Top 50 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots Across Hawaii

Kelley Ward

Unfortunately, this is not a storefront that you can walk into like you would expect at a normally listed “bakery” on Google. Weirdly it has many good reviews but it doesn’t clarify this until you go to their website where it appears that it’s now currently a pre-order only business. It does not exist as a storefront at the address that’s listed… so don’t try to find it. you cannot just walk in and buy food. As it turns out on the website, it looks that this is a pre-order only sort of business. Which is too bad since Honolulu needs more gluten free bakeries!

100% GF restaurant!

This is hands down one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The quality of the espresso and milk are incredible. I ordered whole cows milk and my husband ordered the macadamia milk latte. Both very good. Don’t miss out on all their gluten free pastries and GF quiches. First day we tried the broccoli and feta quiche & mushroom bell pepper. Both gluten free but couldn’t tell. We came back the next day to order another latte and tried the GF blueberry scone. Again, couldn’t tell the difference of gluten free or regular. They also have a little water statin to pour your own cup. I wish they had a coffee shop like this in San Diego. Highly recommend this place.

Ashley Byrne

Such good huge tacos! My husband and I got 3 and shared them and it was the perfect amount.

Stacey Mehl

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

Jennifer Maltby

My husband got the regular cinnamon roll and I got the gluten free with the cream cheese frosting added on the side. They were so yummy! Gf cinnamon rolls are often a disappointment but these were so good, we went back later the same afternoon and picked up 3 more gf ones to go to have for breakfast on other mornings. The lady that makes the gf rolls is so sweet! Thank you for such a wonderful treat!

Bethany Flickinger

Gluten free pizza is expensive but so delicious!

Andrea James

First the bad: We had a server who was new and when I asked if the fries were in a shared fryer, she got flustered and confused and she said, “Usually people who are gluten free know what they can and cannot eat.” It was pretty bad and I almost requested someone new, but later the manager came out to help us and talk us through the menu. Now the good: Good tacos. Shrimp and grits was excellent. They were out of GF buns so didn’t get to try the burger.

Merissa Peil

Best fish tacos ever! We ate here multiple times on our trip! Highly recommend!

Aidan S

My wife and I came here on a whim and we were super impressed! The staff was super friendly and super accommodating for my wife's gluten intolerance (she has celiac). We got fried pickles which were so tasty and well portioned. We also got the spicy poke bowl and the fresh fish bowl. Our server made sure both the dishes were gluten free for us! Can't recommend this place enough!

Nicolette Shipley

Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!

Cait Foster

After my spiel, they reassured me both over the phone and in person that they were able to serve Celiacs with confidence. It took me literally two bites and a speed run to the washroom to realize that was completely untrue. I left the meal 98% untouched, and informed the server that the food had made me ill and that we needed to pay ASAP so I could go back to my private hotel bathroom. Paid for everything and left in tears - the staff didn’t even apologise or offer to comp my meal. Was a great last night for our vacation. Slay Noi Thai

Krishnabai Lewis

Yummy! Best gluten free donuts I've had.

HikariSuk

The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.

Jeremy West

Excellent service. Excellent Gluten Free help and options.

Aubrey Ledyard

Absolutely delicious! Loved this place for its great sushi, gluten free options, and cute atmosphere. Definitely recommend for gluten free!

Chloe Turner

Friendly staff and lots of unique breads. Was pleasantly surprised to find lots of gluten free breads and treats as well. The Ube Loaf was amazing

Megan Fisher

Five stars isn't enough - our experience here was truly exceptional! The gluten-free options were plentiful, and our waiter intuitively knew to bring my husband gluten-free starters without us even asking. The view was breathtaking, the atmosphere was lively and fun, and the live music added the perfect touch. The food was outstanding, and we left feeling thrilled with our choice

Mark

If you're a celiac visiting Maui, rest assured that this is a safe breakfast stop for you with many gluten free options! The owners are kind people who take celiac disease very seriously and are able to provide quality breakfasts that fueled several days of hiking and snorkeling for me!

