Top 14 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Croydon

Karen Williams

The cocktails are very nice and it's worth going for happy hour when it's 2 for 1. The pizza topping is really tasty, but we got the gluten free base and it was so thick, not proper Italian pizza base. Not sure if the non gluten free ones are the same, but it was really disappointing. They are also pretty pricey for the size. Over all was nice, I would go again.

Love going to Ponte. The staff are friendly and courteous and always make us feel welcome - whether 2 of us or a big group. They also serve gluten free pasta and pizza which is great. The food is scrummy and its always a great night out here

Only 3 stars… this is why: Pros: - kids friendly (kids menu, kids seats) - drawings/activity sheet whilst waiting for order - friendly staff particularly with kids, asked if we had any food allergy - nice music - kids friendly and reusable plates However many cons: - hygiene issue with self service area for salads (uncooked foo). It’s an health hazard, kids and anybody can serve themselves and it’s opened to any body sneezing into the salad (an unwelcome topping), notwithstanding the serving spoons that used by many hands (some probably not very hygienic) - staff is friendly and welcoming however they missed out an item on our menu and we did eventually get it after noticing this. Customers are left to order via their phone, which in my opinion is very robotic (loosing a bit of personal touch) - food, was ok but kids’ menus are very tiny so not appropriate for bigger kids only found out after ordering via our phone perhaps if they did offer to take order directly via waiting staff they could have told us this, hence 3 for food and service. - deco, needs updating roof decor is literally falling apart (view pictures) -hence 3 for atmosphere. I was glad my kids were not a big fan of the ice cream, again due to hygiene issues. The sauce of the GOAT pizza was a little too sweet (almost felt like eating a sweet dish rather than a savory dish) but was glad to have tried the gluten free base, it was very nice. We still had an enjoyable evening but was a bit disappointed, felt like going to a pizza version of a Macdonald, perhaps my view that Pizza Hut was bit more upmarket compared to Macdonald is actually wrong. You pay premium price for product and services as cheap if not cheaper than in a Macdonald.

Jack was brilliant at explaining the concept of Fern. It's nice to have something different. Sharing food is the key and as I have to have Gluten free,it worked for me. Think my husband would have liked something sweeter for dessert. Will be back at some point.

Lovely and friendly place. Clean and cheerful vibe. A couple of gluten free bits - more would have been great but not a major deal. No pressure to move on. Quite a few people using the place to work from. Will return.

you’re looking for a fun spot to hang out and play some board games, The Ludoquist in Croydon is the place to be! This cozy cafe has over 1,000 board games, so there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart. The vibe is super friendly and laid-back. The staff are awesome and always ready to help you pick a game or explain the rules if you’re stuck. They’ve got everything from classics like Monopoly to cool new games you might not have heard of yet. And it’s not just about the games – the food and drinks are great too! You can munch on stone-baked pizzas, paninis, and they’ve got vegan and gluten-free options too. Plus, their coffee is locally roasted, and they have a nice selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails. All in all, The Ludoquist is a fantastic spot for a fun day or night out. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or just looking for a chill place to hang out, you’ll love it here.

Once again Aqua provided a fantastic evening: The food was amazing and the service was astounding with every course being an absolute dream and the staff so attentive and fun it was like having a meal at a friend's house! I am a coeliac and the staff we very attentive to my requirement having the chef alter options on the menu to suit my requirement (apart from the obvious) and cooking separately to avoid cross contamination risks. I ordered scallops to start that were cooked incredibly well, I could've just eaten the starter on repeat until full and been happy. I followed with the simple steak and chips combo again cooked superbly and finished with a crème brulé. We will request a couple of bottles of Limóncello in advance on our next booking as we finished what they had quite quickly. I wish Aqua continued success and hope to be booking again soon.

I just wanted to say how tremendously impressed we were with the biriyani order. Both dishes (veg and chicken) were absolutely delicious, clearly freshly made, full of flavour and extremely well wrapped and presented so beautifully.There was also important reassurance regarding dishes being reliably gluten free. Thank you ever so much for both your and your colleagues professionalism with this order and its execution. It really made our event so special.

Henry was great at handling my allergy of gluten. Great host and great atmosphere. Great quality for money for the bottomless brunch and handled a large group well.
