Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across North Carolina

Shaun Provost

Delicious gluten free eats and amazing coffee, atmosphere, and workers!

April Sallan

Awesome sweets! I had a friend who was in the area and she found this place. I asked her to bring the lemon pound cake, oatmeal cookies and apple muffin. Everything tasted awesome. Look forward to ordering some things in the future! Thanks!

Dan Sheehan

This is a great spot for food allergies. My wife had a fried chicken sandwich which was gluten free and she was in heaven. I had their signature black bean burger and the jalapeno jam was very tasty.

Hannah Lindsey

Absolutely amazing vegan (with gluten-free options!) bakery. I've never had a bad donut here :)

Kolin McKelvey

Food was good. We got their beignets and some breakfast stacker crepes. My Celiac wife forgot to tell them that she was gluten free so they had to remake the dish for her. They were very nice about it. Only reason for lack of star was server wasn’t very attentive and forgot silverware

We were told to visit Old Europe Pastries because they have gluten-free options. Indeed, they do! The carrot cake is outstanding. We also got what I'll call a lemon bundt cake (which I can't remember the exact name, sorry), which was excellent. We'll definitely go back!

Naomi Peterson

Great, classic American foods with choices on the menu for everyone! I am celiac, my son isn't, and we both had a delicious breakfast and lattes!

Donna Shultz

Such a wonderful eclectic coffee shop with all gluten free treats. I got the lavender cardamon scone that was delicious!! The cinnamon sugar oatmilk latte was yummy, too.

Jen Ulbrich

Gluten free food that tastes amazing!!

Let me just say- a cafe that is SPACIOUS, open EVERY DAY until 8pm, has tons of flavors, is affordable, GREAT service!!!! this was my first time here and i got a cold brew with sugar free chocolate and raspberry it was SO GOOD!! i am gluten free and appreciated the separate case for gf items, but unfortunate it all contains nuts so i wasn’t able to try any of it… however it looks fantastic!!!

Shaun Provost

Their head chef is actually celiac, so very knowledgeable! The food is delicious and the atmosphere here is unmatched. As long as you share your allergies, they are very accommodating and knowledgeable in how to keep you safe!

Marie Schwirten

Amazing gluten free baked goods, multiple options!

Tiffany Rhine

I am so thankful they offer gluten free...pancakes included!! Beverly was our service provider and she made me aware of all the gluten free options (I had no idea!). Such a wonderful breakfast topped off by friendly and fantastic service! Be back soon, OPH!!

Diane Eblin

GF hash brown waffles and buckwheat crepes. Yum

Phoebe Isaacs

Every single time we come to Asheville, I eat the Chicken and waffles at Early Girl. It's phenomenal. (and Celiac safe!) They have tons of other options, too. Laid back casual diner with delicious, unique brunch fare. Worth the wait, if you catch it during the busy season!

Ian Greenleaf

Y'all are really blessed to have such great food. I had a biscuit with fried chicken gravy, and it was simply incredible. The best biscuit and gravy I've had in... some years lol. I was also able to pick up a gluten-free/vegan biscuit for my friend, which is just lovely. If I'm ever back in town, I'll be stopping by again :)

Kaitlin Kobrenski

Donutz was delish!

Sheri Alkire

Service and food were great! My only disappointment is that HQ is changing their menu and taking several items off including one of my favorite gluten free foods…street noodles.

Marci Huntsman

Wonderful breakfast food, amazing gluten-free waffle

Sara K

Beware the vegan gluten free muffin. Delicious, but NOT gluten free!

John Yates

I want to start by saying, we really liked the restaurant and food was great! Their gluten free bread was really good also. The reason for the 3 star review though is solely based on our experience with the waitress. When we ordered I ordered their Turkey club, hella good btw, and asked for gluten free bread. I then asked for the french fries. Her body language and attitude immediately changed very aggressively and replied, “I can’t give you that” I asked why, and she said “because they’re fried in the same oil as other things”. I then tried to explain that I have more of a gluten intolerance and would be fine. I live with it and know my body. “She then got even more rude and defensive and said “ Well I will not be responsible if you get sick then” I have never been treated like that over gluten before. I greatly appreciate the concern she was trying to convey however the level of rude and tone of talking to me like a child was extremely off putting and honestly will never go back there because of her. We genuinely really loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant until her. Maybe she was having a bad day but to be nice and friendly and then a complete 180 difference was extremely disappointing.

Ryan McDonald

I love this place. I've been here a few times and I like it more the more I visit. The food options are numerous for me (Gluten allergy) and I'm all about organic foods. They are also very conscious of allergies and accommodate accordingly. The staff is friendly and playful, too! They clearly care about the principles of this place. And atmosphere is nothing special, but gets the job done. 5 stars for sustainability though, with their steel cutlery and plates. Come check it out! Totally worth it.

morrigan moyer

Delicious Ruben sandwich and I was able to fully enjoy it with gluten free bread!

SB

My husband, two kids, and I dined out for brunch on Easter morning. They had so many yummy gluten free options! I wish they carried GF pure organic maple syrup though as I am allergic to blueberries!

Heather Armstrong

Amazing savory and sweet crepes, and best of all for me, all are available in gluten free. We discovered this restaurant when we visited UNCW with our son, and now that he is a student there, we make sure to visit Our Crepes & More whenever we’re in town. My favorites are the Monte-Cristo savory and the Mont-Blanc sweet, but really, we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve tried.

