose or gluten :) I had the lime cake bar and it was really delicious! The interior is really cute and cozy and the staff is friendly and helpful. I think it is often quite busy, so sometimes ordering can take a little longer, but just let us know and they will come to you.

Patricia De Vries

Good fast service and tasty options. Also vegetarian and gluten-free. Good flavors.
