Top 38 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in McKinney

I cannot understand this place. We used to eat here every now and then, several years ago, though the Allen location was our favorite until it went downhill. It’s one of the few places that has gluten free toast and pancakes….which USED to be really good. Now there are more options out there and the quality of their GF is suffering. We were the first ones in the restaurant, yet everything but the corned beef hash was VERY cold! Just HOW!?!? The eggs were way overcooked. My wife has some disabilities that are worsened when having to chew cold GF toast (IYKYK). She explained this to the server, promising a huge tip for a hot, softer piece of toast. He then blabbed it loud enough to the kitchen(with attitude) for the entire restaurant to hear (more people had come in) and still brought back not as cold toast. Just because you stay busy, doesn’t mean you’re the best or that you quit trying. We spent $40 for this treatment, then went down to Chick-fil-A and had a $6 breakfast that was a million times better!! But hey, Eggsquite has good coffee…

We always have a great time at Hat Creek - the food is great with lots of gluten free choices for our family and the kids get to play!

I recently visited this place for the first time, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! Ordered the deviled eggs, crispy chicken breast, and the gluten-free chocolate mousse & orange vanilla custard pie. Everything was so delicious. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was also great—comfortable and inviting. I’ll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend!

Good celiac options.

Dana Repp

Busy little restaurant, so it can get a bit loud. The food is excellent, and the servers are attentive. They have gluten free options which makes it a versatile place to meet for lunch.

Christopher A. Hampton, Realtor & Mortgage Lender

Great place if you have gluten allergies.

Jeaneen McKinney

Awesome vegan and gluten free choices

Highly recommend! They were willing to use EVOO for all oil needs, accommodating my request for no seed oils and were able to serve the Osso Bocco gluten free. Cecilia, our server was extremely knowledgeable but also very eager to speak with the Chef to accommodate all my quirky needs. She was there every time we needed her without over kill. The Octopus was the best I’ve eaten anywhere. Cooked to perfection with fried potatoes in EVOO and the decadent sauce to enhance the flavor was just flawless. The Panna Cotta with the fresh berries was in my opinion one of the freshest and amazing desserts I’ve eaten in many a meal. I will return often even though I live 30 miles away. It will be a new favorite go to for us and my whole family as we all enjoy clean, fresh foods! Job well done!!!

Loved the food, service was great, atmosphere was very pleasant. Most of the menu was or could be prepared gluten free, and the gluten free toast with homemade jam was a real treat! Great coffee. Park in a parking garage. Highly recommend.

Great place, great service and food was very good! The bartenders were very helpful in letting me know what was safe to eat for Gluten free. Went there a couple times and both times was great. Will be going back for sure! I tried two different desserts and the mussels. Didn't get picture of mussels.

Clarissa Hill

I didn't want to cook and and since I need to be gluten free, I found that they had a cauliflower crust pizza. It was delicious the crust was perfect and the service was fast!

While in McKinney, I came across this coffee shop. I ordered the gluten free cinnamon pecan muffin and an almond milk latte. The latte tasted really good and the muffin was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place!

Sharon Hartmann

Great place for breakfast and brunch- lunch. Very popular spot so be prepared to wait if you’re going at normal breakfast and lunch times. We arrived at 745a on a Sunday and were seated immediately. When we left, the place was packed. Excellent service. Good, hot coffee. Extensive menu with gluten free options. Waffles, pancakes, French toast. Poached eggs- with hollandaise sauce and lots of different toppings. Sausage and bacon. Biscuits. Oatmeal. Yogurt. Lots more selections so please check online menu. The food was served hot and quickly. Great atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Easy access off of 380.

Nichole Walker

Been here a few times and we have had consistent good service. Drinks have always tasted good and the good is pretty amazing! Love the tacos and they have a gluten free menu!

Debbi Hanchett

I had gluten free pancakes with bacon and eggs. Eggs and bacon were ok. Nothing special. But the GF pancakes were very bland and tasteless. It would be great if they put some seasoning in them, maybe vanilla or ?? They were like eating glue. Husband had Denver Omelette and said it was good.

