Top 5 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Crossroads, Kansas City

Cassidy Drury

Messenger Coffee is such a great spot! Before I found out about my gluten allergy, I absolutely loved their grilled cheese and would crave it all the time—it’s that good! While parking can be a bit tricky, which is understandable for any business in downtown KC, it’s definitely worth it. The atmosphere inside is perfect for working or just relaxing, with plenty of seating options to choose from. It’s a great place to get out of the house, enjoy some delicious coffee, and get things done. If you’re in downtown KC, I highly recommend checking it out!

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.

We used Mildred's catering for a work breakfast and it was incredible! Not only was everything delicious and ready on-time, but it was also affordable. Mildred's even took the extra step to make sure everything was labeled so our vegan, vegetarian and gluten free colleagues were able to eat with confidence. Thank you Mildred's team!

100% of this 5 star rating is for the Tonawanda wings. These are some of the best wings I've had in a long time. It was explained to me that Tonawanda is the name of the city that buffalo wings were created and they follow the original recipe. We also tried the loaded potato boats (better known as potato skins) without the beer cheese to make them gluten free. They were tasty, but not as spectacular as the wings. My wife also had a burger on a gluten free bun. The manager did a good job of finding out answers about making sure items were safe for my wife to eat and what the gluten free buns were made of. The beer set up was fun to try. You get a card that you put on the display for the beer you want to pour. You are charged by the ounce and simply pour as much of the beer you want to try. This is great if you want to try a bunch of beers without drinking a ton, and some of the beers you may only want a sip of as well. As someone that enjoys trying different beers, this was quite fun, but felt a little like cheating if you were not suffering through an entire glass. You can tap the screen for more info about the beer. My suggestion would be to add the brewer's location to the info. Since my initial visit, I've been preaching about their wings. So much so that my friend wanted to give them a try and I was all to happy to go back. Unfortunately on my second visit, the wings were overcooked and very dry. Thankfully they had a number of new beers for me to try and help me get through my disappoint, but I did take a star off my rating. To spare my reputation, I since warned some of my fellow wing fanatics of my follow up experience. My friend that also got the wings wasn't impressed, so that reduced our chances of repeating this experience.

Eclectic, comfortable, and accepting atmosphere. I have loved this spot for many years because of the live music and the people it attracts. The food menu is full of bar staples (sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, fish and chips) that are damn good, but also has a few vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options.
