Top 21 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in Alabama

Anne Cichra

I’ve been gluten-free for over a decade, and now our 6-year-old is too—which makes finding kid-friendly GF food a real challenge. We’re from Florida and were driving to New Orleans when my husband discovered Guncles. He was so excited about it that we planned our overnight stop just so we could eat there—and wow, was it worth it! When I say it was the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had, I’m not exaggerating. We also grabbed some goodies to take with us: the cheddar biscuits (amazing!), the chocolate and spiced fig cake (so delicious), chocolate chip cookies (I want to buy more to give as gifts!), and their regular biscuits—which totally hit the spot. I was so impressed. But beyond the incredible food, the owners and staff were kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s rare to find a place with both outstanding gluten-free treats and such heart behind it. It was so good, we’re actually trying to swing by again today before they close to grab more to take home for ourselves and our friends!

I was so excited to have a donut like a “normal” person. Due to my allergies I was only able to eat the keto donuts. I got very sick from eating/ trying them. My stomach turned upside down. I read all the ingredients and they should have been fine. It was an expensive disappointment. If you were wondering the powdered sugar tasted the best, out of the ones I tried.

So good & a fun place to have breakfast! The menu has so many options and everything we tried was wonderful including the gluten free pancakes!

I was looking for some gluten free options for lunch and stumbled upon this place. At first I was skeptical it was GF because sometimes when I search GF it does not always come out that way- however, I called and placed a pickup order and got the banana nutella. She assured me it was gluten free and was very kind. It was SOOO AMAZING. More places need to be more gluten free and it’s nice this place is!! This is going to be my new favorite spot.

I’m from New York and on the way to the airport, I wanted to find a nice brunch spot somewhere near. I saw the reviews and pictures of this place and thought it would be a great place to try. The moment I come in, I already love the vibe of this place. Not only that but our server was very nice and friendly. We got the Farm Breakfast, Smash Burger, and the Royale Sandwich as our mains, along with the gluten-free blueberry muffin. And let me tell you they were absolutely delicious!! We also ordered a Matcha Latte with oat milk and the Golden Monkey Latte, and the drinks were phenomenal. They were so concentrated and the flavours were so rich, it made me love Matcha. Overall as a person who just was looking for something light to eat on the way back home, this was amazing! Anyone near this area must try this place out! I definitely recommend getting the dishes we got but if you wanna try something else I’m probably sure it won’t disappoint. If I am ever back in town I will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic food, amazing waitress, gluten free menu with a great selection. I had the Floridian Omelette with real crab. Very rich but amazing. The cheesy grits are just grits with cheese on top but excellent food for the price! Highly recommend

Jacob L. Davidson

My food was fine but my wife got the gluten friendly pancakes but they kept coming out raw on the side, very doughy and not flaky. Management and our server were very nice about it though and removed it from our bill. We will go back but may not get the pancakes again.

Leah Turner

This place is exceptional! For a careful eater like myself, Tina made it so easy to substitute the gluten & dairy free preferences. The food was delicious. I had a phenomenal lunch.

Chesley Owens

Great gluten free menu

Coreen Smith

We had a great experience. We placed an order from out of state. A 50th anniversary cake. Ruth and her staff were excellent to work with. The cake wasn't ready when we came to pick it up and she delivered it to us at no charge. The gf df red velvet cake was amazing. The non gf crowd didn't even know. We were impressed and would use The Inn Gluten Free Bakery again when in Alabama.

Morgan Soja

Every time I'm near here, I make a stop. Great place to get a meal, and to pick up gluten free items, produce, meats, cheeses, soaps, and candles. The soft-serve peanut butter ice cream is so good! The turkey club with cranberry jam and sliced Granny Smith apples is amazing!

Rachael Malloy

I took the recommendation of a friendly barista and had the Cuban latte with oat milk and a slice of the gluten free cinnamon coffee cake. Neither disappointed! The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is great.

