Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Delaware

Hannah Druss

Really great atmosphere. Great food. Shoutout to the restaurant for having safe gluten free food and having a variety of options. We will be back next vacation!

Kris Wilson

This is such a cute, fun place with awesome food and service. Oleg is the best! Their pancakes and french toast are amazing, especially the PB&J french toast (gluten-free also available). Another must try is the Hawaiian mimosa.

Terence McAuliffe

Best donuts, and best gluten free donuts. A must stop everytime at the beach. Hard stop.

We've been going to the Bethany Blues on Route 1 near Lewes for several years while on our annual Rehoboth Beach trip. The food and service is always excellent, but I'm writing this review to give them the credit they deserve for being amazing with gluten restrictions/celiac. Every single time, when I mention my gluten free diet, a manager is sent to our table and is very knowledgeable about their gluten free options. I have been gluten free since 2008 and eat out multiple times a week so I can attest that this place is definitely one of the best in handling this restriction. While most restaurants are familiar with GF diets these days, not many make a point to train their management on it and have such a consistent plan in place (they also said they now offer a gluten free bun which is great). I had the pulled pork with cheesy creamed corn and a chopped salad and it was delicious and a generous portion. Thanks, Bethany Blues, for being so accommodating!

Nectar consistently delivers great food and drinks. I love the vegetarian and gluten-free options. The no tuna fish salad is the best!! My husband is not vegetarian and gluten-free, but he loves their food too!

Mesha Williams

I can't thank Kristina’s Kitchen Express enough. I have Celiac Disease and always feel deprived of food and dessert when eating out, not here! I picked up the peanut butter pie, black and white cake, peanut butter ball and the snickers bites with a latte. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be back to try some food as well as a cold coffee beverage when in town. Next time, I will try Kristina's Kitchen, LLC on Reba Rd. I was told they have even more gluten free options!

Travis Pulling

The service was fantastic, lovely owners who were very helpful for navigating their menu for any allergy concerns. Tons of gluten-free and vegan options. Fresh food, made to order. Great location, right off the boardwalk. Make sure to try their house sauce!

Stephanie Carl

10/10! We went there for my son’s birthday and Chloe & Joan couldn’t have been any kinder or attentive. The food was delicious and fresh, the coffee hit the spot, too! I appreciated the gluten free options as well. Thanks for making his birthday breakfast so special. 🩷

We've been here several times over the years. It's got a great vibe, really energetic staff, and several solid plant based options. But when we went for dinner this past weekend I was surprised. I didn't remember it being so nickel and dimey. Lots of upcharges (including .50 for a tiny plastic cup of vegan salad dressing that my son wanted for his already overpriced veggie burger... To be fair, he said the burger was really good). And lots of just overpriced menu options in general. For example, my wife's chicken sandwich was somehow like 28 bucks (maybe because she asked for a gluten free bun?). And we had pickled appetizer thing which would have been embarrassingly underwhelming even if it cost half of what they charged for it. All in for the 3 of us it was about $140 or so with tip...and I didn't even get a cocktail (my wife had 1 and my son had a mocktail), and none of us even got a pricey entree...just sandwiches. I understand that everything is more expensive these days, but I don't typically feel screwed or "price gouged" when the bill comes (unless I'm at the airport or the ballpark or something). I did this weekend at Home Grown unfortunately.

Was really glad to find some gluten free breakfast options while on vacation. Very tasty and good service!

Kristie Walter

We are vacationing close to Bethany and came across this gem! We are gluten free and dairy free, and it was amazing to be able to eat such great food without having to worry. It can be such a challenge. The staff is so helpful and the food is so good! Ate brunch and dinner and we will be back tomorrow! Prices are very reasonable and quality is great!

Emily

The best meal I’ve had so far on my vacation! I got the gluten free chips and queso and gluten free quesadilla, my first time having a quesadilla in forever and it did not disappoint. I didn’t have a reservation but for just me I was able to be seated right away and service was fast and attentive.

thomas matusz

the best in town. great variety and gluten free options. service was fast and friendly

Carolyn

We stayed in OCMD and I was searching all week online for places like this, specially bc my daughter can't have dairy or gluten. But I also just wanted good coffee, on our way home, we passed this place and decided to wait for them to open. I'm so glad we waited because it was delicious and my daughter was able to eat something out. The breakfast sandwiches were good too.

Rockyleee

Great restaurant, great food, great servers. Also our server Mike was super kind and good at his job (and handsome). When I said I wanted gluten free bun and I said it was an allergy he immedietly started recommending gluten free sides. Very sweet and professional. Overall 5 star experience!

David Barry

The food is incredible it doesn't matter what you order it is always fresh and delicious one of the best places to eat. The pastries the cakes they are literally amazing I can't go there and have lunch and not by dessert for later. They have gluten-free options sugar-free options

Mello Twine

The gluten-free option was nice. However, this place is extremely expensive for food that was not even that good. After a long day on the beach and being pregnant, the food definitely changed the outcome of my visit. I only came to this place because the one I wanted to eat at was no longer in business.

