Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Explore Across Minnesota

Delicious latte and double chocolate donut for under $10. You don't miss the dairy or gluten in any of their products. The donut was soft and moist with decadent chocolate frosting. Haven't tried the breads yet, I'll try to update later, but they definitely pass the squish test, springing right back just like a glutenful item. I also got myself a birthday cupcake :) vegan cream cheese frosting was amazing! You've got a try the savory monkey bread. Highly recommend

What a charming and delicious gluten free bakery. The lattes are two thumbs up as well. Whether it’s sweet or savory, I haven’t found something here I didn’t like or wasn’t so pleasantly surprised out how yummy the gluten free fare is that I selected any given visit. Go here. Order gluten free and give them your money. Such a treat to eat from a gluten free kitchen. The service is terrific as well. Good job Hold the Wheat!

Justine Stell

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

This hole in the wall is an amazing find. The entire menu is gluten-free. They offer several DF dishes as well. You order as the counter, and then they bring it to your table. The service is really good and they provide carafe of water for the table. They are spot on with refills. The only down side is the parking. It's all on street. There is patio and indoor seating. It's rare to find a restaurant that has more than one dish my wife can have with her dietary restrictions. Brim has several. It was great seeing her gitty looking at a menu.

J. Selby's is one of my absolute favorite places in the Metro. The food is all delicious. Tons of gluten free options, too!

Kathleen Lawman

If I had to eat gluten free this beautiful restaurant would be a dream come true! I don’t have a need to, and due to cost would only go if others were needing gluten-free. Overall great food!

Bob

Get here early as it fills up FAST! Great food and service. Highly recommend Hashbrown rancheros. Gluten free bread is house made and tasty!

Walking in off the street I genuinely gasped when I realized *all* the offerings on the menu board were gluten-free -- I'm a newcomer to dietary restrictions (gluten-free/dairy-free) and it's been a tough journey but I love this place and I'm excited to come back again. The staff were really well-informed about food allergies/finding options that met my specific needs, and it's got a great classic neighborhood bakery feel. The muffins are wonderful but the baguettes are really next level good.

Chase Kasel

Absolutely wonderful experience overall. They have plenty of options for most, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free (vegan/gluten free) being hard to find. The atmosphere and view of the lake were great as well. Very clean, nice bathrooms, friendly staff, book adoption for small price, and a dietary restriction diverse pastry selection too! We will definitely be coming back.

Paul Lombardi

Hen House Eatery has the feel of an old-time diner, but it is so much more. It has many food choices, and the gluten-free accommodation worked for me. I would definitely eat there again the next time I'm in Minneapolis.

Anthony Hoffarth

Awesome small batch ice cream! So many unique flavors to choose from and are very friendly for gluten-free options.

Laura Fredrickson

This unassuming little cafe is SO AMAZING! I travel across town just to eat here. I can't get enough of everything on their Gluten Free Menu - the pancakes are to die for, and I take home at least two of their scones, almond & lemon bars. (yes, they are ALL gluten free!) I am OBSESSED with this place 💖

Riley Buchanan

Cutest cupcake shop ever! The atmosphere was amazing, and the cupcakes were even better! The gluten-free cupcakes tasted just like ones with gluten, which I think is so rare, and im so happy that Nadias cakes found a way to make them so good! It was a wonderful experience, and I 100% recommend!

Larry Slocum

Their gluten free menu is very well thought out and yummy. Always enjoy our visit. We were able to sit outside

Amber H

Long line, but it moved quickly! They did a great job of safely scooping my ice cream, and they had gluten-free waffle cones - yum! I had dark chocolate & turtle!

Trina S

Great atmosphere inside and out. MVK patio is very dog-friendly. Service is friendly and fast. Our server wasn’t very knowledgeable about vegan options. We ordered the only vegan main course, ratatouille. Unfortunately, the vegetables were under cooked and the seasoning wasn’t anything special. The tahini carrots were also undercooked. The spring rolls are premade, so lacked the chewiness of fresh rolls - and cannot be ordered without cilantro 😖 We did enjoy our drinks and the vegan/vegetarian slider that was on HH special was very good… just wish they offered it on a gluten bun. Overall, we wouldn’t recommend MVK for vegan fare, BUT I do recommend if you are looking for an attractive, dog-friendly patio with good drinks, friendly service and a social crowd.

