Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Cleveland

Briana Gamble

I want to love Town Hall, as someone who has food allergies (gluten, dairy, & soy), but the last 2 times my order was made wrong. Both times they contained one of my allergies - the first time a burger came with cheese and the second time I was given the keto bun instead of the gluten free bun which contains dairy. The first time it was refunded since I was already home. The second time I was close by when I realized and they made it again. Food allergies are nothing to mess with though and to advertise as accommodating but consistently make food wrong is very frustrating. There’s clearly a lack of knowledge from staff or protocols are lacking.

By far the best gluten free pizza I’ve had in Ohio! Fun spot open late on the weekends.

Scott Frank CR

We took a chance and stopped for brunch. Both of us are gluten free and the food was fantastic. The service was excellent as well!! Definitely recommend the brisket.

Crypto Knockout

Fantastic Gluten-free Pancakes

Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. The food was fresh and tasted good. They have good milkshakes as well.

Marvin J. Miller

Great service, excellent food, generous portions, friendly staff, gluten free.

Jamie Hamrick

They have Celiac safe gluten free options! The server was phenomenal! We loved her sense of humor and insight on various dishes and beverages. We will definitely be back!

Went here after finding out one of our favorite restaurants in Cleveland was closed. Was really looking forward to trying this place as we always go up to cleveland and pass this place. The only good thing about this place was the view from the table. Food was pricey, and the menu was hard to read if you didn't know Spanish. They do offer gluten-free and vegan options. The food was not as good as I was hoping. The meat in the tacos was really weird and tasted dried. One of the people I was with ordered the burrito which had bison shoulder in the burrito and said the meat was veiny. Our drinks were filled up once right before we left due to our waitor not wanting to come back to our table. The booth we were sat in had a big tear and was wondering how that was possible when the food was so overpriced. The plates that had our food was on was chipped in areas. Super disappointed! Will not be back!

Clean cozy and welcoming. Has a table for 8 plus a few smaller tables for 2. The price was average for a small Independent coffee spot. Gluten free bakery items on hand usually

Julie Famulare

Food is outstanding, we ate both breakfast and dinner here. The portion sizes are large, I highly recommend the hummus, it was delicious! They also have gluten free bread and rolls which was a bonus!

Sallie Ferlotti

We went to cheese school at Astoria! The cheese monger was sooo knowledgeable and energetic. The service was great. They accommodated my gluten free request. A very fun and delicious evening!

Elicia P

Great food. Made fresh. Has gluten free and vegan options. The bread and slather are always a great choice. Offers a kids menu. Does sell alcohol. Nice small patio with picnic tables. Service is hit or miss. Can order take out.

Laurie Judson, REALTOR

Very cute place, I would love to hang out there but I was just moving through and grabbed a cinnamon sugar cookie that happened to be gluten free. If they make a cookie that dope, I figure I need to come back for some coffee!! It was THAT good! Thanks y’all ❤️❤️🙏

A cute taco place that has a build your own style of taco menu. This was my second time visiting while in Cleveland. I better understood what to order. I personally had a shrimp taco and the steak taco and a basic ground sirloin beef taco. Being gluten free I selected the gluten free corn hard shells. They were some of the best I've had. Both taco combinations I created were good. The shrimp I wish I would have gotten 2 of instead of the ground sirloin. I wasn't a huge fan of the meat. I am also very picky about my ground beef and it was not for me. I added the cilantro lime aoli cream and quesa fresca cheese to my shrimp taco. My only complaint would be, they barely put any cheese on it. I almost thought my tacos didn't have any on them. The steak was slightly tough but not bad. I probably wouldn't get it again. I'd definitely order the shrimp combo again and try another combination. They offer a lot of variety in meats and toppings for the taco. You can also get them in a bowl. I didn't order one but their margarita flights looked yummy. Definitely recommend this place if you are in downtown Cleveland. My sister order the chips and queso dip and I tried the queso and it was good.

