Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Cleveland

Briana Gamble

I want to love Town Hall, as someone who has food allergies (gluten, dairy, & soy), but the last 2 times my order was made wrong. Both times they contained one of my allergies - the first time a burger came with cheese and the second time I was given the keto bun instead of the gluten free bun which contains dairy. The first time it was refunded since I was already home. The second time I was close by when I realized and they made it again. Food allergies are nothing to mess with though and to advertise as accommodating but consistently make food wrong is very frustrating. There’s clearly a lack of knowledge from staff or protocols are lacking.

We had a lovely outdoor lunch at the end of summer. I was pleasantly surprised by their gluten free pasta offerings. The calamari and spicy stuffed peppers were awesome. We will be back!

It was my first time visiting this restaurant and the experience was very good. I was lucky that the waitress spoke Spanish. If you don't eat gluten it's a good place to come because the sauces are gluten-free and they have gluten-free bread. I hadn't had a sandwich in a restaurant for years. The food was exquisite. I tried the Big Pig Sandwich and the fries. When I return to Cleveland I definitely have to go back.

By far the best gluten free pizza I’ve had in Ohio! Fun spot open late on the weekends.

William Meier

I ordered the gluten free bun. I understand that gluten free tends to be “dry”, and crumbly. What I discovered is that eating the burger upside down worked better because the bottom is too thin and fell apart. Overall very good burger and the service was and restaurant was👍.

I came here for the first time last month and have been back two more times. I don't know why it took me so long to come try it (well maybe because parking in Little Italy leaves a lot to be desired). All the food I've had here has been very good, especially the homemade pasta. The noodles were thick and delicious and the sauce had the perfect flavor. I've also had lasagna and the regular crust pizza which were also very good. The portions aren't crazy out of control. I normally avoid gluten because it makes me blow up like a balloon and will only eat it if it's really worth it. Here, it is really worth it. I haven't tried the gluten free crust yet but plan to, I'm glad they have that option it makes me like them even better.

We took a chance and stopped for brunch. Both of us are gluten free and the food was fantastic. The service was excellent as well!! Definitely recommend the brisket.

Michael Augello

The food was AMAZING!!! Love the Gluten Free options and the taste was ✨✨✨

Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. The food was fresh and tasted good. They have good milkshakes as well.

Marvin J. Miller

Great service, excellent food, generous portions, friendly staff, gluten free.

Jamie Hamrick

They have Celiac safe gluten free options! The server was phenomenal! We loved her sense of humor and insight on various dishes and beverages. We will definitely be back!

Alexis King

Went here after finding out one of our favorite restaurants in Cleveland was closed. Was really looking forward to trying this place as we always go up to cleveland and pass this place. The only good thing about this place was the view from the table. Food was pricey, and the menu was hard to read if you didn't know Spanish. They do offer gluten-free and vegan options. The food was not as good as I was hoping. The meat in the tacos was really weird and tasted dried. One of the people I was with ordered the burrito which had bison shoulder in the burrito and said the meat was veiny. Our drinks were filled up once right before we left due to our waitor not wanting to come back to our table. The booth we were sat in had a big tear and was wondering how that was possible when the food was so overpriced. The plates that had our food was on was chipped in areas. Super disappointed! Will not be back!

Clean cozy and welcoming. Has a table for 8 plus a few smaller tables for 2. The price was average for a small Independent coffee spot. Gluten free bakery items on hand usually

Julie Famulare

Food is outstanding, we ate both breakfast and dinner here. The portion sizes are large, I highly recommend the hummus, it was delicious! They also have gluten free bread and rolls which was a bonus!

Sallie Ferlotti

We went to cheese school at Astoria! The cheese monger was sooo knowledgeable and energetic. The service was great. They accommodated my gluten free request. A very fun and delicious evening!

Brooke Crystaloski

The cafe I recently visited is truly the best I've ever experienced. It's my favorite go-to spot, offering amazing gluten-free options, vegan and organic dishes, and the most incredible variety of juices imaginable. Every visit is a delight, and I can't recommend it enough!

Emily Lake

This is by far the best ice cream spot in Cleveland. They have so many unique flavors that there's bound to be something for everyone. They have plenty of vegan and gluten-free options as well. They have some of the best workers I've ever met. They're all very kind, patient, and helpful. I came in recently on a slower day and we talked like instant friends. After we ate our icecream and food, we found our car battery was dead. As we waited for a jump from our insurance, we went back inside to get more icecream, and one of the workers said she had a set of jumper cables in her car if we wanted her help. I'm always amazed by the kindness of the workers here and leave feeling happy! The food is also delicious. I love the egg waffles, and the ube ice cream is a must to at least try. I've tried ube ice cream from stores but it is not as good as Mason's. Their Korean corn dogs and newly added fries are also delicious! I recommend the potato topping and buldak yum yum sauce. I love that they also collaborate with local businesses occasionally for items on the menu. Overall, I recommend this shop for anyone who loves ice cream or good food. It's a little pricy, at least to me, but is absolutely worth it.

