Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Kapaʻa

Ashley Byrne

Such good huge tacos! My husband and I got 3 and shared them and it was the perfect amount.

Megan Fisher

Five stars isn't enough - our experience here was truly exceptional! The gluten-free options were plentiful, and our waiter intuitively knew to bring my husband gluten-free starters without us even asking. The view was breathtaking, the atmosphere was lively and fun, and the live music added the perfect touch. The food was outstanding, and we left feeling thrilled with our choice

Came here because a gluten free wrap option was specifically mentioned by the owners in these reviews. They do not offer a gluten free wrap so don't expect to get that here. They offer gluten free bread but not exactly the same when you are looking for a breakfast burrito. They also advertise online ordering with no options to select gluten free substitutes. Disappointed.

Smith Family Garden went above and beyond for serving a celiac safe gluten free meal. Every person working were so kind and helpful from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Highly recommend.

Ashley Byrne

Really good falafel!!

Wayne Kever

Terrific food in a fun outdoor setting with shade and rain protection. We went twice and tried the kale salad, ultimate combo salad, pancakes, burgers, and a smoothie. All were excellent and our very sensitive celiac person was fine. All vegan and lots of gluten free.

We are so happy to have found Bobby Vs and the adjacent BVs Bourbon and Whiskey Bar! The service is excellent, prices are super reasonable, food is delicious, and the menu selection is great. They have wonderful cocktails, including the Smoked Bacon Maple Old Fashioned‐ highly recommended. Finally, they do well to accommodate gluten allergies and have a wonderful cauliflower pizza crust.

If you're a gluten free dairy free human like me, get the Daily Bread with the GF sourdough. I've tried so many GF breads at home and out and about and this was truly one of the best - and the homemade fruit spread/Mac nut butter were both great adds!

Sara Kooiman

Tasty, delicious food! And the customer service was phenomenal! Also a great find if gluten free needed! Highly recommend!

Jay Tkachuk

Great atmosphere - right on a picturesque beach! Food is ok (we had the original pancakes and a gluten-free toast), coffee is nuclear-grade strong (not our thing). Service is good, but moves on the Hawaiian time, so if you are short on time, not a place I would recommend. On the other hand, if you want to chill for a while, looking at the surf, this is the place to be. Chickens are pigeons are bold and annoying, but that’s how it is everywhere else on the island. Worth a visit, especially if you are already in the area for shopping in the Coconut Market. Good, but not great.

Sacha Anne

Grateful for Gluten free options!

Gregory Anderson

Excellent tacos, even by Texas standards. Offers gluten free options and had knowledge in the subject to instill confidence. Highly recommend.

I called to confirm there were gluten free/dairy free options and was told yes there was a whole menu. Great! It also showed up on the GF app, so when we were seated i was very disappointed that at first glance there was very little that seemed to actually be GF/DF. Honestly I was ready to leave, I didn't want plain white rice and some protein with no sauce or flavor. Thankfully the manager was very helpful and went over all the options we had, and was very patient. Curry was not on my mind for dinner, but it was SO good! So was the pork loin. Even though I couldn't have the regular side, the sauce was amazing, and they were very accommodating with options. The drinks and wine were stellar. Honestly I would come back every time for the poke. The avocado sauce was insane with the ahi. Thank you for being much more accommodating than first appearance of your allergy menu.

Shawn Shimkets

Gluten free pad Thai and pad see ew! Flavor and spice were both on point and the Thai tea was perfect. Definitely worth the stop 🤙🏼

Cassidy Hoglund

I never leave reviews and usually leave it to my husband to leave the reviews and they are usually not good. This place though….PHENOMENAL. The service…absolutely amazing. Everyone was running to make sure every table was taken care of and you could tell that each server was taking care of each other. They were hustling around the dining area and worked as a team and it was amazing. Our server had most of our half of the restaurant and made sure my husband’s beer was never empty. She was attentive and checked on us even though she was busy. She always made sure to check on us and made sure we were enjoying our time. She even put in for a dessert for our honeymoon ahead of time and surprised us. Best service on the island. The food…not one word can describe how amazing our food was. The Ahi and scallops I had were cooked perfectly and just melted in your mouth. My husbands Mahi was amazing also and he had nothing left on his plate. But the small plates kept us there. Their spring rolls were full of flavor and we wanted to order more and the hamachi sashimi was to die for. All around this was the best experience we’ve had so far on the island. Warning….parking is very limited so you may have to park in a different location and walk to this restaurant but it is totally worth it!!! Also, I’m gluten free, pork intolerant and have an issue with some shellfish and they were very accommodating .

