Top 35 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Somerville

Mark Dipsey

Ordered delivery from here on Sunday. The food showed up and we were missing 3 full meals, and one burger which was ordered with a gluten free bun and noted a gluten allergy was on a regular bun. Tried calling the restaurant multiple times and they just never picked up the phone. Finally I called the Cambridge location and spoke to a manager who said he’d get in touch with the Davis Square manager and someone would get back to me, but I have still heard nothing

This extraordinary piece of Venezuela attracts a beautifully diverse demographic while tucked away in the heart of Somerville, Massachusetts, within the entertaining Aeronaut Brewery. The lovely and talented owner, Carolina, prepares the most authentic Venezuelan cuisine you will find. Succulent and savory, decadent and delicious are only a few words that describe the menu here. She also offers gluten free, vegan, and meat lover options. The chefs are charming and delightful preparing tasty treats while the crowd laughs over an amusing game of trivia. Apex highly recommends stopping in and trying a renowned rice bowl, enticing arepas, and tempting táquenos! This is time and money well spent!

Stopped in before a movie with my boyfriend, Stephanie was a great bartender super friendly and knowledgeable and took extra care of me with my gluten allergy. Extra points to earls in general for havin gluten free calamari!!

I can't rave enough about Spoke, nor could I possibly count the number of times I've enjoyed their incredible food, drinks, and hospitality. This is our special occasion place *and* our neighborhood place (I admit it's appropriately a little expensive, so it's slightly more on the special occasion side), and it's the place where we know we're going to regularly be blown away. We've brought friends from out of town, and each time they've marveled at the experience. On occasion there might be a dish that we might not love as much as the others, but I appreciate that the chefs are always pushing boundaries and being creative. Also, for such a thoughtful and yet small menu, there are great options for vegetarians, gluten-free folks, and vegans. (I brought a friend from London who can't eat gluten and she was in seventh heaven.) I'm almost reluctant to tell you how much I love it because I want to be able to get in, but I also want them to always be around!

Awesome options for gluten free here and the bread substitute they use is one of the best I've had in the area, so I would love to come back for the food! Only downside is if you're really into coffee the drip coffee here I think is premade since it came out too quickly to be hand poured and didn't really have the flavour profile that the beans they use could offer, so I'll be skipping the coffee. Matcha was pretty good though.

Gluten free bowls and tacos are awesome.

A sweet little cafe for lunch. Gluten free sandwich options along with delicious smoothies and drinks.

Came in around 7 pm on a Saturday night and got a table for 3 right away! It is not too fancy and I would describe it as more of an upscale casual restaurant. As a gluten free person, this restaurant has tons of options and all of the fried foods are already made naturally gf so there’s plenty of dishes to choose from. They also gave me gluten free dinner rolls when they brought the bread by! I ordered the lobster roll and had it on a gluten free bun (you can also ask for a lettuce wrap). The waitress felt like my gf lobster roll looked smaller than my brother’s regular lobster roll (even though they said they weigh out each portion), so they brought me an extra portion of lobster to make up for it! All that to say, we really enjoyed our experience at Legal Sea Foods and will definitely be back!

Love the gluten free options!

This was incredibly easy to give a 5 star, here’s why. We got two plates, the “Fit for a King or Queen” and a Make-your-own breakfast sandwich with grilled mashed potatoes on the side. Here’s everything important you need to know: the bacon melts in your mouth and is absolutely delicious. The grilled mashed is a staple here, it’s buttery and addictive. They have great gluten free options including pancakes, English muffins, and toast. Everything was amazing and I’ll be back soon.

Awesome spot! Our server (Luisa?) was fantastic - very kind and attentive. The menu is marked for all different allergens and they have a separate fryer for gluten-free (the pit-spiced fries are so good!). Great vibes, great drink selection, and really good food.

I was looking for restaurants near to my house and this place came up in my search. Their gluten free bread as an option for the breakfast sandwich had me sold! Also they had some gf bakery treats. I got a large matcha latte too. Everything was delivered quickly and more importantly everything was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Omg I couldn’t even believe it. It’s so hard to find good gf stuff. 10/10 will order again.

Loved the food. Quick service Food is very tasty. They do have vegetarian and gluten free options on menu. Bento box is only lunch menu till 3pm. Paid Parking on street side or garage just around the corner.

This place has been saving me from hunger since its food truck days. I’m gluten free so I make sure to mention it - and sometimes they will ask unprompted if I have a food allergy. My favorite item to get is the nachos without jalapeño peppers. It’s still got a nice spice to it and it is filling. They’ve also recently started offering a chocolate horchata and buzzy (aka with coffee) horchata drink that just hits the spot on a hot day. The atmosphere is chill, lots of cool stuff on the walls and always great music playing. Bathrooms available as well.

