Top 19 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots in Historic District, Olympia

This was the first time we went to this restaurant and I can’t tell you how lovely the experience was. The energy was calm and soothing, the music old cafe jazz, you could almost feel like you were in a French bistro hole in the wall except for all the Americana pics covering the walls. It felt like coming home. As a person with celiac there are precious few spaces that aren’t dedicated gluten free that are actually safe for us. This is just such a place. We will be going back regularly. Also, lest I forget, both my husband and myself had the Cascadia burger. I had the one patty because 2 is too much, OMG was this ever juicy - and fries!!! I could order great fries without worry 🥰 It was perfect. Thank you to whoever you are who put this place together. I felt cared for.

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not one I can trust for a gluten free meal, even though they do offer gluten free options. I told the server that I am celiac, and she assured me that the gluten free pasta is prepared separately and not cross contaminated. This is the important part--the pasta they served me was NOT GLUTEN FREE! I thought it didn't look as described in the menu (for the gluten free pasta), so thank goodness I questioned it BEFORE I ate it! They gave me regular pasta. It would have sickened me for days if I had eaten it. Celiac disease is serious, and any amount of gluten can cause damage to the lining of your intestines, not to mention just the side effects for the days following. No apologies were offered by the server and our service was very poor overall. No checking on us, water refills, etc. I am leaving this review to encourage others with celiac or gluten sensitivity to be extra cautious. I will not return. In addition, our party of 4 was cold (we ate with our coats on), again, no one checked on us for anything, we were there for 2 hours, and everyone else felt that their food was underwhelming. There wasn't one thing about the experience that would encourage any of us to return.

🍕 The Pizza was great and the Retro Vibe. Great place to stop in before 80s party or a 1980s era movie! Healthy meal options Gluten-free pizza crust.

I have celiac and come here often and it’s always fantastic. Great food, service and ambiance. Never had any issues!

Gregory Eckroth

Any chance I get to eat here, I do. My wife is gluten free vegan and there’s abundant choices for her. I really flat out love the food, I have yet to have a bad meal here. Everything tastes awesome and unique. Yeah, it’s a little expensive… but so is everything else out there. Highly recommend!

Exceptional yellow curry. Giant plus that it is also gluten free. Will definitely be back

Jason Taylor

Their vegan pizza is the worst I've ever had. The only vegan option came with a gluten-free crust that was practically inedible.

Jessica Garcia

The food, the service, the atmosphere... absolutely fantastic! I would rate this place more than 5 stars if I could! They have outstanding food, and the gluten free options are plentiful. I will definitely be back, and have also already recommended this place to several of my friends!

If you’re looking for a place to grab the most fantastic brunch in town, you’ve found it! The chef puts together a seasonal menu that is definitely outside the box and very fresh! Lots of amazingly delicious gluten free options.

I have ordered to go twice from here now. Both dishes have been excellent. First time I had the clear noodles, they were good. Second time I had the Narai fried rice, serving size was very generous and it had good flavor. I ordered both dishes gluten free, they're very accommodating about it. Wife had the clear noodles not gluten free and said it had amazing flavor.

Local small business with a decent variety, lots of vegetarian/vegan options and gluten-free options are noted on the menu. I prefer my sweet potato fries a bit more crispy, and it was a little pricey, but the chimchurri chicken tacos were amazing.

Amazing clam chowder!! They were able to make a gluten free clam chowder as well that was absolutely delicious!!

This was my first time here. I may return but my expectations aren't too high. The group I was with was satisfied with their meals, especially the beignets. They did look very tasty! That being said, I have celiac and am limited in food choices. The person who planned this event chose Octapas because they had gluten free options. Actually there were 2 options. One was huevos rancheros, that is what I chose, hard to mess it up. Boy was I wrong. The good first, the eggs were perfectly cooked and the few bits of cheese were authentic. The not so good, my plate and meal were cold, the beans were strained before putting them on the plate so now were dry(and cold), I swear the sauce - which should be a ranchero sauce with a flavorful Chile taste and aroma- came right out of a can labeled tomato paste. It had some dried green herbs sprinkled on it... and did I mention it was cold. There was no rice or potatoes - as is customary with huevos rancheros. I finished it quickly but left hungry. There is another gluten free options on the menu... I may try it, hope it isn't cold. The server was very attentive and checked on us often. The atmosphere was very nice and we all appreciated the artwork on the walls.

First time trying the Pork Carnitas Tacos and I was very happy with my choice! The kitchen was able to make it gluten-free. HUGE portion, so took home lots of left over. The pork was tender and seasoned well. The sause was just the right amount of heat. The Spanish rice was good too. This was a great dish.

Dan Hinz

For best service hit them during not so busy hours. Great food. Also I'm gluten intolerant and have had good luck not getting contaminated even though not all thier menu is GF.

Austin Meadows

Really good food! Prawn al pastor tacos were excellent. Portions are fair but smaller than your typical Mexican joint - but the food is high quality, fresh, and tasty. Menu also has plenty of vegetarian options, and most menu items are gluten free or have a gluten free option.

Yelena Myakisheva

I love the concept, everything I've tried is delicious and beautifully presented. They have a few gluten free things marked on the menu, but there's more if you ask.

Amanda Hudson

The pulled pork and brisket were cooked great and had excellent flavor. The BBQ sauce is gluten free and non gmo. Flavor on the beans was really nice, just a small amount of heat. Worth the stop - be hungry, the portions are generous. Really friendly owner. Support this small business.

Love the ambiance, the food the service and gluten-free options
