Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Gainesville

Chandra Wiebe

The best gluten free pizza I have ever eaten! Thick and buttery crust! It was incredible! I will definitely be back!

Tushar Patel

Absolutely amazing. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. Fresh, local, homemade.

Smaller Metro than some others I have been in so the menu is a bit more limited. Most importantly for us is the availability of meals that are gluten free. There is a separate menu making things easy for those with a celiac medical condition. Enjoyed their steak sandwich. My partner enjoyed an excellent chicken salad on a GF bun. Waitress was wonderful. Decor is simple as you would expect in a local, stripmall eatery. Clean with good food. Metro's chain has not let us down.

They took great care for our gluten free child. The food was delicious, service was great. We will definitely return when in Gainesville.

I am super late posting this lol but I have celiac disease and every time I eat here they are soooo accommodating and have so much options for gluten free meals and I am especially grateful and happy that they have a cheesecake that is delicious and gluten free. ❤️🤤🥰🫶🏻 If you have celiac disease it is safe to eat here and has supply yummy foods.

Gluten Free Bagels!

Josie Jansen

Beautiful, clean, welcoming environment! Danny, Brenny, and Raphael were very helpful & kind. Incredible gluten free options— including sweet potato noodles & coconut chicken tenders. Best meal I’ve had in Gainesville!! Would definitely come back!

Danielle Cline

Great gluten free and vegan options!

Our waiter GatorJim was the best! After explaining I had to be Gluten Free Jim led me to several great choices on the main menu to choose from. I had the Spurrier’s Bacon Cheese Burger without the red onion and it was fantastic! I asked what the meat was and the Manager said Wagyu Beef! It was the best ever! My wife had the filet and mac and cheese. The filet was great, but we both like cheddar Mac and cheese so the white cheese kinda threw her off a little. I have to be gluten free and they offer a gluten free bun. I was very happy to see the many Gluten Free and Vegan choices clearly marked on the regular menus. Dessert for both of us was Creme brûlée and was really delicious too! Over all we had a grand experience. Couldn’t ask for better date night out with my honey!

Went to Karma Cream to get Gluten free bakery items.Stood waiting, and woman at cash register didn't say good morning ,or may I help you? I stepped up to ask of GF, and she said Only if they decide to have GF available! What? She suggested ice cream!? What?,!The rude attitude wasn't helpful! Why advertise GF bakery products if not the case.Good,and friendly service also goes along way! Remind employees that!Do better!!!

My wife and I went here for a date. The atmosphere was comfortable enough with a rustic, industrial, vintage-like quality. It's a nice break from newer construction. We liked the gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. We are neither, but those options do accommodate some food that we try to avoid. The quality of the pizza was high, but we thought that $15 for a 10", thin-crust, scarcely-topped pizza was too high, even in the inflated economy. I'm an average size man, but I imagine that many men would need at least 1 1/2 of those pizzas.

Excellent food. Loved the waffles with peach compote and the eggs had a perfect consistency!! Our waitress was amazing too wish I knew her name but she was super friendly and nice. They also had gluten free options and vegan options. We will definetly be back.

Sabrina Elenore

This was my first time here today and I came for a quiet nice environment to study and do my school work and that is what I got! It is so cute and omg the gluten -free waffle I had is outstanding!! Everyone come here

Terrific Gluten free options!!!😍

One Love Café is a laid‑back, open‑air spot tucked into Magnolia Parke Plaza in northwest Gainesville. They’re open Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays), serving up breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunches with bottomless mimosas, bellinis, and Bloody Marys. The ever‑rotating menu of farm‑fresh, locally sourced American handhelds, burgers, salads, and seasonal specials caters to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten‑free diets, and the full bar pours everything from craft cocktails to a solid beer and wine list. Come for karaoke on Tuesdays, Jazz in the Parke every Wednesday, live music Thursday through Sunday—and soak it all in under a canopy of string lights, around a fire pit, or out on the sprawling, kid‑ and dog‑friendly field. Here’s the inside scoop: One Love tends to get slammed on weekends—especially Fridays and Saturdays—so service can slow down a bit when they’re really busy. Thankfully, that shipping‑container bar out front has helped speed up drink lines big time. If you want a primo spot (think fire‑pit front row or a comfy Adirondack chair), roll in right when they open or at least early enough to snag a table. I always tote a blanket and a folding chair to stake out my territory on the grass. And don’t sleep on happy hour—swing by from 3–5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday for buy‑one‑get‑one half‑off drinks. It’s the perfect little pick‑me‑up or pre‑game ritual.

