Top 9 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Ridgewood, New York

Gluten-free crust is home-made!!! It doesn't taste like any other G-F that is pre-made on the market! The ingredients are fresh and so full of flavor! If you have other allergies, be sure to let staff know because they don't list all of what comes on your dish, ie sugary or soy sauce based dressings.

I would not recommend this place for allergies, especially for people with celiacs. Unfortunately, places like this are the most dangerous for people with food allergies. The menu is marked and seems inclusive, but the staff I interacted with was not aware and did not care or take note when I asked about gluten free options and said that I have a gluten allergy. The person working didn’t know what I was talking about when I asked if the fries are fried in a shared fryer and was annoyed when I asked if she could check. She left and didn’t come back with a clear answer so, I played it as safe as possible and my food still came out carelessly on bread. I brought it to the counter and they brought it right back out without the bread. No communication. At that point I started noticed the lipstick on marks on my water cup and the jars of shared condiments where anyone can dip whatever utensils they want into it (including contaminated knives spreading on bread and back). I was grossed out. I have celiacs. These details matter. I know how to navigate menus and how to respectfully advocate for the bare minimum. It’s not clean and it’s not safe.

Sandwiches are the best in Queens and baked goods are also great. They have wonderful gluten free options. Not the best coffee, and long wait times and mixed up orders happen frequently. It’s worth the wait though, just check your bag before you leave to make sure it’s correct!

Julia's is fantastic! The staff are very attentive. Went there tonight. Had the BBQ sliders, arepas (highly recommend), as well as apple goat cheese salad. My partner went for brunch a few weeks ago with some friends from upstate and had a fabulous time. One of the nice things is there are a lot of gluten-free/vegan options as well as a variety of mocktails for those who don't imbibe.

I usually like this place but I waited an hour and a half for them to make my food wrong twice. I ordered the spam bun gluten free and when it first came out after waiting 50min it had crunchy onions on it that are not gluten free and asked them to remake it. I ordered the noodles but once it was remade they gave me rice.

Great food, solid prices, nice staff. I usually get cream cheese on their toasted gluten-free bread (which is quite good), but I got their cheddar "smashbrowns" with bacon added today and realized it was time to give them a review. Also, everyone who works there is incredibly sweet. Beyond being accommodating with substitutions and such, they're just super chill.

I recently started going to this magical little cafe. I get the gluten free brownie with an ice coffee while I sit outside and read. Quite a lovely little oasis :)

Finally visited this wonderful shop! Well curated selection of Italian pantry goods, cheese, deli, and prepared foods. Lots of neat Sicilian products. They had a selection of gluten free pasta and flour. Great addition to the neighborhood. Can’t wait to eat my way through the store!
