Top 37 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Raleigh

Lynn Sanguedolce

This is a fun place to go with great gluten free options for Italian food. My server had celiac disease and was very knowledgeable. I have been here a few times and not had any problems here.

Linda Sullivan

Have gluten-free food that passes muster even for people with celiac disease. Such restaurants are not easy to find. Maybe we celiac sufferers who enjoy eating out can share our GF restaurant experiences.

Dan Sheehan

This is a great spot for food allergies. My wife had a fried chicken sandwich which was gluten free and she was in heaven. I had their signature black bean burger and the jalapeno jam was very tasty.

Meg Cosgrove

Everything was wonderful. They were able to work with our food allergies without issue. They accommodated gluten free, nut free, and even a garlic free guest! Room is beautiful, staff was on top of everything, would definitely recommend.

So I have autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease and that means gluten and me do not get along at all. This place has great gluten free reviews and was super excited coming here. Well now I am about ready to lose my mind. I asked my usual questions concerning gluten free items and preparations for their food/drinks. I ordered a CIDER and got served a BEER without hesitation. This is actually absurd. When somebody asks you about gluten free items and safety precautions and then immediately within 2 minutes get served a gluten containing item, it’s just actually ridiculous. The server was apologetic and kind but not knowing the difference between beer and cider is disheartening.

Food was good. We got their beignets and some breakfast stacker crepes. My Celiac wife forgot to tell them that she was gluten free so they had to remake the dish for her. They were very nice about it. Only reason for lack of star was server wasn’t very attentive and forgot silverware

Bethany Bishop

Celiac friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination and were able to highlight everything on the menu that I could eat. Delicious food and good atmosphere.

Donna Shultz

Such a wonderful eclectic coffee shop with all gluten free treats. I got the lavender cardamon scone that was delicious!! The cinnamon sugar oatmilk latte was yummy, too.

Let me just say- a cafe that is SPACIOUS, open EVERY DAY until 8pm, has tons of flavors, is affordable, GREAT service!!!! this was my first time here and i got a cold brew with sugar free chocolate and raspberry it was SO GOOD!! i am gluten free and appreciated the separate case for gf items, but unfortunate it all contains nuts so i wasn’t able to try any of it… however it looks fantastic!!!

Service and food were great! My only disappointment is that HQ is changing their menu and taking several items off including one of my favorite gluten free foods…street noodles.

John Yates

I want to start by saying, we really liked the restaurant and food was great! Their gluten free bread was really good also. The reason for the 3 star review though is solely based on our experience with the waitress. When we ordered I ordered their Turkey club, hella good btw, and asked for gluten free bread. I then asked for the french fries. Her body language and attitude immediately changed very aggressively and replied, “I can’t give you that” I asked why, and she said “because they’re fried in the same oil as other things”. I then tried to explain that I have more of a gluten intolerance and would be fine. I live with it and know my body. “She then got even more rude and defensive and said “ Well I will not be responsible if you get sick then” I have never been treated like that over gluten before. I greatly appreciate the concern she was trying to convey however the level of rude and tone of talking to me like a child was extremely off putting and honestly will never go back there because of her. We genuinely really loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant until her. Maybe she was having a bad day but to be nice and friendly and then a complete 180 difference was extremely disappointing.

I love popping in to Centro for lunch. Great, quick service, and reliably awesome food. The flautas and tacos are my favorites - and they even have a gluten free fried chicken taco which is so so good!

Susan Rodriguez

I’m a vegetarian, and the main menu has almost no meat-free dishes—but Winston’s actually is vegetarian friendly as long as you say something to the waiter. They have a complete alternative menu available: the front lists vegetarian and vegan dishes, and the back has gluten-free dishes. I can’t speak to the gluten-free options, but the vegan and vegetarian choices are excellent!

Dawn Lineman

Love that it’s completely gluten free I have celiac and anxiety when trying new places but my biggest concern was what to eat I chose the khalessi bowl and hot mocha omg soooo gooooo if you like clean juice you will love this my partner had avacado toast and couldn’t tell it was gf wish I lived closer

This was my first visit to Bad Daddy's. I have Celiac disease, so gluten free options are extremely important to me, and it's a real treat for me to have a proper burger-in-a-bun rather than a lettuce wrap, even if it is a GF bun (they tend to fall apart without gluten to hold them together; no fault of the restaurant). My burger was delicious; I'll definitely come back when I need a burger fix. However, my review is mixed because I found the ambience lacking - the music was loud and of what I considered to be an obnoxious selection (personal taste, I know, but hey, it's my review). Also my menu was dirty, which was a real turn-off. A few customer-focused tweaks and it could be a five-star experience for me, but currently it's not.

