Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Madison

I’d heard about this place and that everything was delicious, and that they had sweet potato donuts. OMG were they ever delicious! So I got a couple of sweet potato donuts for our family to share, a ham and Gruyère cheese sandwich for my son and twice baked almond croissant for my husband and son to share. Everything was so delicious…I’m typically gluten free, but had to try the sweet potato donuts because I love anything sweet potato. I took half of one and it was so good that I grabbed the other half as well and had it all to myself! Let me just say, we’ll be back very soon!

Delicious. The cinnamon roll was amazing. While a bit pricey for a standard bakery, the $25+ tip for 3 baked items and a regular coffee felt average priced for a gluten-free bakery. The women behind the counter were friendly; they waved and giggled with my daughter, and we enjoyed a brief chat. The decor is charming and tastefully creative. I'll definitely be back soon!

everything on the menu looks so good so it's hard to pick what to eat, all the food was delicious and it's very gluten friendly. we tried the chicken tikka sandwich which was a beautiful fusion and the blackberry salmon which wasn't too sweet and cooked perfectly

Eddy Nelson

Celiac heaven. Dedicated fryers, knowledgeable staff. Almost all dishes can be made GF. Amazing Venezuelan food!

You will not find a better french fry in the greater madison area Everything I've ever had has been stellar Great gluten free options

Brad Seebeck

Stopped here for dinner with the family after flying into Madison. Menu was great, service was friendly, and the food was delicious! They didn't mind our 3 young children being a little squirmy after sitting on a plane all afternoon. Had great Gluten Free and Vegan options on the menu. What a great place! Highly recommend!

Luis Gavaldon

First time here, and I was very satisfied with the El Papí sampler and the Lomo Saltado a Caballo (center)paired excellently with a glass of Malbec. My fellow lunch party also enjoyed their meals. They had the Parrilla Callejera (left) and La Taguara Burger (right). They have plenty of gluten-free options as well. Will return again.

Jennifer King

I didn't capture pics of the food. I ate here two days in a row. First day I had the turkey n bacon sandwich on gluten free bread with cabbage slaw side. Today I has the pumpkin cinnamon roll gluten free pancakes 🥞!! Let me tell you! Best gluten free pancakes I have ever had. Moist, hot, delicious!!! Highly recommend.

Ana Salcido

This place is awesome! Everyone needs to visit Paleo Mama whether you are gluten-free or not. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious. So many yummy desserts options.

Andrew VanDerKolk

amazing food! lovely atmosphere - upbeat and wowing decor. an amazing array of beers wines and bloody mary’s as well. if you come, start with the traditional frites (fries) and blackened garlic ranch aioli sauce - fantastic! plus for anyone that is gluten free or celiac they have a dedicated gluten free menu - woo hoo!

The gluten-free breakfast burritos basically got me through COVID. Delicious potatoes, eggs, cheese, bacon. They are best enjoyed on the shores of Lake Mendota with the accompanying salsa.

W Hill

Not safe for celiac! Cc is extremely high!

Jolene Dombrowski

Beautiful morning on the patio!! I love that there are gluten free pancakes! Delicious 😋 Venera was wonderful!

Oli

Good food and friendly staff. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten sensitive opinions. Tacos and stuffed burrito are great, not the enchiladas.

Alex Dior

Gluten friendly pancakes were a 10/10. I tried the blueberry sauce and maple syrup on them (not together). Both were equally delicious. Ordered hash browns and eggs. Hash browns were enough for the family.

Cassidy Meyer

Nice place. Got our coffee and food pretty fast! They have great gluten free options too.

Ryan Lindley

My wife and I spent our 5 year anniversary meal here and the food and service were outstanding. They provided free champagne for our anniversary! I have a gluten sensitivity and they had a GF menu ready for me so I didn't have to ask. Their menu perfectly describes what is GF and what is gluten sensitive friendly. The service was superb and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

Andrea Holderman

This Jason's Deli is always clean and well-maintained. Staff is prompt and always friendly. One of my kids has Celiac Disease and Jason's Deli is one of the few places in Madison that we can trust for him not to get gluten contamination because they take gluten free seriously. Drive-thru and online ordering is great, too! We love it!

Stacy Peña

I am asymptomatic celiac. They have several different menus (older versions?), and by luck I received the only one at the table that had gluten free markings on it. There are a decent amount of choices, but none of the pastas are marked. Apparently, sometimes they do not have the GF penne, but tonight they did. The waitress did not know a lot of answers, but she was happy to run back and ask. Several times. Heh. The meatballs and Alfredo sauce are not GF, but the marinara is. All pizzas can be made GF, and all of the dishes with meat as the main dish can be made GF (beef, chicken, 2 fish options). I got marinara with chicken, and GF penne pasta, the side salad (without croutons) with the Italian garlic vinaigrette. That vinaigrette is absolutely delicious! The marinara was decent, but I've had better. It's a meal that I can eat, and got that, I'm grateful!

Ashley Wendt

Incredible food & so awesome to have gluten sensitive options too! Great service & friendly staff!

Audra

Enjoyed my lunch so much! Brussel sprout salad is so good. Also their coffee and gluten free peanut butter cookie is to die for ⭐️

melissawilcox1

Went to get a gluten-free sandwich and was impressed by the variety of drinks and sides. I had a very generously portioned Rachel. The coleslaw was delicious. I would go back.

Melissa Stern

My favorite coffee shop in Madison! I have a severe gluten allergy and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable, and made me a breakfast sandwich with a gluten free bagel in the oven instead of the panini press to avoid cross contamination. The coffee is incredible and if you can manage to get a table, the environment is awesome.

