The safest place to eat gluten free in northern NJ

This diner is a godsend for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about safe preparation and the food is solid. Highly recommend!

Kira Dacanay

We had an apple turnover, vanilla donut, and a chocolate filled pastry (vegan, but not the gluten free versions). Absolutely wonderful, all 3. Rich, great texture, perfect apple filling to pastry ratio.

Mary Romond

We bought an apple crumb pie today. I am not gluten free, but it was the most delicious pie I have in a very long time. The crumbs are as delicious as the crust and filling …👍💕🥧

Catherine M

Gluten free tricolor cake and black & white cookies!

James Cramer

This was the best gluten free burger I've ever had. Gluten free buns aren't normally very good but this was amazing. My wife got one of their salmon entrees and loved it as well. We got in faster than we thought and our server was attentive and friendly.

Merylin Maldonado

If you’re looking for an old time charming diner this is the place to go, no bells and whistles…just outstanding service & super delicious food. We have food sensitivities and Cora (our server) was very attentive to our dietary needs. The other servers were friendly as well. The menu was easy to read( not overwhelming), gluten free options are available and these items were highlighted on the menu. We will definitely be back soon!

Kristina Heft

Amazing breakfast this morning. The owner’s daughter has celiac so very aware of cross contamination. My daughter with celiac had pancakes with strawberries. This was her first time eating breakfast at a restaurant since she was diagnosed with celiac. They can make anything on the menu gluten free. The only thing that is not gluten free is the scrapple and tater tots. Very good, we will be back.

Chimney Rock takes food sensitivities very seriously. As a parent of a child with celiac disease, Chimney Rock provides a safe place for my child to eat and feel like any other kid. When we originally called to talk to them about how they handle food, the first person we spoke to answered confidently that they properly separate food prep areas for people with celiac or other gluten sensitive conditions. This told me they train their staff on this subject. They have a ton of gluten free meals, including pizza. The first time we ate here after my child's diagnosis we had so many questions. Our waitress was patient, wrote down everything, double checked with the kitchen and management, and came back to our table multiple times to make sure everything we asked was answered to our satisfaction. Honestly I can't say enough good things about Chimney Rock Inn. We ate here a bunch of times before celiac and it's been good food and service consistently over the years. Eat here. Bring your family. You'll not regret it.

Best gluten free sandwich I've ever had!!! They use Two Fields Italian rolls which is the only edible gluten-free bread in my opinion. I was skeptical to try because of how much I disliked other gluten-free sandwiches such as the warm have a Jersey Mike's. I was pleasantly surprised! I'll definitely be going back.

Rachel

Almost killed our friend with celiac. Got there at 6:30, didn’t receive food until 8:00. Food received was cold and not appetizing. Never came over to tell us what the issue was and left us hungry.

A Hidden Gem with Heart Thank You, Eleanor! I called Bradley Bake Shop last minute in a bit of a panic, trying to find a vegan and gluten-free cake for my friend’s birthday she has strict dietary restrictions and I didn’t want her to miss out on her special day . From the very first moment, Eleanor was an absolute dream to work with. Not only was she polite, professional, and incredibly accommodating, but she made the entire process feel easy and joyful even managing to make it all happen the same day! Her warmth over the phone was instantly reassuring, and meeting her in person was even better. You can feel her love and passion the moment you walk into the shop. It’s clear she doesn’t just bake she pours her sweetness & heart into every detail. We chose the red velvet vegan/gluten-free cake and WOW it was incredible! Moist, flavorful, beautifully made, and most importantly, my friend was able to enjoy every bite without worry. It was healthy, delicious, and absolutely full of love. Thank you, Eleanor, for saving the day and making it so sweet—literally! I’ll definitely be back and recommending you to everyone I know. 💕🎂

Melanie Gazaway

Great place for plant-based, gluten and dairy free eats!!

Kimberly Giang

My husband and I finally came here to dine in. Last time we had pizza here it was just a little take out window and wow had it transformed! I didn't expect it to be as large on the inside. The vibe was cozy and energetic with loud lively music. I loved the gluten free options. I pretty much created my own gluten free vegan style pizza and my husband had the pepperoni pizza. It was super delicious. Service was great. Overall a great experience!

Daniel Winters

This gluten-free bakery is absolutely incredible! Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon not long before closing. Egg and cheese on English muffin was outstanding and the coffee can't be beat. The crumb cake and cinnamon donuts were delectable. Both items had a light almost fluffy consistency and the taste was absolutely scrumptious. After carbing up for brunch, I left with a bag full of tasty gluten-free baked treats and salad for later. Owners are super cool and it's a nice mellow atmosphere. First visit but certainly won't be the last 😃

Darla Squeo

Got gluten free deserts for a party and they were the best they had ever had and have tried many.

