Top 8 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Florence

Harsha S

I arrived here on a Sunday afternoon around 2 PM, and was greeted politely. There were several people in line in front of me, and after looking around briefly, there were already a few people inside. There’s around eight two-seater tables inside. They play some pleasant music, but it’s a little loud inside (because of the small space). There’s a ton of light from the open windows and vaunting ceilings. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and almond croissant to-go. The cappuccino was served in this very cutely decorated cup. They seem to offer several gluten-free options and have a rotating menu everyday that is also publicized on their social media. I’d love to try this out again around breakfast to see more of their offerings!

Delicious cheeseburger, gluten free bun was very good quality. Good standard fries. Steak Frites w/ Chimichurri was excellent.

Great coffee, wonderful smoothies, lots of options for breakfast. I’ve had the overnight oats and gluten free breakfast cookie in the past - all were tasty. We take a side trip to Florence for this coffee stop otw to and from Memphis. Expect to wait for 5 to 10 minutes for your order unless you call ahead.

If I could rate Jack’s Place more than 5 stars, I would (and I consider myself harder to please than the average customer). As a Muscle Shoals native who has since moved out of state, I was anxious to try a newer local business with my family. None of us (including those who are still local) had been to Jack’s Place Bistro, so we went solely based on Google reviews and viewing the online menu. There were six of us, ranging from 3 years old to 79 years old. Here’s what each of us ordered and what we thought… First, we started with the Pork Rind Basket (mostly because I was so hungry and my gluten allergy limits my appetizer options), and let me tell you… BEST pork rinds I’ve ever eaten. And the jalapeño ranch? I could have drank a cup of that stuff. Although we questioned the $2/person price tag, we ordered the Bread Basket for the table; it comes with three different types of bread, all distinctly different than the next. The zucchini bread is dessert worthy and has a similar taste to a quality carrot cake. There isn’t a designated kid’s menu, but the staff was happy to cater to our needs. My 3 year old had the five cheese flatbread. I wasn’t convinced she would like it because I thought it might be too advanced for her palate, but she loved it (and ate over half of it on her own)! I ordered the Tikka Masala spicy and had zero complaints, although I think the mild version wouldn’t have satisfied my need for heat. My mom and aunt shared the Pork Tenderloin Medallions. They loved the glaze on top and the sides consisting of broccoli and potatoes. Their only critique was that the core of the tenderloins had become a bit dry. My uncle had the Sautéed Chicken & Veggies and his plate looked so good. He loves spicy food, but can’t satisfy that need since having surgery. He said that his meal was very flavorful. My grandmother didn’t order a meal, but enjoyed sampling everyone else’s dinner choices. The atmosphere was 10/10 and Jack himself even delivered the food to our table. It really made the “send my compliments to the chef” a simple task. I cannot recommend Jack’s Place enough. I will definitely be returning each time I visit the Shoals.

I happened upon this little coffee shop and it was so much more than I anticipated. One of the best cups of coffee I have enjoyed! Service was excellent, Atmosphere was cozy and coffee was delicious! Options for those with gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance! Simply refreshing compared to retail coffee shops!

Not every time my order is right, but what they get right is my Gluten intolerant foods. I thought I couldn't eat here anymore,but I am so glad they have options and put even the gf bun in a separate bag and my sandwich in a container not touching other stuff. Thank you
