Top 15 Gluten-Free Spots to Discover in Woodland Heights, Des Moines

Hunter Gonzales

Food was delicious and decently priced, so many gluten free options. Service was quick and simple nice but not always checking up on you but consistent service overall. Kinda nosy but private as well. Definitely would come back as an outastater 👏

Crème has been amazing since the new owner came along. I’m gluten free and they always have fun options for us. I stop in a lot to get cupcakes for my own salon clients when I know they’re coming in near their birthday and I always grab cupcakes to take to my veterinary office as a thank you for always getting me in last minute. How can anyone be anything but excited to see you when you come walking in with cats in a carrier and half a dozen cupcakes from Crème in hand?! I love the creative flavors they’re bringing to DSM. Lastly… the thing that made me a super fan (and I’d like to see more of) are the mochi donuts! They are mind blowing! I am obsessed with them! The staff are always kind and helpful, the shop is clean and welcoming. But I really love having Crème around to surprise someone with!

THE BEST Southeast Asian restaurant around with the most friendly staff and coolest vibe. We order from lucky lotus at least once a week and it always satisfies! They have so many gluten free and vegan options and everything is delicious. Their spice is legit - I like my food super spicy and a level 3 hits the spot (this would be comparable to a level 4 or 5 at most places to order wisely). I highly recommend the tofu laap, summer rolls, nasi goreng, tofu char sui, nam khao, bing bing wraps, waterfall salad, khao soi, and basically anything that they have on their menu because i promise you it will be delicious and you will be coming back for more in less than a week. BTW Kevin, Z and the rest of the family and team are true gems and pour their hearts and souls into everything they do! So friendly. So amazing!

Super gluten free conscientious on top of DELICIOUS FOOD. I will be back over and over and can't recommend enough.

Loved everything we ordered!! They even helped us adjust our sushi orders to be gluten free. The specialty roll I ordered gluten free was so good.

A great place for lunch and very Gluten-Free Friendly.

I always have wonderful and quick service while eating here. Very vegan and gluten free friendly and food is always fresh. If you don't get a tortilla - you are offered chips for free, and they do not charge you extra for guacamole!

It was a little nosy but this place had an excellent menu and the pricing was good. Their gluten free options were well-labled and they had a good variety.

Tasty for a fast food noodle shop. They have keto, gluten free and loads of vegetarian option. Generous portions and great prices. I’ll be back.

This used to be my favorite lunch time spot to meet up with my mom. But for the last 3 years I have been gluten free due to allergies. My mom actually saw at another location of theirs that they do offer gluten free bread. So while I was in town visiting we decided to stop here. It was very quiet when we arrived and festive for the holidays. Now this location does carry gluten free bread. But it is not listed on the Ingersoll menu. It is not made in house. It is an Udi bread loaf. They change their gloves immediately when you ask for gluten free bread and bring out its own cutting board and knife at the sandwich station. Safety is taken very seriously. All deli meat is gluten free. I did not check any of their soups but they did have a gluten free strawberry cake and as always they have gluten free peanut butter cookies.

I came here for lunch with one of my friends who is Vegan and gluten-free. We originally tried to order something for her from the brunch menu--arepas, but the cook said that the cheese was already mixed in. They instead brought out the dinner menu where my friend was able to find something fulfilling that would also be kind to her tummy. Not only that, but her quinoa salad was absolutely to die for! We originally chose Panka because they were giving away free coffee for Latino Restaurant Week and were pleasantly surprised that they not only had a brunch menu, but that they are absolute perfectionists when it comes to execution of their food. You could taste the pride in every bite! We can't wait to come back here! You wouldn't think that it would be much in a little strip, but this restaurant is beautiful inside! They also have outdoor seating but there's a little bit of construction going on right now. Definitely one to put on your list!

We stopped here on a long drive from Colorado to Chicago, and were not disappointed! I had an oat milk cappuccino, and my husband had a lovely mocha. My only wish is for more gluten free treats, but the coffee is outstanding, so still 5 stars!

If you like Frozen Yogurt then there's no way to go wrong with this place. Never had a problem here. Staff are usually quite friendly and helpful. Great FroYo with plenty of info for those who have food allergies / gluten free etc. Seasonal flavors too.

I arrived for my second visit on Sept 6 2023, and ordered 3 dishes. One was with truffles. Gluten-free and vegetarian. However, after finishing the truffle with Leeks, I realized I was not feeling good. The rest of the night proceeded with full body hives, swollen lips, severe cold, diareah, vomit, and all extremities itching, and a plethora of experiences. I am not allergic to anything, so I suspect mold in the truffles and histamine response. Or a poisonous mushroom.

We've now ordered for delivery 3 times from Big Tomato and HANDS DOWN THE BEST PIZZA I've ever had! I always get stomach aches after eating pizza, but NOT with Big Tomato's pizza and I'm SO happy to find this out because I LOVE PIZZA! My favorite is their gluten free tomato, basil, and mazzerella cheese!!!! It's to die for!! I have had 4-5 flavors and there all amazing!!!
