Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Explore Across Washington

Brandi Brown Kelley

Ordered a cake for my friend’s birthday. It was ok. The cake was gluten free cake. There was nothing exceptional about it. I asked to have Happy Birthday written on the cake and nothing was written on the cake. The website wasn’t the easiest to navigate in terms of options to pick up the cake. It was very hard to get in contact with them. I ended up constantly calling all the locations until someone picked up to change my pick up location which was automatically picked for me. I was very annoyed when I went to two locations and both were completely empty but no one was answering the phone or responding to emails. It’s a nice option if you need a gluten free cake for a special occasion, but if I wasn’t coming from out of town, I have to say that I could have made better using gluten free boxed cake mix and making a vegan icing. The ladies at the counter were nice enough but one was new and wasn’t able to answer any questions the next location was not fully gluten free but they only held the NuFlour products in a glass case and the person working was unable to answer any questions about serving the cake.

Absolutely loved it here! Dedicated gluten free kitchen and bakery items. I loved it so much had too many pieces of bread🤣

Katelyn Dorsey

Sooooo soo good! They have the BEST gluten free and vegan huge scones. The owner is the sweetest person too!

Today is my Mom's 75th birthday. She has food allergies, so I expect to pay more for a good cake. I ordered a small chocolate cake with vanilla frosting that's also gluten/soy/corn free. With the extra $15 for corn-free powdered sugar I paid $79. I told them it was for a celebration and asked them to put a 75 on top. They told me that, due to the ingredient limitations, they couldn't color the frosting and that the 75 would be white on white. I approved that and told them to just make it look nice. This is what I got. Did a professional decorator do this? It's yellow (is that even safe to eat based on what they told me on the phone when I ordered?). It's not proportional. It isn't even remotely celebratory looking. I could've done it better myself. I'm so disappointed. 3 stars because at least the cake is good.

Delicious baked goods if you don't have to avoid gluten, like heaven if you DO have to avoid gluten. Extremely conscientious about avoiding any cross contamination. The focaccia and brioche are must haves for me, and it's delightful that I can have a slice of cake for celebrations along with everyone else. The racks start to clear quickly, so get there early!

Naomi Peterson

So, so good! We would go there every day if we lived close! I'm celiac and my sister is gluten free and dairy free and it was so great to have a server (shout out to Regan!) who was knowledgeable about cross contamination and a huge selection of the menu to choose from!

Lydia Hocker

Wow- talk about a hidden gem! We went here after a hike near Baker Lake and we were floored by the hand pies and bagel dogs. I am making sure we stop by again before we leave the area. You can tell there is a lot of care put into everything they produce. I am not sensitive to gluten and would be a regular here if I could. Well done.

Bren Baxter

Grain Artisan Bakery is an absolute gem for anyone gluten-free. Their sourdough bread is one of the best I’ve had, tangy, chewy, and it freezes beautifully, so you can always have some on hand. Beyond the bread, they offer a selection of cakes, scones, muffins, and cookies. Everything is gluten-free, and many items are dairy-free and vegan, making it a reliable spot for those with dietary restrictions. Their coffee is just as impressive as their baked goods, and there are plenty of great options to pair with whatever treat you enjoy. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and ready to make great recommendations. I’m so grateful to have a bakery like this nearby, high-quality, safe, and delicious!

Tony Snook

Fully vegan and gluten free. Everything was truly very good. One of our favorite plant-based joints yet. Convenient parking and access. Chill atmosphere. Not busy at all for 9am on a Sunday. Also great coffee and tea place right by it as well. Perfect stop for my family w/ 2 kids passing through town.

N Kline

Really good but odd tasting, it was probably just not my taste of this type of food. I didn’t know the waffles were gluten free but it seems like they use a very fresh type of ingredients for everything, which is good. Everything was still really tasteful but for the family it just tasted a bit off. Service was great. This place should be like 2x the size for the amount of people who love it. I’d come back and try more.

Kelly Nichols

My husband has to be gluten-free and said the biscuit and gravy were good. Will be going back to try more things.

Judy Young

James Brewer

Ordered a gluten-free waffle and a normal waffle to-go today, and they didn't even label the boxs. When we got there, they ignored us

Laura Blystone

I haven’t had a good gluten free bagel in YEARS. This place delivers that and other delicious sweet treats. A must stop if you have allergies. I would post a photo but I ate everything so fast. 🥰

Lysa Allman-Baldwin

I found out about this place on Happy Cow and man was it great! The menu is very diverse, the portion sizes are huge, there are lots of gluten-free options, the prices are very reasonable for what you're getting, and the service and ambience are wonderful. It's no wonder why they've won Best of the Pacific Northwest honors at least twice. Even the meat eaters would be highly satisfied. I can't wait to come back!

Laura Bogh

I purchased a loaf of bread to take to dinner, most of the people there prefer glutenous bread which is why I bring my own. EVERYONE loved this bread! It was fluffy and went well with the meal. Thank you!

