Top 39 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Annapolis

Riley Chadwick

Everything about True Food is a delight! The cocktails were perfectly balanced and the service from James was absolutely top notch. I typically avoid gluten free options due to the texture, but the gluten free blueberry pancakes are the best pancakes I've had at a restaurant period. My partner loved his matcha horchata and farmer’s hash. I highly recommend giving this spot a try, it’s wonderful!

We ended up here on a whim the day of the fall festival. It was crowded but we were seated very quickly. The service was great and was completely unaffected by how packed it was. They had gluten free options available (even dessert, which is rare). I had a BLT on a gluten free bun AND a gluten free strawberry shortcake. I will absolutely be back.

Great breakfast! Some of the best gluten free pancakes you’ll ever eat!!

I found this hidden gem while using my Gluten Free Finder app. As I was checking out with all of my sweet treats, an employee asked if I had tried the gf bread-and then directed me to her favorite- the rustic loaf. I toasted some up when I got home and it is HANDS DOWN the best gf bread I’ve ever had. My daughter used some to make me stuffing (in preparation for Thanksgiving). It was way better than any boxed mixes I’ve tried. Next trip to Annapolis (I live over an hour away) I got two more loaves. The food processor s great, the staff is super friendly and helpful, and it’s a great space. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner!

Very good coffee, I find their espresso based options especially good, nothing is overly sweet (I've had Almond Joy, hazelnut, and another I can't remember). The chix salad is very good, breakfast sandwiches have lots of options for cheese and protein, and they serve the best gluten free roll I've ever tried. The only minor negative is the eggs for sandwiches are cooked in the microwave, they are tasty nonetheless. They do a very brisk order online-n-pickup business and I actually love it. I wish I lived near this terrific local coffeehouse chain, but I was visiting the area for several weeks and visited the Annapolis and Crownsville locations multiple times.

I love it, and they do have many gluten free options. Thank you guys

My first time eating at C.H. since celiac’s. I highly recommend dining here. They had an entire menu dedicated to GF. Not often do you see such a variety. My true test is not having any reactions afterwards, and passed with no issues.

This place is great. The food is amazing and so is the service. For gluten free, they have many options - including the Brazilian cheese bread. The salad bar items are marked for which are GF. Our gaucho Robert went above and beyond to make sure we had plenty of the meat we were interested in. We received excellent service from everyone else as well. I highly recommend this place. Just be prepared to leave full.

the food is good, our Italian friend always wants to go here and says it's as authentic as you get around there. ive only been for lunch a handful of time but its usually not crowded. some vegetarian options, not many vegan or gluten free.

Gretchen Madden

Our server, Erin, made us feel like we were not a burden even though 5/6 of us were gluten free and three of us have celiac disease, typically rendering eating out very unsafe, if not impossible. Rafael, the chef on duty that day, came to talk to us and custom made pretty much all of our meals to ensure they were celiac safe. I want to shout from the rooftops so other celiacs will give Maggianos a try. It only took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, too. Custom made celiac safe Mac and cheese and he even made a custom sauce so that the chicken piccata would be safe for me (I have celiac and a corn sensitivity). I was so impressed and we all left feeling like it was a life changing experience to have such a nice restaurant to be able to go to when we want to go out to dinner. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Maggianos Annapolis! We will be back over and over!!!

Ginger Andrews

Yummy and wonderful food. Gluten free options and gluten free bakery treats.

Great breakfast! They had both indoor and outdoor seating available, and seated us right away. They had symbols on the menu to indicate what was gluten-free friendly. They also had dairy-free creamer. I got the angry pig omelet and an iced coffee.

S Conley

Very nice bistro that helps train the lighthouse people. The food was delicious. The service was great. Prices were reasonable. They had a number of gluten free options.

Dana Jean

Gluten free Heaven!! The gf fish & chips is better than any I’ve had. One of the specials was a salmon Benedict. Amazing!The wait staff is really friendly and helpful!

