Top 33 Gluten-Free Places Across Cambridge

They are innovative and constantly changing their offerings. My non-GF mom likes their iced sugar cookies more than regular ones. Pricy but amazing!

We ate brunch here and it was amazing. The food was delicious and unlike any Japanese food I've had before. There is amazing attention to detail in the taste. They are also incredibly Gluten-free friendly. Only one item on the brunch menu had wheat and the fryer was wheat free.

Lots of interesting food but I wouldn't go here if you are coeliac because they can't promise there's been no cross contamination (due to the chicken alternative Seitan). The strawberry milkshake was the best I've had in a while.

Tanuj Chawla

A beautiful ambience and some very supportive staff. Unfortunately though they have limited gluten free and low-FODMAP options. So, folks with food sensitivities- this lovely place ain't for you.

gluten free cafe and bakery!!!

I will follow this restaurant to every location they move to! The food is absolutely phenomenal, full of perfectly balanced spices, not too heavy, hot, fast and delicious. Wide variety on the menu and lots of options even for vegans or gluten free. Would go here every week if I could. Our favorites: vegetable makhani, goat madras, and the paneer tikka masala. Take out is great but food is even better if you can make it in person!

Delicious! Gluten free options! Great service!

Gabriella Bauer

As someone who is always on the search for delicious, local gf eats, this place definitely hit the spot! Food was surprisingly filling without being greasy, and had delicious complex flavors despite being outwardly simple. I tend to be a fan of Brazilian cuisine due to the great flavors and gluten friendly versatility, and this was no exception. However, I do wish they had more dairy free items (I am also lactose intolerant).

The Abbey is the perfect place to grab drinks with friends at midnight, enjoy a tomato bisque with parents at 5pm, and get married!! lol yes I did get married here a month ago, and prior to that event, my partner and I have been proud patrons for the last 3.5 years. An excellent $12 cocktail menu, delicious cod and steak frites, and a warm, classy but casual atmosphere. Servers are consistently great. They also have an entirely separate gluten-free menu that my gluten-free friends are super happy with. We also reserved their downstairs for our 30-person wedding! Dean, the manager, was super enjoyable to work with to plan the event, and Rachel and Matt were our bartenders and servers day-of and really made everything so easy. Thank you guys! If you’re looking for a wedding space that’s inviting, classy, and casual, and you don’t mind getting married in front of an exit sign (we did not mind lol), I strongly recommend. We genuinely feel that the evening was pretty perfect, and our friends are still raving about the tomato bisque and grilled cheese. I could also imagine their downstairs being a great space for any relatively intimate event you’d like to host! If you’re not planning to get married soon, I’d still suggest stopping by for an enjoyable meal and cleverly named cocktail. We will be soon.

A dedicated gluten free fryer, gluten free beer, this place is amazing! Theres tons of seating and the service was good, I’d go back for the gf fried chicken sandwich.

Seth Gertz-Billingsley

Edit: Came back for lunch. Great service, amazing food. Excellent gluten-free options. Affordable for the area and great portions. I think you get a little more if you dine in rather than take out. Evening: Good margaritas for a good price! Rooftop is probably not worth the wait unless you have a good-sized group. Will probably return.

Jess Goode

Amazing Thai food! They have many gluten free options, a great atmosphere, and wonderful service.

Tom Kirkpatrick

Good gluten free options

Lone star is my FAVORITE taco place in the north. I've been eating here for over 10 years at this point. The avocado griddled queso taco is a must- have. The house margarita is awesome, too. Never NOT enjoyed my meal or drinks here. Almost everything on the lunch and dinner menus are gluten free. I don't order breakfast here much since the use flour tortillas for those dishes. This is mostly small plate style, so order a few things. Prices have gone up a bit over the years. Wouldn't call it cheap. I don't blame the place, I blame the economy. This is a place I bring out of towners to and celebrate things like birthdays at. Food always comes out quickly. It's got a good vibe and NO SPORTS ON MASSIVE SCREENS. I get take out, delivery, and eat in. Can verify that the food quality does not suffer if you aren't eating in. The place can get cramped because I'm not the only one who loves this place. Parking can be terrible with all the resident only areas on all the side streets.

If you're looking for a cute spot for a date night, ladies night or just a night out, go to Nirvana!!! They are following COVID protocols to the T and have some super cozy heaters for outdoor dining. All of our dishes were top notch, and if you've got Celiac Disease their menu is super easy to navigate.

Gary S. Y. Touyz

Excellent experience. As someone with Celiac Disease, dining out is a challenge but this place was exceptional. Great selection of gluten free battered fish, baked goods, and complimentary GF warm bread rolls which were delicious.