Great food. Made fresh. Has gluten free and vegan options. The bread and slather are always a great choice. Offers a kids menu. Does sell alcohol. Nice small patio with picnic tables. Service is hit or miss. Can order take out.

Kate London

This place has amazing food and is knowledgeable about gluten free. I ate so much I hurt.

Jenny Kirk

Driving through Cleveland looking for healthy lunch options-gluten free. Solid solid Mediterranean bowls. Personable owner. Fast service. Great prices.

Brandi Farris

A cute taco place that has a build your own style of taco menu. This was my second time visiting while in Cleveland. I better understood what to order. I personally had a shrimp taco and the steak taco and a basic ground sirloin beef taco. Being gluten free I selected the gluten free corn hard shells. They were some of the best I've had. Both taco combinations I created were good. The shrimp I wish I would have gotten 2 of instead of the ground sirloin. I wasn't a huge fan of the meat. I am also very picky about my ground beef and it was not for me. I added the cilantro lime aoli cream and quesa fresca cheese to my shrimp taco. My only complaint would be, they barely put any cheese on it. I almost thought my tacos didn't have any on them. The steak was slightly tough but not bad. I probably wouldn't get it again. I'd definitely order the shrimp combo again and try another combination. They offer a lot of variety in meats and toppings for the taco. You can also get them in a bowl. I didn't order one but their margarita flights looked yummy. Definitely recommend this place if you are in downtown Cleveland. My sister order the chips and queso dip and I tried the queso and it was good.

Melissa provided perfect breakfast service! Our food was out within minutes and prepared with the modifications we needed (gluten free bread, no red onions). The food was simple but delicious and fresh. Well done all around!

We enjoy coming here from time to time. In general, we’ve had good service, and the food has always been very tasty and reasonably priced. Parking is along the streets, but can be very close by. In nice weather, there is an outside patio area for seating under an awning, like many cafés in France. There are two main dining areas inside, a smaller cafe-like area and larger, more decorative dining room through a doorway. The dishes we had were not available in the selections list on Google. Those included le Champions (mushrooms) Bourguignon and the Crepe d’Ratatouille (vegetable stew) in a buckwheat crepe (gluten free). The latter has cheese, though I believe they would prepare it without cheese if asked. Our server was efficient and courteous. Getting older now and being later evening, I opted for decaf coffee, which wasn’t the best; it may be the worst thing I’ve had there, but is the exception overall.

Lindsey Whitticar

Had a great lunch that was vegan and gluten free. We came up with substitutes for the fries since it was a shared fryer. The impossible burger was amazing.

Donald Ward

I have visited Punch Bowl Social for the second time and I will definitely be returning again! The service is excellent and the food is amazing! They offer a wide variety of gluten-free options on their menu.

Alex Bigelow

Travel from sandusky to get these tacos on the regular. Amazing tacos and the staff has always been super welcoming. My husband has celiac disease and has never had a reaction as well.

Lior Seidel

GF sushi!

Nicole Cox

Delicious food, great service and staff is very knowledgeable about gluten sensitivities

Anthony Sodd

After encountering an initial disappointment at Burgerim due to receiving gluten buns instead of the gluten-free lettuce wraps I ordered, I was pleasantly surprised by the owner's response. Mario promptly addressed my concerns with sincerity, offering a full refund and a gift card as a gesture of goodwill. His commitment to improving service and ensuring a better experience on my next visit is commendable. While my first visit was disappointing, I appreciate Mario's efforts to rectify the situation. Therefore, I am updating my rating to 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you, Mario, for your attention to customer satisfaction.

Lizzy MK

I love Metropolitan Coffee! Every time I have been here, the staff is always very kind and welcoming. They have great coffee and different housemade flavors. Also, they have wonderful and delicious food and dessert selections. (Good options also if you are gluten free!) Love it here, and have always felt very safe here even when I am picking up a coffee here by myself.

Kelly Rhodes

TL;DR: delicious food, gluten free and vegetarian options labeled on menu, amazing customer service I drive by Batuqui all the time and had kind of written it off assuming they wouldn’t really have anything good for a gluten free vegetarian. While looking through DoorDash tonight, I noticed that they had multiple delicious looking options that were labeled GF/vegetarian/vegan/dairy free/etc! I ordered and ended up getting someone else’s order. While I realize that this was likely the restaurant’s fault, DoorDash is supposed to fix these problems. However, after trying to resolve the issue through DoorDash to no avail, I called the restaurant. Gabriella took no time at all to come up with a few solutions to my issue. Ultimately, I really wanted my order, but I couldn’t get to the restaurant to pick it up, so she arranged to have it delivered. Amazing customer service. The food is also delicious. Definitely recommend the Moqueca Baiana stew. My husband loved the Churrasco Gaucho. Since we got someone else’s order, he also tried the Stroganoff which he said was great as well. Bon bons - two thumbs up. Definitely look forward to eating at the restaurant one day soon!

Beatriz Lapa

The best gluten free ice cream i have ever had... There is a lot of options...

Lee Patrick Drummond

Good food for an airport and had lots of gluten free options, which is nice because travelling with Celiac sucks.