Tracie Lane

The best grits and eggs I've had in years. I also loved the gluten-free waffle. But what I loved most is the premise behind this place.

Christina Lamia

I’m so happy to have a vegan place so close to home and that they also have gluten free options as well! My personal favorite thing to order is the chorizo tacos, they are so flavorful and delicious. Love this place!

Brian Hamrick

Dinner was amazing! Lots of great food. Lots of gluten-free options. Taylor was fantastic!

Lauren Strickland

Amazing service with Daniel, he was very attentive, fast, and friendly. Great food as always, cooked well and not a long wait. Great options for gluten free, both mains and sides.

Denise Donohue

My family had an amazing meal at Cowfish. As someone with gluten sensitivity, it's so hard to find safe foods. It was very comforting when the waitress asked if anyone had allergies before even taking our drink orders. The menu has something for everyone & there are some very interesting combinations. All-in-all, the food was delicious & the atmosphere was very fun & celebratory. We had a wonderful time!

Rachel Whalen

I found my new go-to spot! I'm looking for healthy spots to eat (mainly gluten free and dairy free options). The food at Happy & Hale is not only healthy and meets my dietary needs but it's also SO DELICIOUS! Everyone working at this location is extremely friendly and makes you feel really welcome and at home. I met the owner and he's super friendly as well! Try JP's gluten free desserts - you will not be disappointed!

Karen Gonzalez

Brunch is LEGIT, and very reasonable on the price index , Dinner on the other hand is more fine dining. However it worth it, especially those with dietary restriction like vegetarian or Gluten free

Jayme Berggren

Food was delicious! We had 3 different chicken dishes. And three different desserts! Service was excellent ! All of the food items were gluten free except for Chili Naam! We were given extra chili sauce to accommodate different palates!

Angela Moretto

I am gluten free and the server marked which ones I would not be able to eat , which was only three. The food all tasted good however it was never hot. Everything was luke warm to almost cold. The atmosphere was trendy and loud. We had to raise our voices to hear each other. Between the two of us, we ordered 6 small plates and it was just enough. The service was on the slow side but overall we had a wonderful night.

Paul Priestley

Margarita pizza was amazing on the gluten free crust! Service was awesome as was the buffet.

Matt Coty

Amazing food! Great Gluten Free options and accommodations! Alexis is the sweetest and super helpful!! I’ve had her twice now and can’t wait to come back again!

GLUTEN FREE BUNS! (+$3 for GF bun) EXCELLENT BURGERS! I ordered a build your own with Swiss cheese, sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms, and garlic mayo and smoked mayo as my two condiments. Everything is just bursting with flavor. I agree with another reviewer, you can taste the quality. Both mayos were delicious, but the garlic mayo stole the show. My family is convinced this is the best burger place in town and it has become our go-to for burgers. Indoor and outdoor seating, or you can sit at the bar. We usually enjoy the outdoor seating.

Donna Dixon (MeandQt)

Food and staff were excellent! Another place that is gluten free friendly! Loved it will be back again.

Overall: A This is one of the few places that I’ve had the chance to visit at several locations and the experience has been amazing each time. I’ve come with friends or one on one with my wife, it’s been great each time. Food: A+ The food is excellent for breakfast and brunch. It makes it also a great healthy choice if you want gluten free choices (they can accommodate you). Service: A The service was great and friendly. We didn’t have to wait to be seated. Honestly, that depends on the location and when you decide to arrive. But the hostess was friendly and welcoming with a big smile. The staff at this location seem to be young and energetic. The food didn’t take too long to come out and was very attentive to our needs. Ambiance: A It’s a very casual place. No need to dress up. Lively, but not too noisy. The music is there but not too noticeable. Big windows that let a lot of natural light in. We’ve eaten both outside and inside; you will enjoy it either way. Price: B+ Obviously, perception of price is relative depending on your income. But I’ve been to couple similar style restaurants, and I would say that the price could be perceived as a little high to some for just breakfast. For two, you might pay around $45-60 (tips included). Parking: B At this particular location, parking is somewhat difficult because there aren’t that many parking spots in front of the restaurant. But there’s a big parking lot several feet away, so it’s not too bad. Restroom: N/A Unfortunately, I’ve never been to the restroom each time we’ve visited so I can’t speak on that. The whole place seems to be well cleaned and maintained. Overall score: A Highly recommend this place! 😊 P.S. Our server name was Jacob (with glasses). Very nice guy!

