Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Jersey City

Cary DeLuca

Michelle and her team did a phenomenal job catering my Baby Shower this weekend! She worked with me to develop a menu in advance, and prepared light, delicious offerings for my guests. She easily accommodated various dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegetarian options, peanut free, etc.). The real show stopper was the cake. WOW! Not only was it flavorful, but the decorations fit perfectly with the theme of the shower (woodland). I would absolutely recommend Michelle for any catering gig, especially those that need to be gluten free. Thank you Busy Bee!

The entrees are very gluten-free friendly. All sandwiches and wraps can be made with gluten-free breads. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable - he told me their fryers aren’t dedicated to just French fries and gave me a salad on the side instead.

I only tried Alfalfa for the first time 2 weeks ago and today is my 3rd time getting it. Growing up in Jersey City, I love that the founders grew up in the area and they went to St. Peter's Prep. I love that they offer gluten free wraps which are so good. The food is always fresh and exactly as it is described on the website. I will definitely be a loyal customer going forward.

The server was very nice, was seated right away, but took a long time to receive our food. I ordered gluten free pancakes and they were disappointing. They were dry, rough, no flavor, and flat. Did not look good at all. Worse tasting gf pancakes I've ever had.

Kerry Leccese

GF crepes are amazing!

Susan Wallen

Their gluten-free chocolate cake and cup cakes with butter cream icing are truly the desserts of the gods! I keep looking for the opportunity to head to the Heights to buy those treats. Hmmm. Another family birthday is coming up. Think I’ll give Cocoa a call and place an order!

Mickey Crump

They can make you any gf breakfast sandwich on their menu. Delicious coffee options as well! I didn’t see any other gf specific options or baked goods other than their sandwich bread. But the bread was a nice big portion! No small pieces of bread like what you get in store.

Catherine Cummings

Nice spacious location with plenty of indoor seating. Very clean, both tables and bathrooms. Staff was very helpful! Plenty of Gluten Free options, though you should reference their menu as there are so many options. Convenient to the Exchange Place PATH station and neighboring offices.

Carolina Wente

This is the second time that I had their nuggets and for the second time my stomach hurts. It says gluten free, however it feels exactly like when I eat gluten.

Jessica Sage

Good tunes, good people, good food. Sometimes I carry out, sometimes I stay in. Everything on the menu is tasty, and lots of gluten free options for my GF friends

Sakshi Pande

Gluten free pancakes too good, must have. Will come back to try other dishes too.

Beware if you’re sensitive to cross contamination with gluten. I order some of their GF pancakes and literally watched them put the batter on the same spot on the grill where they laid open faced bread to toast. They don’t clean the grill in between cooking so my pancakes and mostly my eggs were contamination with bread crumbs. Would not come here again for food. Plus, they forgot my order so I ended waiting 40 plus minutes for some pancakes & eggs.

Brialle Ringer

Best vegan Mac & cheese ever!! And I’ve tried a lot of them. Soo flavorful and satisfying. The Zak is a must try! I love the perfectly smoky mushrooms on top with the delicious sauce. The salad + pico on the side is a lovely fresh addition to the comforting dish. I also had the churro waffle — soo delicious! Seriously my favorite restaurant on the east coast. The intention, donation based, vegan, organic, gluten free, friggen delicious — not to mention the beautiful garden, free produce fridge out front. I’d love to see more models like this, feels like a real gem in the community

Skinners loft was fun. My dining mate has severe food allergies, and they verified that the fryer wasn't cross contaminating with gluten. Super awesome. Most restaurants can't do that. My dinner had hiccups. I got the watermelon salad, and the lettuce was bad. They fixed it and comped the salad part. Service was impeccable throughout this. The salmon was perfectly cooked, also. I'll definitely go back. They had some organic options, the fish was wild. Yea, good stuff!

Tez Termulo

A really cute place with delicious fish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The Islandic salmon is amazing! Staff was attentive and super nice. Music list created a great vibe. I am looking forward to when the garden reopens! BYOB with great mixers.

kevin duffus

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Amazing experience from start to finish. We had a party offsite for 75 people. The whole night went off without a hitch. Diana was easy to work with and her experienced advice was spot on. From planning stage to night of party- exceptionally organized and delivered as discussed. Staff was professional and accommodating with any request. In passing I mentioned a gluten allergy for one of our guests- unsolicited Diana put together a plate and personally delivered it. Aside from all of that- the food was incredible!!! I highly recommend Diana and Casa Cubana.

