Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Minneapolis

Delicious latte and double chocolate donut for under $10. You don't miss the dairy or gluten in any of their products. The donut was soft and moist with decadent chocolate frosting. Haven't tried the breads yet, I'll try to update later, but they definitely pass the squish test, springing right back just like a glutenful item. I also got myself a birthday cupcake :) vegan cream cheese frosting was amazing! You've got a try the savory monkey bread. Highly recommend

We've been here quite a few times and we're bringing the whole family for this trip. There was concern about gluten as another person posted that they changed their menu. I called and talked to the restaurant, and they stated they have 4 new sandwiches on the menu that contain gluten, but they are prepared away from the other items in their kitchen, and they are very diligent about cross contamination. This is important as we have celiac folks in our party. Everyone loved it, everyone ate every bit of it, and everyone is happy. And the horchatta rice crispy bar is insane.

TL;DR - Substantial drop in food quality and service. I can't imagine myself visiting this location again, and you shouldn't imagine yourself going here either. Pizza Luce has always been a place I could rely on for great food and service, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing. During my visit I got a Breggfast pizza to eat there, and Gluten Free Bruscetta to go; both were entirely disappointing. Pizza - I got the Breggfast pizza with their Buffa-Luce sauce... well, at least that's what I ordered. What I got was a pizza crust with some ingredients on it, but no sauce. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me it was there. I restated that in fact, no, it was not, and showed him the pizza, and he informed me that I was incorrect and it was there, and then just walked away without another word. So apparently as far as this waiter was concerned, I'm blind and have no taste buds. Gluten Free Bruscetta - Oh, I'm sorry, did I say Bruscetta, I meant the cheapest, most terrible gluten free hamburger buns you can find. Pizza Luce's GF Bruscetta used to be, hands down, the best around. I believe they got the bread from a local bakery and perhaps they aren't around any longer, but if you can't find a good alternative, then just don't have any. If I had to guess, they just use Schar hamburger buns, though that feels like an insult to Shar. These were terrible; they tasted like cardboard and were soggy. Pizza Luce was always a safe bet when I was in the area, for both Pizza and gluten free items, but this visit was a joke, and an expensive one at that.

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

Like several other recent reviewers, I saw mice running through the restaurant/under booths in the middle of the afternoon while I was there. I told the server about the mice and they said they'd tell the manager. Although I had already lost my appetite by then, the entire back of the restaurant was suddenly filled with the smell of an extremely pungent peppermint-scented disinfectant (or at least that's what I guessed?). I was with two other people and all of us felt like it was irritating our noses and throats. It was so strong that it overwhelmed any other scent/taste. I asked the server if what we were smelling was disinfectant (they said yes) and if we could move to the front of the restaurant to get away from the strong smell. Later I emailed the manager about the incident and he claimed he didn't have any idea what I could be referring to. There's clearly an ongoing mouse problem (just look at other reviews from the past few months) and I learned that strong peppermint oil is used as mice deterrent/repellent. This used to be a go-to place for me, since they have a menu that offers a lot of options for someone with celiac disease, but I don't think I can stomach going back now.

This hole in the wall is an amazing find. The entire menu is gluten-free. They offer several DF dishes as well. You order as the counter, and then they bring it to your table. The service is really good and they provide carafe of water for the table. They are spot on with refills. The only down side is the parking. It's all on street. There is patio and indoor seating. It's rare to find a restaurant that has more than one dish my wife can have with her dietary restrictions. Brim has several. It was great seeing her gitty looking at a menu.

Get here early as it fills up FAST! Great food and service. Highly recommend Hashbrown rancheros. Gluten free bread is house made and tasty!

Pamela McCurdy

Always the best food. Very large place with a beautiful patio. It is one of my favorite places to go. Everything is always good. Only took a photo of my item last night which was the shroom burger. Beautiful baguette and tasty cheeses to make it the perfect burger. Friends had a poke bowl, Salad and another burger. My friend needed Gluten Free and they were helpful. At the bar they also have THC drinks 🍹 One of my favorite places to get wings. Also one of my favorite appetizers is the Ahi Tuna Crisp. Servers will help you makes choices if you have not been here. Friendly staff! This is a great option in the North Loop.

