Top 4 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Downtown Boston

Amber Easterling

This is a Top 9 Allergen Free Bakery, which is hard to find. I really enjoyed the cookie dough cupcake and my sister had the strawberry french toast cupcake.

Ask for what’s fresh! I was so Excited for gluten free donuts doughnuts 🍩 I asked for what I wanted - what I should’ve done is ask for what’s fresh! Or freshest? 2 of the 6 I ordered weren’t fresh anymore. They were a little stale. And the coconut oil - which I was really excited about - had gone a little rancid. Who knew? Maybe they should toss things out quicker? Or maybe GF don’t have the shelf stability. I will definitely be back - for the blueberry, the plain cake, and the plain + chocolate, but I may never eat coconut donut again. Also, the jelly stuffed was really brittle, dry and crumbly. I did make it in right at closing ~ 2 pm.

Delicious gluten free French toast! Place was packed with a long line outside, but service was fast for the amount of people there. Food was worth the wait! Seating is tight and probably not a lot of room for strollers or wheelchairs, I’d call ahead to make sure.

My family and I went here the day after Thanksgiving as a special holiday trip since we live over an hour away from Boston and turned out to be the best place we could've chosen! I made a reservation through the OpenTable reservation app and when we arrived at the restaurant they seated us right away. The hostess was amazing as when we first arrived we didn't like where our table was placed, and then when we moved to another it was right next to the kitchen, where the music played very loudly. Not making an enjoyable place to order. Luckily though, the hostess was kind enough to move us a 2nd time to a booth and made sure we were all set and comfortable! I truly have never had that happen in a restaurant before but our hostess was so kind and patient even when it was very busy. She went above and beyond. After getting seated and finding a perfect spot for my family, our server Addison was kind and amazing. She made sure to give us time to decide what to get as it was our first time there and even went out of her way to make my sister and I a drink they did not have on the menu. My sister really wanted a daiquiri but couldn't consume alcohol at the time so Addison let us know she could make something for us based on what they had at the bar and was a lemonade base, which my sister wanted. She came back with a house-made peach lemonade and even added an orange slice garnish to give it the daiquiri feel and was so accommodating and went above and beyond! After some time of ordering our appetizers and entrees, Addison made sure to check in on us and ask if we needed anything even when it was super busy and a full house. Later after finishing our food and all of us requesting a to-go box, Addison made sure to get us the correct size boxes for our leftovers and even gave us a bag and willingly helped us bag up our food in a to-go bag provided by the restaurant. I rarely try new places during the holidays, especially on a Friday night, which is when we went, but this restaurant was an amazing choice and I highly recommend it! The dishes we ordered were super flavorful and probably the best restaurant I've tried in Boston when it comes to a simple American menu. It is such a family-friendly restaurant and very warm and inviting. I would be willing to drive over an hour again just to come back with my family and friends. Another thing I really enjoyed about this restaurant aside from the service and food is their ability to offer both vegetarian AND gluten-free options as one of my sisters is gluten-free while the other is vegetarian. The restaurant has so many options and took my sibling's modifications seriously. My gluten-free sister also reported that her food was very good, which is rare as a lot of restaurants we've tried do not have tasty gluten-free options/dishes. The photos down below show my family's order being; the Korean Sticky Pork Ribs, 2 BPH burgers, 1 Beyond Vegetable Burger, a side of the seasonal sautéed vegetables, and 1 Fish and Chips entree. Overall, if anyone ever wants to try something new with their family, or even go by themselves, I highly recommend this place and their Korean Sticky Pork Ribs and the Fish and Chips!

Boston restaurant with gluten-free options. Variety of burgers and very friendly waiters. Recommended

Everything but their sandwiches are gluten free. They are 100% vegan. Their nut-butter oatmeal is amazing! They even have gluten free waffles. All their juices are made fresh and you can tell.

Really loved it. Had a pastrami sandwich on gluten free bread, which was unexpected and great. Bag of chips and a local side for a reasonable price. In The Boston Public Market, which is pretty good for lunch . Nice atmosphere, better food than the Hall around the corner. And this is one of the better places for lunch inside. Dude making the sandwiches has made a few in his time.. added to the “ambience”.

