Top 50 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens Across Illinois

We really loved it!!! The shrimp Po'boy was really good, the 3 egg omelet with avocado mesh was delicious and the Falafel was amazing!!! I wish there was a dine-in option. Finding a 100% Gluten free place is tough. Wheat End Cafe is doing a great job, serving real food and not just pastries. We will come back for sure.

The puck of love is my absolute favorite gf treat in the city!

First time ordering delivery for a Gluten Free pizza. The pizza was delicious and came in Gluten Free box as expected. Based on reviews pizza did not affect Celiac individuals. Based on reviews items are kept separate to avoid cross contamination. I hope it stays true to this so we can keep ordering it for our family. Thank you!

We recently used Sweet Ali for food to keep a celiac bridesmaid safe for an entire weekend. They also helped us with sweets for our vegan guests. Definitely recommend!

Sylvia Smith

Excellent gluten free options, including blueberry pancakes!

Claire Nelson

Elizabeth was a fantastic server and very helpful with my dietary restrictions! I am gluten free and dairy free.

Charlotte Slater

I initially visited this restaurant for its gluten-free options, but it exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, incredibly satisfying, and left me eager to return. I dined here multiple times during my visit and always left happy and fulfilled. The service was consistently friendly and professional.

Can’t see a brunch menu for them?

Beth Cummings

Always safe and so many options s

Mary Bohn

As a celiac girlie, idk if I would go here again. I didn't get a huge feeling of confidence that my food was handled with care. The restaurant is more of a burn & turn style brewery. The bacon wrapped shrimp & triple sausage plates were amazing, I just can't speak to how safe they were. They do not have a dedicated fryer. They do have the Glutenberg GF beer and GF desserts. I didn't try any of the desserts though

Janet Stache

One of the best gluten-free burger we ever had in the US. Staff is very nice

Emili Bennett

Favorite restaurant in Chicago. Never disappoints! Always accommodates gluten free allergy.

We were in Chicago for business. My friend has severe allergies, gluten, nuts, strawberries, eggs. We selected Mon Ami Gabi based on options for gluten free. We made reservation and arrived about 20 minutes early. Entrance to the hotel is gorgeous. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Making sure we parked at the correct valet location (there's 2 one for residence one for restaurant. They brought us to the bar while we waited for seating. Barkeep was very friendly and very efficient. We didn't wait more then 20 minutes for our table. We were seated and we ensured they were aware of the concerns for gluten and other allergens. Waiter already was aware thanks to OpenTable reservation, I'd added a comment so they'd know ahead. They were extremely considerate pointed out the dishes that are GF. We skipped an appetizer and ordered dinner. The wait staff were friendly without being overly. Food was delivered quickly and cooked to perfection. I ordered medium rare beef and my friend ordered salmon almondine(without the almonds). Food was flavorful and delicious. Not only was our server attentive but the other staff ensured we were comfortable, well taken care of, and had everything we needed. They cleared dishes and glasses quietly while you ate without being distributive and made sure the water glasses were always full. I'd highly recommend the restaurant if you're in the area. For a Thursday the place was Busy. Reservations highly recommended. A mixture of date nights, family dinners (with younger kids) special occasions. Some folks were dressed up others in flannels and it all worked.

This place was so good!! I got the chorizo and cheese taquitos and they were fantastic. The drinks were all pretty good and the price wasn’t crazy! Would 100% go back

David Dempsey

4.9 rating is too low somehow. Popovers are my absolute favorite. The only downside is I wish the hours were more convenient. My celiac boss was in town and when I presented her with a bag she was so excited and then her face sunk when I said I couldn’t get eye candy. Luckily gift ugly noodle next door is an top tier consolation prize

Alexander Goreham

We came here with my wife's parents for mother's Day dinner, and we had a great time. Our waitress was Edna and she was great! Due to a Celiac allergy, we felt comfortable with Edna 's knowledge of what was safe to eat and her recommendations were spot on, and we had some awesome food and a great time celebrating mother's Day. We highly recommend this place.

Laura McKee

Great gluten free, vegan, and delicious food. Kind people. Nice space

Merve Naja

Ramen is delicious! They have rice noodles for gluten free. They also have Sapporo on tap, Two Brothers gluten free beer and few other gluten free options as well. Ramen are huge. It gets very busy on weekend nights but service is fast. We ate sitting at the bar and it was fun.

