Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Kansas City

I used to love Billie’s back when I was only trying to avoid gluten, their desserts and baked goods are pretty good for being gluten free (even tho a bit spendy) but since being dairy free (due to allergies) Woah #GROSS!! If you are only trying to avoid gluten then the sweets aren’t too bad (but use caution as they still use powdered sugar, cream cheese, and a lot of fatty high calorie ingredients so not good if you’re trying to be health conscious) but if you have to be plant based their options are limited and seriously so disgusting I still can’t get the taste out of my mouth. Just because it is dairy free doesn’t mean it can’t be sweet and taste good, trust me, I’ve had many dairy free/vegan desserts that are SO good I had to call the place and double check because I couldn’t believe it. I ordered the plant based cookie dough bar, snickers bar and chocolate chip cookie. Both bars were dull In flavor, not sweet at all, and TOO many nuts like wow take it easy on the nuts and dates. The cookie was dry and chalky almost choked on it. I’m disappointed because options for dairy free are always limited and Billie’s has so much potential, your entire target market/demographic is very fond of eating with food allergies obviously or we’d be going to a million different places #crumbl!! But save your money and your appetite and DO NOT buy their plant based items!!!! Just make your own at home and they’ll be a million times better I guarantee it.

My friend and I loved this place. I got a cookie and she got the cinnamon roll! You would never know it is gluten free strictly with a taste test. Staff are so nice and accommodating as well! I am recently gluten free and it is so nice to be able to be able to go somewhere where I could eat everything! I was feeling so discouraged being gluten free.

Great menu, great atmosphere. Was fast and delicious. Vegan and Gluten Free options available.

Clark Hugo

Great gluten free option

Partner and I have been coming here for ages, and we don’t even live in KC. It is always a must for us. Great service, great atmosphere, great gluten free options, and excellent food. Often a bit of a wait, but never long. I do miss the calmer vibe of the older days before counter ordering, but I can’t argue with the speed. These folks have it figured out.

We decided to try Blue Bird Bistro on my birthday. We went on a Monday evening and made reservations, however, this particular night no reservations were needed and we were seated right away. We got there at 7:30 and stayed until close, it was so relaxing and we didn't feel rushed. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect. The food was a little more bland than I expected but it was still good and hot and fresh. There were plenty of gluten free and dairy free options for me. The cocktails were great! Recommend the catfish bites appetizer. All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely visit again.

The BEST gluten free bun and burger I have ever had. Sweet potato fries and tater tots are amazing too.

Ruby Von Blush

Always the best crepes in the state. Sooooo good and gluten free is available for all crepes. I love the French infused atmosphere and the staff. A must visit breakfast brunch spot in the city

Waiter was extremely friendly and helpful when we had questions. I was so excited to order gluten free pancakes (gluten sensitive)- I’ve never seen them anywhere! They were SO good and I was amazed they didn’t have gluten. It’s not often you find gluten-free food that is fluffy and not dry! If we are ever in the area again we will be stopping by.

Mary Schramm

Delish and many gluten free options!

Thomas D

Good amount of gluten-free options, including actually-good GF toast (still rare!), and a selection of desserts. The service and atmosphere were lovely. The prices were a bit steep for the type of food and drink offered, but ultimately, it was understandable given the location and likely overhead costs. My favorite food item was the mushroom-beet toast. Haven't had anything like it before, and I was pleasantly surprised!

We were able to sit outside and if you are worrying about gluten allergy, this restaurant takes great care to keep the prep stations separate to keep from cross contamination.

Nina Jaramillo

The food here is absolutely amazing, and the service is wonderful as well! Everything is vegan, and there are a couple of menu items that can be made gluten free, or are already gluten free! It's a great place to go if you want comfort food like burgers or chicken fingers!

Loved it. People aren’t joking - the scones are really good and moist, not dry like most. Had a gluten free one, too, and it was also great.

Michael Portman

Got two cakes for my birthday, one regular and one gluten free cake for a party I hosted. Delicious cake and one of the staff members helped me carry my cake to my car. Excellent service, taste, and got it right! Everything else at McClain's is also amazing.

