Top 30 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in Sarasota

Came here the 1st day we were in the area and the food was so excellent, outdoor service allowed us to bring our dog, and they were so knowledgeable about celiac disease and gluten-free that they really put my wife's mind at ease that we came back here 3 more times. We ordered different things on the menu each time and for me the Cuban sandwich was excellent. Next time we're back to visit our friends, we'll be coming back here another 4 times.

Great place, food is delicious 🤤 gluten free & vegan. Every time we are in Sarasota that’s our HAPPY 😃 PLACE. Our servers Andrey and Matt were great explaining the menu and advise us options. This was the weekend of Saturday May 3rd - Monday May 5th, 2025.

I love Simon’s! I’ve been going for years and the food is always amazing! I always go for any vegan specials and the soups are always delicious and unique! I also never leave without a dessert for later! Such a great variety of vegan, gluten free and other items! A huge bonus is that their entire team is incredible! Local- family owned- great options- check them out!

We visited from TN and we can't wait to come back and eat here again. The food is fresh and healthy. So many gluten free options too since my husband has celiac and I am gluten intolerant. The staff are so nice and willing answer any questions you have. Definitely a 10 out of 10 ☺️

Absolutely love crop juice!! They have 100% organic cold pressed juice in glass bottles. There grab and go salads and quinoa bowls are addictive for healthy lunch! And of course I can’t resist there organic gluten free and vegan sweet treats! I probably tried all of them and absolutely in love with these clean ingredients!!

Wow. Why didn't we find this place earlier on our vacation. If you are looking for delicious gluten free or vegan options, then this is your place. Great, cozy restaurant with about 10 tableclothed tables inside and 10 outside. The service was impeccable. Portions are European in size (plenty, but not huge). The Angus burger was delicious. And we absolutely loved the apple/orange tart for dessert. And apparently they serve breakfast + lunch too so will have to come back to try that.

Super cute shop with excellent variety of coffees and gourmet pastries. Absolutely loved the pumpkin cheesecake muffin (gluten free and vegan!) My pumpkin latte was perfrct with oat milk. Roomy seating, games shelf for anyone, nice coffee bar. The parking is tight but worth it!

My favorite Coffee shop in Sarasota! We moved to the area 3 years ago and I started to visit every single coffee shop, ofKors have great options of pastries and their coffee quality is excellent! The place is really Hygge🙌🏼 and they have some gluten free options that becomes our favorite.

Everyone had an amazing experience at Pura Vida Miami in Sarasota! The food was delicious and there's something for everyone with their healthy options, including gluten-free breads. I loved the Summer Chicken Bowl - fresh and flavorful while the veggie omelet and the New Yorker were hits with my group too. Everyone left raving about their meals! The service was super fast, and ordering was a breeze, which made the whole visit even better. Choose inside or outside seating, they've got fans running for those warmer days. They even sell merchandise, if you need a new hoodie or hat. Oh, and do yourself a favor - try their cookies. They're unreal!

The blueberry streusel gluten free keto doughnut was shockingly good. Hard to believe really. My husband had a breakfast sandwich that was also great. Atmosphere inside was calm and exactly what we wanted.

While on a road trip we found this awesome place. So I've been on some strange habits lately of only eating out and ordering things I can't get usually. ( a bit strange I know but it's getting me to order outside the box ) I had the Rueben on Rye with potato salad. I would def order that again. Buttery, toasty, flavorful and filling. It could have a bit more meat though. Potato salad was yummy! My partner had the matcha and a muffin. Muffin was sweetened with monk fruit, gluten free, and just the right amount of fluffy/moist. Lastly we got a sausage & egg everything bagel with a slice of tomato and it was good. Everything is fresh to order yet it didn't take long. Although we didn't get to try all the baked goods they have a really hefty selection.

In a town with a lot of great breakfast options this is one of my favorites. Super fresh, gluten free options, great omelettes and the hash brown casserole is amazing. All the staff is really nice. Angie waited on us today and she was lovely. Checked on us often but not too much! She made sure we had lots of ice tea and everything else we needed. We’ve never been disappointed at this cafe!

Taylor Keefe

Love this place! Stumbled upon it during my vacation and could not be happier. Great for my gluten free/vegan people. Doesn’t taste like artificial sugars/sweetener; it’s very natural and filling!

Beautiful spot, waitress was very sweet and helpful, food was delicious. We hadn’t had Venezuelan food before, so this spot was a great first experience. Side note, if you are gluten sensitive this is may be a good spot. Most of the food was made with a corn flour. I didn’t ask if it’s made out of just corn, but my stomach felt fine after. Waitress also mentioned that the wait time might be a little longer than normal restaurants because everything is made from scratch. Although it didn’t end up taking long at all, our meals tasted fresh and whoever was the chef definitely had passion for their craft. I do wish there was a 4.5 star option, only because it was a bit pricey. Coffee and mocha we got were also good, just seemed over priced. $4.50 for a small, plain black coffee in this economy hurt a little.