Patricia Allen

We had a lovely late lunch between flights at the Minneapolis airport. I am Celiac so the menu was so refreshing! Our server, Ken, was very attentive and very efficient. The only downside was the cost! Our lunch was almost $150! (with two drinks each and tip).

Ali Swanson

Great gluten sensitive selection!

Ella B.

Lovely little shop. They had a lot more unique teas than what I’ve seen at other places along with interesting coffee specials such as a squash latte for fall. They serve all sorts of gluten free items such as pastries and ice cream.

Haley Larson

Amy's Cupcake Shoppe is a gem in Hopkins, MN, and an absolute must-visit! As a gluten-free and vegan dessert lover, I can confidently say this is my number one spot for cupcakes. The care and creativity Amy and her team pour into crafting treats that everyone can enjoy—no matter their dietary needs—is unmatched. And trust me, as a baker myself, I know how tricky it is to perfect gluten-free and vegan goodies. But at Amy's, they absolutely nail it every time. Beyond the deliciousness, what sets Amy's apart is their heart. Amy and her team are so much more than expert bakers—they’re champions for the community. Whether it’s supporting local events, collaborating with other businesses, or simply making their shop a welcoming space for all, you can feel the love and passion in everything they do. If you’re looking for incredible sweets made with intention and a team that radiates kindness and joy, Amy’s Cupcake Shoppe is the place to be. Do yourself a favor and try their cupcakes (and cookies, and macarons—you won’t regret it!).

Julie Badger (Beenken)

I'm a regular at this coffee shop. The staff are super kind and helpful, they are good with allergies (I have Celiac disease and I don't get sick from their drinks) and their drinks taste delightful. It can get really busy on weekends though. Sometimes it's too cold inside though so bring a sweater or jacket just in case. My go to drink is the sweet heather

Jennifer J

Very good, and everyone changes gloves after serving each guest. It's definitely a great place for gluten-free dessert after dinner.

Mickey Mikeworth

Vegan and gluten-free, the largest most extensive waffle menu you’ve ever seen hidden in an obscure parking lot coffee shop. Family run and hires lots of kids from the community. They actually care, they say hello to people when they walk in, and if they don’t get your order right, which they didn’t get ours right they will do everything to fix it and bacon and cheddar in your waffle is fantastic. There’s a reason it’s the first thing on the menu. Outdoor seating that is informal and you can bring your kids.

Kelly Reymann

Waited 45 minutes for 2 omelettes with hashbrowns. Omelettes were small, ham was sliced up lunchmeat and the hashbrowns were so salty they were inedible. The female staff person emptying the garbage went straight to touching clean silverware and then to serve our food without washing her hands. The only good part of the visit was the gluten-free chocolate muffin, however, I will find out in a couple hours if it was actually GF. I would not visit this place again.

Beram C

I brought my family here because we have family members who are lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant. All of their ice cream is lactose free, and they have plenty of gluten free toppings and even gluten free ice cream cones! It's also pretty cool that they have vegan ice cream flavor options as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful, plenty of kids seem to be in and out of the location all hours of the day, and it's a great place for date night.

Erin

The Peach Tea Freeze drink was delicious, as was the gluten, dairy & egg free peanut butter cookie I tried! Will definitely be back!

Sarah Medin

Pleasently surprised at the quality of gluten free options. Pancakes were light and fluffy, sweet on their own not needing syrup. If GF, this is an amazing breakfast choice. 10/10 would come again.

Marian Farah

We've came here many times today me and my kids had the worst experience the cashier was not nice and unaware of the stores options of gluten free and food options. He was not pleasant and my waffle was very doughy and soggy. I told them the remade it and it was still the same. Whoever the chef back there is doesn't know how to make waffles my 9 year can do better than that. Waste of time and money ruined for us. Never coming back here again.

Molly V

was excited to come here due to the many reviews about gluten free options which are very hard to find. Sadly they did not have anything gluten free 😕

Abby Collins

Breakfast sandwich is amazing..oh my god!!! I love the gluten free options! I would love the option to select no cheese when ordering online ;)

Tracy Schnagl

Every time we are up on the North Shore we stop in for dinner and pie! Most of the waitstaff are very knowledgeable, but there are a couple of duds. Today I got the Hot Beef meal, and they can make it with gluten free bread and make a gluten free gravy. Of course the pies are the big draw, and we think they win over Betty's Pies. Today I had the Lemon Angel. They also have a Raspberry Cream and a Blueberry Cream. All three come on meringue crust. So light and fluffy and delicious!

