Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Saint Paul

Jess Kooiman

J. Selby's is one of my absolute favorite places in the Metro. The food is all delicious. Tons of gluten free options, too!

So here's the thing, it's a great spot, and if you dine in, the food is pretty good. They hand-pour cherry Coke on request and take pride in their beer offerings, too. Twin Cities natives LOVE them their local Pizza Luce. BUT - and it's a BIG but (sans Sir Mix-a-Lot) - I got nasty food poisoning from their chicken wings last year, and haven't been able to look at chicken wings since. They also have a problem remembering to add extra cheese on their pizza when you order online. Has happened several times when I've ordered delivery as well as pick-up. Both of these issues are specific to the Roseville location. On the other hand, Katie at the Selby location in St Paul is wonderful if you're lucky enough to be in her service. I was there last week with a VERY diverse group of people - there were about 10 of us - and she was great. She was even juggling a late Friday night when the carbonation ran out at the bar, so no carbonated drinks. They also ran out of their summer special pizza (Taco Supreme), and the kitchen dropped one of our orders. Katie was pleasant, kind, generous, on top of it. She handled her business, as we say in NYC, amidst the chaos. Kudos to you, Katie. I hope you -and your corporate boss - see this review, because you're the reason I will continue to recommend Pizza Luce despite clear ops issues. The vegan meatballs are pretty good, and even have a fire-seared flavor to them that's unexpected in vegan products. I happen to be an omnivore, and also tried the meat meatballs, which are also quite good - though I don't recommend mixing and matching. Generally, the pizzas are super yum, but have a thin, crispy crust, fyi. Also important: they have a pretty good gluten-free selection, including the pizzas. I recommend asking about spiciness if you have sensitivity to burning foods, though. Not everything with "kick" is labeled on the menu. So, after all of that, I still go. I still recommend them. Just know that there may be a learning curve, so I also recommend you go with locals the first few times if you're a traveler or a transplant. Cheers

The Red Cow has delicious fare and great service. I was part of a group of four. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, so all the fried potato dishes (e.g. french fries, sweet potato fries, etc.) can be made gluten-free (and oat-free).

Their gluten free menu is very well thought out and yummy. Always enjoy our visit. We were able to sit outside

Wendy Maybury

Brasa is always amazing. They have wonderful gluten free options

Patricia Allen

We had a lovely late lunch between flights at the Minneapolis airport. I am Celiac so the menu was so refreshing! Our server, Ken, was very attentive and very efficient. The only downside was the cost! Our lunch was almost $150! (with two drinks each and tip).

Ali Swanson

Great gluten sensitive selection!

Matt Moscho

Great gluten free options! And the espresso martini is lovely

Kelly Reymann

Waited 45 minutes for 2 omelettes with hashbrowns. Omelettes were small, ham was sliced up lunchmeat and the hashbrowns were so salty they were inedible. The female staff person emptying the garbage went straight to touching clean silverware and then to serve our food without washing her hands. The only good part of the visit was the gluten-free chocolate muffin, however, I will find out in a couple hours if it was actually GF. I would not visit this place again.

Literally such a gift! Are you a person with celiacs desperately in search of gochujang and fried Korean food? This is the place you want to be! Seats fill up fast tho so get there early if you can

Marian Farah

We've came here many times today me and my kids had the worst experience the cashier was not nice and unaware of the stores options of gluten free and food options. He was not pleasant and my waffle was very doughy and soggy. I told them the remade it and it was still the same. Whoever the chef back there is doesn't know how to make waffles my 9 year can do better than that. Waste of time and money ruined for us. Never coming back here again.

“Gluten friendly” at your own risk. Fries are marked that they can be gluten free, but the cheese sauce they come with is beer cheese, so the waitress had to clarify that she’d bring that on the side. And they don’t have a GF frier, so she asked if that would be ok. Maybe I ate too many fries, since it wasn’t clear that they came with the burger too (w/ no other option). The gf burger bun was good (covered in poppy seeds) & held up well. Cocktails were also good and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for.

