Top 27 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens Across Rhode Island

Liz Purvis

We were in the area and looking for somewhere tasty to go for lunch, and after seeing the reviews, we decided we wanted to come to blackies! Even though we were a walk in, they were able to accommodate us and accommodate us, they did. Most of the menu can be made GF, and there are pages, upon pages to this menu. Not only did I enjoy my meal (I got the French Onion Cheesesteak with Fries and it was SUPERB 🤌🏽), but my gluten eating family also had a meal. My Dad even said it was the BEST Ruben he's ever had (and he loves a ruben). Since it was our first time there, our wonderful server was able to field all of my GF/Celiac-related questions with ease. The restaurant is owned by two lovely women: one of whom has Celiac. They have dedicated fryers, AND they have separate kitchen tools (knives, utensils, cutting boards, aprons, etc.) for the preparation of GF meals. On top of all that, my food was brought out FIRST and SEPARATELY. Our server even brought out a new bottle of ketchup with my food so that there wasn't any CC. I felt so well taken care of by the staff, and so safe while we were there, it was a new level of Celiac-care in this dining experience. I cannot more highly recommend blackies if you're ever in RI/Providence!!!

100% dedicated gluten free. Local family with Italian roots, also has some dairy free. Cookies, cupcakes, fried donuts, assorted bread and rolls.

Rachael Kelly

Great (gluten free!) food, great atmosphere, and even better bartender! Max’s service was 10/10 and he makes a killer aperol spritz. We will definitely be back!

This was the best dining experience I have had in a long time. Since being diagnosed with Celiac, it is really hard to enjoy eating out without fear of “being glutened”. After reading tons of reviews and the allergy safety protocols on their website, we decided to give this place a shot. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with nothing but assurance and the staff were so incredibly kind. There is a food safety coordinator certificate on the hostess stand that is also really impressive. On OpenTable you can say if you’re celebrating something at the time of your reservation, and while I have filled this out before, no restaurant has ever acknowledged it. I mentioned in my reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary and as soon as we walked in the Food Safety coordinator who I also think is the owner told us happy anniversary, followed by the woman who walked us to our table and our waitress. At the end of our meal we were gifted a surprise gluten free crème brûlée with a candle in it! It was just the most special night with the most incredible food. Everyone was so kind. I can’t sing their praises enough.

Great service and extensive Gluten Free Menu - even desserts!

Extremely good vegan and gluten free desserts. The Samoa oatbar is a 10/10 and if it ever disappears I'll likely not survive without it. Its so good, some weeks I get it multiples times! Very friendly customer service too.

I had an incredible lunch here yesterday! I was pretty nervous since I haven't had pizza from a restaurant since my Celiac Disease diagnosis 4.5 years ago, but our server John was fantastic. He answered all my questions, double checked things when I asked, and put me totally at ease. He reassured me they take allergens very seriously, including a separate prep area AND a separate oven for GF pizzas! I had a 1/2 pesto margherita and 1/2 chicken bacon ranch pizza, both sides were equally delicious.

Allie Bartlett

We had Toni, and if you want an amazing, relatable waitress that will go above and beyond for you every step of the way, REQUEST TONI. This is my go-to gluten free and allergen-safe restaurant. Did I mention that the ENTIRE MENU can be made gluten free? THANK YOU TONI AND 110 GRILL for the best birthday! We WILL be back and requesting TONI. <3

Tree Ferran

Had a great quick lunch at Drift. Gluten free options and allergy accommodation. Highly recommend “island time”!

Chad Wetmore

Wow! The staff at this bakery is incredibly friendly and polite. The store itself is spotless and well-maintained. I tried the Cupcake of the Day, which was a Pineapple Dolewhip flavor, and it was absolutely delicious. It tasted like summer in a cupcake! They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, including gluten-free options. I will definitely be returning to try more of their cupcakes.

Kavinda Arthenayake

First time and ice cream is delicious and the service is incredible! They also have gluten free ice cream! Amazing!

Kathy Danis

Nearly all items on the extensive menu can be made gluten free. I had fish and chips! Which was excellent. The fish was so fresh and tender, the chips were chip/French fries. I also got a little loaf of gluten free bread! Also amazing with the cinnamon maple butter. And if you are so fortunate enough to have the server Julianne, your whole experience will be made better. You will leave feeling happier and know she truly cared about your food and dining experience. Her knowledge about gluten free food, caring attitude and willingness to go above and beyond should well be noted. I love, love love everything about this restaurant and can't wait to go back, and hope that Julianne will be working. A++++

Alexa Roos

Saturday we called with a last minute request for a gluten free chocolate torte and gluten free cannoli for Sunday. We also got gluten free lemon bars. Everything was ready by noon, absolutely delicious, and reasonably priced. I never leave reviews but was so impressed in every way by Carolinas!