Amy Fewel

Fantastic place for smoothies! Appreciate being able to eat there as I’m vegan, gluten free and soy free. Delicious!!

Rachel G

Samba is fantastic. All of the meat was sooo good and the salad bar was also fantastic. They label everything on the salad bar with tags saying what it is and a gf for gluten free which is wonderful!! They also label df for dairy free I believe too. We got a bottle of wine while waiting for our table and the bartender carried ot upstairs for us when we were seated which was great. The grilled Pineapple is a MUST! The service was great, as soon as we flipped our thing to green people were there quickly with meat.

Kim Smith

Excellent food and service. They were very helpful with allergies and celiac. Definitly reccomend!

Mandy Christman

Great food with gluten free options. Incredible farm to table burgers, locally sourced. Fabulous drink selection. The patio is lovely! The parking is difficult so give yourself a bit more time.

Purely Kleen

Great allergy options! Very impressive for this Gluten and Fod Map free gal! Would really like to see a menu in Spanish, at least online. I have a hard time finding the menus at this place. I think they could place them somewhere more obvious. Sometimes service is rock star, other times it is a 4 star. Parking is a real issue for when I try to visit. I think I would go more if I could figure that out.

lindsey wilson

Love the fruity pebbles latte, although it might be seasonal or they may have discontinued it. They have gluten free options! Fun atmosphere.

Love this coffee shop in Madison on the Square. Our Go-to when we visit our Badger because of the gluten free cornbread...we order with bacon egg cheese and it's DELICIOUS. I recommend to all my gf peeps/groups. Used to be 2 slices of bread, but I think just the one slice is actually easier to eat. Bravo Wonderstate!

Amy Godecker

Happy our experience at Merchant was as wonderful as usual. We had friends from out of town visiting and wanted to show off Madison's food scene. Cocktails were top notch as was the wine I chose with my meal. I ordered the squash risotto which was excellent, even better than expected. Our table of 8 enjoyed the cheese curds and everyone loved their entrees, including the whitefish, chorizo verde and fried chicken sandwich. The desserts were delicious and our gluten and dairy intolerant guest was thrilled with the chocolate brownie dessert, as was the rest of the table. A great success all around.

Chris Shook

Great gluten free pancakes and other options.

Tammy

Not the Weary I knew and loved anymore. I took my son out for dinner and I went home hungry. We both ordered the bad breath Burger, My son ordered his medium rare and I ordered mine well done with a gluten-free bun. We waited an hour for our food and when it arrived My son’s Burger was cooked well done and mine came with a regular bun instead of gluten-free, my son decided to eat the burger as is, they took my burger back to remake it and put it on a gluten-free Bun. When I got my burger, it was rare not well done like I ordered. It also only had a very thin slice of cream cheese, not the quarter inch slice that it used to have. Definitely not the Bob’s bad breath Burger I remember And loved. At this point, we had been there for an hour and a half and my son had another engagement to go to so we needed to leave. They offered To make my burger again Or give me a refund, I took the refund. The greens were also wilted and didn’t have dressing on them. I Will not be back, this makes me sad but the new Management just isn’t measuring up.

Maria Galles

I ate here last night and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff was super friendly and did an amazing job accommodating my gluten intolerance and recommending gluten-free menu options

Jim & Corinne Kraayeveld

Loved my coffee and breakfast. Ordered the hash without toast due to gluten free restrictions. The breakfast came out with the toast touching the food. If that hadn’t happened, would definitely have given it a 5 star.

Courtney Vanorio

Great place for gluten free vegan burgers downtown! I have celiac disease and feel safe eating here. The staff are knowledgeable and are happy to answer questions.

Lillian Perry

Went on a Friday night was busy but service was excellent. I loved my fish dinner was out of this world. Our party had a gluten free salad, rueban sandwich and grilled shrimp everyone was very happy with their selection. Our server really anticipated our needs answered all our questions

Connie

Very bland food with no taste.I have a gluten allergy and asked for the bread to be on a separate plate so someone else at my table can eat it. They still put it on my plate.

Scott Tillema

Great service makes great food experience. Accommodating to both gluten and dairy allergies

Bailey Wheelock

Love coming down from drinks, and the food is always amazing! Very accommodating for vegetarian and gluten free folks. Jordan is a great bartender!!

Brittany Mahoney

Kim Hinz

Wonderful vegan/gluten free food.

Jackie Kirby

Husband and I were in the area for a few days and saw this place while driving by and were intrigued right away. There's not a lot of healthy options where we live so we wanted to stop and try. Granola is all gluten free and the bowls are amazing! First day we got blueberry pie bowl and the pb and j as a bowl, next day the sherbet bowl and husband got pb and j again. So fresh tasting and the owner is really nice!

Tammy

Love their coffee and over the moon for their gluten free cookies! Thank you for offering GS items

Karen N

Lovely service, staff were supportive with cross contamination and I felt confident and safe eating toast and breakfast choices. Thank you to the staff for helping me with all my questions. Zebra coffee was delicious and so was the avo toast!

Kandace Keuler

Disappointed in gluten free options.

Michelle Wolf

This is a great place to grab a coffee to go or stay to enjoy the coffee shop atmosphere. The staff was well-versed in all things coffee. I purchased a lovely whole bean Ethiopia for my home machine. There are gluten free options marked on the menu. I did not see anything really keto specific, but as helpful as staff was, I expect they could come up with something.

R Hodg

They take gluten free seriously. Will clean prep area for making egg sandwiches on gfree bread. As a celiac I wouldn't eat the gfree waffles though because they use the same waffle maker for regular waffles - which they made sure to point out. They have individually wrapped bakery items along with other gfree options.