Gluten free plain and everything bagels! There is a dedicated toaster! Definitely get there early as they do sell out but so nice to have the option and enjoy!

gluten free/ celiac safe options

Beautiful decorations and lively but comfortable seating, the music was awesome. We had the drunken noodles, pad Thai, a sushi dish, appetizers, as well as spicy marg and a lovely drink called persephone. Reserving was easy, food wqs made very well (great options for spice level, vegan, gluten free etc.), we did not wait long to have great food and leftovers to enjoy. Came for a chill and wonderful celebrating occasion and had. an amazing time, I even had a separate problem after my reservation I had misplaced a belonging I found later on, still the staff and owner were so kind and quick to help me look. long live the mad monkfish, have been coming and ordering for years and always enjoy

Markus Lövgren

Has lovely thin crust pizza and gluten-free options.

Brett Murphy Hunt

The atmosphere is nice, but the food is very very average. The Bangkok noodles and octopus were overcharred, such that none of the other flavor notes came through almost at all. An extra star for gluten free consciousness. But it was a two star experience in terms of the culinary side. And very pricey for tapas. If you end up here with a group of friends, it won’t be the worst thing, but don’t waste a date night.

GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS NOT GLUTEN-FREE I came to this location on 6/5/24. I was very excited to be visiting this restaurant in Cambridge. I am vegan and have a gluten allergy and saw on the menu that many items were denoted gluten-free so I was very happy that there would be food for me to eat. (I had also not eaten all day so I was extra excited.) I went up to the counter to order and while ordering was told (in a very rude/smug way) by the people working the register that everything that is noted as gluten free is not actually gluten free but “gluten friendly” and not safe for an allergy and they would not recommend for anyone who actually eats gluten free to eat at their restaurant. Either the menu needs to be changed to say “gluten friendly” or a kitchen process needs to be changed so the gluten free options are actually gluten free and there is no cross contamination. I do appreciate that they let me know so I didn’t get glutened but I shouldn’t have found out while ordering - it should have been clearer (and that’s on Veggie Grill). The staff at this location were also rude, unhelpful, and didn’t offer any suggestions. They honestly didn’t care and were not kind at all. I hope management changes the menu to be clearer so people that do have a gluten allergy are able to either eat safety or don’t come with their hopes up only to not be able to eat not anything. They should also train their staff on some basic customer service/kindness. (They didn’t even apologize - which I feel like is just like basic customer service.) Maybe other staff members are great and the ones that were working the register were just the bottom of the barrel but I am honestly shocked with how I was treated. Luckily, I don’t live in Cambridge so I won’t run into this issue again but I want to flag this for future gluten-free travelers (and honestly anyone who may come into this seemingly wonderful place…).

Even though they did not have the gluten free buns left, we had the option to have them made with a lettuce wrap. I have not been here in many years, and their sunrise burger tastes better than I remember. Tasty Burger also tastes 100% better than Lotta Burgers down south/southwest.

Angi Horn

We were very pleased with our visit. Amazing service and the food was great. Much bigger portions than we were expecting, we ordered way too much! My niece is gluten free and the server marked up the menu to show exactly what was gf or could be modified to be gf. Amazing service! We had the ubiquitous kale salad, burrata that comes with sweet potato bread (gf bread also available), grilled broccoli with hummus, and roasted potatoes. Both the cocktails and cocktails were great too!

Kathryn Sheehan

Love this restaurant. They do a great job handling allergies, lots of gluten free options!! The bacon wrapped dates are my absolute favorite!

T Sun

It is very busy at noon on weekdays, but there is no shortage of seats. It feels like everyone is enjoying their leisure time amidst the noise. The food is delicious, there is a gluten friendly menu, there is no vegan food (you can adjust it yourself without adding anything), and you can't just make egg white.

Paige Farrin

Negligent with allergies!!! I explained I have gluten and dairy allergies which was written on the ticket and the person preparing the food was handling bread and immediately touched my food without changing gloves. If I hadnt looked up as it happened I would have gotten severely ill. I pointed it out and explained again that it's a severe allergy and would need them to change gloves and they still tried to give me the same bowl. Definitely not safe for people with actual allergies!!!

Nicole Alimena

Great gluten free options, if you’re gf!

Alexander James L

nice chill place, and my go to for getting gluten free bread as they distribute "Something sweet without wheat" white bread which so far is the best gluten free bread I've had! The upcharge on the gluten free bagels seems a lot though ($24 for 6!). The sandwiches and bagels they serve are always nice though, and the service is super friendly.

Donal Waide

Pretty decent food. Would return for some items. Chicken was juicy. Still curious are about a menu item, Gravity beer listed as "reduced gluten"

Maggie Maurin

This is my regular neighborhood gluten free pizza spot!! It's nice to start with a salad or the gf meatballs and then grab a cheese or pepperoni pizza. I always know I'm gonna leave full and happy. Food comes out quickly and consistently delicious.

