Top 37 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Delight in Cape May

Eliza Horn

If you need gluten free food, they have an extensive menu. They're gluten free crab/shrimp cakes were the reason we make a 2 hour drive to eat there.

Molly O'Keefe

I was able to get safely made gluten free pancakes!

Geraldine Zweigle

Was excellent 👌 They had gluten. Free bread so I was able to enjoy my breakfast 😋 🤗

There is no way I could have enjoyed my evening more than I did at Blue Moon. Cape May is a Beautiful place, and Blue Moon only makes it better. My family and I have gone since last year and have loved it every time. The staff is an exceptional group and it clearly demonstrates the competence of the management. Not only is the front side staff wonder full but the cooks are as well. Their talent for the apt creation of pizza is like no other. They were even able to accommodate for my gluten free friends. I truly love this restaurant and can speak no higher praises of it.

Very kid friendly, such kind employees and our waitress was beyond caring. They have gluten free options and they taste just as delicious. We got the chips and guacamole and the chips are gluten free. We ordered our meal and the food was done entirely in just about ten minutes and the food was delivered by a waitress who was just as kind as our own. On a Saturday night we got a table right away and we did not have to wait for a table for three, and the environment is very homey. In addition it’s located right next to the beach so it’s worth going to. They have tvs and the windows are open, and the Phillies were on the tvs. This is a good family friendly place to visit for a good meal.

We’ve dined at Vintage many times before and find it a reliable, tasty alternative in our dining routine. Courses are fairly priced, the staff is nice and attentive, and the food serving sizes and tastes are reliably good. Dining is outdoors either semi-exposed or under a very large and secure tent. The view of the Physic Estate is delightful and the grounds provide an escape for the youngest diners to stretch their legs if bored at the table. We had the prosciutto a baked Brie appetizers, both of which were high quality, nicely presented, and very tasty. The pesto pasta and lamb shank were our diner selections and also delicious. Vintage is BYOB which offers a cost savings. MAC members are offered a dining discount - bring your membership card. Parking is convenient, ample and FREE! There are no steps to access the restaurant. This restaurant is also very accommodating for anyone with a gluten issue. We will dine here again and recommend you give Vintage a try.

I have celiac disease & stop at Hot Dog Tommy's every year because his business is certified gluten free. When you order just let the staff know that you want you dog & fries gluten free. Service is excellent and so is the food. Thank you Hot Dog Tommy's for another delicious meal and always going the extra mile💗

Went early to avoid the beach Sunday breakfast rush. Service was fast and the food was good. They also had gluten free pancakes which my daughter loved.

Pinkyand TheBrain

The food was exceptionally good. Or the ingredients of the pizza were. But the crust was like a cracker and I have had gluten free pizza at 5 places I like that it was "gluten free" . But it was not really. True Gluten free for Celiacs has pizza or whatever in a dedicated oven. It was not. The pizza itself was Gluten free. But it was made with Glutinous pizza. My husband is Celiac and broke out. Because it was not made in a dedicated pizza oven. The parking was not free like they advertised. It was 8.00 and there was no bathroom. You had to go across the parking lot not close. But it was close to the ferry. For some reason I am not able to post pictures.

Server messed up order and he tried to explain it look like we ordered the wrong thing. My daughter has Celiac and did not feel comfortable eating there as nothing in menu even remotely offers gluten free items, server says " Are you just not hungry". It is not your business.Know your place. Needed separate checks and he stated only 2 could be done. Such bull. There were 9 people in the party. Brendan, If you are busy and cannot handle a 9 top, state that. You clearly did not do steps of service. We had bread plates at the table and you did not bring over bread. Nor did you refill water without being asked. You were friendly but you need to stop taking tables if you cannot handle them. We were very limited on time or we would have our right meals made for us. Time to update the dated Restaurant a tad. The 1960s are calling and would like their uniforms back. Hideous.

We enjoyed their veggie & gluten free options, eating on the back deck. Thanks Brian!

Rich Filandro

This place is a must see in Cape May. Easy access walking, driving or Uber. Eat outside to people watch. Gluten free options. Attentive staff great service and the food is wonderful. In a hurry? Order take out and zip in and out. Great drinks too

Megan Bittner

My husband and I went for my birthday weekend in Cape May. We do not normally get to eat out because I am allergic to so many things and I get sick so I am very serious when I say this is a great place to go . I had a strawberry and walnut salad ( I am not allergic to tree nuts) and I added grilled chicken( gluten free ) and it was so yum! Greens were nice and green and strawberries fresh! We had a lovely waiter who was kind and helpful.

