Top 31 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens to Explore in Tokyo

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

This is heaven for any gluten intolerant. I was amazed by their pancakes and sweet staff. Will book a new trip to Japan just to eat here again❤️

Excellent place for people with celiac disease! Everything is gluten-free and delicious. We tried the pepperoni pizza, a baguette, a bacon braid, and a kind of vegan curry-filled bun. It's a small takeout place, although there are a couple of benches outside where you can eat. The guy is very friendly and speaks perfect English. 100% recommended, but we recommend getting there early because they're so fast.

I happened to come across a gluten-free bakery so I went there with my husband. Everything looked delicious and it was hard to choose. The staff were friendly and very likable. When I received the bread, some were warm and I couldn't resist, so I tried them on a bench in a nearby square. They were plump and had the aroma of rice flour and were delicious. I'm going to buy some more now. I hope they still have some left.

Saved our trip! My son is gluten free, and Japan (largely) is not. It was very hard to find food for him, and other gluten free shops either weren’t really gluten free, or just tasted bad, had very small menus, or were closed when they said they were open. But Biossa had exactly what we needed. Good, fresh, delicious gluten free bread, muffins, baguettes, and croissants! That way we could pack and carry the breads around Tokyo, so my son could eat almost anywhere (by swapping out the provided breads with these gluten free ones). Game-changing. Thanks Biossa!

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

Chiffon cake very good and gluten free!!

This place is amazing. A quick walk from Kichijōji station, there's several pleasant spots to tuck in and eat. My wife is celiac and she had a life-restoring Ratatouille moment of eating a cake and creampuff unlike anything she had eaten since she was young in Europe and able to have gluten. Thank you so much for a great treat!

A very delicious vegan cake shop❤️ Located opposite the Shinjuku Gyoen front entrance. Ordered○Banana tart バナナタルト 950 yen (tax included) ●Very smooth and delicious, with a European style cake flavor. Vegan and gluten-free, but still feels super delicious. ●The cream is also very smooth. ♡You can order a whole cake, book 3 days in advance. ■Hope to book a whole cake for myself at one time😆

I ate here no more than 20 minutes ago and it was wonderful. It’s difficult to find gluten free places in Japan, especially along with being vegan - This restaurant was lovely, the food was great and the staff are so kind, friendly and sweet. We had the lunch plates (where you basically get to try a bit of everything, everywhere should do that am I right?!), donut, chocolate waffle and regular waffle - Everything was so nice, I’m vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater, we loved all of it but had opposite favourites to one another so it’s definitely worth a try! Enjoy everyone!

Showed coeliac card and was assured it would be fine but later found out they were unable to accomodate due to cross contamination.

I couldn’t believe there was such a famous sweets store in Kameido! I ordered a chiffon whole cake. It's so delicious that you can't believe it's gluten-free (rice flour). Plus the sweetness of the fruit. Above all, the deliciousness of fresh cream! The best in everything!

Miles Taylor

Very helpful with gluten free and celiac. Best corn bread I've ever had. They love sheep as well

Emma Lamomd

Really loved this place! I’m a very sensitive coeliac but despite the small risk of cross contamination I was totally fine and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I even ordered a dessert crepe afterwards seeing as the ice cream was gf too! Service was quick and the staff were lovely - I was informed that they had cleaned the plate they cook the crepes on but that they couldn’t guarantee it was safe - which was nice to see they understand the severity of coeliac and still try to accomodate! Safe to say it was well worth the slight risk

Excellent burgers and very interesting desserts, they also have gluten-free sandwiches so they can satisfy even those who need gluten-free. Service as always friendly, water included, prices slightly higher than average but worth it.

工藤拓

I went there on a weekday during the day. The only desserts were gluten-free muffins. The drinks were average. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

Filippo Montalti

As soon as we arrived at the fish market, we stopped at this pastry shop and tasted some sweets, even gluten-free ones, we liked them a lot. Gluten-free they have cheesecake and ice cream with Macha while for those who were not celiac they have cream puffs that are delicious so we recommend it for everyone.

Lovely tea, great gluten free cakes, quaint relaxing atmosphere and attentive service.

Lauren Ramsey

Such cool & unique flavors! Organic and high-quality ingredients used. Gluten-free and vegan options. I've been looking for something like this in Tokyo. Love love love

When I was having lunch at a nearby restaurant called Otamaju, I saw a flyer and found out about it. As it is a gluten-free sweet, Don't worry about that! I asked. These are the most delicious sweets ever. All muffins except those containing chocolate, chiffon cake, and, I bought gateau chocolat, which my 4th grader loves. without feeling guilty, I bought it as a morning gift. I ate one to taste in the car on the way home, and... Really delicious, Texture, exquisite blend, sweetness, Everything is very delicious, I don't snack, I ate it with all my heart's desire. The few remaining muffins, Morning of the next day, I also received it in the morning the next day, No change in taste, I thought it might have helped because it wasn't nearby. If you go nearby, I will also buy everything except chocolate. ( ´ ▽ ` )

My girlfriend has recently started eating gluten-free, so I was curious and went there for lunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good overall, and the staff were very friendly. There are many attractive menu items, and I ordered the taco lunch this time. The hot meat sauce was very delicious. I would definitely like to come here again! ☺️

Emily Schaub

Staff were very nice and accommodating. It was a hot day and they even offered us a Cookie Time fan to help. They even had a gluten free rocky road cookie which I was very thankful for as eating gluten free in Japan has been difficult for me and I have suffered the consequences. But not at Cookie Time! I first visited in NZ and so glad to visit again in Japan!

