Top 20 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Inverness

I stopped by with my mother to grab lunch. We got a tea, leek and potato soup, and 2 scrambled eggs on gluten free toast. The wait time was pretty long, about 40 minutes. The tea was not very hot, and tasted like whatever had been in the pot prior. My mother was not very pleased with her eggs or toast- especially considering the pricetag of £9. I enjoyed my soup, a very large amount, however the potato had seemed to have partially dissolved in the broth and there wasn't very much of it actually in there. More of a personal issue, but the music was extremely loud to the point where we could not hear each other talk, even at louder volumes which was rather limiting to conversation. The door was also kept open despite the rain and I found myself rather cold. We used to come here a lot but the quality of the food and service has dropped significantly and I dont think we will come back. However the waitress was very nice! She swapped the dairy milk for oat when we asked about it and brought over extra water :)

This is a cozy cafe with a nice alternative vibe. Where you get delicious looking and tasting food and drinks. Where you can chill out, grab a board game or work on your laptop. It is quite popular, so sometimes in summer you might have to wait and come back as they have 7 tables and ruffly 18 seats. Vegan and gluten-free friendly and always new cool drinks on the menu. Plus I like that they display and sell local arts and crafts.

A thoroughly enjoyable visit! Superb fish oysters, delicious mussels in chili coconut, and a juicy burger! Attentive, friendly staff! Gluten-free? No problem! Vegetarian - of course! We'll be back!

Incredible display, and excellent customer service when we asked for gluten free options. They offer a GF cone, and most flavors are GF, and when I asked about cross contamination, they offered to scoop from unopened containers in the back freezers. We got vanilla and triple chocolate, and they were delicious (my kids have never criticized an ice cream). I was impressed by their knowledge and accommodation of celiac.

Had breakfast in here and loved it. The coffee is absolutely outstanding - they have oat milk - and the mocha was done with real chocolate, super delicious. We also tried the breakfast bap and it was unreal, the tomato sauce on it is a nice touch. They have options of gluten free sweets, but no gluten free sandwiches. For sweet tries the lemon and coconut blondie and it was really good. Highly recommend and would defo come back!

Positives: good wifi, close to the train station, abundant gluten-free options, supports local folks in need. Negatives: 30 minute wait for basic breakfast (toast, poached egg, sausage link, and a piece of bacon) and the beans were still cold, coffee was pretty harsh. The cafe does get good overall reviews, so it's possible we just had a bad experience. Not great, though, if you're waiting for a train or want to squeeze in some breakfast on any kind of timeline.

Went here yesterday and the food was so delicious!! Their scrambled eggs are cooked perfectly and each scramble put group had was full of flavor!! The gluten free bread was actually good and a thick cut! My boyfriend said the French toast was the best he’s ever had! Thank you!! :)

Café de Paulo is an absolute delight tucked away in the charming Victorian Market. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in both the food and service. I ordered a beautifully presented breakfast plate featuring fluffy pancakes topped with fresh strawberries, bananas, blueberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of honey. The scrambled eggs on the side were creamy and perfectly seasoned—true comfort food. To complement the meal, I had a hot chocolate with the most stunning latte art I’ve seen. It was rich, velvety, and balanced—not too sweet, just how I like it. The attention to detail, from presentation to flavor, was impressive. There are plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options too, which makes it accessible for everyone. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Inverness—whether you’re a local or just passing through, Café de Paulo is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to!