Kelly Miller

Staff was great. Gluten free earl grey sugar cookie was amazing. I dipped it in the London fog and it was perfect

Danika Nolton

DJ is so incredibly kind! I tried 2 Gluten and Dairy free donuts this morning. Both were absolutely incredible. They are worth the price 100%. DJ is passionate about making sure people celiac’s and other allergies are safe. He uses dedicated equipment and even dedicated clothing to make sure our food is safe. He doesn’t use any artificial dyes! Amazing! DELICIOUS!! Gluten free, vegan, and SAFE! Ate the donuts before I could get a picture. Today was my first donut in years. He gave me a fresh, warm vanilla donut with rainbow sprinkles right out of the kitchen. He’s got some new products coming out soon, and we got so lucky to get a taste. Everything this guy makes is awesome! Thank you, DJ!

Lauren M

The food here is sooo good! Everything I’ve had so far has been very tasty…Ruben, Pulled Pork, & Pesto Chicken Sandwiches are all dishes I would order again! Even my kids (18,15,9) loved the food and they aren’t GF.

Jordan Slavish

Absolutely fantastic service. Staff was helpful, eager to please, food made right in front of us and it was absolutely delicious. Super accommodating with any and all customizations on the fly, and bent over backwards for gluten free. Went so far as to give us other recommendations for Gluten Free in the area. Would absolutely go back!

I have celiac disease and seeing the "no outside food" sign up made me feel instantly at ease that this place was serious when they serve gluten free! The inside is cute as a button and feels very indie and local with the posters of local events and cute sweatshirts up on the display. The employees were so nice and the food was surisingly incredible. I had the fiesta toast which came out toasted to perfection with a ton of avocado and great flavors. The juices are kinda pricey but the food I think was a good value considering one toast kept me full all day long (which is saying something as a pregnant woman). Great spot, will be coming back!

terry edelbach

Great cupcakes overall many varieties. It's disappointing that they've reduced the gluten free cupcake varieties on display. If you order ahead cakes or cupcakes (by dozen) it's awesome some of the best I've ever had

Colby Fowler

This place is great! Awesome desserts! Lots of gluten-free options and rotating specials. Need a cake for a wedding, or maybe a birthday? Do you have dietary restrictions? They got you. Go check them out. Grab a coffee or maybe a beer.

Chloe Kuhar

Gluten free donuts. Chefs kiss.

Ian Speckmaier

Employees were sooo nice and the crepes came out amazing. It was so filling and exactly what we needed after walking around in the heat. The gluten free options are very extensive with no sacrifice in flavor or freshness.

Sam Hanshaw

Love the food and the people. Great options for Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan folks. Would be perfect if there was a changing table in the bathroom for little ones!

Zayn Canady

Great that there were so many gluten free options. Espresso drinks were great, service staff were very kind. Seating was okay- it was rainy when we went, so we couldn't sit outside but I bet that'd be nice. Highly recommend the herb/cheddar scone!

Wilder Kruzan

We were looking for a place just like this for our meeting- lovely service, decent food, and the ability to chat without a lot of interruptions. Gluten free waffles sealed the deal! It wasn't the best food I've ever had but it did the job and we had a lovely meeting.

Vanessa Ha

Cute little cafe, known for their muffins. I was in the area for an appointment in Silverdale and we wanted something yummy to snack on for our drive back to Seattle. We searched the area and found that this place had decent reviews so we decided to check it out. When we asked for suggestions, the lady that was helping us said "everything here is good" and "its hard to pick a favorite, its like picking a favorite child." So after scanning the menu, we ended up picking 2 muffins - Zucchini Carrot & Blueberry. So we tried to get the morning special that includes a coffee & muffin for $2, but apparently we missed the cut off time. The texture was different... I'm not sure if it was because it was gluten free or something else, but I'm not certain we enjoyed them. They seemed a little pricey for what they were, but maybe this is normal for gluten free muffins / baked goods? It was very crumbly and when we bit into it, it made a huge mess. The muffin was very soft, a little mushy, seemed almost undercooked? I'm not sure, maybe this is normal. Environment is good, clean & lots of seating available. Asked if café was "dog friendly" and they seemed confused by my question. So I wouldn't bring your dog inside unless it is an service dog.

Katrina Vickers

AMAZING!!!! Best gluten free pizza we have found! And the gluten free warm blueberry crumble with ice cream….holy moly! We live a couple of hours away and will be making the drive again! This place is a hidden gem! Well done Wenatchee!!! 👍🏼

Logan Gore

Great food! Incredible gluten free menu! Loud and open cafe

When I think of what makes Olympia, Olympia, it's places like the Blue Heron Bakery that specialize in vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options along with your standard ham and egg type offerings. They also have a full coffee bar with a nice variety of syrup flavors. I got the Mediterranean scramble and it was good. My partner got the tempeh cheese steak, which was also good. Next time I might try their quiche. It's very casual decor wise with exposed storage shelving intermingled with tables. Gives a hippie artist vibe. There's outdoor seating options for nice days. It was about 15-20 to get hot food made, but there were also items that were just ready made to go. Staff were business like. It took a while to be acknowledged, but we weren't in a hurry. Parking was available. I'd bring kids here, especially if you have a vegetarian.