Karen Miller

I dine in and get take out also delivery. I’m addicted to the chicken and waffles. My family comes to visit and it’s the top choice. My nieces and nephews love their breakfast croissant sandwich too. Pancakes are a hit. Thank you for offering gluten free so my family member with allergies can dine with us. Such a wonderful experience.

Mario Nappa

Gluten-free pancakes!!!!

Dawn Stewart

Great pastry including gluten free..but not enough space..tables are cramped.

Cindy Carson

Jared Bennett

Food was delicious and reasonable for the beach! Loved how they are very great with allergies and are gluten free for celiac’s. I am very appreciative with there service when asking several questions about there procedures that prevent cross-contamination. 10/10 will be back again!

Kenyatta Hill

Acai bowl was delicious. It was a little pricey but worth it. I absolutely loved that they had gluten free granola because most places don't cater to that need. And they sell it separately! Will definitely be back soon.

Fran Walls

Our granddaughter has a gluten allergy and was happy to see that the Smyrna Diner has a gluten free menu. The chicken salad sandwich looked very good and she said it tasted as good as it looked!

Sullivan Demarest

Nice atmosphere, kind staff. Despite a very busy night we were visited by managers and our server to make sure everything went well. Server did his best to accommodate the vegan and gluten free members of my party. Overall; very good food and fine service.

Amanda Sleeper

Indoor and outdoor dining options. The outdoor patio is pleasant but overlooks parking lot/driveway. Menu has multiple selections for breakfast/brunch with gluten-free options, offers multiple flavors of mimosas with pitcher options for sharing. Wait staff are friendly and check in sufficiently without rushing. I had a crab and shrimp omelet. The portion is generous and comes with a side of potatoes. The flavor was good.

Shelby Langan

The only thing I would change about this place are the hours. It would be amazing if their lunch menu was a dinner option in milton and I know they would bring in loads of business. For some reason it’s always Sunday when I get the urge to go here for breakfast. That said - the food is fantastic and the price is even better. They have done such a great job with the interior. It’s a place I have gone to sit and work and have coffee, but also a place my family loves to go to. It has a cozy feel. The people there are always wonderful. They have just enough gluten free choices that my diet doesn’t create an issue going here. I hope this place is around forever.

Terry Swirchak

When I tried to order a gluten free Kaisy (which is advertised on their menu and I’ve ordered several times before) I was told that they were “not making them.” When I asked why, and if this was a temporary change in the menu or permanent I was not offered any reason whatsoever…in fact there was basically silence on the other end of the phone. As I pressed the issue, I was met with more silence and was never offered the courtesy of an apology. This is more than an issue of not being able to order a Kaisy, we have had other service issues before. However, we kept trying to give them the benefit of the doubt but that will no longer be the case.

Angela M Ferguson

Always enjoy getting my favorite tostada stack! It's gluten free, fresh and delicious! You can customize your items easily as well.

Amanda Ahrnsbrak

I have a gluten allergy and I'm also allergic to bananas and strawberries. The staff is so helpful and absolutely amazing!

Robert Smith

Generous portions, great service, and gluten free rolls available for sandwiches. Highly recommended.

Lori Smith

I love Bagels and Boba. They have been a wonderful addition to Peoples Plaza. They have gluten free options which is greatly appreciated and delicious coffee!

Robert (SQUIRRELYDOG)

My girlfriend has gluten allergies and I'm surprised how large their gluten menu was. It's hard to find a place to eat for her. Always good here.

Zach Goodman

Coffee shop was very clean and nice. Prices were good. The service was quite good. They have a very trendy design, which looks good now but may look dated soon. It's a nice little building, an old auto shop it seems. I would change the layout, it was a bit tight to get around and the line was difficult to figure out. The coffee was good. Not amazing, but a good quality from a shop not roasting it's own coffee. They had a nice little selection of pastries, and even had gluten-free options available. My one main issue is the decaf. Like most shops they don't have drip decaf ready so you have to get an Americano. I love Americanos so I don't mind the drink, but I hate a forced upcharge for those of us who can't drink regular for health reasons. My one suggestion would be if someone asks for just a cup of decaf, offer the Americano at drop prices. Otherwise a great little shop.

Lynda Saylor

I am a bit disappointed. I am sure there is a good reason. The traditional breakfast is kinda lame if you need Gluten free toast. At least it is an option.

Chloe Schmidt

This place has amazing food and kind employees. They let me taste a smoothie I was unsure about getting and offered gluten free granola because of my allergy (which I haven’t really ever heard of). They had some nice deck tables outside to sit on. The atmosphere was great and loved the plants! Yummy food and options for anyone with strict diets! (Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). Definitely recommend!!

Selena Porcelli

Best coffee and smoothie bowls in town! I love that they support local businesses , for example using Local Roasting Co coffee and Bennet's Peaches for seasonal specials. Also love how many vegan and gluten free options are available. Love this local spot!!

