Top 19 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens to Explore in Portland

Love their donuts, pizza and focaccia. Totally gluten free and delicious

Abigail Sanderson

My go-to spot for a special treat when I’m in downtown! The whole experience is delightful. I always try something new and the pecan bun is my latest favorite. Gluten free, vegan, sweet and savory options means there’s something for everyone!

Amazing gluten free baked goods

100 percent gluten free fried food. Corn dogs with all beef and one kilbasa. They had a vegetarian option as well but did not try it. Also being 100 percent gluten free I got an order of fries. Grabbed a gluten free beer and enjoyed the dinner.

Great gluten free crust

CJ

Food is pretty good, in particular their soup, okra, and chicken. Dessert was over cooked. Drinks are great. Service is whatever, the person that served us had weird energy and no warmth. She almost seemed bothered to be working there. It's always max capacity and ridiculously loud, think loud dance club. I appreciate there being a dedicated gluten free finer dining place in the pdx area.

Marilyn worked with me to make a 60th Birthday cake for my wife. She was easy and fun to work with giving me the back story of POC and her years as a teacher. In short, we made an easy connection and Marilyn did every thing she could to make me a happy customer. While on the more expensive side, it's hard to find quality GF and DF offering that taste as good as POC's red velvet cake tastes. Our group agreed the cake was OUTSTANDING! "No way this can be gluten and dairy free?!" For a special occasion, consider paying a little extra for a dessert that delivers.

Very allergin friendly. Loved being able to enjoy a waffle cone that was gluten free.

Brianna Miller

Wow. Just wow. The cheesecakes and other desserts here are incredible. I recently had to cut gluten, dairy, and sugar out of my diet, and I was pretty certain I would never get to have a sweet treat ever again. I tried a filled box of Tiny Moreso's gluten free, vegan, and sugar free treats and I'm so glad I drove across town to see if it was worth it. The cheesecake is SILKY SMOOTH. Like you wouldn't know it's not dairy (except that you have no mucous coating the back of your throat afterward). The cookies are sweet and delicious with a hint of earthy on the back bite and so well balanced. The brownie has a frosting on top that reminded me of a homemade 7 minute frosting recipe. It was all SO good and I only tried the items with no added sugar in them. I'm so relieved I can have a sweet treat again! MAKE THE DRIVE - You won't regret it!

Gluten Free Waffle Cones FUREAL

We love Dick's! 😂😅 For real, though. The food is good and quality ingredients. They are super accommodating to dietary needs. Great for keto, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and everything in between. The staff is always super nice. It's a little loud in the space, but not many places that aren't these days. They have a great space for gathering groups. Their water stations are plumbed instead of just jugs, which can get gross if not cleaned often. Just genuinely one of our favorite places to go since we have various dietary issues that our family has to accommodate.

I LOVE HARLOW! As someone with celiac disease, it's such peace of mind to know everything here is safe and very flavorful! I love the Outlaw scramble so much! The portion sizes are generous and I have yet to be disappointed. I've been ordering at Harlow for years now, and when my vegan friends and I need a place to accommodate all our diets this is the go-to! Thanks, Harlow!

Tracee Loves Muzik

The service is great, everyone is friendly and knowledgeable! Their food could be really great if it wasn't hit or miss. The pork egg rolls with fresh cilantro are *delicious*, but they are consistently overcooked, despite asking them pull them out of the frier sooner. All in all, it's a solid place with good gluten-free food and friendly service. However, it does seem to be a bit overpriced at times.

Chris

Good place to have sweet gluten free treats while in Portland. The inside of the place is cool as well. Thanks!

I was shocked to see that there weren't 100% 5 stars on this place...! It is our favorite place in town-- for edible! We leave in deep NE Portland and drive all the way out for the goodies. I am allergic to gluten, soy, and dairy, and not only can I have basically everything in The store, I haven't had anything like it since realizing I had allergies (over a decade ago). Hands down beats Petunia's or G.E.M. or any of the other alternative bakeries. My partner eats all the things, and still will get a bunch for herself. We had Sinful Confections for our wedding, and no one had any idea it was gluten/soy/dairy free-- and people thought it was amazing! Anyway, if you haven't tried them-- do it!

I have been enjoying Harlow's food for 10 years, being celiac I've always loved knowing I could count on their food for a safe and enjoyable meal. Unfortunately in the last handful of months the service and food has gone downhill so significantly. We've given feedback to the manager and continued going back because we love supporting our local restaurants but after tonights meal it's just beyond frustrating. You can't count on the food being the same each time you order anymore, sometimes the veggies are almost raw, sometimes they're cooked. Sometimes the food has flavor, other times it's so bland. This evening we both ordered the soup and it was so salty neither my partner or I could eat it. The staff gives the feeling of complete apathy one way or another. I know the service industry is getting slammed right now but it's such a bummer that they've gone down hill so significantly.

Great gluten-free pasta!

Jonny Plumb

Impressed with the food, service, and the abundance of gluten free options for fried foods. Highly recommended.

Lexy Valentine

My husband and I are living in Portland temporarily for his job. When we had family visit we found this place which was able to accommodate all diets (gluten free, vegetarian, etc) and be absolutely delicious. Ever since then this is my husband and i’s go to spot for breakfast/brunch. They also have the best homemade raspberry jam you can buy and amazing biscuits.

Alex Rodriguez

Gluten free fried mozzarella. Was insane. Never would have guessed it was gf if the menu didn’t say it. Chicken parm and bolognese were top notch as well

Ami Baio

Love to be able to eat vegan and gluten free at Bamboo! Highly recommend!

