Top 29 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Ohio City, Cleveland

I want to love Town Hall, as someone who has food allergies (gluten, dairy, & soy), but the last 2 times my order was made wrong. Both times they contained one of my allergies - the first time a burger came with cheese and the second time I was given the keto bun instead of the gluten free bun which contains dairy. The first time it was refunded since I was already home. The second time I was close by when I realized and they made it again. Food allergies are nothing to mess with though and to advertise as accommodating but consistently make food wrong is very frustrating. There’s clearly a lack of knowledge from staff or protocols are lacking.

Awesome vibe and delicious food. Very accommodating for food allergies - I have severe celiac / gluten free and they took care to ensure no cross contamination. Highly recommend

By far the best gluten free pizza I’ve had in Ohio! Fun spot open late on the weekends.

Gina Lopez

The food was great and had a really nice selection of options including gluten free.

Great food. Made fresh. Has gluten free and vegan options. The bread and slather are always a great choice. Offers a kids menu. Does sell alcohol. Nice small patio with picnic tables. Service is hit or miss. Can order take out.

We enjoy coming here from time to time. In general, we’ve had good service, and the food has always been very tasty and reasonably priced. Parking is along the streets, but can be very close by. In nice weather, there is an outside patio area for seating under an awning, like many cafés in France. There are two main dining areas inside, a smaller cafe-like area and larger, more decorative dining room through a doorway. The dishes we had were not available in the selections list on Google. Those included le Champions (mushrooms) Bourguignon and the Crepe d’Ratatouille (vegetable stew) in a buckwheat crepe (gluten free). The latter has cheese, though I believe they would prepare it without cheese if asked. Our server was efficient and courteous. Getting older now and being later evening, I opted for decaf coffee, which wasn’t the best; it may be the worst thing I’ve had there, but is the exception overall.

I’ve been to all 3 Luca restaurants. Every time it has been fantastic. The service is impeccable at each location and the food is always amazing. This is definitely the place to go for happy hour. I have celiac so I love the fact they have dishes and pasta I can eat. They have an excellent wine selection and strong cocktails. My cousin and I went to Aqua and East Bank last week for happy hours. The calamari is to die for. The bartenders were wonderful. I went to the west location a few months ago and had the same experience.

This place has amazing food and is knowledgeable about gluten free. I ate so much I hurt.

Located in Ohio City just across the bridge from downtown jaja is not just a restaurant, it's a culinary experience and it's my new standard for what I think a 10/10 dining experience should be. The ambiance was mid century with South American flair all brightly lit and airy thanks to a full ceiling greenhouse roof that I'm told was retractable 🤯. The service was impeccable, from the moment we got off the elevator we were greeted by the attentive wait staff who were very knowledgeable about the menu and offered genuine recommendations. Every aspect of the dining experience is thoughtfully executed. The menu had so many carefully crafted dishes, even the flavors that would seem like a bad pairing melded together perfectly on the taste buds. I am happy it was a small plate serving style so we could try as many dishes as we could. I was most impressed with the goat cheese dates and Eggplant spread. I would recommend jaja to anyone looking for a date night spot or a small group gathering, their menu also denotes which dishes contained dairy, gluten, and nuts.

All around a great place for a casual dining experience. Love the food, especially the variety of burgers and unique toppings. Thank you for the gluten free options. They have awesome GF buns.

Visited the West Side Market today for the first time. Because I am gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and avoid everything artificial, meaning.no artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners, I knew it would be a shot in the dark finding anything I could safely eat. But I was pleasantly surprised when I found this merchant all tucked away in the corner. It is called AlmondBetter. And my oh my, my eyes lit up when I saw their sign posted saying that it was gluten-free, dairy-free, VEGAN , etc. I got so excited because I am never this lucky. The products that they sell are a hummus made with almonds, not chickpeas. I tasted the samples. OMG!!! They had a special where you save money when you buy two. I purchased the chipotle and sweet beet. Got back home and couldn't wait to sit down and devour them. I decided to eat.a little of both flavors with Simple Mills Sea Salt crackers. And yes!! It was so delicious! Tomorrow I will eat the hummus with celery and carrots. I am so happy I found AlmondBetter and can't wait to buy more.

A lovely place with excellent Mexican inspired foods. They label gluten free on the menu which is amazing.

