Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Iowa

Jacinda Daniel

Everything is gluten free which was amazing, I didn't have to worry about only getting to choose from two items on the menu. The salsa options were a bit odd, there was a cheese/yogurt type dip among the four they give you and it just didn't fit with the Latino flavors well, it was more Mediterranean in taste. Definitely pricier for how much food you get but the chips are a free refill. When I asked about diet pop options I was told they didn't have any but they have what appeared to be a full bar with a fountain pop sprayer (which normally would have at least one diet option). The only thing I could have to drink was water there (I'm a type one diabetic and regular pop is a bad situation).

Love this place. Great gluten free options & excellent service!

Natalie Clark

I highly recommend any of the burgers, pizzas, and especially the chicken tenders. LOVE

Jennifer VanSickle

I come here for the gluten-free cakes and treats. Only once did I have an old slice, I won't pick the last one next time. Can't wait to see what's on the counter next time I pop in

Mark Knight

I'm gluten free and was thrilled that Club Car had a separate GF menu that included a lot of choices. They even had GF soups!!! Fun atmosphere, great service and great food at reasonable prices. We really enjoyed Club Car and definitely will visit again.

Jon Burk

Endless food and bottomless mimosas/bloody marys/mixed drinks is a hell of a way to start a weekend. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and there were plenty of options for gluten free eaters.

Cortez Jones

Had the BEST experience here. Trying to find a restaurant that offers a gluten free menu as well as regular with no discernible differences in taste is 1 in a million and buzzard Billy’s is exactly that. Any time we ever come back it will be good at BB. Kristen, Kela and shiree are the best servers EVER!

My chicken chiabatta sandwich was a bit dry and the food selection was limited, but they did have substantial gluten free options. The setting and staff were very nice, making it an overall excellent experience.

Natasha Huffman

This bakery is vegan and gluten free, and everything I've had from here is absolutely amazing! The people working are always warm and welcoming as well, definitely recommend:) and don't forget to check out the antiques upstairs!

Café d'Marie is a destination restaurant for us. On any roadtrip, we intentionally time our trip so that we can stop at this wonderful establishment. The food is incredible, with their paninis, soups, drinks, and desserts always tasting amazing and bringing something unique. They are incredibly accommodating to dietary restrictions with both vegetarian and gluten free options. The ownership and waitstaff are incredibly kind and ensure that you have a positive and comfortable experience. The space itself is gorgeous and offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Davenport.

Best keto/gluten free food I’ve had!!!

I was really excited to go here and get gf crepes. The reviews made it seem super safe. We walked in a the staff was not friendly whatsoever, the girl practically threw the cups and water at our table. I was watching them cook the crepes and they cleaned everything with what looked like chemical cleaning spray. I was also nervous because I could only see the one container of nutella that they were using for all of the non-gf crepes and was questioning if they would open a new container. They didn’t, I watched them use the exact same knife and container for my crepe. Overall disappointed.

I ordered a special catering meal for a family dinner and was absolutely blown away by both the service and the food! They went above and beyond—creating a custom menu just for us, making flatbread per my special request (even a gluten-free version!), and communicating quickly and kindly throughout the whole process. When I came to pick it up, the staff was so friendly and welcoming—they even had me sampling things at the counter! I genuinely felt like I was at home. Everything was delicious, and I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

Adriana Della Pietra

They have GF cupcakes. They are good! They store them separately and top them with separate saccapoche to avoid cross-contamination. I am celiac and this is a wonderful place to enjoy something sweet!

Brad Wiese

Had Gluten free options.

Hunter Gonzales

Food was delicious and decently priced, so many gluten free options. Service was quick and simple nice but not always checking up on you but consistent service overall. Kinda nosy but private as well. Definitely would come back as an outastater 👏

Sonja Dicken

Cute diner with friendly staff and great food. We went with party of 6, some had breakfast, some salad or sandwich. Everyone enjoyed. I highly recommend the Bluebird juevos as it was excellent. They even had good gluten free pancakes for our celiac group member.

Michelle Julius

Lots of gf options! The manager explained the menu which was clearly marked with many gluten free options. We enjoy the cheese curds from their dedicated fryer. Thanks to the Find Me Gluten free app for helping us find a celiac safe dining opinion in North East Iowa!

