Top 49 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Southwest Portland

Abigail Sanderson

My go-to spot for a special treat when I’m in downtown! The whole experience is delightful. I always try something new and the pecan bun is my latest favorite. Gluten free, vegan, sweet and savory options means there’s something for everyone!

Excellent celiac-safe food!

I was shocked to see that there weren't 100% 5 stars on this place...! It is our favorite place in town-- for edible! We leave in deep NE Portland and drive all the way out for the goodies. I am allergic to gluten, soy, and dairy, and not only can I have basically everything in The store, I haven't had anything like it since realizing I had allergies (over a decade ago). Hands down beats Petunia's or G.E.M. or any of the other alternative bakeries. My partner eats all the things, and still will get a bunch for herself. We had Sinful Confections for our wedding, and no one had any idea it was gluten/soy/dairy free-- and people thought it was amazing! Anyway, if you haven't tried them-- do it!

This is my favorite breakfast restaurant! Especially since they offer gluten-free pumpkin spice pancakes!

Nestled in the first floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Portland, this very active hub has a lot to live up to. Serving great food and spirits with quality one would expect at much higher end establishments. It's very active and lively, so not the best option for a quiet experience, but fantastic if you want some of the highest quality for a surprisingly low cost. I ordered the frittata with potatoes, that came with a choice of toast. I requested gluten free bread, a side of sausage, and an Irish pick me up, (Irish coffee with an extra kick of espresso). All of which exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'm sure you will be too. However, expect a short wait as I'm not the only one that feels so highly of this spot.

Phenomenal food and service. All vegan options with consideration for those who need gluten food as well. A perfect place to satisfy that 'diner' itch without the ambient sausage/bacon stank

I love this cafe! I used to live in the neighborhood and have missed it. Great gluten free sandwich today! I hear Jola will be offering dinner service starting Wednesday next week! I'll be returning on my next visit to Portland to try it out!

juliet sutherland

Outstanding. The food, the drinks, the service- all excellent. There are so many great restaurants in Portland, this one stands out. I have celiac, I felt so taken care of. Friends of ours introduced us to Lechon today, we will go back.

Jeff E

A must stop for people with celiac or gluten intolerance. Tons of fantastic gluten-free options.

Erin Coop

The food is fantastic and the runners are always coming around with different meats. Its all you can eat and the full churrasco experience is recommended. Almost the whole menu is Gluten-Free. Resturant is crowded and the tables and chairs are very close to eachother. Can be hard to get through the resturant without running into someone. Very fast paced and busy staff.

Tyler Sakura

Fast friendly service with good food and coffee. They also have a number of gluten free options.

Elizabeth Jones

My girlfriend and I have been regulars at this stand for going on 4 years. They have gluten free food options, which is a massive plus, and their coffee is just plain good. The staff there is always polite, friendly and knowledgeable

Crystal Kelly

Food was super good! The had good gluten free options! Staff was super friendly and fast.

Candace Hanks

This was a little hard to find using Google maps, you have to go inside the bancorps building to find it. Everything on the menu is gluten free except the burrito. Everything is vegan. I had the amazbowl for breakfast. It was a perfect departure from the fried food I had been eating in my work trip. The chef also checked on me several times to make sure I didn't need anything. Would definitely go back! Also, the owner game me a free piece of cheesecake as I was leaving 😁

Tommy Darden

Kure offers a variety of downtown vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is consistently friendly, the smoothies are consistently delicious, and their breakfast sandwich is truly impressive!

Rachel Furman

Great food and the friendliest staff and owner. Recommend it to everyone and is often our go to meal. Great option for gluten free, or dairy free individuals.

