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

Ben Kamen

We love this place. BUT. Charging $4 for a gluten free bun is a racket. Our kid has celiac and can’t eat gluten. I understand the GF bun might be more expensive than a regular bun, but it’s not $4 more. That kind of mark up is absolutely unfair to those that can’t eat regular buns and feels like we’re being ripped off.

This was the first time we went to this restaurant and I can’t tell you how lovely the experience was. The energy was calm and soothing, the music old cafe jazz, you could almost feel like you were in a French bistro hole in the wall except for all the Americana pics covering the walls. It felt like coming home. As a person with celiac there are precious few spaces that aren’t dedicated gluten free that are actually safe for us. This is just such a place. We will be going back regularly. Also, lest I forget, both my husband and myself had the Cascadia burger. I had the one patty because 2 is too much, OMG was this ever juicy - and fries!!! I could order great fries without worry 🥰 It was perfect. Thank you to whoever you are who put this place together. I felt cared for.

It’s a tiny place with BIG delicious food! I haven’t had anything there yet that I didn’t love. Excellent gluten-free and vegan food and baked goods! The scones and muffins, etc., are delicious. Definitely don’t skip out on anything maple glazed!

Thea McNally

I have been a regular breakfast patron and have recently been diagnosed with celiac. The accommodation for a GF meal was amazing. I ordered the burrito and just asked for it to be dumped in the bowl. Our server suggested the corn tortillas, and it was INCREDIBLE. They also use a separate flat top for GF. Highly recommend. Had a soy cappuccino and the seasonal cider.

Marin

Their gluten free crust is AMAZING. I ordered a gluten free and vegan pizza with artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, sliced tomatoes, and basil. It was amazing! Classic, old school American pizza.

Riley Hood

Food was awesome! You see the dough being spun around Gluten-free options Price was really good! Pizza was HUGE There is.ice cream here?!?! And it's GOOD?!?!?! Really nice music, and even toys for little kids! This is one of my favorite restaurants! Would HIGHLY recommend!

Gregory Eckroth

Any chance I get to eat here, I do. My wife is gluten free vegan and there’s abundant choices for her. I really flat out love the food, I have yet to have a bad meal here. Everything tastes awesome and unique. Yeah, it’s a little expensive… but so is everything else out there. Highly recommend!

My new favorite! A group of food trucks with something for everyone. Arepa has south American street food and because the bread is all corn flour, it's naturally gluten free. A lot of new foods to try! The cubana blew my mind.

Stacey Sorgen

TONS of Gluten Free options here! Very friendly, very accommodating! Great foods! This is a vegan restaurant and they have soooooooo many gluten free options.

Charlene E

Amazing clam chowder!! They were able to make a gluten free clam chowder as well that was absolutely delicious!!

Laura Bagley

I've been gluten free for over 20 years now (before it was cool), and I can honestly say the gluten free pizza here is possibly the best I've ever had. The sourdough crust is beyond words, and the Hop Sauce absolutely SLAPS (as the young'uns say). I always appreciate a taproom that offers a wide selection of ciders and seltzers, and I wasn't disappointed by the array offered here. The atmosphere is great, and if I lived in Olympia, I'd be a regular for sure.

Kelly Miller

Such a great place right off the highway. They have many gluten free options. They know what's gf and what's not. Service was prompt and nice. I got the burger with a GF bun and the bun was not dry or did it crumble in my hands. Wish I was closer. You should eat here. Only downside is the paper towels suck in the bathroom.

Sierra Stack

DAMN! Ya’ll just out here putting all mall burger joints to shame ! These burgers have no business being this good. The quality of the drinks , waffle parm truffle fries and sauces are flavortown worthy. Get some! Great gluten free bun for burgers ! Yuzu lemonade is amazing

Catamara Rosarium

We love Anthony's and had not been in quite some time. Definitely plan on going back. Also good options and sensitivity to gluten free diets.

Rose Bursik

Great tasting pizza - fresh ingredients. The best gluten-free pizza crust in town. Took off one star because the last time we ordered take out the pizza was burnt pretty badly. Only time that ever happened, so next time will just check it before leaving.

This has become one of my favorite places to grab a bite in Oly. Truly a hidden Gem! Gluten free Sammy's. I LOVE their raspberry grilled cheese with chicken added. Handcrafted shakes or juice and coffee. If you have not already you must try out this place and check out their Sanctuary outside seating. They place soundbath music. And sell cute little trinkets too.

