Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Rhode Island

Liz Purvis

We were in the area and looking for somewhere tasty to go for lunch, and after seeing the reviews, we decided we wanted to come to blackies! Even though we were a walk in, they were able to accommodate us and accommodate us, they did. Most of the menu can be made GF, and there are pages, upon pages to this menu. Not only did I enjoy my meal (I got the French Onion Cheesesteak with Fries and it was SUPERB 🤌🏽), but my gluten eating family also had a meal. My Dad even said it was the BEST Ruben he's ever had (and he loves a ruben). Since it was our first time there, our wonderful server was able to field all of my GF/Celiac-related questions with ease. The restaurant is owned by two lovely women: one of whom has Celiac. They have dedicated fryers, AND they have separate kitchen tools (knives, utensils, cutting boards, aprons, etc.) for the preparation of GF meals. On top of all that, my food was brought out FIRST and SEPARATELY. Our server even brought out a new bottle of ketchup with my food so that there wasn't any CC. I felt so well taken care of by the staff, and so safe while we were there, it was a new level of Celiac-care in this dining experience. I cannot more highly recommend blackies if you're ever in RI/Providence!!!

100% dedicated gluten free. Local family with Italian roots, also has some dairy free. Cookies, cupcakes, fried donuts, assorted bread and rolls.

Keri-Ann Kreyssig

Great service and extensive Gluten Free Menu - even desserts!

Leslie Gluten Free Finds

Separate gluten-free menu, many options, great procedures, bring gluten-free food out separately. A really fun atmosphere and a great dining experience.

My family went to Rhode Roots for the first time yesterday and were very impressed. A++ all around. My wife has celiac disease and finding gluten free safe restaurants with such an extensive menu can be challenging. We tried the clam cakes and chowder and and they were delicious. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to go back and try some other items on the menu.

Ron Baker

A large selection of gluten-free foods.

Sheree Varner

Had the gluten free French toast. It was hands down one of the best I’ve had. Great vibe there. Everyone loved their dishes. Highly recommend. If we are ever back we will return

francesca marotta

Separate gluten free menu

Allie Bartlett

We had Toni, and if you want an amazing, relatable waitress that will go above and beyond for you every step of the way, REQUEST TONI. This is my go-to gluten free and allergen-safe restaurant. Did I mention that the ENTIRE MENU can be made gluten free? THANK YOU TONI AND 110 GRILL for the best birthday! We WILL be back and requesting TONI. <3

Tara Ducharme

The lobster nachos are outstanding!!

Tree Ferran

Had a great quick lunch at Drift. Gluten free options and allergy accommodation. Highly recommend “island time”!

I’ve come to Plant City several times- but my most recent experience was just incredible and has prompted me to write a review. I got the T-BLAT (blt with shiitake mushroom bacon) on gluten free bread and my, my it was DIVINE! The bread was so good for being gluten free and the filling was decadent, nicely filled with lettuce, and a nice balance of spice, saltiness and creaminess from the chipotle mayo and avocado. I highly recommend. They also have a wide variety of hot/iced drinks, as well as a to go food counter with food like sushi and noodles, and many gluten free pastries. I also really love their grocery section with many high quality plant based foods and other snacks. The cafe itself is also just very relaxing and nice with lots of natural light and comfortable seating. I LOVE plant city!

Chad Wetmore

Wow! The staff at this bakery is incredibly friendly and polite. The store itself is spotless and well-maintained. I tried the Cupcake of the Day, which was a Pineapple Dolewhip flavor, and it was absolutely delicious. It tasted like summer in a cupcake! They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, including gluten-free options. I will definitely be returning to try more of their cupcakes.

Kathryn Sheehan

One of my absolute favorite brunch spots!! A good chunk of the menu can be made gluten free, and friend options are truly gluten free too! Try the horchata with your brunch!

Alexis Rhoades

They had AWESOME gluten free options!!!! Staff is very knowledgeable to food allergies, servers are quick and very kind! Jennifer B was our server is PHENOMENAL!

Kelly Simmons

I wish I had known that their gluten free options were not the same as their on the menu options. I had heard the restaurant had a separate frier for gluten free orders and was so excited to try a new seafood spot, however the fried cod reuben I received was a cold batterless cod salad. The tarter sauce was more like a thin mayonnaise which soaked through the bread making it impossible to take out of the container. Beautiful establishment and friendly staff, but misleading info online led to an overall unpleasant experience.

Jeff Savarino

Best Indian food in Providence among a few other strong choices. Lots of gluten free options.

