Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Hawaii

Hannah Merrifield

Celiac approved safe! Extremely tasty food, kept us well fed and safe from allergen contamination. Our family has allergies to gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, and we ate here without issue. The staff are warm and happy to double check ingredients. Plus, it is delicious! As anyone with allergies knows, delicious isn’t always an option. We ate here at least five times during our week stay in Maui. I loved it so much, I bought one of their cute tee shirts!

Stopped in for a coffee on my way from Two Step to Kona. The gluten free brownies tasted like the real deal and my iced Haupia Caramel latte was perfectly creamy and slightly sweet. Definitely add this to your list if you’re visiting.

We stopped by Lulu’s for lunch because they have a pretty robust selection of gluten free items, which seems hard to come by in Waikiki. We had a lot of trouble with our order - 2 of our drinks had to be remade, the eggs on my Lulu Moco were fried instead of the requested over easy, and we ended up with a fly in another drink.. BUT I’ll say Sage, the waiter, and the manager both handled it really well. Both were very on top of getting things remade and coming to check on us to make sure everything was fixed to liking. The food was also good, but the fish tacos were definitely the best thing any of us ordered.

Entirely gluten free kitchen. They have amazing tacos with homemade corn tortillas. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. All sauces and tacos are gluten free and celiac friendly. I have gone here everyday since being in Kappa — so good & highly recommend!!

I either have Celiac Disease or am just gluten sensitive (idk which). This place has gluten free cinnamon rolls, and they are FANTASTIC! You cannot tell they are gluten free. My only tip: The gluten free cinnamon rolls did not come warm and gooey like the regular cinnamon rolls did for other people in my party. HOWEVER, if you warm them up in the microwave, they’re fresh, hot, and gooey! Delicious! Oh, and BIG!

First the bad: We had a server who was new and when I asked if the fries were in a shared fryer, she got flustered and confused and she said, “Usually people who are gluten free know what they can and cannot eat.” It was pretty bad and I almost requested someone new, but later the manager came out to help us and talk us through the menu. Now the good: Good tacos. Shrimp and grits was excellent. They were out of GF buns so didn’t get to try the burger.

Erin Zipp

Best fish tacos ever -- and gluten free.

Christopher Worsfold

Great spot and cool seeing all the music memorabilia on display. Provides a Gluten Free Menu on request with GF burgers and some of the classics. Overall good service and a favourite dinner spot while visiting Hawaii.

After my spiel, they reassured me both over the phone and in person that they were able to serve Celiacs with confidence. It took me literally two bites and a speed run to the washroom to realize that was completely untrue. I left the meal 98% untouched, and informed the server that the food had made me ill and that we needed to pay ASAP so I could go back to my private hotel bathroom. Paid for everything and left in tears - the staff didn’t even apologise or offer to comp my meal. Was a great last night for our vacation. Slay Noi Thai

HikariSuk

The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.

Trevor Hammer

Awesome burger place, everything is made to order. Gluten free options available.

Romina C

I ordered gluten-free and it was delicious! Highly recommended!

Dave Whitaker

Great spot for sushi. Just needs a few more options for gluten free. All in all a great experience nonetheless.

Aubrey Ledyard

Absolutely delicious! Loved this place for its great sushi, gluten free options, and cute atmosphere. Definitely recommend for gluten free!

Megan Fisher

Five stars isn't enough - our experience here was truly exceptional! The gluten-free options were plentiful, and our waiter intuitively knew to bring my husband gluten-free starters without us even asking. The view was breathtaking, the atmosphere was lively and fun, and the live music added the perfect touch. The food was outstanding, and we left feeling thrilled with our choice

Well to be honest, Cool Cat Cafe wasn't so cool for me. The waiter came to the table, we talked about the menu, ordered some drinks, then he left. Maybe 15-20 minutes later he came to get our food order. He was apologetic for the delay. Another person delivered the order, and I asked her to confirm that my burger had a gluten free bun on it. She didn't know so she went and asked our waiter. Our waiter came apologizing that the wrong bun was used. So back it went. In the end, my wife and I weren't too thrilled with our $68 meal.

