Top 49 Gluten-Free Dessert 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.

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!

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.

Yummy! Best gluten free donuts I've had.

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

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!

Brooke Herrmann

Absolute adorable outdoor dining right in Oceanview. Kevin is kind, professional, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. The whole menu is gluten free and they also have a few great vegetarian options 🙂

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. 😎

Aaron Morse

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

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.

Bill Cole

They have one Gluten Free meal. Fish Tacos. Which were really good.

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!

Adam Lang

Kilauea Bakery has the best gluten free pastries and pizzas!

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!

Jeremiah Hoehner

Very inviting and cozy atmosphere with a beautiful view of the ocean, especially during sunset. Located not far from the downtown Front street attractions and retail/tourist area. The food was outsanding. Many gluten-free options. Great drink and wine selection. Amazing desserts. The server was quick, very polite and made excellent recommendations. The owner was awesome, too! We celebrated a group dinner here and everyone loved it.

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!!!

Helen Georgiou

Great place for variety. Portion sizes are large and plentiful. The wait staff are lovely and were very informed about gluten free requirements. Have eaten here twice during my stay and no issues after eating. Great gluten free choices available. The fries are cooked separately and are gf also! Thank you for a wonderful meal. If you want to come and eat here, come early as it's very popular and you may have to line up and wait a little, but the line moves quickly.

Ryan & Carey Doore

Delicious! We absolutely loved the pizza. Gluten free crust was 10/10! I highly recommend it if you are in Maui. A robot delivers the pizza. Fun atmosphere.

Ben S

Although the restaurant has a good vibe and the staff is friendly, I do not recommend this place for 3 reasons. First, we got their 12” pizzas unaware that they only come in gluten-free. It was the worst pizza crust I’ve ever had in my 50+ years, although the menu does mention it, It is not very clear and we missed it and our waitress did not confirm if we were OK with gluten-free pizza dough. I’m sure their 14” with regular pizza dough is better, but I cannot be the judge of that since we did not have it. Second, they brought our appetizer and salad after the pizzas. Third, their menu states they charge an automatic 20% gratuity for tables of 6 or more. Our table of 6 was actually charged 22% gratuity instead of 20%, so beware. There are many great food options in Maui, but I would stay clear of this restaurant for the reasons mentioned above.

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.

Gillian Haden

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

Bahr Bros

Service was excellent "Kiwi" waiter excelled Food tasted great fish and chips The mai tais were watery and not that good for my taste, so drink beer Don't go here for gluten-free because there is nothing available but a real bad tasting dessert at lunchtime

Christmas dinner buffet was amazing for my husband and two friends. Very busy night with attentive service. I am both gluten free and vegan and the chef made a special butternut squash risotto for me. I was able to make my own salad from the buffet easily. Wish I had known there were some other options on the buffet for me like veggie sushi and there might have been a veggie side dish I could have eaten. But happy the chef could accommodate me. Our server went to one of the other restaurants on property and brought back the most amazing vegan and gluten free chocolate avocado mousse. SO chocolaty! She went above and beyond. I want that recipe! Thanks for making our Christmas so special. Great ambience and what you would expect to pay at this place.

Paul T

Best Shave Ice on the island. Very conscious of gluten even though they do serve it.

Kelly Johnson

Gluten free and delicious!

Alfred Hofmann

Definitely the best shop, very fresh, gluten-free, cow's milk-free products are available there. We didn't find any items like this in other shops. Highly recommended this shop, nice helpful staff.

Morgan Axeman

The crepes here are awesome, especially their gluten-free options. Absolutely delicious. Their whole set up is also really cute. I got the butter cup one and it was great.

dcDalton

This place is located upstairs with no views of the ocean. Still nice though. They had some good gluten free options which was nice. Stairs and elevator are available. The street side stairs are slippery when wet. Dry rear stairs are available as well

July 2023 I made a reservation for 6pm on my honeymoon. ◯Meat For my main dish, I chose Porterhouse steak. During my stay, I went to another famous steak restaurant, and the meat at Ruth's was not only delicious, but the seasoning was relatively well-seasoned, and I could feel the restaurant's commitment to it. ◯Service The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere and a special feeling. We prepared a plate to celebrate our honeymoon. A separate gluten-free menu was available. It is also recommended for people with wheat allergies.

