Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in South Scottsdale, Scottsdale

Judy Sarnocinski

We do not live in this area but were in the area and in need of a good breakfast that served Gluten Free foods. We had the best skillet meal that included gluten free pancakes that were absolutely wonderful! The biggest surprise was there was no extra charge for the gluten free pancakes or the extra plate. (My husband and I shared the skillet.) We just wish we lived closer so we could enjoy the food at Butters more often.

YES, gluten free delicious!!! Don't skip the loaded peach lemonade. Just don't forget to ask for gluten free if you need it.

graciela montes

It’s a great place with all types of food such as protein based, vegan, gluten free and even drinks! Fantastic place.

Christopher Parrett

They had an incredibly delicious gluten free menu for meals and dessert!

kathleen Bandola

LOVED IT! Most items were gluten-free and EVERYTHING was delicious!

Julianna Wallace

I’ve come here a handful times as a local student. I absolutely love it and always jump at the opportunity of sharing it with my friends or family when in town. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is so warm and efficient! My best friend has celiac and the couple of times we’ve gone together, they’ve provided really special care for her safety. The location itself has the perfect brunch atmosphere that’s tucked away and the local/ small-town lunch atmosphere that’s near Old Town Scottsdale.

IMO the best thing on their menu is the bruschetta board and I was so excited when I found out that they have a gluten free bread substitute for it. I’m not sure what kind of gf bread they use but it’s incredible, it actually sticks together and doesn’t crumble apart! It’s so good that my non-gf friends will split an order with me cause they say they can’t really taste a difference.

This place is really cute! They have a gift shop in the lobby, with some eclectic items. The people are super-friendly; and the southern recipes are well prepared. I was, however, kind of disappointed with what I chose, which was the biscuits and gravy. I felt sick to my stomach, afterwards, for hours after, average biscuits were more like the consistency of a pre-packaged, British-style crumpet/scone consistency, plus the gravy tasted really processed with no flavor, OTHER than poor-grade , bulk seasoning mix. My roommate’s selection, though (which she let me try) was good, though, which was a scramble which had spinach, feta cheese and tasted really fresh, and didn’t disappoint in freshness and flavor. If I go back in the future. I’ll be ordering it for brunch! I also got a desert to go from the counter, which was a chocolate peanut butter ganache cupcake that was out of this world! They source their baked goods from small, local vendors in the area, and have many gluten free and vegan options!

We had a wonderful experience at Olive and Ivy! Chris - our waiter, created a fun, engaging and lovely experience as we sat and spent time together as a family. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and every recommendation he made was spot on! He truly made the afternoon a delight! The food was delicious and fresh as well as allergen friendly. We had the crème brûlée - as a gluten free dessert and it was the most unique crème brûlée I’ve ever had!

Allison Payne

Chef Sandra and her team went above & beyond catering for my husband’s 40th event. We had guests that were celiac and they were so accommodating in being food safe to ensure no contamination. There were so many amazing GF menu options. The food arrived hot and was cooked perfectly. Not only did they provide amazing quality food but their service and friendliness was 10/10. I highly recommend this restaurant and will absolutely be eating here again!

Emily Kehner

Happy to find a spot with a few vegan options for breakfast. We enjoyed the crispy polenta tacos, tempeh breakfast bowl, and a modified avocado toast (subbed sourdough for the egg bread, subbed tempeh for the bacon/egg, and added sliced tomato) A few vegan side options as well, like the crispy polenta, breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, beans and rice. Not the *most delicious* food we’ve ever had but we were so glad to go somewhere with real vegan options and something for the whole family (including kids, gluten free, and vegans)

Edited 8.14: Apparently the dining experience here is entirely dependent on wait staff. Unfortunately after many positive experiences, this evening was an abysmal disaster. Our appetizer was sent to the table wrong, they scraped off the ingediedients that were to be left off and delivered it as though it were fresh. Numerous remnants of the old ingredients remained. Our meals, at 4pm, in a nearly empty restaurant, took an hour and were prepared differently than ordered, in style, ingredients and temperature. The on duty manager was less than sympathetic at both issues and we were made to feel as though this were our problem. We'll need to find a new favorite spot. We're repeat diners at this upscale neighborhood kitchen and bar. We usually order the filet mignon and salmon, which are reliably cooked to perfection. The meatloaf and tavern salad are also favorites. Vegetables are always fresh. Godiva chocolate torte is decadent. For those who need gluten free there are plenty of options. The outdoor patio at the bar is a best bet if you can't secure the reservation you need. Friendly staff. Love this place.

julia jones

Great experience. The restaurant is under construction but it didn’t detract from the experience. Both the managers Eddie and Rachel were fabulous and visited with us. Laura, our waitress kept the sides coming for my gluten free husband. We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary lunch!

Deanna Robbins

Love the morning buzz! Super yummy! I did get a gluten free breakfast wrap but the wrap was a bit dry. Still good flavor! Whenever I am in PHX it’s a go to for me.

