Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Japan

Vishal Joshipura

Best gluten free restaurant I’ve ever been to in my life hands down. Better than any place in NYC, Chicago or San Francisco without a doubt. Everything tasted great and the staff was very accommodating of our dietary needs.

¥1,980- Heavenly vegan pancakes♡ Gluten-free pancakes! Fluffy and moist. Enjoy it with seasonal fruits, whipped soy milk, and homemade vanilla ice cream. The soy milk cream was more delicious than I expected. 100% vegan🌱 is amazing!

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

If you have oat sensitivity (Australian coeliacs) oats are used here. Was unable to eat!

Lara Acucella

Great gluten-free ramen and vegan and gluten-free gyoza. They saved my dinner, and it was a great rescue 😋😋😋 They don't guarantee contamination since they don't have separate kitchens, but they proved to be attentive and prepared. I highly recommend it 😊

Delicious gluten-free pancakes! They arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor — definitely one of the better gluten-free options we’ve had. The texture was soft and fluffy, not dry or crumbly like many gluten-free versions. Service was quick, and everything came out fast and warm. It is quite expensive for what you get, but if you’re looking for a tasty gluten-free treat, it’s definitely worth trying at least once.

I had a delicious gluten-free ramen. The broth was perhaps a little lacking in flavor for my taste, but I still liked it. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy a gluten-free option at Tokyo Station.

Vero .Ibril

Excellent place for people with celiac disease! Everything is gluten-free and delicious. We tried the pepperoni pizza, a baguette, a bacon braid, and a kind of vegan curry-filled bun. It's a small takeout place, although there are a couple of benches outside where you can eat. The guy is very friendly and speaks perfect English. 100% recommended, but we recommend getting there early because they're so fast.

They did not notify us that the “gluten free” tempura was cooked in the same fryer so unfortunately I ate some, and I’m celiac 🤦🏼‍♀️ kinda ruined my night and left me wondering if everything else was as safe as they claimed

Anne Namuth

The whole place is gluten free. Between 3 and 5 pm they only serve dessert and drinks. The parfait is phenomenal.

Went there today for a quick lunch and got a hummus sandwich for takeaway. I will tell you it was so so good! There's fresh veggies inside and the bread is phenomenal. I wish I could have this every day 😊 the staff are incredibly sweet so I felt like I was at home. If you're vegan and gluten free this is a great option !

Teresa Cullen

i really enjoyed the meal i had here. was looking for a gluten free egg sandwich while in japan, and i found it here! incredibly delicious sandwiches and gluten free baked goods. great vegetarian options too. i had a delicious gluten free blueberry tart after my meal that i'm still thinking about. they also sell rice flour bread mix, so i can't wait to try making it when i'm back home. i loved this place and would love to visit again.

We had been travelling in Japan for Several days, and the members of our party with coeliac was looking for a change. Tucked away on Miyajima, this small cafe is dedicated gluten free. The fried chicken was wonderful, and the curries smelled great. And then there were the donuts… It was just delightful to find such flavors one GF food, almost by accident.

Laurène Thébault de Marsilly

It was so good. gluten free pasta and matcha cheesecake, very tasty, and rice bread.

ttt Lala

Fantastic food and sake!

Dana

My friend is gluten-free, therefore she was really happy with the wide selection. I tried the sesame ramen, but it was really bland, and the little bit of soy meat tasted like nothing

Mouyan Curry is located in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. It's great to be able to eat gluten-free curry. I ordered the three-meat curry (beef tendon, pork, and dry). The two potatoes, fukujinzuke pickles, smoked pickled radish, and onion and rakkyo are all self-service and I was full.

Emily Hunt

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

I visited L for You AOYAMA, a gluten-free cafe for intestinal health in Omotesando. I've been eating and drinking a lot these past few days, so I came here to give my stomach a rest (^^)... I had burdock and mushroom intestinal health soy milk soup, a plate of brown rice and vegetables, and pomegranate green tea. I'm so happy it's gentle on my stomach...no guilt... It also came with a small banana bound cake, so I was very satisfied! Thank you for the meal (^_^)!

asako N

It's a restaurant that specializes in vegan and gluten-free food, and it doesn't use rice flour, so it was very helpful. The stylish atmosphere was also nice. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced, so it was a good experience.

