Top 14 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Montclair

Airen Bijou

Small, counter service bakery, with a few seats at the bar and a couple tables outside. Everything we got was really good. I'm not gluten free but my partner is, and we both really enjoyed what we got. We got two bagels, one sesame with butter(her) and an everything with cream cheese(me) here in lies our only beef. My partner is also dairy free so the butter was the only option and even that was a stretch and a chance. And they were pretty light with my cream cheese, not trying to be greedy but I expect an ample schmere. So the bagels were amazing but in the future we'd get them to go. We also bought an array of donuts and cookies to take for later and ALL of those were excellent. Not pictured are the filled donuts, and a slice of coffee cake. Honestly the best thing in my opinion was that thumbprint cookie, kinda stole the show for me. I would go back back get 50 of those things. It's really nice to have a bakery option be gluten free. And if you are, this place is totally up there. 9 out of 5 stars

It’s ok. Very hit or miss depending on who is working that day. Had a really good crepe,and they have great options for vegan and gluten free. Perfect for middle of the day remote work because outlets are marked and it’s not full of people midday during the week.

I love everything about this place. Coffee is delicious every time. Pastries have good variety, have gluten free options, and are delicious! I understand they need to have days off so no judgement there. But Mondays and Tuesdays are my most free days and they are closed those days :(

Really just want to rave about what an amazingly delicious gluten free chocolate- chocolate chip muffin they have!

Steer clear. An overall unpleasant experience. They were out of several dishes, omitted components entirely (avocado on the salmon) or had made substitutions without letting us know - (ricotta (?) for creme fraiche on the bolognese, and most shocking: a corn tortilla for a gluten-free bun on a burger). On the upside the service was suitable - our server did their best considering the circumstances and their own frustration with the restaurant's lack of detail and basic ingredients. Hopefully management / ownership can right the ship - where its headed now is down, down, down...

SJ and her husband are the dream team! I stumbled upon them in trying to find a place who can make vintage style wedding cakes, regular and gluten free, in the Montclair area. Once I spoke with them, they easily accommodated everything I asked for and for a very great price. Not only did we get a chance to go in to try all the cakes, frostings and fillings, included in the total, but we also got to meet them and their family, who are so sweet, welcoming and down to earth people (really making it worth the $$$ in helping and supporting small businesses/their family). SJ also makes all the cakes, icings and filings from scratch-delicious!! On the day of my wedding, the cakes were just ask expected and beyond our expectations!!! Highly recommend them not only just for weddings but any cakes for any special occasion!!!!

Lovely place with lovely food and lovely people. And they can substitute their breads with gluten free options. Had a lovely chicken sandwich. Oh and their turmeric latte is delish 💕

The cafe had an Istanbul vibe to it. Very exquisite and cute. I loved how our gluten free diet was accommodated. Definitely coming back.

The iced vanilla decaf latte with oat milk was smooth and delightful. The impossible burger with gluten-free bread was average. Definitely needed a better plate presentation. The side salad dressing had too much vinegar.

Found this place on tiktok because a girl was selling plants there.I had the vegan sandwich. It was outer this world. The hot Apple cider was incredible. They have all different kinds of teas,and gluten free Donuts. All the staff are super friendly. They have a nice little patio you could sit and eat your sandwich and drink your tea or coffee. The parking was no problem they have a lot or on street parking too. The price was great too. Sometimes you have to get there early because they sell out a lot of stuff. there vegan sandwich or gluten free sandwich. Are awesome. I gave them a 5 star because the food was incredible and Fresh. the staff are super super friendly. The place is super clean And the prices was not bad at all. the atmosphere sitting on the patio It's so relaxing. So I would recommend this place to anybody.

Solid place for frozen yogurt. Especially for people that have dietary restrictions. They have vegan, gluten free, sugar free, non fat etc. The main reason I go there is for the healthier varieties…. They also have regular flavors and lots of different toppings to choose from… Something for everyone! Everything tastes good and staff is always welcoming….. Happy Returning Customer Here!

Most of Montclair residents already know about the atmosphere of Thought and Motion and its people but have you tried their COFFEE??!! I look forward to Master White rabbit coffee that’s exclusively found in Thought and Motion every time I visit. There’s three levels of intensity and Master being the strongest one is by far my favorite coffee. It’s perfectly nutty, balanced and strong. I look forward to Master and so should you… && of course a side of lemon square or their gluten free chocolate muffin.

Really wonder staff, amazing service. The almond cookies are incredible and also happen to be gluten free. The coffee is very good. Love this place.
