Top 27 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy Across Kansas

Okay. I do love caffetteria or at least the idea of it, so I’ll still give them a 4, but this has happened too many times not to share. Every single time I’ve gone here they forget something on whatever dish I’ve ordered. When you charge what they charge, you just can’t forget key ingredients (or any ingredients). Cobb salad is a $17 salad - it’s marked at $16 but usually not enough dressing so I paid an extra dollar for a tiny little container of extra dressing. They forgot the avocado, arguably a key ingredient. They’ve forgotten bacon in the past. They’ve forgotten egg in the past. They’ve forgotten something on nearly every menu item I’ve tried. Overpriced. Food is good, not great. Nothing too remarkable for the price point. It’s a cute place, though. Vibes are good. I like the idea of it. There aren’t too many places that are healthy fast casual in the area so it’s nice to have the option, but it’s annoying to have to check every time to see if they remembered the key ingredients. Green goddess dips and chips - fab. Hummus - no pita bread available. Variety of sandwiches - good but nothing special. Variety of plates - great idea, comes out a little lackluster. Pb&j toast - ugh it is delicious but ordered this for a toddler, and I had to scoop off a layer bc there were full peanuts layered on the top of it and it was served on a very seed-filled bread - both of which most young toddlers can’t quite handle yet. My bad for not asking for a full description of it. Breakfast items - pretty good. Pizzas - delicious. Bakery - great. Coffee - pretty amateur. Not great at making lattes or specialized drinks from their menu. And why is a not so great mocha $8? It’s fine. It’s cute. They forget important ingredients often and charge a lot for pretty standard food. If you need something after you’ve ordered, good luck finding someone to help you. Oh a positive here - if you order a salad chopped it is very perfectly chopped. And decent effort and options for gluten free. I’m sure I’ll be back, and you should go too. Like I said, the vibes are good, the branding is cute, but lots of simple sloppy mistakes made at a price that’s a little too high for what it is.

I LOVE this place. I have celiac and their variety of gluten free items is amazing. Also, the quality of them is SO GOOD; most of the time gluten free things are really dry. They have non gluten free items as well too. The environment is so cute and the service is so good. I come here all the time and I just can’t say enough about how much I love it here.

I googled donuts & this placed popped up. I went at 11am & they didn't have any doughnuts that I wanted. Just small GF chocolate doughnuts & some cupcakes & cinnamon rolls. I got a blueberry gluten free cupcake & I wasn't a fan of how cold it was or texture of the dough. Probably not the best place if you're in search of a good doughnut, but I'm sure they have other good options like pop tarts and cinnamon rolls.

Delicious. Lots of gluten free options!

We make a point to visit Shana Cake every time we are in Topeka. My wife is allergic to gluten and, as a result, we have tried various gluten free bakeries and restaurants all over the world. The cupcakes at Shana Cake are my wife's favorite cupcake out of anywhere we have been and all their other treats are excellent as well.

We stopped here on our cross country trip and so glad we did! This was by far one of the best coffees we had. We got the salted caramel cappuccino and it was brewed perfectly with just enough sweetness without being overwhelming. You could taste the quality of the coffee! Cinnamon roll was scrumptious as well! They even had gluten free bakery options which is hard to find. Plenty of seating. Friendly service. A local gem!

100% gluten-free, with no risk of cross-contamination. Safe for celiacs. I had a gluten-free sandwich, and the bread had a very good consistency.

Ashley Reddig

This place is hands down one of my favorite spots in Lawrence, KS. The atmosphere, food, drinks, and overall service is always fantastic. They offer gluten free, smoothies, a fun side menus for the season, pastries, and even more. The atmosphere is a great place to get work done, studying, or even a catch up with friends!

Samantha Landzettel

This place is just awesome!!! As someone who is gluten-free, it's always hard to find a good pizza place. This is definitely a good one!!!! Not only that, but I was able to snag a gluten-free cookie they had!!!! I really recommend stopping by this place whether you are GF or not!!!

Nicole Coco

I had the gf buffalo chicken on a potato waffle and it was delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try the dessert waffles that are gluten-free!

Heather .Heater

It's such a cute coffee shop, and it's all gluten-free! All the plants have names, which is a funny and cute little thing to add to the overall atmosphere. I will have to remember to take pictures the next time I go But the cherry almond enters bites are delicious.

Dana Walker

I was pleasantly surprised to have a BOATLOAD of gluten free options, including a breakfast sandwich on a GF biscuit. I’m so happy to find another GF option in town.

Kayla M

Fantastic gluten free options. The gf pancakes are amazing, the pancake flight is 10/10. Definitely worth the wait, but online wait-list helps.

Stephanie Sandels

I am so glad that I discovered this place! They even have gluten-free items! The tea was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was great as well with their quaint decorations. They also have outdoor seating and serve dog treats.

Kelsey Applebaugh

Ray was an amazing server! Can’t wait to come back for some more gluten friendly pancakes!

Dinae Chichester

Coffee, food, and atmosphere were all great. Only one barista was working while one other person prepped food, which delayed service considerably for a Saturday morning. However, if you are not in a rush, it is a pleasant place to have coffee! Additionally, there are several Gluten free options.

