Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Discover in Indianapolis

NJT Trip

Pro’s: Great options for Celiac Disease + good GF bread. Coffee keeps flowing, it’s $5 for unlimited self serve. Central location next to Capitol. Con’s: Slightly underwhelming portions. Lox bagel does not come with cream cheese. Not a ton of unique / strong flavor for an $18 meal. It generally felt like a restaurant that used to be charming in its origins but has commercialized.

My home-base Cafe Patachou. Much too conveniently located near my home. It's hard to eat out and eat healthy. I love to get the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free toast and sub out chips for arugula. So yummy and I swear it has restorative powers.

I am an admitted Cafe Patachou addict... but I swear their chicken salad sandwich has restorative powers! And only place in town I know of you can get gluten free waffles!! 💙

We ordered 2 coffees some pastries and 2 sandwiches all were delicious. Some of the best gluten free bread I have had. Loved the inclusive menu!

An update after my visit: despite noting that I have an allergy and needed the gluten-free pancakes, I was served pancakes with gluten. Through sheer luck, I commented on a separate allergy-related issue, and a new staff member (not the one who took my order) got confused and asked "You do realize these have gluten, right?". They prepared a new, safe, order quickly, but it was concerning. I recommend that those with allergies place their order through a manager, and have the manager double-check with the kitchen that they read the order correctly. I haven't even been here yet, but I already love them due to their commitment to safe gluten-free food for those with Celiac and other severe medical responses to gluten. I'll update this review after I eat there this weekend

Loved this little sandwich shop. The gluten-free bagel was so good, it made me so happy to find a great place for a quick bite with gluten-free options! Next time I’m passing through again, I will definitely be stopping by!

I love coming here. The food is great- I can’t help but get the baked oatmeal every time. The baristas are so peppy and kind. The coffee is solid and the seasonal drinks are always changing so you can try something new. Quite a few gluten free baked-goods options.

Coffee was delicious and went well with GF brownie. Very good brownie. They had two gf treats- maybe not a good breakfast location

I found this little hidden gem in Castleton this morning. Great atmosphere, customer service, drinks and pastries for VEGANS. I tried their seasonal Strawberry Matcha Latte and Oatmeal Cream Cookie. Which both were AMAZING!!!! Homemade strawberry syrup for the matcha latte with oak milk and the homemade oatmeal cookie that is vegan and gluten free.My new go to spot!

I had the grits which were absolutely delicious, vegan and gluten free at the recommendation of our lovely server Spencer. Thank you for making our visit perfect!

Zoe Strawbridge

Cake was my favorite growing up and I hadn’t been there in ages. I stopped in yesterday to pick up a pastry and I got the Marie Antoinette. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious. The fresh raspberries with the rose were perfect. I’d already checked out when I saw a gluten-free cake option- will definitely be back to try! It makes me so excited to see more and more gluten-free options!

I just loved this place. Sadly I don’t live near here, we were just passing through for the holidays. But this place is so cool. The food was amazing, so flavorful and reasonable prices for being healthy. Dairy free options, vegan options, and gluten free. I got the rainbow salad with this amazing salad dressing I think they make there, I just loved it. The employees were very nice and helpful, I kept having to ask questions, but they still remained kind! My only complaint is that they Don’t have a phone number to call. I had to call the rock wall company that it’s in the building to ask about the cafe.

Great spot for breakfast or brunch! The menu has a lot of variety (great gluten free options), and everything we tried was fresh and tasty. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly and quick. Convenient location with a nice, upbeat atmosphere.

I ordered the vegan crab cake and it was so delicious. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed chatting with her. I love that I can find a place that is not only vegan but also has gluten-free options. I felt safe eating there with my wheat, soy and dairy food allergies.

I got take out so I can’t speak to the atmosphere or service, but I will say that it was super fast and incredibly delicious. There’s a unique variety of options and perfectly prepared. Gluten free toast was great - which is rare. The coffee was perfect - try the oat milk horchata cold brew! Even the jelly was special. Can’t wait to try more items.

#4 Indianapolis Addition This the Spot!!! You know how I feel about Coffee and we have been impressed by what Indianapolis has to offer. But, Provider Coffee hits different! Provider Coffee is what Starbucks tried to do a few years ago. Offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, beer and wine, in an ultra laid back setting. Exposed brick interior with high top tables and awesome music is just the beginning of this gem. A self Serve pastry case with a variety of unique pastries is the first thing to great you. Massive Almond Croissants, Pumpkin, Orange, Cream Cheese Muffin(Yes, all that in 1 muffin) among others, all for the picking. Smiling faces that not only greet, take your order and make recommendations, but th3 staff also make it a point to be engaging with each guest. It truly makes you want to linger for awhile. Then, there's the COFFEE!! Specialty coffees like Pistachio Rose Water are just the tip of the iceberg. Along with traditional coffee offerings, teas, housemade Kombucha, seasonal Lattes, and a featured Latte! There is no way you can walk out of there without something! Too hot to handle, too cold to hold; had a Butterscotch Latte that was curated like a cocktail! Espresso, steamed whole Milk, with butter, piloncillo, and a flaming orange. WHO DOES THAT!!! It was so good. Didn't get a whole lot if Butterscotch, but MAN!!! He also had a bacon breakfast Sammy with TONS of bacon, fluffy egg, cheddar cheese, and pepper jelly, on a Multigrain GLUTEN-FREE bread!!! It was a mirage of flavors that just warmed the soul. The decaf tenderoni had their featured Latte which was Banana Demerara. When I tell you, it literally tasted like banana bread? Packed with warm spice, actual banana flavor, and a hint raw sugar. It was the best banana Latte I have ever had! Provider is one for the books!!! CHECK IT OUT!