Went here with my teammates from work. Their food is delicious! I had the Cioppino that came with enough toasty French (?) bread to mop up the flavorful broth. Lots of mussels, fish, and other seafood to fill out the large, full bowl - enough to take home for a meal later. Service was timely, friendly, and efficient, and the atmosphere like a neighborhood meeting place. They also had a menu ready for my gluten-free friend - an unexpected surprise! It was a bit spendy, but, then again, everything is these days. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the entryway is not readily apparent - I had to walk around the entire building to find the door. It was well worth it, though.

Josina Reaves

Needed good coffee and great food and got both with a view! Breakfast sandwich on gluten-free bread was excellent! Perfect gf bread, which can be hard to find. Husband's breakfast wrap was beautiful and full of veggies. And the iced coffee was amazing!

Abigail Sanderson

I came in with low expectations, I mean it’s a hospital coffee shop… and was so impressed! I got the two egg breakfast with gluten free toast and ate it so fast I could take a picture! The bacon was perfectly crispy and thick, nailed the over easy eggs and the gluten free toast was some of the best I’ve had! For dessert I had a pumpkin spice latte with oat milk and a gluten free salted caramel chocolate chunk cookie. All delightful. Staff was super friendly and I found out it’s a locally owned family business. If you’re at OHSU it’s an amazing option!

Taylor from Portland

Everything on the menu is clearly marked gluten free, they even mark the teriyaki sauce. I ordered macaroni salad for my partner and they packaged it separately in a plastic tub AND wrote “gf” on my box… There were so many other green flags with how the food was cooked and prepared, I so so appreciated how easy and “normal” it felt to order something allergen friendly :)

Ben Miller

Wonderful breakfast sandwiches and GLUTEN FREE option for any sandwich on the menu! Yolko Ono is the go to for sure but Sriracha Mix A Lot is also a must try!

Kate Kim

This bakery has great gluten free options. Their Macarons are some of the best I’ve ever had. The vanilla tastes like vanilla ice cream.

Catherine Peacher

great atmosphere! also good gluten-free options and kind staff :)

Ken Boyar

Each dish was a masterpiece in itself. Something as simple as olives and chickpeas was elevated to a really delicious dish. The halibut and pork chops were both fantastic. The service was terrific. One of us eats gluten free and they were extremely knowledgeable about it. Highly recommended.

susan stier

I want to love this place but don’t be fooled by gluten free menu designations. I got hit with gluten hard. I had them check with the chef but got hit anyway. Afterwards I checked their status on find me gluten free and sure enough many have had this same issue.

Donna Cox

Fast friendly service. Gluten free options - they have a carb-free breakfast bowl or gluten free bread for breakfast sandwich. Also a case with fruit and yogurt.

Jody McNannay

In a word, AWESOME. Everything in this place is top notch. The owner and her staff are welcoming and know their jobs. They listen and deliver on sometimes silly and ridiculous requests--which is what we've all come to expect in a coffee shop. In addition to the best mochas (according to my husband), they also offer a great variety of pastries (vegan and gluten free, too) and killer breakfast sandwiches. The secret is out--Driftwood Coffee rocks!

I don't go to Portland Oregon that often but then again maybe I should. I definitely recommend SUNRICE Restaurant. I got there early and they had just finished making a big catering order. There were stacks of takeout lined along the shelf ready to deliver. I finally placed my order as I met tj the owner made his suggestions. As I am Celiac and lactose intolerant. I went back and forth between the fish & chicken. I went with the marinade chicken and I can truly say it was the best I have ever had. Soft tender garlic, orange flavor explodes with every bite. I love the fact that I had never been to this restaurant and found this gem! I'm sure the other food choices in the menu are also delicious. I will just have to come back and try them all out. Wishing you all success, & happiness Thank you so much

The selection of Gluten-free food is amazing and good

Mandi Hougham

Seriously phenomenal food with spectacular service. Vegan and gluten free options available.

Cassandra P

Great breakfast. Homemade sausage and wonderful gluten free bread. Coffee was okay.

David Lowell

Lovely lunch! The Mr Miyagi sandwich was da bomb. Adored the chicken teriyaki dumplings. Can't stop thinking about them. Chicken bento was delicious, and made gluten free.

