Top 24 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Iowa City

A friend suggested this place because they have gluten-free crepes. We had to go! The gentleman who greeted us right away made us feel at ease and he directed us to a table while we looked over the menues. I ordered jasmine tea, which came in a beautiful little cup and pitcher. We decided to split two crepes, the Ratatouille and the L'Ocean (smoked salmon). Both looked amazing and tasted even better! Flavor, texture, and presentation were a "10"! Sadly, we didn't save room for a dessert crepe, which we decided we'd have to come back for again. If the GF crepes were that delicious, I'd wager their regular crepes are outstanding. Definitely check this cute place out!

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!

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.

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.

Stopped in while traveling through Iowa City. Very spacious and modern. They have 2 different order points- 1 for coffee and 1 for food. This was nice as the lunch line was long and we just got drinks. The Gluten-free Blueberry Muffin was good, although a little on the dry side.

As a celiac coming into town for a few days, it was a little bit stressful to try to find gluten-free options here. However, the staff quickly oriented me to their options, and most of the menu can be made safe for us. The meals I had there were delicious and filling and healthy. Highly recommend.

Marcie Tobin

Excellent buffet and if you are gluten free there are several things yo choose from.

Bijan Kholghi

Best cold brew in town. Also the matcha is really good. Highly recommend!!! Great gluten free pastries options (lemon cake, banana muffins)

First time at the restaurant. Very nice, easy listening environment on opposite part from bar. They have decent gluten free menu options, but this could be done as a separate menu or better labeled menu. Overall very pleasant place for any occasion.

I am celiac highly symptomatic. I go to eat here frequently. They have a GF menu with many options. The staff and the kitchen are aware of contaminations. Food is amazing: you can have burgers, steak, oysters, breakfast sandwich and a great mimosa!

Jane Morse

Panchero’s is a never fail choice. Had a cousin here from Minnesota who is gluten intolerant….. she ordered the burrito bowl instead of a burrito and was able to forego the bread!

Leah

Delicious breakfast spot with lots of local charm. The Baja special as a skillet was delicious and gluten free. They have GF toast and will even make French toast with it.

Karen Marshall (Kkm)

Had tea with 2 young girls. Some of the food items were not kid friendly. The gluten free foods were very good.

Ronnie Nelson

I'm not a coffee drinker but went to get one for my wife and the staff was very accommodating to my lack of knowledge in coffee linguistics. My wife loves this place and this is a mandatory stop every time she's in the neighborhood. They also have gluten free treats which are also a must have. This last time I got 3 cherry and pecan energy balls. Would recommend this place and will be going back for sure.

Bijan Kholghi

Amazing cafe and book store combined This makes a unique atmosphere. I absolutely love it. Excellent coffe and matcha. Also great gluten free and vegan pastry. Highly recommend!

Hannah Yang

Very tasty food, friendly servers and not super busy which was greatly appreciated. Also had decent gluten free options!

J Kane

My first visit to Harry's. Gluten-free pancakes are on the menu. I asked if they made GF waffles; it seemed like they may not have in the past, but the chef said he could make a gluten-free waffle for me. I am uncertain of the cost as iI did not see or pay the bill (another ember of our party did). I haven't ever been to a restaurant that had GF waffles, so it was a special treat for me! It wasn't crowded at 830 am on Friday. Amanda was an attentive server and was very pleasant. Looking forward to trying the GF pancakes and several unique omelets on future occasions.

Katy Brown

Really delicious food, went for lunch with friends. Gluten free friendly! I had the spring rolls with shrimp and the lemongrass chicken with white rice. Both items were fresh and delicious! The service was good but the food came out quite staggered and we were the only diners of the 1.5 hours we were there. I really want to see this place succeed! The market opened behind it and seems like a great place to pick up the makings for a Vietnamese feast at home.

Stacey McCarthy

Good menu with a few gluten-free options. The fried potatoes with my lunch were very tasty with the baked fish and the creamy coleslaw. Yum!

Gypsy Russ

Good vegetarian options Great salad bar Very happy with gluten free refrigerator options! Most of the staff is very friendly and helpful Made me some fresh pesto on the fly when they were out For $11.50 it's a great deal considering the prices in the surrounding downtown Iowa City...
