Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in Maine

Will Beyreis

Must visit in Portland! Rich flavors and hearty portion in the arepa. Coffee hits the spot too. Very friendly people! And all gluten free. Celiac safe 👍

Angela Sottile

ALL GLUTEN FREE! Delicious!

Jacqueline Loiseau

Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!

Eliot Powers

It’s nice that they have so many gluten free donuts, but none of the donuts, gluten-full or gluten-free, were anything outstanding

Keith Andrews

Great selection of vegan and gluten-free donuts. Definitely recommend the lemon zest or holy cannoli donut.

Chris Moulton

Service here was amazing! This gluten free bakery has got to be one of the BEST things I have ever had before! The service here is very good and I must say they are really nice employees. I hope to come back to this place over the weekends and even tho it's expensive all it matters is that it's the best in town! Also, thank you for everything you guys do for the brunswick area teen center! I go to the teen center alot and I have some of the granola deserts and I LOVE them alot. I liked the two boston cream donuts and the smores bar I had this morning. Again thank you guys for everything and I can see this business being the best ones in town!

This is such a satisfying stop for those of us who can’t have gluten. I love the breakfast sandwiches and the sticky buns. The best part, though, is the experience. Being able to go in and order anything is so freeing. And the staff are just fantastic. They are so friendly and accommodating. It’s always a pleasure to go in there.

Pros: Since I couldn’t read the donut options (see con below) staff was very friendly and accommodating Holy cannoli options are a fun idea Cannoli cream had great flavor Decently priced Large donuts for price Thin and crispy so very unique Easy to find In asking for staff recommendations they were conscientious on if I was gluten-free Cons: Menus were difficult to read (I have a vision issue so it wasn’t bolded or popping - yes you can take photos and zoom in. See positive above) Tried the cinnamon sugar holy cannoli and was messy (understandable and expected) but don’t had little to no flavor In chocolate sea salt the chocolate was a great base but didn’t get any sea salt flavor

Joanne Dicicco

We arrived five minutes after one but the person behind the counter said read the sign,very disappointed! People just walked out with a box in there hand.

I have been going here since moving to Maine in 2020....not because I am medically gluten free....just because it is great stuff! I try to stop in just for a muffin but usually come away with a lot more! Lots of creative variety, side by side with the old standby--delicious blueberry muffin, in case you're not in the mood for the fun rotating unique flavors. I am not telling my favorites because I want some to be left when I get there! LOL Nice staff, very talented baker who must work very hard!

Annette Wakely

We have eaten at the bake shop several times and have had wonderful meals every time . Love stopping in eating for breakfast or a late afternoon lunch or a light dinner ,service has been outstanding. The food is fresh and ddelicious. Let me set this up there’s a huge huge selection of gluten-free options as well. . Recommend it highly to anyone looking for someplace for delicious breakfast lunch or dinner

Outstanding cafe with amazing employees, a great place to hang out with friends, and excellent gluten free options (with allergy-aware staff). We really need more places like Aubrey’s in Southern Maine and the Seacoast.

Dorothy Towle

My best friend got me a vegan/gluten free carrot cake cupcake. I was a bit skeptical of how this would taste and my husband said there was no way it would be good. WOW were we wrong!! It was amazing! We now can't stop talking about it and want to try everything else they offer. You can tell they really enjoy what they do!

Roozie F

Exceeded expectations The maple with bacon 🥓 is my new favorite.... even the gluten free is good Hands down the best donuts & coffee - conversation in town. This place really cares about their customers and quality Just an all around great family business . And one of my favorite mom and pop shops in Maine

Beautiful space and friendly staff! Love that this place is a dedicated gluten free shop so that I don’t have to worry about cross contamination. Everything is absolutely amazing!! Will definitely be back for more!

Dustin Kniffin

The food was some of the best we have had in a while. The gluten free toast was amazing. Burger was great and cinnamon bun French toast was great! Highly recommend

Sophie Bourget

Such a cute spot for yummy pastries! Even if you’re not gluten free or vegan the food is delicious!!

