Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes Across Pennsylvania

Colleen Wallen

I rated based solely on the food and its presentation because I ordered for delivery. The gluten-free Margherita pizza was delicious! The large came in 2 small boxes; so easy to dispose!

amazing, life changing

If you’re seeking a whimsical wonderland of brews and bites, look no further than Deja Brew-my absolute favorite spot to sip, savor, and smile! From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere wraps you in a cozy, casual hug that’s as clean as a whistle and twice as fun. The staff? Oh, they’re not just friendly-they’re the kind of caring souls who’ll make sure a gentleman safely crosses the street before returning to craft your perfect cup. Talk about service with heart! Gluten-free friends, rejoice! Deja Brew boasts a dedicated gluten-free menu that’s nothing short of fabulous, with holiday pre-orders that taste so ahhh-mazing you’ll be dreaming of quiches and muffins long after your last bite. Speaking of quiche, I highly recommend trying one (or everything, really)-each morsel bursts with flavor and love. In short, Deja Brew isn’t just a coffee shop; it’s a joyful retreat where every detail-from the warm smiles to the scrumptious gluten-free goodies-is brewed to perfection.

Love coming to South house before any events at the sports complex. Lots of gluten free food options. Just wish they carried a cider that wasn't downeast!

Dayna Shallenberger

First time ever here and what a gem! It's fine dining in the most comfortable atmosphere. Every ingredient and combination is carefully thought out. It's a dream for people who eat gluten free. They even packed a gluten free crepe along with a homemade roast, carrots and onions for my niece to take home to Johnstown for her husband. I cant recommend it enough! ps. wonderful, kind & friendly staff.

Henry Lavoie

Good food, great atmosphere, prompt service, offer a gluten free menu

Pellet Pelletier

Safe and Delicious for Celiacs!! David the waiter was awesome, attentive and receptive to my celiac disease and needs to avoid cross-contamination. Celiacs, you can eat out again. Great atmosphere as well.

Emma Flihan

Not celiac safe at all. Came here because a friend told me the guy who works at the front has celiac and is very conscientious. Not my experience at all. Staff was curt and short. Sicker than I’ve been in a very long time. Really a shame because the food was delicious

This small, quaint café in Oakdale left a lasting impression on me and my boyfriend today before we decide to move away from Pittsburgh. I had visited it once before and was drawn in by the inviting pictures, but upon arriving, I realized how quite small and intimate the space truly was. There was only one worker—who, impressively, seemed to have handled everything himself. I find it very outstanding of a chef. The display cases showcased an array of handmade desserts, pasta, and pastries, with a menu thoughtfully catering to gluten-free and vegan diets. Though I’m not vegan, I have an interest in trying options that I personally feel will be better for myself.I appreciate places that provide inclusive options, and I especially have a heart for local businesses who emphasize fresh and handmade. Inclusivity & Craftsmanship: 10/10 Before visiting, I read reviews about the chef’s demeanor, with some describing him as indifferent and off-putting. However, understanding that the café has a European influence, I took this with an open mind as well as with an understanding that the Chef himself may not be from here. Social norms can be completely different from people abroad compared to the norms here. American customers here may not take lightly how he may represent himself or appear to others. Although, from my perspective and in taking in consideration everything I've read, he just appeared quiet and reserved—perhaps a bit awkward—but certainly not rude at all. In fact, my boyfriend and I can agree that his food spoke for him and represented a lot of his personality in itself. The atmosphere, while peaceful, could feel a little tense without background music (although that may be just being that me and my boyfriend were the only customers at the time) Its kind of funny to say but personally even the seating had an oddly awkward charm just as much as the chef did himself. Atmosphere: 7/10 For my first visit, I ordered a freshly made zucchini pasta and a tiramisu-flavored latte. The chef was able to quickly brew the coffee up and even brought to me to my seat. Tasting the coffee, I could feel just how refreshing it was. Unlike other coffee spots, the coffee wasn't too sweet nor was it too harsh, it was the perfect balance for me. Crafted with almond milk which catered to its plant-based menu. Not a lot of coffees I’ve had that made me feel it as refreshing. As I was sitting, waiting for my pasta I could see and watch from a distance that the Chef was right there hand making the pasta from scratch! I can see that he really puts in the effort to his word of it being fresh. The dish was zesty, flavorful, and bursting with fresh vegetables. The pasta was phenomenal. I can tell that this cafe was dedicated to getting good ingredients, possibly local/organic. You can tell just by how it taste! On our most recent visit today, my boyfriend and I tried the tarte pastries. They were a little dry at first which seems to be the only thing I seemed to have disliked, but despite that, the flavors of the tarte itself were layered and rich. I had a chocolate pistachio tarte, and he chose a walnut one—both were satisfying. The coffee was just as refreshing as before, and I was surprised to see the pumpkin spice flavor was still available! We ended the visit with an assortment of macaroons, which were phenomenal, each offering distinct flavors and textures, from light and fluffy to crisp and tart. Food: 9/10 Despite how quiet and awkward the atmosphere may be, as my boyfriend says, the personality of the place came with the food that was served and thats what tied it altogether. The awards on the wall hint at a deeper story of how it became, and this little local gem is one I won’t forget after leaving Pittsburgh. We’ll definitely return for brunch and review that as well before we go, and I highly recommend others to give it a try. Enjoy a handcrafted coffee and pastry in this quiet, unique, unassuming spot—don’t let the awkwardness deter you, because the food speaks for itself.

