Top 31 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Baltimore

Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying for dessert too - butter chicken was fire, and that gluten-free cupcake? Unreal. Definitely coming back.

Excellent food and desserts. Entirely vegan and gluten free. Very friendly staff and cute location.

Christine Thielman

Wonderful server, delicious food, safe for my daughter with celiac. Really a treasure of a place.

Abriel Mauerman

Went off the reviews others left about the gluten-free crust. As someone with celiac, quality GF options are far and few, and this place is now on that list. Yall, the crust is really that good! You don't feel like you're missing out just because you have to eat gluten free! You can order to-go and not get the first and third course.

The Corner Pantry is a Baltimore gem with thoughtfully curated and creative selections and amazing gluten free breads and pastries. Everything on the menu from coffee to savory to sweet options simultaneously evoke comfort and decadence. Their holiday pies are also a staple for my family's festive menus, and whenever I visit, the staff is warm and inviting. On days when you need a little extra joy in your life, I highly recommend visiting TCP!

Cozy Spot with Great Food and Vibes Loved my visit to Golden West Cafe! I had a hot chai latte that really hit the spot, and the High Mesa polenta with chorizo and an egg over easy was delicious. They were super accommodating with my gluten-free needs and brought out corn tortillas without me even asking. The vibe is laid back and comfy—perfect for a relaxing meal. I’ll definitely be back!

I don’t eat gluten or dairy and assumed I’d once again be stuck eating nothing but fruit and bacon, but boy was I wrong! The menu is carefully labeled for the most common allergens, and I had plenty of safe options to choose from! I got the gluten free cinnamon danish pancakes with strawberries instead of the icing drizzle. GF pancakes aren’t usually the tastiest, but I took a chance. Especially since the waitress said they’re even tastier with the cinnamon danish stuff (which is IN the batter), so I took her advice. And OMG, they were delicious!!! Also, a manager came out to check about allergens- apparently the griddle they use for the GF pancakes is completely GF, but they do make chocolate chip GF pancakes so there’s some risk of dairy cross-contact. That’s ok for me, but I was really impressed and grateful she checked. And I think she said the whole kitchen is nut-free, which is pretty cool. My kiddo loved his (full-of-gluten-and-dairy) waffles, and we both really enjoyed our fancy mocktails. All in all, I’m very impressed, and I was so grateful we could safely (and deliciously!) partake in this very quintessential Baltimore institution!

We had a great experience here. My wife is gluten free and finding accomodating restaurants can be challenging. The food was excellent. The service and atmosphere was warm and inviting. We will certainly be back

Cypriana was terrific. We had a birthday person with us and they made it special (see Picts), the food was great. Specifically the chef’s hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had! Seriously, I could’ve eaten that alone and been happy. The branzino with lemon was excellent and light. The chicken with lemon potatoes was perfect for my kid, the grilled octopus was nice and tender-had a slight Smokey taste and the portion size was enormous. The grilled eggplant was another lovely dish, although that reduced balsamic drizzle on top was so delish I could’ve used more! The had a gluten free pita which was excellent, and the wood roasted olives was a “to taste” item. I did not care for it but the rest of the table loved it. The service was great, drinks were generous. We had a very good time and will be back!

I’ve been wanting to try Alma Cocina Latina since I moved to the area and last night I was finally able to! 5/25/25. Thank you to Kanae, Mauricio, and Kez! You guys made a great impression and a wonderful experience in addition to a great meal 💜 Shout out to the chefs and line cooks. I can tell that these dishes are carefully thought out and curated. Everything I ate was delicious. Since it was my first visit, and was excited to see so many gluten free items, I wanted to try different dishes! Also, Punch like a lady was soooo good and compliments the food well! I’m a line cook myself and I don’t get to have food cooked for me often, so anytime I’m able to, it’s greatly appreciated. I will be returning, Thank you!

Best chicken fajitas ever and really yummy gluten free options! As a celiac, I have never gotten sick from here in the last 2 years I’ve eaten there!

