Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Scotland

Claire Graham

Lovely and amazing selection but wow, were they sweet, even my kids didn’t eat much. Was gutted to miss the doughnuts, apparently you have to get there early. The sausage rolls were amazing, closest thing I’ve had to a normal one in 20years plus.

Paul Steinmann

Super friendly service, very delicious sandwiches, most dishes available gf. Gluten free. Also a quiter place, a bit out of the touristic zones. We have been here every day we spend in edinburgh! ... okay, 2 days, so only twice, but still !

Bethhy

Amazing Gluten Free food, particularly the pastries - which are rare to find in Scotland and even rarer to find a good one. SO TASTY!

Akshay Patel

Really nice gluten-free fish and chips, and nice selection of soft drinks and beer.

Ingie

As a coeliac this is my no.1 stop for breakfast in Glasgow! ⭐️ Amazing gf pancakes and super allergy aware staff. The choices are really extensive and reasonably priced.👏 Service is fantastic, would like to give a wee shoutout to Sophie whose smile is contagious and always makes sure you’re well looked after. Thoroughly recommend! 😊

Olivia C

The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!

Jessie

Stopped in for a quick bite before a day of exploring and we’re glad we did! Delicious and filling comfort food. Several gluten free and/or veggie options. Friendly service and pretty quick considering how busy the place was. Always a great location. All around very pleased!

Julia Villoldo

We ate very well. One of us is celiac, and the pizza was delicious. They were very attentive to our tastes. Our waitress, Maria, was very attentive and helpful. My only complaint is that the tables are very close together.

Kane Sainsbury

A hyped up place on lots of GF/DF Edinburgh blogs. The staff were friendly and accommodating, Coffe was good, but sadly not a great review from me. Party of 4, prebooked. We arrived hoping for some yummy or interesting breakfasts as the menu seemed to promise. Their gluten free options were limited and the bread served was horrendous quality, not even toasted or buttered?! We paid between £11 and £17 a head. The food was mediocre at best. Would've liked to try the french toast as that looked and smelt amazing!...but it is only available with dairy. Poached eggs tasted of vinegar. I would not recommend the items we chose: za'atar spiced scrambled eggs on toast with spicy hollandaise, fresh coriander & jalapeno salsa - very meh and surprisingly flavourless. poached eggs on toast, + mushrooms + gf bread - tiny mushrooms grilled into oblivion, possibly the worst gf bread ever, untoasted and unbuttered. hummus on sourdough toast with cherry tomatoes, pickled shallots, za'atar, salda verde, capers & crispy chickpeas - the most interesting of all that we ordered, but really needed more salt! Anyone else of hummus being the go-to for vegans?

Victor Desmet

Would certainly recommend this place! Amazing for breakfast and brunch/lunch. I had the Scottish salmon toast, and my gluten intolerant and dairy free friend had the best pancakes. There were a lot of other Gluten free options available! Sweet staff and quick service even though it was quite busy!

Kat V

Will proactively ask about allergies etc. Felt very well taken care of. Food tasted amazing

Stacy Heller

We were in the neighborhood doing some shopping and one of the shoppes mentioned Côte. It was nearby and we walked in during a busy lunch time. The accommodated us very nicely considering we didn’t have a reservation. I adore French food but never get to go when dining with my daughter who is gluten and dairy free. However, they had so many items to choose from for her. The food was outstanding!!! Cannot wait to go back.

Natalia Fernandez Caja

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Jannicke Røseng

Very nice food! I apprechiate that the menu is marked with what is gluten free. Had the chicken skewers, very big portion and everything was tasty. I am a sensitive celiac, had no ill effects after the meal.

Looby Lou

Went here yesterday for my sister’s bday. Ordered scrambled egg on toast. It arrived like slop on the plate. Had been done in a microwave and hadn’t been scrambled. Toast was on the side and not buttered with no butter alongside. Completely tasteless. The only thing that saves it is the lovely waitress who was really nice and the gluten free caramel cake which was delicious. Won’t be back though as overpriced and too rustic for my taste.

