Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Jersey City

Cary DeLuca

Michelle and her team did a phenomenal job catering my Baby Shower this weekend! She worked with me to develop a menu in advance, and prepared light, delicious offerings for my guests. She easily accommodated various dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegetarian options, peanut free, etc.). The real show stopper was the cake. WOW! Not only was it flavorful, but the decorations fit perfectly with the theme of the shower (woodland). I would absolutely recommend Michelle for any catering gig, especially those that need to be gluten free. Thank you Busy Bee!

The entrees are very gluten-free friendly. All sandwiches and wraps can be made with gluten-free breads. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable - he told me their fryers aren’t dedicated to just French fries and gave me a salad on the side instead.

This place has a lot of great gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options, with no modifications needed since the dishes are already made that way. My favorites are the Al Pastor and Brussel Sprout tacos, really flavorful! Their tortilla chips are also pretty good. There has always been tables available when we’ve gone, and the service has always been fast.

The server was very nice, was seated right away, but took a long time to receive our food. I ordered gluten free pancakes and they were disappointing. They were dry, rough, no flavor, and flat. Did not look good at all. Worse tasting gf pancakes I've ever had.

Kerry Leccese

GF crepes are amazing!

Mickey Crump

They can make you any gf breakfast sandwich on their menu. Delicious coffee options as well! I didn’t see any other gf specific options or baked goods other than their sandwich bread. But the bread was a nice big portion! No small pieces of bread like what you get in store.

Carolina Wente

This is the second time that I had their nuggets and for the second time my stomach hurts. It says gluten free, however it feels exactly like when I eat gluten.

Jessica Sage

Good tunes, good people, good food. Sometimes I carry out, sometimes I stay in. Everything on the menu is tasty, and lots of gluten free options for my GF friends

Lauren Disbennett

We come here all the time and are obsessed! The gluten free pizza and pasta is amazing - the spicy vodka rigatoni with stracciatella is phenomenal. We recently tried the square pizzas, so fluffy and massive, everything we’ve had here is a 10/10 plus the outdoor seating is such a cute vibe

Sakshi Pande

Gluten free pancakes too good, must have. Will come back to try other dishes too.

Beware if you’re sensitive to cross contamination with gluten. I order some of their GF pancakes and literally watched them put the batter on the same spot on the grill where they laid open faced bread to toast. They don’t clean the grill in between cooking so my pancakes and mostly my eggs were contamination with bread crumbs. Would not come here again for food. Plus, they forgot my order so I ended waiting 40 plus minutes for some pancakes & eggs.

Alexis Teresi

Hudson and Co. has always been good to and my dietary restrictions. They have a nice selection of gluten free options and staff is always friendly. Every time we go, their Manager Dala goes above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of! He’s our favorite part of the experience! He’s friendly, funny, caring and attentive! We love Dala and will always come back as long as he’s there!

Brialle Ringer

Best vegan Mac & cheese ever!! And I’ve tried a lot of them. Soo flavorful and satisfying. The Zak is a must try! I love the perfectly smoky mushrooms on top with the delicious sauce. The salad + pico on the side is a lovely fresh addition to the comforting dish. I also had the churro waffle — soo delicious! Seriously my favorite restaurant on the east coast. The intention, donation based, vegan, organic, gluten free, friggen delicious — not to mention the beautiful garden, free produce fridge out front. I’d love to see more models like this, feels like a real gem in the community

DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY I went here with friends for dinner on a Saturday night and I’m still regretting that choice 5 days later. I usually don’t write reviews, but given how sick I’ve been after eating here, I’m going to be incredibly detailed. Our server (who was also the hostess) was really pleasant once we were seated. I asked her if they have gluten free pasta and she said yes and also alerted me that the meatball appetizer is made with breadcrumbs in it. I really appreciated her looking out for me. When she told me about the meatballs I said “eh one meatball won’t kill me” - maybe that was my grave mistake. While we were waiting for our food, I noticed that the menu had a large disclaimer on it, that “all pasta dishes are served al dente”. I thought that was weird considering most places serve their pasta al dente…. When my meal finally came out the pasta was legitimately crunchy. It wasn’t cooked through at all. I felt bad, but I asked the waitress/hostess if they could remake it… then the manager comes over and tries to explain to me what “Al dente” means. I didn’t want to argue, but expressed again that it was undercooked and some of the noodles were straight up HARD. She rolled her eyes as she took my plate away. Fast forward: my new dish comes out and the manger comes back to again explain to me how pasta is boiled for some reason and emphasized that they shouldn’t overcook pasta? Whatever- I say thank you for the new dish - I eat my meal and it’s significantly better than the first time. 30 minutes later I start feeling really sick… while I can’t confirm it, I’m almost certain they served me regular pasta the second time around. I’m not celiac, but I have a pretty severe gluten allergy. I ate ONE meatball as my “cheat” meal of the day. Some breadcrumbs usually leads to a LITTLE discomfort for a few hrs. After eating that pasta, Ive been sick for 5 days with all the telltale signs of eating a large quantity of gluten. Sever stomach cramps, joint pain all over my body, bloating, swollen hands and feet. I was bedridden for the entire day after eating here. Again, I can’t prove anything but my suspicion is that they gave me regular pasta bc of my comment about eating the meatball or bc I complained about my original dish? Either way… the manager is rude af and they have a weird obsession with “Al dente” pasta. Sidenote: my friends didn’t enjoy their meals either. Their red sauce is pretty bland according to her.

I'm not sure I've ever had Hyderabad cuisine before, but it was delicious...and spicy! They took a standard dish in Aloo Gobi, for instance, and amped it up with green chilis and Sichuan peppers. The lentil dish we had was similarly rich and spicy. So many vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options, which was important for our group. The menu is vast, and I would certainly return to try more of it. The whole neighborhood is incredibly vibrant.

Jamie Huenefeld

Skinners loft was fun. My dining mate has severe food allergies, and they verified that the fryer wasn't cross contaminating with gluten. Super awesome. Most restaurants can't do that. My dinner had hiccups. I got the watermelon salad, and the lettuce was bad. They fixed it and comped the salad part. Service was impeccable throughout this. The salmon was perfectly cooked, also. I'll definitely go back. They had some organic options, the fish was wild. Yea, good stuff!

Tez Termulo

A really cute place with delicious fish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The Islandic salmon is amazing! Staff was attentive and super nice. Music list created a great vibe. I am looking forward to when the garden reopens! BYOB with great mixers.

kevin duffus

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Amazing experience from start to finish. We had a party offsite for 75 people. The whole night went off without a hitch. Diana was easy to work with and her experienced advice was spot on. From planning stage to night of party- exceptionally organized and delivered as discussed. Staff was professional and accommodating with any request. In passing I mentioned a gluten allergy for one of our guests- unsolicited Diana put together a plate and personally delivered it. Aside from all of that- the food was incredible!!! I highly recommend Diana and Casa Cubana.

Catherine Cummings

Great atmosphere and service! Very friendly staff with upscale food/drink choices. Have several gluten free options in both appetizers and meals. When I went all the sides were gluten free!

Anh M Nguyen

A small cute asian fusion brunch restaurant. The portions are decent. You get a lot of food and vegetables. I guarantee you get full after finishing your meal. Every bites were filled with flavor. I recommend trying their vermicelli bowl. They have more western options such as breads and eggs too. There are options for vegetarians and gluten free. The coffee could be stronger. Staffs are nice and welcoming.

Trish S

A wonderful atmosphere with delicious food! The mimosas are excellent, and they offer a diverse range of cocktails. There are also good gluten-free options available. Don't forget to make a reservation in advance.

A Cozy Hidden Gem in Jersey City! I recently visited Belle Âme Café, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Walking in from the rain, I was immediately greeted by a warm and cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The café is spotless, with plenty of natural light pouring in through the large windows, creating the perfect environment to relax. What truly stood out to me was their Gluten-Free Brazilian cheese bread. I asked them to use it to make an egg and avocado sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious! The coffee was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. To top it off, the staff behind the counter were an absolute delight. Their friendly, welcoming energy added to the overall charm of the place.