Gabrielle Rodriguez

Always impressed by the fresh and creative weekly specials! The staff is incredibly friendly and well-versed in dietary restrictions… there’s no shortage of delicious gluten-free options! Mark is the friendliest bartender 🍷, and Luca is a thoughtful owner who ensures every visit outshines the last. A true neighborhood gem! 💎

Christina Young

Food was delicious. Loved that they could offer gluten free options.

Abriel Mauerman

If you have celiac disease, you can feel safe eating here. A manager will come and talk to you and communicate your allergies and concerns with a chef so you can get what you want. Im usually just concerned with gluten and tree nuts, but they will take anything you have into consideration. And the GF bread options for their sandwiches are awesome. AND and, the hash browns and grits are GF! That's rare.

Heather McCabe

Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had.

Vanessa Douyon

Best Gluten Free Pizza I’ve eaten

Sadie Marks

Mindpub is home away from home. The food is amazing (especially the gluten free which honestly is so good, it’s hard to find gluten free in Federal hill that isn’t insanely expensive for no reason) the staff are great and know a lot - especially when asking for different recommendations. Coffee is locally roasted down the street! If I moved away - I would ALWAYS make sure to come here first when I visit

Janeth Mora

We visited Baltimore this weekend and had lunch @ Philips, it was a great experience especially thanks to Ruslan’s service, I have dietary restrictions due to celiac disease and he was very supportive of my need and everything was good, no issues with food Food was tasty and had good quality, we sat outside as the weather was very nice and very enjoyable

Chris Plummer

Ciara took great care of our table, Steven made sure everything was right, good gluten-free options and atmosphere

V Iannacone

Got the beet salad which had a fabulous lemon dressing, and falafel. My husband got the bronzino and our meals were fabulous. I appreciated our server bringing out gluten free crackers with the pita, since I can't eat gluten. Our server was Alex I and he was sweet, accommodating, and attentive. Will definitely come here again.

Candace Anderson

I have celiac disease, so finding a restaurant with safe and delicious gluten-free options is always a challenge. I'm thrilled to say that Sobo Cafe has exceeded my expectations every time. Their gluten-free entrées are amazing, and most importantly, I've never gotten sick here. My partner and I went on our first date here back in December, and we've returned twice since then. Tonight was wine Wednesday $25 a bottle. Each visit has been fantastic, from the attentive service to the flavorful dishes. Sobo Cafe is a gem for anyone looking for reliable and tasty gluten-free dining. Highly recommended!

Michael Petrone

They have excellent gluten-free Pizza. Was there last night and we ordered two pizzas, forget to mention we needed gluten free. So they had to make two more and were really cool about not charging extra pizzas we couldn’t eat. It’s also a very beautiful space.

Gina Ciardi

Always receive great service. Love that there is a gluten free alternative pizza crust 🍕

My friends catered Ekiben for their engagement party with around 30 people. I really loved that everything is gluten free (at least that we ordered), and the fried chicken was absolutely delicious. We had plenty leftover, too! My coworkers used to order here for pickup all the time as well, so even though I’ve never been inside the restaurant I’ve loved their food and strongly recommend you try it!

Nicole Gamse

I live nearby and frequent Zella’s very regularly. Their pies absolutely do not disappoint! Cheese is always excellent. Two or three crusts to choose from (including cauliflower and gluten free crusts) and many topping choices. Their bar is great, with draft beers, plenty of wine, and other beers/etc in the coolers. Bartenders are always friendly and engaging, and actually aware of neighborhood events! Baran, Rasul, and Luis are my favorites! The St. Magnus is my current favorite pizza! It’s so much deliciousness into one amazing meat salad 😂

Eric Smith

Gluten free** Food is always of an amazing quality that will keep you coming back. Gluten free options are very limited, which is an obnoxious truth to believe given the effort that is put into every other aspect of the restaurant. Hate to see the quality and time given to creating a fantastic must-visit location that won't go all the way to accommodate the dietary restrictions they already offer.

V Iannacone

So hard to find vegan with gluten free options. Eating out I usually have to just get a salad, but here I was able to get an appetizer, dinner, and dessert!! I got the lemon risotto with chicken and my husband got the blackened fettuccine with chicken. It was soooooo good. The white sangria was awesome. Service was great and their recommendations were on point.

