Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Hawaii

This is hands down one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The quality of the espresso and milk are incredible. I ordered whole cows milk and my husband ordered the macadamia milk latte. Both very good. Don’t miss out on all their gluten free pastries and GF quiches. First day we tried the broccoli and feta quiche & mushroom bell pepper. Both gluten free but couldn’t tell. We came back the next day to order another latte and tried the GF blueberry scone. Again, couldn’t tell the difference of gluten free or regular. They also have a little water statin to pour your own cup. I wish they had a coffee shop like this in San Diego. Highly recommend this place.

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

My husband got the regular cinnamon roll and I got the gluten free with the cream cheese frosting added on the side. They were so yummy! Gf cinnamon rolls are often a disappointment but these were so good, we went back later the same afternoon and picked up 3 more gf ones to go to have for breakfast on other mornings. The lady that makes the gf rolls is so sweet! Thank you for such a wonderful treat!

My wife and I came here on a whim and we were super impressed! The staff was super friendly and super accommodating for my wife's gluten intolerance (she has celiac). We got fried pickles which were so tasty and well portioned. We also got the spicy poke bowl and the fresh fish bowl. Our server made sure both the dishes were gluten free for us! Can't recommend this place enough!

Nicolette Shipley

Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!

Krishnabai Lewis

Yummy! Best gluten free donuts I've had.

The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.

Had a very pleasant experience having dinner here. Our waitress was so sweet, and the lake view from the back patio was gorgeous. The food was amazing and affordable compared to other places in the area. Situated near cute shops. Plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options available as well. We got the sourdough grilled cheese with tomato bisque, chicken and rib meal, and the chocolate torte. The fresh vegetables side was so good. Highly recommend:)

Chloe Turner

Friendly staff and lots of unique breads. Was pleasantly surprised to find lots of gluten free breads and treats as well. The Ube Loaf was amazing

Mark

If you're a celiac visiting Maui, rest assured that this is a safe breakfast stop for you with many gluten free options! The owners are kind people who take celiac disease very seriously and are able to provide quality breakfasts that fueled several days of hiking and snorkeling for me!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

My partner and I live on Oahu but we come to the Big Island specifically for coffee and a couple amazing restaurants. This is one of those amazing restaurants that we love so much. We came for the weekend and have gone every day. The food is amazing, we are vegetarian not vegan and typically I don’t like non dairy alternatives but I truly can’t tell that this food is vegan. The Mac and cheese was amazing and the ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The wraps, pancakes, and tacos are also our favorites. My partner is also gluten free and they make incredible gluten free options for every menu item. The service is also amazing, staff are very friendly and keep the place very clean. My partner forgot to order her pancakes gluten free and the lovely lady at the register offered to fix it for no extra cost. I highly recommend you make some time to visit Journey, it is so worth it!

Chrystal Drinkwater

Best local organic foods in Hilo. Lots of options for Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. The people are down to earth and kind. If you eat meat, they are very conscious about where they get the meat. The best Kombucha I have ever had. From the homemade cultured hot sauce to the gluten free dairy free brownies and banana splits, they do it right. Weds night they have Kava, open mic and pizza made with ancient grain organic flour. Owners are also very cool. 😎

Kate Richardson

I’ve eaten here twice and had no issues. There is a separate GF menu so ask for it at the front. I had the shrimp skewers and Hawaiian ono with no symptoms afterwards.

John Slaughter

By far the best gluten free burger I have had in my entire life. I've been celiac for 7 years and I'm always been in the search for a burger that is unrecognizable from gluten burger--and the Kevin burger is it. The meat is local and grass fed and finished, the toppings are all locally procured and that quality comes through. Highly recommend for any celiac or gluten free people or anyone that appreciates a burger with quality ingredients.

Michelle Ruth

This was fun! Great for kids! And they have gluten free batter option for the pancakes which is great!

A B

Love this place. Plenty of good gluten free options that are clearly labeled on the menu. The macadamia crusted mahi is amazing and so is the chowder. On my last visit, they had a promotion where they would match up to $50 off your meal if you donated to the Hawaii food bank.