I'm embarrassed to say it was the first time visiting in my 20+ years living in downtown JC. Even worse, I've been to every other taco place and this was my last to visit. If you're getting takeout, I'd recommend another taco spot but if you're eating in-person definitely visit. We had the shrimp ceviche and Carne tacos (5 minis w/ rice & beans for $17, super economical) for food. For drinks, we enjoyed 'The Neil' margarita (w/ one Marlee thrown in) and bubbles option. The waitors were extremely helpful and familiar with the menu. Celiac Annie felt at home and was able to partake in all the food options mentioned. I cannot wait to come back. Total package... Presentation, atmosphere food, and drinks...

Natalie Rosborough

Blown away by this little spot! The place itself is decorated beautifully and the staff was super friendly. We ordered the pao de quiejo, Amazon salad, salmon, vegan stew, and chicken stroganoff. Everyone loved their meal. The flavors were outstanding and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. There’s no other place like it downtown. As someone who is gluten free, I was thrilled to see that I could have more than half of the menu. My partner who is vegan also had plenty of options. Highly recommend coming here for a great meal.

Christina N

Great staff, friendly and involved owner, and it’s very nice to have a lovely place to get food in this area of the city where there aren’t as many options. I love to see the extended menu since they first opened.. but please 🥲 some more gluten free options would be much appreciated!! Highly recommend the corned beef hash… I got the full rundown on how this was made- so much effort goes into this dish and you can tell: it’s beyond delicious! I always clean my plate with this one.

Elaisa Tamaro

Very nice flat white with a delicious gluten free chocolate brownie! 😋

Deniz Vurmaz

My favorite place to go, the food, people, juices, like literally everything is amazing here! I’m so lucky to have this cute cafe nearby and I’m NOT EXAGGARATING, you feel like you are home. They have Gluten free (GF) muffins (It’s one of the best, never found them anywhere else) and other GF food. 100% recommended!

Rex Accavallo

Really nice spot. Semi limited gluten free options and nothing is clearly marked GF on the menu (however vegan is marked). Food was good but not amazing, prices are a tad high for the food I feel. Great atmosphere though, nice place. The waitress was very sweet (Erika) she was great

Ed Mattingly

I've been here about 4-5 times over the past several years and it never disappoints. First time attending a Sunday brunch and overall good experience (even during Covid times). Had the pulled pork nachos and rib sandwich along with a bloody mary and breakfast margarita (not shown). Celiac Annie had the eggs, chorizo, potatoes, and queso brunch dish with prosecco. Unfortunately, the waiter did not mention the chorizo and queso both had gluten and therefore the dish was slightly underwhelming. Still tasty and our fault for not asking.

Jessi Dunham

Cannot express my love for Hybrid enough! Evan and his team are awesome. They make sure they know you and your order. I go here almost daily for my iced matcha latte. Great matcha. All the baristas are genuinely friendly - Mikey, Michelle, Gabe and Mel. Evan has been working on gluten-free donuts which I had the pleasure of trying and they did not disappoint. Also, if you see the pao de quejo definitely order. Clearly, I'm obsessed

Karol Gawrych

A solid coffee spot near a light rail stop in Newport. A nice selection of gluten free pastries, although nothing extensive overall. The coffee selection is standard, but the pour your own cold brew is a nice touch.

Sabrina Lombardi

The gluten free avocado toast is spectacular!! The service and atmosphere are missing something.

Audrey Tappan

The host is on their business! Well run place. Gluten free bread is A1 and I could drink the sangria for the rest of my life.

Manpreet Singh

Great Cafe - Offers Coffee, HotChocolate, & wide variety of Hot n Cold beverages ! French croissants, Avocado Toast, Breakfast, Gourmet Sandwiches, Gluten Free options ..! Whether working from Laptop, or Just Sipping Coffee, DateNight or Just Chilling, 10/10 Place for Every Occasion…!

David Smith

The bakery items are awesome. Gluten free/vegan/delicious.

