Top 15 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Ellicott City

Lydia Alcock

So friendly, cozy, and gluten-free accommodating! I got delicious sweet potato fries, a yummy grilled sandwich, and gf chocolate chip cookies. Not to mention a tasty latte. Often gluten free sandwiches come ridiculously small because the bread is tiny. Here, they give you two sandwiches to make it a normal sized meal, and the bread was delish.

This was a fantastic surprise. So many Gluten free options, everything is baked on premises, service was truly above expectations. Looking forward to going back for another breakfast!

We always like the food, but I want to note that Edwin is such a great waiter! Kind, thoughtful, efficient, and friendly. Thanks for a great breakfast! One thing - I wish there were gluten-free bread options.

What a cozy, cool cafe. My girlfriends and I grab breakfast and lunch here often. Fabulous food! Flaky crusted daily quiche packed with flavor at a very good price of $10 fans it is enough fir 2 people). freshly made avocado toast. Best ever chicken salad ( pecans,!). Delectable crepes ( savory and sweet), muffins, sugar cookies. You name it. Lots of table seating. Bar stools. Outdoor seating in ice weather. Large selection of teas and coffees. May vegetarian and gluten free options. Cool gifts and mugs.

Phenomenal in every single way. I love the consistent high quality of the food. The buckwheat crepes are my favorite as I have a gluten sensitivity and dairy allergy. I love that the manager/owner is so “hands on” with his cafe. It’s very close to the Patapsco park so it’s great to go here before hiking. Really great dining experience in an age where great quality restaurant food is hard to find, everything is homemade and delicious.

I found Sweet Benefits online and ordered mini cupcakes for a combo 60th and 30th birthday celebration. We have gluten free and vegan guests. I ordered confetti, chocolate mint, and lemon poppy and they were all beyond delicious! A huge hit with our guests and us, will definitely order again. Katrina was so easy to work with - ordered online, confirmed by email, picked up right in town. Highly recommend!!

Loved the atmosphere of this place & the food & coffees were amazing! The multiple vegan and gluten free options made me very happy. Will definitely be going back.

Went here to get some work done and was pleasantly surprised! Their waffles are gluten free but more of a banana bread than a typical Belgian. They also had a gluten-free red velvet cake in the case that I look forward to trying one day. Plus they have açaí bowls! I will definitely be coming back as gluten free cafes are so hard to come by.

Our go-to pizza place - they’re super fast and the pizza is delicious! They also have good gluten free options.

Gorgeous and tasty Korean, French and fusion pastries. While the hot dog in squid ink bread may not be to everyone's taste, I defy you to not like their pain au chocolat. I'm particularly fond of the chocolate bread (with and without chocolate ganache), the rice flour donuts (especially sesame) and the berry and cream tarts. The coffee is good and there are comfortable seats for hanging out and chatting. Long open hours, too. There are two small meeting rooms, I think you need to ask to use them, but posted policies have changed frequently. There are also interesting teas, vinegar drinks, bing soo and some other treats. The staff is friendly and used to dealing with Anglos, although the clientele is mostly Korean. The service is always impeccable. When you go in, get a tray covered with paper and a set of tongs. Pick it what you want and use the tongs to put the items on your tray. There are often bowls of bite sized samples, get those with your tongs, too. This is a great way to try items you haven't seen before. Take the tray to the counter order your drinks and tell them if it is to go or to eat there. If the latter, you'll keep the tray to eat off and turn it in at the counter later. Pay and enjoy your bounty. It is a bit difficult to spot the first time, as it is at the end of a strip mall. Use the Boston Market as your turn marker. This is a great place to hang out. I'm grateful I don't live closer, as I'd gain too much weight. The prices are very reasonable, too. All the pastries have their ingredients listed and there are pastries made with rice flour and no gluten.

Yummy new food spot with lots of healthy choices and accommodating items for dietary restrictions (vegetarian/gluten-free options/etc). I tried a little bit of nearly everything on the menu and these were my favorites: paneer, wings, corn, the mixed light and dark half chicken, rice bowl, and the seasoning on the fries is amazing! Aside from the amazing food the place is very clean and open. The tables are spread out and not shoe-horned in to capacity, the bathrooms are really clean, and the staff is very friendly. Great overall new spot!

Gluten free options for bagels.

AWESOME!!! ! Very well illuminated. Bright, lively and chirpy atmosphere. Family and friends, formal, informal or even just to have a casual meal Highly recommended👍👍👍 Food is Yummy!!!😋😋😋! The portions are huge and more than sufficient per person. In fact, we had to carry back 2 boxes home😃Great options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. They do have vegan as well as gluten free options which is great. Very helpful staff to help navigate first time diners. Just a request, Please🙏 offer vegan or atleast vegetarian dessert options. Food is incomplete without dessert for foodies like me and I'm certain most of us love to end it with a sweet dish.🍧 And Finally, the most important factor of all for me personally, and no offense to anyone, the Service. Absolutely Amazing!!! 'Service with a Smile 😊' should be their Tag Line! It is truly befitting them. Thank you for an Awesome Evening!!!🥰 Keep up the good work⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sneha.

Amazing homemade gourmet food in a family-owned bistro. I met the chef at an event he catered, and was impressed by his food and his friendly attitude. I came and had a quiet, delicious lunch on a quiet day and really enjoyed it. My next visit was during the Wizarding Weekend, which found Old Town Ellicott City overrun with Harry Potter®️ fans. Cozy’s was jammed, with a line out the door, but they gamely soldiered on and got food out as quickly as they could. Everything I’ve had there has been excellent from omelettes, to hamburgers, to salads, to their homemade macaroons. I also have a gluten allergy, and have had no trouble eating at Cozy’s. They seem located a little out of the way, right at the bottom of Old Town, just before the bridge, but they are next to the best parking area. I plan to return often. Highly recommended!
