Top 21 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Northwest Portland

We went with Verde Cocina as the caterers for our wedding and could not be more pleased with the decision. Literally everyone came up to us to rave above the food. Having the EVO grill there made for a fun addition to the reception and also really made people feel like they were getting the most fresh high quality food. The cocktails were grabbed up almost immediately. Our only regret there was not buying more cocktails. The first bite of crab cake we got after hours of photo taking and wedding stuff will go down as a top 5 bite of food i've ever had. the sentiments were shared by many. Verde Cocina being a gluten-free restaurant and being very sensitive/aware of dietary restrictions was such a massive relief for us and for guests. Arro(in charge of the catering) was so quick with communication, extremely personable, and made the menu selection process a real joy. He's also just a nice guy, by the time we'd actually gotten married he was so excited to say congrats. Probably more that could be said, but I would just say if you are still looking for a catering option, just contact them. It will be worth exploring.

The Beet Rueben, The Walnut Chorizo Quesadilla, The Utopia Dream Salad, The Gilt smoothie, Garden Scramble…Love this place! And I feel safe coming here with my Celiac Disease which is huge.

Cute little vegan spot. Love they clearly list what is gluten free & soy free! I ordered the golden dragon curry which was a nice portion size for the price and tasted lovely.

My first meal at Besaw's was in 1995 when it was located on NW 23rd, I remember vividly the excellent trout special I had for lunch that day, my first week of graduate school. Brunch was a semi-regular occurrence throughout the twenty-teens. We had not been back since the restaurant had closed due to the pandemic. Perhaps we arrived on a "off day" because the food just wasn't up to the previously high standard we can to expect from Besaw's. My wife had the Crab cake eggs benedict but her potatoes were so overcooked they were inedible (see photos), thankfully the potatoes on my dish, the Eggs & Steak weren't as overdone. The steak was decent but not spectacular, having asked for it to be cooked medium but receiving a well cooked piece of meat. To the cook staff's defense it was a thin steak, so well done was inevitable unless closely timed. Our side of bacon could have been more crispy as it was soggy. Perhaps the kitchen staff could swap positions for crispy bacon and well, but not overcooked potatoes. My eldest daughter's Besaws Omelette was well prepared and her potatoes looked cooked properly. So we're not sure why there was such a difference. We do miss the pre-pandemic gluten free options, especially the gluten free pancakes and French toast. We'd love to see those options make a return.

I've been supplementing my diet with Kure ever since I went gluten-free. I love their shakes; my body craves them! Hoping one day Kure gets a location in Beaverton because Moberi and Nekter don't cut it for me.

Great Brunch, loads of delicious food with so many gluten free options! We’ve had 2 little people and they really enjoyed as well!

A tastefully decorated spot with clean Everything! 🤤 Fans that keep you cool despite the many bodies in the room. The friendiest most efficient staff! And the fooooooood!! Oh myyyy gooooooooood!!!! The best! And delicious for my vegan and gluten-free friends. I took one star off atmosphere just because it is so busy it is hard to hear people if they aren't a loud talker. Staff is very good at being loud though.

We order via Uber eats on a semi regular basis, and something is usually wrong. Almost no horseradish sauce on a cheese steak or making both sandwiches gluten free when only 1 should be. Slow down and listen, pay attention. Granted kids these are worthless if they have young workers.

If you like good gluten, this is the place for you

Gluten free for the entire store and good products! Normal servings with normal prices

I live close by & have been coming here for many years & have always had great service & good food. In the last 8 months, I have been managing life-threatening health issues & was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The severity of my autoimmune disease now prevents me from eating at restaurants that are not dedicated gluten-free, but I missed this place so much since getting sick, I insisted that my friend who was visiting town meet me here for lunch today. I came in with a salad I packed from home & some cookies from Trader Joe’s down the street, while my friend ordered two entrees (one for herself, & one to bring back to her husband). Because I love(d) this place so much, I wanted to be sure to personally support them just as I always had despite my new health limitations, so I ordered a large matcha & grabbed a bag of gluten-free chips as well. When we came back to our table, there was a sign saying “Reserved” & we were asked not-so-courteously to move by the owner (?). The only available seats now were outside, so we grabbed all of our things & settled into a table out there. A few minutes later, the owner (?) came over to our table & asked that we move AGAIN because they needed to “leaf blow”. Then she asked about my “outside food” despite seeing that we were clearly paying patrons. Embarrassed, I tried to explain my condition to her but was not met with any empathy. She said she would offer to let us sit somewhere else but it was for hostel guests only. So we were practically kicked-out as there was nowhere else for us to sit. I have never had anything like this happen to me before, it was so awkward & unkind. My friend was forced to box up her meal before she was finished & the bag of chips I bought from them turned out to be past their ‘best by’ date so I had to toss them! What a bizarre experience. I will not be coming back, such a bummer.

This is a great cafe. I had the eggs Benedict with the salmon and avacado. They cooked my eggs exactly the way I asked (jammy, not runny) and the wasabi hollandaise sauce was so delicious. They were able to sub in gluten free bread that actually tasted great. The people working were lovely and it has a very relaxed homey vibe. Will be coming back soon.

We came here after a kid’s birthday party in the neighborhood. The food was delicious and made to order, and the kitchen was really accommodating with our 3 5 year olds, making modifications to the menu to make things kid friendly. I’m gluten free and they also very easily accommodated me. We didn’t have any drinks but the bar menu looked awesome. This is a great little gem!!!

Nice space with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our party of 4 walked in Sunday without a reservation and was still able to be seated right away. The server was quick and friendly. They were able to accommodate our dairy and gluten allergies easily and the menu was premarked with gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan. We got the Nell burger, french dip, steak fries, and stuffed avocado. Everyone was very happy with their order, we'll be back. I was thrilled they had cava by the glass and my daughters loved ordering one of their mocktails.
