Top 18 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Kalamazoo

Carlee Roberts

The food was cold, the waitress’s finger was touching our food and she rearranged some bacon on a plate with her fingers. I lost my appetite after seeing the poor hygiene of some of the waitresses. There was coughing without mouths covered. We also asked for a gluten free dish that when came, was not gluten free. Overall the food would’ve been enjoyable if it was served at the right temperature.

I ordered a pizza online (gluten free and vegan) The pizza was ready in 20 minutes! I do think there was not enough vegan cheese on the pizza other than that it was great!

We stopped in for lunch while out running errands. We’d read good reviews on Google and Find Me Gluten Free. Condado lived up to the high ratings. The Lucy’s Fire and Braided & Confused tacos were amazing! We added the loaded tots to the meal which were also fantastic. Highly recommend this place! Our server, Bria, pleasantly greeted us upon entering the restaurant and was very helpful and attentive during our entire stay.

Hope was great!! So concerned about my daughter’s celiac and it made our meal relaxing not to have to worry about it. The restaurant is excellent.

Mandy Rodriguez

GET THE GLUTEN FREE CAULIFLOWER CRUST!!! The staff were very knowledgeable and even made suggestions on what other gluten free people, like myself, tried and loved. The cauliflower crust was amazing and my glutenized parter said he couldn’t tell the difference between this crust and a regular thin crust. I waited to write a review until the next day so I would know if I was contaminated or not. I came here to tell you that I feel great!!!

Anna Glasgow

Love this place! The parking is behind the building. I am dairy free and I ordered the spaghetti without Parmesan cheese. The menu has many noodles that are gluten free. Great place to dine and delicious food!

Meghan Rowlands

Great atmosphere for everyone, including families. There may be wait times as it seems to be a popular place. Very attentive and kind serving staff. I have coeliac disease so I picked this place for their large range of gluten free options. The server for our table went out to the kitchen and double checked on how food was prepared. Kitchen uses all fresh separate pans for allergy food to help prevent cross contamination. Very happy with the experience here and very thankful for the extra care the server and kitchen took for me. Would definitely recommend this place!

I LOVE the atmosphere here and the food was good! I ordered: -Iced Strawberry Matcha (I got it with oatmilk) $7 -Iced Vegan Horchata Matcha $7.5 -Avocado toast $7 💲Total: $21.50 :)) The Iced Strawberry Matcha was good and not too sweet. My favorite, though, was the Iced Vegan Horchata Matcha, it had great flavor! The avocado toast was good, though a bit salty for me personally. I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free and dairy-free options. I was hoping to try the baked goods and hot waffle, but they weren’t ready yet when I came around 8:20am. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for reading or studying, and the staff were super friendly. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Megan Benjamin

Pretty decent gluten free menu. My partner and I split the green godess garden salad and the chicken tikka masala. The Tikka was a much creamer version than typical, and absolutely delicious! I think there was cream in the sauce. Very good. The salad was also good, but if that were all I had, I probably would not have bothered writing a review.

Dustin Eggerding

Used to love eating here, especially as someone who cannot have gluten. They have a decent selection of gf products. Quality has gone down a lot. Took a few months off from eating here and tried it again. We found both of our dishes to be relatively flavorless. Wont spend my money here any longer.

Isabella Perez (Bella)

The gluten free bun here is amazing! It holds its shape and is really soft. I honestly wouldn’t have known it was gluten free. The burgers and wings are delicious! The wings are crispy and perfectly lightly sauced. It’s bar food, but it was all fresh and not greasy. Our server wasn’t knowledgeable on gluten containing products on the menu and had to ask the back multiple things, so if you’re sensitive to gluten and wondering- the curly fries and wings are not coated in flour, and the cheese sauce also doesn’t contain gluten.

Kerry Black

Good food. Fast service. Plenty of gluten free options

Whitney Danielle

As someone with dietary restrictions, I can't believe I didn't come here sooner. Being able to get a gluten free crust with vegan toppings felt like Christmas. I was able to get a bunch of toppings plus a pesto drizzle and it's a flat price, so you don't pay for every individual topping. I will say it's a little stressful for a first -time customer that doesn't know the flow or process/ordering.

Debi Kilmartin

Today was the third time I've eaten at the Culver's near me. First time was OK. Second time the chicken cashew salad was inedible. Today the chicken breast sandwich with a gluten-free bun was not good. The bun was super soggy, the chicken was tough and I did not get any of the condiments I asked for in the drive-through. I don't think I can go to this restaurant anymore

Alexandra Walton (Lexi)

A friend and I were visiting from out of town and happened upon this place, and we were so glad we did! The service and atmosphere were amazing. Such a wonderful experience and the food was good too. The baba ghanoush was delicious and I really liked the cauliflower in the chicken biryani. Good vegetarian and gluten free options.