Good gluten free pizza

Susan McGuire

Gluten free pizza was good, although very small for the price. Our regular pizza did not have a decent amount of cheese.

Katie

This place is fabulous! Great food, reasonable prices, and delicious cocktails. Also tons of options for folks with celiac/gluten free.

Juliana Casale

As previously stated, I am a sucker for subterranean spots. I dig the basement vibe, the extensive beer list, the range of sauce choices and the no-nonsense waitstaff. My eyes are usually bigger than my head at Redbones (especially with the afforable pricing), but that is absolutely not the restaurant's fault -- good thing ribs tend to hold up as leftovers! Pro Tip: Gluten free options are available if you ask :).

Hannah Haslam

I ordered the Broadway bowl, and I was disappointed that the vegetables were basically raw, the cheddar cheese was sprinkled on top and not melted, and there was some sort of liquid at the bottom, not sure what that was. It was supposed to come with toast, and I asked for gluten-free toast, but they were out. The people I dined with were equally unimpressed with their meals. They charge $6 for a tiny glass of orange juice. It was $100 for four of us for breakfast before tip. For that much, I would expect something incredible. Would definitely not ever come back.

Ben Wiener

Loved the food and experience. I have a gluten allergy and there was plenty to eat. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

Kimberly M

The food was great, we tried so many things but somehow I only managed to take a picture of the deviled eggs. The fried rice and cochinita tacos were my favorites. I really appreciated their allergen marked menus, made ordering with Celiac a breeze.

Priscilla Zhang

They have gluten free waffles with no cross contamination, so that is what I get every time from here. Absolutely delicious food.

Cozy and intimate! I absolutely love their Turmeric lattes and their espresso is great. Gluten free friendly, which is always a plus!

100 Days left! Go checkem out if you haven’t! ALSO THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE NOODLES! what more could you ask for as a celiac!? Congratulations on 900 days, and see you around :)

Rita Walsh

Wonderful, fresh and SCRUMPTIOUS fare to be had at texture is perfect! The meat eaters in my party had only good things to say as well. The only thing better than the food is the customer service 👍😍👍 I placed an order for 20 people, including some vegans, a person with a fish allergy and someone with celiac disease, the way management addressed my concerns made for a relaxed and delightful dinner. Bravo 👏 Siam Ginger!

French fries in an omelette?! Yes, please. This breakfast was the bomb, and the cocktails were equally as amazing. The menu doesn't label their GF options, but they do have a designated gluten free fryer and quite a few safe options for brunch. The lemon chicken wings were also SO GOOD. Really enjoyed the vibe here, hope to be back soon!

My partner and I live right across the street from Mike and Patty’s and it’s become a bit of a staple in our house. When I’m not ordering sandwiches there, I’ll pick up their English muffins and house mayo to use at home. Service is always speedy and very friendly. While I still make regular stops there, my only wish is that they had more gluten free (celiac safe) options. My partner used to be able to dine there regularly until their menu changed to allow space for more fried foods and cross contaminants. She misses the hash browns so much! Overall, I’m a big fan and excited to see what else M&P’s has in store.

Joseph Rowell

Gluten free pastry options went great with some fine brew.

Dan Amirault

It was my first time trying Detroit-style pizza and I really enjoyed it. The staff accommodated food allergies and dietary restrictions well. Loved to see non-alcoholic and gluten free beer available too. Vegan cheese is available for the pizza. I’ll have to come back and try some of the other veg-friendly options they have.

Felicia Rodrigues

First time trying this! They have gluten-free options for the most part (pupusas and tacos). I ordered the 3 pupusas dish, 1 bean and chesse (plain, nothing special), 1 Birria and chesse (better in tacos I guess. Not that good) and 1 revueltas (OK flavor) It was very mediocre, nothing special honestly. You can go to east Boston for better pupusas or cristians in Somerville. 15 dollars isn't worth it. I'm sorry. Maybe come get the pupusas here for convenience of location. I wouldn't recommend. My husband order the chicken and fries. He said the fries had a nice crispy crunch but the portion was small over all rating is 4/10. The chicken wings a 1/10, no flavor and tasted freezer burned. Anywho! I like writing honest reviews to save people money and time. They may have other items that are better. We did take-out, the guy at the counter was super helpful and nice. 3 stars for the customer service!

Been to the restaurant multiple times for dinner with friends. Great service and the food was delicious! My friend was gluten sensitive and the server was very attentive to her restrictions. I was recently here for a private event that was held outside in a tented area. The food was so so good, came out promptly, drinks were strong, and the service was fantastic! The breakfast flatbread was a surprising favorite! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is in the area looking to book a shower, or just a night out!