Chloe Tittle

Ordered gluten free doughnuts for my mom for Mother’s Day. Asked for “Happy Moms Day” doughnuts with floral and pastel. Not super happy with the decoration since I placed my order a week in advance, but I should’ve been more specific. I was told to come before 12 on Saturday and got there around 9 AM and my order wasn’t ready. However, the doughnuts tasted amazing and I was glad to be able to give my mom doughnuts she could eat for Mother’s Day. Would def come back and buy regular doughnuts instead of doing something custom.

I recently visited Another Broken Egg Cafe in Huntsville, AL, and I was thoroughly impressed! As a vegetarian, it can be challenging to find good options when dining out, but this restaurant exceeds the expectation. They have an entire vegetarian menu, and they’re very accommodating about making adjustments to items on the regular menu as needed. They also have a gluten free menu. We went early on a Sunday morning, before the crowd that often comes prior to church services. The place was quiet and peaceful, which made for a very enjoyable dining experience. I ordered the Southwest Scramble, removed the meat, and added spinach and mushrooms. It was absolutely delicious! To enhance the flavor, I requested sour cream and hot sauce, which were the perfect finishing touches. The breakfast potatoes were a standout—perfectly crisp and wonderfully seasoned. As someone who loves lemon in my water, I was thrilled when my waitress brought me plenty, just as I requested. She was very attentive, promptly refilling our drinks and water throughout the meal. There was a small mix-up when someone at our table ordered an item not realizing it included bacon. The mistake wasn’t the waitress’s fault—it was ordered incorrectly—but she still apologized sincerely and replaced the dish quickly without any hassle. While the food and service were fantastic, it’s worth noting that the meal was a bit on the expensive side, costing about $20 per person. However, the quality of the food and the excellent service made it a special occasion option. Another Broken Egg Cafe is a great spot for a delicious breakfast or brunch, especially if you’re looking for vegetarian-friendly options.

Friendly staff, delicious food with perfect portion size and presentation. And gluten free! Highly recommend for authentic Venezuelan food.

This may be the best coffee in Huntsville! I used to stop at Honest in Nashville and was thrilled when they opened one up in my hometown. This is high quality coffee that I only take away the star for how expensive it is, and the charge for a non-dairy milk. As someone with dairy sensitivity and a husband with a severe dairy allergy, it is frustrating when places that are already pricy charge extra for something you cannot go without. Other than that, the vibe here is so cozy and is always busy. I love that they also carry some Mason Dixon gluten free pastries! While I can’t afford it daily, this is always a fun stop when I want a special coffee.

Samantha Helou

So, we all know this is the best coffee in Mobile AND the customer service is genuine and unmatched. But there’s always someone that goes the extra mile, and that was Hailey! I’m 19 weeks pregnant and have a gluten sensitivity, but she made sure I got my gluten free biscuits and was just so so sweet! Love this new location and the people in it!

I never write reviews but I felt the need to share my experience. It’s so hard finding gluten free restaurants and broken egg is my go to spot for gluten free pancakes. I recommend this place to everyone but after today this is my last time eating here. I’ve been gluten free for years now due to my severe gluten allergy. The service I received today was absolutely horrendous. I was with my family we all sat together. My mom ordered a pineapple mock tail drink. Her throat and lips were irritated after drinking it. That happens sometimes with pineapple it’s a weird fruit. She told the waiter, he got the female manager and the manager was EXTREMELY passive aggressive the moment she walked to our table. My mom shared that she was having a slight reaction to the drink. It was delicious but she was afraid to keep drinking. The manager asked if we should call 911 in a sarcastic tone. My mom said no she would like to have the drink without the pineapple juice. My mom was very polite. The manager says well the drink you ordered doesn’t have pineapple juice. My mom was confused and I interjected… it DOES have pineapple juice that’s the first ingredient. The manager was gaslighting us until I requested the drink menu back and it had pineapple juice. The manager said whoops my bad. Lots of attitude and sarcasm from the waiter. After that situation, 10-15 mins later the food comes out I ordered three gluten free pancakes and I received only two. The waiter comes out walks over and addresses me directly.. he says hey do you want the third pancake and I said yes (of course I want the three gf pancakes I ordered??)… long story short what I received was NOT gluten free pancakes. I had the same reaction I always have when I’ve come into contact with gluten accidentally. Swelling. Almost like edema/inflammation it takes days sometimes weeks for it to go away. The same manager comes I told her what’s happening. She said oh no should I call the ambulance (SARCASTICALLY) I said I would call the ambulance myself I’m not having an anaphylactic reaction. I promise I would not be standing here talking to you if I was dying. But I always get gluten free pancakes this is not gluten free. The texture everything. Four bites in and I KNEW these were not gluten free. I didn’t care to know how or why but it was not gluten free and I was reacting. My parents confirmed they tasted exactly like their pancakes. She claims it is gluten free. Nevertheless, I told her I’m reacting. Not here to debate with you on if the pancakes are gluten free or not I’m actively swelling this never happens here and I just want a refund. I gave her my plate of pancakes back. She argues with me about what symptoms look like for her celiac best friend. All I wanted in that moment was a refund not a passive aggressive, insinuating I’m lying for no reason, nasty attitude. Never eating here again. That manager is bad news. Never had an experience like this before at broken egg.