D Williams

Went to The Beach Rose Cafe for a meeting, and employees Paula and Brooke were amazing. They have great customer service and made you feel at home. They prepared the food in a timely manner and it was like eating home! ( GREAT TASTE AND PORTION). They give healthy options for food such Gluten Free and clean protein shakes. We'll definitely come again!!!!🎊🤙🏽

Thales Da Riva

Delicious food and coffees, love the Gluten-free options

Peter Hill

This is a favourite of mine for after kayaking. I avoid gluten and dairy, so I am quiet pleased with the selection of gluten-free vegan muffins. Great coffee too!

S L

This place is such a hidden gem!!! I stumbled in after my intended coffee shop down the street was too crowded, and boy am i glad I did. Shastea offers a wide range of customizable teas, with seemingly myriad flavors, caffeine levels, and tea types - white, green, herbal, etc - to choose from. There was also a great selection of sweet and savory crepes which could be made gluten free!! I had the loveliest morning sipping my herbal latte, snacking on a guava crepe, and doing some work in the quiet back room. A great place to study - I will definitely be returning!

Debra Duquette

Tasty vegan food, with options for gluten free. I'd love to see them offer more low/no carb options. The food I got was delicious. The Miso Soup was amazing.

Danielle Harbour

Felicia was an outstanding waitress. She was very knowledgeable on gluten-free options. Very attentive with our table as well. She was honestly one of the best servers we’ve ever had. The food was excellent! Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. My husband loved the cod sandwich and calamari. The atmosphere has a great vibe and beautiful views. We will definitely be back.

Eddie L

Definitely one of the top places on BI FOOD - the food is great and especially good breakfast place. Well known for their very cool toast varieties. Ciabatta, sourdough are really good. Bakery items are excellent, everyday is different pastries muffins and things and they are really good. MENU - this is an excellent menu that has a lot of variety for drinks and food. You can get smoothie or bowls, toast, coffee, sandwiches. Very good with Customizations. A lot of VEGAN / GLUTEN FREE options. SERVICE - the service here is amazing. They do get busy but if you see a line don’t be worried because it moves fast. They are very friendly and helpful. They take great caution with allergies. Tomaso is absolutely great!! ATMOSPHERE/LOCATION - definitely has that LOCAL VIBE but also are up to date on trends off the island. Outside seating very cool area and some lounge style seating as well. I will say it’s a little tight at times because they are busy. Parking can be tricky.

They have a dedicated toaster, gluten free bread and bagels, gluten free granola for açaí bowls!

Tara Ducharme

They have a gluten friendly menu, but as a highly sensitive celiac, I’ve never had an issue. They even can make gluten free pancakes and sometimes will offer gluten free muffins. The only place we go for breakfast.

Went here for dinner this past week and it was amazing! I was craving ramen and my cousin said she knew a place and this is where we ended up. We went on a Thursday night around 6:30 and were sat immediately as we (three of us total) walked through the door which was awesome! Atmosphere: It is a very cozy environment, which I think was perfect. It definitely gave date night, or out with your friends vibes. It is pretty dim lighting which is great, especially for those who get overstimulated with bright overhead light. It was not loud at all and was easy to have conversation at our table. Service: Our server was really kind! I don't remember their name, but they had darker hair, with glasses and was super sweet and attentive the entire night! Food: I ordered the miso ramen, and my cousins ordered the veggie and chicken ramens. All of us were obsessed with how good it was. There is a large variety on the menu and something for everyone, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. Favorite part of the ramen was the egg, which I know sounds odd to point out but they're SOOOOOOO good. Overall, I can't wait to go back and bring my friends visiting from out of town!

Alyssa Harder

Incredibly nice people and such a great gluten free menu! I got the Ultimate Grinder and their gluten free clam chowder. The staff was knowledgeable about gluten. They even had gluten free cookies available but opted for the bowl of chowder instead. We also order the regular Ultimate Grinder which also looked incredible

Janet Houle

Atmosphere was absurdly gorgeous 😍. Loved every minute of it! We sat outside and by one of the fires 🔥! The best of both worlds. They do alot for gluten free people.