Kathy Madzelan

Gluten free pasta was excellent. Server Ryan was excellent. Sticky Toffee Cake dessert is to die for Cocktails were terrific. What else can I say?

Paul Lombardi

Hen House Eatery has the feel of an old-time diner, but it is so much more. It has many food choices, and the gluten-free accommodation worked for me. I would definitely eat there again the next time I'm in Minneapolis.

Rebecca Martz

We came on a weekday for lunch and it wasn't crowded at all. The outdoor semi-covered patio in the back was super nice and the food was wonderful. Gluten friendly items are clearly marked on the menu, and there is cross contamination. Buffalo cauliflower and vegan ranch was to die for! I also had the curry with cauliflower rice and chicken and it was super tasty.

Michelle Nasvik

Chimborazo continues to be one of my favorite go to restaurants in the cities! Their food is delicious, with unique flavors and just phenomenal Ecuadorian cuisine. I dream about the mahi mahi encocado and ceviche 🤤 I especially appreciate that they have so many options for someone who is gluten free and lots of good pescatarian options too! Their service is always fast and they’re always incredibly kind! Highly recommend.

Food is fantastic. Gluten Free options available (French Fries for the WIN). Wait staff is wonderful.

Melissa Grant

Love love love this place! Amazingly good! The garlic cheese bread is the best ever! The pizza’s are soooo good! They did a wonderful job on the gluten free crust! The atmosphere is adorable and we had the best server ever!

Shylo Benz

Best breakfast I’ve EVER had. I got the Scromble of The Day. Tomatoes and Chimichurri *chefs kiss* I’m gluten free and the GF English muffins were great.. I got TWO with my breakfast. My dad got the breakfast burrito and he loved it! Super cool spot to check out in downtown Minneapolis.

Jennifer Horning

Man, SO good! I'm dairy and gluten free. Haven't had a burger and fries this good in... .dunno, a loooong time. Highly recommend!

DM B

I’m celiac and finding safe places to eat when I travel is hard. This place was amazing. At first I was skeptical but the young man that was my waiter was knowledgeable and the items are marked on the menu. Food was outstanding! His service was great. He was very kind and attentive.

First Name Last Name (REvans)

Very good place if you have allergies or dietary restrictions, they are a very clean and careful kitchen, and the one place that never makes me sick! Wish I could get larger gluten free pizzas for both cost reasons and so i could share or have left overs, especially since I like eating out with friends who also have celiacs!

Kerrissa Keymer

Yummy, unusual pizzas, all available gluten-free. 😋 Great mocktails and real cocktails. Secret door is in the alley to get into the speakeasy. Super hip. Super cool. Fab vibes. 👌

Ella B.

Lovely little shop. They had a lot more unique teas than what I’ve seen at other places along with interesting coffee specials such as a squash latte for fall. They serve all sorts of gluten free items such as pastries and ice cream.

Cora Brown

We love Red Cow! Excellent food and atmosphere. Tons of gluten free options.

Andie C

So so good! I celebrated my birthday here and had such a great experience. I’m gluten & dairy free and they were SO accommodating to my allergens and I felt super safe eating here - not to mention I could eat quite a few things off the menu which isn’t always the case. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly and the restaurant itself is stunning. Highly recommend!

Abby Collins

Breakfast sandwich is amazing..oh my god!!! I love the gluten free options! I would love the option to select no cheese when ordering online ;)

Margaret Dick

First time visiting today. This is such a great spot—very lively and full of people chatting and working and playing. It feels like visiting a coffee shop in the pre-smart phone era. Haven’t felt this good about a coffee shop since I left NYC a few years ago. They also have gluten free pasties which is awesome :) And delicious coffee!! Will certainly return.

Scott Miller

Good food & lots of GF options available. My wife is celiac. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy at all. Short wait on a Saturday night.

claire

server was knowledgeable about gluten free options, shared most can be modified to be gluten free and they will cook it in a separate skillet instead of on the griddle :) great patio experience!

Amanda J.