Marcia Isabel García

I have been coming to Plum bakery for many years now. Love the country bread, dulce de leche, quiche, corn bread, cinnamon bagel, all! It will be love at first sight when you enter the bakery, as the sweet smell will enchant you! Thank you for providing delicious and healthy 100% gluten free bakery! ps: as there is no gluten and no preservatives, make sure you store anything you buy on a sealed container or freeze them (I slice and freeze my country bread) and will last for some time! Enjoy it!

Love Asbury Kitchen! Breakfast is my fav meal of the day, and OC def has a lot to offer when it comes to breakfast/brunch! My boyfriend has celiacs (gluten free allergy) and this is our go to! Equipped with a separate fully Gluten Free menu, gluten free desserts, and accommodating staff. There were so many options we’ve never seen at other places (gluten free eggs benedict— pictured) and so much more that we need to go back and try— gluten free almond pound cake- yes please! I got a regular Jersey Eggs Benedict which was absolutely delicious and he got the same made gluten free and we shared a stack of gluten free pancakes with fresh strawberry and crispy bacon. Everything was made to perfection!!! Cozy and clean atmosphere, friendly staff and lots of options! Highly recommend for breakfast/brunch and especially for any friends with allergies!

Rob Summer

Nice selection of gluten free, sugar free desserts.

Lisa Dagle

So happy to have found this amazing gluten free spot! 5 star service and food options! Definitely my new favorite weekly place! Can’t wait to go back!

Jen D

Love true foods ! Waitress was very accommodating for my daughter order who just wanted a gluten free pizza with red sauce and vegan cheese . Love the lavender matcha ! I always order that and so many vegan options. First time trying the vegan cookie and ice cream was delish !

Amy Bruno

Thank you, Kizbee's! Jenna helped me choose the perfect flavors and decorations for two graduation cakes - her knowledge of the products being requested as well as her professional recommendations were extremely helpful. Both cakes were absolutely delicious - most of our guests could not believe they were gluten free! And our dietary restricted guests really appreciated the ability to enjoy delicious desserts at our event. I would highly recommend Kizbees Kitchen, and we will definitely continue to order from Jenna for all our special events!

gianna rocchetti

I love mahana fresh! This gluten free food is absolutely delicious. There is also plenty of vegan options as well as non vegan options. I would definitely recommend coming here!

Jessica Baltadonis

Brigantine is such a cute town to get away from when staying in AC. I love coming here because they have a wide range of things to eat for breakfast to dinner, and they’re accommodating to gluten free diners. They also allowed my pup outside and brought her chicken breast that I ordered in a doggy bowl. It definitely feels like a homey locals spot and I always look forward to visiting!

Michael Carroll

Best gluten free bakery we have found over the years .

thomas beckett

Accommodates to personal requests. Highest Quality gluten-free free In the area! Always a pleasure thanks!!!

Alex P

A very pleasant shop. There is a lot packed into the space, but in a good way. Excellent use of shelving and floor space. If you are looking for gluten-free cake mixes, dips, snacks, honey, and other foods, Nola B's has got you covered. There is also a selection of chilled items and baked goods. They also have some fun knicknacks like small creamer pitchers, quirky signs & hand towels, and candles. Whether you are searching for gluten-free or not, it's worthwhile to stop by Nola B's.

Upon arriving, we received a not very warm welcome which set a not nice tone for the evening. However, things quickly became a bit disappointing. When being seated, the host mentioned he saw the Resy notes indicating someone in our party was plant-based and gluten-free and asked if we’d like that menu. If it was already noted in the reservation, it would’ve made sense to have those menus ready at the table or automatically offered. Otherwise — what’s the point of specifying it ahead of time? Our server, Mary, unfortunately wasn’t very knowledgeable about the plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free options. She seemed unsure of the menu, had to double-check multiple times, and lacked confidence in answering basic questions about ingredients and modifications. It’s frustrating as a guest when you take the time to add dietary preferences in advance specifically to avoid situations like this. The veggie soup was far too salty and unenjoyable, though the eggplant parmesan was actually pretty good. The Saratoga still water isn’t a personal favorite and it was the only option, so I had to add several lemon wedges just to make it palatable. The most disappointing moment was when I asked about plant-based desserts. Mary seemed confused by the request until my mom clarified by saying “vegan dessert,” which then prompted her to bring over a tray of pre-made dessert shooters to choose from. Honestly, that felt off-putting. Who knows how long those had been sitting out or how many tables they’d been to that night. It just wasn’t an appealing or thoughtful presentation, especially for a restaurant that prides itself on seasonal and fresh offerings. The restaurant was nearly empty given it was the 4th of July, so it would’ve been an ideal opportunity for attentive service. I’m hoping this was just an off night, perhaps due to holiday staffing. I might give them another try on a regular evening to see if it was an isolated issue — but based on this visit, it definitely missed the mark.

Best food, fresh and amazing for Celiacs! The nachos are so delicious!!! Highly recommend!

