Top 35 Gluten-Free Vegan Spots to Explore in Honolulu

We stopped by Lulu’s for lunch because they have a pretty robust selection of gluten free items, which seems hard to come by in Waikiki. We had a lot of trouble with our order - 2 of our drinks had to be remade, the eggs on my Lulu Moco were fried instead of the requested over easy, and we ended up with a fly in another drink.. BUT I’ll say Sage, the waiter, and the manager both handled it really well. Both were very on top of getting things remade and coming to check on us to make sure everything was fixed to liking. The food was also good, but the fish tacos were definitely the best thing any of us ordered.

After my spiel, they reassured me both over the phone and in person that they were able to serve Celiacs with confidence. It took me literally two bites and a speed run to the washroom to realize that was completely untrue. I left the meal 98% untouched, and informed the server that the food had made me ill and that we needed to pay ASAP so I could go back to my private hotel bathroom. Paid for everything and left in tears - the staff didn’t even apologise or offer to comp my meal. Was a great last night for our vacation. Slay Noi Thai

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Audrey Palmer

Food was delicious! Services was excellent. Our server, Julia, was friendly, efficient and helpful. My husband and I are both celiac and they understood and made sure our food was safe for us. Would highly recommend!

Such a cool place to eat! I got a spinach bagel made on gluten free bread that was a little disappointing because it wasnt super flavorful, but my husband got the pineapple pizza on gluten free crust and that was super good! I appreciate there being gluten free options! They will make the bagels or sandwiches with gluten free bread! And they play hawaiian Jesus music and they just put on such a nice atmosphere here. :) this place deserves more business!

Great place for variety. Portion sizes are large and plentiful. The wait staff are lovely and were very informed about gluten free requirements. Have eaten here twice during my stay and no issues after eating. Great gluten free choices available. The fries are cooked separately and are gf also! Thank you for a wonderful meal. If you want to come and eat here, come early as it's very popular and you may have to line up and wait a little, but the line moves quickly.

Overpriced but good açai. It is not the typical Brazilian açai it is blended with banana and other things. No seating space. Has gluten-free granola.

Gillian Haden

Delicious gluten free and dairy free ice cream, right off the beach! The fruit was always fresh, and the combinations were perfect!

Brittaney Johnson

Great gluten free pizza! This gluten-free pizza stands out compared to most I’ve tried nationwide. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone with Celiacs. No actual parking though...even picking up the pizza was challenging...I guess there was a parking garage behind the place.

Kristy Sowin

Best breakfast bagel I’ve EVER had. I’m gluten free and they have a ton of options for us GF peeps. Also, the honey latte was incredible!

Justin Ferriman

Plenty of vegan / gluten free options, as well as meat and fish. Excellent sides. Owner is the chef and is super friendly. Recommended!

This is THE BEST vegan food in Oahu. I’m both vegan and gluten free, those two combined is sparse here but this food truck saved my trip. I came everyday. The Nozzerella Sticks ALONE are worth the trip. Both of the pulled meat fries are amazing. Crème brûlée? I could eat 5. This is a MUST try. 10000/10 (this is coming from someone who rarely writes reviews and exclusively cooks at home because of my allergies)

Celebrated our anniversary here and Roy’s was lovely. The food is was amazing, as well as the service. Made reservations, as most places in Honolulu need a reservation to get in and there was a slight wait to our table. The misoyaki butterfish was succulent and delicious. The carpaccio, tataki, and poke was refreshing. They were able to accommodate our dietary needs for gluten free. Keep room for desserts at the end. They also gave us ice cream at the end for our celebration.

Beautiful beach Cafe with amazing view, friendly service, and great food. Clearly labeled vegan and gluten free food. I got the vegan Moco Loco with fried rice and it was delicious. It was enough for two people. The rice was a touch undercooked. The lava flow smoothie was so good!

Kelly Smith

Atmosphere was decent & inviting. Service was basic with self ordering. Gluten Free French toast was burnt on the underside. Pretty much ruined the desire to go back.

Mark Hook

No frills restaurant with very good food, staff was very knowledgable and able to cater for our coeliac daughter (which we found to be a struggle in other restaurants around Waikiki). Food was lovely, great place for a quick meal.

Kate

My new favorite Thai restaurant!! Most delicious of any I’ve been to. Love the atmosphere, with all seating outside. Very accommodating and able to make lots of dishes vegan, if not already (some have fish sauce.) Appreciate the clear labeling on the menu for vegan and gluten free. Big portions! We had to wait for a table for lunch, Fri at 1. So might be a good idea to make reservations.

I love their Monkey Oatmeal, Breakfast Burrito and I also tried their Ulu muffin (gluten free/ dairy free). I'll for sure will be back.

Wenyi Lau

This is such a wonderful soft serve/dessert shop! I love that they are completely vegan and they have such unique rotating flavors! The show stopper though, is definitely the strawberry milkshake and their hot kulolo sundae! The strawberry milkshake is made with GLUTEN FREE Malt so that means that people who are gluten and dairy intolerant can actually drink it! It tastes so delicious and wonderful in every way. Their hot kulolo sundae is also so good. The hot kulolo mixed with the toasted macnuts make the sundae taste good regardless of the base. It's like a true taste of Hawaii in your mouth. 11/10 would recommend. Definitely a local favorite. My only qualm is that I wish they were open later! I feel like they close just an hour too early because a lot of people aren't even done with dinner by the time they close! But I will forever be a patron to them and I try to go in as often as I can.

Fantastic! Fresh food, excellent service, and not only does their menu indicate what's gluten-free, they had gluten-free shoyu for me to use :) Will def return.

Rebecca Sorgini

Wow!! I feel like they don’t advertise it at all, but this location in particular has certified gluten free options for sensitive celiacs like myself! The waiter explained everything really well. In short, they have a separate area and separate toppings they use for the gluten free pizza, and then they put it in a special tin foil covering for the oven. It was also a delicious meal, and the others in the group that ate gluten were equally satisfied. My boyfriend also ate gluten free, and we ordered the barbecue chicken pizza and the meat and mushroom pizza. Delicious!

Big creative flavors. 100% vegan with gluten options. This chef needs to be in an upscale restaurant.

This review has been updated after speaking with the owner. Honestly, I’m sad bc I got the home made gluten filled bread, but I ordered GF bread. I tried to call and couldn’t get through and woke up in the middle of the night with stomach pain. I want to clarify that I had ONE bite of the bread before I realized it’s not the GF bread. And just to update the note, they didn’t charge me for the bread, as the cashier forgot somehow - even though I did ask her if they have it when I arrived and then again asked them to use Gf bread. I was far away by the time I opened the sandwich and took a bite once at location realizing it was the same bread as my friend. Very disappointed. Update: They returned my sandwich money. But not without a lot of doubt. I understand it’s a small shop, the sandwich looked awesome. But please understand that this is important for health reasons. I think if you’re into gluten you should def give it a go.