We have been satisfied diners at the Carrol's Creek Cafe for several years now. We drive almost an hour to reach their location in Annapolis, so it is always a special treat for us. Their convenient parking is a breeze, but do make sure you have your parking ticket validated. Their red wine onion soup is one of our favorites, with a rich flavorful broth, but not as salty as other versions of onion soup, well worth a try. Their seasonal citrus and beet salad is my personal salad selection, if it is not available, the Carrol Creeks salad is also quite good. Their infrequent offering of soft shell crab appetizer is described as "whale sized" by the waiter but in actuality is quite modest and smaller than we would have liked for the price. Their entree selection is good, we usually go with the specials offered that evening. Their poached grouper was perfectly prepared with a moist tender texture that was excellent, the lemongrass flavoring was delicious. Their desert menu is worth a look. The Expresso creme brulee is highly recommended, their ice cream is rich and creamy with crafted flavors, the flour less chocolate cake (gluten free) is also very nice. We visit Carrol's Creek Cafe on special occasions and would visit more often if we were nearer! A great place to dine and relax with a view of the boats in the marina.

We have dined here twice. Both times we were highly disappointed. We wont be back. Lets start with the good. The Brussels were amazing (although a little spicer the second round...yes we ordered two.) and the rock fish was a crowd pleaser. The kids burger was very large and we split it for our kids. The side fruit that came with it seemed fresh cut and had a great variety. Now the bad...Gluten free menu online but not in restaurant. They had a few selections but they didn't seem polished with this and we were celebrating a birthday for someone with an allergy. We selected this place thinking it would be easy for them. My husband didn't like the chicken sandwich. It was thin and extra crispy. My beet and blue salad was large but not very good. The scallops were okay but very salty. Last visit our lamb lollipops were served cold but we overlooked it thinking it was because we ordered quite a bit. We requested roof deck seating with our reservations and in the restaurant upon arriving and both times we were not successful. There was a party our most recent trip and I cant remember the reasoning for the first visit. This was a big bummer since it was a gorgeous night and there is outdoor dining right down the street. Our hostess informed us yesterday that you can't request location of seating in a reservation (phone and online). Surprising since we had but good knowledge to pass along.

My husband and I had an amazing dining experience while visiting Annapolis. Both managers Mike and Nick were so friendly and accommodating. Our waitress Taylor provided excellent service and offered great suggestions from the menu. I loved that they had their own gluten free / vegan menu. There were so many choices and my meal was perfection. There is something for everyone. My husband loved his meal and made room for a delicious dessert. The service was fast , the atmosphere great and the staff was top notch . We are already talking about going back tomorrow. :)

S Conley

The food was hit or miss. 4 adults and 1 child had dinner there. 2 meals were not very good at all the others were ok. Of course the cheesecake was rich but good and I was happy they had 1 type that was gluten free.

Grace K

So glad to have this healthy breakfast/juice place in Annapolis! Love that there is a gluten free bread option. Protein was added to my smoothie making it perfect for a quick on the go meal while I finished my errands. Also grabbed the beet and ginger juice. Was absolutely delicious.

Meg D

Gorgeous location, you can see the water from almost every table. We came here to celebrate our engagement and it felt lovely and special. The mojitos were meh but the food was delicious and the staff are great. I recommend the fish tacos- they can be made gluten free!

Christine Miller

Great gluten free burger and fries! Friendly staff and yummy food!

Kevin Wanamaker

The food here is amazing and the service is fantastic. For those that need gluten free they have many options and can accommodate some meals with changes. The Crab Hash is amazing and highly recommended.

Carla Barrett

Steak and prime rib well prepared. Good service, but service staff are not trained on food allergies! Did not have a gluten free menu and could not answer basic questions about ingredients.

Ed Mattingly

Slightly outside of the downtown area but completely worth the walk from our hotel. Service and food was outstanding. They carefully accommodated celiac Annie and even brought out the soy sauce to show us that the scallops appetizer would be safe for her consumption. She had the filet mignon and I had the lamb shanks. We sampled several drinks and even had dessert. Awesome experience and they didn't balk to seat our 3yo son. The appetizers were the highlight of our meal.