Steve Love

Amazing pizza and customer service. We love their regular and gluten free pizzas. We really appreciate the vegan meat and cheese options as well.

Jillian Bovitz

Scott was amazing! I have celiac disease, along with many other allergies, and Scott was very helpful. Having celiac is new to me, and can be very difficult when going out to eat. He made sure to ask many of the other staff and kitchen members to make sure that I was able to eat safely. I have never had a server at any restaurant be that kind, so I am very impressed!

Kristy Halm

I have to eat gluten free and was ecstatic about my favorite foods being available! I only tried the gf cheese bread this time and husband had the dill pickle pizza...all of it was DELISH! 🤌

Mallori Bolter

LOVE THIS PLACE! No matter if you're vegan, gluten free, or just a regular foodie, you'll LOVE this place. Their coffee is great, food is great, servers are always the nicest people, and the owner ensures everyone's happiness every time. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

Holly Nater

We went to Crow's Nest for the first time on Saturday, June 1, 2024 after funding them on the Happy Cow app. The atmosphere was great. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. They have a section specifically labeled vegan and vegetarian which is great! Sara our server made a great suggestion for a modification for my gluten free wife. She is not a celiac but has sensitivity and always eats gluten free. While the modification was tasty, we would love to see Crow's Nest offer a gluten free bread. Sara did tell us that they are worried about cross-contamination and that they pride themselves on baking their own bread in-house. But please consider a gluten free option for people who aren't as sensitive. We will definitely be back to try more vegan options!

Gluten free food in Kalamazoo, we got a burger and the gluten free bread they gave us was actually good which was amazing. The server understood our need and she executed/ was very informative and even asked the kitchen for us about fries. Thanks Thunderbirds for a great experience:)

The gluten free pizza was yummmy

Kindred Zuckschwerdt

OH MYLANTA !!! If you all are ever in Kalamazoo.. instead of going to some chain place to eat.. you HAVE to go to The Grazing Table Kalamazoo! The staff is amazing, friendly and their food is not cookie cutter type food! Their avocado toast is amazing , aunt rose said their roasted Turkey club is THE BEST Turkey sandwich she’s ever had, the in house slaw is mind blowing . The absolutely have gluten free options and their drinks menu is like nothing else you’ve seen (AND DELICIOUS) check out their yummy menu on their page . RUN.. do not walk to this amazing find ! YESTERDAY! Note below is just half an order of my avacado toast that I took with me!! FREAKING AMAZING !

Tamara Cody

Nice find while in our road trip. Food was good portions were what we expected. Looked like they did a bunch of takeout. Staff was busy so it did take a bit longer to get our order taken. I did appreciate the gluten free items were indicated on the menu.

Hannah Newman-Jacobs

Please be careful here if you have any allergies. This use to be my go to spot, but the last two times I’ve been, something has gone wrong either in my coffee or food order. Today I went and they had discontinued the vegan egg option, so we ordered a gluten free bagel with the few other allergen free things we could attempt (mainly veggies) and they still put a regular egg patty on even though we stated we are vegan and I have an egg allergy. A kind worker offered to remake it, which was appreciated. We really wish places maintained their limited options for those with allergies. I feel unsafe returning due to the last few errors, and would hate for someone to be allergened. I know accidents happen, but to the workers here PLEASE take food allergies seriously. A dear friend of mine was hospitalized multiple times due to oversights.

Dale Syverson

There’s plenty of parking. The restaurant has an ample seating capacity and a pleasant ambiance. The menu is large and diverse with gluten free and vegan choices. The roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer was tasty and crunchy. The cream of mushroom soup was good, but I had ordered the soup du jour. The bread was nothing special. The wine was passable but overpriced, and after having ordered Cabernet I was served Chardonnay. They took back the Chardonnay and served me the Cabernet but charged me for both. I had Rigatoni Bolognese which had a decent meat sauce but the pasta was unexceptional, could easily have been off the shelf. A nice busy restaurant, decent food, high volume kitchen, successful business, obviously run with a sharp pencil. We spent $42 per person, but you eat a meal for as little as $30 per person or easily spend as much as $120 or more per person.

Wayne Perg

One of the best little local burger places in Kalamazoo. They are able to accommodate vegan and gluten free diets and their fries are amazing. Definitely a place worth checking out. Though be advised there is almost no parking (they said to park by the fence at the car repair place across the street).

Sasha Ospina

This is the best breakfast place in Kalamazoo. It is delicious and consistent and the best service. Also has incredible gluten free options like pancakes and toast.

A Wurl

GLUTEN FREE fast, like super fast, tex-mex food. Be care about coming unless you are ready to fill your self up on cheap prices and excellent food!

