I had the gf chipped beef, potatoes and a side of sausage and it was AMAZING!!! I can’t stop thinking about it. My boyfriend had a regular tuna melt and loved it. He also loved all my gf food. The service was great.

Bashful Banana is the go-to spot in OC for a healthier sweet treat! Their banana whips are the best, and you can customize them with other fruits or even non-dairy chocolate chips—perfect for those with dietary restrictions. They have so many gluten-free options too, which is fantastic. It’s an OC staple for anyone looking for a lighter alternative when you’re not in the mood for ice cream. Highly recommend for a refreshing and delicious treat!

Great spot centrally located in the heart of the Asbury Ave shopping district. Menu has lots of variety. Many gluten free and healthy options. Love the flourless crustless quiche! Fast service. Hot food. Seating is often tight inside due to the small space. Bar seating is often available and you can usually find a single seat if needed. We have been here over a dozen times and food and service are consistently good! Worth the wait if there is one. Several great shops nearby to shop while waiting. Will be back!

Would have liked to endulge in there pancakes but although they offer gluten free pancakes they don't have a vegan option. Everyone else in our party loved the food and from what I saw the pancakes did look fresh and very tasty. Everyone was happy with the food here. Cute spot to visit in ocean city .

Yianni's Cafe in OCNJ is a local gem. Great service. Delicious food. Plenty of menu items to suit all tastes, including options for dairy-free and gluten-free. Our server Norma was wonderful!

Danielle Pagan

This is our go to place for mocha lattes and gluten free snacks. We love the atmosphere and staff, especially Ally :)

Gina Villecco

Great ice cream! Often a long line on the weekends in the summer, but it moves fast and the servers are always extremely friendly. I love walking here with the family after dinner. (They also have dairy free and gluten free flavors!)

On the Way Cafe is a true local gem! Their sausage gravy and sloppy joe are absolute must-tries – they’re staples around here, and you can taste the love in every bite. Arleen, the owner, is the sweetest; she used to have her own spot (now Asbury Kitchen), and you can tell she’s passionate about what she does. She’s there every day, making sure everything is just right, and she offers so many vegetarian and gluten-free options too. Supporting local feels extra special when the food is this amazing! Highly recommend stopping by for a cozy, delicious meal.

The food is very very good and the service is excellent. Gluten free options are why we go there and the Sandwich Bar definitely has it 👍 right!!!

Chris Pohlmeyer

Celiac friendly, tasty ice cream, great spot overall!

Amazing food, awesome staff, everything is so tasty and freshly made. Amazing it's authentic Greek food an explosion of Greek culture on your taste buds. They also serve gluten free food you can get anything gluten free on a wrap or a gluten free salad with chicken or tuna.

It was ok - good enough food on the boardwalk. However it is NOT gluten free. They advertise GF on the menu and online, but they cook all the food on the same grill. Avoid if you can’t tolerate cross contamination.

Have gone for many years but now find that they are one of the few places that offer a gluten free bread with breakfast. An upcharge but it was very good and much better than the store breads.

Jill Lanzalotti

They use a dedicated french fry frier. So no cross contamination if you are a celiac/ or gluten sensitive or if you have peanut/tree nut allergies. Great tasting fries too!

We’ve been coming to OC for many years. This is our family favorite for breakfast (and sometimes for lunch). We have all tried many dishes. My go-to is avocado toast on gluten free bread. They are with the avocado, which is always fresh, and the eggs on top are just the way I order it. The GF free bread is always fresh and they don’t seem to run out of it, which can be a problem at some places. Service is great and so is food. We miss Sunrise Cafe when we are not in OC.

Julia Phillips

Best gluten-free pizza that I have ever had.

Julianna Bell

This place is the best of both worlds with everything you could ask for in breakfast foods, a great combination of options for lunch, and nightly family dinners for any amount. They also have a huge variety of catering options for any event that you are having. They offer a great amount of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and keto options as well. All of the employees are very pleasant and super helpful with any questions you might have. I would definitely recommend stopping in and supporting this awesome business!!

Nick Thompson

They accommodate our large group (15-20+) year after year in early July and we’re so grateful. The food is always great and there’s something for everyone. That said, it would be great if they labeled their menu for gluten free/vegan/vegetarian options.

Viviane Repici

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and as a Brazilian, the acai remind of home!! I had the good vibrations with gluten free granola and my husband the sentoria. We loved and will be definitely coming back!!!

Mark Crow

Big pirtions. Great gluten free options. A bit expensive.

Chloe Maryam Mohr

This place has a variety of delicious and creative food offerings. Although the name implies it's mostly chicken, it has a number of vegetarian and beef items on the menu too. I had a tofu rice bowl which was much more healthy and satisfying that was typical boardwalk food. They also have japchae noodles, 5 different types of dumplings; shave ice, boba tea, and lots of other things. Service is relatively fast, even when they're busy. Try it! Note: good for gluten free and vegetarian options.

Nathan Warren

Great location and excellent food. They had gluten free options that for once didn't make me jealous of the other meals.

Lynn Myers

Super cute cafe!! Great coffee! Excellent food with Gluten Free and Vegetarian options!! The customer service was fantastic!! The line moves quick and is definitely worth the wait!! If it was closer, I would be a regular!!
