Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Royal Oak

Bugs Lora has some of the best gluten free and dairy free pizza I’ve ever had. Their staff is friendly. My only complaint is that their take out service is not the same quality as their dining in. Often times, there are less toppings, toppings/cheese is not evenly spread out, and in several occasions our pizza wasn’t even cut! I hope they improve their take out!

We have dined in many times and ordered take out. Lots and lots of gluten free options! I love getting the Caesar Salad with Crispy Tenders!! They have a dedicated gluten free fryer.

Maggie Gehrlein

While they list gluten free buns on their menu, they did not have any which severely limited the dishes I could choose from.

Julia

The staff are so friendly and helpful! They have delicious gluten free pita! Note, the bowls are fairly large, but take-out boxes can be requested.

Love this place!! I have celiac and im always worried about getting sick eating out. Condados menu items are clearly marked and the staff is knowledge and attentive. Food Is great you can never go wrong (but the build your own bowls are a fav) Music and atmosphere are great Bailey at Royal Oak is an absolute doll!!!

Came to town to visit my brother and his girlfriend and they brought us here as we are Indian food lovers! This place did not disappoint. We had the vegetable korma and garlic naan, samosas and onion bhaji everything was seriously scrumptious. The staff was attentive, and friendly. Always with a big smile! Lots of vegan and gluten free options! They even have gluten free Nan which is pretty awesome as my brothers girlfriend is gluten free!

Crepes were good but quite expensive for the volume. The gluten free crepes were good.

Cute and great place for a quick bite! Keep money local by supporting local businesses. Staff are quick and awesome. Shout out to LaSia and Jeff! Food was tasty. Lots of gluten-free options, which is not always easy to come by. Will come back. Highly recommend!!

I was really pleasantly surprised at the quality of their gluten free pizza! I recall having their GF pizza a little over 5 years ago & it is wayyyyy better quality now. The GF crust they have now is fluffy & not too bread-y, it’s thin but it has crust! As in, it’s thicker than the thin crust pizza they sell AND it puffs up at the edge *almost* like a regular circular pizza. & considering how many sauces & toppings u can choose from their menu, the somewhat steep cost of add on toppings feels worth it for the promise of interesting and flavorful gluten free pizza. Plus it’s a good-sized personal pizza compared to other pizza places, but the leftover pizza does get bread-y and crumbly quick—consider reheating as opposed to eating it cold. I’m glad we gave their pizza another shot! I hope we can make it our regular place :)

Michael Horianopoulos

Very nice creamy freshly made ice cream to order. Interesting flavors and options for diary and gluten free. Super friendly owner and staff. Go there!

Paula Tobar

Sushi is always good. Most importantly, the menu items are clearly labeled for which options are GLUTEN FREE! Greatly appreciate this and it makes ordering easy. They have a gf soy sauce and the wasabi is gf as well.

Rebecca E

Got a 4 square gluten free and the dough was completely raw! I’ve had the same thing at their other locations and have never encountered this before. Ew!!

Miranda Spisak

Decided to try a new coffee shop today, and Royal Oak Roast did not disappoint! I ordered the almond joy latte and vegan gluten free almond butter bar… both were amazing! Really happy to have a new coffee shop to go to!

Dolly D

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and the gluten free options are allergy friendly which can’t be beat! Highly recommend.

Kris10

Great food! They have a lot of Gluten-Free options marked on the menu (which is super appreciated). It’s a fun little relaxed spot. The self-service makes everything quick and convenient.

Beth Kow

Safe for celiac gluten free meal options. Doesn't stink like cleaning chemicals. Friendly, educated, patient, good service. Limited parking but did alright.

Midwest Gluten free

Service was amazing. I wish I could remember the waitress name, but I let her know of my gluten allergy and she was very helpful as to what I should order. She did say the grill and equipment is shared so there will be risk of cross contamination. She said I could ordered gluten free waffles because the waffle maker has not been used yet. I had the gluten free blueberry waffles and a hot cinnamon tea which were alright and I didn’t get sick afterwards. Also please get rid of the AI pictures on the menu!