Luis

Great little cafe in the area. Great selection of hot and cold drinks with different milk alternatives for people who are dairy free like myself. There are also gluten free options available here such as brownies and donuts! The ambiance of this cafe is perfect if you want to stop in and work for a short period of time or take a break. The gentlemen here are VERY friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be visiting more often.

Murat Sivis

Very, very tasty. Everything gluten free.

Anh M Nguyen

A small cute asian fusion brunch restaurant. The portions are decent. You get a lot of food and vegetables. I guarantee you get full after finishing your meal. Every bites were filled with flavor. I recommend trying their vermicelli bowl. They have more western options such as breads and eggs too. There are options for vegetarians and gluten free. The coffee could be stronger. Staffs are nice and welcoming.

A Cozy Hidden Gem in Jersey City! I recently visited Belle Âme Café, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Walking in from the rain, I was immediately greeted by a warm and cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The café is spotless, with plenty of natural light pouring in through the large windows, creating the perfect environment to relax. What truly stood out to me was their Gluten-Free Brazilian cheese bread. I asked them to use it to make an egg and avocado sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious! The coffee was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. To top it off, the staff behind the counter were an absolute delight. Their friendly, welcoming energy added to the overall charm of the place.

I'm embarrassed to say it was the first time visiting in my 20+ years living in downtown JC. Even worse, I've been to every other taco place and this was my last to visit. If you're getting takeout, I'd recommend another taco spot but if you're eating in-person definitely visit. We had the shrimp ceviche and Carne tacos (5 minis w/ rice & beans for $17, super economical) for food. For drinks, we enjoyed 'The Neil' margarita (w/ one Marlee thrown in) and bubbles option. The waitors were extremely helpful and familiar with the menu. Celiac Annie felt at home and was able to partake in all the food options mentioned. I cannot wait to come back. Total package... Presentation, atmosphere food, and drinks...

Christina N

Great staff, friendly and involved owner, and it’s very nice to have a lovely place to get food in this area of the city where there aren’t as many options. I love to see the extended menu since they first opened.. but please 🥲 some more gluten free options would be much appreciated!! Highly recommend the corned beef hash… I got the full rundown on how this was made- so much effort goes into this dish and you can tell: it’s beyond delicious! I always clean my plate with this one.

Elaisa Tamaro

Very nice flat white with a delicious gluten free chocolate brownie! 😋

Deniz Vurmaz

My favorite place to go, the food, people, juices, like literally everything is amazing here! I’m so lucky to have this cute cafe nearby and I’m NOT EXAGGARATING, you feel like you are home. They have Gluten free (GF) muffins (It’s one of the best, never found them anywhere else) and other GF food. 100% recommended!

Rex Accavallo

Really nice spot. Semi limited gluten free options and nothing is clearly marked GF on the menu (however vegan is marked). Food was good but not amazing, prices are a tad high for the food I feel. Great atmosphere though, nice place. The waitress was very sweet (Erika) she was great

Jessi Dunham

Cannot express my love for Hybrid enough! Evan and his team are awesome. They make sure they know you and your order. I go here almost daily for my iced matcha latte. Great matcha. All the baristas are genuinely friendly - Mikey, Michelle, Gabe and Mel. Evan has been working on gluten-free donuts which I had the pleasure of trying and they did not disappoint. Also, if you see the pao de quejo definitely order. Clearly, I'm obsessed

Karol Gawrych

A solid coffee spot near a light rail stop in Newport. A nice selection of gluten free pastries, although nothing extensive overall. The coffee selection is standard, but the pour your own cold brew is a nice touch.

Sabrina Lombardi

The gluten free avocado toast is spectacular!! The service and atmosphere are missing something.

Audrey Tappan

The host is on their business! Well run place. Gluten free bread is A1 and I could drink the sangria for the rest of my life.

Manpreet Singh

Great Cafe - Offers Coffee, HotChocolate, & wide variety of Hot n Cold beverages ! French croissants, Avocado Toast, Breakfast, Gourmet Sandwiches, Gluten Free options ..! Whether working from Laptop, or Just Sipping Coffee, DateNight or Just Chilling, 10/10 Place for Every Occasion…!

