Top 29 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Hendersonville

MaryAnn Barnes

Their gluten free pizza was bad!! The crust was so hard & crunchy and the sauce & cheese didn't have much taste at all. Then they charge a 10% take out fee! My husband got a regular pizza and he was not impressed either. There are a lot better gluten free pizza places around that we'll be going to.

Shine Family Chiropractic

Awesome friendly service. Great fresh food with gluten free and vegan options. Cool atmosphere by train tracks. Love this spot!

Braylon Zaragoza

Best pizza in all of Hendersonville. Period. I absolutely love the pizza here, and the gluten free options make it way more accessible to people. The pizza tastes delicious, especially the square pizza. All around, it's delicious, a must try for pizza in the area.

Friendly staff and good food options. Gluten free options are available. I enjoyed the chicken sandwich special. It can get very busy at peak time for lunch.

Jen Aguirre

Great gluten free options! Fresh food and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Chris Franklin

Good portions and lots of gluten free options. Blue fries are especially good.

Lori Rowden

Great food and very accommodating to gluten free, as well as great service.

Amy Dempsey

The absolute best hamburger ever!! The gluten free wrap didn’t fall apart and was so wonderful. The selections of dessert’s was amazing and had some gluten free options. Cute outdoor seating by a creek, and a Lego collection to look at rounded out a perfect stop.

A lucky horse shoe find! Cognative Café! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and helpful staff who truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it’s clear that this place is run with heart and intention as a community favorite. The coffee options are incredible, espresso, cortado, lattes, or prefer a simple drip, they’ve got something for everyone. They proudly brew Cooperative Coffee, which makes it even better knowing your cup supports ethical sourcing. If coffee isn’t your thing, no worries—the fridge is fully stocked with a wide variety of non-coffee beverages, and their tea selection is just as impressive. Their food menu is impressive, hearty sandwiches to fresh baked goods, there’s a wide selection to choose from, and they even offer plenty of gluten-free options, which is a huge plus. You can tell the staff is creative, and they’ve put a lot of thought into their offerings. The space itself is clean, bright, and completely handicap accessible, which I truly appreciate. The restrooms are spotless, and there’s fast, reliable WiFi, making it the perfect spot to work or relax. Overall, Cognative Café is so much more than a coffee shop, it’s a welcoming, inclusive, and vibrant space with top-notch service and quality in every detail. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee, a bite to eat, or a cozy place to hang out. Whether you’re meeting a friend, working remotely, or just stopping by for a quick pick-me-up, this place is a five-star experience all the way!

My husband and me went to Hendersonville for our anniversary and chose to have dinner at Shine. I have celiac disease and after reading reviews on GF apps we chose Shine. I was informed about cross contamination but the server said that she would inform kitchen staff to change gloves and wipe counters. The only issue is that the lobster hush puppies recipe is marked on menu as GF but the recipe isn't or they use a shared fryer. I spent my anniversary sick after dinner. Please be more cautious about menu's and ask questions if you have a gluten intolerance at this facility. *still sick by the way 2 days later. This literally ruined my trip.

Maria Lynch

Delicious and authentic food. Love the gluten free options.

Matt Miller

I had the monkey bread. Expected it to be dry and hard. It was not. I REALLY enjoyed it. My wife had a gluten free ginger cookie. It was GREAT! She has an espresso and a drip. I had an Americano. All very good.

Jamie Bloss

Delicious homemade food. Wonderful gluten free options and knowledgeable server.

Anna Cross

Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere to the decor to the mismatched tea cups was absolute perfection. Even the gluten free options were delicious. We are definitely going to try to squeeze in another lunch here while we’re in Asheville! I wish there was something like this in Raleigh!

Scott Bianco

Basically everything on the menu can be made gluten free and is terrific from sushi to hibachi to Chinese and other Asian specialties. They understand celiac and are very careful with their preparations

Lo Ja

This is a cute place to stop after hiking or biking in DuPont State Forest. They have ice cream, food/snacks, and beer. I had gluten free butter pecan.

Patricia Corbin

Yummy little Italian restaurant with a full bar and extensive beer and wine list. I had the trout with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. It was prepared nicely, but the broccoli had zero seasoning so I held back a star. Being a gluten-free person always on the hunt for pizza that doesn't hurt, I didn't have that option here. No biggie. Very comfortable place to have dinner with a friend. The broken brick work on the wall was in the shape of Italy. Clever! All of the ladies that were serving or hosting were really helpful and prompt. I'll happily go back when in Hendersonville.

Edwina Gazaille

Happy they had a gluten free, vegan option for daughter's dietary restrictions. We felt very safe also. A good system of allowing only so many inside to place order and then we went outside to eat. They carried our food out to us. The food was delicious. The service was super fast and efficient. Definitely would go back at this time when feeling safe is so important. This was only our second time eating out.

Marianne Van Wingerden

The cutest and friendliest coffee shop ever! You will feel like you stepped into another time… And the gluten free quiche was delicious

CR

I am new to gluten free and hate a lot of GF breads but the GF cauliflower wrap at Monte's is so yummy. I recommend the cuban done like a quesadilla. So good!

G N

Excellent service, friendly staff, and the pizza was soooooo good! They have gluten-free crust too.

Meghan Hughes

We had a lovely meal. It was great service and a beautiful new menu that is really helpfully labeled for food sensitivities (gluten free, vegetarian, lactose free, pescatarian, etc…). And the prices were super reasonable for the quality and experience. We look forward to coming back!

Carol Cannon

The food was excellent and the atmosphere great. There were four picnic tables set up outside, with Salvadoran music played in the background. We enjoyed both the tamale special (3 tamales for $5.00) and the revurelta pupusa. We recently moved to Hendersonville and plan to eat here again. As a bonus, all the products are corn-based, so the food is gluten free.

Victoria Sprinkle

Our dinner tonight was just Perfectively Cooked, Prepared, and eaten! Hubby had Old Blue Eyes, and his steak was medium, Just. Like. He. Wanted. It. 😁 My entree, Michael Jordan, was fabulous, too. When I asked our waitron, Nicola, what she recommended for gluten-free options, this was the one I chose, and it was ssssoooo good! The piano player was wonderful with her Xmas selections.... it was a perfect night! You. Must. GO!!!!

Summer Campbell

Mikes on main is our go to for breakfast and brunch! They have a fair amount of gluten allergy friendly foods, and the staff is always wonderful.

Melanie D

Really cute place, with a pleasant laid back atmosphere. Decided to take a chance on the chai and it was excellent, not the sweet nonsense that Starbucks serves. My husband got a latte. Being hardcore espresso drinkers we thought the taste was a little light and asked for more coffee but otherwise it was good. (Plant-based milk too) We also got something out of the pastry cabinet. I have celiac and they even had gluten-free items. There was a couple there singing '70s songs. That was really nice. We would definitely come back.

April Ledford

We stopped in for brunch and our food was cooked the way we wanted it, and our waitress was so sweet and attentive. I am gluten free and they were able to accomodate me. We will be back!

Magnolia Griff

Not only does one get to support an amazing cause through your purchase, but you get incredible tasty food as well! (So wonderful to have several gluten free options too: the wraps are fabulous!)

Alex Gutierrez

Good food, friendly and helpful. Have gluten free bread option!
