Top 14 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in Delaware

Edwin Maldonado

The food was good. They have a great selection of Gluten free pancakes, French toast and crepes as well as gluten free bread. Our server was great, Dale. Nice spot situated 1 min from the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk.

Nectar consistently delivers great food and drinks. I love the vegetarian and gluten-free options. The no tuna fish salad is the best!! My husband is not vegetarian and gluten-free, but he loves their food too!

The young lady at the front was sweet, had a smile on her face & the seating area outside was cute! As for the food, not so cute… Everything we ordered is something we would normally order from any spot that serves breakfast. For ~$37 we got 1 iced chai, 1 Arnold Palmer, 1 French toast muffin & 2 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on ciabatta rolls. One had extra bacon, one subbed for scrambled egg at no extra cost. 1. The chai latte looks & tastes like it’s almost entirely oat milk with cinnamon… disappointing. 2. The Arnold Palmer tastes like unsweetened lemon water?? Like *barely* brewed tea, lots of lemon and water… 3. The breakfast sandwich starts at $6 and ended up $9.75 & $12.75 (+$3 for extra bacon) We opted for ciabatta’s bc the bagels on display look like grocery store bagels. The “ciabatta” was very dry and I’m wondering if it was gluten free bread. There was SO MUCH black pepper on the bacon?? The scrambled egg tasted like premixed carton/rehydrated eggs. 4. The muffin was not bad, but idk if it was made in-house

Not a great place if you have celiac disease. We have been visiting this restaurant for a while and didn't have issues until recently. The last visit I was sick afterwards from what I assume was cross contamination. We tried again today stressing that I have celiac disease. After making some modifications to the meal (which was marked as a gluten free option) and being assured everything would be ok as they have a celiac button that alerts the kitchen I was brought a burger that had a fried onion topping and the burger itself was fried (they do not have a dedicated gluten free fryer). I sent the meal back telling the server it wasn't safe after he kept telling me it was. He came back and confirmed it was not safe. When the manager came over to check on us 15 minutes later he offered to make me a salad with no protein to make up for it since that's faster. Anyway long story short not all the staff is trained on cross contamination or food allergies for that matter. Eat at your own risk...

Sweet Melissa's is always an absolute delight. Staff is kind, patient and accommodating (Shout-out to Gianluca, Annie and Sydney!). As someone with Celiac's it's also really nice to have a bakery to go to that is so careful and considerate of a wide variety of dietary needs and restrictions. I've gotten several pastries and other items over the years since I discovered this gem in the heart of Middletown and I have never once had a cross-contamination reaction. My husband and I have occasionally stopped in to have dates here and I could easily spend the day writing here. There are games available for kids too, so it's really a family-friendly spot. Anyone who needs (or wants) a bakery absolutely can and should patronize Sweet Melissa's!

We are vacationing close to Bethany and came across this gem! We are gluten free and dairy free, and it was amazing to be able to eat such great food without having to worry. It can be such a challenge. The staff is so helpful and the food is so good! Ate brunch and dinner and we will be back tomorrow! Prices are very reasonable and quality is great!

Always enjoy getting my favorite tostada stack! It's gluten free, fresh and delicious! You can customize your items easily as well.

A hot coffee and delicious bagel sandwich was exactly what I needed. Gluten free options as well which was important for our crew! Next time I’m in Bethany will be popping by for sure

Mary Bohn

Thank you for adding more gluten free items! This Celiac girlie loves to try them all and grab Gluten Free Bakery Girl goodies for later!

Karmic Cafe is a small little cafe located across from the court house off the circle in Georgetown. Chef Shar Berry never disappoints when it comes to her creations. The daily specials are reasonably priced, and good sized portions. She has something for everyone and always has Diabetic friendly, no-sugar and gluten free options. The cafe has two tables with a couple of chairs, but is really designed for take out. You can order ahead if it’s not on the menu and then pick it up later. She has cakes for any occasion and also caters events. Five stars in my book.

This place has amazing food and kind employees. They let me taste a smoothie I was unsure about getting and offered gluten free granola because of my allergy (which I haven’t really ever heard of). They had some nice deck tables outside to sit on. The atmosphere was great and loved the plants! Yummy food and options for anyone with strict diets! (Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). Definitely recommend!!

It was my first time coming into this location and I was pleasantly surprised with a beautiful and inviting atmosphere, and excellence service. Ryan really made it a great experience from start to finish, she was really knowledgeable about the menu and answered any questions I had. I order a shot of expresso, a honey coconut milk matcha and a gluten free sour dough breakfast sandwich. Being a gluten sensitive girly I was really impressed with the amount of gluten free options as well as the variety of milks I was able to choose from. For sure check this spot out if you’re near by or just want a relaxing cafe experience. Can’t wait to come back.

Great fresh made doughnuts, they even have 2 gluten free options and ask if you have an allergy or not with them!

I visited Cottage Cafe in Bethany Beach after a recommendation from a foodie friend, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. The decor is definitely charming—true to its name, it has a cozy cottage feel that’s warm and inviting. That said, the food was just okay. The menu felt a bit limited and uninspired, and the cocktails didn’t really stand out. I appreciated that they had a separate gluten-free menu, but the options on it were pretty minimal. On a positive note, our waitress was lovely—friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the meal. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, just not one that would bring me back again.

Atmosphere is amazing but the food was subpar. Ordered the gluten free French toast and it was dry. I mentioned it to our server and she mentioned that she believes it was brought to the attention of the cooks before from another customer, but she laughed saying apparently they hadn’t done anything about it. No attempt to make it right.