Brandis Turnbull

We decided to go for the two most decadent sounding appetizers. Both the Krab Fries and Fried Green Tomatoes were not only amazing, not only vegan but also GLUTEN FREE. The fried green tomatoes were perfectly crisp, and the accompanying sauces and garnish were heavenly. The KRAB FRIES 🤤🤤🤤🤤🥲 literally brought a tear to my eye. I don't know what is in that cream sauce, but it tastes like the fanciest seafood chowder and really makes the dish. After devouring the generously portioned noshes, we decided to order the polenta grits and cheesecake to-go. Both were wonderful, and we will definitely return.

Logan Carr

Visited Der Braumeister with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday - it was a great experience! She has a gluten allergy, and we were super excited to see how many options she had on both the expansive food and drink menus. Our dinners were delicious and our server Angie was wonderful.

Briana Kristen

I’ve been to all 3 Luca restaurants. Every time it has been fantastic. The service is impeccable at each location and the food is always amazing. This is definitely the place to go for happy hour. I have celiac so I love the fact they have dishes and pasta I can eat. They have an excellent wine selection and strong cocktails. My cousin and I went to Aqua and East Bank last week for happy hours. The calamari is to die for. The bartenders were wonderful. I went to the west location a few months ago and had the same experience.

Delta Golf

Cafe inside Rays Indoor MTB Park was Gypsy Beans! Friendly staff at this location. Coffee was great. Gluten free options but nothing dairy free. They do have some vegan burrito but no idea what it consisted of. Baked goods looked SO yummy.

Lia Atchison

All around a great place for a casual dining experience. Love the food, especially the variety of burgers and unique toppings. Thank you for the gluten free options. They have awesome GF buns.

Eve Nicholas

I love this place! The food here is extremely healthy and very accommodating to my dietary restrictions including gluten and dairy. The staff is so welcoming and nice and made the entire experience so much better. 10/10 would come back.

Jordan Kern

Great place with wonderful people. I go there quite a bit for their breakfast and am always pleased. My goto is the Marc's Brothers. They carry gluten free bread which is a rarity for most establishments. I must also admit their sausage is better than Bob Evan's! If you go you must try their pancakes and waffles as well. They are excellent.

Kate London

A lovely place with excellent Mexican inspired foods. They label gluten free on the menu which is amazing.

Liz Weber

Food and service were excellent. The waiter and kitchen were super accommodating of my gluten free diet. They made the pasta special with gluten free noodles, and it was delicious. I’ll definitely be back again.

Alayna Monachino

i love their wide variety of options and they even has gluten free and vegan donuts. Reasonably priced, love seeing them at the market sometimes too. 10/10 would recommend

August Newman

I'm writing this a few hours after having eaten here with a friend. From the moment we stepped inside, the staff were phenomenal. We were greeted by the door and asked if we had ever been there before. They let us pick where we wanted to sit and ensured that we had drinks within the first few minutes of walking in the door. Our waiter was also extremely attentive. As soon as I mentioned that I have celiac disease, he informed me about the precautions they take and what on the menu would be safe for me to eat. He also mentioned possible accommodations if there was anything that wasn't explicitly marked Gluten Free on the menu (and a large portion of it was already marked gf!). I immediately knew I would be walking out of here without getting sick. When we ordered an appetizer for the table, they brought corn tortillas as an alternative to fried chips which were excellent. The dip almost put me in tears since it was so delicious! My main course was the blue corn enchiladas. It was scrumptious and the plating was beautiful! Honestly one of the best meals I've had in years. They knew exactly which dish was mine (gf) and which one was my friends (non-gf). Everyone was extremely kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. Arguably this was one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had, even when I didn't have dietary restrictions. I cannot recommend this place enough and I would give it 7/5 stars if I could.

Parker Wilson

What a special place! We came for a medical visit and left with full bellies and happy hearts. Amazing service, above and beyond kindness and EPIC food! Gluten free magic too!

Sirius Infernal

I absolutely LOVE it here. My husband and I just recently discovered 27 Club after picking up the latest copy of Scene Magazine. Due to medical conditions, I frustratingly have to avoid both gluten and dairy. This limits my options at most restaurants & cafes. When I saw the menu here, I was stunned. We got a Margherita pizza with vegan cheese and gluten free crust…it was the best I’ve ever had! My husband, who does NOT have dietary restrictions, said he couldn’t even tell that it was gluten free or dairy free. The drinks are gorgeous. I highly recommend the pink milk latte with oat milk! Make sure you pick up some merch and do not miss the vegan + gluten free desserts that are on the counter, off to the side. We tried the donuts and not only were they tasty, but they weren’t too heavy. I left feeling great. This is a must-visit for the sensitive stomach girlies! Parking is surprisingly decent for the location. Atmosphere is social media worthy and very on brand for MGK. Already looking forward to going back.

Bob Dobbs

Good selection of German cuisine. Excellent beer selection. Excellent waitstaff. Slightly overpriced for what you get but near to Playhouse Square so not unexpected. Surprising amount of gluten-free items if that is your need or preference.