Arrissa OHara

I was diagnosed with celiac about a month ago and I have been super upset about deserts and not being able to have certain things. Walking into the bakery and seeing all the options I could have was absolutely amazing!! Not only were there multiple options but also they taste amazing!! My fiancé who can have gluten has tried gluten free food and doesn’t like it but I had to take my tiramisu away from him because he was going to eat it all! If I could give more stars I would!! Highly recommend!

Kaitlyn M

I’m a celiac and these donuts are the only ones I’ve ever had to have a good texture! I didn’t get sick and the gf donuts were in a separate case from the rest. Also try the Havana iced coffee, it was amazing!!

Julia Summers

By owner: "We are a dedicated Gluten Free Kitchen! We cater to many food allergies. We are a scratch kitchen, so most dishes can be modified or adjusted. We look forward to serving you!"

Eva Gandhi

I had a great friend share these with me so cannot speak to the price but OMG best gluten free “baked” dessert I’ve had. I feel so good after eating it and it’s still sweet. Truly perfect. I think the best flavors are the date one and the banana bread cup. And it’s vegan, yay!

Regina Torres

This British bakehouse is phenomenal, personable, and not insanely priced. I'm not even gluten free and I loved it. My friend has celiac disease and is so limited when it comes to wheat eats so we went there as a small group to try it out and have some weekend fun. We each drooled over everything we ordered, (and I have a professional baking background so I'm pretty discerning)... Lemon bars, raspberry cake, other vanilla cake of some kind, sprinkled donuts and lattes. Go get them. Now. You're welcome. When I'm in the area again I will definitely be back for another sugar rush.

TLC 2

Great experience at Pizzeria Uno. Medium deep dish easily feeds 2 people. Numero Uno pizza was delicious. All the toppings were cooked perfectly and were so fresh. We ordered bbq chicken pizza with gluten free crust and the gluten free crust is thinner than the regular deep dish.

Matthew Foster

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Elizabeth Nemura

Wonderful cafe with the sweetest staff and tasty gluten free doughnuts, wraps, and THE BEST bacon. As locals we frequent this place -- they take extra care to appreciate every customer. Highly recommend.

Sasha rodriguez

Absolutely delicious! Celiac/Gluten Free friendly. I appreciate the customer service, fresh ingredients, and gluten free sauce options. The space is clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excited to go back soon!

Alexys Kelsey

Cool date night spot. Options for everyone! I am gluten free (intolerance not allergy) and had no issues. I really loved Madai and I always love me some Chicago RAW. It was really nice to have the greenhouse-like glass roof above us, but I felt like some nice ambient music would have been a good addition. The service is was very polite and speedy.

Paradiddle 218

we got the shakshula with gf toast, enchiladas, and chilaquiles!! it was amazing and they put an allergy marker for celiac.

Elena Dowin Kennedy

Excellent cider and food. As a celiac it was wonderful to have so many gluten free options. I tried the cauliflower wings, fried pickles, shrimp and grits, and paella. All were excellent, but if I had to choose the paella was the standout. Trying many ciders the Vibes from the Orchard and E-phoria were the standouts. Both were uniquely flavorful, crisp, and not overly sweet. We sat outside as a group of 7 with little kids and they had a blast moving about outside, but service was slow.

Beth Chiet

By far and away the best gluten free treats we’ve ever had! The focaccia is so light and fluffy you don’t even know that it’s gluten free! Everything is nut free and I’ve never had anything bad!!!!

Mandy Konior

amazing good with gluten free options!

Michael Scanlon

First issue was the lack of understanding of celiac. I get that my fiancée having a disease is our limitation but this restaurant was supposed to be good about it. We explained about how even cross contamination makes her sick and the 2nd thing we ordered was brought out and when we asked if it was fried (Brussel Sprouts) they said yes and we asked if it was a shared fryer and they said yes. So she couldn’t eat it. (When we already explained that she would get sick from cross contamination, this was a major oversight by the waiter). They also had very small portions of the pasta dishes and the prices were way higher than they should be given the quality of food being just okay. Really disappointed overall.

Lee Mariño Clyne

Delicious food with gluten-free and vegan options. Small shop, but worth the visit!

Jenn and Ryan Goggans

Best gluten free Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Gluten free chicken Parmesan is to die for

Torie Thoman

Cannot recommended enough!!!! Gluten-free and vegan menus!