When friends and I found this area for a bachelorette celebration (middle ground between VA, MA, and NY where we all live), we were so thrilled to find there was a gluten free bakery (one of us is Celiac). However, the bakery would be closed on the days of our visit. I reached out via Erica’s website form with our slightly (very?) unconventional cake idea and she responded immediately with resounding positivity AND offered to open on a day off for us to pick it up. Erica, thank you so, SO much for making our time in PA so special with this hilarious cake. Everyone loved it. You nailed the vision and brought it to life even better than we could have imagined. Not to mention this was an absurdly delicious cake. The red velvet was phenomenal. We feel so lucky and appreciative that you accommodated us—this community is beyond fortunate to have you in it. We all can’t wait to visit again and will certainly plan around your normal business hours to be able to experience some more delicious treats! Thank you x a bajillion, we won’t forget this.

I enjoyed the coffee and gluten free cookies !

Helen Kish

Great restaurant with trendy, cute atmosphere and good food. There is a diverse menu with lots of options including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free foods.

Jeremy Kelley

I met here with some family for the first time. The food and coffee were amazing and the prices were even better! They have a large selection of gluten free food which is great due to a number of family members having a gluten allergy. I will definitely be coming back here often.

Alexa Beatty

Food is always spectacular! Olivia was such an incredible server. Very kind and knowledgeable about gluten allergy and menu! She didn't steer us wrong!

Bethany Talarico

Staff was very kind and immediately helped each guest even though it was crowded in the bakery. This bakery was recommended to me because they had gluten free offerings. I wasn’t super impressed because the gluten free pastries were mixed in throughout the regular pastries and were not in a dedicated refrigerator case. Additionally, most of the GF options were cookies which are easy to make at home and I was looking for more of a treat. I opted for this gluten free “Chocolate Bottom Cupcake” and thought it looked in the case to be a chocolate cupcake with cookie dough. Unfortunately, I discovered it to be filled with cream cheese and chocolate chips. I wasn’t a fan and won’t return in the future.

Cristal Rae

My family enjoyed their breakfast, their sandwiches looked delicious. I enjoyed the gluten free scone - thank you!

mel stark

She is amazing! I place my order 2 weeks before I come home and have baked goodies while I am here and some for me to take back down state.

Amelia Tahaney

Incredibly unique and reasonable restaurant. We enjoyed our lunch so very very much. Many gluten free options. I would eat here again. Our first Tomato Pie.....it won't be our last.

