Top 50 Gluten-Free Sandwich Havens Across Alberta

Valerie Cote

My daughter and her husband took me out for dinner last night and chose this restaurant because it was gluten free. What a win! They were featuring a concert band and we were seated in the first seat, right beside them. We thought at first that it would be too noisy, and it was! But what fun! As my daughter said, "We get to visit all the time, but when do we get to be entertained like this?" As expected, the food was great and I didn't have to worry about being sick. It was very special, and we will be back.

Just had an amazing experience at Selia Bar and had to share! The entire place is 100% gluten free, which was such a relief — no need to worry about cross-contamination at all. It’s so refreshing to be able to choose anything from the menu without second-guessing or stressing. There were so many delicious options to pick from, and everything we tried was fantastic. Our server, Erick, was absolutely wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better with his thoughtful service. If you’re looking for a safe and genuinely enjoyable place to eat out, I highly recommend Selia Bar. I left feeling full, happy, and totally at ease.

Love this place! They have so many vegan,vegetarian and gluten free options it makes it easy for anyone to eat here

An okay diner it feels kinda tight and is loud but the fact it's gluten friendly is a big plus and on top of that the food tastes absolutely amazing, which is hard without gluten. Coffee was not fun and it was super busy. Overall it's a cute place every once in awhile, though I don't think you'd want to make it a regular spot.

Absolutely love Communitea Cafe in Canmore! The vibe is warm and welcoming, the food is fresh and flavourful, and there are tons of clearly marked gluten-free and vegan options. As someone with celiac disease, I felt completely safe eating here. Great service, amazing teas, and a beautiful space. Highly recommend!

The Next Act is the quintessential third place. The staff is always welcoming and make you feel like you're at friend's place, not a restaurant. And their gluten free fish and chips is a real treat for those of us with Celiac 🥰

Cannot thank Angela and the team at Banh Mi Day enough for taking on my massive catering order for my office this week. Not only was the communication incredible (including suggestions on how many platters/types of platters to order), but when the food arrived day of, it was so carefully packages and labelled to make setting it out for staff that much easier. It was a first ordering banh mi to the office and it was an absolutely hit - especially with my gluten free and halal staff. Will definitely be ordering for catering in the future, as well as continuing to stop by for a banh mi and Vietnamese iced coffee on my own time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Path Plant Based Metaphysical Café is truly a treasure in every sense of the word. Their food is always delicious, but what sets them apart is the incredible care and thoughtfulness they show toward their customers. Recently, I asked if they could make their gluten-free nuts and bolts mix—a seasonal favorite of mine—and they joyfully agreed, even though they no longer focus exclusively on gluten-free offerings. When I picked it up, they mentioned they had trouble sourcing some ingredients and had to improvise, but they still put so much love into making it. They even gifted it to me, which was such an unexpected and heartwarming gesture. This kindness turned my entire day around. It reminded me how special this café is, not just for their food (which is amazing—I even got to enjoy one of their gluten-free pretzels, my favorite!), but for the heart they pour into everything they do. If you’re looking for a place with tasty plant-based treats and a team of people who genuinely care, The Path is the place to be. Thank you for always going the extra mile and for being such a blessing to your community!

Best gluten free and vegan sushi, they are very fast and accommodating. Highly recommend wholelifego it’s amazing! Thank you WholeLifeGo!

Andrew Braun

Tons of gluten free options and very tasty with lots of yummy flavors. Have desserts too and their house made sauce is great.

Barbara Spieker

Nice atmosphere, good food, great value for money. And fully gluten-free.

Amanda Dyk

We had take out. The gluten free chicken club and spicy pickle soup were so good but the gluten free carrot cake was AMAZING!

This is a cute little cafe and the staff are so nice. The food is great, hash browns a little undercooked. Gluten free options!!! And I mean options not a few select foods! My mother is celiac and hasn’t had a gluten free pancake in anywhere but home for years, she was so excited and absolutely cleaned her plate!! She cannot stop telling people about that pancake and how good it was. For people to not have access to safe foods in so many restaurants is sad, but this cafe goes above and beyond for gluten free food! 10/10 recommend you try this cafe, even if you don’t have any food aversions.

Good food and great service. Definitely the best option for celiac and gluten free in the calgary airport. Prompt service and a great relaxed atmosphere it was a highlight in an otherwise very delayed trip.

Picked up a gluten free lunch today, $30 for 1 meal is kinda ridiculous. I got pasta with the burger and it was an added $8 up charge to get a small portion of gross pasta. The pasta was horrible, very clearly reheated (not well) and definitely a day or 2 old. I could have made Kraft dinner that tasted better than their barely reheated pasta. I don’t know if they changed chefs but their pasta used to be amazing. Very disappointing

Veronica Penny

My favourite place to get breakfast in Calgary! Gluten free options are appreciated. Coffee is really good too.

