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!

Molly Beard

Whoa. Gluten free Italian that tastes incredible? Yep. I'll be back again!

I had a great experience here with celiac disease. The server answered my questions confidently and personally walked me through the menu. They confirmed when bringing out the cauliflower appetizer that it had come from the dedicated fryer. I enjoyed a burger and tater tots. Highly recommend!

I’ve had much better tasting and textured gluten free and vegan selections elsewhere. I would not choose this place as my top option if I needed either of those as a serious accommodation. Pricing for the quality and the service was basically awful. My table got three drinks (two small hot teas and a small latte) and three cake slices and paid $45. The latte was up-charged $2 because I am lactose intolerant and ordered oat milk for it. I understand an up charge because the milk is typically more expensive than regular, but basically every other cafe for miles well out-competes a $2 extra charge. The most expensive I’ve seen locally before this was $1. In a perfect world allergy and intolerance accommodations would cost no extra, as people like me can’t really help wanting to live like others and have a little cafe latte that won’t hurt us. When asked if I wanted a box I said I would, as I still had a half slice of cake left. No box was ever brought to my table and the waiter never mentioned it again even as we said goodbye to him and left. In fact, almost every interaction with the waiter was tinted with what seemed like haughtiness or disdain on his end. Maybe because we only came and sat for desserts and coffee/tea and therefore were not “high value” customers. Overall this place seems full of itself and really not worth the trouble and expense to have sub-par cakes and a cup of tea. Hoping this is a rare experience.

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).

Paula Schroeder

Gluten free fish fry was the bomb,perfect,please consider putting it on the permanent menu,or some version of it. We will eat plenty of it!

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.

Thryn Arnav

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

Laura Zats

Lots of GF options in the pasta and pizza sections (not many in the sandwiches or starters). I was excited to hear that their Alfredo sauce doesn’t use a roux so it was safe to eat! However, it’s frustrating that they make you ask the server what is able to be made GF instead of denoting it on the menu the way they do plant-based options.

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.

Heidi Gordon

“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.

Danielle Kirkpatrick

Loved this place! If you’re gluten free - they will take good care of you! My kid has a gluten allergy and they were so careful to accommodate and she was enamored with the food. Service was fantastic also! Great experience! Will make this a regular stop when in the Twin Cities! ❤️

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.

Crystal Simmons

Great food! Caters to gluten and dairy free. I got carnitas en adobo, and chips and salsa. Patrons order online, either at the restaurant entrance or at a table.

Tammy Nienaber

Had the Alfredo bacon breakfast pizza, with half left for tonight's dinner. Plus my usual order of gluten-free cheesecake to-go. Yum!

Rebecca Stewart

My absolute favorite coffee shop in St. Paul. Staff is always friendly and the drinks are delicious. Love that they carry sift gluten free donuts too.

Marypat Habermas

Gluten free options available. Dinner on the patio was fantastic, very romantic

Karen Folman

Nina's is such a cute neighborhood cafe with a pleasant atmosphere and sweet vibe. Service was friendly and welcoming and they had some gluten free muffins and vegan cookies for those who have these needs.

Bryant Ortega

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!

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.

Matt Brown

Great place to grab some gluten free dairy free food!

Brian Beck

Best airport restaurant I've been to. The beer menu is astounding - great variety of taps and a number of aged, rare, and unique bottles. Our server was fantastic - solid advice on beer, seltzer, food entrees (get the whiskey burger!), and what entrees can be made gluten free (the chicken and rice was very good). The food was delicious, the seats all had power outlets, and we had an amazing time.

Jennifer Borges

Great experience! Plenty of creative choices on the menu, nice vibe, fun drink options! (Only note - would appreciate more gluten free options.)

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.

Rebecca Stewart

Event day menu (Wild game) still had TONS of gluten free options. Meat entrees, pasta, pizza and buns. The spaghetti was the best GF spaghetti I've ever had. I even asked for the brand they used because it held together so well I was almost worried they were real gluten. Anyway, delicious! Loved the chocolate torte too.

Rose Scholefield

This was the first time I had been there. We ordered the veggie /meat sampler with gluten free injera. Everything was delicious. The only part I don't enjoy was one of the meat dishes had a lot of fat/grizzle I had to spit out. I will only order the vegetarian one next time. I also had the avacado smoothie. It was kind of bland, but OK ..tasted like diluted avacado with a little sugar. I mostly ordered it to help coat my throat, since some of the food is spicy.

Chance Wells

Amazing drinks and food at Cafe Astoria. I got a rainbow matcha and my partner got a candy cane latte! They do not disappoint. We also got crepes and they were delicious. They offer gluten free options which is amazing for those who have an intolerance. Much appreciated and we will be back!!

Barbara Cornelius

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.