Becky Joy

Very confused why this is listed as only “accommodating”…. This shop is 100% gluten free and has the nicest most sincere staff in the world. The baked goods are SO GOOD and so are the drinks!

Jeffrey Dick

A delightful place in a small town. Easy to miss but you will be happy.tpu didn't. Parking in the back. A diverse menu with some selections you don't always find. A Montecristo that was very good. The crab cake sandwich was a delight. Bib lettuce ans tomato on a brioche bun excellent. Breakfast items look good. Plenty of gluten free options and smoothies. Desserts looked good as well. Inside is quiet and lots of seating Front porch Is also an option and we enjoyed that. Good portion size and good prices

Sandra Keenan

I have Celiac and got the GF French toast, bacon and a Mocha iced coffee. It has been a while since I had French toast and I enjoyed this way too much. I finished every single bite.! Will be our go to café when we come back to Hershey

Suzie Bradrick

One of our GF go to especially for breakfast

Denise Haflich

Such a cute spot for coffee and gluten-free goodies

lisa hiegel

Amazing gf bakery and breakfast items

Ana Santillán

Very delicious drinks, delicious bread too. Don't pigeonhole yourself with Starbucks! You are going to love this place! The zuccini bread is very delicious, although it has gluten and is very sweet, but it is one of their specialties and it is good to try a piece.

Abigail Kimball

This review is about the location in Southside. There's a tl;dr at the end. I did take-away so it was a limited atmosphere experience. Seemed like a normal kind of diner, just more brown and wooden? I was VERY excited when I learned they make gluten free waffles (I have Celiac disease). It's only for the "design your own" section, at least when ordering online. Not for the specials. You also can't specify decaf for any of the coffee drinks (I ordered the signature drink that was supposed to have hazelnut, vanilla, and maple flavor with foam on top). But I figured I could deal with full caf for a day, and if I happened to get there before they made it, I could always ask them to do decaf instead. The order was supposed to be ready to be picked up at 16 past the hour. I got there shortly after that and it wasn't ready. The place was basically empty. As far as I could hear and see there were two tables there, two servers, and two kitchen staff. They were all sort of meandering around slowly, and when one server finally came to greet me, they weren't pleasant at all. I've been a server multiple times in different places, so I know how hard it can be and always try to give the benefit of the doubt, so I was friendly to them and told them my name and what I was there for. They had me sign a receipt (we'd already tipped 15-20% online, our usual for take-away), then set it down and just walked away. Another server came out and started prepping a to-go hot drink and I asked if that was mine and if so, could they make it decaf please, since there wasn't a way to request that online? The server just said "it's not yours," and finished what they were doing. Apparently didn't tell the other server. I waited another 10 minutes before the other server brought out the bag and said "here you go!" (the friendliest anybody had been). I said I still had a drink. The signature. Then I remembered we'd ordered it separately, trying to do it decaf, so I apologized and explained it was a separate check. They sighed and started prepping it and I quickly asked about the decaf, explaining the order issue. They didn't respond, but I could tell they were unhappy about it. I felt badly, but I had been very friendly, and when I was a server I was happy just to have someone be friendly and kind to me. Nobody ever tipped me on take-away orders. I only had 45min to have lunch with my spouse IF the food had been ready on time, which it wasn't, and now because of the very long wait I was going to have about 10min with him. I just wanted to get out of there, so I wasn't paying much attention while the server made my drink. I thanked her when I got it, and rushed out. It wasn't until I tasted it a few minutes later when I was at my spouse's office that I realized it was plain coffee/espresso. I don't even know if it was decaf. But it tasted terrible and had none of the things from the signature drink in it I'd paid for. I wasn't going to go back, obviously, because we had no time at that point, and it looked like it was just those employees on the floor. So my spouse drank it instead because he can drink motor oil if it smells like coffee. Tl;Dr It was super depressing atmosphere inside, servers were rude, food wasn't ready in time, so it ruined rare lunch date with spouse, and I was given plain coffee instead of signature drink I paid for. Lame. 2/5 stars. Only gets even the 2 stars because of the gf waffles, which I haven't been able to have since developing Celiac disease after a major surgery. Those were tasty.