I hadn’t visited IHOP in some time, admittedly. However, I was delighted about my return. What’s nice is that they have added things to the menu such as veggie sausages and gluten free pancakes. In other words, there truly is something for everyone. At the same time, plan to pay 5.99, I believe for one veggie patty. In addition, you cannot use your app for the gluten-free pancakes. Remember all those cool syrups on the table? Although they are available, it’s not quite the same quality as it was. Overall, it was a fun and yummy experience! Know that you may spend $15-20 per grownup with drinks. Times have changed.

Great gluten free pizza!!

mariel-christine mulqueen

Excellent vegan and gluten free baked goods! Please try the vegan blueberry muffin! The atmosphere is also great for studying with plenty of comfortable seating and tables. There are plugs and there is wifi. Very ADA friendly (especially compared to Starbucks or atomic coffee in royal oak). The matcha latte was delish but a little...lumpy lol. I still loved it but it was a little unmixed as sometimes happens with matcha mix. Please note this location is NOT open till 10 as the others are. Closes at 8pm.

Rebecca Gade

Can't believe it's taken me so long to come here! I've been missing out. The food is super delicious with well marked vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The falafel is spiced and fried perfectly - you must try it. I'll be back!

I am obsessed with Nautical Bowls. As someone who eats entirely gluten free and is always trying to eat healthy. This place is my go-to. Amazing bowls I love the paddle bowl. Love that Nautical Bowls is an entirely gluten free space, so I never have to worry about cross contamination. Highly recommend!

Bridgette Mack

Love this place for seafood. I always get the mussels. It's a little more casual than expected. It's quiet enough to have a conversation and perfect for 5 or more people. The booths are pretty large. (also good for 2 or 1 peeps). They have their own beers which is cool, and also have some gluten free options for drinks. Service is also always amazing and everyone is very kind.

Dave Dorobek

Cannot say enough about the staff. Top notch and super friendly. Oh, and the gluten free pizza is awesome for my wife, she gets it regularly. I like their pizza calzone! Highly recommend.

Tristan McKay

I have celiac and was rudely informed by the manager that they can’t give any information about food to customers. Meaning no information about what foods contain gluten. Qdoba needs to change this policy and train their staff to handle food allergies appropriately. Also the food was cold, flavorless, and about half the portion you get at chipotle. Never going back!

Chantal Z

This place has great lunch prices, amazing margaritas and the food was pretty good. I ordered the Pollo Rojo. Everything is labeled gluten free and/or vegan which was awesome.

Eric Nguyen

Best late night gluten free pizza in royal oak. Period

Mia Laan

Spent a wonderful night in this restaurant! Drinks were amazing along with every appetizer and entree we had. Gluten free and vegetarian options are phenomenal along with their other protein choices. We visited when they first open and they have come a looong way with their presentation and service. Definitely recommend coming here if you haven’t yet or in a while. Service is always A+. Thank you so much Cafe de Olla!

Debbie Hill

Everything is so fresh and delicious I love the bowl and choosing my own base, protein, sauces, etc. I'm also gluten free and appreciate so many choices!

Jason Mac

Great food and gluten free options :j

Callie Bussell

My partner and I went here on a whim for date night and was absolutely floored by how wonderful everything was! Our server, Linda, was quick, kind, and wonderful! The food was delicious and allergy conscious, as we’re both gluten free! You can get gluten free soy sauce which felt like a luxury we haven’t found many other places! We will absolutely be back!

Luna Lia Gingerbread

My husband and I dined here for his birthday back in March. We were both surprised at how small the two 4 oz blackened steaks were for $34. The $23 pan cooked chicken breast was a bit dry and served with the skin and fat still intact. It was an incredible inconvenience and gross mess. I mentioned this to the waitress was it supposed to be served like this? All she said was she didn’t know and do I want her to check for me? When she came back she said that is how they serve it. I shouldn’t have had to take the skin and fat off of chicken as a patron in this restaurant. It's completely unreasonable to expect a customer to prepare their own food in a restaurant. Having to remove skin and fat from chicken is something you'd normally do at home. The $15 gluten free pizza was good and very thin. We haven’t returned and don’t plan to.