Sandwich was good but they put all the meat in a big mound in the center so the edges were just bread. Their bagels aren't good- too bready, not enough gluten. They are not chewy like real bagels. They're only popular because Bangorians have never had a real bagel. Atmosphere is chaotic and hectic, all the hard surfaces make it very echoey and hard to hold a conversation. They replaced all the wood floors with cheap looking laminate. The plastic silverware is so flimsy, my spoon was bending trying to eat the potato salad. Staff were very friendly.

Dan Rhodes

Awesome spot for ice-cream and sweet and savoury crêpes. Very careful about gluten cross contamination, perfect for the celiac in your life. Gluten free scratch made waffle cones. Crepes all made with buckwheat flour so also gluten free. Most ice cream flavours gluten free. Beautiful view of the harbour from the little terrace at the back.

Zoot Coffee in Camden, Maine is a charming little gem that perfectly blends cozy small-town warmth with subtle touches of global culture. The interior is thoughtfully designed inviting and relaxed, with eclectic details that hint at a love for travel and distant places. It’s the kind of spot where you can easily settle in for a quiet moment with a book or get some focused work done. The ambiance is calm and welcoming, and the staff add to the laid-back, friendly vibe. Their gluten-free sweet treats are a nice inclusion, though the ones I tried were a bit on the dry side perhaps just past peak freshness. I had high hopes for the blackberry muffin, and while it lacked the moistness I was hoping for, it certainly didn’t take away from the overall experience. Zoot is a lovely stop for anyone seeking a peaceful space with character, good coffee, and thoughtful details that make you feel like you’ve wandered into a well-traveled friend’s favorite hangout.

Michelle Cekala

This is a wonderful food truck that offered all the tastes of the big e that was safe for my family with celiac. The food was so good and my husband who does not eaten gluten free said it was better then anything he ate all day.

Rick Freeman

Perhaps the best pizza I have ever had. Definitely the best gluten free one. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Stacie Audet

Best gluten free waffle cone, ice cream and whoopie pies around!!! My husband and I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Highly recommended!!! I have celiac and had no problem here!!! Try the Maine Maple twist soft serve in a gluten free waffle cone!!! DELICIOUS 😋 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!!

Bridget Corry Morse

Nice people. Pizza tastes good. Gluten free crust very good .

Tori Robertson

Me and my family went while we were on vacation last week and we enjoyed this restaurant.They have gluten free bread but my only request is that they would have gluten free hamburger buns .All else was awesome! I want come back each trip I make to Maine!

Hannah Schumacher

Delicious, high quality coffee with house made syrups and great dairy free alternatives. Fantastic gluten free baked goods, especially the gluten free vegan chocolate peanut butter muffin and really lovely and filling gluten free bread for their sandwiches and stuff. The vibes are good and it's a great place to get work done.

Julia Sitaro

Please don’t eat here if you have celiac, I went today and was delighted to see gluten free bread on the menu, I told the cashier I had a gluten allergy and they said they could do any sandwich, I am now having an allergic reaction on my six hour drive home. One of the cashiers was not as friendly as the other but the environment of the store was overall quaint and enjoyable, I just wish that when I said I had an allergy someone would have honestly told me not to eat from here

Delicious food, fresh and upscale. Perfect gluten free options!

Melissa Seaton

Arrived on a Saturday around 9am. Bit of a line outside but it moves fast and the line isn’t as long inside. Well worth the wait! Tons of gluten free pastry options- we got the lemon ginger scone and black bean expresso bar. Both were delicious! We were also impressed with our coffee. They have sugar free available. I did a vanilla latte and my husband did a double shot of espresso- both were great. The latte wasn’t overly sweet and the espresso was just right. On top of the excellent food and drinks, the staff was all so friendly. We will definitely return!

Julianne

Gluten free delicious potato donuts!

Maria Jose O. R.

Very good sandwiches! They had gluten free option.

Jacqueline Loiseau

My husband and I stopped in for coffee and was so happy to see the gluten free vegan options! We tried the scones, the muffins, and a breakfast sandwich and all were amazing!