Elisanna

I’ve gone here about 5 times over the past few years and I’ve always had a lovely experience! Great food, service, and a quiet atmosphere. The pickle fries are especially amazing!! The prices are also very reasonable, which is a plus. They also have gluten free bread options which is a HUGE plus. Thank you!!!

Margaret Dick

First time visiting today. This is such a great spot—very lively and full of people chatting and working and playing. It feels like visiting a coffee shop in the pre-smart phone era. Haven’t felt this good about a coffee shop since I left NYC a few years ago. They also have gluten free pasties which is awesome :) And delicious coffee!! Will certainly return.

If you're gluten-free or celiac I would avoid this location!!! Horribly dirty ! DO NOT EAT HERE place was disgusting never seen keys so disgusting sadly. Food wasn't keys signature style or taste I eat keys alot at other locations. And the urinal in the men's bathroom was the worst black mold and grime that I've ever seen it was horrible standing piss unbelievable ! Very disappointed. Cook didn't pay attention to my lady's allergies either. Overall just not a clean place either dirt and grime on tables sticky stuff on floors and window sill area . Brown gravy on floor and bench areas everywhere on floor was dirty look like it hadn't been swept in a month. Very poor appearance. 👀🤦‍♂️😔 WASTED TRIP OF TIME N MONEY . Roseville#2 Woodbury#3 or Hudson#1 KEYS are definitely the go-to. (If you're gluten-free or celiac I would avoid this location!!! )

William Boland

Love the drinks, atmosphere, healthier-ish food options (lots of gluten free/vegan choices!) and of course the coffee. They’ll have live music sometimes, two seating areas and a decent overall food menu. What a great staple for this neighborhood.

Laura Hillman

Had some amazing gluten free chocolate cake and an okay latte, but this isn’t a place to hang out. I was trying to get some work done and was told there was no wifi.

Nathan Moore

No seating outside because of the threat of rain ( which did not appear). Dining room was unbearably hot - a few family members had to leave early because of the temperature. Fish tacos were great and there were lots of gluten-free options. Corn tortillas were raw though - not fried on the griddle for 30sec which makes them better. Coleslaw and pickles were well flavored, but in general the portions were small for the price we paid $25/person for 5ppl. The fish and chips fillet was huge though and everything tasted fantastic. Definitely worth visiting.

Greta Rundquist

Such a sweet little cafe with a cozy atmosphere! Great food options for many different diets (i.e. vegetarian, gluten free, etc.).

Reached out 2 weeks ago by phone to ask about scheduling a tasting for a gluten free cake and cupcakes for my wedding. I was told I needed to send in an inquiry online—which I did. I called back a week later after not receiving a response and received a response via email the same day. I have replied to the initial response twice as well as called the store twice looking for a response and have received nothing. I have done large cupcake orders from them in the past as well as walk in purchases—both of which have been great experiences. Disappointed is an understatement!

Megan Relson

Great breakfast (and lunch) sandwhiches and pastries including gluten free and vegan options. High quality crafted espresso and coffee drinks. Highly recommend for both food and drink options.

David MacPhail

Gluten free pancakes were awesome! The portions were out of control, three pancakes were WAY too much! The service, atmosphere and real maple syrup were great.

Alicia Durdahl

Gluten free donut Wednesday so good. Best I have seen yet so pretty.

Alexis J

We switched from a national chain grocery store to Eastside. Wow! I wish we had switched sooner! Their selection is amazing and I am shocked at how reasonably priced everything is. Especially as someone who often has to shop for specialty diets (gluten-free, mostly) The quality of their produce is excellent as well. Nothing but good things to say about Eastside Co-op.

Deanna Julich

This is a bustling coffee shop for such a small town. They have traditional and creative drinks and fantastic pastries - gluten free options too! Very friendly staff. Hope to stop again!

Keva Munter

Great food, loved all of the gluten free options! Friendly service with a great atmosphere!

Nancy Perez

Fun stop with delicious old fashion burgers and shakes! They even offer a gluten free bun. Counter service and while the lines were long they did move fast, they were well organized and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Will definitely again!