Caitlin Read

Our first visit to Edo and it was wonderful! My fiance and I both have dietary restrictions (vegan) and it was wonderful to see an entire portion of the menu dedicated to vegan and gluten free items. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was modern and filled with an artist's work. We got the vegan mad hatter roll, spicy tofu ramen and the pancin bihon, all together it was around 60 bucks which is a little pricey but everything is right now and they give you a ton of food. Everything was delicious and we can't wait to be back to try the veggie volcano roll and vegan mochi 😋

Patty Ann

Good food. Nice alternatives for vegan and gluten free. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Nothing fancy but we got wholesome good food. A bit pricey.

Jacob Parise

They do a good job with gluten free.

Cathy LaLonde

This place has the nicest staff and the best veggie grape leaves and salad ever- and their dressing is so good! I've been going here for a decade and they are still consistently amazing!! I have tried veggie grape leaves from several other restaurants and they usually just have dry rice inside but Falafel King's are not dry at all and its not just rice inside-- (chickpeas mixture and rice?)-- it is so delicious, and best of all gluten free!

So my wife and I got one of their burgers which were solid, however, my wife ordered one with a GF bun and when we got the burger, it had a bun that looked and tasted exactly like mine. I'm not 100% sure, but when you eat GF, you know the difference between gluten free and not. When I asked the waitress about it, she did confirm it was a GF bun, but I'm not sure she was telling the truth, as my wife put it, they either have the best GF buns ever or the waitress lied. we did not get upcharged for the bun which is also odd. In addition to that, we ordered their rib appetizer which was $15.00. the flavor was great, but there was hardly any meat on the bones, I felt like it was a RIP-off for 15 bucks. All in all, their flavors were solid, they either have the best gluten free bun of all time or our waitress lied about it, and their burgers were good. Other than the bun incident, our waitress was great, quick, and attentive to things like our drinks running low. Also, their fries are fantastic, drinks were great, and the vibe was cool. I will likely get another gluten free burger and see if they actually gave us a gluten free bun last time.

Paul Gaughan

Gluten free hamburger buns!!

John Dolbee

Po boy was great, salad was light, steak tenderloin were on point. Although not on the menu, they do have gluten free alternatives. Will be back.

Christine C

The cauliflower crust pizza - incredibly good!! And I'm not vegan/vegetarian/celiac.

Randiah Green

Excellent food and service. They can make almost any fried rice dish, curry, and pad thai vegan and gluten free! Vegan and gluten free drunken noodle was delicious. I asked them to make the spice as mild as possible (because I can’t handle spicy food) and the spice level was perfect.

Becca M

New favorite spot. Walking distance from our house. Got the birria tacos and they were so good I just sat there eating in silence. The owner is super friendly and was very helpful about recommending things that would be safe to eat with a gluten allergy. It’s so nice to be able to eat at a Mexican restaurant and not get sick after because their tortilla chips aren’t cross fried with anything else. Will definitely be back. So thrilled this place has opened! Definitely a new staple for us.

Shea Martin

After being diagnosed with celiac I was a little discouraged about going out to eat but Chipotle made me feel safe. They took a lot of precautions without me needing to ask. They have lots of great gluten and dairy free options. The staff were kind and professional as well.

Scott

Yummy treats from Zingermans. Gluten free options being added soon they said. The coffee is very tasty. Great space to sit with tons of light and great views onto the street.

Edward Tucker

Delicious shawarma, the chicken and beef are both tasty and moist. The rice with vermicelli noodles is fluffy and flavorful. The garlic dip is spot on, with no eggs, and the hummus is smooth and very tasty. They have a wide variety of drinks, sides, and toppings for the make your own bowl option. They also have a good variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.

Judy Ritsema

Very understanding of my being new to the area, told me how to get there, and my order was hot and delicious, gluten free crust was crispy and perfect!

Christine B.

Lately they have been out of gluten free bread when I order. It is usually a 50% chance they have it. Today they had it, but it was as hard as a rock. Price is high for the quality. Do better.

Maya Cameron

The. Best. Gluten-free buttermilk pancakes in Metro Detroit!!!