Amelia Eanes

One of my favorite healthy breakfast, lunch and pre or post workout places in Annapolis! Lots of juice and blend options, local kambucha, delicious snacks! Vegan and paleo friendly with mostly gluten free friendly options!

Jessica Lessnau

Don't come here if you have food allergies. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and was hoping this place would be safe since they have menu items marked gluten free and had heard things about them using separate fryers. When I came in, I made the waitress aware of my allergies and ordered a salad and the sampler platter. I wasn't sure which of the sides would be safe to eat with my entree, so I checked with the waitress and after some hesitation she agreed to check with the kitchen, came back and said the potato salad would be fine. Not too long into eating my meal, I started to have a reaction, and now, (next day) I am debilitated from whatever contamination was in the food. Very disappointed and will not be coming back.

My husband and I love doing appetizer/drink/dessert date nights and this place hit the spot! We started with the flaming crab dip and duck fat fries and then moved onto the short rib tacos (under the gluten free menu) and all 3 dishes were absolutely delicious. Husband got a smoke on the water cocktail and I got a watermelon mule drink and again, both were delicious. We finished with the NY raspberry cheesecake! Two thumbs up. Absolutely one of our new favorite places

Kay G

Very pretty restaurant with attentive waitstaff. It's a bit pricey, but has an extensive wine and alcohol list. No vegan meals and really only 1 choice for vegetarian "meal", which was a salad. I realize it is a seafood restaurant, but would live to see a more inclusive menu. There was a gluten free menu, which was great.

Mairin Gilbert

Broadneck Grill is incredible! They catered my wedding in October and I cannot say enough positive things about them! They were very responsive and patient answering all of my many many questions! They were also easily able to accommodate all of the various dietary restrictions and allergies that my guests had (i.e. Gluten Free, lactose intolerant, shellfish, vegetarian, etc...). The food and service were fantastic, all my guests were raving about the fajitas and the crab balls! They are truly full service, they handled all the set up and break down, cleaned up throughout the night, delivered chairs & linens, and kept us on schedule! They were an absolute dream to work with and did a fantastic job

Turtle jones

Excellent Service and Excellent Food! Went here on a Sunday morning for Brunch and left with a Happy belly. I ordered their Killer Cake N' Eggs which was very Good. The crab cakes were incredible and their coffee paired well. They have Gluten Free options as well.

Ron Hoff

Love that they have gluten-free, friendly options for pancakes Everything was really good Even coffee Son loved his hot chocolate

Ty Davis

The tavern has a hint of a beer distillery - it’s hoppy and pleasant to take in as you walk through the doors. They have a large menu with a larger beer menu. They do have a full bar, but the bottled beer menu is outstanding. My wife is gluten-free, and they have three gluten-free beer options for those such as she. The server was knowledgeable and was able to answer questions about some of the odd allergies our group has. We called about 15 minutes ahead on a Thursday afternoon and they were able to seat 12 of us in a private room.

Christine Guenther

I have visited this restaurant four times since it opened/rebranded, and every time has been excellent. I have been so pleasantly surprised at each visit, and after dinner there last evening, I felt compelled to write a review which I rarely do. The food has been delicious and the service has been friendly and efficient. They have a great little kids menu as well as gluten-free pasta and other dishes for gluten-free eaters. The decor and ambience is modern yet and charming. I am so excited to have this little gem in Cape Saint Claire!

Good vibes, cold beer, AND THE BEST GLUTEN FREE CRAB CAKE EVER + a solid tuna wonton nacho 🤤

Joanne Rende

Great food & Gluten free options

Alan Berg, CSP

We found this in the Find Me Gluten Free app when looking for somewhere to get lunch on a Sunday. The people were so nice and they really understand gluten free. I had a tuna salad sandwich on Gluten Free bread, which was delicious. The bread was tasty and the tuna was definitely homemade and delicious. They also have a separate case with gluten free dessert items.

Alex G

Fantastic menu options, and an extensive beer and wine list. The space is rich in history and very classy. Sometimes there is live music. Good vegetarian and gluten-free options as well.