I came to Mooo Beacon Hill with my mother and father to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Food aside, which was fantastic, this restaurant really went above and beyond to make their night special. The menus we received were printed with a special happy anniversary message at the top, our waiter congratulated my parents when we were sat, and the kitchen even sent out a small dessert on the house (gluten free for my mother I might add which the restaurant was not informed of ahead of time) that that beautiful chocolate calligraphy saying happy 25th anniversary. These small but meaningful actions that Mooo went out of their way to do really made their night special and one we will never forget. So thank you Mooo! And for anyone else considering eating here, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better restaurant in my opinion.

I could talk about the beautiful floor to ceiling tile or the amazing array of baked goods but let's be real, all that matters is the gluten free pavlova 😍😍😍 it was decadent and scrumptious. Their gluten free selection was moderate, with things labeled "gluten friendly" (which I took to mean gluten free friendly, because all baked goods are gluten friendly lol). There were about 5 or 6 gluten free things on the day I went, it's nice to have something to choose from. But really, the decor was beautiful, I just wanted to sit there longer in the beautiful cafe. The coffee was Ethiopian, so fairly different from most American espresso, but after a brief adjustment period, it was delicious.

Super good Gluten Free crepes!! I accidentally ordered the Nana’s Pie one, but it was worth the mistake. It can get busy and somewhat slow so get there right when they open or after a break.

Several very good gluten-free options in the bakery case, including a fudge brownie with walnuts, raspberry tea cake, coffee caramel mousse, and vanilla lime krembo. Prices are reasonable and staff helpful and friendly.

The place was nice however the options for gluten free with the bread choose was terrible. It was hard and the avocado toast with the GF bread was flavorless. So disappointed :(

Ritesh Poddar

Love Clover Labs. Everything is fresh and healthy. There are a lot of veggie options as well as gluten free and vegan options.

Excellent food, great waitress, and huge portions for the price. We got the fried pickles (huge plate for $5), fish and chips and the Reuben. Ordered the Reuben as gluten free and they made it on a gluten free bun with no up charge. We had a bunch of leftovers!

Edit: Food is good but I've had multiple issues with the service lately, mainly surrounding the B.good app. Reward points disappearing, food never being delivered, instructions not being followed... It's enough for me to start looking for alternative burger joints - Smash Burger, ShakeShack, Five Guys, Mooyah, even McDonalds... Old review: Whoever cooked my burger (2pm August 11) please give them a raise! I've been a long time loyal customer, have ordered from multiple b good locations in the past, have probably consumed ~25 b good burgers over the last 2 years, and the food is always good, but today it was PERFECT! The meat was just a touch of pink and still juicy, the bacon was crispy, the egg was perfectly cooked with a still-creamy yolk but without dripping or being overdone... the guac was generous and they ACTUALLY LISTENED to my request for mayo to be added. Absolutely divine, 10/10, please keep the staff happy and on board because this will be my new go-to takeout spot if you continue to deliver this quality. Gluten free bun available on request ($1).

I really like the muffins and the coffee. And Maria’s service was great. They just need to add some Gluten Free options.

*Edited! I was searching for Villa Mexico last night to show a friend the website on my phone and I showed him the reviews. It is honestly SO annoying that there are vegetarians whining about the food. Hey dude complaining about there not being veggie tacos, did you buy food? GOOD! Then you ate something vegetarian! Read menus and don't expect every restaurant to cater to YOU brats. Plus, If you are like some people I've encountered at lunch time asking 1000 questions and not caring that there's a line of 20 behind you also waiting to buy lunch- then you deserve being told off man. Get over yourself. The rest of us have to eat as well. I swear that's why people get so annoyed with vegans and vegetarians and gluten-free and allergic to water people. Eat at home and spare us your whining. Ok, now my review of this AWESOME place I will continue eating at, almost every day to be honest, is here: This is the most authentic, and perhaps even healthiest, Mexican food option in downtown Boston if not the whole city. The burritos are amazing, everything tastes fresh and homemade, and the place has a great atmosphere. I've seen the crew and owners laughing, arguing, talking about news, overall enjoying their "100th customer" with cheers, you can tell these people love to make and sell delicious food.

Terrible gluten free options, only thing I could eat the trashcan nachos and they weren't good. Also $13 for a glass of wine, for a quality of wine where the bottle was probably $13 at the local liquor store. Only redeeming quality of this place was the amazing staff.

Though they didn't have gluten free bread for their breakfast sandwiches, their Elotes sandwich is great with just the insides. The sauces were so flavorful and delicious with the fried eggs. Would definitely eat there again!

Delicious and gluten free options