Our entire dinner experience was excellent, but our favorite part of the meal was the potato cherros. They had a gluten-free menu as well, which was extremely helpful for me. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Breya Hoeppner

The gluten free options for this restaurant was the best part of the experience my boyfriend and I had. Although the food was decent, the staff were extremely loud, at some points rude to my boyfriend and I when ordering and asking questions, and also just not being respectful of guests in the restaurant.

Beverley Vinson

Neil Toering

Great place to grab food. They have a gluten free menu as well as a dedicated fryer.

Megan Relson

Great breakfast (and lunch) sandwhiches and pastries including gluten free and vegan options. High quality crafted espresso and coffee drinks. Highly recommend for both food and drink options.

Krystil Rose

Partygoers were floored that these cupcakes were egg and dairy free, and some gluten free on top of that! Everyone had wonderful things to say. I had the cookie dough, and it did indeed taste just like a whipped scoop of cookie dough on top! Thanks Vegan East 💚

Alex Van

My wife can’t eat gluten and loves the crust they got for her! I just do takeout and can whole heartedly say as much as I love Little Caesar’s Detroit Style, this one is a little better.

Reggie Lamptey

So 49ER Day party at Crave Rooftop was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. I was pretty surprised at how extensive their menu was. Oftentimes, when restaurants have a lot of items and different types and styles, it isn't always good. But when I tell you my bison burger and wings were very tasty. There was lots of flavor and made just the way I wanted. I don't like my wings swimming in sauce, so I asked for light sauce on my wings, and they listened, and it was just how I like. Their menu even has a gluten sensitive menu as well as a plant based menu. I was impressed with their options. If you find yourself in downtown Minneapolis, you should definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!

Awesome vibe- shoutout to server Jamie! Was able to have gluten free waffles here and also make accommodations/substitutions for my lactose intolerant friend :) no wait on a Sunday

Jack Jack

I got sick after eating the gf muffins, but it may have been from the GF pizza at Pizza Luce the same day. Zucchini muffin was delicious. Ginger muffin was good. Cold press coffee was ok. Employees were a bit rude. FYI the pumpkin donut is baked, not fried, and they will put cream cheese icing on it if you want. I didn’t get it because to me a baked donut is not worth it. If I lived nearby I would give them a second chance, but since I’m rarely in the area I will try a different place next time.

veda

Such a cute place! Went to have breakfast with a friend and we both loved our food, Great place if you’re gluten intolerant. Very friendly service as well!

I very rarely write a review regarding a place I frequent as often as I do, May Day, but I felt like it was important to voice my thoughts. To offer gluten free (GF) items is a wonderful thing and something I have appreciated every time I've visited. Today, they had nothing in their inventory of baked goods to offer their celiac customers. Mind you it’s 8 AM on a Saturday. If you are going to offer GF, be consistent.

The absolute kindest staff I've met on my trip and were super helpful when I asked about gluten free options.

Sarah Clark

This place is great. Love all the dog art. Food is great with unique options. Menu also is super veg friendly and gluten free bread is available! They don't even mind fake-etarians like me who don't eat beef but want real bacon with their Beyond burger 😆 Jen and Lisa were awesome!! We'll be back!!

Chili with gluten free cornbread is heavenly. Being from the south, it’s hard to find good cornbread. Reminded me of my granny’s. Also, best gluten free brownie I have had in my life. I was full ages ago, but scarfed everything down. I will be back!

Menu is marked with gluten free or gluten free modification. Dedicated fryer. Knowledgeable staff

Stanley’s has a pretty consistent menu, and while they offer some good vegetarian options, they have been careless with the gluten-friendly side of it. Was poisoned twice, first time they gave me a non-GF bun instead of a GF one like I specified, second time the bartender gave me a random beer instead of cider. Had to forcibly make myself puke in the bathroom from said beer, and the bartender still made me pay for his mistake. A friend of mine who is also celiac was poisoned with a GF bun on a separate occasion. I understand there are risks to eating out with allergies, etc., but this place is way too risky and has made too many mistakes to go back. Last time I went in for a salad they changed the menu and I noticed there are things listed on their menu as “GF” which are in fact not gluten-friendly at all, even with bun/bread substitutes. If you have allergies or are celiac, be very mindful of what you are getting and double check everything if you’re willing to take the risk.