If you're a celiac visiting Maui, rest assured that this is a safe breakfast stop for you with many gluten free options! The owners are kind people who take celiac disease very seriously and are able to provide quality breakfasts that fueled several days of hiking and snorkeling for me!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Trisha Hariani

Lots of gluten free options!

Sin Arj

FIVE STARS! I'm vegetarian and my friend is gluten free and pretty much all their food catered to both of us. Fresh. Healthy. Delicious. Unique food. Lovely staff. Cosy atmosphere. Coming again and again for sure. 100% recommend.

Pilar Orellana

A very pleasant and special place. We received excellent service. They have a special gluten-free menu, and the waitress advised us on the best dishes and answered all our questions about local fish. The food was very good, and the portions were generous.

Brooke Herrmann

Absolute adorable outdoor dining right in Oceanview. Kevin is kind, professional, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. The whole menu is gluten free and they also have a few great vegetarian options 🙂

Chrystal Drinkwater

Best local organic foods in Hilo. Lots of options for Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. The people are down to earth and kind. If you eat meat, they are very conscious about where they get the meat. The best Kombucha I have ever had. From the homemade cultured hot sauce to the gluten free dairy free brownies and banana splits, they do it right. Weds night they have Kava, open mic and pizza made with ancient grain organic flour. Owners are also very cool. 😎

Nanette Gefreh

Wonderful gluten free food choices including an incredible dessert! A great treat!

Rebecca Sorgini

So good!! I am celiac which means I am gluten-free and I must also avoid cross contamination. This restaurant not only served me fries from a dedicated fryer, but I also enjoyed the crispiest, most delicious roasted chicken I have had in a long time. Cashier was knowledgeable about celiac, and they changed their gloves and everything while preparing my meal. Also, good prices compared to other restaurants in the area. Wonderful! Would definitely recommend not just for celiacs but anyone who wants a delicious meal.

Riley McWilliams

Amazing beach-side restaurant! The food was great, and our waiter, Kobe, was amazing! He was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and my friend's nut allergy and gave us all the info and accommodations that we needed.

Hayley George

Great flavor - one of our best meals on the island. Very accommodating of gluten free/dairy free dietary needs.

Audrey Palmer

Food was delicious! Services was excellent. Our server, Julia, was friendly, efficient and helpful. My husband and I are both celiac and they understood and made sure our food was safe for us. Would highly recommend!

Gina C

Came here because a gluten free wrap option was specifically mentioned by the owners in these reviews. They do not offer a gluten free wrap so don't expect to get that here. They offer gluten free bread but not exactly the same when you are looking for a breakfast burrito. They also advertise online ordering with no options to select gluten free substitutes. Disappointed.

Aaron Morse

Fantastic fine dining experience with excellent, beachfront ambiance and many gluten-free options.

Kevin Sparrow

Don’t sleep on this place. One of the best breakfasts in Maui. Super chill atmosphere and the server was amazing. If you are looking for a gluten free and celiac safe spot, this is the place.

Aidan S

We came to this restaurant excited for the food based off recommendations from online and gluten free forums. My wife has celiac and we made that clear with our waitress Sarah. Sarah was kind to us but was a little slow on service even though it didn't seem incredibly busy. We waited about 5-10 minutes to get seated and then another 5-10 minutes to get water and menus. Then we waited about 20 minutes before our order was taken and drinks refilled. Sarah was knowledgeable about the menu and provided some recommendations which we trusted. I got the Zesty Coconut Catch and my wife ordered the Soy Wasabi Local Catch gluten free. The food took about 10-15 to get to our table but the lady running it gave it to the table next to us first and then to us. The food was superbly mediocre. Not great not bad. Super dissapointing to spend $100 on food that wasn't good. The only thing I have to compliment is the fish was cooked well. Overall not a bad place but super dissapointed at the quality for the price.

dcDalton

This was our first time going to three's bar and grill. We waited for less than 10 minutes for a table outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For those with Celiac or gluten issues a separate is available. I ordered blackened fish which was one of the best fish I've had. We had a great dinner. You get 20% off your next meal with receipt.