Jennifer Fullenweider

Fabulous menu and alternatives for gluten free. They can make sandwiches on gluten free bread. Brisket sandwich with chopped salad was so delicious. Others in our party had chicken salad sandwich. Shoestring French fries were delicious. Our server was great. Highly recommend. Plan to go again!

T. Ray

We love Blanco. Best queso we've had and they have lots of gluten free options. The short ribs in anything is a winner.

I have celiac. We discussed the issue extensively with the server who assured me I was in a good spot and all would be fine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. They messed up the order and brought out a wonton taco plated with the corn taco and the server advised the entire plate was gluten free. Only after eating the wonton did I discover the issue. The server apologized and contacted a manager. That’s where things took a bad turn. The manager, a very young blonde female, who clearly couldn’t be bothered with severe food allergies, came out, referred to the situation as a “small issue”, proceeded to blame me, and then offered three separate excuses for why this happened. Setting aside that each excuse was unsatisfactory, it was abundantly clear neither she, or the restaurant, took food allergies seriously. My valentines date/dinner was entirely ruined, not to mention a very expensive trip to Arizona, for which I am only on day 1 and will inevitably spend the rest of the trip in the hotel bathroom. Despite being celiac, I’m a foodie and eat in some of the best restaurants across the country. This may be some of the worst service, and particularly management, I’ve ever seen.

This place was so good we ordered from here 4 times while on vacation. Incredibly grateful they had amazing gluten free options. I think Naperville, IL would be a great spot to open a location… ;)

Michele Phillips

Love this place. So many options including, gluten free and keto. Service is top notch. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Coffee is delicious. They also sell t-shirts and craft items. Definitely recommend

Arthur Aguilar

Will come again!! Kimberly was amazing with all the help she gave us! Gluten free options, not many places like this! Anytime of the day, this is the right choice if you want good food with good people!

John Halpern

I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

Kara Cavanaugh

They have gluten free options! I got french toast (and didn't get cross contaminated) and sampled the coffee flight. It was all delicious and we were in and out quickly.

Rachel Stephens

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods. After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one. We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.) Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens. She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill. Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.

Finding good gluten-free food is the struggle of a lifetime and Crust Simply took all the work out of it. You could could get any of the pizzas and any of the pasta options in gluten free. I did the Chicken Marsala and you honestly couldn't even tell it was GF, it was so good. I loved the ambiance of the patio seating, our server was a ball of delightful, positive energy, and we just really enjoyed the whole vibe.

Steven Briggs

Went here on Christmas Eve for dinner and had a great meal. We had the pollo street tacos and the kale salad with salmon. I was impressed by the level of attention the staff gave to my dining partner’s gluten sensitivity as they made a special version of salsa that was gluten free as their regular salsa has soy sauce. They also brought grilled tortillas for her to enjoy the guacamole as their regular salsa tortilla chips could be exposed to gluten in the fryer. We had a minor issue with how the salmon was prepared and the executive chef took over to remake it himself. I would definitely return for another meal on my next visit. There were a few items I wanted to try that I was just too full to add to the table.

Julia Dickseski

Delicious gluten and dairy-free options. Really enjoyed the coconut chicken! Shoutout to Freddy for wonderful service

Kailynn Glenn

Our department recently hosted a staff retreat lunch at Fate Brewing Company in Scottsdale, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish! Coordinating for a group of 20+ people can be challenging, but the staff handled everything seamlessly. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that everyone in our group felt taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded expectations, especially given our variety of dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian). It’s not always easy to accommodate such diverse preferences, but Fate Brewing did it with ease and flair. The mocktails were another highlight—they were creative, refreshing, and a perfect complement to the meal. Our team left feeling satisfied, impressed, and grateful for such a great experience. Thank you, Fate Brewing Company, for making our lunch a memorable part of our retreat! Highly recommend this place for group events or just a great meal.

Bill Hourigan

Went with a group (8 total) of friends who had recommended this place for breakfast and WOWZA! Everyone at the table LOVED the food (and drinks) they ordered and we ALL have different tastes. Very accommodating, staff was amazing. It was soul-crushing that I could not finish everything. Would go back in a heartbeat! Try the ricotta gluten free pancakes…life changing.

Aaron Finigan

Very welcoming dog friendly patio. Plenty of gluten free options. Food was delicious.

I had the day off and decided to meet up with some friends for brunch with my little one! This restaurant is located in the back of the mall, near Nobu and Francine. They have such a nice patio area, which would be great for the cooler months. Inside, there were plenty of seating options. They gave our table a high chair and took our order. We had really great service for our meal and she was very attentive. I ordered the crispy eggs with prosciutto, which came with bread and a bed of arugula. This was really good, and I feel like a pretty good value for prosciutto ($18.) I also ordered their gluten-free blueberry banana bread for my son. It was nice that the bread was not overly sweet, as most banana breads can be. This was a nice location for our little catch-up, and we would love to come again to enjoy their outdoor seating.

