Top 26 Gluten-Free Cider Havens Across Minnesota

Samantha Anondson

This place is the one place I go to where I feel and know what I’m eating is safe! Tons of options to choose from!

Molly Vielhauer

absolutely love their gluten free pastas!

Ivars Linde

We asked for a gluten-free pasta, and it was cross contaminated. The person that ate it ended up getting sick.

Molly Beard

Whoa. Gluten free Italian that tastes incredible? Yep. I'll be back again!

I’ve had much better tasting and textured gluten free and vegan selections elsewhere. I would not choose this place as my top option if I needed either of those as a serious accommodation. Pricing for the quality and the service was basically awful. My table got three drinks (two small hot teas and a small latte) and three cake slices and paid $45. The latte was up-charged $2 because I am lactose intolerant and ordered oat milk for it. I understand an up charge because the milk is typically more expensive than regular, but basically every other cafe for miles well out-competes a $2 extra charge. The most expensive I’ve seen locally before this was $1. In a perfect world allergy and intolerance accommodations would cost no extra, as people like me can’t really help wanting to live like others and have a little cafe latte that won’t hurt us. When asked if I wanted a box I said I would, as I still had a half slice of cake left. No box was ever brought to my table and the waiter never mentioned it again even as we said goodbye to him and left. In fact, almost every interaction with the waiter was tinted with what seemed like haughtiness or disdain on his end. Maybe because we only came and sat for desserts and coffee/tea and therefore were not “high value” customers. Overall this place seems full of itself and really not worth the trouble and expense to have sub-par cakes and a cup of tea. Hoping this is a rare experience.

Another wonderful meal. We love this restaurant. The only negative i could say is that the salad came out like a minute before the meal but otherwise the meal was delicious. I love that they have a gluten free menu. I got to try the gluten free bead at the beginning of the meal which was really tasty. I'm just thrilled when a dining establishment accommodates my dietary restriction and allows me to feel a part of the normal experience. The local cider beer was nice and my significant other enjoyed his Manhatten. We finished with a wonderful creme Brule which was prepared perfectly. The ribs fell off the bone and were incredibly tender. My significant other had the north woods fish fry and said it was good even though the coating was different this time (not as crisp). The staff was friendly. This is one of the best establishments in the mall.

Our go to "fast food" spot. Gluten free burgers. Sports Bar atmosphere, not our thing, but it's always.

Nora Bengtson

The servers were knowledge and incredibly helpful. Most of the menu can be made gluten free!

Jennifer Christiansen

Amazing Gluten Free food with great service.

Evelyn Bakken

Amazing! I can believe today was the first time I heard of this restaurant! The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have a dairy allergy (whole restaurant is vegan) and gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate me! (They do note that they can't guarantee no cross contamination, but they do have a separate fryer!). I was SUPER excited to see they have vegan milk shakes! They are AMAZING! So glad to have another great space I trust for my allergies. The atmosphere was super fun and cozy! I really liked that if I wanted to be antisocial that I can order through a QR code (which was VERY informative about gluten allergies!) You also have the option to order with the staff as well! They were always buzzing around so if you need assistance they are there. The food came out insanely fast and it was pretty busy at the time I was there. They are a tip free restaurant, they price their food so that they can pay their staff livable wages (which they dont advertise as much as I think they should!) Definitely worth the price! Can't express how excited I am about this restaurant from the food to their story AND paying their staff well - I love it! Side note: for anyone scared of vegan food or are worried about trying it - this is the place to do it! (My boyfriend wanted me to add - as someone who doesn't have allergies or have any experience with vegan meats - he loved it and said he could hardly tell the difference)

This is one of the best and most authentic pizza places I have been to. I loved the amount of variety they had for vegetarians and on top of that for vegan and gluten free options. Every single item on the pizza tasted very fresh and melted in the mouth. The server recommended us a local beer and it was amazing as well. Overall a great dining experience after our visit to the nearby Minnehaha Falls. Will surely visit again and wish they had more outlets outside MIneapolis.

My wife and I had the welcome party for our wedding here and Halina and the rest of the Number 12 crew were amazing! Halina took extra care to put together a wonderful charcuterie appetizer for us, and they did a fantastic job accommodating one of our gluten free guests. The space was perfect for mingling with everyone and there was space for the kids to play games outside. I can’t recommend this place enough for an event, or even just a delicious drink!

Amelia Ley

I have severe celiac and I safely ate delicious food here! My server was kind and knowledgeable. I was told by my partner and brother that the gluten food was also delicious.

David Flores

They can adjust any of their burgers and sandwiches to accommodate for gluten free!! Thank you so much for this!! I just had a reuben and it was delicious!

Dee

Been on n off.Not the best Fish n Chips I've had there or curds just arnt the same Gluten free but yet cook things in 1 vat.I get sick each time Don't say Gluten free or sensitive if they are not.

