Top 19 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Cleveland

Isabella Perez (Bella)

This restaurant is fantastic. There are endless options for gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and keto diets. We were visiting Ohio for a short period and came for dinner and ended up returning a different day for brunch. The lattes here are made perfect. Highly recommend the chicken wings and quesabirra tacos. If we ever make it back to Cleveland we will definitely be coming back here. The ambiance is awesome. Our server, Serena, was knowledgeable, attentive, and welcoming; she made our visit perfect.

We took a chance and stopped for brunch. Both of us are gluten free and the food was fantastic. The service was excellent as well!! Definitely recommend the brisket.

Went here for breakfast both days we were in Cleveland. Great little breakfast/brunch spot. The staff both days were top notch and the food was great! Plenty of gluten-free options and they even have dedicated equipment so there is no cross contamination between their regular meals and gluten-free meals.

Adam T

Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. The food was fresh and tasted good. They have good milkshakes as well.

Marvin J. Miller

Great service, excellent food, generous portions, friendly staff, gluten free.

Brian Haueter

Gluten Free options were available. The omelette I had was very good.

Clean cozy and welcoming. Has a table for 8 plus a few smaller tables for 2. The price was average for a small Independent coffee spot. Gluten free bakery items on hand usually

Brooke Crystaloski

The cafe I recently visited is truly the best I've ever experienced. It's my favorite go-to spot, offering amazing gluten-free options, vegan and organic dishes, and the most incredible variety of juices imaginable. Every visit is a delight, and I can't recommend it enough!

Elicia P

Great food. Made fresh. Has gluten free and vegan options. The bread and slather are always a great choice. Offers a kids menu. Does sell alcohol. Nice small patio with picnic tables. Service is hit or miss. Can order take out.

Laurie Judson, REALTOR

Very cute place, I would love to hang out there but I was just moving through and grabbed a cinnamon sugar cookie that happened to be gluten free. If they make a cookie that dope, I figure I need to come back for some coffee!! It was THAT good! Thanks y’all ❤️❤️🙏

Jenny Kirk

Driving through Cleveland looking for healthy lunch options-gluten free. Solid solid Mediterranean bowls. Personable owner. Fast service. Great prices.

Sallie Ferlotti

We went to cheese school at Astoria! The cheese monger was sooo knowledgeable and energetic. The service was great. They accommodated my gluten free request. A very fun and delicious evening!

Michelle Crow

We were in Cleveland for a quick trip and needed a good restaurant for gluten-free food. I googled restaurants on our path, and this restaurant was suggested. We arrived about 1pm and did not have to wait to be seated. Our server, Bianka, immediately came to take care of us. She very thoroughly went over gluten-free options and even checked with the kitchen to make sure what we wanted was gluten-free. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but when we got it, we understood. This was hands down the best lunch we have ever had. My mom had the burger and fries. She said they were the best fries she had ever had. I had the lamb stew, and I was in food heaven. Overall, this was an amazing experience. We lived the atmosphere, our server, and the food. We will be back.

We enjoy coming here from time to time. In general, we’ve had good service, and the food has always been very tasty and reasonably priced. Parking is along the streets, but can be very close by. In nice weather, there is an outside patio area for seating under an awning, like many cafés in France. There are two main dining areas inside, a smaller cafe-like area and larger, more decorative dining room through a doorway. The dishes we had were not available in the selections list on Google. Those included le Champions (mushrooms) Bourguignon and the Crepe d’Ratatouille (vegetable stew) in a buckwheat crepe (gluten free). The latter has cheese, though I believe they would prepare it without cheese if asked. Our server was efficient and courteous. Getting older now and being later evening, I opted for decaf coffee, which wasn’t the best; it may be the worst thing I’ve had there, but is the exception overall.

Melissa provided perfect breakfast service! Our food was out within minutes and prepared with the modifications we needed (gluten free bread, no red onions). The food was simple but delicious and fresh. Well done all around!

I have visited Punch Bowl Social for the second time and I will definitely be returning again! The service is excellent and the food is amazing! They offer a wide variety of gluten-free options on their menu.

Lizzy MK

I love Metropolitan Coffee! Every time I have been here, the staff is always very kind and welcoming. They have great coffee and different housemade flavors. Also, they have wonderful and delicious food and dessert selections. (Good options also if you are gluten free!) Love it here, and have always felt very safe here even when I am picking up a coffee here by myself.

Brandis Turnbull

We decided to go for the two most decadent sounding appetizers. Both the Krab Fries and Fried Green Tomatoes were not only amazing, not only vegan but also GLUTEN FREE. The fried green tomatoes were perfectly crisp, and the accompanying sauces and garnish were heavenly. The KRAB FRIES 🤤🤤🤤🤤🥲 literally brought a tear to my eye. I don't know what is in that cream sauce, but it tastes like the fanciest seafood chowder and really makes the dish. After devouring the generously portioned noshes, we decided to order the polenta grits and cheesecake to-go. Both were wonderful, and we will definitely return.

