Top 6 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots to Enjoy in Cannon Falls

Jeannie Hill

As we welcome the warmer months each year, we head to Cannon Belles Coffee and Ice Cream in Cannon Falls. This town has more charm that a quick view of map can tell a story of. This historic building is fun to visit and experience the local culture. I never guessed initially that they provide award-winning artisanal cheeses, too! We are avid cheese lovers since living in Europe where the selection is amazing, and cheese is an every-day stable as well as a gourmet dessert. When it comes to ice cream, I’m always the one looking for a frozen yogurt option. Secondly, I recommend the Black Licorice ice Cream and Maple Nut ice cream for adult tastes. The kids love their Superman ice cream. Sometimes, I take my coffee in their float variety– 2 generous scoops of ice cream and freshly brewed coffee. The staff is great. They’ve even brewed a fresh pot of coffee upon request. We like it that everyone has an option for how their ice cream is served: a waffle cone, gluten-free cone, a cup, or cake cone…or simply take home a pint or gallon version. Usually, they have benches outside for enjoying the weather while we have our treats. The “Kiddie Scoops” are the right size for any age, who is conserving on sweet intake. Street side parking is available. As well, there is the generous parking lot on the east side of the winery across the street. It’s a friendly community. We enjoy meeting friends here. Huge thanks to the owners for investing your retail operation in this locale.

This was the first time we ate here. It was a Friday late afternoon. Since we are both allergic to wheat, we ordered one of their gluten free pizzas with Canadian Bacon and pineapple on top. Since I am from Chicago, I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. I asked the worker not set the pizza on the same surface as the regular pizza because of cross contamination, and he was very nice about it. Then, as soon as I said we were dining in, I noticed he cleaned up the table that had another customer's used plates, etc.. I appreciated that so we wouldn't have to look at it while waiting for our pizza. The pizza had a tasty sauce that was not too salty or sweet, lots of good quality cheese, and a good amount of Canadian bacon. The GF crust was too thin, of course, but that's common at many pizza places. Overall, we enjoyed the pizza. My daughter has had their regular pizza with sausage on top, but thought the sausage chunks were way too big for the pizza.

Best rib grilled cheese sandwich. We traveled 85 miles to eat here. Gluten free bread too!

The food was great! I have dietary restrictions (gluten and soy) and they were able to offer quite a few things that would not have either of those. I believe it was mostly seafood offered to avoid gluten and soy.

So I will start with the mini gluten-free cinnamon sugar donuts are good. Light and fluffy. I do wish that they were a classic Fried donut. I was happy to see Macarons. I got lemon and marshmallow. I also got some thumbprint cookies. They were delightful, moist sugar cookies with frosting. The reason I am only giving this bakery, two stars: The person who I got my macaroons out of the case, picked them up with her gloved hand then placed them in her ungloved hand to ring them up on the register. I had previously watched her handle cash, then my food. I also witnessed her put food from the case directly onto the checkout counter. When the customer requested a new donut, she then put it back and got a new one. I would say that the gluten-free food was delicious, and I would recommend it.

Their ability to mix-and-match flavors and different kinds of ice cream/toppings is very refreshing take on the dairy treat. One of the few places that has gluten-free cones. When the grill is open it is the best fast food around.
