Top 41 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots Across Downtown Jersey City

Corinne Esposito

The entrees are very gluten-free friendly. All sandwiches and wraps can be made with gluten-free breads. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable - he told me their fryers aren’t dedicated to just French fries and gave me a salad on the side instead.

It is amazing to be able to order pizza that is both gluten free and vegan.

Lexi Shaw

This place has a lot of great gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options, with no modifications needed since the dishes are already made that way. My favorites are the Al Pastor and Brussel Sprout tacos, really flavorful! Their tortilla chips are also pretty good. There has always been tables available when we’ve gone, and the service has always been fast.

The server was very nice, was seated right away, but took a long time to receive our food. I ordered gluten free pancakes and they were disappointing. They were dry, rough, no flavor, and flat. Did not look good at all. Worse tasting gf pancakes I've ever had.

Kerry Leccese

GF crepes are amazing!

Carolina Wente

This is the second time that I had their nuggets and for the second time my stomach hurts. It says gluten free, however it feels exactly like when I eat gluten.

Jessica Sage

Good tunes, good people, good food. Sometimes I carry out, sometimes I stay in. Everything on the menu is tasty, and lots of gluten free options for my GF friends

Sakshi Pande

Gluten free pancakes too good, must have. Will come back to try other dishes too.

Alexis Teresi

Hudson and Co. has always been good to and my dietary restrictions. They have a nice selection of gluten free options and staff is always friendly. Every time we go, their Manager Dala goes above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of! He’s our favorite part of the experience! He’s friendly, funny, caring and attentive! We love Dala and will always come back as long as he’s there!

Jason Brinkerhoff

Very friendly and the food was both beautifully presented and quote delicious. There are many gluten free options, it was difficult to choose! I will definitely be back.

DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY I went here with friends for dinner on a Saturday night and I’m still regretting that choice 5 days later. I usually don’t write reviews, but given how sick I’ve been after eating here, I’m going to be incredibly detailed. Our server (who was also the hostess) was really pleasant once we were seated. I asked her if they have gluten free pasta and she said yes and also alerted me that the meatball appetizer is made with breadcrumbs in it. I really appreciated her looking out for me. When she told me about the meatballs I said “eh one meatball won’t kill me” - maybe that was my grave mistake. While we were waiting for our food, I noticed that the menu had a large disclaimer on it, that “all pasta dishes are served al dente”. I thought that was weird considering most places serve their pasta al dente…. When my meal finally came out the pasta was legitimately crunchy. It wasn’t cooked through at all. I felt bad, but I asked the waitress/hostess if they could remake it… then the manager comes over and tries to explain to me what “Al dente” means. I didn’t want to argue, but expressed again that it was undercooked and some of the noodles were straight up HARD. She rolled her eyes as she took my plate away. Fast forward: my new dish comes out and the manger comes back to again explain to me how pasta is boiled for some reason and emphasized that they shouldn’t overcook pasta? Whatever- I say thank you for the new dish - I eat my meal and it’s significantly better than the first time. 30 minutes later I start feeling really sick… while I can’t confirm it, I’m almost certain they served me regular pasta the second time around. I’m not celiac, but I have a pretty severe gluten allergy. I ate ONE meatball as my “cheat” meal of the day. Some breadcrumbs usually leads to a LITTLE discomfort for a few hrs. After eating that pasta, Ive been sick for 5 days with all the telltale signs of eating a large quantity of gluten. Sever stomach cramps, joint pain all over my body, bloating, swollen hands and feet. I was bedridden for the entire day after eating here. Again, I can’t prove anything but my suspicion is that they gave me regular pasta bc of my comment about eating the meatball or bc I complained about my original dish? Either way… the manager is rude af and they have a weird obsession with “Al dente” pasta. Sidenote: my friends didn’t enjoy their meals either. Their red sauce is pretty bland according to her.

