Top 43 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Ann Arbor

Sasha S

I was traveling a did a to go order. I got 3 pieces of fried chicken, French fries, and a brownie. The French fries were amazing. The chicken was less than stellar. The chicken itself was good but the breading was inedible. It was hard and brown and flavorless. The brownie was okay. Happy to get gluten free food, not worth the 40 price tag for 3 pieces of chicken, French fries and a brownie.

Gluten free pancakes prepared separately & safely. HUGE gluten free menu.

Briana Abeldt

The food is absolutely incredible, as are the cocktails. The service is impeccable. They have gluten free options marked on the menu and the server took very good care of us.

Jeanna DeMond

One of my favorite places in Ann Arbor. I could have French toast/pancakes/ waffles and be completely fine. Highly recommend

Kellie High

Love this place, this has become our "go to"! Our family members that are local took us here when our daughter was transferring to U of M and we must go back every time I visit. They have yummy gluten free options too! Highly recommended!

Bora Esenler

Refreshing, authentic & quality food. We’ll be regulars here when in town. Definitely better then continental or regular classic breakfast. The products are organic and produce are fresh. They have gluten free options!!!

Elizabeth Rose

I ordered a gluten free cheese pizza to go. The crust was so chewy, my jaw hurt. Toppings were extremely scarce, it was mostly bread.

Island Ewert

Service was great! Server was knowledgeable about gluten allergy concerns they walked me through the menu and the appropriate things that could be substituted so I could make a decision. There was more than just salad options. And they even had a dedicated fryer for French fries! I got a side of fries with my chicken and did not have any adverse reactions. I'd recommend when you make a reservation that you indicate any allergies they need to be aware of so they can be prepared and begin with that in mind. I would recommend them! Also it's not explicitly fancy, but definitely a snappy casual or higher kind of place. Plan accordingly!

Lovely mid-September late lunch at the 100% vegan street side cafe. Waiter recommended a customer favorite - the Reuben - which was delicious, especially the sauerkraut! He also brought me a complimentary sampler cup of Chana masala soup since it was my first time there. I could have had more - also delicious. Highly recommend and will come back! Lots of gluten free options too.

Roxanne Jensen

The service and food quality was impeccable as always! The server even went so far as to mark each item on the menu that was safe for me to eat, since I have a gluten allergy! She had recommendations for substitutions and all the modifications ready to go, it was a great experience.

Fionnan Noori

I was dying waiting for TAQ to reopen for the year! So glad they finally did so I could get the iconic nachos! Our server Nash was so kind and with my friend being gluten free and vegetarian she had a lot of questions but he was super helpful with that. I'd say it's priced pretty fairly for the quality and speed of the food. I spent less than I would've thought and had a delicious high quality meal with quick service. 10/10 recommend!

Torri Shenise

Great drinks! Gluten free buns!!!!!!

The atmosphere is nice and so are the ladies working there. I ordered the shrimp bruchetta which was sloppily drenched in a bland sauce w/ a long piece of hair on my cheese toast. The waitress and manager went above and beyond to attempt to rectify the situation....cooking staff obviously needs to wear hair nets. My co-woker ordered a gluten-free salad which wasn't and she had a reaction. I wouldn't return or recommend.

mikayla peterson

Oh yum! Ordered takeout and it was nothing but delicious! Friendly staff and I’ll definitely be going back :) I always wish that chicken shawarma was gluten-free but it’s no fault of the restaurant. It’d be great to see more gluten free options on the menu!

Margaret Svoboda

It is hard to find a coffee place that has anything gluten-free. The Drip House has a variety to choose from. As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciate the choices.

Andrea Klooster

My book club has been meeting here, which is always wonderful. Tonight was our first time coming for dinner for a special date night. The food was excellent, from the tortilla chip flight to our fabulous entrees (the salmon and the cherry burger) to a delicious and unusual Indonesian dessert (pictured). Kaitlin took such good care of us. I especially appreciated her knowledge and attention to detail regarding my gluten free diet. We will definitely be back!

Dmitri

Tons of gluten free options, none of them apparently celiac friendly. Wife did get the gochujang wrap which she said was super tasty, and my raspberry mocha latte was delicious, just wish I could have eaten something.

L. Murphy

Met up with friends for brunch. I called ahead and made a reservation since there were 8 of us. Reservation was made very easily, the table was waiting for us when we arrived, Everything we ordered was really good. I have celiac and I was able to order the club sandwich with GF toast, which was so good, Everything was fresh. Everyone was very nice. We will definitely go back.

Caryn Walker

Filet was over cooked but potatoes, broccolini and crème brûlée were amazing! Such cool history in the building. Worth a walk around inside and out! Nice gluten free option and well educated servers.

