Top 10 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Palatine

Michael Ippolito

Quiet diner. We ordered coffee, vegetarian skillets, ( I added add corn beef hash) ,eggs basted, sourdough toast. Disappointed in the eggs, the bottom was over cooked and the yolks weren't fully basted, still sunny side up. I really liked the thick cut and toasted golden brown sourdough toast. They also serve gluten free pancakes.

The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I do wish there were additional dietary options (dairy or soy free). I appreciate they do have gluten free pasta. The minestrone soup was tomato based and reminded me of Campbell's tomato soup.

Always nice music and flowers. Truly a neighborhood favorite. Try the chocolate milkshake! Also, the gluten free pancakes are great as well. Dinner specials change monthly so make sure to try their Italian menu items.

Nicolette’s Café is an absolute gem in Palatine! From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed into a beautifully designed space that feels like a slice of Europe in the suburbs. The ambiance is warm, elegant, and filled with artistic charm—perfect for catching up with friends, having a client meeting, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee and laptop or a book. Their Dubai Pistachio Latte is a must-try—rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. But the food is just as impressive! Their panini sandwiches are made with fresh bread delivered daily, and you can taste the quality in every bite. Plus, they offer tons of gluten-free options, making it a great spot for everyone to enjoy. And if you’re a tea lover, you’ll love their selection! From classic favorites to unique blends, there’s something for every tea enthusiast looking for a comforting or refreshing drink. This family-owned café truly stands out, not just for its incredible coffee and food but for its inviting, positive energy. Highly recommend visiting and making this your new favorite spot

Large menu with lots of choices. Homemade food and very tasty. Will swap out items for my diet but I would be concerned about cross-contamination for severe allergies and Celiac. Their grilled veggies are very good.

I first went to Chappie's with two friends and we immediately loved the vibes here. It's a modern hole-in-the-wall diner with contemporary decor, family friendly atmosphere, and food options for everyone including those with seliac/gluten-free diets. Lunch and breakfast are available with my top recommendation being the chappicino. Some other menu stand outs are their smoothies which feature protein and non-protein options. But any review of Chappie's without mention of the dog himself would be incomplete. A photo of the corgi is prominently displayed behind the counter and the branding is an absolutely adorable rendition of Chappie in a cup. The establishment is very clean, service cheerful and responsive, and comfortable despite the small square footage. If you've read this far, you HAVE to go to Chappie's now 👍

Denny's is really our go to place when we're on the road because we can always find gluten-free options for my wife. Also love that we get a 15% AARP discount.

The Sweet Honey Bee latte was really good. There was also a good selection of breakfast pastries in the case. There were six types of muffins which were gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan.