Meriel Graham

Fantastic breakfast. Had the gluten free option of the full breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Linzi Todd

Amazing Toastada’s, chocolate cake, and scone was amazing too, went back for the Mac Cheese and haggis today. Fantastic going out to eat and knowing you’re completely safe.

Orla McGrath

Had a great experience with hen party of 12 at this restaurant this weekend, food and drinks lovely and there was something for everyone, they had no problems advising on gluten free substitution last minute, 3 course group menu value for money and atmosphere was lovely, buzzing and we could chat freely. Easy to book and deposit was taken off bill as advised. Thank you very much

Rick Galliher

My gluten free wife and I dined here for dinner. I had the tangine, it was great. She had the steak salad and was very happy. Service was good, we rarely saw the same person twice, but we were taken care of.

Nicholas Anner

Traveler ++++ Gluten - Free ++++ Excellent experience for a family with a celiac. Amazing fish & chips, and care for the customer experience. Don't be off-put by the harsh policies around reservations, there place is worth it.

Lisa Kieffer

The food here is really good, and you're right on the water (across a street) which creates a wonderful atmosphere especially when the weather is sunny. They have a gluten free menu with really great options and dedicated gluten free fryer. I got the "locally smoked haddock chowder" which was phenomenal and came with a GF bun/roll. I also got the gluten free fish and chips which were basic but good and a very large portion.

Kane Sainsbury

We came here for the final breakfast of a mini break. We were sent over from scran who recommended Hula for allergens. The breakfasts were overpriced and painfully mediocre. I massively resented paying £40 for 2 blah coffees, and 2 plates of avocado toast, one of which was on the crapest gluten free bread available. Sorry Hula, maybe we ordered wrong but really not worth it.

Moira McCarthy

Lovely afternoon tea with plenty of GF options. The sandwiches and cakes were lovely.

Michelle Dickson

We have eaten here for quite a while but this time it was not great. Whether it was new staff or a new recipe, the gluten free batter on the fish was not very nice at all.

Toria Petrie-Armstrong

Amazing service from the minute we arrived and even a joke with one of the servers as we were leaving 😊 The food options are varied and I did have slight food envy of the table beside me. However my food was amazing, perfect flavour and good quantities. One of friends is a coaliac and there is a separate gluten free menu and they have separate cooking utensils etc in the kitchen to make sure there is no contamination. My other friend is a vegetarian and she liked that there are vegetarian options and vegan options. All in, this is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh

Ezra Asher

If you're Gluten Free, go to the other Singl-end in Garnethill. Merchant City say that they're Coeliac friendly and have GF-available on dishes, but when you order those dishes Gluten Free they then say they have to take a lot of ingredients out. Which would be fine, except when we went the chef refused to do the swaps saying it would be too much work. So despite what my previously excellent experience of Singl-end was (from going to the Garnethill branch), do NOT go to Merchant City if you have Coeliac.

L.

Very tasty food, also a special menu for gluten-free dishes. The friendly staff pointed out possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen. Highly recommended.

Jeremy Lainer

Really good food. The pastas all tasted fresh and the gluten free pizza was done well. Great service from Magda. Thank you for a great experience on our last night in Inverness. Eat here if you don't know where else to go!

Richard Coffey

Very nice dining atmosphere at this venue and there was an acoustic music gig as well on Halloween. There's a gluten free menu too which is great. Overall, the service was very friendly, especially from Mallory the waitress who served me. The shop could be stocked with a wider variety of souvenir items though.

Elena

Recommended place to eat excellent sweet and savory pancakes. They offer different types of dough, including low fat and gluten free (very careful about contamination). Cute place!

Rachel Dawes

Entire gluten free menu, many great options

Aly Dalos

Fabulous coffee, great gluten free cakes, and super friendly people!

Kiana Rome

We had a lovely time. Tanya was amazing and attentive! Love the gluten free friendly pasta!