El Mejor Mexican Kitchen in McKinney delivers an authentic dining experience worthy of its name. The atmosphere buzzes with a lively spirit, matched by five-star service that makes every guest feel like family. Sipping on their house margaritas, which hit the perfect note of zest, I reveled in the gluten-free offerings—especially the Carne Asada tacos wrapped in soft corn tortillas, rich in flavor and crafted with care. Overall, El Mejor gets a glowing 5-star rating, with its culinary prowess shining through every gluten-free bite. A must-visit for anyone seeking genuine Mexican cuisine served with a generous helping of hospitality.

Melissa Radermacher

Love the Kale tonic and avocado toast on gluten free bread!

Very nice historical location in the heart of McKinney. We went for my birthday and they were great. I am gluten free and they have a seperate menu. They even provided a special dessert.

Amanda Harris

Great sandwiches and wine collection. Sometimes has yummy gluten free treats too. Love the gift shop.

Family in Faith tx

They have an amazing veggie omelette with goat cheese mushrooms and squash potatoes are perfect and they offer a tasty gluten-free toast. If you haven't come here yet, what are you waiting for!

Meita Roston

No olive oil, no butter. Everything is made with canola oil. Less recommended for keto, Paleo & gluten free.

Thomas Nash

Food was reasonably priced, service was kind and attentive. Great variety and great tasting burgers. My wife and daughter are unable to eat gluten and they accommodated by giving them a nice lettuce wrap for their burgers.

Vette Smith

Probably here 3-4 times a week! Staff and owner are always welcoming and food is the freshest and bestest. I get the avocado superseed toast on gluten-free bread, chia pudding with fruit and of course the smoothies! This is the best location out of the ones I’ve visited. 5 stars every time!!

Joe Edmonson

Excellent brunch meal. The food was great. Service, courteous and super friendly! Busy, busy with a short wait. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on the menu.

Nichole Walker

Good food, friendly staff, clean restaurant. They also have a good amount of gluten free options

Rich Niccolls

First of all, the 2 women who helped us were the best! We have not been treated this well in a restaurant in a long time. We were the first in for the day, and they took care of us. My wife got the Sweet Potato Hash Bowl (good gluten free option), and I got the Retro Plate. We both loved our food. Coffee, tea, and a sweet side of Cinnamon Chip biscuits. Everything was cooked well, great flavors, and 100% will be back. Loved it! And like many others have said, those Smashbrowns are some serious savory sides! They were the bomb!! Highly recommend. Just know... if it's a weekend or holiday, it will be busy and maybe loud. I've been a couple times now. Weekdays are the time to go if you can. Quiet and plenty of seating.

Suzanne Schuchardt

Awesome, welcoming staff, AND they have gluten free pancakes!

Nichole Walker

Love the patio! Our server was super sweet and awesome. Drinks and food tasted good. They modified to do gluten free but I wish they had a dedicated menu for gluten free

LaTisha Nance

So, so good. The atmosphere and food were perfect. The beautiful balance of downtown McKinney Charm and fine cuisine. On top of being a great place to hang, I am also a celiac (🚫 gluten) the hostess and the server went above and beyond to explain the menu on what I can eat...so impressed with their attention and detail and the actual Sugarbacon GF version was heaven in my mouth. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this restaurant and don't be stingy bring a friend with you as well to enjoy! Bon Appetit!

molly

Amber Shimek

I love this place! Everything is vegan and gluten free, the fruit is always fresh, and the employees are always very welcoming and friendly! I tried the blue lagoon and the everbowl and they were super delicious! I will definitely be coming back!

Kristin Morris

Best gluten free burger bun…hands down. I’m so glad to have found a comfortable neighborhood place with great food. Love to relax here with friends and play a few games of pool/darts. The brunch breakfast potato skins are so good and the specials are amazing.