Erin McCarthy

We went here for breakfast on a whim and we were truly pleasantly surprised! It's a cozy little cafe downtown with a varied menu including lots of gluten free options. Our servers were SO NICE, I cannot overstate this. The food was also amazing. Definitely check it out!

Never heard of this place but went here yesterday and oh my God, an awesome experience! I will definitely be bringing visitors of Baltimore here! First off the service was fantastic. The only person working there was a guy who was super funny and friendly and had incredible customer service. I would go again just to experience him lol! Second, it’s BYOB, and they also have wine glasses out for you that you can use if you bring wine. But best of all, the pizza was so damn good!! my friend is gluten-free and he wanted to share my pizza so I also got a gluten-free crust and it was actually one of the best pizza crusts I’ve ever had. I have to go again sometime to try the normal crust, but I loved the gluten free crust so much that I might not even switch it up. The toppings were so good, the sauce was flavorful, and (back to the customer service) I was able to change a couple of the toppings at no extra charge, which was so awesome. Furthermore, my friend’s pizza kind of got messed up on 1/2 of it, so when it came out, we only got half of his pizza, but then the person working brought him an entire whole pizza to make up for having only getting 1/2. You really can’t find that kind of customer service everywhere. and we didn’t even ask for that!

Best ice cream in the city, period! Owner makes all flavors himself, sweetened with dates, gluten and soy-free. This is our new fave spot in the city for ice cream

After an afternoon of axe throwing, my wife and I were looking for a place with great food and gluten-free options, and Carrabba's exceeded our expectations. Our server was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food arrived remarkably fast, just 5 to 10 minutes after we ordered, and everything was cooked to perfection. It was clear that the kitchen staff took pride in their work. What truly stood out was when the chefs themselves came to our table to personally ensure that our meals were perfect - a truly exceptional touch! The atmosphere was wonderfully laid-back, with decent music creating a relaxing ambiance. And to top it all off, we were able to take home a delicious to-go order for only $10 thanks to a special they were running. Overall, a 5-star experience from start to finish.

Yummy and wonderful service. And their gluten free pasta is phenomenal.

John Bush

Amazing food. We were in town on vacation and stopped here in part for the great gluten free reviews. My wife has celiac disease and is very susceptible to contamination. She had absolutely no issues and all the food was incredible. Highly recommend!

nice casual place for drinks and food, id say food is solid and reliable but not like super spectacular. crab soup is whack, burgers are good, not a smash burger place. its somewhere youd go regularly. great for gluten free folks. brunch is nice too, and their mimosas are good for groups. fav drinks are the jackrabbit and the crush with less simple syrup.

I ordered 6 burgers, and 4 fries. 3 of those burgers were BYOB. There was not 1 mistake. The gluten free bun was crumbly but good! We tried the garlic fries, which were delicious, and the poutine fries with the brisket. The brisket was not as amazing as the burgers and fries. We really liked the truffle mayo though and the chipotle mayo. The sriracha mayo was okay but not as flavorful as the truffle and the chipotle. The kids (4 of them) gave their burgers scores from 5 -10. The lowest score was because she ran out of bun. She had the burger with the egg on it. She ate most of it and she is not one who normally finishes an adult burger so I believe she was just being picky. Overall, the rate at which my children ate their burgers makes me feel they loved their burger as much as I did. I think I liked my burger with a gluten free bun better than Abby Burger. So, with that said this would be my new favorite burger in Baltimore and burgers are my thing.

Erica Reaves

Baby's on Fire is a Mt. Vernon neighborhood gem! The staff are kind and attentive. I am especially appreciative to have gluten-free options, including the breakfast sandwiches! Thank you for changing gloves and the cutting board to avoid cross-contamination. Also, I love their Community Card Program that provides meals and drinks to our unhoused and/or hungry neighbors. This is a special place.

Marie Aliese

Gluten-free pasta gets overcooked which is why I specifically asked for “al dente” and I got a mushy mess instead

Hailey

They have gluten free bread! Loved the hashbrowns and fruit bowl.

Crab cakes are the incredible and gluten free! A never miss experience
