Top 19 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Providence

Isabela Guillen

I’ve come to Plant City several times- but my most recent experience was just incredible and has prompted me to write a review. I got the T-BLAT (blt with shiitake mushroom bacon) on gluten free bread and my, my it was DIVINE! The bread was so good for being gluten free and the filling was decadent, nicely filled with lettuce, and a nice balance of spice, saltiness and creaminess from the chipotle mayo and avocado. I highly recommend. They also have a wide variety of hot/iced drinks, as well as a to go food counter with food like sushi and noodles, and many gluten free pastries. I also really love their grocery section with many high quality plant based foods and other snacks. The cafe itself is also just very relaxing and nice with lots of natural light and comfortable seating. I LOVE plant city!

GF donuts are delicious but not Celiac safe if you are very sensitive.

This place is such a hidden gem!!! I stumbled in after my intended coffee shop down the street was too crowded, and boy am i glad I did. Shastea offers a wide range of customizable teas, with seemingly myriad flavors, caffeine levels, and tea types - white, green, herbal, etc - to choose from. There was also a great selection of sweet and savory crepes which could be made gluten free!! I had the loveliest morning sipping my herbal latte, snacking on a guava crepe, and doing some work in the quiet back room. A great place to study - I will definitely be returning!

Incredibly nice people and such a great gluten free menu! I got the Ultimate Grinder and their gluten free clam chowder. The staff was knowledgeable about gluten. They even had gluten free cookies available but opted for the bowl of chowder instead. We also order the regular Ultimate Grinder which also looked incredible

As the name suggests, the location is very small but the latte was top notch, as was the gluten free coffee cake.

Brian the owner was so friendly! The food was delicious, and they were very accommodating to a vegan gluten free diet.

From start to finish, our catered bridal shower experience was nothing short of exceptional! The team behind the scenes not only delivered delicious food but also were a joy to work with. This was my first catered event and the folks at Ellie's were so helpful. They were professional and genuinely invested in making our bridal shower unforgettable. The staff accommodated gluten-free, vegetarian and dairy free requests and the entire process was seamless and stress-free. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to cater an event. Thanks to Stephanie, Maria, Ellen and the rest of the crew.

These jerks charge 12$ extra now for the raspberry sauce for the gluten free chocolate cake. That sauce used to come WITH the cake. They also used to include whipped cream but not anymore! This business is SO GREEDY I cannot believe it. Awful I’m never coming back. I begged the worker to give me a tiny bit of the sauce and she caved fortunately, but that’s so bad of them to not include everything anymore.

I’ve been a member of the wine club for almost a year. Great monthly wine choices, great atmosphere! When I have been there for lunch, great gluten-free (I’m non-celiac) options!

Anna Hardesty

Sin absolutely outdid themselves with our wedding cake! Delicious, beautiful, and with half gluten free and half vegan. I was so blow away by the taste I was begging for their secrets. If you want a delicious wedding cake that fits all your dietary needs, look no further!

Jason Hyde

Delicious crepes, has the Campania and is really good. Wish they had maple syrup but the sweet crepes look good. They have gluten free for both sweet and savory crepes.

Lisa Medeiros

Must return to taste the macarons. A definite must-try for anyone looking for a quick bite or sweet treat in Prov, especially if you have a wheat allergy like me! Delightful gluten free options. A bright and creative atmosphere for sure.

My boss always brings me a large White Lightning extra sweet almost every weekend at work, their coffee is AMAZING 🥰 And today I finally got to try the food! I ordered a gluten free bagel with extra cream cheese (they put extra cream cheese! Most places I go to never hear me out about my extra cream cheese! They put the perfect amount! ) and then my 8 month pregnant self ordered the ham sandwich on a gluten free bagel. Every ingredient was so FRESH and amazing. The tomatoes were perfect! The micro greens were so fresh! The ham was great, the perfect amount of Mayo and mustard. Gah! It was wonderful. I've never been to the location and today was the first time and wow, the ambience, the vibe it was amazing! I'm so glad I'm only a 5 minute walk away now! Definitely recommend!!!

Great pastries and coffee. Quiche is also outstanding. The gluten-free banana bread and honey cake are phenomenal. Update: Tried the coffee cake. It's the best I've ever purchased. It is amazing.

There are arguably three different ways to come into L'Artisan Cafe & Bakery: 1. Come out of a 6 AM power yoga class down the street craving something like coffee or an avocado toast. 2. Experience a European-styled feel for breakfast. 3. Arrive with the expectation of a getting great food and amazing coffee. I entered L'Artisan for reason number 1, and after ordering a drink and a breakfast sandwich, experienced reason number 2. After my coffee and breakfast, I quickly concluded that it was actually reason 3. Sitting in the cafe and watching the morning sunlight come into the clean, crisp windows was only the beginning of the breakfast experience. The coffee and breakfast sandwich I ordered only added to the experience. The menu provided for gluten free options, adding to my avocado toast-ish excitement. Food and drink were served in a careful fashion. Some places only serve a coffee mug, L'Artisan also places the mug on a plate. The act of lifting the mug from the plate to sip on craft coffee does have it's meaning, almost like the mug has a home to sit on. The experience was so welcoming and Europe inspired that you may want to fly across the Atlantic to enjoy the authentic version of coffee at a European cafe. I welcome you to sit at this cafe and ponder all the various places you can travel to whilst getting your morning started!

I love surprises and the way the bakery menu changes daily is so fun and perfect for that! The staff is so helpful and down to earth, it’s like walking into a room full of morning people (in the best way possible!) The menu itself has plenty of great options for gluten free/vegan dietary restrictions. And despite not having those restrictions myself, I’ve picked up plenty vegan and/or gluten free options in the bakery and loved them all!!

Anyone with food allergies should avoid this establishment. They have a few denotations on the menu, FL being flourless/wheatless. When I inquired about one of those dishes (grape leaves) and asked if it was fully gluten free, he said he couldn’t guarantee it because it had rice, and he suggested the tabbouleh instead. I understand about the rice, as it could be grown next to a wheat field. But, tabbouleh has bulgar wheat in it, which is gluten. To direct me from a cross contamination dish to a fully gluten dish was concerning. I ordered an iced hibiscus tea to go (which was very nice) and headed out.
