Top 50 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Havens Across Hawaii

Hannah Merrifield

Celiac approved safe! Extremely tasty food, kept us well fed and safe from allergen contamination. Our family has allergies to gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, and we ate here without issue. The staff are warm and happy to double check ingredients. Plus, it is delicious! As anyone with allergies knows, delicious isn’t always an option. We ate here at least five times during our week stay in Maui. I loved it so much, I bought one of their cute tee shirts!

Stopped in for a coffee on my way from Two Step to Kona. The gluten free brownies tasted like the real deal and my iced Haupia Caramel latte was perfectly creamy and slightly sweet. Definitely add this to your list if you’re visiting.

We stopped by Lulu’s for lunch because they have a pretty robust selection of gluten free items, which seems hard to come by in Waikiki. We had a lot of trouble with our order - 2 of our drinks had to be remade, the eggs on my Lulu Moco were fried instead of the requested over easy, and we ended up with a fly in another drink.. BUT I’ll say Sage, the waiter, and the manager both handled it really well. Both were very on top of getting things remade and coming to check on us to make sure everything was fixed to liking. The food was also good, but the fish tacos were definitely the best thing any of us ordered.

Entirely gluten free kitchen. They have amazing tacos with homemade corn tortillas. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. All sauces and tacos are gluten free and celiac friendly. I have gone here everyday since being in Kappa — so good & highly recommend!!

Can’t even explain how incredible this place is, the pizzas never disappoint. Probably the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. Our family has been coming here for years. It’s very kid-friendly, and the staff is always so upbeat and kind. Truly one of the best spots in Maui. You can’t go wrong with any of their pizzas. They also offer gluten-free crust for celiac, and they give dough to little ones to play with, which is such a thoughtful touch.

I either have Celiac Disease or am just gluten sensitive (idk which). This place has gluten free cinnamon rolls, and they are FANTASTIC! You cannot tell they are gluten free. My only tip: The gluten free cinnamon rolls did not come warm and gooey like the regular cinnamon rolls did for other people in my party. HOWEVER, if you warm them up in the microwave, they’re fresh, hot, and gooey! Delicious! Oh, and BIG!

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.

Erin Zipp

Best fish tacos ever -- and gluten free.

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

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.

Melanie Rodriguez

Only has gluten free donuts Friday-Sunday.

Romina C

I ordered gluten-free and it was delicious! Highly recommended!

Dave Whitaker

Great spot for sushi. Just needs a few more options for gluten free. All in all a great experience nonetheless.

Aubrey Ledyard

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

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!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Trisha Hariani

Lots of gluten free options!

Sin Arj

FIVE STARS! I'm vegetarian and my friend is gluten free and pretty much all their food catered to both of us. Fresh. Healthy. Delicious. Unique food. Lovely staff. Cosy atmosphere. Coming again and again for sure. 100% recommend.

Pilar Orellana

A very pleasant and special place. We received excellent service. They have a special gluten-free menu, and the waitress advised us on the best dishes and answered all our questions about local fish. The food was very good, and the portions were generous.

Sabrina Betancourt

Eat here if you have the chance! The atmosphere was awesome, from the decoration to the gaming consoles at every table. The service was fantastic, very welcoming. The food was delicious, i ordered a gluten free pizza which was so good and my kids loved their pizza too eating the whole thing. Definitely recommend!

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. 😎

Nanette Gefreh

Wonderful gluten free food choices including an incredible dessert! A great treat!

Michelle Ruth

This was fun! Great for kids! And they have gluten free batter option for the pancakes which is great!

Hayley George

Great flavor - one of our best meals on the island. Very accommodating of gluten free/dairy free dietary needs.

Audrey Palmer

Food was delicious! Services was excellent. Our server, Julia, was friendly, efficient and helpful. My husband and I are both celiac and they understood and made sure our food was safe for us. Would highly recommend!

Aaron Morse

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

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.

Sanja Cvetanovic

I was looking for a gluten-free poke and I got it. Super tasty. Lineups in February were long, but it is unbelievable how quickly you get your order once you order it.

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.

Sarah Be

Loved our experience here, beachside, sunsets, tasty food. Another reason for the top review is the quantity and quality of gluten free offerings,

Craig Froehle

Good food. Very accommodating of celiac. Yummy. Friendly. Good service. Really yummy drinks.

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!

Hailey

Fish tacos were good! They had corn tortillas for us gluten free people.

Dorothy F Shelton

Such a cool place to eat! I got a spinach bagel made on gluten free bread that was a little disappointing because it wasnt super flavorful, but my husband got the pineapple pizza on gluten free crust and that was super good! I appreciate there being gluten free options! They will make the bagels or sandwiches with gluten free bread! And they play hawaiian Jesus music and they just put on such a nice atmosphere here. :) this place deserves more business!

Meghan Clarke

Amazing food from a literal hole in the wall. There’s nowhere to sit, strictly take out. The pork is fantastic. Almost everything there is also gluten free, except for the flour tortillas for the burritos. Really nice people too.

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

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!

Liv Campbell

The food was amazing. I'm glad we made a stop for more local caught seafood. The service was very friendly, but I was a little disappointed to not receive my side dish. I had to order gluten-free, and was told I would get mixed greens, but instead I just got three full scoops of furikake rice. Delicious. But more rice than I needed. The food was great and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Semi casual inside. A nice place to enjoy a family dinner. Definitely stop at Umekes for poke. I was really happy to try the gluten-free Hawaiian poke. It was a generous helping of high quality, delicate and buttery fish with some tasty seasonings. Yum!

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.

Mikkel Prim

Great for anyone with allergies. Very accommodating! I have celiacs and can eat here without worry. Chicken is delicious and has a dedicated gluten free fried for the chicken and French fries. One of my favorite spots in Kona!

Nanette Gefreh

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

Zach

Easily one of, if not my favorite place to eat in Hilo. A beautiful atmosphere filled with flowers and joy. The food is extremely fresh and they go the extra mile to make sure they source high quality local, organic ingredients. This cafe is a Hilo Staple and a must visit. And don't forget to check out all of there wonderful gluten free, vegan desserts!!!

RO

Overpriced but good açai. It is not the typical Brazilian açai it is blended with banana and other things. No seating space. Has gluten-free granola.

Pragna Basu

We initially missed the sign for this place, but once we saw it, it was easy to find and get parking. We had gluten free fish tacos and Hawaiian poke bowl, both were pretty good. The server was knowledgeable about gluten free options, and made sure to keep the fries which could be cross contaminated on the side, which my partner could eat. He also had a lilikoi cheesecake which he loved.

Karen Gamble

Stayed in Paia and was able to walk to Mana Food Mart. Was shocked at how low their prices were. And they have the biggest selections. This was a huge deal for me since I am on a gluten free diet.

Adam H

Great spot for really good deli sandwiches and paninis. Reasonable and tasty. Gluten free options

Gillian Haden

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

Jayne Reynolds

This was an amazing food stop. The meals were fantastic, wholesome, and delicious. Gluten free options were fantastic. Loved this!
