Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in Vermont

Lauren Erickson

I am not exaggerating when I say the citrus poppy seed muffin I had today brought tears to my eyes. West Meadow Farm Bakery has, hands down, the best gluten free baked goods I have ever had. The absolute best part? Their loaves of bread are actually sandwich sized!!!!! I cannot wait to make French toast with the oatmeal bread, and a grilled cheese with the white bread. Many dairy free options as well! Gluten free baking is expensive. There’s no getting around it. There are so many ingredients and components involved. This place is 100% worth the cost. I’m already spending $8 a loaf at the grocery store. I would rather pay $10 for a better quality product and support a small business. And the bread isn’t pre-sliced so I can cut it to my liking!!! I can’t wait to go back!

First time there. Got warm chicken curry bowl. Establishment is clean, staff are nice, food is fresh and delicious and plentiful. Will definitely go back again and again. I have celiac disease and it's nice not having to worry since the place is 100% gluten free.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Healthy Living Market & Cafe multiple times, and each visit has left a lasting impression. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, offering a wide range of healthy options from salads and wraps to hearty bowls and sandwiches. Their menu caters to various dietary preferences, with plenty of vegan, gluten-free, and organic choices. One standout is their smoothie bar, where you can customize your drink with an assortment of fresh fruits, veggies, and add-ins. The service is always friendly and efficient. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and quick to offer suggestions if you're unsure about what to order. I have never had to wait long, and they take care to ensure the food is prepared just the way you want it. The ambiance is another highlight. The cafe has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with plenty of natural light streaming in from large windows. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a meal, whether you're dining solo, with friends, or even for a casual business meeting. The market side of the store is well-organized and stocked with high-quality products, from local produce to natural health supplements, making it a great one-stop shop for health-conscious consumers. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or spending time there to enjoy the ambiance, Healthy Living Market & Cafe is a must-visit for anyone in the area looking for healthy, flavorful food with excellent service.

Kenna Anderson

AMAZING food! I am gluten and dairy free and they were able to accommodate their breakfast sandwiches and lattes to my needs. The atmosphere is very homey and warm. The staff were so kind and very helpful/patient when I needed to customize my sandwiches. I definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Katerina J. Wilson

Best gluten free muffins!

Daniela Riedlova

The best thing I’ve ever eaten: their gluten free vegan blondie with maple syrup, chocolate chunks, and walnuts. It was AMAZING. Delicious. Incredible. They warmed it up and it was melt in your mouth good. Thank you for having so many good vegan options!!

Ricky Padgett

Superior customer service; quaint space and the best breakfast food in Stowe. Several gluten free options-I had a crustless quiche that was the best I have had in a bakery and cafe. You will love this!

After experiencing the magical Forest of Lights winter wonderland in Quechee, VT, my wife and I decided to cap off the evening with dinner at Tuckerbox, a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant in White River Junction. We booked a reservation for 7:30 PM, and though parking was a bit challenging due to what seemed like an event in the area, we eventually found a spot close by and enjoyed a short walk to the restaurant. The ambiance at Tuckerbox was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and a cozy, elegant vibe. The staff was attentive and welcoming, which made for an exceptional dining experience. To start off, we ordered the Turkish Meze Platter (small, $14.99) - a perfect choice for sharing. The platter included a delightful assortment of haydari, hummus, babaganoush, Turkish salsa, stuffed grape leaves, and lavash bread, with fresh veggie sticks for a gluten-free option. Each bite was bursting with authentic flavors, and the variety made it an excellent introduction to Turkish cuisine. For dinner, I had the Lamb Stuffed Eggplant (Karnıyarık) ($22.99) - a beautifully fire-roasted eggplant stuffed with seasoned ground lamb, tomato, red pepper, onion, garlic, and parsley. It was served with rice pilav and a refreshing yogurt cucumber sauce. The dish was rich, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the recommended Angora wine. My wife chose the Lamb Meatball Güveç (Köfteli) ($23.99) - tender grilled lamb meatballs cooked with tomato, mushroom, onion, pepper, and eggplant. It was hearty and delicious, and the Angora wine complemented it beautifully. For dessert, we shared the Tahini & Helva Brownie ($9.99) - a dark chocolate brownie stuffed with Turkish helva and topped with a marbling of tahini. Served with crème fraîche, it was a decadent and unique finish to our meal. Tuckerbox exceeded our expectations with its fantastic food, charming atmosphere, and excellent service. We highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine!