Good location right across from the beach. Reasonable prices and gluten free options available. Kitchen will accommodate gf menu, just ask. Great service and relaxing atmosphere.

Jacob Kratt

Great food and good service. They were knowledgeable about gluten free options and very accommodating. They also allow dogs on the back patio which is nice if you’re vacationing with a dog. The oil for bread dipping was really good!

Hayley Gill

Gluten free and Vegan Cheese options!!

Mike Smith

Fantastic option for dinner. The pickle brined wing were some of the best I've EVER had! You don't taste pickles, so don't think of them that way. They're super tender and then smoked, I think. I could eat them for days. I got extra sauces to dip in. Sweet Thai and hot sauce. My wife had what looked like a very good acorn squash dish and I also loved the halibut special with green beans and mushrooms. Service was very good. The timing on dish delivery was perfect. The place was a bit empty for a Saturday night, but it was very early spring. Loved that they have gluten free options and know what is/isn't GF. I will return and recommend. The bar also looks decent for a pre-dinner drink.

Alina Muchnik

The most interesting restaurant we've found in Cape May. It had great seafood, meat, and vegan, and gluten free options cooked in tasty spices. It was highly enjoyed by adults and kids.

Stephanie

We love coming to the blue pig as a family for breakfast! Love the ambiance and food choices. However, it always surprises me at the lack of gluten free options. I have an allergy and able to accommodate because they do always ask about allergies. But like one review mentioned it's just surprising they don't have gluten free toast with breakfast/for sandwiches because Tommy's Folly has a gluten free pastry option. Otherwise love it!

Bob Marks

We were outside for lunch. Gluten free rolls and french fries are available. I loved my burger and drinks. Nice to see the boats in the marina.

Violet Alexandre

We've been coming here as a family now for two years and every visit has been great. The seafood is always super fresh and more than that they are very able to modify for my gluten sensitivity. You really can't go wrong if you visit and if you are lucky enough to have our favorite server, Joanne, then I know for sure you will have one of your best nights out! Joanne has gone above and beyond every time she has been our server. If she doesn't know the answer on a wine selection, etc. she gets the input and provides the input for the best decision.

Chris Lopez

Stopped in for a morning beverage. I got a blended vanilla chia latte, and we split a cinnamon roll. They heated it for us too the perfect temperature. The service was quick. They had some gluten free cookies that were great.

Morgan March

They have gluten free rolls and beer!!! The food was great and they had a nice list of local beers. I visited when they were packed and the staff was super nice and attentive.

Sandra Price

Wonderful food!! Friendly service!! We got the cauliflower tacos.. Best vegan tacos I've had since going meat free three years ago.. Authentic!! Many gluten free options as well. Delicious and you can sit under a Ajay tree outside! Bring tequila if you want to spice up the margarita.. It's a byot :) ❤

when we dined at this restaurant I made clear to our server that I have celiac’s disease which means I am allergic to wheat. Being in the food service industry means you should be well versed in food allergy information and cross contamination. I was given a steak with breaded onions on top and when I said to the server I can’t eat this he took the steak back and one minute later brought it back out with the onions removed. I repeated I cannot eat this if you just scraped the onions off it is cross contaminated and I was told there is nothing they can do. It is a $60 meal that was also over cooked. My husbands steak was over cooked as well. The table next to us had 4 steaks that where over cooked. The dining experience was very disappointing. If someone said they had a peanut allergy would you just say how whoops just wipe those off the plate ? No you could cause a serious health problem. Please better educate your staff and chef in regards to food allergy.

Really tasty lobster rolls, even going with the gluten-free, no-carb option, which is a lettuce wrap. In addition to these lobster rolls, we ordered lobster bisque and clam chowder, both of which are also gluten-free. Everything tasted great, although the lobster bisque was a little sweeter than expected. We'd definitely come back for more!

Renee Gilmore

Super good! Everything was fresh and delicious with gluten free options. Prices were reasonable as well. I ordered the yellow curry tofu and vegetables and the basil limeade. It was so good! I’m coming back here for sure.