The food is so dang good; I almost cried the house salad was so delicious. I was not crazy about the bread service, but everything else (fried okra, jambalaya, red beans & rice, house salad) was amazing. The cocktails were also delicious and worth coming coming for those alone. Staff was also very accommodating to my partners gluten allergy and helped us pick out something on the menu they could eat. Service was really good, between being seated, served our food and drinks, and even the manager stopping by at the end of our meal. Only issue was that food came out tragically slow, like, there for two hours slow. But, we weren't in a hurry and it made our date night much more relaxed and enjoyable. Not sure if it was an issue with the kitchen or if waitstaff had relayed to the kitchen that we had no other plans, but just be aware. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Thursday night and at one point, my wife and I were the only ones. Not the fault of the restaurant, just wish it was a more hopping place. Decor was fine, a little confusing what the vibe the restaurant was going for. But if you're going to a place for the atmosphere in Wichita, what's wrong with you?

Very happy with the service and food at The Wooden Spoon. I had the gluten free lemon ricotta pancakes and they were delicious. All of my questions were answered and I was confident in ordering without being nervous of cross contamination.

Very cute place. The server was so sweet and patient. I had the regular cup of coffee and it was really good. We had breakfast sandwiches, mine was gluten free and I was so excited that they had gluten free options. I even bought a little slice of gluten free poppy seed bread to take with me. If I lived anywhere near Lindsborg I would stop in daily. Unfortunately, we were passing through, but highly recommend!

This is my new favorite coffee shop! The guy who took my order was so kind (I asked a lot of questions 😅) and the coffee was delicious and BEAUTIFUL! I tried their morning honey toast on gluten free bread and it was incredible. (Also the gluten free bread wasn’t a tiny piece like you usually see, it was a good size! Gluten free people know what I mean lol)

New Pink Order

This place was such a wonderful idea! With two locations, they offer a home to local home bakers and foodies. I can get Italian sodas and sugar cookies in the same place. And someone looking for vegan, gluten-free or low carb things would be in heaven.

I visited Groundhouse for the first time last weekend in search of a place to relax and read a book. I enjoyed some hot tea, and the staff were hospitable. Will be going back when I get a chance to try more of their tea and coffee and enjoy the atmosphere. They also have gluten-free baked goods available :)

Stopped by the wooden spoon on our way through Kansas City. our party had the corned beef hash, the lemon ricotta pancakes, the fiesta Philly and a couple of cinnamon rolls. we found the food to be exceptionally delicious and the team member who served us was very helpful in explaining the options and helping us with our order. in addition my wife has celiac. they were able to safely accommodate her and everyone at the table was very pleased with our meal. Will definitely be back next time we are in Kansas City.

Excellent drink (both coffee and cocktail) and food options. The waffle breakfast sandwich is tasty and different from the usual coffee shop options - and there is a nice selection of gluten free pastries. Coffee is always perfectly made and the Mai Tai was authentic to the original recipe for the drink - not overly sweet. I love that you can enjoy a beachy vibe in the middle of Kansas during winter! I also love that they lean into the beachy vibe without appropriating native culture :)

Jason Lehnherr

Amazing atmosphere. The food was outstanding, I had the lasagne and my wife had Gluten Free rigatoni bolognese and both were amazing. Our server was Brooke, she was top notch!

Melissa C

The pastries are so unique I wish we could have tried them all. You have to give the za’atar bagel a try as well as the baklava cheesecake. If you have dietary restrictions (vegan or gluten free) the staff know all the ingredients and can point you in the right direction. I was told a few items were gluten free (ie an oatmeal cookie, and the financiers) but you’ve got to ask! The coffee was also the best so far in Lawrence after trying a few places on Mass St. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it!

Kind and attentive service and delicious food. I’ve been to this location several times and always have a positive experience. They are great about letting me know what I can order/adjust for gluten and dairy allergies. I tried the Southwest Salad with the Dill dressing (gf/df) yesterday and it was so fresh and yummy!

Darlene Wilkins

Vi Logan

I’m gluten free and they didn’t have a lot of options but they had a cookie that was super good. Also the best customer service!

They have great gluten free bread for sandwiches! Not to mention the espresso is so good!

The food here is always 10/10. I usually get the Raja dip (blend of cheeses with pita bread) for an appetizer & the Petra platter (chicken, hummus, vegetables) for main dish. Both are full of flavor and delicious, I could easily eat both of these dishes everyday and be happy. Most dishes include an option of lentil soup or salad to start, both are fantastic. Brought friends who are vegetarian & gluten free (they have gluten free pita!!) and both found great options to eat. Take out & dine in available, if you dine in there’s usually no wait times!

We got stuck in Lyons, KS for two days on our way home to St. Louis during an ice storm. We were SO thankful to stop at this cute and welcoming coffee shop on our way out of town. And happy they were open amidst all the snow and ice! Our coffee and tea were so yummy, and the baked goods were absolutely DELIGHTFUL. We loved every bit of the experience. We especially enjoyed that all the baked goods were homemade, so delicious. We tried and highly recommend the cinnamon rolls, gluten free muffins, and bagel breakfast sandwiches!

Every birthday or special event for my grandparents I send them coffee and lunch from Amanda’s bistro. They are always kind and take my order over the phone and deliver! I don’t know that delivery is a normal thing for them but it just shows how great this place really is. I live in Kansas City so being able to send my grandparents treats has been so nice. This is one of the only places with gluten free options. I appreciate this place!