Robin Birb

Had a really good quinoa patty. It’s essentially their version of a gluten free eggs Benedict. Lots of other gluten free options if that’s what you’re looking for. My sister had an egg McMama. A sort of breakfast sandwich type deal that she thought was pretty good as well. Also has a large vegan soup selection. Very nice staff.

Gina Handley, MA

What a great addition to downtown! The space is bright, clean, and well decorated. The staff are friendly. And the doughnuts are pretty good (especially if you need a gluten free option). We tried the chocolate mint (which we really enjoyed) and the churro (which was not bad - but tasted more of holiday spice cake than churro). Overall, we enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back to try other flavor offerings. Pro Tip: All of the doughnuts are gluten free and vegan, with a dense, cake like texture. If that’s not your thing, there are other doughnut spots in town that might be more to your liking.

Derin Çayır

The food was delicious and the portions were huge!!! The atmosphere was hectic even early in the Sonday morning. But I will recommend here for a quick breakfast. Also tons of vegetarian and gluten-free options!!

Erika C

Visited from out of town and as someone who is gluten free, I’ve never had so many options! Everything was delicious (for being gluten free haha) and I had a good experience. Wendy was our server and was not only super kind but also very patient with me and my questions and super willing to accommodate for me. I haven’t had French toast in literal years! Everything was great and if I’m ever in town again, I will definitely be coming back!

I used to like to go here for gluten free stuff but I just watched a guy touch nearly everything, including sticking his hands in the salad bin to grab fistfuls of salad out after grabbing french toast, pancakes, and crepes. Meaning nothing here is actually gluten free because they don't use utensils behind the counter, just thoroughly rubbing gloved hands on everything without changing them. They're also nearly impossible to contact if you have a question.

Kassie Bode

Came here with my daughter on a day off school and the vibe was 10/10 and the bagel was even better!! I am celiac and got a gluten free bagel sandwich and cinnamon rolls and they were soooo good!! We will be back!

Tam R

This was a really sweet find. Gluten free turkey sandwich was over the top. The vegan burger, just yum. The GF pumpkin and blueberry muffins, just super good.

Sun Cat365

Great food, vegan options and very helpful about gluten and dairy intolerances. Try the vegan bacon if available.

Jessica Edwards

This place not only has the greatest name… the doughnuts and coffees are so delicious!!! I had the maple bar and apple fritter… so so good!!! My friend had the gluten free dairy free ones and said they were so good!!! The owner is super kind!!

Brooke Bucci

Amazing food and espresso. So many great gluten free options. The crustless quiche is really yummy. Thanks for making tasty gluten free food!!!

jeremy T

Remodeled the store, now everything is 30-50% more expensive. Not as worth it, anymore, especially now that Walmart is carrying popular gluten-free brands...

Kayla Richey

New favorite breakfast joint in down town! Love all their gluten free options. Wonderful service and food. Love that their patio is dog friendly! Definitely can’t wait to come back again! Would recommend to anyone :)

Allison Agostinelli

This place runs like clockwork! I do not know who organizes and hires but they do an amazing job. No one is lazy here and they work as a team. I wish I could have this where I work! Oh and the food is great AND they have amazing gluten free bread! It is loud because of the room so be aware if that bothers you.

Liz White

Vibrant yet old fashioned atmosphere. Very friendly staff, accommodated our vegan family. The sweet potato hash was delicious, non dairy options for espresso, and their new gluten free vegan ginger molasses cookies are amazing. Will be back!!

A B

Wonderful service, lots of gluten-free and vegitarian options. Several dishes can be made vegan. I recommend going to their site and being added to the reservation list on weekends. We did that before leaving home (it said it was a 45 min wait for a table) and by the time we arrived the table was almost available! Staff are super friendly and helpful. Portions are MASSIVE!

Hannah Amos

Delicious food and they take great care to ensure their gluten-free food is free of cross-contact in the kitchen.

catherine weaver

I loved the great selection of delicious gluten free foods and especially the gluten free clam chowder. The ambience is nice and it is located in the beautiful Skagit Valley near the tulip fields. A satisfying experience all around.

Kat Ross

I really wanna like this place. I do. The food is pretty good and they have a lot of vegan and gluten-free options which I appreciate. However, no matter how much time you prep to get your items, or you order ahead using their app, they always seem to mess up your order. I’m multiple occasions. I’ve ordered up to 45 minutes in advance, giving plenty of time for them to create my order. I’m not a complex gal. I don’t add a lot of substitutions. Just today I ordered ahead, Latte and a muffin. Pretty easy. I got there to find out my stuff wasn’t ready, and the staff seem to be extremely confused. They messed up my order three times to the point where I just had to go because I didn’t want to be late for work. They didn’t really care to apologize just kept trying to remake it before clarifying what they actually need to remake. I feel like this is one of those moments where they needed to slow down to speed up. This place is one of the few places I can go quickly due to where I work. I really want to like this place, but it’s hard when almost every time my order is messed up or not ready. Seems like the owner cares a lot about his business so I hope this feedback is something that they can work on or make a plan for because the place is really neat and the food is good