Trisha Hariani

Lots of gluten free options!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Oonagh Knott

My partner and I live on Oahu but we come to the Big Island specifically for coffee and a couple amazing restaurants. This is one of those amazing restaurants that we love so much. We came for the weekend and have gone every day. The food is amazing, we are vegetarian not vegan and typically I don’t like non dairy alternatives but I truly can’t tell that this food is vegan. The Mac and cheese was amazing and the ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The wraps, pancakes, and tacos are also our favorites. My partner is also gluten free and they make incredible gluten free options for every menu item. The service is also amazing, staff are very friendly and keep the place very clean. My partner forgot to order her pancakes gluten free and the lovely lady at the register offered to fix it for no extra cost. I highly recommend you make some time to visit Journey, it is so worth it!

Chrystal Drinkwater

Best local organic foods in Hilo. Lots of options for Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. The people are down to earth and kind. If you eat meat, they are very conscious about where they get the meat. The best Kombucha I have ever had. From the homemade cultured hot sauce to the gluten free dairy free brownies and banana splits, they do it right. Weds night they have Kava, open mic and pizza made with ancient grain organic flour. Owners are also very cool. 😎

Kate Richardson

I’ve eaten here twice and had no issues. There is a separate GF menu so ask for it at the front. I had the shrimp skewers and Hawaiian ono with no symptoms afterwards.

John Slaughter

By far the best gluten free burger I have had in my entire life. I've been celiac for 7 years and I'm always been in the search for a burger that is unrecognizable from gluten burger--and the Kevin burger is it. The meat is local and grass fed and finished, the toppings are all locally procured and that quality comes through. Highly recommend for any celiac or gluten free people or anyone that appreciates a burger with quality ingredients.

Cecilee Romano

This place is amazing! There were gaming stations with all kinds of platforms like NES, Switch, and more. I ordered a gluten free vegan pizza, and my husband got a custom pizza and a salad, and we both got drinks. The food was SO GOOD. We took it to a park and ate outside. It was fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. Big portions as well! We had leftovers for midnight snacking. The cashier was super friendly and helpful too. It’s not cheap, but it was definitely worth the price. We played games while we waited for food, and it was really fun. Will absolutely come back on our next trip!

Rebecca Sorgini

So good!! I am celiac which means I am gluten-free and I must also avoid cross contamination. This restaurant not only served me fries from a dedicated fryer, but I also enjoyed the crispiest, most delicious roasted chicken I have had in a long time. Cashier was knowledgeable about celiac, and they changed their gloves and everything while preparing my meal. Also, good prices compared to other restaurants in the area. Wonderful! Would definitely recommend not just for celiacs but anyone who wants a delicious meal.

Nadine

I almost cried eating here the first time. I haven’t had fried rice in so many years and finding it so delicious and gluten-free on my vacation. I have to admit I have been there 3 times in not even a week… Staff is very friendly, portions almost too much but perfect after a long hike and the price is phenomenal. 17$ for this portion

Aaron Morse

Fantastic fine dining experience with excellent, beachfront ambiance and many gluten-free options.

Kevin Sparrow

Don’t sleep on this place. One of the best breakfasts in Maui. Super chill atmosphere and the server was amazing. If you are looking for a gluten free and celiac safe spot, this is the place.

Aidan S

We came to this restaurant excited for the food based off recommendations from online and gluten free forums. My wife has celiac and we made that clear with our waitress Sarah. Sarah was kind to us but was a little slow on service even though it didn't seem incredibly busy. We waited about 5-10 minutes to get seated and then another 5-10 minutes to get water and menus. Then we waited about 20 minutes before our order was taken and drinks refilled. Sarah was knowledgeable about the menu and provided some recommendations which we trusted. I got the Zesty Coconut Catch and my wife ordered the Soy Wasabi Local Catch gluten free. The food took about 10-15 to get to our table but the lady running it gave it to the table next to us first and then to us. The food was superbly mediocre. Not great not bad. Super dissapointing to spend $100 on food that wasn't good. The only thing I have to compliment is the fish was cooked well. Overall not a bad place but super dissapointed at the quality for the price.

dcDalton

This was our first time going to three's bar and grill. We waited for less than 10 minutes for a table outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For those with Celiac or gluten issues a separate is available. I ordered blackened fish which was one of the best fish I've had. We had a great dinner. You get 20% off your next meal with receipt.