Forgot to put strawberry in my strawberry lemonade, and forgot our gluten free bun both we paid extra for

Shannon Colon

Helena Mawdsley

Food was ok. Service was terrible. Server not knowledgeable about allergies or even what certain items where. Food took either forever to come out or not at all. Ordered grilled tilapia; it came out breaded which not edible for someone with gluten allergy.

Abigail Medina

I was sat at the counter table by the hostess but was never served after waiting 15 minutes at my seat. Seems I was forgotten. Save yourself the trip, the menu is overpriced "elevated brunch" (if you can even call it that) for plates that you can practically make at home and these dishes cost extra for protein. As I returned my menus to the hostess and explained my situation of not being served, I overheard another unhappy customer asking where she can get an actually decent salad (yikes). Overall, there are much better brunch places in gnv (check 43rd street Deli, Flying Biscuit, Maple Street Biscuit Company). Hell, even Waffle House does a better job. Also, they have 0 gluten-free options.

Tried this spot for the first time. My wife and daughter shared a gluten free pizza and they had to say it was fantastic. Best gluten free crust ever. I thought I'd be able to fishe my small x 10 but couldn't. It has a smokey flavor and was also very good...we will be back .

Alyssa Ciaccio

So many tasty treats. Their macaroons are gluten free. Cute little gifts for sale. I wish there were more allergy friendly options. Otherwise, it's a really cute place with yummy treats.

Ania

Good, not great. We popped for a quick dinner. The hotel looks like a newer, trandier one. The menu was not updated on the website, so we were slightly surprised. Tried the Ribeye and Flat Iron steak, preferred the second. They were also testing their key lime pie, and I have to say, it was pretty good! While we'd cook better dinner ourselves, it was ok. It's still a solid option, just nothing special. The server was very helpful and knowledgeable about the gluten free options.

Erin Coolican

Love that I can get any sandwiche on gluten free bread 😁

Maria Beatriz de Souza Cortez

Gainesville has these amazing unique places!!! Super interesting menu! Amazing pancakes. Gluten free friendly!

Heather

Homey, unpretentious, and wholesome. Inspired to do art and write while there. Loads of options for vegetarians and some for vegan and gluten free! Coffee was great too.

britt_camo13

Found this little cafe when turned on the wrong road lol. Owe it was so delicious!! It was mid evening busy, I got the combo a chicken Caesar wrap with Broccoli salad and chocolate custard. (The ice cream was for my mom). My mom got a Caesar salad with chicken. Just a few mins and someone brought us our food. Everything was cooked /prepared perfectly. They have vegan choices. Also other yummy desserts like cheesecake, cookies, and gluten free choices. Definitely recommend!! 😍

Abriel Mauerman

Tacos are always good here if you have to be gluten free.

Z Z

Love their GF muffins

Maria Catalina Vergara Egan

Delicious macarons, I cannot pick a favorite! If I have to pick a favorite... Madagascar Vanilla, but the Mango, the Keylime... Very nice gentleman helpd us, personable and professional. BONUS! Macarons and meringues are GF gluten free! Visit this great place and enjoy.

Braden Nida

We had a very lovely meal, there was no wait at the time. The restaurant was very busy, food was coming out in a very timely manner. Our server was very wonderful and attentive. The food was really nice, but slightly lacking. My daughter got the chocolate chip pancake and it was wonderful. My girlfriend got an omelette with gluten free toast and home fries. It was nice but the home fries lacked any seasoning and she said that they were quite bland. It was very nice to see a lot of gluten free options for her since she's allergic. I had the chicken and waffles. They were nice, but the chicken seemed to be lacking, either a 3rd piece would have been great, or thicker pieces of chicken. There was more breading than meat. The Cajun syrup could also use some pop to it, it was marginally seasoned vs normal syrup. The blueberry butter was excellent. Overall we had a wonderful meal and we were very happy with the experience.

Syn White

I'm giving this store a five based off the amazing customer service received by Brooke and Cudjo! They were so amazing, friendly and just both had beautiful smiles that wouldn't quit! The food was good also. I have celiac disease and took a chance. I did let Brooke know about it. No reaction to the food. The highlights of my visit though were the customer service and the cleanliness of the place was fantastic! Thank you so much to them for making my day great! I needed it!

Dennis Smith

We found their stand at a community sale at McIntosh and tried their gluten free empanadas. They were delicious. I wish we had taken some home.

