Top 50 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots Across Minnesota

Whitney Macon

We came for the celiac safe menu. It was excellent! We ordered the gluten free fried chicken and waffles, what a treat! It was delicious, perfectly cooked and the bourbon maple syrup with honey butter was amazing. We will certainly be back. Great service as well, wait staff was really kind.

We've been here quite a few times and we're bringing the whole family for this trip. There was concern about gluten as another person posted that they changed their menu. I called and talked to the restaurant, and they stated they have 4 new sandwiches on the menu that contain gluten, but they are prepared away from the other items in their kitchen, and they are very diligent about cross contamination. This is important as we have celiac folks in our party. Everyone loved it, everyone ate every bit of it, and everyone is happy. And the horchatta rice crispy bar is insane.

Michelle Davis

Great experiences here and they know what they’re about.

Justine Stell

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

Like several other recent reviewers, I saw mice running through the restaurant/under booths in the middle of the afternoon while I was there. I told the server about the mice and they said they'd tell the manager. Although I had already lost my appetite by then, the entire back of the restaurant was suddenly filled with the smell of an extremely pungent peppermint-scented disinfectant (or at least that's what I guessed?). I was with two other people and all of us felt like it was irritating our noses and throats. It was so strong that it overwhelmed any other scent/taste. I asked the server if what we were smelling was disinfectant (they said yes) and if we could move to the front of the restaurant to get away from the strong smell. Later I emailed the manager about the incident and he claimed he didn't have any idea what I could be referring to. There's clearly an ongoing mouse problem (just look at other reviews from the past few months) and I learned that strong peppermint oil is used as mice deterrent/repellent. This used to be a go-to place for me, since they have a menu that offers a lot of options for someone with celiac disease, but I don't think I can stomach going back now.

Gabrielle Kamil

As good as ever, especially the gluten free waffles. How do they make everything taste so great?

Chase Kasel

Absolutely wonderful experience overall. They have plenty of options for most, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free (vegan/gluten free) being hard to find. The atmosphere and view of the lake were great as well. Very clean, nice bathrooms, friendly staff, book adoption for small price, and a dietary restriction diverse pastry selection too! We will definitely be coming back.

Lily MacDonald

Amazing experience at Bar La Grassa! The food is amazing! I loved the gnocchi and the lobster egg bruchetta. Our server was attentive and kind. They also had gluten free options for my mom who has celiac, which was amazing! She said it's the best GF fettucine she's ever had, which says A LOT

We just visited on our vacation to the North Shore. We were blown away by this great pizza restaurant! We started with the garlic cheese toast. I believe it had cilantro on top which was delicious. There was a hearty serving of marinara included, and it was only $1 to add another marinara. My daughter ordered the spinach salad - it had a great balance of savory and sweet, and was a good-sized portion. I ordered the Hulapeño pizza. I don't like pineapple on pizza, so I requested it removed, however when it showed up at the table it was included. I was really hungry from a full day of hiking, and didn't want to wait for another pizza to be made. It was so delicious with the pineapple! The real star, though, was the Hot Honey - I couldn't get enough of it! Who thought that would be great with pizza?? Such a delicious combo!! I have a vegetarian son, and we were astounded by all of the vegetarian options available! Vegan bacon, sausage, pepperoni, and more. Also there were vegan cheese available and gluten-free options. I felt that the variety was more than any restaurant in the much larger city we're from! The atmosphere inside was great. Lots of outstanding local art on the walls to enjoy and available for purchase. A really cool avocado table for big groups. And you can watch them toss pizza crust while you're sitting at a table, which is always fun. The area outside was the only place I felt a little unsafe on our travels, and I skirted the kids away after one Pokemon Go battle. This restaurant is definitely on my list when we return to Duluth!