Beautiful

If you want absolutely incredible and kind service, ask for Tiffany D!!! She’s amazing! Even gave me tips on how to expand my food options while staying gluten free. Tiffany D is the BEST SERVER EVER!!!!

Max Yarmolinsky

Highly recommend. Personally, I love the rice and beans, plantains, gluten free cheese bread, salad and coleslaw, potatoes and chicken and beef. Try the green lasagna too, it’s amazing! THE place to go in Coventry!!

Lauren D

I don't often write reviews but this cafe is fantastic. Such an aesthetic and gorgeous place, the food is EXCELLENT and so happy they had gluten-free breads/wraps. They made sure our orders were perfect and I would like to go back there every day!

Eileen Buser

We had a delicious dinner at Leo’s this evening. The veal parm was off the charts, and the gluten free pizza was the best I’ve ever had. Wine, service, quality of food and ambiance will have us coming back soon.

Morty Ditchtroll

Visited today for the first time. It was a lunchtime visit. The service was excellent as was the food! It was great that my wife had gluten free options. It really was a cool place to eat. We will definitely visit again. Mike

Mandy Ellis

Food was wonderful! Gluten free options excellent !

Katarina Ferrucci

My partner who has celiac disease once spoke with the owner and either their partner or a family member also has celiacs. According to my partner the ham and Asiago scone is amazing, as are the muffins and Portuguese rolls for breakfast sandwiches are chefs kiss. We have also ordered gluten free cakes from them for holidays and people who don’t eat GF said they were amazing and they couldn’t tell they were GF.

Anna Hardesty

Sin absolutely outdid themselves with our wedding cake! Delicious, beautiful, and with half gluten free and half vegan. I was so blow away by the taste I was begging for their secrets. If you want a delicious wedding cake that fits all your dietary needs, look no further!

AE LS

Employees are always super friendly and kind. Ice cream is the best on the island in my opinion. Food is amazing. Always has a lot of gluten free options even in baked goods! 10/10 would recommend.

Emy Moore

100% gluten free store with great empanadas

Patricia Adams

Great ice cream! Huge variety of flavors. Many are gluten free. They have GF cones too. Friendly service!

Scott Phillips

So many great options. Can be made Gluten free. Very delicious.

Cynthia Lam

Spent $ 19 on a sandwich.$extra for gluten-free bread. -It came with no chips and a gross floppy pickle. The iced Chai was so sickening sweet and milky that I almost couldn't drink it. They need an update in the dining room old sticky outdated furniture.

Sue and her team at Awesome Sweets did an incredible job on our wedding cake! We had gotten a fun birthday cake from them in the past so already had a good opinion going in, but we were completely blown away! We had a very ambitious design in mind; a three tiered cake decorated with sculpted buttercream icing, fondant drapery, two different fillings, a fresh fruit and edible flower decor, all big enough to feed a hundred or so people. We also wanted a matching gluten-, egg-, and dairy-free cupcake bouquet for the folks in our wedding with allergies. Sue was incredible every step of the way. She walked us through each decision we needed to make on the taste and presentation, from the flavor of frosting and filling, to the tier size, offset, and position of the decor to best present the fondant folds. The only item we were asked to provide was the flowers, and there are many sites that will ship to any address in the US so it was easy for us to accomplish. We got edible roses, carnations, and herb blossoms (and took the opportunity to stock up for our bartenders signature drinks as well). The cake was delivered on time and looked absolutely stunning. The cupcakes were included as well, and made to specification with no allergens. We got so many compliments on how beautiful it all looked, and as many on how great it tasted! Everything was delicious, including the allergen-free cupcakes. Our only regret is it was all eaten, so we’ll just have to go back and get another (Non-wedding!) cake soon. Five stars all the way!

Michelle Stomski

Sift makes the most DELICIOUS gluten-free/vegan chocolate chip and ginger molasses cookies! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Lori Smulling

Fantastic cow art, the best gluten-free sugar cones ( tasted great and didn't leak!), nice rewards program - all pluses. The ice cream flavors I tried were subtle, creamy premium ice cream that was blessedly not prone to dripping.

Eileen stafford

Very good Italian food. I had Veal Scallopini, my daughter had gluten free Bolognese, they were both delicious. We also had dessert that was very good and light. The waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about everything we asked. Really nice place to enjoy a good meal.

Jeily Mendez

No allergen menu available. No gluten free ice cream available. Disappointed.
