Top 28 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Lake View East, Chicago

Emmy Johnson

Not the best experience. Our waitress gave us indifferent answers about how the gluten free food is prepared. We ended up having to talk to the manager (which is something I hate asking for). The food ended up being okay and I didn’t have any reaction. It was nice to have gluten free mac and cheese! I think our experience would’ve been much better if we had a more educated waitress

Arepas are gluten free and delicious

Jodi Meyer

The pulled pork nachos are gigantic! Definitely share them with friends. The Wrigley salad is like the team- don't underestimate. It's great! Try the Lance pizza. Gluten-free was delightful. Sarah answered all my questions about food sensitivities and helped make sure my experience was top notch. We will be coming back.

Lior Seidel

Really great crepes, all available gluten-free

Jessica Lanty

Laura Fittz

The best dinner i’ve eaten in Chicago. Gundis’s food, atmosphere, and service are second to none. Before dinner, my friend and I were feeling stressed and looking for a nice dinner. Upon entering Gundis, I instantly felt my shoulders relaxing. The chairs we sat in were so comfortable (!), the menu super clearly labeled (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan), and our dinner (newroz pasta & salad with chicken) was delicious. highly recommend the Kurdish tea and Turkish coffee, too! Can’t wait to come back!

Aubrey Granderson

A delightful breakfast place with many options, including gluten free pancakes.

Kalina Neskoska

So many vegan options!! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Their smoothies are AH-mazing and their dinner portions are a great size (leaves you leftovers). I don't know how they make their soy gluten but it's out of this world. Highly recommend for vegans and vegetarians!

Jodi B

Super cute vegan spot with gluten-free options. Delicious options and lovely interior.

Brandi Madar

The atmosphere of this place is 10/10! I loved the tiki bar / sushi vibes. It was cozy and inviting. They have a huge gluten free selection for food. The drink menu was great too. Everything was very aesthetically pleasing and tasty.

Great place for my lunch break. The lunch specials are so so good, really well priced & fast. Love the soup too, and it's ready so quickly. (For gluten free they will give you rice or tortilla for the bread, and they have a lot of other gf options on the menu..)

My family and I came here on our way to the Cubs game. Bluebird did not disappoint! It was hands down the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The keto/gluten free chicken is quite tasty. The fries are phenomenal!! We continued to talk about how good the food was hours later! The portion sizes were excellent. The ambiance in the restaurant is welcoming and pleasant. The staff appear to take much pride in the food and are quite friendly. We will definitely be back and will tell others of our great experience!!!

Yair Gittler

Great option for a gluten free person. I was craving so bad a good grilled cheese for long and this one didn’t disappoint at all 😁

Meghan

A nice place to have breakfast. The waiter was friendly and welcoming. The place did seem understaffed. There was only one waiter who was helping multiple people inside and out as well as seating them. However he was very good at getting orders in and getting food out to you. I hope he gets some extra help in the future. The food was great. They have gluten free bread and pancakes which was very nice to see.

Kimberly Mueller

Amazing time spent at Pancake Cafe. We sat outside and soaked in the sun accompanied with aperol spritzes and cappuccinos. I was transcended back to mornings in Italy. Our server, Angie, was attentive and pleasant beyond belief. Both the regular and gluten free pancakes were delicious and fresh. Honestly the best gluten free pancakes I've had. We cannot wait to come back again!!

Friedaz Life

This place is the best. Bring cash, they do not accept anything else. The food is fresh and healthy and awesome. This place is heaven sent. You can even buy Gluten free loafs of bread. Just the bomb ass place!!!!!!!!!

Callie Bunker

Menu clearly indicates gluten free items. Server was kind and was able to indicate order was for celiac. Went there was they were having a special on the marg flight. Outdoor seating was plentiful, good energy on the patio

Maria Carioti

My fiancé and i came here for the first time last night and our experience was amazing! 10/10. the vibe of the restaurant is so cute and cozy and the service was wonderful. i was recently diagnosed with a gluten allergy and a mild dairy allergy and they were incredibly accommodating. my fiancé and i both ended up getting the chicken and it was probably the best chicken i have ever had in my life!!! we will definitely be back!

Caitlin Body

This place is a great breakfast spot. It has gluten free options but is known for its glutenous cinnamon rolls.

Daniel Cannon

I love Lark! It's one of my favorite places to go for dinner in Boystown. You absolutely must order breadsticks. Even if you're not hungry. Even if you're avoiding carbs. Even if you have Celiac disease. They are absolutely to die for. Pizzas are always good, but I tend to order either salmon or the steak frites. The salmon is always wonderfully fresh and well prepared, and always served on top of delicious seasonal vegetables with either a great balsamic reduction or a fresh, delicious pesto sauce. The steak frites is always great too, and they're perfectly happy to sub out the frites for veggies (I'm not opposed to potatoes, but they're seasonal vegetables are just always excellent!) Drinks are good and fairly priced. Nice selection of wines by the glass and bottle. Oh, and the service! Always friendly! Always helpful! This place is truly a gem.

Went here for our ma’s birthday while visiting Chicago for a show at Wrigley Field and it was fantastic! She has celiac disease and they can make any of their pastas Gluten Free which was awesome. We’ve been to some nicer Italian places but this was some of my favorite. Highly recommend!

Anastasia

Love the atmosphere here! Very cozy and intimate, with some nice outdoor tables in the summer. Great wine selection, good food options, including many vegetarian/pescatarian/gluten-free choices. I thought the sole fish was amazing and I enjoyed the Malbec wine, which pairs well with any dish. The service is also great! Very nice staff and usually pretty quick service. Also, you can bring your dog if seated outside. I highly recommend if you were interested in trying Turkish or Mediterranean food!

Elizabeth Davidson

Erin was the best waitress ever. so nice and accommodating to my friends celiac disease and made sure we were taken care of every second!!!!

PJ M

I ordered Chicken tikka wrap with garbanzos and cucumber with mild sauce. This was seasoned well. And the wrap was flaky and warm 10/10. I also got a Mango smoothie which dairy, gluten and nut free. It was sweet and creamy. I’ll be going back

John C

We had a fun date night here, food was so tasty. We enjoyed everything, ribs were especially enjoyable. Thanks so much Ivan for taking my allergy so seriously and going above and beyond! The gluten free bun is actually really good too

David Thomas

Great step up from a diner. Love the food, service and speed. The ingredients are fresh, and labeled well. If you want to eat gluten free, vegetarian or any choice you want or need, it's easy. The chorizo hash is perfect, crunchy potatoes, perfect eggs and guac make this my go-to. The fresh fruit and granola is my other favorite. The coffee is fantastic, not diner coffee. They brew it fresh and it's perfect. Service is fast and efficient without being pushy. If there's a wait they take your number and text you when ready. Simple things, but everything done well. In a pinch the counter is a great place to grab a meal too.

Nice place for a quick bite (quick for a sit down restaurant) in Wrigleyville. Flavorful tacos and good tortilla chips. Lots of gluten free options. Do not recommend if you have a garlic sensitivity or allergy, however.