Liv French

The atmosphere, sunset, and vibes of this restaurant are definitely positive. However, we found the service and food to be poor. We found a lot of people we talked to when referring us to this restaurant would say, “Oh my gosh the sunset is amazing,” but they never spoke highly of the food and service. We found this to be true, unfortunately. The food was mediocre, we’d been on the island for over a week and were looking forward to this meal, but it was definitely a let down. Also, we were celebrating a milestone birthday while on the island and had ordered a cake from a local bakery that was gluten-free and vegan as the birthday boy has strict allergies. When speaking to the restaurant, they let us know an hour in advance of our reservation that we could ‘under no circumstances’ bring the Birthday cake that was accommodating severe allergies for the birthday boy. We ended up only going once during our trip and again, found management, the service, and food to be average and nothing to rave about.

Megan Thiessen

Reservations were recommended but we had no wait, arriving around 4:30pm. The staff was incredibly friendly, drinks and appetizers were served promptly, and every dish ordered was cooked to perfection. One of our party has Celiac disease/wheat allergy and the server was knowledgeable about every item on the menu, making this experience safe for her. Highly recommend.

Jake Crooks

Tucked away gem with gluten free cookies and sandwiches. A must try!

Katie Doble

We arrived in a pretty sour mood. My husband broke two toes while we are here so he couldn’t drive. I’m not able to drive at night. We couldn’t find a ride to the restaurant. We ended up being 20 minutes late for our reservation. Our server turned that around. Ashlynn was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She had a great energy about her. The food was amazing. I am gluten-free and she was very helpful in determining what I could eat. She totally nailed her wine recommendations. We were in such a great mood by the end of our dinner!

Celebrated our anniversary here and Roy’s was lovely. The food is was amazing, as well as the service. Made reservations, as most places in Honolulu need a reservation to get in and there was a slight wait to our table. The misoyaki butterfish was succulent and delicious. The carpaccio, tataki, and poke was refreshing. They were able to accommodate our dietary needs for gluten free. Keep room for desserts at the end. They also gave us ice cream at the end for our celebration.

Eugene Fan

Incredible food and great service. If you’re in Hilo, this place is a must. Also has gluten free options, and the kitchen was really accommodating.

Ashley Hale

They do list gluten free on some of their options. I did ask for a fresh/clean ice cream scoop and did not get a proper wash (just a dip in the water bucket). Could use better training on allergy safe tools.

Penny Weaver

Great place excellent food. Even for gluten free was great!

Jack Colter

Brittney Codera

Very disappointed. Coming back and having this again, so disappointed to not feel taken care of. I had my equal eats card. I had the conversation with the cashier, she had the conversations with the workers. I then asked specifically if they were going to touch gluten could they wash hands and/or change gloves. Then I watch the girl making the shaved ice, my shaved ice, eating a jar of overnight oats….while making my shaved ice! I was very upset. So I brought my shaved ice to my family and had to watch them eat it after waiting in a very long line.

I ordered the Crab Topped Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi, as this is right up my alley, and I was excited to see it as a gluten free option since I have a gluten free issue. Yummy, but I would say overpriced. Both of my parents ordered the Kiawe Roasted Chicken. This is also a gluten free option. The rosemary sweet potato hash that comes as a side with this dish was DELICIOUS! Both of my parents enjoyed their meals, but they also both agreed that the Huli Huli Chicken Plate on our Road to Hana journey for only $20 was better than the chicken here at Hula Grill for $33. Our view was incredible.

Delicious gelato, and perfect for Celiac- they only have gluten-free (warm, crispy, delicious) cones! Plus I'm extremely lactose intolerant, but every flavor is vegan! Got strawberry and matcha, and it was really delicious; the flavors were fresh and perfectly sweet, the texture was smooth and creamy, and the cones were unbeatable! Super nice service too :)