I’ve come here a few times now. I’ve been for dates, happy hour with coworkers, and lunch with my sister. Every single time has been amazing. I highly recommend coming at night if you want the romantic vibe. I’ve always had a good experience and enjoyed the food. Today the experience deserved an extra shoutout though. My sister has celiac so trying new places is always stressful for her. One simple oversight can send her to the ER. But Oscar was absolutely amazing. He answered all of our questions, reviewed the restaurants policies/procedures, and kept checking on our order in the kitchen to make sure that all of her items were made separate with new gloves and cooking utensils. Thank you for making her feel safe during her meal! For our other celiacs: the mussels are gluten free as long as you don’t get the side of bread, she highly recommends!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moxie’s restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the sophisticated décor and the expansive, open layout. The space is thoughtfully designed with cozy booths lining the exterior and high-top tables filling the central area, creating an atmosphere that’s both inviting and chic. The menu at Moxie’s is a culinary feast for both the eyes and the palate. Every dish is artfully presented, and the flavors are nothing short of exceptional. I had the opportunity to try two outstanding items: • FARMERS HASH: This hearty dish combines pancetta bacon, jalapeño pork sausage, roasted vegetables, and pickled onions, all topped with perfectly poached eggs, home fries, and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce. The medley of flavors and textures made every bite delightful. • TUNA SUSHI STACK: A visually stunning dish featuring sushi-grade tuna stacked with seasoned rice, avocado, mango, and complemented by a soy ginger glaze and spicy mayo. Served alongside seasoned prawn crackers, it was a refreshing and flavorful treat. The service was equally impressive. Our server was not only attentive and knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and helpful, enhancing our overall dining experience. The staff’s professionalism and warmth made us feel well-cared-for throughout our meal. Overall, Moxie’s hit it out of the park in all areas. From the elegant ambiance to the exquisite cuisine and excellent service, it’s a restaurant that delivers on all fronts. Additional Information: • Ambiance: Perfect for both casual lunches and special occasions, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. • Location: Conveniently situated in Scottsdale with ample parking options nearby. • Reservations: Recommended during peak hours to ensure a seamless dining experience. • Menu Variety: Offers a diverse selection catering to various tastes, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you’re in Scottsdale and looking for a memorable dining experience, Moxie’s is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

Great time with a work group. Plus they had good gluten free options (I'm a celiac and need these options).

Melody S

Such a neighborhood gem! Bob was a great waiter. Food was incredible! Gluten free options available, so refreshing!

Outstanding pizza, service and Dr. Pepper. Fair price. The perfect hole in the wall spot for pizza. Looking forward to coming again. Best gluten free crust around!

Kamileah K

Beautiful outdoor area with plenty of seating. wonderful options for gluten free and vegan foods and ample amount of beverages. Pictured is the 4222 Bowl, which was very refreshing.

Giselle M. Aguiar

I was there for the Local First AZ lunch and was happy to see a gluten-free menu. Being gluten-free, I'm usually stuck with salads but I was able to enjoy the turkey club sandwich! I'll be back!

Cole Hutchens

I had the gluten free pizza with vegan cheese and it was great! Best gluten free crust I have ever had! Happy this place is in my neighborhood.

Marlyn Fuller

Love 1st watch 😆 being gluten I can safely enjoy my food. They were empty, surprisingly because back home it's super busy ... Either way try their ice coffee! It's delicious 🤤

Danielle H.

The table-side guac, tacos, and unique cocktails always have me coming back. I should also mention that I have a gluten intolerance, and I have never had an issue here. Moreover, Marco at the back bar will make you feel welcomed, well taken care of, and have you laughing within seconds.

Jessica Cons

Aesthetic, cute spot and good food. I was impressed with the quality food and cocktails, I liked the ambiance and music. It was pretty chill on a Sunday afternoon. Will definitely return. Plus they have gluten free options on the menu which is what I have to eat so it’s nice that they are marked as such on the menu.

Jim Leahy

Chose this because it came up under ‘gluten free’, yet really not many options on the menu.

Elena Grant

Great meal on Wednesday evening and yummy margaritas! Good service too. I had the salmon served on a bed of chopped Brussels sprouts with bacon. Staff was knowledgeable on handling a gluten allergy as well. No issues and food was delicious. So sad I forgot to take a picture.

Krystal Pocs

The food is good but $21 for a gluten free blt bagel with a side of fruit is too much.

Heather Beauchamp

We always get Mary when we come. The first time, this location was short staffed and we didn’t have the highest hopes for the experience, but Mary was amazing even while she was overwhelmed. Today was no different, Mary was spot on and recommended a way better way to do my meal that had dairy and gluten restrictions. Super happy with the food and the service!!

George Kontos

Our meals were tasty and they did an excellent job accommodating our party's various dietary needs including dairy-free and gluten-free.

Pretty good. Not a lot of vegetarian options, but a couple. The avacado taco is pretty good. Didn't see anything for gluten free menu. Service is pretty good every time I've been. If you sit in the wrong spot inside then you're going to have to shout like it's a night club to talk to each other.