I’ve been a devoted fan of Riz Lie Amande’s creations since 2023, when I first came across them in Ningyocho. As the pastry chef and owner, Misa-san’s attention to detail and passion for gluten-free baking truly shine through in every treat. From the éclairs to the Gâteau Fraise and every other delicate dessert, each item has a moist, smooth texture and flavour that simply melts in your mouth. The gluten-free éclairs are so delicious, you’d never guess they’re free from wheat, even when you’re told. The Gâteau Fraise, with its perfect balance of light, fluffy layers and fresh strawberries, is my personal favourite. I couldn’t recommend Misa-san and Riz Lie Amande enough. Their gluten-free creations are nothing short of outstanding!

Lori Berenberg

amazing gluten free pancakes and drinks!

Review for こめパンカフェ (Monday & Tuesday) A really good gluten-free cafe serving rice flour baguette sandwiches. My chicken sandwich was delicious, and I really enjoyed the Satsuma potato pottage. The baguette was one of the best gluten-free baguettes I’ve ever had. It was crunchy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. Next time I will try to come earlier in the day so I can buy cinnamon rolls. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They also understood wheat and gluten sensitivities very well.

Gluten free sandwiches in a very cute cafe in Harajuku! Safe and yummy.

Tried the gluten-free cake and it was light and delicious😋 Best food especially for sensitive people🙏🏼🙏🏼 There are also hand-made ceramics in the store, which are worth a look👍🏼👍🏼 ~Please note-the store opening date and time~

Jørgen Sandhaug

Amazing gluten free pistacchio cake and cheesecake. Fresh juice, not too sweet. Quiet and comfortable. Will definitely come back! Edit: Have been here three times now, would 100% recommend this place!

Two years ago in March, I took my daughter, a second-year university student, for a stroll around Shibuya. We stopped in for lunch. ~We live in southern Kanagawa, and my daughter and I have bronchial allergies... We rarely have a chance to visit Shibuya, which is crowded with young people and foreigners... This was my daughter's third time in her life. I'm 60 years old, hmm, how many years has it been since I last visited?! (laughs) That's the Shibuya area. In front of Hachiko, which is in a different location from before. A long line of foreign tourists lined up. Redevelopment has seen new high-rise buildings rise in front of the station. Recalling the Shibuya I used to walk around when I was about the same age as my daughter (40 years ago💦). I tried to find traces of the past, but although the road structure is the same, the shops and buildings have changed a lot (sweat). Amidst all of that, the atmosphere around Spain Hill, where Bio Cafe is located, has not changed. Phew 😀 Parco, which is nearby (where I spent all of my part-time job pay of 10,000 yen that day, a bitter fate 😭), is also in the same place. Now, the rooftop garden is a secret spot for the night view 🥰 Maybe Biidoro, which is next to Bio Cafe, has been there since back then? I feel like I met up with a friend there to discuss a trip to Bali... 🤔 Memories of such distant youth are scattered like a mosaic in the streets of Shibuya. Hoping to reduce my daughter's allergies, I chose this gluten-free restaurant for lunch. Even though it was vegan food, it was well thought out and delicious👍 The lunch course was 1,880 yen, including salad bar and detox water. We ordered brown rice, fried chicken set, and vegan Mont Blanc. The fact that it was vegan didn't bother us at all, it was just a normal, delicious restaurant✌️ The service and the atmosphere were really not bad. I was a little concerned about the hygiene of the salad bar, so I took one star off. Unlike salad bars in regular restaurants or hotels, there were a lot of spilled food scattered around, perhaps because there were a lot of young customers. It was a little less clean? Tongs were shared, and overall, the area around the salad bar felt a bit messy. (Maybe it depends on the day.) Other than that, the food was delicious, and the location was easy to find and convenient. It's a good restaurant that's healthy but filling. Personally, I was happy that it's located on the nostalgic Spain Hill, right next to Parco, as it reminded me of a lot of the past 😘 On the way home, I told my daughter for the first time about my memories of Shibuya from my time as a university student and employee, as we headed from Koen-dori to the station. ~I would recommend this place for a day of strolling around Shibuya, whether it's for parents and children, friends, couples, or colleagues.