Marie Barksdale

Great Food, huge burritos, delicious. Burrito bowls This is actually a good gluten-free option as long as you If you get the bowl. This is my favorite location. I’ve always had a great customer service there. We get food quick. Dine in is good, If that’s what you’re looking for. It’s also always been easy for us to order to go and get out of the door. Just as quick as you can get through a drive-through.

My husband and I fell in love with this place. We both enjoy good Mediterranean cuisine and are very happy to have discovered this restaurant when me moved to the area. Everything we had here was delicious. My most favorite main dish would be the classic chicken kebabs with lemon potatoes, they make them just perfect. But the main reason we keep coming here is actually their appetizer of patatas bravas. They are the best potatoes I ever had and are amazing every time. I also always have their Tarta de Santiago. It’s a light dessert with a unique taste and texture. And it’s gluten free. The waiters are very pleasant, professional and helpful. The atmosphere is just right, calm and relaxed. We can’t wait to come here every month.

Ruthellen Ray

Food was awesome with a lot of gluten-free vegan and vegetarian choices! It was packed but we only had a 15 min wait! Service was excellent!

Katie Cox

Amazing food, even more amazing service! Megaly went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing dinner! She took my food allergies very seriously and gave great recommendations! They have a great wine selection here and a ton of gluten free desserts! My filet was cooked perfectly medium rare! We cannot wait to come back!

Melissa Gibson

I was here on a day in November, visiting from Canada, when the rest of my family was at the football game. I ordered the smoked salmon toast with gluten free bread (I am gluten intolerant but not celiac). They explained how they used separate toaster, board, utensils to avoid contamination. I also have a dairy allergy and they substituted the ricotta with hummus. The food was delicious! I can’t remember the last time I had such a savoury lunch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend the Ann Arbor location!

Amy Shepherd

We made reservations to celebrate our 9 year Anniversary at Weber's. We frequent Ann Arbor, but this was our first visit to the restaurant. We will definitely be back! Our waitress Kelly was phenomenal! She asked about any dietary restrictions immediately after taking our drink orders. She brought me the gluten free menu and told us about the daily specials. They started us off with a bread basket with fresh baked bread, some toasted, butter and pate, which I skipped but my partner greatly enjoyed. We had the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. The shrimp were humongous and full of flavor! My filet mignon was cooked with a wonderful char on the outside but still a perfect medium on the inside. The whipped potatoes were the best I've ever had, which is saying a lot because potatoes are my favorite food! My partner said the prime rib was a perfect medium rare and the au jus added additional flavor. We were so stuffed we couldn't order dessert, which was disappointing as they had a wonderful menu of delicious treats! Halfway through our meal we noticed they started the live entertainment with a piano player. It was a delightful surprise that added to the ambiance of the evening. I can't wait to go back! I'll be ordering the scallops next time!

Alex Radford

This was my first time there and I was very impressed! Their drink menu has quite a few choice, something for everyone (alcoholic and non) and prices are very comparable to the area. I chose the Collins with vodka and it was very flavorful and refreshing! Their food menu is small but still had a lot to offer; vegetarian and gluten free options as well! So many things looked very good but I decided the steak frites. The all time best was when the steak came out cut into slices (cooked perfectly)!! A lot of chefs I feel are afraid to cut into steaks but I actually prefer this so there is no question on the cook of it! The portions were great, pricing seemed fair and all around taste and presentation was awesome. I can’t leave the staff out, they were all great!! Our server was very attentive and friendly! Even when we walked out a gentleman said to have a good night as he was coming back in from garbage duty! I will definitely be recommending Sam Hill and will of course be back!

Melissa Gibney Raymond

My family has been going here for years. Before my gluten issues I would always order the French toast with Dearborn ham(it was my favorite). The food is cooked on one grill that is not gluten free. Service is Amazing. Wonderful hometown Coney.

John Madonna

So Ashley's was waaay ahead of the game when it comes to high quality beer, and they are frankly the best I've ever seen. There is always something new to try here and this is the only place I've ever seen with the Duchesse de Bourgogne on tap. That alone means every time I'm in Ann Arbor, I'm stopping here. Also, the beer is amazing, but don't let us forget that the food is great with plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options and the scotch selection is also unparalleled.

Sarah Smith

First time ever going to a restaurant like this. Salad bar was amazing, and there were a lot of gluten free options. There are some nice free add ons, but buyer beware anything they say is al a carte is going to be pricy!!! Everything was delicious though, and an overall fun experience. All the meats were excellent.

Hailey

Really good serving size for the price. The gluten free cookie was yummy. They are only doing take out or dining outside right now, FYI.

Vanessa Moody

Awesome sandwiches and they are able to accommodate a gluten free allergy.

Hailey

They have gluten free buns! The food was great.

Noranda Smith

The staff are super friendly. Food is delicious. The chef heard I had a gluten allergy and made a special dessert just for me that was AMAZING . I was dining alone and they made me feel at home. Great experience all around.