Grace Lee

Ally was the best server ever. She was very attentive and so sweet ! Also loved the gluten friendly menu options :)

Alyssa

I've been here before a year ago or so, the service and atmosphere are wonderful, I really enjoy eating there! I got the smoked salmon frittata and it was delicious! I had to ask for a bit more salad dressing, but our server was very kind and was happy to get me some more. The reason I've given the good a low review isn't because it's bad, but because they've gotten rid of their gluten free/friendly options (still have gf toast though, it was pretty good). I was super excited to go back and even more so when I saw all the delicious Fall options for pancakes, only to find out they no longer had the option to make them gf. I hope to hear they reintroduce that in the future.

Leyla Pinsent

Love this place! It’s a perfect spot of girl’s night. You can sit with your friends and leisurely enjoy a great night of food and drinks. One of my friends was also gluten free and they were very diligent on making sure nothing got cross contaminated for her.

Julia Pedroza

Absolutely love this place. Wish we could get here more often (and that they had non gluten-free coffee cake 😂)

Emily Coser

We love First Watch! It's a go-to breakfast place for our family of 3. Good service, delicious food, fun specials. Keto and gluten free options for the days we don't want to go carb heavy. Highly recommend!

Olivia Obeng

This place really is great! It's nice that it can fit a party that's big or small. There's even a long table inside that can genuinely fit about 16ish people, I didn't count exactly but was really impressed with it. The food was also great- I loved all the Dim Sum and the non-alcoholic drinks. They have a lot of gluten free options also, which is super nice!

Chuck Farruggia

The food and service were AWESOME!!! My wife has a gluten allergy and they were great in helping her pick food she colud eat!!! Thank you so much!!!

Chris Kwon

The empanadas are really great and delicious! They also serves gluten free option

Amy R

I have always loved this place they meet gluten and vegetarian digestions. Their menu is short yet diverse and they change it on a regular basis. The quality of food is good. However, the portions can be on the smaller side, but is plenty enough for me not likely to have any to take home

Marc Denning

Delicious food and classy atmosphere. Loved that the dishes were clearly labeled for those with vegan and gluten free constraints.

Khalisa Rae

one of my favorite restaurants. great gluten free options. warm and welcoming. ive only gotten sick once from the tortilla soup so if you have celiacs, i would stay away from it.

Julia

I love Heirloom and their gluten free mochi donuts

Floating On

Got their unique pork burger with the candied bacon and blueberry ketchup on a gluten free bun. It was absolute perfection and a great size. Gf bun was also good. Not the Udi brand that falls apart. Gf crème brûlée Cheesecake was also good. Thank you!

Sam Hebda

AMAZING food here!! 10/10 would recommend. The staff is awesome, they have tons of options, and the gluten free buns are DELICIOUS 😋

Joshua England

They have exceptional, consistent food. On top of that, they are very knowledge of gluten free options and what you can/can't order. Recommended!

Divinity

I've ate here a few times in the last 2 weeks (near my work), and I have no complaints so far, the servers are very sweet and attentive, no hostile feelings apart from some glares from the customers(which is the only negative thing if u stand out somehow), other than that, they treat you well, and the food is good, the prices aren't too bad either. They even have a gluten free menu!!

Laura Bernhard

Love this place! The gluten-free wraps are delicious!

M Alex

Went here for the first time and wasn’t expecting much but it was GREAT. My spouse is Italian and very picky and also enjoyed it. We’ve tried lots of Italian places in Raleigh area and this is the best. Excited to bring my friends with dietary needs here as well because apparently they also have gluten free options I’m very picky about my Alfredo (for some reason most restaurants have such bland Alfredo) but their Cajun pasta with Alfredo was very flavorful. The penne vodka is their most popular dish for good reason and also very flavorful. I also enjoyed their steak and cheese during lunch

Jessica Faulconer

Made a reservation at 7pm on a Saturday night. Got to our table on time however we waited 50 mins for our entrees to come out. The burger was extremely disappointing…super dry and the gluten free bun was ROCK hard. I could not eat it. I asked to order a new entree but they said I would wait 30-45 more mins. Totally unacceptable. They waived our bill but I am still disappointed to leave just as hungry as I did when I got there. The server was nice but did not try to fix the situation. We will not be returning.

József Darabánt

This place is simply awesome, the burger was Great, and they offer gluten free buns to them. Definitely will return for another one!