Amanda Frank

Trevor and Cordell did an incredible job! We get them almost everytime we come and their service never disappoints. They make each dining experience one to remember! The food is fire as always! Thankful for all the gluten-free options!

ReFarming Microgreens

Not bad option for Gluten Free casual dining. The GF beer is amazing, but no potato vodka option like the Map Room. There is only one GF bun, so don't expect a "hoagie" with the Philly Cheese Steak - the flavor of which is good, but not great. I shied away from the special coleslaw due to the accents about the cilantro, but when I asked for a taste, it was good. And the black bean salad was AMAZING! (despite the canned beans). Only mildly busy on this Monday happy hour, but very friendly customers! B.T. Is not a fan of women on their own (observed over 2hrs).

Adriana Della Pietra

Kindred is a casual café with delicious breakfast, brunch or lunch 100% gluten free. As celiac, it is rare to have the possibility to choose anything from the menu without cross-contamination. This is the only place in Iowa city with a 100% GF kitchen. Additionally, I loved the vibe of the place: young and casual.

Nicholas Kalianoff

Great place to sit on the patio or watch the games. Very conscious about gluten free options also. Good drinks, reasonable prices.

Haley Downe

This place ROCKS!! Our server Olivia was great and we really enjoyed the coffee, gluten-free pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and omelettes. The only thing holding this place back from a full 5 stars was the portion size of the orange juice. Orange juice was $5.50, and while I understand that it is fresh-squeezed, the portion size was only about 5 total gulps (I’ll do the math for ya - more than 1 dollar per gulp…) which was disappointing. Don’t get it twisted - we LOVE this place and will totally be back again as we have many times before. Just leaving some constructive criticism as we truly want this place to flourish! Thanks again Olivia!

Kristy Droll

We had a wonderful meal at Tony’s. My daughter has celiac disease and there were so many gluten free options. The GF mozzarella sticks were AMAZING!! So nice to have gluten free options.

Amanda Duncan

The quality and taste of the Gluten-free options are amazing. The Gluten free buns are soft and not dry and the Gluten Free Mac and cheese had the texture and taste of regular Mac and cheese. I have had Celiacs for 15+years and was overly impressed. Thank you so much.

Christine Engelhardt

Went there for the first time. Had the Gluten Free wrap with the Chicken Salad. Wow! Most amazing wrap I have ever had. I will definitely be back.

Kassie Scheckel

My family and I came to eat here on 6/20 because of the dairy free and gluten free options, necessary accommodations for some of our family members. The vibe was alright; we called ahead and were seated promptly. The outdoor play area was a neat touch. The server was friendly but did forget to place the order for my 2 year old, which was frustrating. It was highly concerning that our food came out so quickly. My husband and I ordered the Fried Bologna Sandwich; it was greasy and gross and I could not eat it. My brother-in-law got The Dunbar, which also had bologna on it. The 3 of us who had some of the bologna ended up with food poisoning. I attempted to notify the restaurant via Facebook messenger and the 3 attempts “couldn’t send”. I sent them a message through their website, and also contacted the health department. Not a good experience and won’t be back. Update: they did reply back to my message through their website and refunded us, so I appreciated the customer service aspect to help remedy the situation.

Great food! Great staff! Most importantly, they have gluten free options for symptomatic celiac customers. They are more than willing and able to review which items are safe which does include the root beer. Love the new location, especially how they kept the homey feeling with the décor. The sense of humor is great if you take the time to read many of the signs.

Daniel Galis

Great gf options and the staff were very knowledgeable. I have celiac disease and felt safe eating here! Will come back again.

traci kimzey

Very accommodating people new to El salvadorian food. I have Celiac and I can eat all but a few things!

Christeen

Nice deli, food was good. We tried it out since it showed they had Gluten-free options. The menu states it's gluten free options are not for Celiac individuals. We had a Celiac person with us. They have baked potatoes, which was a good option for our Celiac individual. I'm just not sure how much cross contamination there is. So overall, it's not the best option if you have Celiacs.

ND Yutzy

The food was great and they have good gluten free options. The waiter was just ok but the hostess (I believe her name was Rachel) was great. The kind of person that keeps you going back. Not a huge fan of the all open floor plan restaurants but the food was good enough it's not a deal breaker. Would definitely go back when we're in the area again.