What a great first time experience! I came in on a whim and was not disappointed, gluten free toast delicious sausage and a full bodied decaf latte. The staff is extremely attentive to all needs and are efficient and kind. Fun atmosphere with 70s rock/ disco in the background and many locals catching up with each other. One of the staff members even gave me some free cookies as an apology for my latte taking “too long” to make- it was less than 5min. I highly recommend this little gem!

Phoenix Bednar

Gluten free bread, win! I spend under 25 dollars for a breakfast platter with a large coffee with gf bread and local raspberry jam, double win! Genuinely my go-to place for a quick breakfast before work.

eleanor sweetwood

Delicious, healthy food. Extensive beverage section. Gluten free options. Fast service. We love this place.

Rebecca Rutt

We just ate here, a family of six with 4 kids ages 11-5. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff were friendly and helpful. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend! Three of our kids are Gluten Free and there were lots of options!

Christian Richards

Huge variety of bakery items, many of which are gluten free. Great coffee and excellent, friendly service!

Daniel Brady-Smith

Very good! I’m celiac and I didn’t have an issue with their gluten free options!

Allison Mandell

The absolute best place for breakfast, lunch, or just a quick stop in for a latte or some baked goods. They have the actual friendliest and most attentive staff, the most delicious food, and they even have tons of gluten free and vegan items. My favorite place in southern Vermont (maybe all of Vermont?), hands down. Plus they even have matcha lattes now too!

Niyeti Shah

This place is heaven, for meat and non meat eaters! Im celiac and vegan and they took SUCH amazing care of us - M and Kaleb are so kind and wonderful, weve come back three times in ten days. We could not recommend more!!!

Mich Besse

This place was awesome!! We went this morning as well as yesterday and they were able to cater to my allergy with gluten free options. Jasmine was also so friendly! They are cash or check only. Definitely try their lingonberry cream cheese- it’s so good!

Amanda Sutter

Gluten free eggs benedict was a pleasant surprise but somehow only got 1 poached egg instead of 2, and probably paid more for it (GF bread not marked on the menu). UPDATE: When alerted to the issue, they were very responsive and refunded me for the missing egg. Recommend checking them out!

Jillian Misrack

Incredible lunch spot with friendly counter staff and THE BEST BROWN BUTTER GLUTEN FREE SNICKERDOODLE I’ve ever tasted.

MJ Griego

Tons of gluten free options, a nooski classic. Gets very busy so expect a line. Wish there was more like it in the area

Billy Filiault

Decided to take one of my best friends to St. Johnsbury for his birthday weekend-he showed me the town online and told me about Dog Mountain, so, of course I booked a 5 day trip to the historic VT town! Well, we both love breakfast. I always felt I could eat breakfast any time for any reason so whenever I go anywhere, my first search is “where to eat breakfast near me”. We tried another place the first day…but the second day we went to The Kitchen Counter. It was the best decision for breakfast and the first morning was all I needed to know that this little cafe would steal my pancake, egg and bacon filled heart! I ordered the eggs Benedict with tomato and spinach (I try the Eggs Benny at every breakfast place) and I was not disappointed. Coffee is self serve and free pours. If you sit on the stools at the counter, the servers and chefs are right in front of you serving and making your food while conversation fills the room. The busier it seems, the better this well-oiled machine runs. I decided I would return for the remainder of our trip. The second day, I couldn’t decide if I wanted blueberry pancakes or the biscuits & gravy with eggs, so I got both and our hostess was full of smiles and a bubbly personality. I haven’t tasted a more satisfying sausage gravy than when I made it myself at home with my grandmothers recipe. It turns out Crystal, the chef, makes this homemade sausage gravy in-house and special for Sundays…I am SOOOO glad I got the opportunity to experience it! I would give The Kitchen Counter Cafe a 10 out of 5 if I could and I encourage you to walk in with a hungry belly because you are bound to be satisfied! They do have vegan and gluten free options.

Violet Paley

Zoe was so nice! Super helpful for gluten free requirements :)

Jericho Burg

It's a nice diner-type restaurant with some good options for gluten-free vegetarians, and many other choices for folks without dietary restrictions. The servers are very friendly, and there are locally made quilts for sale that were fun to look at while we were eating.

Laurel Shelmandine

I just found my new favorite lunch place. True empanadas and they are gluten-free! The empanada platter was two huge empanadas so I will get two meals out of this one. I look forward to going back and trying other items. Because I don't speak any other language, there was a bit of difficulty in my understanding the questions as I ordered but it just confirmed that there folks were preparing authentic foods. Next up will be trying their carnitas.