I got sick after eating here, but it may have been from the coffeeshop I went to beforehand (Royal Grounds). Pros: I was very impressed with the menu- lots of GF options and easy to navigate. The pizza was delicious although the crust was average. The watermelon salad was great. Three different GF dessert options but I was too full to try any! Cons: The bruschetta was bad- just a pile of diced tomatoes with some shaved parm, and two bad GF dinner rolls. I asked for some balsamic vinegar to dress it and was told they didn’t have it. A total waste of $12. Lemonade was supposed to have free refills but I never got any. My order ticket gets weirder the more I look at it. First I’m glad that they put in so many allergy alerts. But they say “ALLERGIC TO WHEAT” which is wrong. I told the server “I have a gluten allergy.” So they lost some trust there. And why is every allergy alert on my ticket different? Is the server typing them in manually? If I lived nearby I might try them a second time, but since I would be traveling to Minneapolis I will try a different place next time.

This Pizza Lucé location is very clean, accommodating and has friendly staff. Bathroom and Dining areas all well kept and presentable. A great dining spot for anyone, especially with being able to make pizzas half & half. (My sister and I spilt a pepperoni and elote pizza, My mother got the Gluten Free Greek Pizza!) There are several vegetarian options as well, We tried the Greek salad, it was phenomenal! I highly recommend coming here!

Zoe

Very good! Our server Travis was very helpful and accomodating to one of us having celiacs disease, offering tips and things to watch out for.

Rowan Forrester

So here's the thing, it's a great spot, and if you dine in, the food is pretty good. They hand-pour cherry Coke on request and take pride in their beer offerings, too. Twin Cities natives LOVE them their local Pizza Luce. BUT - and it's a BIG but (sans Sir Mix-a-Lot) - I got nasty food poisoning from their chicken wings last year, and haven't been able to look at chicken wings since. They also have a problem remembering to add extra cheese on their pizza when you order online. Has happened several times when I've ordered delivery as well as pick-up. Both of these issues are specific to the Roseville location. On the other hand, Katie at the Selby location in St Paul is wonderful if you're lucky enough to be in her service. I was there last week with a VERY diverse group of people - there were about 10 of us - and she was great. She was even juggling a late Friday night when the carbonation ran out at the bar, so no carbonated drinks. They also ran out of their summer special pizza (Taco Supreme), and the kitchen dropped one of our orders. Katie was pleasant, kind, generous, on top of it. She handled her business, as we say in NYC, amidst the chaos. Kudos to you, Katie. I hope you -and your corporate boss - see this review, because you're the reason I will continue to recommend Pizza Luce despite clear ops issues. The vegan meatballs are pretty good, and even have a fire-seared flavor to them that's unexpected in vegan products. I happen to be an omnivore, and also tried the meat meatballs, which are also quite good - though I don't recommend mixing and matching. Generally, the pizzas are super yum, but have a thin, crispy crust, fyi. Also important: they have a pretty good gluten-free selection, including the pizzas. I recommend asking about spiciness if you have sensitivity to burning foods, though. Not everything with "kick" is labeled on the menu. So, after all of that, I still go. I still recommend them. Just know that there may be a learning curve, so I also recommend you go with locals the first few times if you're a traveler or a transplant. Cheers

Great experience here with celiac disease, visiting with a friend who also has celiac. We were both impressed by the confidence of the staff in describing the precautions they take when notified of gluten sensitivity, as well as their overall friendliness. Everything on the menu is gluten free besides the regular buns. Highly recommend!

Mary Fridley

Ordered gluten free food here for the first time recently (as a newly diagnosed celiac). The gluten free pasta was alright, but I wouldn't come back for it. Our server seemed a little like we were an inconvenience just for being there. I almost asked him if he was having a bad day or something, but he was pretty short with any communication and looked at us with blank expressions. The atmosphere on the patio was nice with plants though. Our hostess forgot to bring me a gluten free menu after I asked about it while being seated, but she was apologetic when I went back to the front stand to get one. I've been here before, several years ago, back when I could still eat gluten. From vague memory, that experience was a bit better.

Chad Stutelberg

Food is always great and service is fantastic. We had vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free people in our group and the waitress knew all of the dishes and ingredients and was able to create plates that worked for everyone.

Anthony Hoffarth

Awesome small batch ice cream! So many unique flavors to choose from and are very friendly for gluten-free options.

David Roberts

The Red Cow has delicious fare and great service. I was part of a group of four. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, so all the fried potato dishes (e.g. french fries, sweet potato fries, etc.) can be made gluten-free (and oat-free).