Chandrakiran Parkar

It was a business meeting, and they recognized it and gave us space and also knew when you come and ask for our needs. Very quiet, options were limited on menu but had all kinds of options for veg, gluten free, etc

jen sluyk

We came here after the liberty science center for my sister’s birthday dinner. Parking was hard to find but we managed to loop a few times and find a spot within 10 minutes of being there. We were a large group, bread is not free, as it’s focaccia bread at $5 a basket, my husband said it was good but not great. Everyone enjoyed their food and it came out lovely. Just when mine the gluten free pizza came out, 10 minutes after everyone else’s and then was completely burned and when my husband asked them to remake it the waiter made it seem like I was being an inconvenience to them for wanting a not burned pizza - which by the way - costs more than the regular pizza and is extremely thin. The waiter said it would take so long and they could just remove it from the bill and I got upset for being an inconvenience to them (or taking it that way) but my husband said no you need to remake this. Ultimately it was a good pizza once it was cooked properly but for me I just didn’t have that grand of an experience, whereas my family did. So that’s why I removed only one star. So if you have a gluten allergy just beware your food may come out 10 mins later than everyone else’s and also not be cooked properly and possibly will make you feel like crumbs for their mistake.

Charming Neighborhood Cafe with a Personal Touch Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, this cafe exudes warmth and charm. Its cozy size often leads to a wait, but patience pays off here. We ordered the special omelet of the day, featuring asparagus and Swiss cheese. My gluten-free friend was thoughtfully accommodated with a generous fruit bowl in place of bread. While their lattes were a delightful pick-me-up, their known for pistachio croissant - this is a must-try. The icing on the cake? The friendly owner, who, even amidst his culinary duties, takes the time to mingle with guests, ensuring everyone's experience is nothing short of awesome.

Marcos Rodriguez

My new addiction. Lol And to think my friend orders from here because they are the best gluten free option.

Dan McKearnan

Dorian's is an upscale tavern with a nice variety of menu items, starters and dinner plates. Vegetarian and gluten free items galore. I enjoyed a hot pastrami sandwich. The service was great!

Prasad Ramamoorthy

It had parking in the back and the food was good but very very spicy. They didn't have reuten free options and they're very clear as to what dishes were gluten free and what we're not. For example none of their Dosa items are gluten free. Paneer biryani was awesome so was there medu vada.

Dana Read

The food is incredible, albeit portion sizes are a little small. The owner is friendly and the staff were accommodating of my gluten intolerance.

Dani B

Great Sweetgreen spot with unreal views of the city. Amber is always so helpful, especially with my gluten allergy. Always love coming here!

Leon Axt

I saw this place had a full Irish and I needed it you see because the last one I had was lacking, no puddings, which, it's not like they're my favorite thing but if you're gonna full Irish then go ahead and Irish me fully. And they did. It was delicious food, the breading on the tomato was a nice touch. I ate it too quickly. They had a Brewdog IPA (Elvis Juice) that went well with it, and then let me do a black magic (Guinness and Magic Hat #9). They were also nice enough to let me move to a bigger table outside when my friends joined for some drinks along with a hairy baby! Oh and they have a gluten free beer for my partner who said it was great. She wouldn't let me have any it was so good (not true, I was perfectly content with what I ordered). Ten for ten would recommend. Heck I'll take you just to go again. I do wish it wasn't only a brunch thing though.

Vaughn Lindquist

Always a tasty meal in quick turnover restaurant. Consistently good quality and a good variety of menu. I'm gluten free, so i appreciate the variety of choice.

Ed Mattingly

I've visited 5-6x times over the past few years and even had my wife's bridal shower at this location. The food is great and consistent. Service is good and great efforts are being made to improve. Gluten free pasta options for celiac Annie. Recommend the hanger steak and beef tatare appetizer. Enjoyed the old fashion from the drink menu...

Tony Lamboy

Been living in area for many years, always go here love the food. Maybe they can put on menu gluten free options so people know which foods contain gluten for allergy purposes

Ed Mattingly

I've been to every burger spot in JC and I'm proclaiming this the best... Awesome service and just great burgers. Amazing meat and fresh ingredients. I appreciated the straight-forward burger options and the full bar with actual awesome drinks (B.A.M. highly recommended). Gluten free bun offered for celiac Annie was a huge plus. Had the Mexican Street corn as well and very excited to try the other items on the menu. The overall meal was extremely economical had I not drank three rounds with my wife. I will be back....