I contacted Matt at Block Party to host a private dinner for a bachelorette party group. He was so helpful and considerate discussing the menu and pricing with me ahead of time. He even made the whole menu gluten free when I mentioned one person was intolerant (I was expecting just a few items to be GF). The meal was phenomenal (the pork tenderloin was unreal) and it was such a nice alternative to a typical CM restaurant meal out! It’s also BYOB, which is great! Highly recommend!

Marc Hamel

Great tasting ... gluten free pizza options. Friendly service.

Ann Stachenfeld

Absolutely succulent and they have a wonderful gluten free option with lettuce wrap.

Samantha D

What a great quick breakfast place! Great location! Kind and friendly and delish!! They are so accommodating, too. We had a little poodle with my family and the worker offered him a treat. He is a picky little dog and turned it down. She was determined to give him a treat so she whipped out 2 more options for our poodle to try. Even though he snubbed all 3 treats, it was so generous of her! What a good laugh. Then, even better, I brought my own Gluten Free bagel to see if I can get an Bacon Egg and Cheese on the side to put on my bagel myself. The owner (I think) offered to take my bagel for me and prepared me a delicious Bacon Egg and Cheese on my own GF bagel! (They do offer gluten free bread but I really wanted a bagel sandwich) I don't have cross contamination issues so this was perfect for me. It made me so happy! Thank you and can't wait to go back when we visit Cape May again. Next time, I'm trying the Lox ;)

Had lunch at Fins with my family and our dog on their dog friendly deck. Staff was very polite and accommodating to my wife, who has celiacs. Ambiance is wonderful. Cocktails are amazing 👏 The food was so delicious we came back for dinner 😋 . We highly recommend that you stop here when visiting Cape May,N.J

Fun seasonal breakfast spot on the beach. All omelets here are gluten free and staff is knowledgeable. My food came with fruit instead of toast.

All the way down at the bottom of New Jersey, on a road called Beach Avenue, is a restaurant which somehow manages to block out all of the amazing light and splendor of the beach. Sure, if you’re in New York City and going for a night out, I guess I understand why a dark and mysterious lounge feel would be appropriate. But, why have a restaurant right on the beach and then quite literally pull black shades across the view? Perhaps you get bored of looking out at the beach and the crashing waves when you live in this area but I would imagine most of the diners are visiting from out of town and are craving any additional time gazing at the ocean. Certainly something I will never understand. Our party of 6 had been sold in the reviews on what was apparently a delectable lobster roll, but given the restaurant is recently under new management the roll wasn't on the menu. That said, the food we did end up ordering was all artfully presented and amazingly tasty. The new owners share duties of waiting tables and chef-de-cuisine and are very pleasant. Our waiter, Michael, was attentive, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. We ordered a mix of appetizers which were all quite tasty but somewhat dainty. Tuna Poke Credo had absolutely beautiful cubes of tuna, and with about 6 we each got to taste one teeny tiny bite. So much room on the plate for more! Swordfish Crostini was tasty with an addition of mango if I recall which amped up the flavor. Lastly, the duck wings were both tasty and meaty and, since they're stacked on top of each other, you are able to play a quick round of Jenga before consuming. Highly recommended (both the wings and the Jenga). Entrées were artfully plated and delicious, however certainly on the expensive side. The crabcakes were among the most expensive dinner options and came with two rather large hockey pucks of fantasticness which were gluten-free and packed full of crab and were absolutely exquisite. Barramundi was lacking sufficient seasoning and sauce for our taste, and the texture for someone not familiar with barramundi was not what we had expected. Certainly not flaky, but also not dense like a Mahi Mahi - sort of in between. One comment for the chef - most of the entrées came with some sort of bean sprout shoot which neither added complementary flavor nor much in terms of decoration. I found it rather amusing that after we all essentially had licked our plates clean each plate still had one or two bean sprouts remaining. Perhaps a sprig of parsley would be more welcome and prettier and tastier too. Forgot to mention - this is a BYOB establishment and they’re happy to provide nice glasses as well as ice as needed. After dinner, unfortunately when we were there they were out of any gluten-free dessert options so we were unable to give them a shot, but for you gluten eaters the options seemed somewhat abbreviated but sounded potentially tasty. Overall, would recommend in terms of food, but still rather surprised at the lack of scenery given the location.

I love coming here. I really think the food is great and the prices are so affordable and you get large portions. I highly recommend coming here. The place is small and tight, but the great food just overcomes the tiny restaurant. The menu has a lot of healthy and gluten free options. The salads are wonderful. The pita and hummus are outstanding. I can't wait to go back!