Abby Shump-Kanicki

gluten free options for all waffles! and they taste great.

aubrey m

Love being able to get a sandwich when out. I go there all the time and the servers are all wonderful. the owners are friendly as well. They really try and find the best GF bread so sometimes change it up if they think they found something better.

Jessica Holland

Amazing vegan and gluten-free dining! I’ve never had such delicious vegan ranch. I wish I lived closer. I would 100% recommend.

Susan K

Lovely, cozy restaurant with great food, nice staff. Gluten free options!

Sarah Young

Love everything about this place! The coffee is phenomenal, the cupcakes are so tasty and original (not the same thing week after week). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My husband is gluten free and said they have the best gluten free dessert he’s ever had.

Patti C

Amazing! Everything is homemade & delicious. AND totally gluten free friendly! Lovely customer service. GF cream cheese pumpkin muffins were amazing.

Keighly Baron

Gluten free heaven! Get the white bean chili with corn bread!

Michelle Westfall

I am gluten free, loved my food! I ordered the BBQ on cheese bread and the yuca cocnut cake. Loved it so much I bought sevearl cheese bread rolls and cake to bring home. Employees were so nice. Place is small (about 9 tables) located on a cute street with fun shopping. Tbere 4 of us and we all enjoyed our meals, desserts and coffee.

Pruett Newton

$17 for one gluten free waffle with mushy raspberries. Atmosphere does not reflect how expensive this place is for mediocre waffles. I do not reccomend this restaurant as the first place to go for breakfast.

Cam

Celiacs looooove this place (good gluten free options)

Keithe Merl

Nudy's is great. Awesome gluten free pancakes and waffles. Service is always good and food is served fast.

Andrew H

Such a lovely place. The owners are really humble and the products are really terrific. The scone is gluten free and vegan. It was a perfect balance of being baked perfectly and the exact amount of frosting to give a hint of sweetness, but not overwhelming like a cupcake and also not dry. The teas are top notch.

Tonya Spencer

This place is awesome. They even have gluten free options. The gluten free pancakes are great. Very friendly staff. Please tip them well their staff is outstanding!!! Awesome place!!

Raymond Stoudt

Gluten free options

jen sluyk

Super friendly! We got some truffles and macaroons to go and everything is so delicious! So much gluten free options! From chocolate covered GF Oreos, to GF s’mores truffles, and of course macaroons! Prices aren’t bad!

Anthony

Highly recommend the Sacre Bleu-berry French toast! Had a delicious house made peach cream cheese which was unique. There are a lot of options whether you're vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. The inside was a little dated, but nothing to be turned away from. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. Overall a solid spot for breakfast, can't see going wrong with anything on the menu here.

smeakus reilly

excellent coffee; superb food; spotlessly clean cafe; eclectic music; helpful, friendly staff; outdoor seating; mustsee new paint outside; vegan and glutenfree; kids welcome; buku menu selections

Saul Kaiserman

Excellent vibe, delicious food, lots of gluten free and decaf options

JY K

Amazing attention and the waitress was very knowledgeable about GF options and saying if there was cross contamination risks. Chai Latte was delicious and loved the variety they offer!

John G

Gluten free and dairy free options. Definitely worth the stop. Savory and desert crepes are all good. Great drinks too.

Christy Hoover

Few places deserve five stars but Chef de Crepe consistently provides excellent food and service. I’ve been hear at least 10 times and LOVE the Gluten Free options. It’s a family-owned restaurant ran with a love for all things French. She has perfected the crepes and I can’t wait to visit again. C’est fantastique!

James Carlson

Love the food they do really well for me and my gluten free needs. Place is always busy and is sometimes a long wait but overall I do enjoy it and go back frequently