Sanja Cvetanovic

I was looking for a gluten-free poke and I got it. Super tasty. Lineups in February were long, but it is unbelievable how quickly you get your order once you order it.

Elena Gonzales

I'm so thankful we found this place! Love their gluten-free in-house made bread. It doesn't taste gluten-free, and the texture is like regular bread! Big plus for me. The food was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner here. Staff was friendly.

Bill Cole

They have one Gluten Free meal. Fish Tacos. Which were really good.

Sarah O’Reilly

Great gluten free poke (for coeliac traveller) with vegetarian option of tofu and gf soy sauce. Every server had great awareness of what was gluten free and how to reduce possible cross contamination. Felt very safe eating here

Grace Attalla

Our go to place for food on Maui! Super friendly family owned place that is also great with dietary accommodations (gluten free). Definitely recommend! Great for food before the airport.

Sarah Be

Loved our experience here, beachside, sunsets, tasty food. Another reason for the top review is the quantity and quality of gluten free offerings,

Craig Froehle

Good food. Very accommodating of celiac. Yummy. Friendly. Good service. Really yummy drinks.

Kitty C

Tasty food, large portions, 100% gluten free!

Hailey

Fish tacos were good! They had corn tortillas for us gluten free people.

Ryan Barden

The pizza here is outstanding! Their gluten-free option stands out because it’s handmade, unlike the standard 10” frozen crust you find at most other restaurants. It’s easily the best gluten-free pizza we’ve ever had.

Adam Lang

Kilauea Bakery has the best gluten free pastries and pizzas!

David Schultz

Ambiance: Very cool garden setting. Live music at certain times. Overall an great atmosphere. Tends to be very busy. I'm giving it four stars, though, because they try to rush people through in 60 minutes to accommodate the next seating. They pushed us to order right away and then brought out our salad and entree at the same time. Wait: We waited 10 minutes with a reservation. Without a reservation, you're rolling the dice. Can be hard to get reservations during the peak season. Food: Good, but nothing special enough to justify the price. "Keoki's Style" fish was just ono with some pesto and a sweet glaze. The kale salad was quite good. They have happy hour specials 4-5, but if you come in with a 4:45 reservation, they won't allow you to order them. You have to arrive earlier than that. Drinks: The cocktails here are unique and good, but incredibly sugary. I would recommend them if that's your style. Prices range from $17-$25 per drink. Service: The front of the house generally did a good job, except that they served us a dish that I was allergic to after I told them about my gluten allergy. When I looked at the dish and asked the server to confirm that it was gluten free, she immediately apologized and took it away.

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

Bethany Flickinger

Had to ask the waiter about gluten free but he knew exactly what I could eat! 10/10 recommend! The best service I’ve ever experienced and everyones dish was delicious!

Luis

Great place very peaceful, the fruit, the pizza everything is good. Gluten-free fig pizza is awesome 👌🏽

Liv Campbell

The food was amazing. I'm glad we made a stop for more local caught seafood. The service was very friendly, but I was a little disappointed to not receive my side dish. I had to order gluten-free, and was told I would get mixed greens, but instead I just got three full scoops of furikake rice. Delicious. But more rice than I needed. The food was great and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Semi casual inside. A nice place to enjoy a family dinner. Definitely stop at Umekes for poke. I was really happy to try the gluten-free Hawaiian poke. It was a generous helping of high quality, delicate and buttery fish with some tasty seasonings. Yum!

Chalise Grogan

Gluten-free (and can be made dairy-free) arepas! Excellent food and great shaded seating area. Worth a stop.