Jessica McWilliams

Delicious all gluten and dairy free food. Fun environment. Went with four friends. We each ordered something from plant and game section with one of us ordering from the shareable section and we left satisfied. If you’re looking for standard American huge portions, not your place. If you’re looking for a place to try unique dishes and shareable with someone then yes!

Drew Losure-McDermott

We had a reservation for six; My parents, my wife, my cousin and his husband. It was sort of a "welcome to Minnesota" dinner, as the two of them just moved here from out of state. We consider Andiamo the best Italian restaurant in the South Metro . My cousin and his husband have Coeliac's. So the universal availability of gluten free options was much appreciated. A good experience overall, as we have come to expect.

Roving Ginger

I would’ve posted pictures of our food but we devoured it. Delicious food, reasonable prices, great for those of us avoiding gluten but not flavor.

Ban Banabhuidseach

Food is fantastic. Gluten Free options available (French Fries for the WIN). Wait staff is wonderful.

Henry Stern

Had a supreme experience at Brasa. Jacob took excellent care of us, including with my food allergies. Labelled on their paper allergen menu are major allergens, gluten, garlic/onion/nightshades/cilantro, and even GMO-free. With my egg and nut allergy, I had the vegetarian curry bowl (which is vegan, in fact) as well as rice and beans. Delicious! And on a quiet Monday, it only took about ten minutes to get the food. Lovely outdoor patio and quick service are a wonderful combination! And we're still raving about how great host Jacob is. Will be back!

Stephanie Hannahs Steinberg

Gluten Free options available! Great staff! Clean & pleasant atmosphere. Love BAMBU KITCHEN ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mona Edmonds

Great food. Good service. Gluten free choices are marked clearly and they had a delightful chocolate torte for dessert! Highly recommend!

Minwild G

Best pancakes in the area. Crazy large selection of all kinds of interesting pancake combinations. Wonderful gluten free pancakes that my wife is super crazy about. Makes her happy for the next few days. Super friendly and helpful staff that goes above and beyond in service. Note that they close around 2pm. Parking is OK but can get tight. Highly recommended and we will be back for sure.

M Pawlowski

Good, service, and atmosphere are all excellent here. The live tropical plants make the seating area feel very vibrant. Our server was very friendly and professional. He assured us that our dishes were gluten free. We got grilled pork and beef rendang and both were extremely good

Amy Reisdorf

Amazing food! From the Ham and Apple Panini with brown sugar cinnamon mayo and the sweet potato mash to the Greek Quinoa salad with homemade hummus and lemon dill sauce to the Double Chocolate Cake- everything was scrumptious and fresh. I especially appreciated that everything was or could be gluten-free. Not just “switch to cheap gluten free bread” but rich, flavorful cuisine that is intentionally inclusive for vegans and gluten free folks. The service was attentive and the atmosphere lends itself to conversation. Definitely on our list to visit again!

Jeff Nester

I have gluten and dairy allergies and felt very safe to eat here and the food was great!

Dianne Mosior

Very knowledgeable with Celiacs customers. The was great and drinks are excellent b

Laura Fredrickson

This unassuming little cafe is SO AMAZING! I travel across town just to eat here. I can't get enough of everything on their Gluten Free Menu - the pancakes are to die for, and I take home at least two of their scones, almond & lemon bars. (yes, they are ALL gluten free!) I am OBSESSED with this place 💖

Cassandra

Good food for a hungry traveler. Gluten-free options!

Maria Kannankutty

Great food and service and careful preparation for celiacs. They have a separate gluten free menu. They bring gluten free bread and separate butter to start out with which is a nice touch. And they have the best gluten free spinach dip with crostini and flourless cake! We’ve been here many times and enjoyed it every time.

Shylo Benz

Best breakfast I’ve EVER had. I got the Scromble of The Day. Tomatoes and Chimichurri *chefs kiss* I’m gluten free and the GF English muffins were great.. I got TWO with my breakfast. My dad got the breakfast burrito and he loved it! Super cool spot to check out in downtown Minneapolis.

