Top 43 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Charlotte

Jersey was our waitress and absolutely was amazing. We came with 3 children and she did everything to make sure the whole family was happy. You can’t find great waitresses like her anymore but she goes over and beyond to ensure her customers are well taken care of. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful experience. Our family is gluten free so going to a breakfast place with gluten free pancakes/ waffles is really a treat for us. Not only are they gluten free but they are so delicious to eat!

I loved that they had gluten free toast & pancakes. Our guy Tyrone was amazing and attentive. Bringing hot maple syrup for the pancakes was a great touch.

We are so thankful for Sunflour Bakery! For the past 4 years, we’ve ordered a gluten free, vegan cake due to wheat and egg allergies for our daughter, and they always turn out so delicious and beautiful. This year was our favorite! Having a local shop able to accommodate this request is SO amazing to us!

Fabulous food and our server, Jules, was wonderful! Took care of everything needed and did a great job with gluten free. We will for sure be back - thank you, Jules!

Snooze lives up to its fantastic name and only gets better from there. The atmosphere has a quirky diner vibe, complemented by exceptionally hospitable service. My wife ordered the Denver omelet with hash browns and gluten-free toast, and she devoured nearly all of it—which is a rare feat! I opted for the traditional eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and a side of bacon. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had in my life! The bacon was irresistibly crave-worthy, too. Thank you, Snooze, for an outstanding experience!

I have been to Sanctuary Bistro many times many times over the years even though it’s over 30 miles away from my home. It’s probably the best restaurant of my lifetime even though I have been blessed to experience many exquisite restaurants especially in the Southern California area where I lived until 6 years ago. The food is amazing, all vegan, gluten free and very delicious! The atmosphere is delightful and so are the people!!! I simply cannot express how much I love this experience and no, I am in no way profiting from this, except in the sense that I believe this business is making our world a better place!!! 😋💝

We happened upon this amazing pizza when we were downtown while on a recent trip to Charlotte. Our daughter is gluten free and it was by far the best pizza we have ever had. The GF crust is made in house and was fabulous. Highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a great GF pizza.

Andrea James

I try to eat at Sixty Vines every time I visit Nashville, you can never go wrong! Most recently I got a gluten-free pizza and devoured the entire thing!

One of the only places we found that could cater for gluten and dairy allergies! Very good !

Mary Lathem

Delicious gluten free waffle! Alma has been our server twice and she is always so lovely. Can’t wait to come back!

Lizz Newing

Everything on the menu is gluten free!! Some vegan options too! I love the Mac and cheese bowl and hubby had the Mahana bowl. Great prices for a good amount of food. Did I mention that everything is gluten free??

I had an amazing experience at The Salty Donut! I tried the Vegan PB&J, the gluten-free donut, and the Tiramisu donut—and each one was a standout in its own way. The Vegan PB&J was nostalgic and rich, with the perfect balance of nutty and fruity flavors. The gluten-free option was impressively moist and flavorful—not something you always get with gluten-free treats. And the Tiramisu donut? Pure indulgence, with layers of creamy coffee flavor that truly hit the spot. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just a donut lover, there’s something here for everyone. Highly recommend stopping by!

Gus

Was there yesterday with the family to get gluten free doughnuts and they were awesome. Besides other regular doughnuts we ordered. Thank you for providing gluten free options to the public, my daughter greatly appreciates it. We drive 30 minutes just to get them.

James Sanchez

Online ordering and takeout is super easy. Pizza is always delicious and the gluten free crust makes this spot one of our classic go to options.

GLUTEN FREE REVIEW: Absolutely amazing experience with endless Gluten Free options available - both appetizers came with gluten free bread. All pizzas can be made on gluten free crust and pastas can be made with gluten free noodles! Bonus that there is no up charge for gluten free. The flavors of everything were amazing and the atmosphere was great! Our favorites were the mussels and whipped ricotta. Heads up that the chopped salad was spicy!! We didn’t get to try a gluten free pasta but will be back to do so!

