Top 10 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Oak Park

The gluten free banana bread and pumpkin bread are so good! Breakfast was great as well! 5/5 for food, drinks were not good so just recommend going for good food and gluten free options.

Lovely warm-feeling and cozy cafe with a variety of breakfast and brunch options. My partner and I both had the salmon toast with different sides. If this isn't the most delicious thing they have, I'd love to know what is, because it was incredible. I got mine with gluten-free bread as they have several options to substitute if you need to. The cappuccino was also delightful. We'll certainly be back again!

Food: I ordered two donuts. The gluten free Double Chocolate Coconut and the Coconut Cream. The double chocolate coconut was dense but moist. It wasn't as heavy on the chocolate flavor as the name suggests but still enjoyable. The coconut flakes are more of a garnish than flavor enhancer. I would order this again. The coconut cream however, I would pass on. I was anticipating for it to be filled with cream but the only cream you are getting is the dollop on top. Without it, the dense breading inside isn't much to celebrate. Be sure to spread and savor the dollop that is on top. I additionally ordered a hot chocolate that I feel neutral. Not bad or watered down in any way. I was hoping for a thicker consistency, but I'd order it again as well. Service: There was one girl working the shop in the morning. She was young, kind, and patient. Despite making all the drinks herself, she made them rather quickly. Atmosphere: Small cafe but it has a warm, cozy feeling. It has a slight rustic barn vibe to it. Small table off to the side for seating. There wasn't any patio seating when I visited in April. Depending on how crowded this place can get, the lounge area can fill quickly. More of a quick stop in, grab your goods, and head out due to lack of space.

I really like this place. Our family is a member of the co-op (you get specials and discounts). The best things to buy here are the high quality organic, fresh, items: eggs, cheese, milk, cream, beer, wine. Bulk items and specialty items... the specialty items I buy here are Yeast, 1to1 gluten free flour (mostly checkpea, it's excellent)

I used Sugar Fixe Patisserie for my wedding cake and desserts. Wonderful! I requested a vegan wedding cake and gluten-free cupcakes, and they delivered. The cake was so airy and light you would never guess it was vegan. Since I've been allergic to milk for along time and I have tasted a lot vegan cakes. This cake is on the top of my list. They were so professional with all my requested. The cake was even designed like I had requested. My guest loved the cake too. It was so good that the leftover disappeared. The greedy venue took it for themselves.

Best biscuit and scone I’ve ever had in my life!!! My husband said the gluten free cookies and French Financier were amazing, would love to see some GF savory options in the future. Coffee is great as well. This place is killing it

I, absolutely, would not return. If you have ANY dietary restrictions or food allergies, be very cautious! I’ve been plant-based, eating a vegan diet, for 9 years, and they brought me a crepe with chicken! I took a bite and knew it was chicken. I checked the menu ingredients of the “veggie crepe” to make sure that this couldn’t possibly be a plant-based chicken; it’s to have veggies only. I ordered the “Veggie Crepe” and my companion ordered the “Poblana Crepe”; both of these crepes are listed as vegan on their “vegan/gluten free” menu. When the food was brought out, the runner said “veggie crepe” and sat the plate in front of me and then said “poblana” and sat the plate in front of my companion. Mine turned out to be the chicken crepe and my companion’s turned out to be the veggie. I waved down, who I assumed to be the host/greeter, because he was nearest when I figured I had bitten into chicken. I told him what was going on and it didn’t seem like he got the gravity of the situation. It seemed like a minor thing to him. The waitress was nice and apologized; she said she had put in the correct order. I don’t understand how such a thing could happen. When we were paying the bill; they acted as if they were doing a great service by removing the charge for the chicken crepe from the bill! We weren’t paying for that in the first place! Neither of us eat meat or ordered it! Something else I noticed; the menu is very misleading. On the regular menu, the “Veggie Crepe” has dairy, but the same named “Veggie Crepe” is on the vegan menu with vegan cheese. So you could order the veggie and get dairy or vegan cheese without knowing, if you don’t look at the regular menu. Also, they have the gluten-free and vegan items grouped in a separate menu together, which can be confusing, it almost suggests that the items are both gluten free and vegan. These should be two separate sections. I asked for the manager, who was the same person that greeted us, Jesus. I told him everything about the menu as mentioned above. The restaurant was absolutely negligent and didn’t seem to sincerely care that the messed up big time!