Alexandra E

Great market that is similar to Whole Foods but local. Delicious fish tacos and burgers in the cafe that both can be made gluten free.

Seth Thomas

I really want to like this place, and I think it has potential but... Things that I enjoy about it: The patio is cute, and the interior is hip. The coffee is solid, and the music has been great during my visits. And it's vegan so bonus points for that, especially on an island that basically has Beyond Burgers as their only vegan option. Finally, the staff is very sweet. Things that are frustrating: The staff is also inexperienced and seemingly unable to multi-task. I waited ten minutes the other day for a drip coffee because the couple in front of me in line ordered coffee drinks and food. On another afternoon, I also saw a line of 12 people, and the mayhem that followed. They are also out of things constantly/perpetually. I've tried to buy a piece of chocolate banana bread every day for six days because the person in front of me bought the last piece during my first visit, but they have been out every day since (I show up every day at around seven in the morning so they don't sell out before I arrive.) They have also been out of the "lox" all week, and they're completely aware of it--the owner was there yesterday and said ,"That's the second person who tried to order it. I guess I should make some more." Do I even need to comment on how maddening it is when you're out still the next day and you know? Create a menu that you can maintain (I owned a French bakery/cafe for five years so trust me on this. You will irritate customers if you are always out of menu items. It's better to revamp it if you can't keep up.) Things that are unspeakable: There's been a recent trend everywhere to combine vegan and gluten free diets, despite the fact that it does great disservice to both diets and is probably relevant to only .001 of the population. Gluten baked goods need dairy and eggs for moisture, flavor, and body to be enjoyable. Vegan baked goods need gluten and all the help that they can get. This is an unholy arranged business marriage that hopes to capitalize on desperation and is lose-lose for everyone. The results are a bagel shaped thing that imitates cardboard pretending to be bagel. I really wish this place nothing but success. And if I visit Kauai again, I will stop in again and again, probably to find that they're still out of chocolate banana bread and "lox". Godspeed, my vegan brethren.

April Bielefeldt

For the chocolate Lava Vegan cake made in Kauai with all natural ingredients and gluten free too! Moist since many "healthy cakes" end up being chalky. Did not try anything else. But a coconut cake would have been purchased too if she had it. Need a small cake for 2 check her out

Riley Pennington

Fish tacos were great! They were accommodating to gluten free and allergies. If gluten free, grilled fish tacos were a great lunch!

Susan Holmes

Great place! Gluten free bread but no pastries.

Diana Kim

i’m dairy and gluten free so finding a place that has shave ice with df cream is hard to find. i had the ube shave ice and it was INCREDIBLE!!! you have to try this, it’s so insanely good! i shared with a friend but you can def eat this on your own too depending on how hungry you are. it’s HUGE.

leslie lufkin

Loved the fish tacos. Will eat there again before we leave. Good options for gluten free

Christopher Moore

A number of vegan and gluten free options. The owners are really nice and bend over backwards to try to make your meal as pleasant as possible. They are also wary to make sure the food is vegan, if you do seaire. Our kids really enjoyed their meals and Baba drinks.

Enoch Feroten

Good job on Beyond burgers. Gluten free bun a little extra $ . The music was the only turn off.

Katie Mason

Friendly service! Coffee is delicious! I also had a gluten free pastry bar that was really really good!

Kai Munechika

7 Gluten free poke options! Their furikake was also gluten free (the cashier kindly helped us check their furikake ingredients list). All of the 3 GF poke I tried were great. Their lau lau and lomi salmon was pretty good too. Coming back again for sure

Matthew Wied

Great place for a burger. They have gluten free options. It is also fun spraying the chicken with water bottles. IYKYK.

