Top 6 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Cooperstown

Donna Anglin

It's always great when you go to a place that make sandwiches and they have gluten free bread! And it's delicious! And they have gluten free desserts too! The coffee was delicious. They use Boar's head meats....so good! So glad we found this place and we will totally be going back!

My wife & I celebrated our anniversary at Hawkeye in the early fall and were amazed by the fall foliage and gorgeous lakeside view. The beer sampler and the white sangria were really tasty and the food we ordered (salad with salmon and fried chicken with dill coleslaw) was as exquisite as the view. Hawkeye also gets a gold star for offering a large number of gluten-free options. We look forward to returning again soon.

Friendly service; attention to detail; gluten free accommodating; fresh salads; better quality fare on wider than expected "bar" menu; juicy meats; soft, well-baked fish. Will return.

If you enjoy delicious coffee, good eats and a pleasant atmosphere, this is a must-visit little coffee shop tucked off the main drag in Cooperstown. Espresso, served in a small to-go cup instead of the tiny espresso cups which is good if you want to add milk I guess, was nutty, dark and delicious with a less pronounced bitterness than most others. Broad and creative hot and cold coffee selections including iced coffee - toffee, Super Cold brew (with MCT coconut oil) and Myco Brew coffee (with Host Defense Mushroom Extract). Wide variety of food that expands far beyond just breakfast including a range of garden salads, deli sandwiches, and Paninis make this a fun spot to come for lunch as well. Nice mix of seating options, including a window counter upfront with high top seating, table seating along the sides, a nice more semi formal seating area with tables in the back, and a fun patio with umbrellas in the back. The tables on the back room are arranged next to what appears to be a steam engine from a 1940s locomotive. Actually, on second glance, that looks like that might be their coffee roasting equipment. Unfortunately, can’t see the lake from here, but the food and beverages more than makes up for the lack of views (and I don’t think there really is much lakefront dining here). They do offer some gluten-free bread options, and do have a couple vegan options, but nothing that is gluten-free and vegan. Knowledgeable and extremely friendly staff will help you select your order as well as engaged in witty banter. Definitely recommend making the trip!

Had 2 nites of take out from this very nice little restaurant in downtown Cooperstown. The food was very good and staff friendly and helpful with my gluten free needs

Every summer we drive to Origins Cafe in Cooperstown for delicious food and beautiful plants/flowers. It is a wonderful place for brunch/lunch all served in their open lush greenhouse. We love their refreshing iced herbal hibiscus 🌺 tea. Also, gluten free and vegan options available as well as local goat cheese from the painted goat farm. The energy is amazing here.