Super friendly staff... Barbie-Q salad was great and gluten free!

Brian Cain

Great folks, great food! Had the Hibiscus tea and a gluten free blueberry muffing. Top notch!

Trent Eubanks

Wonderful food options and espresso. Exceptional experience each time we've been here. Very accommodating with gluten considerations.

Kristen Mire

Service was nice and quick and did their best to save us money. Very accommodating for a gluten free diet because they mark the GF items explicitly on the menu. The food was surprisingly good and I would come again!!

Claire Neal

Our favorite every time we’re at the beach! Get the loaded tots!! They also have an amazing gluten free menu.

Jonathan

Loved this place. This was the best meal and service of our week trip with a group of 10. We ate early so we walked right in. Every person in the party loved their food. Fried chicken, grits, greens, fish, huspuppies, whisker nuggets all great. They even sang my mom in law happy birthday. Also they have a huge beer selection and happy hour is a plus!! Also a gluten free menu. This place was awesome.

sharron blakney

Was very good......was excited to have gluten free choices......would love gluten free crackers or bread. Would love to see CSC open in Waco Tx

Lisa Mayberry

Plenty of gluten-free options with dessert too. Dip trio and stir fry were delicious.

Ashley Keoppel

Delicious food with lots of gluten free options!

Whitney Stewart

We are big fans of Provision. We love their attention to freshness and organic ingredients. I love to pick up gluten-free items from their fabulous selection of foods and goods. (Please add more salty GF crackers in that collection for those of us who can't eat wheat flour.) We also appreciate your wine program with its emphasis on organic and bio-dynamic wines.

Robert Drake

This is a pretty tasty sandwich shop aimed toward a female clientele. They have several types of chicken salad as well as egg salad, turkey panini and soups. It's a short order rather than fast food Both the lemon basil & Dixie Chick were very tasty, though we decided the egg salad was the best of the bunch. Sides wise the mac and cheese was better than average. Strawberry lemonade was a fabulous touch, and they had a solid beverage selection. Vegetarians will have a pleasant time and gluten-free folks should be okay if the staff is aware. Wheelchair folks can easily eat, but might call ahead with their order as the counter is high.

This place is clean and fresh I really enjoyed they have gluten free options and the salsa were very yummy!

Kind Café – A Serendipitous Find in Fairhope! I was first introduced to Kind Café with the guys while the ladies explored downtown Fairhope for wedding dresses—and it quickly became one of my favorite local finds. The name fits perfectly. There’s a real sense of kindness here, from the upbeat, welcoming staff to the small, thoughtful touches like inspirational quotes on coffee sleeves and the community bulletin board. It’s more than just a café—it’s a little hub of good energy. What really surprised me, though, was the gluten-free bagel. I’ve had my fair share of dry or dense GF options over the years, but this one was genuinely soft, flavorful, and satisfying—perfect toasted with just butter. That alone earns high marks from me. I paired it with a hot cup of coffee, and it was the ideal start to the day. The space itself is cozy and bright, with just the right mix of energy and calm. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in with a book, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy a moment of stillness before jumping back into the world. If you’re in the area—gluten-free or not—I definitely recommend stopping in. It’s not just about the food; it’s about how the place makes you feel.