Dawn Lineman

Love that it’s completely gluten free I have celiac and anxiety when trying new places but my biggest concern was what to eat I chose the khalessi bowl and hot mocha omg soooo gooooo if you like clean juice you will love this my partner had avacado toast and couldn’t tell it was gf wish I lived closer

Jeff and Pam Terrell

Excellent selection of gluten-free food! Everything tasted amazing

Sally Nickerson

Great market salad. Fast service. Yes, finally they have gluten-free rolls. I can get my chicken sandwich again.

Stephanie DuVall

Our waitress was Kate and she was fantastic! She recommended the fried chicken which we got in two different dishes and it was delicious (and gluten free). The Biscuit French was absolutely amazing - sweet, soft, and topped with homemade whipped cream. Best meal we had in Asheville (actually by a long shot).

Tesha Gulati

Great gluten free and vegetarian options

Yanni Bistro is truly a hidden gem in Matthews, NC. I’ve been here a few times before and always loved their food—especially the salads, which are consistently fresh and flavorful. And let’s not forget the gingersnaps. It seems like every time I visit, they’re generously offering complimentary gingersnaps. Today, I stopped in on a whim during my day off and ordered a lavender latte with almond milk and a gluten-free BLT. I decided to sit outside, soaking in the minimalist decor and letting the sound of birdsong become the soundtrack to my morning. Then something unexpected and lovely happened—the owner brought my BLT out to me personally and struck up a conversation. What started as a quick meal turned into a 30-minute, soul-filling talk about food, wellness, and the importance of clean ingredients. I learned that everything on the menu is sourced locally from the farmers market next door, and I could genuinely feel his passion and care behind every bite. Yanni Bistro gets 10 out of 5 stars for their incredible customer service, peaceful atmosphere, and commitment to healthy, locally-sourced ingredients. They also offer fantastic gluten-free and vegan options, which is a huge plus. If you’re in the area—go. Take yourself on a breakfast date. You might just leave with more than a full belly.

Krystal Aubry

Really nice outdoor seating space, and the crab cake sandwich I had was fantastic. What I appreciated most is when I had questions about ingredients in some of the dishes, the cook came out and talked to me and made sure I ordered something completely gluten free. We'll be back there again next year!

Amber Easterling

Absolutely everything on the menu is gluten free except the empanadas! They can make those in flautas form though! It’s so nice to go to a restaurant and be able to order almost everything on the menu!

Finney P

Gluten free pizza was delicious.

Alison Salo

A true bright spot for those with Celiac Disease! Food and experience made our trip.

Teresa Mohr

I got a gluten-free biscuit and ham sandwich. The biscuit was wonderful, but my ham was very fatty. My daughters got the biscuit and gravy and really enjoyed it.

Anita M. Purganan

So many GF options and I’ve never had any issues. Great food for all!!

B B

Wife is gluten free and most of the menu is GF. You would never know it. It tastes better than any other Mexican food we have ever had. Birria tacos, cornbread, carne asada tacos, enchiladas, EVERYTHING was top notch. We were in town for one night and ate here twice!

Tracie Lane

The best grits and eggs I've had in years. I also loved the gluten-free waffle. But what I loved most is the premise behind this place.

Amber Easterling

Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free on a separate surface. They also have a full bar. Perfect for brunch! 3 Charlotte locations! We got the Pineapple upside down pancakes and the Spuds Deluxe!

Morgan Smith

Amazing for people with celiac disease!!! They have separate prep areas so no risk for cross contamination, and the food is so good it makes you question if it’s gluten free. Best gluten free food on the beach!!!!!

Stephen Hamby

A great place that is easy to eat vegan and gluten free. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the area.

Christopher Rampton

We came here twice on an extended weekend and got to try the house made gluten free options: quiche, bagels, and a very yummy raspberry oat bar. All were delish! My wife had the same but traditional (not gluten free) and she enjoyed it. Pam is the owner and was very friendly. Highly recommended!

Carmen Respass

I really enjoyed the food . I had the souffle, a po' boy, potato salad, and the lemon cake. Everything was delicious. I was full for hours . Thank goodness everything is gluten-free and vegan, being that I am gluten and dairy intolerant. It was a good feeling knowing that my food was safe and that I would not have any allergic reactions. Our server Noel was a joy. Very friendly.

Kim Wilson

We visit Winston Salem every year for a dance convention and somehow have never been here until now. Tons of gluten free options and the staff is so friendly on a busy Saturday morning after a winter storm. We’ll definitely be back.

Jennifer Adolfie

Excellent food with many gluten free options! GF options are clearly marked on the menu. The GF bun was awesome. Definitely recommend!

Jared Hiltzik

The Gluten Free pizza is phenomenal. Probably top 3 in Charlotte, if not, number 1. With that being said, the service was very bad. We arrived at 5:15 and the hostess was very nice and seated us and made room for our baby. About a minute later, our server, Anthony came to the table. He asked if we wanted anything to drink and we just said water and he said he would come back. Well 25 minutes later my wife had to get up to find him so that we could order. Once we placed the order it took another 30 for the food to come out. We chose to eat before 5:30 since we were out with a baby and it was empty at that time. We never got an apology or anything. You can’t deny how great the pizza is, but the service was terrible this time.

Christina Lamia

I’m so happy to have a vegan place so close to home and that they also have gluten free options as well! My personal favorite thing to order is the chorizo tacos, they are so flavorful and delicious. Love this place!

Henry Kennelly

Incredible gluten free pizza. Had a great time with Ivy at the bar! Very much recommend. Just waiting on the gf bun so I can have the burger!! :)

Bethany Bishop

I am a very symptomatic celiac and this is my favorite restaurant in town! Never been glutened here, dedicated fryer and everything is delicious!
