Top 17 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in City Center, Durham

Margo Taussig Pinkerton

I was shocked to see a negative review from a gluten-free person. I, too, am gluten free, and I have found them to always be very accommodating, including the non-soy soy sauce that they bring without my having to ask. We have eaten at M Sushi many times over the time since they first opened their doors next to The Durham, and we have never had anything but a superb experience. There are always differences of opinion, but we love M Sushi and will be heading there for our 25th wedding anniversary with the people who designed Mike's space.

Great gluten free options

Man listen! These Fuel Balls are amazing! I definitely feel energized. Even my headache went away. The smoothies are good. The gluten free bread is actually tasty. It’s a bit on the pricy side.

Carolina Conde

Vegeterian, vegan, gluten-free, and carnivorous options. Alcohol and alcohol-free drinks, with wines, cocktails, and beers to choose from. Kid's menu AND, ice-cream cake. Cozy area with books to read or buy, or both; a free podcast studio - how cool is that? 😎 Oh, and with a $2 donation, you can get yourself polaroided and immortalize yourself in the wall above the bar.

Fantastic ramen, gluten free noodles were yummy. Cauliflower is next level! Musubi was nostalgic, used to live in Hawaii and it took me back. Love the vibe! Everything we had was yummy!

Came in today for lunch, the lass behind the counter made eye contact and turned around to continue prepping something. We were the only people in line to order. Her coworker nudged her so we could order, she persisted doing something (he wasn't doing anything and said he couldn't help us) and then took several minutes to turn around and engage us. We waited for 10 minutes. I asked a basic question about the WF (wheat free) tags being different than what they show online (which is GF Gluten Free, and not the same thing, I'm Celiac) and she just kept saying I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what that is. It was awful. It was disheartening and I was embarrassed, we turned around and left.

Gluten free pizzas are great here!

Alex Lipinski

Excellent food and service! Lots of gluten free options

Kara Hardin

So many gluten free options, and clearly marked as gluten free, omit toast, or shares fryer oil. The paella was so amazing but the dark chocolate orange ice cream…I may come back just for that

Rachel Robison

They have an amazing brunch! Super gluten-free friendly, delicious food, great atmosphere, and the nicest staff. I have Celiac’s and Lavina was so kind and helpful, answering all my questions and making sure our whole group had a fantastic brunch. Can’t wait to go back!

Delicious panini on gluten free bread. Small, cozy place in the heart of Durham.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine: Parking: 5 Location: 5 Decor/ambiance: 5 Customer Service: 5 I feel that Poke is still a new concept to many of us and if you haven't had the chance to indulge yet, check out these guys. We heard that these guys where the original poke burrito creators. They created a video of a poke burrito that went viral and Durham has NC's very first location! Yesterday we checked them out and where highly impressed! They have these amazing kale noodles that leave you feeling so full yet they are super healthy. We also grabbed an Hawaiian Classic Poke Burrito which was jam packed with Ahi Tuna! Everything was so fresh and tasty. Are you vegan, vegetarian, gluten free... they have options for you here! Their "build your own" option gives you 100s of combinations you can put together. Lastly - these guys have a dining room that is open and they are on all of the major delivery apps! *Tip- For you raw seafood lovers check out the Hawaiian Ahi and Spicy Ahi. They are both crowd pleasers. Don't care for raw? Check out the Ginger Chicken with Kale noodle ... it's so amazing!

Best Indian Food I have had in my life. The atmosphere, food, vibes. Everything was wonderful. I’m so happy they have a large selection of Vegan/Gluten Free food. Our server Kiana I believe her name was. So sorry if I’m spelling it wrong. She was amazing, knowledgeable, and so kind. Will definitely be back !

Delicious Mexican dishes with tons of GLUTEN FREE options! Amazing cocktails! An interesting number of tamarind based cocktails, all excellently executed. Excellent service!