Sophia Niemeyer

I have been going to the highland grill for over 10 years and it is truly one of the best places in the twin cities. I also recently went gluten free and there menu is well labeled with regards to dietary guidelines 😊

Estelle Wright

Gluten free options...

Stephanie Fox

It was a great experience! Our server was friendly and helpful. The food was great! I tried the Loon omelet with gluten free toast. So yummy!! Love that they support gluten free and still make it taste so good. Thank you!

Jillian Lewandowski

Asked if the smoothies were gluten free one didn’t know (no problem) so he asked someone else that just looked around and said “uh no” I had seen one sign online that said they were but in the restaurant it didn’t say so I wanted to confirm. I asked was it the protein powder and if so could I do without. He just shrugged and said “no, you can get a juice” Just felt like they didn’t want to figure out if they smoothies were really GF and just didn’t want to deal with me.

Hannah Keuler

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.

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.

Lia Mendez

Never thought I'd be raving about a breakfast plate of 2 eggs with toast and hashbrowns, but here we are. The gluten-free bread is 💣. Tastes homemade. Hashbrowns are a work of art - crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. Really enjoyed my cozy little booth on an early rainy morning. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area.

J. L. Mohnkern

Don't eat here if gluten free

Stacey Davis

“This Thai restaurant is an absolute gem in the metro area. It is evident that it is family-owned and their passion for Thai cuisine shines through in every dish. The menu offers a delightful selection of Thai appetizers, entrees, and salads that are bursting with incredible flavors. The use of fresh herbs and abundant vegetables truly enhances the authenticity of the dishes. They offer different spice levels from 1-10. I’m always impressed by the variety of options available, especially when it comes to accommodating different dietary preferences. They have thoughtfully included protein choices to cater to everyone, whether they follow a gluten-free, plant-based, vegetarian, or pescatarian diet. It's fantastic to find a place where large groups of friends can gather and each find something delicious to suit their specific needs. The soups and curries at this restaurant are a true delight. The depth of flavors and the quality of ingredients used are simply outstanding. Additionally, their beverage selection is worth mentioning. They offer a diverse range of beers, wines, and cocktails, making it a great spot for date night or a special occasion. On's Thai restaurant has become my go-to place for satisfying my Thai food cravings. I highly commend them for consistently delivering exceptional dishes and maintaining their high standards. Keep up the fantastic work, On's! You have truly created something remarkable in the realm of Thai cuisine."

Richard Webb

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.

Sara H

Lightning fast appearance (of my precise off-book breakfast order- I was 2 sips into coffee after opening a handful of creams into it when my giant platter appeared. It isn't maybe a low budget option but the food is good, quick, and they both know how to leave off the wheat/ gluten stuff and offer gluten-free substitutions for lil upcharges. Place has a good feel. I will be back a bunch for sure.

Karin Vevang

Chick fil a is one of the few fast food chains to truly accommodate gluten allergies. I wish there were more stores around!

verner689

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

MikeAndHeather Hedges

Please do not offer gluten free buns if you are not going to educate your staff on proper safety for your gluten free / Celiac Disease customers. I couldn’t order from the kiosk because it didn’t have the option for the GF bun so I had to go to the cashier and when I asked about the gf bun she was confused but someone in the back said they had one. Then I asked if the sauce was GF and no one knew so I just said no sauce then but they were very confused because their was 2 different spreads on the burger and I said neither if you cannot confirm if they are GF and then the attitude started. I wanted to cry right there. It’s hard enough traveling but to be given attitude when trying to get food when you’re hungry, not knowing if it will make you sick or not is just so stressful. I have to throw this away because I literally don’t know if they messed with my sandwich just to be nasty or not.

Joseph Sebast

Definitely the best London Fog I've had in the twin cities! They don't have it on the menu, but I just asked and they were happy to oblige. I also got a scone and muffin, both were delicious! I'm not gluten free, but they also have several options for GF with signs posted for additional options on request. Parking is also super easy AND the staff is delightful. 10/10 wonderful experience

Alexandra K

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.

NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY!! The overall experience was nice. Good service. The chorizo breakfast bowl was good, and with a generous amount of guac, too much even. The only gluten free breakfast menu option is a quinoa bowl. Seems like they think gluten free is nothing more than a health fad. The dish was definitely contaminated with gluten and frankly it just it tasted gross

Natasha Curry

Came here specifically for the gluten free options for my coeliac daughter. Disappointed that the nachos are marked GF but actually cooked in the same oil with gluten ingredients. But happy that the waitress was aware and alerted us. There are other GF options - we had a shredded chicken bowl which was GF. Reasonably tasty and a good quick pre-flight meal.

Ray Seville

Had a gluten free donut 🍩 that was really good and a cold coffee

Amy Smith

Great breakfast, local flair, farm to table kind of vibe. Gluten free friendly but not specific gluten free options.