We were in Cleveland for a quick trip and needed a good restaurant for gluten-free food. I googled restaurants on our path, and this restaurant was suggested. We arrived about 1pm and did not have to wait to be seated. Our server, Bianka, immediately came to take care of us. She very thoroughly went over gluten-free options and even checked with the kitchen to make sure what we wanted was gluten-free. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but when we got it, we understood. This was hands down the best lunch we have ever had. My mom had the burger and fries. She said they were the best fries she had ever had. I had the lamb stew, and I was in food heaven. Overall, this was an amazing experience. We lived the atmosphere, our server, and the food. We will be back.

We enjoy coming here from time to time. In general, we’ve had good service, and the food has always been very tasty and reasonably priced. Parking is along the streets, but can be very close by. In nice weather, there is an outside patio area for seating under an awning, like many cafés in France. There are two main dining areas inside, a smaller cafe-like area and larger, more decorative dining room through a doorway. The dishes we had were not available in the selections list on Google. Those included le Champions (mushrooms) Bourguignon and the Crepe d’Ratatouille (vegetable stew) in a buckwheat crepe (gluten free). The latter has cheese, though I believe they would prepare it without cheese if asked. Our server was efficient and courteous. Getting older now and being later evening, I opted for decaf coffee, which wasn’t the best; it may be the worst thing I’ve had there, but is the exception overall.

Lindsey Whitticar

Had a great lunch that was vegan and gluten free. We came up with substitutes for the fries since it was a shared fryer. The impossible burger was amazing.

Donald Ward

I have visited Punch Bowl Social for the second time and I will definitely be returning again! The service is excellent and the food is amazing! They offer a wide variety of gluten-free options on their menu.

Alex Bigelow

Travel from sandusky to get these tacos on the regular. Amazing tacos and the staff has always been super welcoming. My husband has celiac disease and has never had a reaction as well.

Raygan Bingham

Ramin is the most amazing waiter and was so considerate about the gluten intolerances at our table. Amazing food and service!!

Brandis Turnbull

We decided to go for the two most decadent sounding appetizers. Both the Krab Fries and Fried Green Tomatoes were not only amazing, not only vegan but also GLUTEN FREE. The fried green tomatoes were perfectly crisp, and the accompanying sauces and garnish were heavenly. The KRAB FRIES 🤤🤤🤤🤤🥲 literally brought a tear to my eye. I don't know what is in that cream sauce, but it tastes like the fanciest seafood chowder and really makes the dish. After devouring the generously portioned noshes, we decided to order the polenta grits and cheesecake to-go. Both were wonderful, and we will definitely return.

Logan Carr

Visited Der Braumeister with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday - it was a great experience! She has a gluten allergy, and we were super excited to see how many options she had on both the expansive food and drink menus. Our dinners were delicious and our server Angie was wonderful.

Located in Ohio City just across the bridge from downtown jaja is not just a restaurant, it's a culinary experience and it's my new standard for what I think a 10/10 dining experience should be. The ambiance was mid century with South American flair all brightly lit and airy thanks to a full ceiling greenhouse roof that I'm told was retractable 🤯. The service was impeccable, from the moment we got off the elevator we were greeted by the attentive wait staff who were very knowledgeable about the menu and offered genuine recommendations. Every aspect of the dining experience is thoughtfully executed. The menu had so many carefully crafted dishes, even the flavors that would seem like a bad pairing melded together perfectly on the taste buds. I am happy it was a small plate serving style so we could try as many dishes as we could. I was most impressed with the goat cheese dates and Eggplant spread. I would recommend jaja to anyone looking for a date night spot or a small group gathering, their menu also denotes which dishes contained dairy, gluten, and nuts.

Cafe inside Rays Indoor MTB Park was Gypsy Beans! Friendly staff at this location. Coffee was great. Gluten free options but nothing dairy free. They do have some vegan burrito but no idea what it consisted of. Baked goods looked SO yummy.

Lia Atchison

All around a great place for a casual dining experience. Love the food, especially the variety of burgers and unique toppings. Thank you for the gluten free options. They have awesome GF buns.

Eve Nicholas

I love this place! The food here is extremely healthy and very accommodating to my dietary restrictions including gluten and dairy. The staff is so welcoming and nice and made the entire experience so much better. 10/10 would come back.

Jordan Kern

Great place with wonderful people. I go there quite a bit for their breakfast and am always pleased. My goto is the Marc's Brothers. They carry gluten free bread which is a rarity for most establishments. I must also admit their sausage is better than Bob Evan's! If you go you must try their pancakes and waffles as well. They are excellent.