I'm embarrassed to say it was the first time visiting in my 20+ years living in downtown JC. Even worse, I've been to every other taco place and this was my last to visit. If you're getting takeout, I'd recommend another taco spot but if you're eating in-person definitely visit. We had the shrimp ceviche and Carne tacos (5 minis w/ rice & beans for $17, super economical) for food. For drinks, we enjoyed 'The Neil' margarita (w/ one Marlee thrown in) and bubbles option. The waitors were extremely helpful and familiar with the menu. Celiac Annie felt at home and was able to partake in all the food options mentioned. I cannot wait to come back. Total package... Presentation, atmosphere food, and drinks...

Skinners loft was fun. My dining mate has severe food allergies, and they verified that the fryer wasn't cross contaminating with gluten. Super awesome. Most restaurants can't do that. My dinner had hiccups. I got the watermelon salad, and the lettuce was bad. They fixed it and comped the salad part. Service was impeccable throughout this. The salmon was perfectly cooked, also. I'll definitely go back. They had some organic options, the fish was wild. Yea, good stuff!

Chantal Lamour

Solid burger, nice establishment, relaxed atmosphere. Gluten free buns available too ❤

We’re gluten free and this still fits the bill!! Super good GF options for pizza and sandwiches. My husband almost cried, he was so excited to eat your GF Philly Cheesesteak. Only had delivery (three times now) and it was very prompt.

Anh M Nguyen

A small cute asian fusion brunch restaurant. The portions are decent. You get a lot of food and vegetables. I guarantee you get full after finishing your meal. Every bites were filled with flavor. I recommend trying their vermicelli bowl. They have more western options such as breads and eggs too. There are options for vegetarians and gluten free. The coffee could be stronger. Staffs are nice and welcoming.

Trish S

A wonderful atmosphere with delicious food! The mimosas are excellent, and they offer a diverse range of cocktails. There are also good gluten-free options available. Don't forget to make a reservation in advance.

Natalie Rosborough

Blown away by this little spot! The place itself is decorated beautifully and the staff was super friendly. We ordered the pao de quiejo, Amazon salad, salmon, vegan stew, and chicken stroganoff. Everyone loved their meal. The flavors were outstanding and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. There’s no other place like it downtown. As someone who is gluten free, I was thrilled to see that I could have more than half of the menu. My partner who is vegan also had plenty of options. Highly recommend coming here for a great meal.

Ally Lowell

Ordered the pad Thai as gluten free and can easily say this is the best pad Thai I’ve ever had. And the staff was knowledgeable about the gluten allergy

Gluten UNFRIENDLY - Nestled in the Jersey City Arts District, this sushi spot is one of the few in Jersey city which claims fresh sushi. However after dining there today inquiring about Gluten free options we were told that 1) Almost all their food is pre made in the morning - very limited items are prepared fresh 2) the Chef does not support customizations even for food allergies. The wait staff was not knowledgeable of the menu and had to check with the kitchen on multiple times just to advise what was gluten free. Even items like oysters which are naturally gluten free cannot be prepared gluten free as all oysters are shucked in the morning and pre made before the restaurant opens including all topping. When asked if it was safe for oysters to sit out all day the wait staff shared they are pre-made and sit on ice. The sushi is delicious if you are not Celiac but I cannot advise the oysters either way based on the staff’s preparation comments.

Elaisa Tamaro

Very nice flat white with a delicious gluten free chocolate brownie! 😋

Rex Accavallo

Really nice spot. Semi limited gluten free options and nothing is clearly marked GF on the menu (however vegan is marked). Food was good but not amazing, prices are a tad high for the food I feel. Great atmosphere though, nice place. The waitress was very sweet (Erika) she was great

Jessi Dunham

Cannot express my love for Hybrid enough! Evan and his team are awesome. They make sure they know you and your order. I go here almost daily for my iced matcha latte. Great matcha. All the baristas are genuinely friendly - Mikey, Michelle, Gabe and Mel. Evan has been working on gluten-free donuts which I had the pleasure of trying and they did not disappoint. Also, if you see the pao de quejo definitely order. Clearly, I'm obsessed

Audrey Tappan

The host is on their business! Well run place. Gluten free bread is A1 and I could drink the sangria for the rest of my life.