Jennifer Horning

Man, SO good! I'm dairy and gluten free. Haven't had a burger and fries this good in... .dunno, a loooong time. Highly recommend!

Shad Holland

We were looking for a breakfast place as we drove up to Duluth early and this place came up with a 4.8 star rating. All I can say is that it deserves that rating. Great service and food. I loved that the menu labeled gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options! The woman serving us was super awesome and between her and other servers they made sure our coffee and water were filled when they got low. It's rare finding places this good, especially on the fly.

Jenna N

BEST experience, all the way around! Brisket was flavorful and DELICIOUS; dipping sauce options were varied, house-made, and tasty; my dietary-delicate husband was able to get a phenomenal burger on a gluten-free bun; sides were unique and mouthwatering (I tried the hush puppies, pecan-topped sweet potatoes, and my husband's fries); and the drinks were excellent - SO MANY bourbon options! We requested to sit on the patio. It was peaceful and the atmosphere was stellar. I cannot recommend this place enough. If I am ever in Duluth again, I'm going back to try the pulled pork. My only complaint is that it said on the menu that gluten-free buns would not be an additional charge, but they did charge us a few dollars extra for it. I think because we told them not to worry about cross-contamination? Lucky for them, everything else was 6/5 stars.

McKinsey Hurd

Our server was very friendly, just not super attentive. Sat many times waiting for a drink refill. That being said, as a Gluten Free gal, they have MANY options. The tacos were amazing. My friend got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and wasn’t impressed as it tasted more like curry sauce.

Jules Carter

Love it!! It’s like a 50s malt shop feel with 80s/90s music and incredible food choices. Picked this place because they have real servers not computer order systems. Shomi was an exceptional server. Family friendly. Gluten Free friendly too. Hugs ;)

lynn b

This was my first visit to Capitol Grille and it was amazing! My friends and I went to celebrate my birthday and everything was great! Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and let us know what was the gluten-free options for my friend who is gluten free. All of the food was super delicious and cooked to perfection, I would definitely recommend a trip to Capital Grille for a night out or to celebrate.

Kasia

Very celiac friendly, the food is very fresh and vibrant. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wish it had a bigger seating area so I could bring everyone I know :)

Betsy Donaldson

We love Wildfire. The food and service have always been great. Ive been gf for 3 years and am so grateful for their attentiveness when it comes to food delivery. When we go out, my husband eats gluten, so going somewhere where the make sure our food doesn’t touch or get cross contaminated is amazing!

taylor cammer

Best burger I've had in a long time! I have celiac and finding places to eat is very difficult. They have a separate fryer for only French fries, which are honestly amazing.the burgers are juice and cooked great, and the gluten free buns are soft and really good. This is by far my favorite restaurant in the area, if not if all time.

DC

I can see why this is rated the number one restaurant by Trip Advisor in Duluth. Absolutely a gem of a place in Duluth. I would highly encourage getting a reservation. You might end up waiting quite a bit to get a table without one. The view of Superior is spectacular if you can score outdoor seating. The food....what can I say? Absolutely delicious. My wife is gluten intolerant and they can make most of their dishes gluten free. They even have gluten free pastas and all their sauces are already gluten free. The staff is wonderful. Overall 5/5.

Natalie Olson

Chicken wings, chicken tenders, cauliflower crust pizza

Brenda Wright

Amazing food! I'm gluten free and they took necessary precautions for me. Best fried rice I've ever had. Owners son has food allergies, so he knows! Will definitely go back again!

Anna Drechsel

Gluten free / celiac safe options. Food is amazing.

Tom Cast

If you have food allergies, this is the place to go for an outstanding meal! The wait staff and chefs made sure that our meals were gluten and dairy free without even blinking an eyelash. Service was hands down the best. From cocktails to dessert, our party of 4 were impressed. One of the best meals we’ve had.

Gabrielle Kamil

The gluten free waffle cone was properly crisp. The ice cream was shockingly sweet with an aftertaste of St Joseph's baby aspirin.

Cora Brown

We love Red Cow! Excellent food and atmosphere. Tons of gluten free options.