Kate London

A lovely place with excellent Mexican inspired foods. They label gluten free on the menu which is amazing.

Liz Weber

Food and service were excellent. The waiter and kitchen were super accommodating of my gluten free diet. They made the pasta special with gluten free noodles, and it was delicious. I’ll definitely be back again.

Parker Wilson

What a special place! We came for a medical visit and left with full bellies and happy hearts. Amazing service, above and beyond kindness and EPIC food! Gluten free magic too!

Sirius Infernal

I absolutely LOVE it here. My husband and I just recently discovered 27 Club after picking up the latest copy of Scene Magazine. Due to medical conditions, I frustratingly have to avoid both gluten and dairy. This limits my options at most restaurants & cafes. When I saw the menu here, I was stunned. We got a Margherita pizza with vegan cheese and gluten free crust…it was the best I’ve ever had! My husband, who does NOT have dietary restrictions, said he couldn’t even tell that it was gluten free or dairy free. The drinks are gorgeous. I highly recommend the pink milk latte with oat milk! Make sure you pick up some merch and do not miss the vegan + gluten free desserts that are on the counter, off to the side. We tried the donuts and not only were they tasty, but they weren’t too heavy. I left feeling great. This is a must-visit for the sensitive stomach girlies! Parking is surprisingly decent for the location. Atmosphere is social media worthy and very on brand for MGK. Already looking forward to going back.

Ludmila McNeeley

Everything here was exceptional! The food , the service, and the atmosphere. The kitchen and staff went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy and even prepared GF bread to accompany my salad. Definitely recommend and hope to return soon

Bob Dobbs

Good selection of German cuisine. Excellent beer selection. Excellent waitstaff. Slightly overpriced for what you get but near to Playhouse Square so not unexpected. Surprising amount of gluten-free items if that is your need or preference.

Shalon Rogers

Wow! Wow! Wow! AMAZING! So worth it! Doesn't matter what u order- it's worth it! The restaurant is very clean and everyone who works there is very clean, very friendly, very professional! Endless amount of bread and butter- They have Gluten Free bread as well- which I had to get- so good Our waiter was CELO .. talk about a great waiter! This guy was so helpful with everything- so polite- ask him what he recommends and he has alittle to say about it all- the owner?! Well I had the absolute pleasure of meeting him tonight! He must be a great boss cuz the staff was on it and smiling and communicating- and he was so pleasant to speak with. A gentle soul all of them are! Truly appreciate how well our date night went- we couldn't have asked for a better time or better food- check out these great pics- the goat cheese salad was my fav! Thanks again to the owner for the idea but the staff as well for making it all happen- you guys are such a great team! We'll be back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We were greeted by Danita who was very polite and welcoming. She made small talk and did he job as a hostess. Our server Laura, who was very attentive, guided us through the menu and also made sure to address my gluten restrictions. It's the small things that really speak volumes. The restaurant was pretty dead for a Saturday night. There were just two other tables besides us. We started with the truffle parmessan Brussel Sprouts and they were delicious. I ordered the Grilled Akura Salmon. I would say that it was a solid 6. Basically it's just a grilled piece of Salmon with asparagus on a top of a saffron corn cream which was not very flavorful. My friend got a black bean burger and she seemed to have enjoyed it. We also got a few drinks. Initially we got the turn which was okay. If you like a good balance of liquor to mix I would stay away from this. The simple syrup took over the flavor. My friend Initially ordered The Cle upon the servers suggestion but it was really sour. She ended up ordering Summer Thyme in Cleveland and she suggested that I bet the Blueberry Hill since the Turn was just subpar and I want drinking it. I told her that I was fine and didn't want to send it back but ended up ordering the blueberry hill which was really good if you like bourbon. Overall the experience and great and the atmosphere was very nice though people checking into the hotel did get a bit annoying.

We have had good coffee and scones and gluten free muffins here. We appreciate the local shop. We wish we could do self serve cream but otherwise it’s fabulous here.