Rebecca Richards

Richelle is always welcoming and friendly. And she makes amazing drinks! Best gluten free pizza in the area: )

Chelsea Kirby

Great food and pizza! Love stopping here when I am in town. We love a place that has gluten free and vegetarian options.

Joya our server is the best we come from an hour away but it worth the drive she’s so nice and fun to talk to. Service was spot on service was fast will be back soon. Add Gluten free pancakes please

Brian Caserto

Roca is one of my favorite places in Kalamazoo. The food keeps getting better, with additions to the large plates, and the tacos are consistently excellent. Really good vegetarian options and great menu for gluten free individuals. Cocktails are great, and there is an extensive tequila selection, small beer list that highlights the theme of the restaurant. One issue I have with the atmosphere is that sound travels, and it's usually very loud. That being said it's great to be there with a full restaurant because it feels lively. Servers are always really great, and bathrooms are large and accommodating.

Carole Parsons

So friendly, the waitress was on top of everything. The food is wonderful. They do gluten free pancakes and bread. This was my first visit but not my last.

My sister suggested we stop in because they have gluten free bread and are very good about allergies. My older sister also makes the regular bread they use so all of us were happy with the choice. I got the turkey with bacon sandwich and there's just something you can't beat about fresh veggies on a sandwich. My sister got the tuna sandwich which she had been eager to try for some time. While some of the tuna did escape the bread, it was still excellent! My other sister got the cranberry gobbler. She also mentioned that it had apple prices in it. We are outside at one of their tables. Had an excellent time.

We go a few times a month and love it here. I'm always looking for celiac friendly restaurants and this is a fav!

Sasha Ospina

I always love martinis. Gluten free pizza was awesome!!

Tara Renda

Very disappointed in our experience- it was overpriced for the Easter Buffet meal we were served. Every 15 minutes we were reminded we only had our table until 1:30. Our reservation was for 12:30. At 1:20, we were being rushed out of the restaurant. The advertisement looks like mimosas were included, but they were extra. The food was not very good. We were sat at a both and had people with a disability yet two large tables sat empty and we were not able to switch tables. Those parties did not come in until we were leaving. My niece is gluten free and when she asked if there were any gluten free dessert options, she was told she would have to pay for a dessert. They couldn’t even offer her a scoop of ice cream? Very poor customer service all the way around and not accommodating at all. We couldn’t enjoy our meal with people having to get in and out of the booth and being pressured for time. I don’t think we will be back.

My husband and I had our wedding catered by Rykse and Co. and couldn’t be more satisfied with all of their help and service! We would recommend them to anyone!!! We received so many compliments from our guests on how incredible the food and dessert for our wedding was. We can’t thank Rykse and Co. enough for all of their help along the way. They even helped make gluten-free and dairy-free options available!!!!! Thank you for helping make our day so easy and delicious!

Glen Hawkins

Always Great Sub but, I need gluten free Sub Bread

I hate to leave a tepid review for a Kalamazoo restaurant since it's not easy to survive in this city, however, we have not had the best experiences here. I have celiac disease, so oftentimes sushi is a good solution for me, but this restaurant does not have any allergy information on the menu. None of our servers were too concerned with helping me navigate the menu. In fact, after needing a few minutes to look at the menu, our most recent server returned and said "have you been able to make any decisions yet?" We were next to the only people in the restaurant, and closing time was not soon. You might want to train your servers to say something like "are there any questions I could answer or could I make a suggestion?" Also, the service was dreadfully slow. This experience is quite the opposite of traditional sushi where you might order a roll or two and then order another piece or two, because getting your food the first time takes at least an hour. On all three occasions eating at Maru, we were there for 2.5-3 hours... Waiting with dirty dishes, waiting for the check, etc. On all three occasions, no gluten-free tamari was delivered so I sat there waiting for quite a while while other people ate. I ordered a salad, and it was not delivered with the appetizers and I had to ask for it after my dinner was delivered. It was pretty diminutive for $8. Most recently, I ordered one glass of wine and was never offered another over the 3 hours we were there. Overall the food was okay, but the changes made to the rolls to make them gluten-free generally made them very bland, and in terms of a sushi restaurant, the amount of seafood in the dishes was quite small. My husband was searching for crab in the rangoon dip. I see a lot of your reviews say the same thing regarding service, and I think you probably need to bring in someone to do some training. Also, please let your hostesses know that you do in fact have car seat swings, my friend asked and your hostess said that no you didn't, but then we looked at them in the corner the whole time lol.

Great sandwiches on good bread. Their salt and vinegar chips are the absolute best, especially when eaten together with their sandwiches. Their pickles are good too. Try the unwich (lettuce wraps) if you're going low carb or gluten free.

The server was very knowledgable on my dietary/gluten allergy. At the end, the food was good, and I felt safe. We will be back! Thankyou lucky!