Delicious sandwich! Five stars for the bravocado alone. Extra points for having gluten free options. I wouldn’t be able to eat here otherwise. My everlasting gaze smoothie with coffee, oat mylk, banana and other yummy ingredients was the perfect dessert. I ordered online and my food was ready well before the estimated time. I was five minutes away. When I walked in, my food was ready to go. There were still almost ten minutes left on the clock.

My coffee spot in CLE. My favorite Cold Brew and gluten free muffin stop. Would love a GF breakfast sammich next. Appreciate the plants and albums!

Tour Guide Cory

Iced Vanilla Latte was great! Friendly staff. They were understaffed and felt faster than starbucks when busy. Also, they have some gluten free baked goods from philomena.

Don't be turned off by the quirky ordering system--you get a menu at your table and then order both your drinks and food at the hostess station--this place is WORTH IT. Modern, clean, cool staff, varied menu. Our family of vegetarians (including one gluten free) had our stomachs stuffed and our taste buds rocked. I've had a lot of house-made veggie burgers (usually soggy black bean paste); this was BY FAR the best veggie burger I've had. It was just like a Big Mac. The roasted Brussels sprouts were amazing. Just an incredible culinary experience. Do I wish they had table service? Yes, because I'm lazy. But, push through your laziness and embrace this place. Best food I've had in a looooong time.

Daria

Many gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options available

Very authentic Cambodian food. Owner was very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and was easily able to suggest a meal. Would absolutely come back!!

I'm writing this a few hours after having eaten here with a friend. From the moment we stepped inside, the staff were phenomenal. We were greeted by the door and asked if we had ever been there before. They let us pick where we wanted to sit and ensured that we had drinks within the first few minutes of walking in the door. Our waiter was also extremely attentive. As soon as I mentioned that I have celiac disease, he informed me about the precautions they take and what on the menu would be safe for me to eat. He also mentioned possible accommodations if there was anything that wasn't explicitly marked Gluten Free on the menu (and a large portion of it was already marked gf!). I immediately knew I would be walking out of here without getting sick. When we ordered an appetizer for the table, they brought corn tortillas as an alternative to fried chips which were excellent. The dip almost put me in tears since it was so delicious! My main course was the blue corn enchiladas. It was scrumptious and the plating was beautiful! Honestly one of the best meals I've had in years. They knew exactly which dish was mine (gf) and which one was my friends (non-gf). Everyone was extremely kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. Arguably this was one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had, even when I didn't have dietary restrictions. I cannot recommend this place enough and I would give it 7/5 stars if I could.

Paige Sanders

This place awesome. Love the manager Jared and Danielle. Yummy food, good music, nice chefs, nice vibe!!!! Love that there's gluten-free options too! Staff is so nice - I cant wait tor return.

A really good selection of soups! Spicy, mild, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and more. The employee was very helpful. Wish I had gotten a couple more kinds of soup for the rest of the week!! I want to go back for more.

Priscilla Zhang

I got the gluten free black garlic ramen and it was delicious! The service was very friendly and the patio was so cute. The ramen tasted amazing, very rich, slow cooked broth and delicious pork. The gluten free version seemed to only change the noodle type.

Courtney Stout

Very delish smoothies. Super cute inside. All ingredients are vegan and gluten free. Friendly staff!

The rosemary bagel had an absolute choke hold on me. I've been gluten free for 3 years, but I would highly consider causing myself distress for another shot at one. IT IS THAT GOOD.

Jamie Spindler

Loved the latte, strong but not bitter. And was pleasantly surprised to find gluten free treats - banana muffins!

Bean !

This place was very good! I ordered a burrito bowl which was extremely filling! I was able to get 3 meals out of it. They had many options to choose from to fill up the bowl which was nice. Much more than Chiptole! It tasted very fresh and good! It was also gluten free which was very nice! I would definitely stop by here again in the future!

Christiana McCarthy

I threw my friends a surprise engagement dinner and they were very accommodating. Marcos, our server, was absolutely fantastic. You can tell he really wants you to have a good experience and he took excellent care of us. The food and drinks were amazing. I would recommend this restaurant time and time again. They also have great gluten free substitutions!

Steve Bozsa

A really wonderful place to stop for a break during the work day also gluten-free free options for those who need that option