If you're gluten-free or celiac I would avoid this location!!! Horribly dirty ! DO NOT EAT HERE place was disgusting never seen keys so disgusting sadly. Food wasn't keys signature style or taste I eat keys alot at other locations. And the urinal in the men's bathroom was the worst black mold and grime that I've ever seen it was horrible standing piss unbelievable ! Very disappointed. Cook didn't pay attention to my lady's allergies either. Overall just not a clean place either dirt and grime on tables sticky stuff on floors and window sill area . Brown gravy on floor and bench areas everywhere on floor was dirty look like it hadn't been swept in a month. Very poor appearance. 👀🤦‍♂️😔 WASTED TRIP OF TIME N MONEY . Roseville#2 Woodbury#3 or Hudson#1 KEYS are definitely the go-to. (If you're gluten-free or celiac I would avoid this location!!! )

Jarrod Nelson

Nice menu with clearly labeled items for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc. Food was nicely seasoned and drinks were delicious. Only caveat was the papas had an odd flavor to them with the sweet paprika.

Had some amazing gluten free chocolate cake and an okay latte, but this isn’t a place to hang out. I was trying to get some work done and was told there was no wifi.

Great food, awesome staff highly recommend. I am gluten-free and had a fantastic experience!

Bread & Chocolate is one of my favorite spots! The drinks are always solid, and the bakery items are fresh and delicious. As someone who is gluten-free, I really appreciate that they have amazing GF options—the GF scones and the GF chocolate brownie cookie are absolutely incredible! If you're lucky, you can snag some day-old cookies at 50% off, and they’re still super fresh. The only (minor) con is the seating—the tables feel a little too high, or maybe the chairs are too low? Not quite sure, but it’s a bit awkward. That said, I’m being nitpicky because I still love working here or meeting up with people. Definitely worth a visit!

We had a great experience at Shish restaurant. The chicken curry was delicious, and gluten free. I highly recommend it!

J James

We chose this place for a get together with some friends and our kids. It was suggested by other parents as a place for a fun and unique experience for all ages. We went on a Sunday so there wasn't much airplane action. We did get to see 1 plane take off as we were leaving. They offered a kid's menu, gluten-free options and a variety of cocktails. We went for the breakfast options: french toast for the kids, coffee, tea, french toast sandwich, mushroom toast & eggs. Our friend's had the Holman's Breakfast. All was delicious and everyone left with a content and happily filled belly. We look forward to returning in the summer to enjoy their outdoor seating and to check out the dinner menu.

I am always impressed when I go to Hope! I can never choose what to get because there are SO MANY amazing options! Gluten free and vegan options available and they are DELICIOUS! Even most of their specialty coffees can be made vegan!

Melissa Barnard

This place was absolutely phenomenal. The hummus was the best we've ever had. What a pleasant surprise! They were able to accommodate our various allergies/sensitivities (gluten, dairy, onion). We had the salmon and NY strip. Cooked perfectly and so so delicious. Steve, our server made sure to take our allergies down and also made sure to get us our food quickly since we were headed to a concert. He was wonderful!

Layback, self sitting/ordered. Friendly staffs brings your order to your table (loved it). They do offer gluten free options. We enjoyed crème brûlée, latte w/gold, iced chocolate, hot chocolate(offered kids temperature). Generous salad Dressing overpowering the taste of avocado toast. Toasts are very dry to me and roasted potatoes are way too salty with average bacons. Fluffy scrambled eggs were very good. Chocolate with strawberries crepes were on point.

Amy Lauria

Great place to grab a bite to eat with friends. They have a nice drink/beverage menu and offer gluten free and vegan options. The staff was very friendly and helpful at pointing out what could be made gluten free and what wasn't! We will definitely be back.

Over priced, not good food. I ordered a 1/2 grilled cheese sandwich on gluten free bread & tomato basil soup. $12!! It was a very, very small 1/2 sandwich partially grilled then a very small cup (not bowl) that contained about 1/3 cup of 'soup' that was so thick (and partly burnt) it shouldn't have been called soup. We were very disappointed and will not return.

Workhorse is one of my favorite coffee shops in the Twin Cities! I've never been disappointed with anything here. The blueberry cornbread muffin is one of my faves even though I'm not gluten-free. You have to try the miel as well as the pumpkin cream cheese muffin. I also love how there's no upcharge for milk alternatives. The service here is always super friendly and I feel so welcomed.

Creative farm to table options. Thank you for the gluten free offerings!

I have celiac disease and need gluten free and they were very helpful in helping me order. The hash browns are cooked in a dedicated frier. Kind and helpful staff.