Always delicious and fresh, fast service. A true gem . (Last months visit) Today's visit. After waiting a month to return here with my family, I am very let down . I need to amend my review from 5 stars to 2 to reflect on today's visit. I had an awful experience by Greg, the owners son. We were treated poorly and without respect at all. How embarrassing to be argued with in front of the entire café. After explaining to him about the foods quality and taste, I was treated as though I was not being truthful. I asked for a 1/2 gluten-free turkey sandwich with everything but tomatoes and lettus and a cup of soup. The food was brought out it was a whole sandwich. I mentioned that i only ordered 1/2 and then was told after it came out that "they don't do 1/2 sandwiches for gluten-free bread," and there were no sprouts. (Instead of letting me know when I ordered) I took one bite and couldn't even eat it as it was dry and the turkey meat was a large amount of dark, bruised meat and a tiny bit of white where it wouldnt even stay on the bread, in comparison to my last visit where it was the best sandwich I ever had, I was very disappointed and let down today. Also, for being charged $32 for a breakfast for my mom and sister it was cold and over priced for 3 eggs and 8 pieces of meat, cold potatoes and dry toast. Also, none of the kitchen staff were wearing hair nets or gloves, and I witnessed one cook wipe his nose with his finger and then on his apron. 🤢 The other 2 staff members we encountered were kind and polite. I am absolutely sad to be treated with such rudeness after I've been visiting this café for years off and on and being a paid, returning customer. I am still in shock as to how Greg treated me today, so upset and left hungry.

Kennedy was an amazing waitress and it was an amazing experience and atmosphere. The food was amazing. I especially like it here because they have many gluten free options including gluten free buns and a separate gluten free fryer.

Tom Wilk

Great atmosphere and food. Gluten free menu is amazing for those who need it.

Great service and great gluten free options.

Shayd Cooper

Emily was incredibly kind and attentive! She made sure my food was completely safe for my celiac disease and double-checked everything with care. I really appreciated her support and attention to detail.

Violet Rose

Quick service. Gluten free can be accommodated. I recommend stating that it’s an allergy. I said I was gluten intolerant, instead an allergy, and got glutened. I have never been glutened when I said it was an allergy. Their Dagwood is my favorite sandwich.

Steve E

Everything great. But if you are celiac, you need to determine if the risk is worth it. I got contaminated but maybe not everyone is as sensitive as myself. Tasted great, but for me, I cannot tolerate any gluten.

Sarah Miles

This location at least has the gluten free bread option. Was actually really tastey, doughy gluten free bun. Way better than the subway gf bun option. Lady working there told me almost all subs can be made gf so I got the club. So far so good. I did see them take precautions in the kitchen with gloves for cross contamination but you can't see right into the whole area. I'm celiac and don't usually risk places like this but the sub was delicious and would go back again.

What an amazing meal we enjoyed! I am on a strict Paleo/diabetic diet and I can tell when a meal is not right. Many restaurants will provide very blend food when they hear of my gluten free, dairy free, legume free, Corn & soy free, canola free, without root vegetables, nothing raw, and my list goes on & on. I needed either cooking with beef tallow or 100% olive oil. Even though I forgot to make reservations ahead of the day, the kitchen was able to provide an amazing meal. Nevertheless, I would recommend making reservations ahead so the kitchen can be ready for such strict dietary guidelines. Food manager Kiersten was confident the kitchen could provide me with a scrumptious meal that fit my diet. And Earls delivered what was promised! From the first to the last, I was enjoying every bite as an amazing treat! I’d been in the restaurant previously and the noise level was very uncomfortably loud. But this time, the noise level was moderate, helping us with our conversations. I will definitely be back with other friends!

Went to this place with a friend specifically for gluten free drinks and food they advertised. After pointing to every gf tagged item on the menu and told "no sorry that can't be made gluten free" we paid our bill and left.

Friendly Staff, Amazing subs much better then the competition, so so happy they have gluten free buns and they taste good. They also have a really nice soda machine with hundreds of options.

Did not have any subs during this last visit. NO, gluten-free buns. There were two of us and when one can't eat, the other won't eat.

Tyler Mackenzie

Stopped in for a quick lunch and cocktail. Was so pleased with this place; the menu has a great selection. The drink menu is really fun too! Such a great atmosphere too. The gluten free bread was delicious! Everything was great, except the staff could have been more friendly. The cashier at the gift side was so cold. But, I'll be back!!

Anika White

This is my favorite place to go for a quick delicious lunch or snack. Delicious and unique flavor combinations, and their sandwiches always hit the spot. There is gluten free bread, but I don’t know if they use a separate panini press, though I’m sure if you’re willing to wait they could clean the grill if you are celiac. Sandwiches range from $11-$15 with a can of pop for $1.25. Highly recommend if you are in the Kensington area

Such a cute spot! Lots of options in the menu and they are able to cater to unique dietary options as the menu mentioned halal and gluten free options. Came for an early dinner and we thought we'd have to wait, but the food was ready almost immediately. Maxim served us and he was absolutely delightful. Very attentive and took the time to check in to make sure everything was good. I'd recommend this spot and will return to try more sandwiches. Was skeptic about trying the duck fat fries, but they turned out so good!

Bonita Hudson

Went with relatives as they said this place was good for someone with celiac. Plenty of choices and the food was great. The server was attentive my questions and the sound level was not too loud so we could visit in comfort.

Lisa MacLean

I had a rather frustrating experience at this location today. I have a gluten allergy and specifically called ahead to verify there were multiple menu items that I would be safe to eat. Over the phone I was assured there were many options. When I was there today with a group of friends, I found out my options were extremely limited. My server did do her diligence to check what would be available for me and it was suggested the artichoke and spinach dip. She then returned apologizing saying that the chips that came with it were not actually gluten friendly. In the end all I ended up with was a salad. The salad was tasty, but the options available were very disappointing when I specifically called to verify, and then to be told I could have something, then told wait no, never mind was frustrating. If you are celiac I would be cautious about dining here.