Cat Rutstein

Rae is wonderful! So helpful and so attentive. Their seasonal berry French toast is amazing. This is one of the few places in south end that offers gluten free options for breakfast. They modify as many things to meet your dietary restrictions as they can, which is greatly appreciated from a girl who needs gluten free food.

A Colaco

Staple restaurant in the SouthPark area. Always appreciate the kindness of the team throughout the dining experience. They are knowledgeable about the menu and helpful when advising about the gluten-free options. There are plenty of options — but it is best to ask for guidance/confirmation. We tried the watermelon and tomato salad this visit and it was GREAT! We also enjoyed the meat and cheese tray!

Ebonique Morman

Enjoyed a brunch break with my family of 6. I tried the Louisiana Quiche with a side of potatoes. The quiche was good as far as seasoning and flavor but the pastry part of the quiche was overcooked and therefore hard to eat with a fork. The hot chocolate was great! It’s my go-to hot drink. I give it and our service 5/5. Although it’s a 45-minute drive from Kannapolis, I’ll happily make it again; especially since I’m the passenger while my husband drives ;) The menu has so many options, I love trying different things! I don’t mind paying for good quality, feel-good food that’s prepped fresh. I’m always satisfied. If I find something that I don’t prefer, I just order something different next time. So many choices, including gluten-free and vegetarian.

So yummy! Gluten friendly options!

Let’s start with how beautiful the restaurant is and service is top notch. My server “Erika “ was very attentive and answered all my questions. I loved that they have lots of gluten free options. I will definitely be coming back because the food is phenomenal.

I gave a 3 because My food was good (reg diet). however we visited vicious biscuits during to my husband’s gluten intolerance. The gluten free biscuit was extremely burnt and hard as a brick. When we asked for another one we were told the entire batch was this was the same. We were disappointed because we thought had found a restaurant with good gf alternatives.

I was so excited to try this “Instagram-famous place” for lunch and drove all the way from SC to try their chef’s special pastries. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with everything I ordered, including the regular latte, quiche Lorraine, and gluten-free passion fruit mousse cake. I spent $30 on these three items and ended up throwing everything away. I noticed other guests doing the same or just leaving their pastries untouched. I do not recommend this place at all—avoid it by all means! The food is simply not tasty!

Amazing service. Get to that in a moment. Had dinner with 14 colleagues. We ordered several apps and soups. All delicious. Our dishes arranged from vegetarian to gluten-free to pad Thai to shrimp, chicken and beef. I originally ordered the firecracker shrimp. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The dish came out lukewarm, shrimp a bit tough and it lacked flavor. Our server, Upon sharing with our server, Trinity, she immediately removed the dish. I replaced it with spicy chicken. It was hot and packed with flavor. Trinity offered exceptional service, taking care of our group. We never had to ask for refills. She was engaging and we enjoyed her wonderful personality. Well done, Trinity!

Pros : - the cake is phenomenal - I don’t like cake at all and I love their cakes - the strawberry filling is perfection - pricing for cakes is competitive to other bakeries - the store smells amazing when you walk in Cons : - can’t order cakes in person at the store… can only be ordered online. Was told this was to prevent the small store area from getting crowded during Covid … I get safety precautions but I was told this in July 2024. Maybe it’s time to update your procedures. I was ordering cakes for my wedding and wanted to make sure the frosting colors were right bc sometimes colors on a screen or in a pic look different - was told to move along and order online and looking at pictures of the colors and an online order was my only option. - they don’t offer delivery - they don’t offer tiered cakes - I ordered the horizontal palette designs with my wedding colors and the cakes I picked up the day before the event had vertical designs on them. I had already had such a bad experience with customer service over multiple in person visits and over the phone that I chose not to say anything bc ultimately no one but me would know/care at the wedding and I didn’t have any time to wait for them to try and fix it or come back later. - ordering/paying in store is chaotic - there is no structure or direction for forming a line or helping customers in an orderly manner - no gluten free options

Hunter Foote

Big fan of the gluten-free options and overall service and quality food. Really top notch.