What a gem! This place is adorable. Great place to go alone or with a group. My wife has celiac and we were concerned about that darn wheat in the tea. Well, the owner brought out the book from the supplier and according to their site none of their teas have gluten. This meant my wife could enjoy nearly every drink on the menu. The tea was delicious!!! But the atmosphere was even better.

We were very pleased with this little cozy cafe located at St Armond in Sarasota. The manager and our server were extremely helpful and friendly. We had a couple of food allergies to navigate and they took great care of us! The service was very quick and our food was delicious. The portions were much larger than we expected. Highly recommend this place for breakfast AND lunch. It was nice that they have gluten free bread available.

Jeanie Glass

Friendly staff, clean facility. The orders are accurate. Interesting menu. The Mediterranean Bowl is tasty. Wish they’d add gluten-free breads & bagels & organic fruits & vegetables. Wish they’d show the carb count on their menu. Also this location is the only one in Sarasota that u cannot order from your table. How come?

I loved my tuna salad on fresh garden greens! My husband had grilled cheese and soup that he thought was good. I had wine to drink. It was in a plastic disposable cup. He had a bottle of ice tea. We ate outside under the live oaks. It was super easy to socially distance, even on a Sunday. The small cafe is conscious of gluten free concerns, helpful and friendly! Don’t miss this amazing venue!! Worth every penny to visit Selby gardens. It is a class act!

Beautiful little French gem in downtown Sarasota. Large selection of gluten free pastries. Service is great with the beautiful accent. Absolutely loved it.

Carrie Munoz

This is my absolute favorite place to get an açaí bowl and some avocado toast. Great gluten free options. Cute place and friendly service.

Kenna Wilkins

Delightful! Got them for my mom for Mother’s Day (and a few for me!) Gluten free and so delicious!!!

Havi Frost

This place is fantastic! Our group loved the atmosphere, the food, and the incredible service. They made us feel at home. We shared several different empanadas and enjoyed them all. The pasta was fresh and delectable. They have something for everyone; vegan, vegetarian, meat options, and gluten-free options.

E. Tabitha Morales

The most delicious experience of my trip! I wanted to buy EVERYTHING within sight, but refrained and decided to take some things to go instead. 😜 The service made me feel like I was at Grandma's kitchen table. The food & hot drinks were EXCELLENT! FRESH! DELICIOUS! Sometimes places like this are great at bakery goods and not so good with beverages, but I got an AMAZING americano and my friend got a fresh chai tea that was GREAT. The place is very clean and calm as well. I'm literally dreaming about the next time I'll be in this side of Florida just to be closer to this amazing establishment. They have gluten-free options, home-made EVERYTHING, and are simply amazing! I absolutely love this place and plan to return again! This is amazing! Five stars easily!

My boyfriend and I get smoothies here occasionally and as far as my experiences have gone they are always good! Our most recent visit we were greeted by Nybree who was very nice and welcoming (we felt as if he deserved a friendly shoutout)! our smoothies are always made in a timely manner and taste delicious! During our most recent visit I noticed they updated/accommodated their menu so almost every smoothie can be made gluten free which I genuinely appreciate!!

Erica Lee

So happy we found this gem while we were visiting Sarasota! I had the Parisian salad with ham, cheese, and a poached egg. A delicious gluten-free option! The coffee and macarons were wonderful also. Would definitely recommend!

Tina B

Super chill hidden gem find. Amazing selection of coffees, mocktails, pastries, wine, beer, matcha tea, even a cute steamer for kids. Definitely making this our new spot and will be back to try the unique natural wines. My iced chai tea latte was absolutely perfect like fall in the summer. The matcha is strong and pure great deep flavor no gimmicks. Quality taste and loved the gluten free chocolate cookies, super moist and yummy peanut buttery chips.. Nice staff, friendly Taj helped us right away with a smile and quick service. Cute patio tables and relaxing space. Easy parking. We are from Bodega Bay, California and this feels like a chill surf coffee shop home away from home. Nice job 👍🏻 thank you for the good vibes 🥰

Colby Troyer

We had a nice lunch here! My boyfriend is gluten free and they offer GF bread and buns which is really great. I had the lunch duo of a salad and 1/2 sandwich and my boyfriend had a GF Rueben with fries. The service was friendly and quick and we overall enjoyed the experience!

Joe Young

Incredible icy cappuccino and gluten free chocolate mousse

Hannah Moomey-Sowers