Logan Carr

Visited Der Braumeister with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday - it was a great experience! She has a gluten allergy, and we were super excited to see how many options she had on both the expansive food and drink menus. Our dinners were delicious and our server Angie was wonderful.

Delta Golf

Cafe inside Rays Indoor MTB Park was Gypsy Beans! Friendly staff at this location. Coffee was great. Gluten free options but nothing dairy free. They do have some vegan burrito but no idea what it consisted of. Baked goods looked SO yummy.

William Wolkoff

One of the best bakeries in Cleveland! I ordered a gluten free cake for my wife’s birthday, and it was fantastic!

Lia Atchison

All around a great place for a casual dining experience. Love the food, especially the variety of burgers and unique toppings. Thank you for the gluten free options. They have awesome GF buns.

Eve Nicholas

I love this place! The food here is extremely healthy and very accommodating to my dietary restrictions including gluten and dairy. The staff is so welcoming and nice and made the entire experience so much better. 10/10 would come back.

Jordan Kern

Great place with wonderful people. I go there quite a bit for their breakfast and am always pleased. My goto is the Marc's Brothers. They carry gluten free bread which is a rarity for most establishments. I must also admit their sausage is better than Bob Evan's! If you go you must try their pancakes and waffles as well. They are excellent.

Kate London

A lovely place with excellent Mexican inspired foods. They label gluten free on the menu which is amazing.

Jill S

I love stopping here on my way home. The workers are so friendly. I have celiac disease and can't eat gluten. They were so friendly showing me what I can and can't eat.

Cheryl Aron

They have a great assortment of various types of donuts. They have reg as well as vegan and gluten-free, sugar free and dairy free all baked! So delicious 😋

Lee Patrick Drummond

Good food for an airport and had lots of gluten free options, which is nice because travelling with Celiac sucks.

Parker Wilson

What a special place! We came for a medical visit and left with full bellies and happy hearts. Amazing service, above and beyond kindness and EPIC food! Gluten free magic too!

Sirius Infernal

I absolutely LOVE it here. My husband and I just recently discovered 27 Club after picking up the latest copy of Scene Magazine. Due to medical conditions, I frustratingly have to avoid both gluten and dairy. This limits my options at most restaurants & cafes. When I saw the menu here, I was stunned. We got a Margherita pizza with vegan cheese and gluten free crust…it was the best I’ve ever had! My husband, who does NOT have dietary restrictions, said he couldn’t even tell that it was gluten free or dairy free. The drinks are gorgeous. I highly recommend the pink milk latte with oat milk! Make sure you pick up some merch and do not miss the vegan + gluten free desserts that are on the counter, off to the side. We tried the donuts and not only were they tasty, but they weren’t too heavy. I left feeling great. This is a must-visit for the sensitive stomach girlies! Parking is surprisingly decent for the location. Atmosphere is social media worthy and very on brand for MGK. Already looking forward to going back.

Aylin D

Delicious sandwich! Five stars for the bravocado alone. Extra points for having gluten free options. I wouldn’t be able to eat here otherwise. My everlasting gaze smoothie with coffee, oat mylk, banana and other yummy ingredients was the perfect dessert. I ordered online and my food was ready well before the estimated time. I was five minutes away. When I walked in, my food was ready to go. There were still almost ten minutes left on the clock.

Ludmila McNeeley

Everything here was exceptional! The food , the service, and the atmosphere. The kitchen and staff went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy and even prepared GF bread to accompany my salad. Definitely recommend and hope to return soon

We were greeted by Danita who was very polite and welcoming. She made small talk and did he job as a hostess. Our server Laura, who was very attentive, guided us through the menu and also made sure to address my gluten restrictions. It's the small things that really speak volumes. The restaurant was pretty dead for a Saturday night. There were just two other tables besides us. We started with the truffle parmessan Brussel Sprouts and they were delicious. I ordered the Grilled Akura Salmon. I would say that it was a solid 6. Basically it's just a grilled piece of Salmon with asparagus on a top of a saffron corn cream which was not very flavorful. My friend got a black bean burger and she seemed to have enjoyed it. We also got a few drinks. Initially we got the turn which was okay. If you like a good balance of liquor to mix I would stay away from this. The simple syrup took over the flavor. My friend Initially ordered The Cle upon the servers suggestion but it was really sour. She ended up ordering Summer Thyme in Cleveland and she suggested that I bet the Blueberry Hill since the Turn was just subpar and I want drinking it. I told her that I was fine and didn't want to send it back but ended up ordering the blueberry hill which was really good if you like bourbon. Overall the experience and great and the atmosphere was very nice though people checking into the hotel did get a bit annoying.