Elena Gonzales

I'm so thankful we found this place! Love their gluten-free in-house made bread. It doesn't taste gluten-free, and the texture is like regular bread! Big plus for me. The food was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner here. Staff was friendly.

Kitty C

Tasty food, large portions, 100% gluten free!

Nadine

Very delicious icecream. Everything is dairy and gluten-free. Cones are made fresh by hand. Loved it!

Ryan Barden

The pizza here is outstanding! Their gluten-free option stands out because it’s handmade, unlike the standard 10” frozen crust you find at most other restaurants. It’s easily the best gluten-free pizza we’ve ever had.

Amber Turkin

Amazing experience! We were able to get a same day reservation and were seated early upon our arrival even with the restaurant already being busy. The food was absolutely incredible - definitely the best we had during our stay in Kauai and maybe the best we’ve had in several months (years? Who knows - time passes so quickly these days). We loved our drinks (both booze and non-alc choices), our entrees (Keoki’s style, panko Mac nut crusted, and chef’s fresh fish duo), dessert (the bread pudding and mango GF pono pie) and the overall ambiance (beautiful setting, live music). They were super accommodating of gluten and nut allergies too. Definitely recommend!

Paul T

Wife has celiac and eaten many times. Make sure to tell them an allergy and they will change gloves and take special precautions even when they are busy!

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

Ashley Byrne

Really good falafel!!

Bethany Flickinger

Had to ask the waiter about gluten free but he knew exactly what I could eat! 10/10 recommend! The best service I’ve ever experienced and everyones dish was delicious!

Danny Newhide

It's hard to write a review leaving only 4 stars for a place that is so beloved by many (as evidenced by the need to book reservations months in advance), but sometimes the hype really hurts a place like Mama's. We skipped the reservations and opted to walk-in for bar seating at lunch. Credit has to go to Mama's for the ambience and service. It was quite excellent. The staff and location were top notch, really capturing that retro "island" vibe. Bar staff, Tom and Jill were great. Drinks: Mai Tai and Espresso Martini were great. Would recommend to anyone. Food: overall my impression was that the food was good, but nothing was special. At nearly 70 dollars an entree, you are looking for that something extra. The seared ahi appetizer was good but unremarkable. The stuffed Kanpachi, a long standing menu item, was somewhat of a disappointment. However the our selection of the fresh catch (got the uku with caramelized onions, chili and avocado) was a bright spot and was quite good. Would also like to note that they were very accommodating of gluten-free diners. Verdict: 4/5. Go for the ambience, +/- on the food.

Chalise Grogan

Gluten-free (and can be made dairy-free) arepas! Excellent food and great shaded seating area. Worth a stop.

Lauren Alberts

Smith Family Garden went above and beyond for serving a celiac safe gluten free meal. Every person working were so kind and helpful from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Highly recommend.

Nanette Gefreh

Wonderful choices for gluten-free. My family each ordered something different, and we were all delighted with our meal!

Andrew A

They were super fast and everything was great. They do have gluten free breading and a dedicated fryer for the side winder fries, though it’s not advertised anywhere on their menu or website. Multiple GF options.

Christine Smith

Gluten free pancakes were amazing, great service too!

Kitty C

Tasty breakfast with lots of gluten free options. We eat here about once per week and I have not been gluten end. Solid breakfast/brunch choice.

dcDalton

First time visit with no reservations. Waited less than 10 minutes. The server was polite and knowledgeable and the food was super yummy. There were few gluten free options which was nice.

Gillian Haden

Delicious gluten free and dairy free ice cream, right off the beach! The fruit was always fresh, and the combinations were perfect!