Jarred

Excellent service, amazing food and gluten and dairy free aware! Ty so much!!!

Katie Tobler Bryant

Delicious! We got the sampler plate, with coleslaw, rice and a side of Mac. Hubby ate the Mac, the rest was gluten free including the bbq sauce. The chicken was my favorite. So flavorful without any sauce! Great pick for classic bbq where the smoke does the work!

Sharon Verougstraete

Family run, amazing food, great service! Most of the menu is gluten free, too, which was a plus for one of our group.

Jan P

Food truck With a variety of food that includes gluten free and vegan, But clearly, if anybody read his menu items, he serves lamb, chicken, dairy and fish as well. Pretty hard to rate the atmosphere as five star. I had the spinach and cheese dish and it was excellent and a huge serving that could’ve served two for $20. If people want to complain about the price. they should ask first since prices weren’t listed. Authentic and I was asked if I would like low, medium or high heat and I had medium and it was good and spicy. If you don’t like hot food, then best you order low heat/spice.

Summer Ropele

no gluten free options as reviews mention! staff told us they have only ever sold vegan donuts

Cynthia Perley

Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had! And they have gluten free bread! Come here for great coffee

Aaron Johnson

- Had Gluten-Free homemade dough - Vegan Cheese - Generous toppings - Great Ingredients

Steve Murphy

Really cool store. Lots of organic, vegan and gluten free options at a decent price.

Y B

Except for the bread the whole menu was gluten free! Food was okay, all vegetarian, with vegan options available. It was all pre made. Service was excellent!

Read By Amma

Highly recommend. Truly the best fish taco. The fresh ahi was nuts. They catered so kindly to my gluten and dairy restrictions and it was delicious. Boyfriend had the fish burrito and it was filled and huge!!! Would definitely go back.

Lisa Cranston, EdD

Gluten free options too!

Rebekah Brower

Brian Swab

First the hostess needs to loose the face piercings for customer service (nose and lip piercing) Second we asked about gluten free options (she said they didn’t have any gluten free) Third the a party of 6 came in while we were waiting and asked if they could sit at the bar and have drinks while waiting to be seated (her response was I don’t think so the bartender might be busy) there was 8 open chairs and no one at the bar.

John Edwards

Spencer Thorpe

Good sushi. Tepanyakki was good. The chicken was very flavorful. We grabbed 3 sushi rolls and all were great. Only gripe was they didn’t have gluten free soy sauce (tamari)

Diana Engelhardt

Bringing in more and more great choices in organics. Great organic produce and a lot of vegan and gluten free choices in many catagories.

Ryan Gable

This was a great little family run restaurant. We got breakfast which was great. You can get your typical American breakfast or one with a Hawaiian flare. The family is extremely nice and helpful. It's located in a little strip mall. Looks like the grocery store is no longer there so there's not a lot else going on around it. But it was walking distance from where we were staying and along the main road. My wife is gluten-free and she was able to find plenty of options that work for her. So yeah you have to do

Chelsea Lewis

Absolutely delicious. We had a jerk plate and one of their vegan specials, and the most incredible tamarind nectar. Phenomenal food, cooked with love. So happy we stopped by! It’s also all gluten free, so for a celiac like me, I couldn’t be happier. Thanks y’all!

Dieter Pietsch

Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food at a good price-performance ratio. Help can also be provided for guests with a slight gluten allergy.

Debbie Lehne

I was hesitant to eat here because I couldn’t tell from an online search if there were gluten-free options available but I’m really glad I tried it! Several things are gluten-free including the guava bbq ribs, steak and catch of the day. I ordered the ribs and they were delicious, juicy and the meat just fell off the bones. They also have an amazing gluten-free dessert (sand pie) that is probably one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Great service too and nice atmosphere. Overall outstanding and wonderful experience!!!

Elaine Sloan

Gluten free burrito bowl is good. Good mojotoes

Katie Tobler Bryant

Nice tasty little place. I need gluten free, so I ordered the chicken satay and gluten free fried rice (they said that besides satay was my only option really). It was really good. (A lot of black pepper on the fried rice - which my husband loved, me not so much. Happy with the food overall!