We have had good coffee and scones and gluten free muffins here. We appreciate the local shop. We wish we could do self serve cream but otherwise it’s fabulous here.

April Frank

My coffee spot in CLE. My favorite Cold Brew and gluten free muffin stop. Would love a GF breakfast sammich next. Appreciate the plants and albums!

Tour Guide Cory

Iced Vanilla Latte was great! Friendly staff. They were understaffed and felt faster than starbucks when busy. Also, they have some gluten free baked goods from philomena.

Tim Connors

Great coffee and matcha. The matcha is unsweetened. I got a nitro cold brew coffee. They also serve gluten free pastries.

While visiting Cleveland, my group and I picked Heart of Gold randomly after a Google search of restaurants in the area, while looking for places that have vegetarian and gluten free options. The food amount is generous on every single entree we ordered, but the flavor has made it a must visit every time we are in the area. I had the couscous salad but had a concern that one of the ingredients would be too spicy (as I am quite intolerant of heat). The server (Gemma) said it wasn’t spicy but didn’t miss a beat and made it on the side so that I could judge if it was right for me. She was right about the heat, and the balance of acid and sweet was perfect! It also had the best combination of texture with soft, crunchy, and chewy elements. All but one of us (5 people total) had several requests for Gemma and she came through on every one including comping a drink when the one ordered wasn’t able to be made as listed on the menu and a substitute ingredient was used but wasn’t satisfactory. I will definitely ask to eat there again when I’m visiting, and I know others in my group who live in the area will highly recommend Heart of Gold to anyone looking for a great restaurant.

Ryan Giorgio

Great coffee. I ordered a gluten-free blueberry tart and I'll be dreaming about it for weeks. So good.

Kate London

Claims to have gluten free bagels on their sign but I check each time I come though and the last time they actually carried them was October of 2022.

Jenny donahue

This is such a cute place to dine!! The atmosphere is very comfortable & cozy with much appealing decor to look at, including artwork from the owner! The food is delicious with perfect portions! They WANT to know your food allergies and are very accommodating. I am dairy free, gluten free, potato free, and corn free, and had zero issues finding anything I could eat right off their menu. The owner is so super friendly & wonderful! Highly recommend!!

Ben Sager

This place is very nice. Very accommodating and knowledgeable of gluten free. The manager even made sure the remade my breakfast sandwich when they realized it was cut with the wrong knife. I would recommend to anyone for breakfast or brunch.

Erin Moline

Amazing gluten free and vegan options, both for pastries and drinks! They feature delicious coffee with homemade vanilla syrup. Love the atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

Bonnie Bridges

Helen Ertin

So to be fair, I’ve never actually been here in person - BUT I had a coupon for DoorDash and I stumbled upon Milk + Honey. I was so happy to see they offer gluten-free options! The drinks are BEYOND beautiful and delicious. The breakfast bagels are reasonably priced. If you love coffee and tea, you’ll love the creative drinks!

Camila Estrada

I loved discovering this place where everything — juices, smoothies, and more — is freshly made to order. They also offer grab-and-go options from the fridge if you’re in a hurry. But what really stood out to me: they don’t use seed oils, preservatives, or refined sugars in their ingredients. Everything feels clean and thoughtfully prepared. They also have great gluten-free options! The space itself is airy and fresh, with high ceilings, spotless cleanliness, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Cool and chill background music adds the perfect touch.

So much thought has gone into every item in this cafe - no seed oils, all organic produce, clean water / reverse osmosis water and a variety of drinks I still need to try (which are also creative). There are not many places that are as organic/clean and free of additives. Finding this place by a simple google was really nice! plant - based milks (cashew and oat) made from scratch (house nut milk made with reverse osmosis water). I tried the following: - Gluten-free bagels that were soft and fluffy and filling (and not starchy like most GF breads) - GF muffins (tried the banana oat and it was delicious, not overly banana or sweet) - Iced matcha with cashew milk and fresh muddled organic blueberries (pictured) I love exploring organic/healthy places that I would not otherwise get to try when traveling for appointments - finding this gem a few minutes away from downtown Cleveland was a nice end to lots of stress and planning. I can't wait to go back and try more items like coffee!

We came to Cleveland for a show at playhouse square. This place was within walking distance and had gluten free pizza! It is bar far one of the best gluten free pizzas we have ever had!! so good.

Courtney Stout

Very delish smoothies. Super cute inside. All ingredients are vegan and gluten free. Friendly staff!