Gina C

Came here because a gluten free wrap option was specifically mentioned by the owners in these reviews. They do not offer a gluten free wrap so don't expect to get that here. They offer gluten free bread but not exactly the same when you are looking for a breakfast burrito. They also advertise online ordering with no options to select gluten free substitutes. Disappointed.

Aaron Morse

Fantastic fine dining experience with excellent, beachfront ambiance and many gluten-free options.

Kevin Sparrow

Don’t sleep on this place. One of the best breakfasts in Maui. Super chill atmosphere and the server was amazing. If you are looking for a gluten free and celiac safe spot, this is the place.

dcDalton

This was our first time going to three's bar and grill. We waited for less than 10 minutes for a table outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For those with Celiac or gluten issues a separate is available. I ordered blackened fish which was one of the best fish I've had. We had a great dinner. You get 20% off your next meal with receipt.

Elena Gonzales

I'm so thankful we found this place! Love their gluten-free in-house made bread. It doesn't taste gluten-free, and the texture is like regular bread! Big plus for me. The food was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner here. Staff was friendly.

Grace Attalla

Our go to place for food on Maui! Super friendly family owned place that is also great with dietary accommodations (gluten free). Definitely recommend! Great for food before the airport.

Kitty C

Tasty food, large portions, 100% gluten free!

Ryan Barden

The pizza here is outstanding! Their gluten-free option stands out because it’s handmade, unlike the standard 10” frozen crust you find at most other restaurants. It’s easily the best gluten-free pizza we’ve ever had.

Michael McLaughlin

Great selection, couldn’t decide so got 7 things (!!) and all are so tasty. Favorite thus far Ube Haupia Coconut pie. Gluten free options are plentiful and appreciated. And it’s reasonable. Keep it up with the $2 brownie and cookie bars - us value shoppers say mahalo for your kokua.

Dorothy F Shelton

Such a cool place to eat! I got a spinach bagel made on gluten free bread that was a little disappointing because it wasnt super flavorful, but my husband got the pineapple pizza on gluten free crust and that was super good! I appreciate there being gluten free options! They will make the bagels or sandwiches with gluten free bread! And they play hawaiian Jesus music and they just put on such a nice atmosphere here. :) this place deserves more business!

Amber Turkin

Amazing experience! We were able to get a same day reservation and were seated early upon our arrival even with the restaurant already being busy. The food was absolutely incredible - definitely the best we had during our stay in Kauai and maybe the best we’ve had in several months (years? Who knows - time passes so quickly these days). We loved our drinks (both booze and non-alc choices), our entrees (Keoki’s style, panko Mac nut crusted, and chef’s fresh fish duo), dessert (the bread pudding and mango GF pono pie) and the overall ambiance (beautiful setting, live music). They were super accommodating of gluten and nut allergies too. Definitely recommend!

Peter Ryczek

If I could do negative stars, I would. Story time. Husband & I chose this place for the gluten free burger bun option. We went to a previous restaurant that we thought was GF, it was unfortunately not. Husband already ordered/recieved his food to go. We explained this to the host & asked permission to bring husband's food in so that I could order and eat with him - THE HOST AGREED AND SAT US! We were then harassed by both the sever & manager seperately about the outside food. We explained to them both we were here for the gluten free option, and husband would order drink(s) ect. Didn't stop the manager from being rude to us AFTER we already explained our situation and were seated without resistance. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years, I was appalled. Train your staff better; don't agree to seat customers who are being transparent and then harass them anyways. Don't spend your money here.

I ordered a piece of cake and a piece of banana cream pie. The cake was far too sweet; definitely made to appeal to a child's palette. I liked the pie; though, it was heavier on the cream than it was on the banana filling; they need to work on their ratios. My partner had a gluten free whoopie pie and similarly found the filling to be far too sweet.