Lori N

The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was excellent, except they didn’t have any gluten free bread, which is so surprising these days. Unfortunately our server did not pay any attention to us. We had to ask for water 3 times and finally grabbed another server to get us some. The same thing happened with my coffee. No one checked in after we were served our meal to see if we needed anything else. The restaurant requires a credit card to hold your reservation. That’s fine, but if I am going to put money down to eat at an establishment, the food and service should be top notch.

Kenichi Iwasaki

We had delicious doughnuts at this store the other day. What’s special about this place is that they make great gluten-free doughnuts which I find precious. For people who cannot eat gluten, finding good doughnut stores that make decent gluten-free doughnuts isn’t always easy, especially doughnuts carefully made not to have any gluten contamination from other food sources. We’d definitely visit this store again. Thank you for making sure to include gluten-free doughnuts on your menu. That makes a huge difference for some people. We truly appreciate it.

Kara Merry

Good ice cream... some is lactate free or gluten free

Carlos Rappoport

Excellent service and very good quality of products, variety in gluten free. Recommended 😃😃😃

Velda Christensen

Morning caffeine was good. Could use more gluten free vegan options 😉

Vy Nguyen

Such a lovely quaint restaurant. The inside was neat and clean with quiet jazz played in the background. The food was fantastic. Everything was well-seasoned with a nice mix of spices that made each dish pop. There were many gluten-free and vegetarian options too. The host also informed us that the restaurant did not use gmo products and artificial colorings so those with such concerns can rest easy :) We ended up trying the jeera chicken, basil shrimp, chicken & mushroom takari curry, chicken momos with tikka masala, and garlic naan. The jeera chicken came with crispy puffed rice which was really fun to eat. The garlic naan was very soft and went well with the tikka masala. For drinks we tried the strawberry lassi and rupee lager. The lassi was delicious, not too sweet, had great fruity flavor mellowed by dairy with a touch of spice. The rupee was a nice smooth beer that was not very hoppy or bitter and paired well with the food as advertised. So happy to find another local gem. Looking forward to trying their other dishes and lassi flavors.

Mothership is a must-visit! Their gluten-free options are amazing—full of flavor and thoughtfully prepared. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. If you’re looking for delicious food and great service, this is the place to go!

Marissa Gillis

Great food and drinks and have options for celiacs!

Melissa A. Miller

Great sushi place that offers gluten-free options.

Vita Tsareva

It was my best experience at Japanese restaurant! They have many gluten free options; salmon teriyaki is very tasty, and dragon maki is best of the best. All products are very fresh. In two days we were here 4 times!!! GOD BLESS FUJI!!!

Rebecca Kowalczyk

I tried Cafe Sushi for the first time tonight and it completely exceeded my expectations. I ordered it through delivery to indulge in after a nine month pregnancy sushi drought. After eating hospital food for a while, I was especially looking forward to it, but often get disappointed when trying new restaurants because most struggle to accommodate my gluten allergy. All of the dishes I ordered were not only exceptionally fresh, delicious and well composed, but completely safe. They were carefully labeled with stickers and notes on the receipt to confirm careful prep. None of the dishes felt like they were missing key ingredients (it's clearly not one of those places that accommodates allergies by taking half of the ingredients out of the dish or telling you that you can "just have an salad"). There were special, seasonal and local ingredients in the dishes and a huge variety of flavors. The fish had that buttery texture you only get in the best places. I would say it was exactly the meal I was dreaming about and hoping to have post baby, but it was even better than that. Thank you so much Cafe Sushi!

decent coffee, plus gluten-free options and space to work/study/read

Kristin Schnippenkötter-Reiß

Lovely GF, DF and SF options.

Diamond Ho

Good selection of pastries. My partner really enjoyed their sandwich. Gluten free bread is dry and crumbly. If you are gluten free, don’t bother coming

Marjory Bravard

Tons of great gluten free options for this celiac, actually only 4 menu items with gluten.

Mary Wilcox

We came mostly for the desserts, and they are absolutely delicious. The available ice cream flavors were really creative. We chose the pink peppercorn flavor which was fruity and fun to eat. The pistachio white chocolate cake was the favorite of the composed desserts we had, but the peaches & cream (the gluten-free but not nut-free option) dessert and (dark) chocolate tart were also amazing. If it weren't for the fact that we don't have an unlimited budget and desserts in general aren't exactly healthy in large quantities, I could make a daily meal of just the desserts.

T Keeps

Best burgers we have had in a very long time. Waitress cared enough about my daughter's gluten allergy that she double checked with the chef and came back to correct one part of our order to be GF. This place was a home run. I just wish they had a location closer to my home!!!!