Luciana Campbell

Best Mole I've tasted! Enchiladas were so good. Great drinks, atmosphere steps away from the beach and great food! Also great if you have Celiacs ...Mexican food is usually safe if you get corn tortillas!

Toni Michielli

Food was delicious, service was top notch, and love the absolutely delicious gluten free pastries available that taste better than if they were made from wheat! Oh and THE BEST BLOODY MARY EVER!

Andrea McCauley

Gluten-free bread that actually tastes good! Plus, vegetarian options. Good stuff!

Dotty Manney

We ALL know what great service is offered at Chick fil A … however, the person taking my order must have been new. I ordered grilled chicken nuggets since I have Celiac and must eat gluten free. So my order came out with breaded nuggets and although it was marked that my vehicle was correct the name on my order was incorrect … everything else about my custom order was correct so I know I didn’t pick up the wrong order. When I went back through I tried to return the whole order so they would know I wasn’t just trying to rip them off. The manager waited on me at the drive thru and kind & apologetic. This has never happened before at this location … so KUDOS to the manager!!!

Katie Bukrinsky

Wonderful food, friendly staff, great location. Wonderful place to come for an early dinner with kids, or later in the evening for dinner and drinks. Food and drinks are all delicious. I love the range of gluten-free options and how knowledgeable and friendly the staff are about allergies.

Lynne Boothe

Always so service oriented, they have gluten-free options and the orders are always right!

PBJ Wiley

I very much enjoy this drip cafe location, the staff has always been friendly and the food is good - I appreciate the gluten free options. The coffee is what I come for though. The booths are a nice seating option for meeting up with friends to chat.

Amber Russell

Love there gluten free bread. I had the egg sandwich. I wish they would sell it.

Evan Collier

Got the Farmhouse Hash...and may get it again regardless. Perfectly seasoned, good portion. Also, allowing the substitution of gluten free toast at no additional charge puts them on my good side immediately. Tasty coffee. My new breakfast place.

Mary Bohn

Thank you for adding more gluten free items! This Celiac girlie loves to try them all and grab Gluten Free Bakery Girl goodies for later!

Came for an early dinner for my first time ever at this sodel concepts. Location the Wednesday before Labor Day weekend 2024. A friend who drove down from his place in downtown Rehoboth, picked me up & drove to cottage Cafe. We did not have to wait more than a minute to be seated. With a degree in hotel, restaurant MGMT myself, & over 30 yrs in the business, I'm always aware of how important it is, whether front of the house or back of the house, when it comes to the importance of first & last impressions. My normal very calm friend concerned me when after 10 minutes of us seated, me w/ my gluten-free menu, him w/ his regular menu, began to show a little bit of impatience on his face. An urgent look that I knew I needed to take action upon. B/c after more than 10 mins, we had yet to even be greeted by a single server or employee saying or acknowledging our presence, or anything like "we'll be with you shortly." Worse, 2 other tables in that far back room each were attended to w/ servers, 1 in what appeared to have a sort of server in training scenario. (In this time, they had not only given their drink orders but received their drinks & were now giving the servers their food orders.) I got up, rushed as quickly as I could to the front door where I found 3 employees, 2 young girls and one older, possibly sat us originally - not sure- but who immediately after listening to me, asked me to take her to our table, where she immediately did everything correctly to diffuse the situation & made everything worthwhile for the rest of our stay at that establishment. It's my thought that this woman more likely than not was the mgr on duty that night. I could be incorrect but I believe her to have either a reddish or Auburn style color hair.(Not blonde, not dark). Very excellent demeanor. Not defensive whatsoever. Completely wonderfully attentive & apologetic. Was able to take our drink orders and our somewhat complex food order with no issues whatsoever of forgetting a thing . When our server who was assigned to us did come to greet us: she did apologize very genuinely. And to let me know the french fries, although listed on my Gluten-Free menu, that it's in fact a menu error/ cross-contamination issue. Was very happy with the side choice that I went with- Your coleslaw. Which was/is just slightly better than the batch I tried when I had food delivered the night before from Northeast seafood and kitchen. I was really wanting to have salmon. But unfortunately that was not on the gluten-free menu. Your kitchen went above & beyond, Pan searing the jerk salmon entree to perfection except without the jerk seasoning per my request. My friend absolutely raved about his scallops entree- also raving about the seasonal vegetables, & happy that he could take home a little bit of each as he was unable to finish his entire entree! Always enjoy your homemade sodas- root beer is excellent! Wished that they were still available by the bottle but that's being nitpicky. It was a little disappointing, however that both at Blue Coast and at cottage Cafe stock was down significantly on the four options that were normally available. You were completely out of at least two of the options at both places. I guess I would have thought that the Wednesday leading up to a Labor Day weekend you would have had a full stock of all of the sodas. Looking forward to a time when I can try the...it was either black cherry vanilla or cherry vanilla soda.