Estelle Wright

Gluten free options...

I am gluten free and vegan due to allergies. They went through everything and helped me find something to eat. I greatly appreciated this.

Danielle Masursky

Had a stellar experience at this tiny coffee shop in Saint Paul. I was staying in an airbnb nearby, and it was recommended by the owner. It exceeded my expectations: friendly efficient service, delicious drinks, and lots of light food options, including gluten free donuts from SIFT (I got the blueberry and it was quite good). If I'd had time, I would have returned, and I will certainly go again if I'm in the area.

Perfect weather on one of the nicest patios in the city. The food was excellent as always, especially the halibut cheeks, a rare find in the midwest. The celiac member of our party also really appreciated the very wide range of options available. Our server, Bryan, was outstanding. His pleasantness, knowledge and timing all contributed greatly to an entirely wonderful evening.

I was searching for a catering menu for a corporate event with St. Patty's finger food and couldn't find anything-a co-worker suggested Little Oven. I called Joe and he sent me over an amazing selection with resonable pricing! Our St. Patty's event was a huge hit, we had ruben sliders, stuffed tater tots and artichoke dip. He even accomodated a gluten free pasta dish and chips that were outstanding. They delivered ontime and were so nice. We certainly will be using them again for future events.

I have celiac and didn’t inform the staff but ordered a gluten free bun on my burger. I found out that firecracker onions meant that they were breaded when it came out. I asked the server if they were breaded and she said yes and I asked if I could have a different burger since I have celiac. She proceeded to tell me I should have told her beforehand and got very upset with me that I didn’t tell her. She brought me the same burger without the onions on it but didn’t give me an opportunity to maybe get a different burger. Overall I felt the staff was not sensitive or alert as to the reasons why someone might be ordering with a gluten free bun. I have never had such a terrible experience having celiac at a restaurant before. I hope they get better sensitivity training in regards to allergen info…

Arrived as a girl, left as a woman. A changed woman. Amazing iced latte. I’m always scared of getting vanilla lattes from these “craft coffee shops” because it seems these days they want to be all “cool different full of dirt and grit” about everything (you know what I mean!!) but not here. Just damn good coffee and I appreciate that. It’s cute inside, spacious, comfortable and clean which is a plus. All the employees were super friendly each visit (I’ve only been 3x and each time like the last - a treat!) and seemed like they genuinely were happy. So that’s a plus, or they’re all great actors destined for greatness! Bakery items top tier with gluten free options for the celiac cuties which is always a plus in my book! Parking is kind of scary so plan to bike or walk in if possible, if you’re not local that’s okay, you’ll survive.

Love eating here. This was an old family favorite growing up and even with updates over the years this place always hits the spot. Perfect portions for days you are super hungry, and for the days you need smaller portions (the specials are amazing) As someone who struggles with dietary issues (Celiac, and autoimmune GI issues) I love coming here knowing I won't get sick. -but my husband, who can eat anything, is a fiend for the caramel rolls and cinnamon rolls A favorite place to brunch with my mom ❤️

Service... not very good. Needed all gluten free food and picked items marked as such, or with a GF option. Checked with waitress (who seemed very inexperienced and unknowledgeable). A - Massaman curry (heat level 10) with fresh tofu B - Pad see EW (heat level 5) with fried tofu C- Pad thai with fried tofu The massaman curry and pad see ew were very tasty, BUT they deep fried the tofu, instead of separate pan frying, in the same fry oil as all other fried foods (this will contaminate the oil with tons of gluten). I caught this before my celiac wife ate any, but I had to hunt down a different server to ask because ours never came back after bringing the food. They did remake the pad see ew dish, but it took so long we had to leave before eating it... The heat levels were very.... 'white people hot'. My wife and I eat very spicy food all the time, so we asked if 10 out of 10 was 'thai spicy' and were assured it was. Nope. I'd give the 10/10 a barely 3 out of 10. The 5 out of 10 is a solid 1 out of 10. The pad thai was very, very sweet and tasted like a large amount of sweet and sour sauce was poured on it. Not that tasty and definitely not an authetic pad thai. Maybe Minnesotans like this kind of thing...? I dunno. Very 'Americanized' for a pad thai.

I'm gluten sensitive and they had several GF pizza selections that were good.
