Top 9 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Wildwood Crest

Bridget Corry Morse

Delicious breakfast at the beach edge. One had breakfast sandwich, one had 2 eggs and sausage, two split a sandy special. Sausage very good! Gluten free pancakes cooked perfectly. Over easy eggs perfect. Scrambled eggs done right. All breakfasts came out together. Coffee refills. Wait staff attentive. Highly recommended.

Fantastic! Every single time our meal has exceeded our expectations!!! Cannot beat sun dog for a beachside lunch. Oceanside covered patio is a bonus on this hidden gem. Steak Tacos- 5 stars. Taco salad - 5 stars. Superfood salad- 5 stars. French fries - 5 stars. They offer the chicken fingers gluten free as well and corn tacos instead of flour which are fresh and fantastic! Cannot wait to visit again next year on our annual WWC vacay!

Awesome café! The workers are so sweet. As for their breakfast sandwich with a gluten free bun? Incredible. The gluten free bun was so flaky, almost like the consistency of a biscuit. Everything tasted fresh and not overly salty/unhealthy. The iced coffee was the best I’ve had down in wildwood! Very smooth, not at all sour (unfortunately, I’ve only had sour and gross coffee down in wildwood for the past two years 😭. It’s been brutal). Highly recommend this adorable spot! 🥰

Our extended family visited Bandanas in June and we had the best time! Our daughter has celiac and we saw awesome gluten-free options on the menu. They were extremely careful with our her food and showed genuine concern. We spoke with the owner on the way out and he shared with us that a family member of his also had celiac and it was important to him to make sure they offered gluten free options along with taking the proper precautions in the kitchen. Our entire table loved their food and the service was super friendly. We cannot wait to go back next summer! Stop-in the next time you're in town! 🌮

Great view. Expensive (little side salad $5). Great drinks. decent portions. If you don't like (or can't eat) garlic don't go here. EVERYTHING is loaded with garlic. Garlic mashed with almost every entree (no substitutions), garlic on the chef's vegetables, garlic in the stuffed seafood. Why so much garlic? Dinner was overall good, but it was because our server Ally went above and beyond for me. I have a garlic allergy (yes I know, awful) and I'm gluten free. She went to the other restaurant side and got me a potato herself after the kitchen couldn't accommodate a substitution. Filet mignon was good. I was hoping for seafood but seemed everything had gluten in it. breaded this, stuffed that, etc. I don't recommend going here if you have dietary restrictions because without the fantastic service from Ally I would've not been able to eat much.

We popped in for take out. The menu options were limited for gluten free options but I opted for a chef salad. (No bad effects!) The salad size was IMPRESSIVE! (It was basically an investment, for a three day weekend.) The other 5 meals we ordered were GREAT! Every person in our group was impressed. Burgers and fries, salads, and chicken parm. THE GARLIC BREAD, I was told, was LUSTFUL!lol.

WOW! This place has to be on your MUST TRY list if you are visiting Wildwood NJ. We went on a recommendation from a friend on the first morning we were there... and every morning after that! Fresh squeezed orange juice is incredible 🧡 I had the veggie omelet (I am gluten free) my kids had the everything bagel with cream cheese and the Nutella banana bagel (splurge!! 👈 Amazing) Speaking of splurging... My husband got the Lox bagel on the last day and he said it was the most delicious thing he ever ate.... Um, not taking any offense over here. 🤷‍♀️ Everything bagel, toasted, cream cheese, tons of lox, onion, capers, and slices of cucumbers. HEAVEN.

Delicious and a gluten free toast option!

Let me just start by saying - There is absolutely no reason for this Cafe to have anything less than 10 stars!! From the moment we stepped foot on site, we were greeted with smiles and warm welcomes! We were seated almost immediately, and our drink order came no longer than 30 seconds after. After scoping the menu for what felt like forever (only because I wanted one of everything) I finally came to the decision on an egg white omelette with bacon, mozzarella, peppers and onions - side of GLUTEN FREE toast, and home fries! I am very picky with how food is prepared and everything on the plate far surpassed my expectations. The omelette was not only enormous and delicious but had such aesthetic appeal. The home fries were crispy and very blatantly made with love. Having the option of gluten free toast is what made this meal all the more accommodating and delightful. The butter was whipped and so easy to spread! My girl friend had the eggs benedict, and I'm not sure she said a word until the plate was clean. (It was THAT good). Please see the pictures I've attached as they look like they belong in a magazine! Thank you so much to J, he sweet and ADORABLE daughter, his cousin (our waitress) and the rest of the family for providing such a lovely place to dine. We will definitely be back when we visit wildwood again!! Please support this family run business for years to come, you will not be disappointed!! Amazing GENUINE people and FANTASTIC FOOD!!