We love the food here! It’s my absolute favorite place in FH. The ingredients are so fresh. You can tell it’s farm to table and just absolutely amazing food!!!! And they have great gluten free options.

Wow. You NEED to stop in and get a bagel here! My husband and I popped in for the first time this morning and we will DEFINITELY be back soon. I had the Lox and Loaded Sammie and my husband had a toasted everything with cream cheese. We both ate all of ours, but were stuffed because these bagels are huge and delicious! You could probably share one, but I don’t recommend it because you might want to be a gluten and finish yours yourself or save it for later. 🙌 🥯

Samar Misra

Love it here! Jessie and Zee were amazing and full of patience, sincerity and hospitality. Glad Jessie the Mgr explained to me to stay away from one type of tortilla as it has butter as I am vegan and told me to stay away from caramel flavor in coffee bc of dairy. I def want to come back and love them. Most importantly, these folks here take time to help and not negligent by being very clear of all food allergies and differences between vegan, vegetarian, gluten, etc. Other places better have informed friendly staff as them to prevent lawsuits tied with food allergies.

Brandon Harpe

1st time in for Breakfast today. Shannon coached us through the awesome food choices. Shannon did a wonderful job also taking care of us, but also mindful not to be “too present” allowing us to enjoy. We had Brisket tacos and Gluten Free Avocado Toast, both were great.

Cole

The biscuits were handmade and delicious. Fluffy inside firm on the outside. Tomato gravy was the best I’ve had other than my mom’s. The sausage patties were very tasty. Perfect all around meal and a great price. Also they have gluten free bread!

Shanece Riley

The best gluten free cupcakes I’ve ever had 😍😍

Kara Godfrey

An amazing assortment of baked goods, southern dishes, and drinks. They have several gluten free options including a gluten free breakfast burrito - what a treat! I had the seasonal Catching Firefly’s latte this morning and it was a treat!

Hannah Hulsey

Such a cute little spot and the service was amazing! Our waitress was so kind! I have celiacs and the gluten free options were amazing!

Aileen Finley

Fantastic place!! Pastries are amazing including keto and gluten free!!

Alisa Smith

Great place. Loved all the gluten free options. Got an açaí bowl with gluten free granola, a slice of gf bread and a chai latte. They also have a dog friendly patio.

Do not be deceived by the exterior! The storefront doesn't look like much but the inside is very comfortable and relaxing. It was our first time here as we were visiting the area. The barista was helpful and explained the menu for us. The drinks were unbelievably amazing!! You take a sip and you're like wait...how can this be this GOOD!?! We ordered the Moon Shaker and the Iced Cinnamon Latte with oat milk. Also ordered the gluten free oatmeal pies made by Guncles. They were pricey but absolutely delicious! So happy with our experience. Highly recommend. We hope we can come back soon.

The most amazing coffee shop in Auburn!! All syrups are made in house and are gluten free but made in a shared kitchen space. GF options on the food menu and the cheesecake is amazing!

TAMECIA CARLSON

Top notch food. The flat bread is amazingly soft and fluffy. Fresh ingredients. Hummus is wonderful. Gluten free options and organic! Small little nook. Great little place.

Joseph DeSciose

I have been a loyal Red Cat customer for many years. My wife who is gluten-free has always loved the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Recently those gluten-free muffins have been reduced to a third of the original size that they were a month ago. But the price is the same. This is shrink-flation at its most ridiculous level. This is not fair to any of your customers, you could at least try to reduce the price a little bit.

Crystal Hambright

My new favorite coffee place! Close to home but also has gluten free options.

Rebecca Hunter

Atmosphere was awesome, very family friendly place, market food was absolutely delicious. Girl at the register in the marketplace wasn’t super friendly. Wish they provided more gluten free options with pastries. They said their brownie and most of their salads were gluten free. Try the peach ice cream!