Brittany Wine

Excellent salad and husband said the gluten free bread was excellent. Thanks to the owner for the celiac friendly recommendations 👏👏👏

Natalie Foster

Great little spot for Celiac safe food. My SIL especially liked the donuts, bars and cookies.

Sarah W

Japanese BBQ spot with a separate GF menu and GF soy sauce!

Rebecca Manning

Fantastic breakfast! Server and entire staff were very helpful in assuring my meal was gluten free. Highly recommend!

Danielle Akrap

Great gluten free options for celiacs! Cheese curds and truffle sauce are absolutely delicious and cooked in gf oil! Beautiful atmosphere!

Kareena

Great spot — highly recommend! Beautiful decor and ambiance with solid drinks and food to match. What we ordered: Whipped feta with truffle honey — delicious Feta pistachio pesto Gluten-free spiced beluga lentils Drinks were great too. If you’re into something on the sweeter side, try the Lavender Knees Bees. All around, 10/10

Stefano Andreon

Very good gluten free pizza. 49 dollars for a pizza and a coke (very small, indeed, not even 250 ml) is too much.

Tamiko N.

This spot is amazing—had on my Google list for a while!!! They do no processed foods and have a separate menu for vegan/vegetarian/gluten free-win! The meals ordered were super flavorful, filling and just the right portions! I loved the Vegan Fungi With Cauliflower hash—the addition of the cranberries and sweet potatoes was an added savory bonus! My friend also loved the maple Turkey sausage and the pancakes- that were thin instead of fluffy! They loved it! We left pleasantly full and at peace! Last but not least, we both loved our waiter who was super attentive and patient too! Will definitely come back and bring more people!

Joey

My experience was great for the most part. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable; the atmosphere was lively and fun; the bathrooms were clean; and the food and cocktails were fantastic. I chose Wildfire because our friend has Celiac, so I wanted her to have gluten-free options. She was pleasantly surprised that their gluten-free menu was so long. She said she was used to only having a few choices. The server also offered her gluten-free bread. So if you or someone you know has Celiac disease, this restaurant is a great choice. Just about everything took longer to make it to our table than most restaurants I’ve been to within the last few years. It wasn’t a horrible wait, but it was noticeable. Because of this, our server wasn’t around much. There were several times when I wanted to ask our server about another appetizer or another drink, but she never came by. That’s the only reason I took off one star—that, and the sneaky 3% they add to the check to offset costs. Yes, you can ask them to remove it, but it’s not like this restaurant is super cheap anyway. Why not add the 3% to the food in general if you’re struggling as a business? Regardless, I would definitely return.

Went for lunch the other day. Amazing gluten free menu and staff so friendly. We arrived last hour they were open and I didn't feel rushed at all. Prices great and food was delicious!

Khloe Carattini

Service was great the lady was super passionate about her business and what you put in your body all clean ingredients and doesn’t even taste gluten free I got the mango berry smoothie and the avocado scramble wrap

Olivia Guzzardo

Fantastic vegan ice cream that everyone will love! Great gluten free options as well. Love that they have rotating flavors. The staff is always nice and helpful. This weekend was really hot and they kept the line moving quickly. A must try!

Lauren Crouch

We visited Sweet Katie B’s in O’Fallon, Illinois today after finding it online while searching for new gluten-free bakeries and it did not disappoint! We’re from St. Louis, so it was a bit of a drive, but absolutely worth it. We showed up early and were pleasantly surprised by how many gluten-free options they had (way more than we expected). Since it was still morning, we ordered breakfast: gluten-free biscuits and gravy, a hash brown-crusted broccoli and cheddar quiche (my personal favorite), and a quiche Lorraine with bacon that was also so good. I genuinely could’ve eaten another whole broccoli cheddar quiche because it was that delicious. They also had a big gluten-free pastry case with items like cinnamon rolls, which we didn’t try this time but definitely will in the future. The service was just as good as the food. Everyone we interacted with seemed to genuinely care—especially about gluten-free guests. From what I understand, the owners and their daughter (who helped us and was super kind and helpful) are all gluten-free themselves, which really shows in the attention to detail. All around, such a great experience. We’ll absolutely be back.

We had supper for 6 of us and Erika was our waitress on Friday the 14th at 730pm .this was at stromburg mall I don't have receipt so want to make sure correct store gets the review.she was very professional but extremely friendly. I have celiac and she made sure my meal was OK and had the steak cooked exactly like I wanted no seasonings just butter keeps away seasoning I can't have.she was on top of making sure we had a great experience.