Kefi Andersen

Nice spot for a nice dinner out. I had the shrimp, artichoke appetizer, and the caprese salad. All were super tasty. I ordered the garden party cocktail, and it was light and refreshing. Price was higher, but good quality experience. I paid about $68 before tips, splitting the artichoke appetizer. Patio was nicely shaded. Quiet enough that it was a good place for conversation. Parking would be easy to get. I'd leave the kids at home for this one, save it for a date night. Vegetarian options were good. Gluten free options were available.

Jessie Fox

I love this place! They have the most delicious Marionberry Stuffed French Toast. I can't eat gluten, but they made this gluten-free for me!! Super yummy food and great wait staff.

ML

We've always enjoyed our experiences here. Just a heads up for GF people... the rice pilaf does appear to contain barley, which is NOT gluten free, and I did not see it indicated on the menu.

Kell S

Super popular location, so if you are in a rush, consider visiting just before or after the lunch hours as they are seemingly always slammed. The staff are a mix of really dynamic personalities and lackluster folks just there for a paycheck. For the most part, they are fantastic. I frequent this place and my only wish is that they offer more gluten free options and label the ones they do have. Once, I overheard an employee tell a customer that certain holiday cookies were gluten free, but there was no way to know to ask that. If you need to customize your order, I recommend you go inside. The drive thru is next to a busy street and the staff often struggle to hear over the road noise, especially on rainy days.

Diane Adair

Love this place. Everything about it. A great casual breakfast place and friends' meetup spot for a bite of good food. I think they have more than breakfast?...look it up! The home fries...crispy on all sides! The Benedict...excellent ham, homemade and spectacular Hollandaise. The poached egg...solid whites and perfect runny yolks (super fresh egg) to soak into my optional gluten free toast French toast looked scrumptious and the biscuits looked excellent....next time! The staff and owner...warm.and kind. The weekend wait?...coffee and cups and cream await you..no begging the busy staff...go pour yourself a cup and chat or people watch or stare at your shoes. BITS is worth the wait.

Kelsey

Love this place! Delicious and fresh food. Options for folks that are vegan and gluten free!

Breshin Billingsley

Great spot, great food, good drink options as well. Sourdough and gluten-free options as well.

Michelle McMeel

We ordered a take out gluten free pizza. They offer one size. Cost $24.00. Plus 15% tip. Pizza was the size of a personal pan pizza with four small slices. The two of us were still hungry when we finished. They put the pizza in a large box and were shocked when we got home and opened the box and saw the actual size of the pizza. Won't be ordering from BCP again.

Lovely coffee and had gluten free snacks

Laura Tiefenbruck

Friendly service, clean, quick, healthy food & gluten-free menu options. Great classic rock soundtrack.

Galen Disston

The service was great, and although we eat gluten-free, dairy free, and vegetarian, the wait staff suggested a delicious portobello steak. Greatest view in Oly!

P B & J

Welcome environment and quick to grab a bite for lunch on a work break. I got the hot Pear ham sandwich on a gluten-free bun, and it was good. My only complaint was way too heavy on the mustard it overpowered everything. Next time, I will ask for light sausing. Overall 4/5 rating, and I'll visit again. They are pricing. I paid $15 for one sandwich.

Brett Ariss

Had the annie burger with gluten free bun. Unfortunately got so sick the next morning I believe this was not a gluten free bun. Celiacs beware. Service was excellent though and all other food was good for the family.

Jessie Fox

Gluten Free Grilled Cheese? Yes, please!! And the fries are exceptional. 😋

This was my first time here. I may return but my expectations aren't too high. The group I was with was satisfied with their meals, especially the beignets. They did look very tasty! That being said, I have celiac and am limited in food choices. The person who planned this event chose Octapas because they had gluten free options. Actually there were 2 options. One was huevos rancheros, that is what I chose, hard to mess it up. Boy was I wrong. The good first, the eggs were perfectly cooked and the few bits of cheese were authentic. The not so good, my plate and meal were cold, the beans were strained before putting them on the plate so now were dry(and cold), I swear the sauce - which should be a ranchero sauce with a flavorful Chile taste and aroma- came right out of a can labeled tomato paste. It had some dried green herbs sprinkled on it... and did I mention it was cold. There was no rice or potatoes - as is customary with huevos rancheros. I finished it quickly but left hungry. There is another gluten free options on the menu... I may try it, hope it isn't cold. The server was very attentive and checked on us often. The atmosphere was very nice and we all appreciated the artwork on the walls.

The gluten free pizza is the best in town!