Emily Bailey

I love that they have a gluten free bread option so that I could get the French dip sandwich- it was delicious as always!

Karen Grimm

I have a lot of crazy and sever food allergies. I was thrilled when I read on their website that they cater to a gluten/dairy free menu. I called up to confirm and spoke with Mike. He talked to the chef about my allergies and was assured it would be fine. And it was! I was there Monday night, so sorry I do not remember the name of our waitress who was wonderful! The card with all the sides and allergies listed was a godsend. She was so helpful. The flank steak was great. The wine was very good. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make my food. We need more allergy friendly places like you!

Dane Peterson

Such an unexpected tree to find delicious Staples in addition to Korean food. We came here for the Korean bibimbap which they will make gluten-free. Spouse got an amazing burger and fries. So so so tasty. Highly recommend.

Jake Arthur

This is my absolute favorite place in Ann Arbor (probably all of Michigan). I've had just about every item on the menu at this point and would order every single item every time if I could. It's even the best coffee in town if you ask me! The owner is amazing and is happy to make recommendations and changes to orders based on dietary restrictions. One of my parents is vegetarian and the other is gluten free but there was PLENTY of food for them to eat here and Tamara was awesome with helping them pick everything out. THEY ALSO DO AMAZING CUSTOM CAKES! This has become my go-to for all the cake in my life. Do yourself a favor and start eating here today.

Julianna Stevenson

The food was delicious and came out quickly! I liked how customizable it was and it was super clear what was vegetarian/vegan/gluten free. With the reasonable prices, I’m sure we’ll be back!

Dane Peterson

Love the options at Sweetwaters. Hot and cold drinks as well as food. Dairy free milk options and usually some gluten free food options as well. Free wifi too. This location is attached to/opens to the library. You can go in from the Sweetwater's entrace even before the library opens to use a work room or play in the kids area. The back library door is closed so park out front if you don't want to hike around to the Sweetwaters main entrance. Add: love this place 😆 (See picture)

Jen Burch

Love the updates here! The salad was fresh and my gluten free cheesecake was AMAZING! Nice place for my colleagues and I to have our luncheon.

Grace Su Ming

Very cute place with yummy food. Vegan and gluten free options. Breakfast place. Staff very friendly. Parking on the street

Went to Cafe Zola with friends for dinner, and it was a great experience overall. We had a reservation and were seated promptly at our reserved time, which was a nice start to the evening. The menu is limited, but what they offer is well-executed. The absolute standout dish was the Sambar Grilled Chicken Skewers—the sauce was the real star, adding a bold kick that made the dish unforgettable. The flavors still linger, making it a must-try! Though listed as a starter, the portion was generous enough to be a main course. The sauce and chicken complemented each other perfectly, making it a standout dish. We also tried: • Shrimp Tacos – Fresh and flavorful • Brussels Sprouts – Nicely done • Bread Board – A good starter to share • Tofu with Ginger Tahini Sauce – Light yet packed with flavor • Cavalo Nero (Kale pesto & spring pea shoots) – A unique and tasty combination • Tajarin ai Limone with Chicken (customized with added chicken) – So good! The chicken was cooked to perfection. • Faroe Island Salmon Fillet – Well-prepared and delicious The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great experience. They also offer outdoor seating for summer, which is something I’d love to try next time. They offer vegetarian and gluten-free options, and the staff is accommodating if you need modifications. It’s best to check with them for specific dietary needs For parking, we got lucky since it wasn’t too busy, but during peak hours, finding a spot can be tricky as it’s located downtown. However, a private paid parking lot is just a few steps away, making it convenient. The restaurant falls on the expensive side, and the portions are small, but the flavors make up for it. Next time, I’m definitely trying their crepes and truffle fries! Overall, Great Food, Cozy Ambiance, and Friendly Service. A great spot for a nice meal with friends—just don’t expect a huge menu!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = GF Options! I was invited to try this place out as a Gift. First of course, the waitstaff were Great. The Atmosphere interior was cozy, and upbeat like what you'd expect from Ann Arbor Spots. The only critic here would be that the side main window view opens up directly to a Gas Station... they could consider completly Blacking those windows out and adding some exterior and interior designs to create a better experience visually. Now the food... "Coffee and the Cups were Great! I also gave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating "because you can get the pancakes or the sandwiches made with a gluten-free bread option!" Any restaurant still not offering gluten-free just doesn't care too much about their patrons. The food is definitely A Cut above the typical Coney Island breakfast. You can taste the freshness and lack of over used low quality cooking oil you find in Coney's. Ideas; To take the experience to the next level, they could ask if you want your pancakes, plain or pre-buttered?? If the patron choses pre-buttered, there should be a decent coat of hot salted butter on each pancake. Also offer A Sweeter Maple Syrup. Great place to visit, and I would like to come back to try the lunch menu out "as the sandwich menu does look veeeery tempting"!