Sara Pomeroy

Where do I begin… Absolutely the best of the best of the best!!! I have never experienced better service anywhere than I do at this shop. Everyone who works there is so kind and helpful. The owner, Melissa, is such a sweetheart — you can feel the love she puts into her handmade truffles. I love that everything is gluten free and vegan. I never have to worry about gifting to friends or clients. I have so many favorites; from the whiskey truffles to chocolate covered potato chips … can’t get enough. Oh —and the free full size samples!! I mean really!? The generosity there is beyond. Customer for life!!

Sheldon French

I planned a delightful surprise for my wife's birthday weekend by making reservations at this incredible spot! Considering her gluten intolerance and her love for sushi, it was the perfect choice—plus, it was just a short stroll from our hotel. The menu was not only extensive but bursting with flavor, offering something for every palate. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, truly enhancing our dining experience. Overall, we had an amazing time with top-notch service that made the evening unforgettable!

Nudi is one of our favorite restaurants. We just went on 2/7 and had a great time. The food is always amazing, and the service has been friendly. It's a more relaxed atmosphere so they don't run on a tight schedule like other restaurants, so expect to just go with the flow. We've been probably 10 or more times in the last year and have never been disappointed. Tu (I think that's the correct spelling) is an absolute delight and will upsell the specials and cocktails with silly teasing (which we've found fun - not disrespectful) but whenever we've accepted, we've been happy we did (lobster pad thai means a whole lobster next to your noodles and you will have to work for it lol). We eat mostly gluten free and have been with seriously gluten free friends and have never had an issue finding something for everyone. Their staples are always amazing for the less adventurous eaters (the short ribs, jap chae, ramen, pad kee mao, pad see lew, pad thai, holy basil fried rice).

Guy Rien

Food was good. Nothing fancy but well done. But the service. Firstly we ordered a gluten free pizza (+$7) but was bought a regular crust. Very dangerous. And not a hint of apology but instead "I didn't take your order". The entire crew seemed to be very self- untitled

Eva Varaksa

High customer service, great food and amazing atmosphere. Gluten free friendly!

Roy

Wide variety of gluten free pastas. Had a great time here while visiting Portland, came back multiple times.

Bella P.

Very beautiful location! I got a salad and a gluten free black forest cake---both very delicious. Fair prices for the food, and great for the high quality and taste of the items. Staff was very friendly, lots of sitting room, pretty environment and very clean.

Lana Ferris

The crepes are delicious and have been very safe for me even as someone who is a very sensitive celiac.

Susan Martinson

They were able to get us a table in 15 minutes. The service was so friendly and helpful, especially on a busy Christmas weekend. Our food was amazing. My Croque Monsier (ham, gruyere, dijoninaise, grilled parmesan-crusted broche bread) was scrumptious. Our daughter, who is gluten-free, went with the Salmom Apple Salad (pan seared king salmon, mixed greens, gala apples, honey roasted pecans, fontina cheese, pomegranate, pumpkin seads, and apple maple vinegrette dressing) She said it was the best Salad she has ever had! My husband had the BBQ Brisket Sandwich (braised and smoked beef brisket, chipotle, clowslaw, grand central brioche bum, with fries) he ate the whole thing! It was delicious. We shouldn't have, but we did have dessert. They shared the Cre'meux for two (flourless chocolate torte with toasted Italian meringue) and I had the Cherry Bomb ( chocolate cake, liquor soaked cherry center, chocolate glaze) with a cup of their home made Caramel ice cream. These were absolutely sinfully yummy! Definitely make a stop here. We will for sure!

Ren Prince

Truly delightful! Everything we ordered was beautifully cooked and so flavorful. I would highly recommend the espresso with sweetened condensed milk - such a tasty treat! Also had some good gluten free options.

Kate Kim

This bakery has great gluten free options. Their Macarons are some of the best I’ve ever had. The vanilla tastes like vanilla ice cream.

Silvina Wischrath

First time for us in Portland and our waiter Austen was super kind and had some good food recommendations. It was the perfect choice for us. The pizza and the pasta (gluten-free) were homemade and absolutely awesome! Absolutely worth a visit!

Amanda Schaffer

This is such a cute coffee spot! On top of that, their gluten-free cheesecake looks like a cat and tastes amazing. The latte art is top notch, and the vibe inside is adorable yet chic. Highly recommend this spot for a nice coffee and snack!

susan stier

I want to love this place but don’t be fooled by gluten free menu designations. I got hit with gluten hard. I had them check with the chef but got hit anyway. Afterwards I checked their status on find me gluten free and sure enough many have had this same issue.

Niko Zuellos

If you like good gluten, this is the place for you

Libby MW

We use waffle window fairly regularly for excellent "Sweet Waffle Bar" for breakfast meetings- A ton of great food and everyone can make fancy waffles with the toppings they pick! Added bonus of gluten free and vegan waffle options so everyone is included. Bruce had delivered every time for us and is quick to set everything up and always friendly- even super early in the morning!

Tiffany Woods

Love that they clearly show which items are gluten free, dairy free, vegan

Nik Dax

Absolutely the best bagels ever! The plain bagel with sea salt and the pumpernickel are my favorite. They make a mean breakfast sandwich with a lot of cheese and decent meat selection including pastrami and roast beef. They usually have gluten free and vegan options for cookies and bars as well that aren't bad at all. Not the best place to hang out and eat in, but definitely good for a quick bite. Very busy on Saturday mornings- be prepared to wait s few extra minutes.

Kelsey Leonard

They’re explicit about which flavors are gluten free and when I asked about their prepping in the kitchen they said equipment is always cleaned between flavors. My celiac friend and I (also celiac but no symptoms compared to her) had no problem!