Benjamin Mullen

Food surprisingly not good and servers unhelpful and unprofessional. Neat looking place, however. We booked the large room for a large group to watch a family member live on TV 10/29/24. The waitresses were not helpful at all and almost never checked on us. One in our party requested gluten free (has an allergy) and the waitress was "positive" she put the order in right and that the tortillas were corn but never came to actually check, just dismissed us. We told her twice but she didn't even come look, just told us they are corn for sure. They were not corn. So when she finally realized at the end after we were leaving, they remade the tacos with corn and she had to take it to go. Not being cautious with allergies is very unprofessional and can be dangerous. Some people were done eating while others were waiting to give their order. Not a good experience at all and I hope management talked with the one server in particular. A group of 20+ will not be coming back mainly for the service and partially for the food.

I called ahead to ask if they have Gluten Free options for lunch. I was informed that they do and substitutions they have. So we arrived, unloaded my special needs child, walked in to find out they were closed for a special event. Thanks for making it harder for this mama on Mother’s Day. All could’ve been avoided by just letting me know on the phone five minutes prior when I called.

Amanda Zarecky

The best pizza my husband and I have had in a long time!! Gluten-free crust was delicious, great service ( young bartender). I can't recommend this place enough.

Taylor Moone

Chili with gluten free cornbread is heavenly. Being from the south, it’s hard to find good cornbread. Reminded me of my granny’s. Also, best gluten free brownie I have had in my life. I was full ages ago, but scarfed everything down. I will be back!

TL;DR: Discovered Purple Goat on a gluten free FB page. Good food & knowledgeable staff. We were in town over the weekend coming from the Twin Cities, and we stopped in on the way to our hotel, about an hour & a half before close. We hadn't eaten since that morning and were excited to try the menu. We ordered drinks, the pork nachos as an app, and a pair of burgers. Our server April very patiently answered all my questions about the gluten free menu & was very helpful. I had quite a few questions because the menu has a little message about gluten free options posted on a corner of the menu, but none of the individual items are labeled "GF/GS" The nachos were great, and I even ordered extra of the avocado verde salsa. Our burgers were good, juicy & flavorful. The fries they came with were also great. Overall we had a good experience, and would love to come back when we're in town again. We would definitely order the pork nachos again and work our way through the menu. I think the only thing I would love to see is a gluten free dessert option.

George Morris

The burgers were amazing. And they even had gluten free buns. Such a nice road trip gem to find!

megan lauer

Yummy food, gluten free and vegan options and very delicious. You will not regret going there !Free Parking in the back

Matt Nordin

Always fun! Cheap drinks, good food and even Gluten Free beer on tap!

Ruth Myers

The owner and bartender were very attentive and caring. They offered gluten-free buns and pizza, and the special was a big burger with tater tots for only $6. The drinks and beer were great, and they also had gluten-free options available. I can't wait to go back again!

The service was great and the atmosphere was very nice. The food was decent, but not amazing. I think they are trying really hard to get the farm to table, real food feel, but fall short in a couple of areas. They should use real ketchup, and the cheese on their cheeseburger was like plastic. Also, there weren't very many vegetable options. We asked for the brussel sprouts to be sauteed instead of fried, but they wouldn't do it. That was disappointing. Glad they have some gluten free options. The chicken was excellent- you can tell it's high quality. We will definitely come back, but I hope they try to raise the bar on their other ingredients and not use so much vegetable oils, but instead use butter, lard, or things that really do come from a farm. Update: we did get a phone call from the owner who said normally they can make vegetables with butter in a pan. Appreciate the follow up.

Carrie Geske

Good food, reasonable prices. Gluten free options marked GF on the menu. Food made from scratch. Server did not check back on us often enough for pop refill etc.

Nick Sampson

Great atmosphere. Mead is great! Their menu offers gluten free pizza (heggies frozen) and on the phone they said they have pans and utensils just for gluten free. However watching them unload the pizza, their "gluten free pans" are mesh! So not protected at all from cross contamination. If I were alone I would have returned it. However my wife was hungry so she could eat it. This was a major disappointment. The mead however was amazing. The selection of meads was great. The atmosphere was also very cool. If you aren't Celiac this is a great place. If you are a celiac, make sure to eat before coming here.

Kara Knight

Lovely date spot with great cocktails. Good gluten free options but I was informed it is not a dedicated GF kitchen. The Anne with an E cocktail was top notch! The Tia Maria coffee pudding was DELICIOUS. The Old Fashioned left something to be desired. Ambiance great, lovely decor, surreal to imagine I was doing Utkatasana in this same room in the Before Times.

Ella Grace

Everything was delicious and service was fantastic! My partner has severe celiac and our server went above and beyond to make sure she was safe. The food and drink selection were excellent and the price tag for two was reflected the quality. My only complaint was the noise- it was difficult to have a conversation even on a Tuesday night. I’ll be making a reservation for the patio next time!

Great place to go for dinner and a movie! Alamo stocks gluten free buns and pizza crusts, along with a handful of other naturally GF menu items (popcorn, chips and queso, etc)