Kaz Childs

Incredible. Top notch service. Knowledgeable staff. So many food choices! So many gluten-free options, with no sacrifice on flavor

Ashley Alden

Have eaten here many times and mentioned that I have celiac disease. Great place and food and did not get sick.

Amelia Gleyzer

Omg I loved this restaurant so much! They are so accommodating because my mom and I couldn’t have gluten, rice, beans, or corn so they let us know what everything we thought about ordering had before we ordered it. The oysters are the BEST, and I had the king crab which was so good and so filling. My mom ordered the blackened yellowfin tuna which was also so good. Delicious food and great service 10/10. Many servers came over to check on us to see if everything was okay. There are a few places to sit: under the tent, sun room, bar, upstairs. Nice view from each seat but mostly the sun room. Definitely will be coming back when I’m in Rhode Island again.

Kathy Danis

Nearly all items on the extensive menu can be made gluten free. I had fish and chips! Which was excellent. The fish was so fresh and tender, the chips were chip/French fries. I also got a little loaf of gluten free bread! Also amazing with the cinnamon maple butter. And if you are so fortunate enough to have the server Julianne, your whole experience will be made better. You will leave feeling happier and know she truly cared about your food and dining experience. Her knowledge about gluten free food, caring attitude and willingness to go above and beyond should well be noted. I love, love love everything about this restaurant and can't wait to go back, and hope that Julianne will be working. A++++

Tina Smrkovski

The gluten free Belgian waffle was amazing, and they had a large menu of Benny's and omelettes.

Lindsay Timko

I love this place…. they were one of the first restaurants to get on-board with having gluten-free options several years ago. Prices are a little high, but all prices are a little high. I love all the artwork they have displayed everywhere. I definitely recommend this place. ❤️

E S

Restaurant was clean and well lit. Staff was friendly and very accommodating to dietary needs. Large selection of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free items. Food was delicious with a wide flavor profile and range of heat. Prices were not prohibitive. Parking can be a little challenging if you are not from the area.

D Williams

Went to The Beach Rose Cafe for a meeting, and employees Paula and Brooke were amazing. They have great customer service and made you feel at home. They prepared the food in a timely manner and it was like eating home! ( GREAT TASTE AND PORTION). They give healthy options for food such Gluten Free and clean protein shakes. We'll definitely come again!!!!🎊🤙🏽

Beth Newberry

This was our first time at Somo, we will definitely be returning. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. My godson has a gluten allergy and they checked everything for us and made it delicious. He said it was the best eel he had ever had, it was soft. The sushi chef let him watch the preparation of the rolls and described everything he was doing. Everything was amazing! I also loved mine.

Thales Da Riva

Delicious food and coffees, love the Gluten-free options

Lisa Mayberry

Everything was good except for the grilled octopus which I sent back because you couldn't even chew it. Second time was better but still just ok. But the standout here was the gluten-free lamb poutine, everyone loved that!

Brianne Holds

Had the tiramisu and the gluten free corn muffin. Both very good. And the staff was quick, attentive, and very kind.

Peter Hill

This is a favourite of mine for after kayaking. I avoid gluten and dairy, so I am quiet pleased with the selection of gluten-free vegan muffins. Great coffee too!

Jessica Toussaint

By far one of my favorite breakfast places. The food here never disappoints and there are so many gluten free options.

S L

This place is such a hidden gem!!! I stumbled in after my intended coffee shop down the street was too crowded, and boy am i glad I did. Shastea offers a wide range of customizable teas, with seemingly myriad flavors, caffeine levels, and tea types - white, green, herbal, etc - to choose from. There was also a great selection of sweet and savory crepes which could be made gluten free!! I had the loveliest morning sipping my herbal latte, snacking on a guava crepe, and doing some work in the quiet back room. A great place to study - I will definitely be returning!

Debra Duquette

Tasty vegan food, with options for gluten free. I'd love to see them offer more low/no carb options. The food I got was delicious. The Miso Soup was amazing.

Kat Jones

Consistently delicious! Amazing coffee & gluten free lobster benedict.

Ashleigh Beland

I am allergic to gluten. They were so kind making me feel safe to eat there. Food was Amazing, so was our server!

Morgan Thornberry

I went for the special Irish breakfast on a weekday shortly before St. Patrick’s Day. The corned beef dinner knocked my socks off with how smooth it was! Just really commendable that a special could be so perfect. And for just $25! Sat at the chef’s counter and saw the care and cooperation with which dishes were being prepared. Server was friendly, charming, and knowledgeable about gluten restrictions. Service did seem a tad disorganized. I noticed plates sit on the counter for maybe 3-5 minutes before they went to tables.