Marc Adenwala

They don't have a huge selection, but what they do have is quite good. Their gluten free cookies are great too.

Sheamus

We stumbled into this place hangry and lost tourists. The servers were very warm and helpful ☺️ ordered all different food and we all were very satisfied for the price. They were very timely too. Thank you 🙏 gluten free option for the avocado toast was great!

Adrienne Thiesing

I arrived at my hotel late at night and wanted a bite to eat, I ordered the brussel sprouts off the appetizer menu and they swept me off my feet! I was served a large bowl of brussel sprouts, cauliflower, chickpeas and arugula tossed and flavorful seasonings... the flavors were bold, the textures were just right, and the serving was plentiful. This is a vegan and gluten-free dish and filled me up as dinner!

Open for reservations starting October 31st! We had an 8pm reservation. We tried Bay Shrimp & Potatoes, Salmon Crudo (subbed the cured lemon gel with yuzu to make it gluten free), Roasted Potato with Bacon and Crème Fraîche, Gorge dessert. The salmon crudo (w/ the yuzu) was our favorite! The flavors were outstanding. Portions are small, appetizer size. We didn’t opt for the Grand Dishes which are $130-$240. The the restaurant and the entire hotel is beautiful. We had a window seat with a beautiful city view. There is a covered outdoor balcony near the bar. The servers were kind and accommodating for both gluten free and dairy-free options. They had plenty of options that could be made gluten free, but were not very many options that could be made dairy free. We hope this changes in the future.

I thought I’d group the photos this time. The guys are graduates & we get together when I’m in town. You’ll notice how HopCity is transformed during their breakfast buffet. Their pancakes are hand sized ONLY for the buffet but you can order normal sized ones from the menu. Yes I enjoy loads of thick crispy Oregon bacon-similar to English & Italian bacon. See that “cup” of ice cream-it’s 3full scoops of Alpine ice cream, locally made craft ice cream. There’s factory tours of their facility. HopCity has both craft & other types of beers & wines. If you’ve allergies like me, notify the wait staff, the chefs will do a great job of substitution to accommodate you. There’s even a gluten free toaster with a wait staff person reminding visitors not to use it with regular breads. There’s a variety of fruit juices, teas & coffees. I strongly recommend you trying Boyd’s Coffee at HopCity & elsewhere in Oregon. It thick rich non bitter coffee (also available in K-cup in groceries).

Patricia Ferdig

Perfect place to stop in on a break from work. Good breakfast and lunch options. Best snack selection in the area. Lots of vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options. Staff is always nice and food is fresh.

Nina Moore

Elijah Steinbauer

Great quick breakfast on our way to a hike. Mocha and latte we Great and they had gluten free baked options

Gary Standke

Gluten free salads which are prepacked and ready to go. Fairly limited selection of gluten free products, but at least there was something and it was very good.

Amanda Treadwell

I have celiac so I come here for the lattes and the gluten free soup. The miso tomato soup is so good, though I wish they would bring back the ginger carrot soup. It was so delicious! The black sesame maple latte is my fave, but all their drinks are great. The service is always exceptional and the ambience is really calm. It’s a great place to chill and enjoy some yummy coffee and food.

Bryan Wessman

They have gluten-free buns! But they don't mention it on the website. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious.

Charles Wallace

Julie Arnheim

We did enjoy our evening here for the decor and friendly staff but the food was miserably small portions and very expensive. I had pork belly which was more entree size with one cube (1 inch by half an inch) of pure fat and one cube of actual pork belly, sitting in a bland pasta with cream. Bean and kale soup was tasteless. No gluten free options apart from the soup. Meatballs were filling.

K Bahr

Gluten free options! Enjoyed the funk music and smell of chicory coffee. Brought me back to a distant memory of breakfast at Granny’s southern table when I was a kid.