Cobie SMith

Beautiful food!! We will definitely be back during our time here 😁

Zach Dorsett

Delicious gluten free churros!

Saved our trip! My son is gluten free, and Japan (largely) is not. It was very hard to find food for him, and other gluten free shops either weren’t really gluten free, or just tasted bad, had very small menus, or were closed when they said they were open. But Biossa had exactly what we needed. Good, fresh, delicious gluten free bread, muffins, baguettes, and croissants! That way we could pack and carry the breads around Tokyo, so my son could eat almost anywhere (by swapping out the provided breads with these gluten free ones). Game-changing. Thanks Biossa!

Markus Kankare

The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire menu was safe for gluten-free diets, which made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful, making the whole experience even better. We truly loved everything about this place, from the atmosphere to the service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for safe and tasty gluten-free food in Japan! ☺️

Carlotta Stendardo

Really very good pizza: the tomato has an incredible taste! They have gluten free options so a plus

松本愛

It's great that they have gluten-free dishes. It's great for girls. And it's good that they have coffee cafe latte. It's delicious. The staff are very kind. It was a nice shop. Maybe it's because the door is open? I was worried about small flies and mosquitoes. I might need to be more careful in the coming season.

Carlo Galbiati

Typical Osaka dishes vegan and gluten free. All excellent

Anne Namuth

The pizza is not gluten free … but there are several GF choices. I had the shrimp risotto — really good.

Jonathan Smith

We were visiting Sapporo from New Zealand and found this GF Cafe online. We had the most wonderful breakfast and actually returned for lunch on the same day. The husband and wife who own and operate the Cafe are wonderful and amazing people. Be sure to visit even if you aren't Gluten Free .. the food is good. We look forward to seeing you again when we return to Sapporo in August or September next year (2026)

Bettina CH

Very delicious food. Since the portions were rather small, we ordered again. We thought it was good value for money. Gluten-free dishes were clearly marked on the menu, and there was a large selection, including cakes!

Sebastien “Seb”

Beautiful little cafe. The waitresses are adorable. The banana break and waffles are to die for, delicious, and all gluten-free. I highly recommend it.

Nakata中田

One of the best gluten free cafes in Osaka ! Anyone can enjoy !! Everything was delicious. I personally am not gluten free nor vegan but would absolutely come back for more !

Isabel Kendall

This is some of the best gluten free food I have ever had in my 10 years of being gluten free!! Such kind service, delicious pastries, the karaage is life changing, I could go on and on. The turnip cakes are so delightful as well. The vegan delight and the oriental vegan plate are filling, hearty, and nourishing above all. Also, the handmade sodas are so tasty, such a nice addition to the meal. Please eat here!!! You will not regret it. I came here 3 times in my 4 days in Nara, and I’m sad it was only 3 times. I wish I knew the names of the people who run this place, they are so kind and make stellar food. I’m so enthusiastic about this place, what a highlight of my trip!! I will be back someday <3

Best falafels in town! Also has great gluten free muffins!

J G

Showed coeliac card and was assured it would be fine but later found out they were unable to accomodate due to cross contamination.

Lucas K

The açaí bowl was very good; however, we found the service disinterested and the atmosphere lacking. If you’re in the area and need a gluten-free bite, it’s worth a stop, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit this location.