I come to Sunflour Baking Company often because the food is great — they have a lot of gluten-free options, delicious breakfast, and really good coffee. But the customer service needs some improvement. On my most recent visit the girl working the counter — she had dark hair with green dye — didn’t greet me or say anything. I had to start the conversation and place my order without any acknowledgment. She barely spoke, didn’t smile, and seemed totally uninterested. When the order was done, she didn’t say anything like “your food will be out soon,” and just walked away. When I received my food and said “thank you,” she didn’t respond. I love the food here and I love this place, but I think the experience would be so much better if the staff were a bit more friendly and welcoming.

Food is always great, awesome gluten free options. But man, do not come here if you’re on any sort of schedule. Been trying to leave for the last 30 minutes…. No dice.

Morgan Keller

Justin and Star were the best at accommodating our gluten free & Celiac group, thank you for making our brunch experience and being so kind!

I’ve been to this place a few times and it’s consistently pleasant, well priced, and had a unique breakfast menu with plenty of classics. Our server was friendly and the restaurant was busy but surprisingly and relaxed. The gluten free options were really diverse and gave my wife a ton of options. Really enjoyed the iced coffees and the good location, will be back. Joey was our server, he was great too.

Elyse Davis

Great coffee and treats! GF muffin options were delicious. We had double chocolate chip and strawberry/zucchini. Both moist and full of flavor. Unfortunately they do not have any GF bread but can make most menu items a bowl. Nice outdoor area too.

Food is good here! A lot of gluten free options. Carrie is always great too!

Laurie Watson

I ordered a blueberry lemon gluten free cake for a birthday! They did a beautiful job! Everything was perfect and the staff went above and beyond! Highly recommend!

I would not consider this an allergy-friendly restaurant. Quite frankly, if a kitchen and restaurant do not care about the health of their customers, what are they even doing cooking food for other people? I ordered the chicken avocado wrap with a gluten-free tortilla (which I paid extra for) and asked for no cheese. I also ordered a grilled cheese with fries and ketchup. I was a little taken aback when I realized my wrap wasn’t labeled gluten-free, but I tried to keep an open mind. Then I noticed it had cheese in it as well. I called the restaurant to confirm whether it was a gluten-free wrap. The person on the phone just tried to describe it to me, but honestly, there was no way to tell. I was left with food that I couldn’t be sure was safe for me to eat. The grilled cheese we ordered was burned, but I didn’t even bother bringing it up because it was already clear they had no process for handling issues with orders and didn’t consider it important enough to escalate to a manager. I did mention that they forgot the ketchup; however, the woman on the phone decided to blame the Grubhub driver for that. Explain to me how it’s the driver’s job to pick up ketchup, napkins, and silverware. They work for Grubhub—they’re a delivery driver. Why should they be doing the restaurant’s job? Plus, the bag was stapled shut when it arrived. Was he supposed to bring those items in his pockets? Disappointing and not like I remember it when it was the Dilworth location.

This place was a wonderful surprise. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and there are lots of delicious options. I got the avocado toast with poached eggs and bacon. She got the breakfast tortilla and we shared the banana chocolate chip muffin. Fantastic. Everything was “made with love” according to the owner and I could taste it. He wa a wonderful guy as well. It was clear he loved his work. We definitely will go back.

Not celiac safe. All GF crepes are cooked on the same surface as regular crepes and same utensils are used. I was really sad I couldn’t eat here!

Desiree Wood

They are awesome!! I love that they have a gluten free menu!!

Patsy Pope

The food here is amazing. I went in January for my birthday! The Ube Pancakes did not disappoint & the short rib hash was sooo good. My friend who has celiac got the oreo pancakes and my other friend got the shrimp and grits. We were all in love and full! I do think they need more space, I felt cramped and like I was in the staff’s way even though I was seated. Besides that, I want to go back soon bc it’s just that good!
