Top 44 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Olympia

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not one I can trust for a gluten free meal, even though they do offer gluten free options. I told the server that I am celiac, and she assured me that the gluten free pasta is prepared separately and not cross contaminated. This is the important part--the pasta they served me was NOT GLUTEN FREE! I thought it didn't look as described in the menu (for the gluten free pasta), so thank goodness I questioned it BEFORE I ate it! They gave me regular pasta. It would have sickened me for days if I had eaten it. Celiac disease is serious, and any amount of gluten can cause damage to the lining of your intestines, not to mention just the side effects for the days following. No apologies were offered by the server and our service was very poor overall. No checking on us, water refills, etc. I am leaving this review to encourage others with celiac or gluten sensitivity to be extra cautious. I will not return. In addition, our party of 4 was cold (we ate with our coats on), again, no one checked on us for anything, we were there for 2 hours, and everyone else felt that their food was underwhelming. There wasn't one thing about the experience that would encourage any of us to return.

I have visited here many times and will keep coming back!! I have even reccomended this to my very gluten sensitive friend since the entire menu is certified gluten free. The food is absolutely delicious every time I come here and I've always been served by very friendly staff. The variety of drinks are great and the options for syrups is fun! The atmosphere is cute and perfect for brunch any day!

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.

Amazing foods! Great gluten free desserts you can get here or at the Olympia Farmer’s market

Roger Olson

Exceptional yellow curry. Giant plus that it is also gluten free. Will definitely be back

Steven Mock

My wife and I shared a delicious fig salad as an appetizer. She had the Iron Burger with gluten free buns and I had the Lamb Curry burger. Both were absolutely delicious. The garlic fries sides were a bit small, but that was ok. I had a couple glasses of excellent Malbec. It was quiet for a Saturday night which tells me people were totally missing out on a great dining experience. Make sure to visit the Iron Rabbit!

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.

I've had several frustrating experiences at Red Robin that have left me disappointed. Time and again, my orders have been wrong—missing toppings I paid extra for, missing salad dressing, incorrect cheese, and even a gluten bun when I have an allergy. One visit, I opted for curbside pickup, but despite checking in right before my order was due, I waited over 15 minutes with no updates. When I finally went inside, my food was just sitting there, cold. I usually do curbside orders from here due to my service dog and autoimmune disease, there needs to be more regard for the need of these services and accessibility to disabled individuals. When I spoke with the Assistant General Manager about the delay, he mentioned the host was busy, but that's not an excuse for serving cold food. There should have been better coverage to ensure orders were handled promptly. On my latest visit, going inside hoping to avoid these issues, I couldn't help but feel like I was met with attitude from the hostess, which only added to my frustration. I still got the wrong cheese like I have on an occasion before and my chicken was even rubbery this time. I'm tired of feeling like Karen with a phone-call after that has begun to feel routine for this particular location. Overall, I love the food when it’s right, but the repeated mistakes and lack of customer service have made it difficult to enjoy my visits. I hope they can address these issues, as I’d love to return and have a better experience. I really like a few of the employees too so it's hard to leave a negative review.

The jumbo pizza is a family favorite, always a hit. The gluten free pizza is a disappointment. Flat and tough crust.

Lynn "Elikqitie" Smargis

If you’re looking for a place to grab the most fantastic brunch in town, you’ve found it! The chef puts together a seasonal menu that is definitely outside the box and very fresh! Lots of amazingly delicious gluten free options.

Tiff

Service was great and pleasantly surprised by the gluten free menu.

Evelyn Moser

Great gluten-free menu, our server was very accommodating and very friendly. Would definitely recommend this location for a family friendly date night!

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.

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!

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!

Billie Ortega-Ortiz

Always a great time. Food is great and the show is always fun. My daughter is a celiac, but she can eat there with no issues, they just make her food separate from everyone else's.

Crystal Mc

I’m so glad we stopped here! I had a gluten-free vegetarian bowl, it was delicious and fresh and I ended up taking 1/2 of it home. I had the Mezze Bowl with Quinoa and added Falafel for more protein. Since Falafel is a bit dry for me, I asked for some Greek Ranch and it was perfect for dipping! He had the Tex-Mex burrito with onions subbed for the avacado, and even with his larger appetite he took 1/3 of it home because it was such an ample portion. This is their only location in the US (they’re Canadian owned), but the next time I’m traveling through the area, it will be my go-to stop for a healthy and reasonably priced meal.

G Newman

Order in only. No seating in restaurant. Food is awesome and gluten free. Avoid deep fried appetizers or naan bread.

Jessie Fox

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

Eun Schultz

Barbara Schroeder

Lots of tasty gluten free and dairy free options. I felt safe ordering and the guy was super friendly and knowledgeable, guiding me away from certain things. So appreciative!! And the food was bomb tasty. I got the #5 with a side of roast pork. All safe to eat and great for breakfast or brunch. Support this business! We need more safe options in town right??? These guys deserve the love!❤️ Parking was hidden down the alley. There are spaces there on the gravel for the park. Lots of picnic benches and some ate covered in case of rain. It’s in a cute little park.

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.

TheWhom Phlew

Good food with gluten free options

Nick Messina

If I could give above 5 stars, I would! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! The gluten free drunken noodles are amazing!

Hannah

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.

Vincelle Calica

We get coffee, other drinks and gluten free cookies, great coffee and other snacks. My daughter always gets a Strawberry, rasberry red bull with orange juice, like and tastes good if your into energy drink stuff.

Dan Hinz

For best service hit them during not so busy hours. Great food. Also I'm gluten intolerant and have had good luck not getting contaminated even though not all thier menu is GF.

Jessica Coen

We specifically go here for the vegan menu and it's superb! I'd love to see more clarity on which items are also gluten free but otherwise great! Service is so quick and easy. Servers are awesome, we have especially liked Isaac.

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!

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

Yelena Myakisheva

I love the concept, everything I've tried is delicious and beautifully presented. They have a few gluten free things marked on the menu, but there's more if you ask.

Amanda Hudson

The pulled pork and brisket were cooked great and had excellent flavor. The BBQ sauce is gluten free and non gmo. Flavor on the beans was really nice, just a small amount of heat. Worth the stop - be hungry, the portions are generous. Really friendly owner. Support this small business.

Tomara Jackson

They now offer a gluten free and cauliflower crust for an additional charge. The cauliflower crust was cooked perfectly and the toppings were generous.

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.

G Newman

Love the ambiance, the food the service and gluten-free options

Ian Sage

Wild Child has some amazing food options on their new menu, I got the Bacon Jam Burger and it was PHENOMINAL. They also have a gluten free bun available for any of their burgers, and they are quite aware of allergens, and were able to confirm which of their items could be made gluten free. The atmosphere is welcoming and fun, while still having that "local pub" vibe. We also got some drinks, including a flight of some options they have on tap, and they were all great. If you are looking for a good place to get a great burger or sandwich and drinks, especially if you're having a hard time finding a good gluten free option, this place is a great pick!

Sheldon Kreger

Best Vietnamese food in Olympia. Soups are truly gluten free. The space is clean and the staff is friendly.

Denise Kiers

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