Alison Yuhas

Awesome selection of gluten free goodies. Love that there's a farmers market across from here on Sunday's. Almost removed a star because it's a bit on the expensive side, but the quality makes up for it and it's one of the only close by grocery stores.

Kirsten Schaal

Second time at this coffee shop. They are all so friendly here, have great coffee and a decent selection of gluten and dairy free baked goods!

Judy Bleecker

Food was so good and gluten free. I haven't egg benedict in almost 20 years. My non gluten companions all enjoyed French toast, pancakes, and quiche.

Venessa Luck

My favorite lunch spot in Colchester, plus they accommodate gluten free really well. Highly recommend!

Lexi McHenry

All the waffles are GF! My boyfriend despises anything gluten free (picky guy) and after our waffles he said wow I may go gluten free 😅

Melina LaValley

Very friendly and helpful. Would go back anytime. gluten free options!

Sunil Vasudeva

Excellent gluten-free options and their lattes are a cut above the rest! Fantastic atmosphere, alert, courteous and hospitable service from a very friendly and customer oriented staff! 5 stars all the way!

Morgan Bartlau

Everything here is so great. Excellent quality coffee, extremely friendly staff. I love that they have gluten free options. I stop in multiple times per week.

Josh Zimmer

Flat iron is a great little cafe to come feel cozy in, to read a book, meet up with friends, or get some work/fun done on your laptop. They have great gluten free bakery options and their baked goods are just tasty in general. Great coffee and the super friendly/helpful service. It's always a joy to come into flat iron, I am always met with a smile.

Carmie G

Great outdoor seating. Very amicable service and clean cafe. They have gluten free bread and wraps. The gluten free avacado toast was delicious. Wonderful coffee.lgbtqi friendly

Diane Strickland

Best Morning Glory muffins anywhere, and they’re Gluten-free, which is great for people with Celiac Disease. Thank you!

Erin Mazur

I LOVE this place, especially given that I Celiac and dairy intolerance and can safely eat here.

Dan Tomaino

Update 8/2023 Consider removing the “wrap” stickers from your window even if you haven’t had them for six month. This will prevent people from having to stop in to only be told you don’t have them anymore. Some people may want wrap or gluten free bread but the only option here are bagels. *** Always a good place to stop for a quick breakfast while on the way to work, traveling, or waking down Shelburne Rd. They have a big assortment of muffins as well and their drink cooler is always stocked. They have a decent coffee selection. Speeder and Earl’s and can make a few specialty coffee drinks as well. Their salad and sandwich selection is extensive. My only gripe would be that their wraps aren’t that big and they don’t really stuff them full.

Alexandra Krissy Martel

I've purchased 3 kinds of really good coffee beans, and enjoy those flavors at home ! Perfect gluten free sandwich and cappucino over there too.

Amanda Sabella

It was a nice scenic drive and well worth it. They had serval options to choose from and some were even gluten free. My husband and I were both able to find several items and were ecstatic to see gluten free waffles which will be breakfast tomorrow. The place is small but packed with lots of goodies at a great price.

Anna

The most delicious breakfast sandwich with homemade sausage and on a gluten free bun! We also appreciate the easy on line ordering!

Serpentina D

Great cappuccino (smooth and not acidic) and great gluten free pastry options (brownie, almondhorn).

Grace A

Stopped here after a sauna and had one of the best gluten free sandwhiches of my existence… the Junco was on a GF bagel and was packed with homemade onion jam, bacon, arugula and cheese. It had the perfect crunch of the bagel and they asked if it was allergy vs preference and were thoughtful about contamination. Great staff. Absolutely recommend stopping here

Ellen Cheney

Coffee cornerstone of Montpelier. Awesome staff! Fresh, made to order light food, good pastry, cookies, and a wide variety of hot and cold beverages. Great gluten free options.

KC Shogren

The new owners are doing an amazing job of keeping the same excellent food and service in the heart of Waterbury. Now they have gluten free bagels!

Angela Kelley

Cool coffee shop! Very chill, thrifty, hippy, nifty vibes. Free wifi, so some people had their laptops. So happy they had some gluten-free baked goods available as I needed a little snack with my latte! It was yum! Hubby and I sat and enjoyed our time. Bathroom could've been cleaner but the place was busy and only 2 workers, so I get it.

K H (kahvt58)

One of the best lunch and breakfast places in the area. Delicious sandwiches and pastries, including gluten free.