Anna Mazzi

There's a very interesting story about me and this restaurant. I moved here almost one year ago, and as a gluten sensitive person, I was trying to find places, restaurants and cafes, that had GF options. Of course Soranoiro was one of the first reccomended restaurants, but because it's located in Hanzomon, an area where basically only salaryman gather, I never really had any reason to go, and I kept postponing, again and again, until I forgot. Flash forward to May, nine months later I'm working in Hanzomon, only for a short while, and I'm trying to find a restaurant who has at least one rice based meal option. Suddenly I notice that Soranoiro is just one minute away from my workplace! Life is really unexpected right? I wonder what is karma trying to tell me ahaha Anyway, the vegetarian ramen was great, and it's really easy to customise each order with gluten free noodles, I personally really reccomend Soranoiro to everyone, people that enjoy ramen and people that want to try new flavours such as vegetables ramen. The overall vibe is pretty chill too, and I really liked their background music. Just note it down that the only accept cashless payments~

All of the carefully prepared dishes were delicious! The gluten-free pasta was well-flavored, the dashi soy sauce had a mild taste, and the salmon pasta had a nice yuzu flavor. The soy milk amazake soft serve ice cream was mellow and not at all heavy, and went really well with the strong espresso.

Nicole i

This was an unexpected delight! After days of having to be very careful they helped me have a gluten, soy, dairy, and pineapple free lunch. It was fresh and fantastic! The owner and her mother treated us like they were cooking for family. Loved our time here and will be back.

Zach Dorsett

Great tacos, with plenty of gluten free options. Just avoid the fried options if you have concerns with cross-contamination. Carne asada was especially good.

Daniela Castillo Zavala

the place was so good! as a celiac is hard for me to find food without gluten in japan, but here everything was awesome and delicious! i will be back for sure!

Luzie Schrauf

Very tasty, nice location, gluten-free and vegetarian options

Séverine

We had a delicious gluten free galette. The gluten free muffins are very tasty as well. The owner is kind and the restaurant is small and nice. We highly recommend!

Ilene Tucker

Great little tempura bar. We went all in with no regrets. Small salad to start, cucumber salad next (delicious sesame oil and sesame seeds), multiple types of seafood and vegetable tempura, cold noodles, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with honey. The experience was great. Sitting at the bar, the owner/chef cooked a few pieces of tempura at a time so each piece was fresh and delicious, versus a whole plate that sits and get soggy (a typical tempura meal). The tempura was light and flakey, the vegetables fresh and the seafood just melted in your mouth (shrimp, squid, whitefish, scallop!, conger eel). Best part… all gluten free with much care for my dietary needs, but you’d have never known this was gluten free, it was that good (says the hubby who can eat gluten!)

Filippo Montalti

Excellent burgers and very interesting desserts, they also have gluten-free sandwiches so they can satisfy even those who need gluten-free. Service as always friendly, water included, prices slightly higher than average but worth it.

A restaurant where you can eat delicious vegan food. I came here with my child who doesn't like meat. I ordered a lunch course, but the number of appetizers was Children can taste many different kinds. I was very happy! It’s hard to believe that the pasta noodles are gluten-free. It was delicious, so I visited the manufacturer and was shown the product, and it turned out to be organic gluten-free pasta. I don't think it was written as organic on the menu, so it may change again, but I felt that they were particular about it, even though it was probably quite expensive compared to similar products. It's vegan, gluten-free, healthy, and reasonably priced, so it's become my favorite restaurant. The staff at the hall were very attentive. This is a recommended point! I will visit you again, thank you very much.

Melissa

Delicious fluffy gluten free pancakes (suitable for celiac). I recommend the one with red bean paste and matcha ice cream! You won’t regret it!

Melissa Deroche

Loved this little eatery. A local friend took us there and it was delicious. Good for vegan, veg, gluten free.

カフェオレおじさん

I visited Pancakes & Books Bibliotheque in Namba Parks. There are many stylish pancakes, all of which can be made gluten-free (¥500). The pancakes are delicious even when gluten-free, so I recommend them to those who are concerned about gluten. The prices seem a little higher than the average, but I guess that's understandable. If you order a drink separately, you can drink as much as you want for 90 minutes. Next time I'd like to come and read a book.

近藤良夫

It was delicious. The gluten-free set meal was a fairly luxurious one at a flat rate of ¥2,970 (tax included). We stayed there for exactly two hours, but the staff all gathered around each other and looked at us as if they wanted us to leave quickly.