Marie Soldo

I’ve had gluten free items from the Matawan location before and they were always good. But it was the complete opposite at this location. The cookie sandwich was hard and greasy, one bite and I was done. The brownie cookie and raspberry oat bar were very grainy and not good. For the price that everything was, it should be much better than it was. I’ll just stick to my Simple Mills gluten free cake mixes because at least I know they’re good!

collene albertson

just went there last weekend, it was amazing! They use A&A pretzels, and Fox and Sons mixes for funnel cake and corn dogs. We tried pretty much everything except pizza on the menu!

jessica lorenzo-cordero

Really like that they have that GLUTEN FREE French macaroon option 10/10 delicious! SEED OILS I suspect, the woman I asked one evening said to me that “the baker isn’t here and I’m not going back there to figure it out” PLEASE tell me I’m wrong! Coconut oil for the WIN:)

Lauren Chamides

Fantastic restaurant for gluten free and regular food! The gluten free brownie sundae was the best!

Bernadette Delaney

RUN here if you have celiac or other GF needs. They have fried donuts that don't taste like dry cake. SO GOOD. The marscapone donut was my favorite. The Nutella bites were good, but not as good as I hyped them up in my mind. If this place was around the corner from me I'd be here daily.

Lisa Gorman

They are so delicious. The gluten free cake pops are amazing! The owners and workers are very nice and helpful. .

Dana Lashendock

The food and service here are excellent! They have such an amazing gluten free menu also! Love this place!

rockyy torres

great vibes, fast service and gluten free options :)

Shelby Davis

Love this place its celiac safe but call ahead to make sure the celiac safe worker is there!

Pablo Drucker

Everything is excellent! Gluten-free options!

Lauren Cala

Best gluten-free chicken, Caesar wraps!

Natali Heiss

I love this spot; I’m gluten free and always suspicious of restaurants that say they have good gluten free options. But their French toast was incredible! Coffee was hot and fresh, it was very loud so if you’re noise sensitive I would recommend going at a lighter trafficked time of day or sit outside. The waiter and hostess were fabulous and helpful.

Monika Panesso

We all love Scoops just been here with my kids eating a chocolate vegan ice cream with a gluten free cone. Yummy

Karla Yatckoske

I ordered from Busy Bee on UberEats and was very pleased with my order! The breakfast burrito was so tasty and filling; that plus a slice of banana bread made two meals for me! I really appreciated that the sauce is dairy free! The gluten free tortilla was tasty and did not fall apart. The granola and banana bread were both very tasty as well! I'm gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian, and I'm so happy to have found this restaurant that has tasty and nourishing options!

Michael

Had a burrito on a gluten-free wrap. Latte was great as well as the vegan/dairy-free/gluten-free banana bread. As a pilot sometimes I don’t have enough time to dine in restaurants. They were on UberEats and would recommend to anyone local! Also Joanne called me during my order prep for a question about my Latte. Their attention to detail was not expected but very welcomed!

Kristen Kohne

Had a great experience here today. The restaurant (new location) is gorgeous - modern and clean and not overcrowded inside. Beautiful. The food was delicious too. I had a gf Caesar salad that was incredible and a risotto special with lobster that was excellent. Nearly every pasta dish could be made with gf pasta and the chicken parm could be made with grilled chicken and gf pasta, which also sounded good (and healthier than traditional breaded and fried chicken anyway). The only negative was the way we were greeted at the reception. The ladies seemed stressed out and had intense discussions with each other about my reservation and the fact that one person ended up not being able to make it. It was very off putting and we did not feel welcomed at all. I considered walking out…but I didn’t want to be charged! After we were seated everything was lovely.

Karen Armas Landau

Casual- you can even pick up some ‘grab and go.’ Comfortable and clean and nice. Variety- breakfast, lunch, soup, tacos, some muffin/brownie goodies, coffee, tea, fresh juices. Healthy options- salads, not fried, GF if needed,…. Coffee was delicious- just a splash of coconut milk, no sugar needed. The GF toast! It was so perfect I had to double check that it was gluten free! Everything on my Bali plate breakfast was a little extra special- I think it was pesto spread on the toast (or a dab of pesto butter or something), the little salad had a very nice dressing- and wasn’t dripping in it. The avocado was perfect (such a short window of time with avocados!) and had a little something sprinkled on it. The cashier was very helpful and very patient as I took it all in and decided what I wanted. Wish there was one closer to my home or where I work- I’d be back frequently!

Bryce Reynolds

Always great service and the coffee is delightful. I’ll add that the gluten free baked goods are amazing. I’m not a gluten free person and generally hate gluten free baked goods, but these are outright delicious. I’d never have guessed they were gluten free and still don’t understand what magic they use.

Elizabeth

Delicious food and great service. Tip for dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan folks: you have options! Get the gluten-free pancakes or gluten-free waffles. Those are made with almond milk, hence dairy free, and end up being vegan as well. You can get any of their specialty pancakes or waffles with the gluten-free recipe. Just make sure the toppings (like whipped cream) are removed if you're dairy-free or vegan. You can also get the almond milk latte if you're looking for a milky coffee option.

Za’atar Tuna on an everything bagel.. the best gluten free bagel I’ve ever had!
