Top 43 Gluten-Free Cafes to Explore in Seattle

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.

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!

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.

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. 🥰

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Stephanie Brown

Great gf options! Would come back

Claire OBrien

Super lovely place. The cake and ice cream are GREAT and the Gluten Free Cakes are excellent!! As a GF eater, I was super happy to have so many choices! It was a bit expensive ($16 for cake + ice cream), but worth it!

Naomi Stanley

Just came to this shop because I’m gluten free and they were closed, but they saw us walk up to the door and just opened it and handed us a DOZEN free doughnuts! So rare in these capitalist times to find such sweet folks, and they even gave me a bag of gluten free doughnuts also!!?? So so kind and the doughnuts were delish. Can’t wait to come back here and get a matcha to sip with my GF maple doughnut 🥹

Tam Arindel

Pancakes and berry bar are always fantastic! It's very busy so do make a reservation. Many gluten and vegan friendly options.

Miranda Espineli

Always stop by here whenever I get the change to! Delicious vegan food and coffee and plenty of gluten free options. I love the breakfast sandwiches

Anoushka Manik

A local favorite! I cannot recommend Cloud City Coffee enough: the service, people, drinks and food are excellent. Their latte with maple or vanilla flavoring and oat milk is my usual order, and it never disappoints. Their food is also excellent, and they have a vegan, gluten free and dairy free selection. They also rotate the pastries so plenty of options!

Shira Lyss-Loren

Been a favorite of mine for decades but recently prices have gone up steeply and portion sizing went down. Bummer to see inflation hit my fav! Great gluten free crepe.

Josh Hanson

Amazing place for gluten free!

Alan Caulder

Ashton Miller

Old school diner vibes. Solid menu options which include gluten free, vegetarian and vegan.

Dana Levy

What a pleasant discovery this little jewel is! My friend and I enjoyed tunamelt sandwiches with small salads. I’m gluten, dairy, and “nightshade“ free……. So it’s always a pleasure when I can report on good toasted gluten-free bread, And flavorful tuna! The salads were fresh and not boring: a mix of greens, cucumbers, onions, olives. They forgot to put my dressing on the side, and both salads were overly dressed. But we appreciated the effort. I had a great chai, oat milk latte: not overly sweetened or syrupy! We will definitely go back! * Would appreciate regular height tables and chairs outside……

Amanda Dainis

Great gluten free bakery items.

We had Pho Tai Lan and Pho Ha Noi Style both were very flavorful. The music and atmosphere were very pleasant as well. All in all it's a lovely corner Cafe to meet with good friends. Oh, and they have plenty of Gluten free options.

Dennis Caldwell

10/10!! This spot was on my list for a while and boy did it not disappoint. From the atmosphere to the food, everything was exceptional and reasonably priced. Tons of options for everyone in your group — vegans, vegetarians, gluten free. The vegan biscuit was amazing!!

Angela Renzetti

I'm obsessed with this place. Granted it's downstairs from my office, but even better that my favorite coffee shop is a few steps away! The coffee is my fave on Queen Anne (I'm an Americano girl with cream, but dangit those Sweet Cream Cold Brews get me in the summer! Probably only seasonal, so don't get mad if they're not there when you arrive!). They always have fun seasonal drinks and their food is good too (I may have an addiction to the turkey-herbed-cream cheese-cucumber sandwich thing, and they even have gluten-free bread, but if you can have bread their sourdough and challah is so good!). The staff is awesome and has made me feel very welcomed in the community since I moved here! They have a cute back patio too! Love! <3

Currently only has one gluten free bagel option, plain. It’s kept separate from the rest of the bagels to avoid cross-contamination.

Ed Nutting

Sarah Smith

They had some really yummy gluten free and keto options (even if they aren't advertised that way.) I'd go back. I got the Turkish eggs and latte. Both were excellent.

Sweet Nothings

I asked for gluten free bread to REPLACE my english muffin and they charged me $4 extra… That’s INSANE. It’s not an extra item it’s a replacement… People with allergies and disorders are just treated like garbage and I’m so over it. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOURE GLUTEN FREE.

Desiree Koser

Amazing coffee with beautiful pastries, including a few gluten free options!! This was our favorite first stop in the morning during our trip in Seattle.

Kampachi Crudo had a nice spice level that had heat but wasn't overpowering. Skirt steak and king salmon (gluten free) we amazing. The sorbet for desert was perfectly sweet and refreshing after. Cocktails were top notch, old fashion with rye and a martini.

Jasmine Burrington

Beautiful location, great decorations and atmosphere, but our breakfast was pretty crummy. My Croque Madam was very wet with far too much sauce all over it, so it was soggy. Hubby’s gluten free biscuit was terrible on his Benedict, then tried the normal biscuit and it was also terrible. The hollandaise was too vinegar-y. The coffee tasted like the pot hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. Just all-around not good, for high prices. I would go elsewhere.

After just returning home from a wellness retreat in Arizona I was craving a healthy smoothie. I swung into Fit Bar for my very first visit, and tried their Lean Green Smoothie and it was FANTASTIC! Probably the best smoothie I've ever had - no joke. My son also got the strawberry and banana kids smoothie and loved it as well. I was also thrilled to see that they have so many GF offerings (neither of my children can eat gluten) so we will definitely be coming back soon to try more of their offerings! Oh and the service was fast and friendly too - bonus!!

Helen Turner

The best house-made gluten free pastries anywhere! And such friendly service from cafe owners behind the counter. A lot of hard work to keep this great little place going!

Lauren Rosenberg

Such a kind owner. Adorable decor and super thoughtful retail space. We especially love the compostable coffee cup lids and gluten free options!! They can make any sandwich GF which is so amazing for me and my family 🙏

Angie Autio-Mowrer

Gluten free buckwheat crepes and the best coffee ever. Love this place. Not for big groups though.

Michelle Ulick Rosenthal

They have some of the best pizza around. The thin crust pizza has a light puffy crackery edge, which means being able to enjoy all the flavor of a delicious pizza without the heaviness (even standard "thin" and gluten-free pizzas are heavier). The service is always great and the staff are friendly. And don't forget to try the cocktails (my fave is the G&T with Monkey 27 and red peppercorn. The antipasto plate, the lasagna and the Caesar salad are delish. Come hungry and be prepared to take home yummy leftovers!

I normally enjoy photographing my meals, but this sandwich was so lackluster it didn’t seem worth it. I did appreciate that they offered gluten-free options, and I chose the arepas with beef. Unfortunately, the beef was dry and the cheese wasn’t melted—it looked like shredded cheese added straight from the bag. For $13, the portion was small and the quality didn’t justify the price. After looking up arepas online, I realized they’re traditionally served hot. Mine wasn’t, which makes me wish I had taken a photo to show how undercooked it seemed. Overall, disappointing.

Natalie Wilson

Everytime I’m in Seattle I make sure to come here. Vegetarian and Gluten free cafe breakfast and lunch options available. Queer friendly establishment

Scott Eburne

Why have gluten free options when you can't make that request on the self serve kiosk?? And the checkout is blocked by a table. Obviously don't want our business.

Lucy Rose

Gluten free has never been available any time I’ve tried, they need to take it off the menu at this point :(