Sam Stone

Came to this lovely place with some friends who lived nearby and recommended it. Really lovely big open room with loads of windows that look out onto the sea. Very good menu of breakfast/lunch/treat options. Their cake displays by the entrance have an amazing range of different items (including lots that are gluten free/vegan) I had a piece of the carrot cake which was amazing. Not only the best carrot cake I've ever had but also one of the best cakes too. The texture of the cake was perfect and the flavours of the carrot and different spices was also really really good. My wife had a bacon roll which was very nice. Perfectly cooked bacon on a really lovely roll. The staff were all really lovely as well. Our friends had their baby with them so we spent a really long time ordering/eating/cleaning up afterwards and we didn't feel rushed at all (despite an endless queue of people waiting to be seated) We also got some extra carrot cake and other treats to take away which were also really good (Tip - cheaper price of you buy the cakes to take away) Highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area

Isabel

Lovely treatment, big portions and tasty food. Gluten free options available and some interesting cbd treats. Top!!

Neil Pert

Absolutely brilliant restaurant. The food is outstanding. They have a fantastic gluten free menu. So my daughter can actually eat somewhere. Probably one of the best restaurants I've ever been to

Calum Welsh

Excellent Cod fish suppers. The gluten free options are also good. Highly recommended.

Adrián Hurtado

What a lovely place! Great fopd, very very tasted. The soap tasted very good and the mushroom burger was delicious. They have gluten free options.

Robert Whitford

This place is amazing! The haggis is so delicious. A whiskey sauce that isn't only about the whiskey. Such friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nearly everything has a gluten free, veg, or vegan option. Absolutely a must.

Height Club Scotland

Smashing wee cafe serving big portions at reasonable prices. Friendly staff, and everything can be made coeliac-friendly (so yes, I added a black pudding to my burger!). Big car park, outside tables (no dogs inside) as well as inside, and we got an inside table with a view of Arthurs Seat 20 miles away!)

Anna Hewett

My family stopped here almost immediately after arriving in Glasgow for the first time. We were exhausted from a long flight, barely standing! The Willow Tea Rooms brought us back to life - it’s rare all of us to enjoy something at the same time, but this won everyone over. Absolute heaven. I got the gluten free traditional afternoon tea and my partner got the savory tea. Our son ate all of his ham and cheese sandwich, which is rare, as he’s very picky. Thrilled with our experience, will be back!

Lynsey Mcintosh

Very pleased to discover this place after a day's travelling! Gorgeous pizza with great, friendly service. Very happy that they offered gluten free and dairy free pizza options too. Free from shakes and puddings were also available. We sat outside as we also had our dog with us- outside heating in sheltered area meant we were warm too. Spent all evening here, enjoying mains, desserts and several rounds of drinks.

E Johnson

Had a lovely lunch, gluten free options available. Food was fresh, despite being busy it didn’t take long to get served, it was piping hot and delicious.

Gillian Scott

The food is great and the staff are very friendly 😊. They also offer a Gluten free menu and the staff are very knowledgeable in this area. We ate here twice during our 4 day stay at Craig-Tara. Would highly recommend.

Daniel Mcshane

very nice and cosy, delicious sandwiches! I'm gluten free, and both their gf bagels and their soups were amazing!

Brenda fleming

This is one of my safe places that I can eat. The food is amazing and the staff are really lovely and welcoming.

Charlie

Really great for gluten free. Great amount of choice and super tasty. Having dietary restrictions doesn't ever seem like an issue. Coffee was tasty too! And dog friendly almost the perfect cafe. Only improvement would be a second bathroom. One disabled toilet for such a large cafe isn't really enough...

Bec Gathmann-Landini

I cannot imagine a better dining experience. We traveled from London to Scotland and this was, leagues and away, the best meal of our trip. Everything was fresh, inventive, seasoned perfectly, and the server talked us throughout the evening and was delightful and funny. Both my kids devoured their meals and wanted more, which is a rarity. Our drinks weren’t overly sweet, and our desserts were outstanding. We ordered almost half the menu and would come back and order the entire menu if we could. As someone who often struggles eating gluten-free (allergy), this was a meal I could get over and over and I am so grateful for our dining experience!!

Donna Avery

Loved this surprise find! Stumbled in here looking for something warm to drink and got this mulled wine and gluten free carrot cake.

Andy Taylor

Great gluten-free options 👌