David Smith

The bakery items are awesome. Gluten free/vegan/delicious.

In Jersey City it is hard to stand out as an Indian restaurant because there are so many BUT BALAJI BHAVAN is a star! One thing I love is that they specify on the menu about all food allergies — I am vegan and it is very easy to eat there because they tell you, unlike a lot of places where the waitstaff is not sure what has cream or ghee in it. Here it is easy if you are gluten free or have any allergies. That’s just the ordering though…. The food is excellent!! Delicious ! I had the korma (which is vegan) with roti— alll delicious. The atmosphere is so pleasant and bright, the space is beautiful, the service is top notch. 10/10 good work!

Philip Fusciello

Nice, yummy selections + the usually have a gluten free treat option.

Gunjan Amarnani

Charming Neighborhood Cafe with a Personal Touch Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, this cafe exudes warmth and charm. Its cozy size often leads to a wait, but patience pays off here. We ordered the special omelet of the day, featuring asparagus and Swiss cheese. My gluten-free friend was thoughtfully accommodated with a generous fruit bowl in place of bread. While their lattes were a delightful pick-me-up, their known for pistachio croissant - this is a must-try. The icing on the cake? The friendly owner, who, even amidst his culinary duties, takes the time to mingle with guests, ensuring everyone's experience is nothing short of awesome.

Dan

the squagles with exta gluten are good... But no WiFi????

Marcos Rodriguez

My new addiction. Lol And to think my friend orders from here because they are the best gluten free option.

Prasad Ramamoorthy

It had parking in the back and the food was good but very very spicy. They didn't have reuten free options and they're very clear as to what dishes were gluten free and what we're not. For example none of their Dosa items are gluten free. Paneer biryani was awesome so was there medu vada.

Dani B

Great Sweetgreen spot with unreal views of the city. Amber is always so helpful, especially with my gluten allergy. Always love coming here!

Leon Axt

I saw this place had a full Irish and I needed it you see because the last one I had was lacking, no puddings, which, it's not like they're my favorite thing but if you're gonna full Irish then go ahead and Irish me fully. And they did. It was delicious food, the breading on the tomato was a nice touch. I ate it too quickly. They had a Brewdog IPA (Elvis Juice) that went well with it, and then let me do a black magic (Guinness and Magic Hat #9). They were also nice enough to let me move to a bigger table outside when my friends joined for some drinks along with a hairy baby! Oh and they have a gluten free beer for my partner who said it was great. She wouldn't let me have any it was so good (not true, I was perfectly content with what I ordered). Ten for ten would recommend. Heck I'll take you just to go again. I do wish it wasn't only a brunch thing though.

Vaughn Lindquist

Always a tasty meal in quick turnover restaurant. Consistently good quality and a good variety of menu. I'm gluten free, so i appreciate the variety of choice.

Ed Mattingly

I've been to every burger spot in JC and I'm proclaiming this the best... Awesome service and just great burgers. Amazing meat and fresh ingredients. I appreciated the straight-forward burger options and the full bar with actual awesome drinks (B.A.M. highly recommended). Gluten free bun offered for celiac Annie was a huge plus. Had the Mexican Street corn as well and very excited to try the other items on the menu. The overall meal was extremely economical had I not drank three rounds with my wife. I will be back....

Carl Johnson

They have gluten free muffins that were to die for! Staff was really nice and the mocha, delicious. They asked weird questions for a mocha but say yes to all of them!

Julie Buckner

The food is delicious and healthy. Customer service is fantastic as well. Love that they have the option for gluten free food too!!! Will order again :-D

maria TT

Really love pandebono and coffee here. Gluten free Colombian empanadas are perfect for people with low tolerance. And very tasty

C P

One of the few fast food restaurants that are gluten conscious! The GF buns are wrapped separately and they offer bagged potato chips too!

Kiersten

This place is delicious. First time trying. The fajitas were so flavorful, some of the best I’ve had. Empanada was delicious! Shrimp quesadilla a bit pricey but good. I have reviewed before and this is my second time. However from then until now I was diagnosed with celiac. The corn tortilla are homemade and possibly the enemy thing ever. The shrimp corn quesadilla and flautas were beyond incredible.