Karen F

If you have any dietary restrictions I would not recommend going here. I have dietary restrictions; no butter, gluten, potatoes and the chef was unwilling to change how she prepared the food per our server. They wouldn’t even change the potatoes for broccolini. Very disappointing as I am always up to try new places, but unfortunately they would not meet my dietary restriction needs. I will not be returning.

Lauren Oppedisano

Very pricey but they take your allergens seriously and are happy to make you just about anything in a safe way

A flavorful extravaganza! Cordelia is one of the most underrated restaurants in Cleveland, period. It has been a few years since I've been on East 4th Street. I remember this used to be Lola's, which had an incredible duck dish. Cordelia's belly-up menu is sensational. It's a six to eight course meal. Each dish is brought out by a chef as they describe in detail exactly how the food was prepared and what to expect while eating it. This was my first time dining here and I was not disappointed. This is a from scratch kitchen so each dish is prepared to order and the menu is constantly changing so week to week or month to month the flavors will vary. This is definitely an experience you have to try more than once throughout the year and season to see what intensely bold and flavorful concoctions the chefs will curate for your dining experience. The ambiance was perfect for us millennials as they were playing early 2000s and 90s hip-hop and R&B. It felt like we were getting our own personalized concert as we were just jamming and enjoying some great quality food. With so many amazing entrees, the highlight for the evening for me was certainly the lamb that was perfectly seasoned. Easily the most succulent protein that I've ever had. Each bite melted into your mouth and the dish was paired alongside a bed of roasted carrots with a yogurt sauce that was a great complement. Right when I thought the savory floodgates were over they brought out their signature pork belly. Which by this point our belly’s were quite literally up and over or belts with no room left. They kindly boxed up the last entree for us and brought out the final course. The first dessert we shared a gluten free pudding with rice cake, caramel and bit of an espresso topping. The second dessert was an all spice forward ice cream with apples and puff pastry. Both delicious. It was a delightful and truly one of a kind experience right in the heart of downtown Cleveland. That’s enough reading long reviews lol go reserve a table now and bring all the appetite you can muster; you’re going to need it.

Don't be turned off by the quirky ordering system--you get a menu at your table and then order both your drinks and food at the hostess station--this place is WORTH IT. Modern, clean, cool staff, varied menu. Our family of vegetarians (including one gluten free) had our stomachs stuffed and our taste buds rocked. I've had a lot of house-made veggie burgers (usually soggy black bean paste); this was BY FAR the best veggie burger I've had. It was just like a Big Mac. The roasted Brussels sprouts were amazing. Just an incredible culinary experience. Do I wish they had table service? Yes, because I'm lazy. But, push through your laziness and embrace this place. Best food I've had in a looooong time.

Todd Morrison

Top notch. Vegan, gluten free, and meat options. Everyone could eat happy here

Jenny donahue

This is such a cute place to dine!! The atmosphere is very comfortable & cozy with much appealing decor to look at, including artwork from the owner! The food is delicious with perfect portions! They WANT to know your food allergies and are very accommodating. I am dairy free, gluten free, potato free, and corn free, and had zero issues finding anything I could eat right off their menu. The owner is so super friendly & wonderful! Highly recommend!!

Jenna Kuschmeader

I need gluten free options and they delivered! Food was so good and great portions!

Ben Sager

This place is very nice. Very accommodating and knowledgeable of gluten free. The manager even made sure the remade my breakfast sandwich when they realized it was cut with the wrong knife. I would recommend to anyone for breakfast or brunch.

Taylor Freeman

Kis was great! I have a gluten intolerance and she went above and beyond to make sure my tacos were safe for me! She was very friendly and explained everything very well!!!

Lauren CT

I love this spot! It has a warm and inviting vibe. The food is so fresh and delicious. The cocoa chai was incredible. The staff is very accommodating to my gluten free, dairy free dietary restrictions. I highly recommend!

Helen Ertin

So to be fair, I’ve never actually been here in person - BUT I had a coupon for DoorDash and I stumbled upon Milk + Honey. I was so happy to see they offer gluten-free options! The drinks are BEYOND beautiful and delicious. The breakfast bagels are reasonably priced. If you love coffee and tea, you’ll love the creative drinks!

Laura

Loved this place. Amazing coffee with house made cashew milk, cold pressed juices and gluten free and vegan options.