Cory Anderson

Really good portion sizes for the price. After the UF vs Miami game we had no trouble getting a table for 6. TONs of vegetarian/vegan options and gluten-free (corn tortillas)

CR Dean

I've been to a few different ABE locations, but I think this one is my favorite for three reasons: 1. Solid place to do a solo breakfast date for yourself and read a book. 2. I've been twice and sat at the bar twice, and the first time, Kaylee, a bartender, offered some great reading suggestions and made an excellent spiked cold brew, and the second time, Austin, made a bomb milagro sunrise. 3. They're conscious of food allergies and needs, Austin was quick to get my food remade fresh and with no crosscontamination when it came out with bread on it (rip celiac), and went above and beyond to get it right.

Kyle Mc. (McclellandKmra)

Always quality food with plenty of gluten free options.

Chantal W.

This is a great spot. The food was delicious with a lot of options (including plenty of gluten free choices). The hot sauce they have is great and extra spicy. The queso is delicious. The staff was kind and super helpful with all of our questions. The inside is really well decorated and comfortable and there is a huge outdoor area with picnic tables and some playground sets. Perfect for kids and families!

John Poling

Nice diner/bakery. Loved their muffins before some medical stuff lead me to being gluten intolerant. The waitress is sassy at times, but in a good way, and the food has always been solid. I mostly eat eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns there.

Daniel Luttinger

The wife and I had a pit stop in Gainesville and were starving. When looking at breakfast restaurants we were looking for a place with a selection of gluten free and vegan options for my wife. When this was one of the suggestions we were not certain how this would turn out. But, it ended up to be a very pleasant surprise. American style diner with authentic breakfast cuisine that still had some gourmet options such as goat cheese for their skillets. The portions were plentiful, the hashbrowns were crispy throughout which almost never happens eating out and their omelets as well as their skillets were loaded with veggies and meat. Wife had the "bellybuster" veggie skillet and I had the Philly one; both were well above most places. The service was attentive and genuine. If you are expecting upscale dining this is not the place; if you would like authentic American style diner food with home made flair this is the place. If in the area we would be happy to return here and may even try their brunch.

Sabrina Grubb

Always fresh-fast-real and AFFORDABLE Mexican food! Whether your gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan or a meat-eater they have something for everyone! GREAT Services and Friendly staff at El Indio!

Keeth Smith

Perfect place to go for a quick bite to eat even if you're gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian. For gluten-free, they serve pizzas, sandwiches, pasta, and deserts. If you are unsure where something is all you need to do is ask to speak with someone. The staff are very considerate and accommodating to your needs.

Rachel Clark

This place is amazing and I recommend it to all my friends. Love that all my friends can eat here (vegetarian and vegan options!) But if they offered gluten free bread or cracker options, it would have made this a 5 star review. UPDATE: CHANGED TO 5 STARS!

Anna Mattessich

Got a gluten free salad, gave me a rash, but tasted really good !!

Jason Hartz

The mushroom toast was delicious. We really enjoyed our time here. This was our third attempt at finding a vegan restaurant that could provide vegan and gluten free food that didn’t have other allergens that affected us. We were very happy with the staff, the service and the food. We will definitely return.

Deanna Cardwell

First time visiting Patticakes, but it certainly won't be the last. They have the best red velvet cupcakes bar none. Also bought a gluten-free pumpkin buckwheat muffin that was moist, buttery, and also very delicious. If you're looking for a treat, Patticakes should definitely be your destination.

Celeste Ortiz

Lovely little date night spot! Daisy our server was very sweet and helpful :) The happy hour small charcuterie was perfect for a pre-dinner appetizer. Even put the bread on the side for me because I’m gluten free. Would recommend!

Steven

Smoothies are good, healthy, organic products and gluten free. Establishment is very clean.

derrick gregory

Thank you for the newish gluten-free vegan muffins. More gluten-free baked goods, please.

D B

Our 1st time here; recommended to us. We celebrated our 20th anniversary.... great atmosphere, excellent service, & affordable delicious fresh meals. Great local fish & crustacean options. Gluten free options. Staff knowledgeable about food allergies. We will return!

Smiley B

Highly recommend the gluten-free breakfast bagel. Just make sure to double check cross contamination practices as they don't have a separate toaster. Their iced coffee is delicious!

Patricia Moore

Although there aren't too many gluten free options on the menu. What is on the menu is always fresh and delicious. 😋 typically greeted with someone friendly and the coffee options are always good too.