Blanca Jimenez

Very accomodating to my sisters gluten allergy, wonderful service, great food, 100/10 place all around

Charming Neighborhood Cafe with a Personal Touch Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, this cafe exudes warmth and charm. Its cozy size often leads to a wait, but patience pays off here. We ordered the special omelet of the day, featuring asparagus and Swiss cheese. My gluten-free friend was thoughtfully accommodated with a generous fruit bowl in place of bread. While their lattes were a delightful pick-me-up, their known for pistachio croissant - this is a must-try. The icing on the cake? The friendly owner, who, even amidst his culinary duties, takes the time to mingle with guests, ensuring everyone's experience is nothing short of awesome.

Best Pizzeria in Jersey City and they serve authentic chop cheese doesn’t get more better than this. And if your in the need for gluten free pizza you will find this your second home. And this is Muslim friendly establishment 100% halal.

I saw this place had a full Irish and I needed it you see because the last one I had was lacking, no puddings, which, it's not like they're my favorite thing but if you're gonna full Irish then go ahead and Irish me fully. And they did. It was delicious food, the breading on the tomato was a nice touch. I ate it too quickly. They had a Brewdog IPA (Elvis Juice) that went well with it, and then let me do a black magic (Guinness and Magic Hat #9). They were also nice enough to let me move to a bigger table outside when my friends joined for some drinks along with a hairy baby! Oh and they have a gluten free beer for my partner who said it was great. She wouldn't let me have any it was so good (not true, I was perfectly content with what I ordered). Ten for ten would recommend. Heck I'll take you just to go again. I do wish it wasn't only a brunch thing though.

Vaughn Lindquist

Always a tasty meal in quick turnover restaurant. Consistently good quality and a good variety of menu. I'm gluten free, so i appreciate the variety of choice.

Kimberly Agarwal

I like that they have gluten free ramen. I got the spicy pepper ramen and it was very flavorful and delicious

Christina Maldonado

We love this place, family owned and they are the most lovely people. Sushi is so fresh and food is always so great. My colleague is gluten free and they always make sure to never cross contaminate! We always order the drunken noodle, chicken teriyaki, loads of rolls, and we just tried the mango sticky rice and oh boy it was a winner!

Sandy Valentin

Nice gluten free options. Friendly service and decent prices.

Pryce Mandel

Asia OB

The food was sooo good and fresh, lots of options for gluten free eating, the combinations of curry’s are incredible there

KrisKat Meow

The Corner Pho is on the corner everyone knows and loves for great Vietnamese food. You come here for a quick bite or Dinner with the family. Recently, I came here to host a party for my dad's birthday which was held in the bar area. They have a lot of options to choose from which also includes gluten-free and vegetarian options. It's plated nicely. Throughout the process, Quang was very clear in communication and everything was very simple to plan! We had Spring Rolls, Tofu Summer Rolls, Shrimp Summer Rolls, Shrimp Papaya Salad, Vegetable Fried Rice, Vegetable Pan-fried soft noodles, Beef Rolls, Fried Squid, Grilled Pork, Grilled Short Ribs. Delicious!

Random Opera

I'm so glad this place opened in my neighborhood! I am on a keto and gluten-free diet, so it's hard to find asian restaurants that cater to my needs. Zhang Liang works perfectly for my diet. I just avoid the sauces and bring my own tamari. The food is delicious! I especially like the tomato soup base. I also love how simple the process is to order. You walk in, grab a bowl and tongs, take whatever ingredients you want and bring it to the counter and pay, done! Everything about the experience is easy and satisfying.

Ella Thompson

Lots of gluten free options, staff is knowledgeable and super nice!

Jessica McGlynn

An awesome place to check out if you have vegetarian/gluten free people in your party. So many options and definitely worth the reasonable cost!