Trudie Derenne

Sofia was so great and really listened to my concerns of having gluten free food due to having celiac disease. She was very kind and service was great

Brett Giberson

Great food! Excellent gluten free options. Awesome location. We will be back!

Diane Schoneman

Best breakfast we've ever had!!! The Gluten-free pancake was awesome, service awesome!!! Would highly recommend!!!!

Carter Folkers

My girlfriend has celiac and did not get sick from the food. Good service and food, highly recommended!

Melanie Roepke

Looked cute. Drove here based on reviews, arrived at opening on a Saturday and there were ZERO gluten free treats available. Left sad and empty-handed.

Mindy Mathias

Amazing gluten free sandwiches, bread & the gf Turtle cookie with pecans is beyond amazing!!

yoel hooper-antunez

Solid food, cocktail, and beer choices, with some vegan and gluten free options as well. Pricing is in the middle to high end. There are $15-20 dishes, but can easily go into the $25-35 range or even higher. There is a speakeasy downstairs, but it was closed when we visited. Would recommend making a reservation to avoid waiting, as it can get busy.

Sydney Schroeder

awesomeness in a grilled cheese. sweet potato fries are bussin. gluten free bread is delish. blueberry lemonade:FIRE. 10/10. cheap. so fun.

Sabrina

ziggis is hands down the best place for coffee, a snack, meeting with friends, and great customer service. my drink is always delicious and never too bitter or too sweet, this place has never done me wrong. the place is always clean, the staff is always ready to go. i love coming here & even the smoothies are a banger. the gluten free options are so good too. i recommend this place for everyone! i am upset that there has been construction blocking off partial access to ziggis, but its worth the detour every time. go to ZIGGIS!

Some places have good food, some places have good atmosphere, the Morning Story-Marion has both. I have dined here a number of times, quite a number, actually😉 This breakfast & lunch restaurant is bright, bustling, and brand new (in Marion, Iowa since Nov 2021). They have a sophisticated, modern menu with a SW vibe. This is definitely not an old school diner, offering items like a Mimosa Fried Chicken Benedict or the equally scrumptious Green Chili Chicken Hash. I have had perhaps 10 dishes from the breakfast menu and have never been even slightly disappointed. The dishes are generous and will provide yummy leftovers for many patrons. The lunch menu is also full of delectable choices, from sandwiches like burgers, a club, tenderloin, and philly to fresh salads and the always popular half-n-half combo. I had a fantastic breakfast with my partner recently, our choices being the gluten-free Oatmeal Pancakes, with Rolled Oats, Strawberries, Blueberries, Agave Nectar, Blueberry Compote, and Powdered Sugar. Available also as a combo with eggs and a choice of meat. The second dish was the Breakfast Quesadilla with Scrambled Eggs, Diced Bacon, Roasted Onion, Green Peppers, Cheddar Jack Cheese, Jalapeño Cream Cheese, Fresh Herbs, Salsa Roja. Both dishes were incredibly tasty, made fast and fresh with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. Enough about the food, no mention of this place would be complete without mentioning the hustling, professional, and super friendly staff. One can not help but feel as though every visit is a get-together with good friends. Every staff member on every visit has been smiling, chatty, and genuinely welcoming. The manager (who is a star) not only circulates the dining room constantly, assuring everything is going perfectly, but also somehow finds time to speak to all of the customers in this very busy restaurant in an unhurried way that never ceases to amaze me. Visit for breakfast or lunch, and I can promise you will be thrilled with the food and delighted with the staff. Tell 'em Ricki sent you @RickiGoesOut

Ed LeQuire

Amazing atmosphere and even better food. Staff is pretty chill. Great gluten free options. The whole family is happy.

First time to Smash Park & rented one of their party game rooms. Our party enjoyed great gluten free appetizers & had lots of fun with all the games & on pickleball court. The staff was friendly, timely, had great recommendations for planning our catering. I would recommend for your next party!

Ms Alhadi

Hello all my celiac and gluten free friends. Today I tried garbanzo in Ankeney iowa . I called ahead of time and they seem very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free. When I went they gentleman asked if I have celiac disease I said yes and he told me everything is gluten free except some of the items. I wanted to try the gf pita for next time . Super great place definitely going again :)
