Top 28 Gluten-Free Spots Across Longfellow, Iowa City

They have GF cupcakes. They are good! They store them separately and top them with separate saccapoche to avoid cross-contamination. I am celiac and this is a wonderful place to enjoy something sweet!

A friend suggested this place because they have gluten-free crepes. We had to go! The gentleman who greeted us right away made us feel at ease and he directed us to a table while we looked over the menues. I ordered jasmine tea, which came in a beautiful little cup and pitcher. We decided to split two crepes, the Ratatouille and the L'Ocean (smoked salmon). Both looked amazing and tasted even better! Flavor, texture, and presentation were a "10"! Sadly, we didn't save room for a dessert crepe, which we decided we'd have to come back for again. If the GF crepes were that delicious, I'd wager their regular crepes are outstanding. Definitely check this cute place out!

Very good food. Loved that I could get anything and didn’t have to worry about the food not being vegan. Also love the gluten free options. The sweet potato fries and chocolate cake are a must have.

Sydney Schroeder

awesomeness in a grilled cheese. sweet potato fries are bussin. gluten free bread is delish. blueberry lemonade:FIRE. 10/10. cheap. so fun.

Stopped in while traveling through Iowa City. Very spacious and modern. They have 2 different order points- 1 for coffee and 1 for food. This was nice as the lunch line was long and we just got drinks. The Gluten-free Blueberry Muffin was good, although a little on the dry side.

As a celiac coming into town for a few days, it was a little bit stressful to try to find gluten-free options here. However, the staff quickly oriented me to their options, and most of the menu can be made safe for us. The meals I had there were delicious and filling and healthy. Highly recommend.

I have to agree with the person who mentioned the undisclosed credit card fee. We came here in May after a graduation and the food was delicious! There were several gluten free optuons for my husband to pick from. The waitress was polite and very attentive. We tipped $75 on a dinner bill just over $200. I like to tip well for good service, especially for young peole doing an impressive job. I was surprised to see the $9 credit card convenience fee in 2023. Is that still a thing? I did notice they offer "free" valet, maybe the cc fee is actually gratuity for the valet. Which btw we did use valet and also tipped cash. I think the cc fee should be disclosed but the fee would not stop me from returning.

I love this place! My go-to sushi restaurant. They cater so well to gluten free!

Maxwell O'Saurus

The food is delicious and affordable, especially on Saturdays when kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The menu has gluten free and vegan options, which is a huge plus.

My wife and I had a wonderful evening here for NYE! Food and wine pairings were phenomenal and we enjoyed discussing French wine with the owner. They have a wide variety of options for Gluten Free on their menu and all the food we tried was delicious. We will be back!

I got two flavors: Cake batter and Strawberries & cream. I topped it with strawberry slices, strawberry popping pearls, and yogurt chips. There are about 10 yogurt flavors, but maybe 50 different toppings, so it's highly customizable. The store is local and eco conscious, the staff are friendly, and there are options for those with dietary restrictions such as dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan. Price is by weight, so be careful how you fill your dish. The yogurt pumps are self-serve and go fast, so it's easy to accidentally leave little room for toppings or buy more yogurt than you meant to.

Brittany Erickson

I love this place. Good food and the servers are perfect. The owner is cool af. Lots of vegan and gluten free options.

Jane Morse

Panchero’s is a never fail choice. Had a cousin here from Minnesota who is gluten intolerant….. she ordered the burrito bowl instead of a burrito and was able to forego the bread!

Wow. What a gem! If you're looking for Italian in Iowa, look no further! Not to mention if you're gluten-free like me, the staff was very knowledgeable about substitutions and can help you find something to eat. The highlight of my visit was a crustless cheesecake.

Nicholas Hansen

Excellent gluten free crust! My buddy was skeptical but I have to have it GF so he indulged me and loved it! Only complaint is they could have put more toppings on.

Lauren McGovern

I absolutely love this place. Their food is delicious, and they are always happy to make it gluten free for me with no trouble. I also really respect/love every restaurant that’s open late for night owls like me who want some real food at 2AM. My only wish is that they were open all day long for my lunch craving too, haha!!

Melinda Ragona

I got the drunken fried noodle with gluten and thai iced tea for lunch. It was delicious I will definitely be back soon! Great service.

Jerome Bell

Great sushi and great gluten free options! They even have gluten free imitation crab. Pretty much anything other than tempura can be made gluten free, and the waitress and manager were knowledgeable. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town again!

Sidnie Mckillip

Gluten free burger was great and didn’t fall apart like most gf buns! My waitress Shey was a great help and had great conversation!

Bijan Kholghi

We really liked the gluten-free Pizza crust. The Vegetarian and Supreme Pizza were really good. A classic Bar/Restaurant in Iowa City (since 1944)

J Kane

My first visit to Harry's. Gluten-free pancakes are on the menu. I asked if they made GF waffles; it seemed like they may not have in the past, but the chef said he could make a gluten-free waffle for me. I am uncertain of the cost as iI did not see or pay the bill (another ember of our party did). I haven't ever been to a restaurant that had GF waffles, so it was a special treat for me! It wasn't crowded at 830 am on Friday. Amanda was an attentive server and was very pleasant. Looking forward to trying the GF pancakes and several unique omelets on future occasions.

Katy Brown

Really delicious food, went for lunch with friends. Gluten free friendly! I had the spring rolls with shrimp and the lemongrass chicken with white rice. Both items were fresh and delicious! The service was good but the food came out quite staggered and we were the only diners of the 1.5 hours we were there. I really want to see this place succeed! The market opened behind it and seems like a great place to pick up the makings for a Vietnamese feast at home.

Jude Abel

Food was excellent. I had a gluten free bun with a beyond burger, and both the bun and patty were perfect. Wonderful atmosphere. Drinks are reasonably priced and tasty as well. Good for small groups! The owner is incredibly kind and checked on us after our food came out. We will be back again soon!

Lauren

I am a celiac and was pleasantly surprised that they have a whole gluten-free menu with lots of options! One of the servers said that she is a celiac, too. That was cool. The only thing that made me nervous was the wooden cutting boards they served my gluten free food on. Not sure how they clean them, or if they keep them separate from gluten serving boards, but I know we should mistrust all wooden utensils due to their absorbency. These had obvious cut marks on them and everything. Happily though, I didn't feel and signs of being glutened. With major gluten ingestions I definitely feel symptoms, and I had none to report here. Hopefully that bodes well.

Andrew Casto

Heard these guys now have NY style pizza by the slice and had to try, as good pizza truly matters to my soul. I was impressed - crust light and airy with a perfect crunch, pepperonis were curled on top, cheese was delicious. Hits all the marks as it should. A+! Also was given a free sample of green beans for my gluten free partner, and they were amazing - my kids even ate them! Glad to know about this and will be back!!

Sarah J Smith

Power Cafe - Not only is your menu selection fantastic, I also truly appreciate the note from today's order! I eat gluten free for dietary purposes only, not allergies. I have a friend with celiac disease, so just know this type of service is appreciated for those that do have these types of allergies. Thank you so much!

Debbie Jacobsmeier

Seemingly endless choices for sushi! Had a friend with celiac disease and the waitress was super knowledgeable about options she could eat safely. Pretty much you could have a sushi roll made to order with whatever ingredients you see on the menu. Other dinner choices are available too. It is not just sushi.

Marcie Tobin

Excellent buffet and if you are gluten free there are several things yo choose from.