Shar Terry

Excellent food. Wait staff was excellent. Impressive Spanish coffee. Lots of gluten free options.

E Parks

This is the best place for poke in Kansas City. Gluten free options are great.

Young King

I could not say enough good stuff about this place! The vibe is great, the service is amazing, BUT THE FOOD!!!!! It is amazing, and something fun and a little different. Everything I have had is amazing. They make their own variety of niche flavors of cream cheese that are delicious!!!! They also have great gluten free options!

Love that it has gluten free buns for the sandwiches, there are some soup options that are gluten free and the salad bar has a decent selection, and you can't forget the ice cream. It's clean, the service is nice and the pricing is decent.

I was told the gluten free things were marked on the menu.. they were not, the only thing they have gluten free is bread, no pancakes. You would think you could get French toast since they have gluten free bread available, can’t get French toast with the gluten free bread because it is dipped in the same batter as regular bread. Altogether definitely a 1 in my book because when I want breakfast as a gluten free person on vacation, I want gluten free pancakes, French toast etc. not simply just toast. I couldn’t be more disappointed.

I ordered a half MIXED GREENS salad with steak & no cheese. It came out with cheese so I sent it back because I’m literally allergic to gluten & dairy. I came to this restaurant thinking they were mindful. It came back out after my fiancé finished his meal. I was so upset I didn’t eat it. (Not their fault) however I am eating it today & there is no mixed greens just huge pieces of romaine lettuce & there is no grilled asparagus. Pretty disappointing since it was an $18 salad. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just go ahead & comp it or give a discount if they didn’t have the ingredients to make the salad & messed up my order. I am a people pleaser, hate confrontation, & choke up when I’m upse but They could clearly see I didn’t even touch the salad.

Stopped here for my lunch break. Not only is this location super cute but also has fast and friendly service. Drive thru was busy but the inside was cozy, bright and pretty quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Perfect spot to read and enjoy some lunch! Plenty of healthy options to choose from including gluten free. The Mint Chip Energizer tastes EXACTLY like mint chip ice cream, but without the guilt!!! Delicious!! Sesame chicken salad was very fresh and tasty. H2O #5 was wonderfully refreshing during a long work day. This location will definitely be my go to place.

Phenomenal vibes with breakfast options aside from pastries even though their croissants are fire. They even have a few gluten free options. Great coffee drinks and upstairs area to enjoy and sit.

Mildred’s is one of my favorite places in the Crossroads for several reasons. 1. It’s a family owned business. That continues to be passed down to future generations. 2. The current owners are young, successful entrepreneurs who pride themselves on taking care of their employees and it is paying off BIG time!. Mildred's take-home pay has always been a living wage, and since 2022 they've been able to provide health insurance and 401k retirement benefits to their full-time employees. From kcmo.gov/livingwage: "A living wage is the minimum income necessary for workers to meet their basic needs, which include food, housing and other essential needs such as clothing... "The living wage differs from the minimum wage in that the latter is set by national law and can fail to meet the requirements to have a basic quality of life, leaving the family to rely on government assistance." 3. I am always so impressed with how professional and happy the staff are. They always go out of their way to provide excellent customer service! That is extremely rare these days! I genuinely LOVE going to any Mildred's location because it is so obvious that the employees truly enjoy their jobs! And that, my friends, speaks volumes about who is running the place! 🏆 4.The fact that their food is mouthwatering delicious is just an added bonus! I highly recommend the standard breakfast sandwich on the jalapeño cornbread. The breakfast potatoes are amazing! The biscuits and gravy are the best thing ever! And if you are gluten free, get the breakfast hash because it’s the next best thing to eating the actual breakfast sandwich!

This place is so cute and has a really calm vibe! The food and pastries (gluten free options are available) are delicious, the service prompt and friendly. This is true hidden gem of south KC, check it out, you will be so glad you did!

I had the Dulce de Leche and Vegan blueberry bar. Very good, I'm glad they offered different milk alternatives and vegan and gluten free food. Definitely coming back.