Karla DeVincent

Best Gluten Free muffins around! This is my favorite place to grab a quick breakfast (no fuss, no frills), a perfectly grilled GF blueberry muffin and they have the best coffee. Staff is friendly, and as you’ll see remembers the locals by names (and breakfast orders).

syd perry

Has the friendliest staff, so much seating and delicious food. Has gluten free pastries and gluten free bread for sandwiches! Also has some vegan options! If you’re in the area definitely stop in and if you are willing to travel, it is so worth it!

Stephanie Chabot

We loved this spot so much that we came back every day of our holiday! The coffees, , açai bowls, burritos, gluten free muffins and wraps options!! Amazing place

Jessie Powers

Love their gluten free options!! My favorite it the turkey blt!! Great place to get small gifts as well!

Gabrielle Bodian

I'm from CT & come up to York often, everytime I come I make it a point to grab some breakfast here, I crave it! The quality is consistent, they use fresh ingredients, the staff are always friendly, there's gluten free options available & they sell lovebirds donuts too! 5 stars all the way *****

AJ Badarni (Ajbadaj)

If you can't make a good glazed donut, you have no business making donuts. This was the worst glazed donut I've ever had. We got two dozen assorted, and coffee - and that costed us over $100. A couple of the donuts were gluten free, and those were strangely the best ones - though still bad. Dry, heavy, cold, stale tasting. The toppings were ok, pomegranate was better than blueberry somehow, strange for Maine. Either way you'll have the feeling of a brick slowly moving through your digestive system. The coffee was terrible, burnt sludge. I would almost give it two stars, because the attendants were at least nice, but that price tag just kills it for me too much. Avoid!

Rylee Rawcliffe

Holy moly are these sandwiches delicious. They’re also huge. My husband usually gets 2 at other places, but 1 is enough for sure. (He likes the Joe XL.) He’s gluten intolerant and their GF bread is wicked good and made locally (Bam Bam). I’ve tried the Apple Pork, Harvest Chicken Salad, the Mushroom, and the Bacon 3 Cheese and would 10/10 recommend them all. I have a hard time deciding between getting one I already know is amazing or trying something new. The Bennie’s are also delicious, the sauces are nice to dip in. They also have really great latte flavors!

Anthony Gauvin

My favorite coffee shop...the best coffee roasted by the owner so it's ridiculously fresh. Great atmosphere and great eats ...everything is gluten free!

Phineas Kornfield

They have sauces and dressing and cooking ingredients in a little market area. Their prepared sandwiches are all very good. They have a lot of very good gluten free options, as well as many regular baked goods. They also have prepared salads and meats as well as chocolate and candy.

Joel Fridman

What a tasty ice cream and super nice staff. We asked for a Gluten free cone and not only they had it but also scooped the ice cream from a separated bash to avoid contamination.

John Deane

Good food, nice atmosphere, not cheap but not outrageous prices. Lots of options including tons of gluten free choices.

Bel Laflamme

Great atmosphere great food with gluten free options. I had peppermint mocha coffee with whip cream. Yummy

Estelle Cohen

Fabulous food selections and baked goods. Lovely staff and gluten-free options!

Mich Besse

My boyfriend and I had a great time at 2 Cats this morning! He got the corn beef hash and I got the gluten free blueberry pancakes. Both of us left full and satisfied. I can’t wait to come back later in our trip and try something new - especially since the spicy home fries are gluten free as well.

Heather Hider

My favorite place to grab some breakfast, gluten free treats and a latte!!

Katelyn Aubrey

Absolutely fabulous little place! The best tiramisu we've ever had (and that's saying something) plus a wonderful pumpkin latte & "Chai-der" (half house made chai and half apple cider). Plus gluten free sweet breads for the gluten sensitive folks! Would give them more stars if I could.

Sandy

Great service and very friendly staff. They have many gluten free baked goods and food options. I got an iced mocha latte which was very good and has good coffee flavor. I also go a GF chocolate torte which was amazing!