Annelise Freund

Been here twice with a severe gluten allergy. Haven't gotten sick yet and it's simply delicious

alexia martin

One of the best Italian restaurants in Rhode Island! The atmosphere and food are both amazing. I got the bolognese and haven’t had one that good in a while. My mother is also gluten free and we all agreed her food was amazing (she got short ribs). They even brought out gf bread for her that was so warm and fluffy. Also had the blood orange martini and chocolate espresso martini which were both 10/10! Will be back soon

Jacquelyn Mello

I’ve never written a review on here- that’s how much I love this restaurant. The food is amazing every time I go there, also it’s the only place where I’ll move out of my comfort zone and try new things because he’s that good. I love the family oriented staff, their hospitality and authentic genuine personalities. I eat healthy and gluten free food and they go above and beyond to offer beautiful options. I just wanted to leave this review to show my appreciation for them. Thank you for taking care of my family and infusing your food/art with so much love 🙏❤️

todd souza

We have never had a bad experience with JB's on the water. Every meal is delicious and fresh. From the Chef to the managers and servers always a five star experience. Lobster Flatbread, Cranberry Whipped Feta Dip, Blackened Cod, Fish & Chips, Loaded Baked Cavatappi, Pecan Crusted Salmon, Fall Chicken, Fish Rueben, and JB's Style Calamari are all delicious. Save room for dessert and get the chocolate cake. You would never believe the cake is gluten free.

Eddie L

Definitely one of the top places on BI FOOD - the food is great and especially good breakfast place. Well known for their very cool toast varieties. Ciabatta, sourdough are really good. Bakery items are excellent, everyday is different pastries muffins and things and they are really good. MENU - this is an excellent menu that has a lot of variety for drinks and food. You can get smoothie or bowls, toast, coffee, sandwiches. Very good with Customizations. A lot of VEGAN / GLUTEN FREE options. SERVICE - the service here is amazing. They do get busy but if you see a line don’t be worried because it moves fast. They are very friendly and helpful. They take great caution with allergies. Tomaso is absolutely great!! ATMOSPHERE/LOCATION - definitely has that LOCAL VIBE but also are up to date on trends off the island. Outside seating very cool area and some lounge style seating as well. I will say it’s a little tight at times because they are busy. Parking can be tricky.

Jacquie Porcaro

I never write reviews but I can honestly say I could not hold back I can’t say enough about how delicious the breakfast we had and we had gone all three days while we were in Westerly at a nearby Inn. Food and service was excellent!!! Also I am dairy/gluten free and the pastry chef was amazing!!! Love, love this place and I highly recommend it!❤️❤️❤️

Steps User567972

They have a dedicated toaster, gluten free bread and bagels, gluten free granola for açaí bowls!

Tara Ducharme

They have a gluten friendly menu, but as a highly sensitive celiac, I’ve never had an issue. They even can make gluten free pancakes and sometimes will offer gluten free muffins. The only place we go for breakfast.

Chris Moca

Such a wonderful find! We went there because the have lots of gluten-free items on their menu. I tried the hot honey chicken tacos and they were delicious!

Jeanne Cherry

This is the only chain where my friend with a gluten allergy has never (knock on wood) had an issue with cross-contamination. No matter which location we have gone to, the food is always good and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommend.

Ida Ang

I’ve probably been here about 5 times so far, where I’ve had food twice, and came for the bar once. This is a vegan place, and is a must to visit for people with allergies/intolerances with a wide menu of gluten free items. I came with a person with gluten intolerance and I’m lactose intolerance and it was nice to not have to choose items super carefully. It’s very refreshing to have a place in the neighborhood that’s got a wonderful cafe vibe and transforms into a bar at night. They have wonderful speciality cafe drinks as well as alcoholic drinks at night. As a bonus, they support local artists in the area. They have a little section of the store with greenery items and one with candles, earrings, and other misc goods from artists.

Jeffrey Whittaker

Great food, plenty of gluten free options… staff very knowledgeable… but always ask is it gluten free anywhere you go

Elena Dillon

This place is incredible. I have a gluten allergy and I appreciated that I had so many options and that my allergy was taken seriously. I don’t regularly eat vegan, but I would return here time and time again. It’s that good!

Dawn Correia

Hi had the pleasure of having Hernan serve my friend and I last night! He was very knowledgeable about the menu. My friend had gluten allergies and Hernan was very helpful . Thank you for your great service!
