Top 8 Gluten-Free Spots Across Bainbridge Island

Madison Aviles

So many gluten free options! Will definitely come again next time we are visiting Bainbridge. Prince was our server and was fantastic. 10/10

Blackbird Bakery created all of the baked goods for our dessert bar at our wedding - they helped us determine quantities, sizes of platters we would need to rent, and were able to deliver to the venue. I have celiac disease and Heidi, the owner, was very clear that they are not a dedicated gluten free facility. She talked me through their cross-contamination prevention protocols, they have dedicated prep space, kitchen utensils, mixing bowls, etc. I appreciated the thoughtful warning, and as I have eaten there many, many times without getting sick, I felt safe ordering for our wedding. We were able to have a delicious selection of pies, their famous Italian cream cake, cookies, and cupcakes - including some non-gluten free vegan cupcakes for our vegan guests. We were able to go in for a "tasting" of sorts and look through their wedding book of previous events - where we had some cookies and a mezzaluna so I could taste their GF pie crust. If you have a chance, I highly recommend ordering an Italian cream cake or GF pie custom - it will blow your mind! Thank you again Heidi and the Blackbird Team!

came here for lunch as the Find Me Gluten Free app had enough reviews to make me think it was safe for someone with celiac disease. I asked our waitress several questions before ordering and she assured me that my prime rib sandwich on a gf bun would be safe. 4 bites in, after I had asked her to double check if the jus was safe, she let me know that the meat itself was basted in jus which had wheat. they brought me out a different sandwich which they rushed but never apologized up until I was leaving. the second sandwich took time to come out. the manager didn’t stop by our table and the waitress didn’t handle the situation well. the kitchen should’ve seen my order flagged as celiac and known not to serve me something with wheat. celiac is an autoimmune disorder where gluten causes damage to your stomach lining. so they essentially poisoned me and didn’t seem all too sorry. they still charged me for my meal and it wasn’t until I told them I shouldn’t have to pay that they comped me and apologized. they entire lunch was very awkward and put a huge damper on the energy of our day celebrating our friends 30th birthday. what a bummer. I was sick the rest of the day. I wouldn’t return.

Awesome food! Great options if you are gluten and dairy intolerant. Wonderful staff and owner

Great small coffee shop! The matcha is really good. Not too busy, since it was Monday. I got my drinks fast and they tasted great! Overall no complaints, although I can see how the place can quickly get crowded and the staff overwhelmed, as per some of the other reviews, especially since I can see it being a popular tourist spot, but today all was great! The lemon lavender donut was pretty tasty, but a little bit on the dryer side, but understandable since it is gluten free as well as vegan. I would still get one again. I will come back next time I am in town for sure!

My favorite place to eat on Bainbridge Island. The gluten free crust on the pizza is to die for. Great staff, fast service. Frequent customer.

I eat here very often with celiac. They are very conscious and they have a gluten free hoisin and the peanut sauce is gf.

Great little pizza place and quick. There is nowhere to sit inside, so it's for take out only. We sat in the park in front and ate the pizza on the grass. There are a couple of 2 seat round tables outside, but there is no shade/umbrella. Gluten free comes in medium or large. Forgot to ask for extra sauce, but they gave extra on the side. Gluten free crust isn't bad, typical thin, crispy crust. Staff was great(June 6 2023)

Excellent service and food — very tasty! Gluten free options available!

Second time here and can confidently say that this is a must-visit while on Bainbridge island. The food is reasonably priced and the menu is very diverse. For what it’s worth, we couldn’t make a reservation online but we showed up and got a table for two outside immediately. As far as the food, we actually came here the day after they changed the menu for the season so lucky us! Attached are pictures of the Thai iced coffee, taro egg rolls (gluten-free but delicious), pineapple rainbow trout, the caramel popcorn bread pudding and the seasonal panna cotta! A few honorable mentions (no pictures unfortunately!) from our first visit include the soft shell crab roll, the chili lime calamari, and the fire roasted clam!

Other than the view, there isn’t a whole lot good about this place. The food was expensive and had no flavor. We had 3 and 4+ spicy levels and it didn’t have any flavor. One of the people in our party was gluten free and, even after being told the dish was gluten free, this was not the case. Another fish dish was not cooked correctly. Find somewhere else

If you eat Gluten you MUST get the biscuit. They're pillows of fluffy delight with an incredible raspberry preserve that will haunt my dreams. The sausage & pesto lovers omelet and breakfast burrito were also amazing, but the biscuit and strawberry muffin we had were next level.

Chris Ardelt

Good selection of pizza. Have some gluten free options as well

Ian Affleck-Asch

Very tasty! Service and food were prompt and excellent! There was one appetizer and one entree that were gluten-free friendly

Katy Curran

I can’t eat gluten or alliums and they were able to set me up with a side of rice, salmon sashimi and gluten free soy sauce. It was delicious!!

Annie Thompson

Great small coffee shoppe! The person who made the coffee was awesome, extremely friendly and gave fast service. The coffee was great and the treats were delectable! They have foods for almost every diet (which was very helpful being a gluten free vegetarian). After having our snack my mother and I walked around the nursery next door, which was lovely!

Family day on Bainbridge means lunch at Cafe Hitchcock. Even on a busy Saturday we were immediately seated and served. The menu is simple but delightful. Our table ordered the Pastrami sandwich which was nearly a Reuben, an enormous kale salad (yes, kale, it was awesome) a cup of creamy tomato soup, and the Carnivores soup which was a super yummy spicy stew. Service was fast and friendly and we had a lovely time. They were more than accommodating our gluten sensitivity with plenty of options. I’d deduct a half star if I could, though, because I dislike the practice of adding a non-gratuity surcharge to the bill.

Jacqueline Pham

Great Thai restaurant in Bainbridge Island. Food is delicious. Good selection of gluten free options. Friendly service.

Sauce Nouvelle is an 11/10. The guys were very hospitable. It was my first time at the shop. They helped me make a decision on which sandwich to order (kiwi pesto pork), and they made me feel comfortable with my gluten allergy. The flavors are so inventive, and they switch it up every few weeks. I can’t wait to return to see what they’re cooking up!

Rick Vandenhole

This is a quaint little burger place with excellent food. My dietary requirements often limit my options, but I was able to enjoy a really delicious cheeseburger with an Impossible vegan patty and a Rudi's gluten free bun. With "all the fixin's" and a side of sweet potato fries.

Kevin Hazzard

Very accommodating of my wife's Celiac and gluten sensitivity. The trout dish was our favorite. Exploding with complex flavors.

Sofia Jara

The waiters are very attentive and the food is delicious, fresh products and a lot of variety, they have gluten-free options!

Christina Bates

Tons of gf options. Had a great macron and my sons had the coffee cake and a whoopie pie. All were delicious.

Very good selection of gluten-free products, the salad bar is also very tasty with ready-made salads. A very good market for shopping for daily needs

Trattoria Isola is a good example of a high quality restaurant and bar. With a cozy atmosphere and half a dozen tables, you may end up conversing with the table next to you! The price may be correspondingly high to the quality, but good food is worth the price. The lobster ravioli was my favorite, but every dish and cocktail was good for my group. Lastly, our server Tyler was also excellent, and knew which dishes were gluten-free even with it being their first day!