Kefi Andersen

I liked their ceviche and had a nice mint cocktail that I'd recommend. The portions vary a lot. I got the diavola prawns and it was enough to share while my partner got street tacos that were much smaller. The tortillas were freshly made, so get the corn ones! Atmosphere is kitchy. There's a taco truck parked inside that's part function part decor. Not fancy. Laid back. Good for a dressed down kind of night. Not too loud. Kids would be ok here although there's a bar partitioned off. Patio looked appealing for warmer weather. There were good gluten free options. My partner got street tacos that fit for gluten free dairy free. Staff were very helpful about the food allergies. Not as attentive to timing with the bill. You may need to be a bit more visible and ask for your check. Parking was easy. It's just off I-5.

First time trying the Pork Carnitas Tacos and I was very happy with my choice! The kitchen was able to make it gluten-free. HUGE portion, so took home lots of left over. The pork was tender and seasoned well. The sause was just the right amount of heat. The Spanish rice was good too. This was a great dish.

Effran Davis (bluester)

Beautiful view, excellent dinner, and top notch service. Sarah, our waitress, was nothing short of attentive and accommodating. She seated us in a spot my girlfriend spotted upon entry. They ran out of Seared Sea scallops; however, the Elk Duet, was my girlfriend's second choice - she said it was delightful. I am gluten free and vegetarian - the salad, red rice and lightly sauteed vegetables were exactly what I needed to complete our evening. Overall, our meal, view, and service was top notch and worthy of return visits.

Bethany McConnell

Love this location much more than the Tacoma Proctor district location. Visited today on our way to Oregon with my husband and two little boys. This has a much more welcoming energy, smaller, outside seating only. Our barista was a pleasure to talk to, so personable, helpful and kind. She was my ideal barista. I wish I had caught her name to give her kudos for being a bright light in our day. The coffees are perfect and the treats are a great pairing. I appreciate they have gluten free and gluten free + vegan options. Thank you!

Sunflowers85 Spring

Fresh good, nice gluten free options. Drinks were on point!

Amber Baird

Great food. New options. Only wish was no batter on French fries for us gluten intolerant folks.

Peach Strider

Incredible. Our sever, Katie, was very attentive. Listened to our preferences and was able to recommend drinks. The bartender was super accommodating to taste, making drinks slightly off recipe to be sweeter, more flavourful. The food was delicious, and they offer plenty of vegan, gluten free and vegetation options. Wonderful atmosphere and lovely staff. Definitely a highlight of Olympia.

Deanna

I like Mod Pizza. It's thin and crispy crust is perfect for not making you feel over gluten burdened. The sauce is tasty and I feel like the amount of toppings and cheese are always on point. This is the first time I've been to this new location. The restaurant was clean and empty. I was immediately greeted by the young gal behind the counter. Very friendly and eager to make my pizza. I got a Hawaiian with Feta kids sized pizza, which was the perfect size for my appetite. I must say, they are expensive. But, I don't frequent this area often so it was a fun and tasty splurge. The music was also at a decent level and both the young people working were friendly, and hustling when the place started getting busier. Nice job!

Jon

Got shakes as my family has to eat gluten free....loved them. The kids are making summer plans and they all seem to include shakes from Van's.

Stephanie Kavon

I give this place 5 STARS because I'm gluten free (not by choice). Their Penne GF pasta can be subbed in for any noodle dish. And it is good! Penne. The white wine alfredo sauce is even better!! Tastes homemade, "notmal" and it is great bang for you buck! I do wish they had other styles of GF pasta, but beggars for pasta can't be choosers haha

Amber Baird

Been visiting since right before covid. They are wonderful. Have something to drink for everyone. Including some gluten free beers. Great place to meet new friends 😎

Jessica Hurley

One of my most favorite places ♡ they have amazing gluten and dairy free options for beers and food

Sarah Keliher

Delicious. Friendly. Funky. And unlike a lot of places, they actually understand what 'gluten free' means and will steer your selections accordingly. Enjoy the best fries in town while indulging in unparalleled people-watching at this Olympia classic.

Maria Noonan

There food is great! They have lots if gluten free options as well as some of the best fish tacos around. The staff are attentive and friendly!

Denise Kiers

Ilk’s smash burger on a gluten free bun is the best I’ve ever eaten!!

Cee Breeze

I go to Oregon but once a year and go out of my way for the Fatso's burgers. I had their tomato basil soup with it this time. It was so delicious that i bought another cup to go. Everything is Celiac safe. I wish they were everywhere!