Inanna Morrow

Food is amazing and plenty of gluten free options available. Chelsea was so so sweet and welcoming, treated me like family genuinely so kind. There are also some sweet kitties outside the building that welcome everybody in! Such a great place.

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

Luis

Great place very peaceful, the fruit, the pizza everything is good. Gluten-free fig pizza is awesome 👌🏽

Tiffany Rupp

You can't quite call us regulars but we've been here enough since the 90s to know we have to make a stop by here every trip. The pizza is fantastic. Love that they have so many gluten free and dairy free options. We came too late for bakery items but will return for them later.

Chalise Grogan

Gluten-free (and can be made dairy-free) arepas! Excellent food and great shaded seating area. Worth a stop.

Alisa Shenigo

If this poke restaurant were on the mainland, it might earn a solid five stars. However, while it was enjoyable, it didn’t quite blow me away. The macaroni salad was a standout—thick, creamy, and bursting with flavor. I also tried the pork belly appetizer, which was crispy and delicious, though a dipping sauce would have elevated it to perfection. Our server was delightful and attentive, but we ran into an issue that dampened the experience. One person in our party has celiac disease, and she was offered a special gluten-free menu. She clearly explained to the staff that this wasn’t a preference but a severe allergy requiring strict care. They assured her the food would be handled properly, yet her salad arrived with a noodle in it. The manager stepped in and offered to remake it personally, but by then, she’d lost confidence in their cross-contamination protocols.

Zach

Easily one of, if not my favorite place to eat in Hilo. A beautiful atmosphere filled with flowers and joy. The food is extremely fresh and they go the extra mile to make sure they source high quality local, organic ingredients. This cafe is a Hilo Staple and a must visit. And don't forget to check out all of there wonderful gluten free, vegan desserts!!!

Nanette Gefreh

Wonderful choices for gluten-free. My family each ordered something different, and we were all delighted with our meal!

Aidan S

Wonderful gluten free food. My celiac wife had no problem eating here!

Alexis Webster

Best place ever!!! They have gluten free.

M R

We ate here on two different nights. Tristan and Zac were our servers and helped us navigate gluten-free options. They were both excellent and did a great job.

Christine Smith

Gluten free pancakes were amazing, great service too!

Kitty C

Tasty breakfast with lots of gluten free options. We eat here about once per week and I have not been gluten end. Solid breakfast/brunch choice.

Samantha Holloway

As someone with gluten and dairy intolerance they were very professional, knowledgeable, and took the issue seriously. The menu is clearly marked with gluten free items and you can ask about dairy free. I had the short rib with kimchi fried rice and vegetables which was very tasty. The frozen drinks are dairy free. Mahalo to our server Limar! If you are GF and DF your best options are the 12 oz ribeye with rice instead of mashed potatoes or the short ribs with kimchi fried rice and vegetables. The fryer is not GF. The staff is very attentive and friendly. There was recorded music playing lightly that was pleasant and relaxing.

Jon Baniak

Great option for gluten free people. Pancakes were excellent but $16 for plain buttermilk seems steep. Bacon was very average tasting thin slices and I was expecting more/better given the $10 for 3-4 slices. If budget isn't a factor for you and gluten free is something you need I would say this is likely one of the best options on the island. Staff was very nice as well!

Gillian Haden

Delicious gluten free and dairy free ice cream, right off the beach! The fruit was always fresh, and the combinations were perfect!

H P

Everything but the meatballs can be made gluten free and everything is delicious. Ate here several times and had no problems. They are so kind and will help you make anything GF.

Rachel Overvoll

The best gluten free breakfast sandwich on island! Plus incredible staff and atmosphere.

Tanya Lin

For planet friendly food this is my happy place in Kailua-Kona. It's a food truck like shack in the middle of a parking lot, with shaded seating areas with reed screens and a drive-through option. Free 1 hour parking for an hour. I appreciate how tasty the jackfruit nachos and gluten free pizzas are.

Niki Strealy

Only a couple GF options, but GF garlic shrimp is delicious!
