Top 50 Gluten-Free Vegan Havens Across Ohio

Dawn Speidel

Great baked goods! Their scones are AMAZING!

Rebecca Duke

Absolutely fell in love with this place!! We were traveling and looking for a safe place to eat with celiac/severe gluten allergy as well as dairy free. The fact that Portia’s entire menu is gluten free and vegan was AMAZING so everything was completely safe!! We drank the mushroom lattes and split the breakfast burrito bowl and a waffle - the food was out of this world. Everyone on staff was so kind and in a great mood, and the space is cozy and colorful. Will definitely back if we find ourselves in Columbus again!

Rachel Lydy

Gluten free haven! Delicious comfort food. It is so hard to find fried gluten free food at other places because of cross contamination in the fryer, but here everything is safe for celiac! The empanadas and apple fritters were amazing!

Rachel Baker

Everything is gluten-free, and the food was delicious! Will be back!

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

Julia Green

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

Alliyah McClendon

Absolutely loved this place! If you live around the area or happen to be in town this bakery is definitely a go to! I am 100% gluten free with celiac and when I tell you this is the best tasting baked goods I’ve had since I started my journey! I got the cinnamon rollup, beignet donuts, donut holes, muffin (berries), and quiche! Donuts were my fav! It is a little bit pricey but if you’re celiac you already know the drill! Definitely worth it especially when you get a little bit of everything!

Stacey Preston

Great food and a good sized gluten free menu.

Brian Kellett

We have been dining at Comune since they opened & have always had a wonderful experience. Lots of gluten free options, stellar service & owners!

Ash Holbert

They are amazing with allergies. They have great gluten free pizza and a tone of options. The gluten free cookie and Sunday is amazing!

Josiah Farr

I was in Columbus for a MTG tournament, and was unfamiliar with the area. I searched for gluten free food, not expecting to find much, but I found Forno. Not only was Molly the waitress absolutely phenomenal. (And she definitely deserves a raise) My experience there was beyond amazing. I've never had a pizza so delicious, I've never had FOOD so delicious. Let alone, a GLUTEN FREE pizza! I liked Forno so much that during my weekend in Columbus I HAD to go there a second time because I wanted to experience it again before I left. 10/10 would go there again, I'd drive from Detroit to Columbus just to experience Forno again.

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.

Really good food great gluten free menu. Service was good.

John Morgan Gumm

First time here. It was highly rated on my wife’s gluten-free app. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing atmosphere.

Carrie Crutcher

Went for a family dinner this past Saturday. Service was great. We made reservations and we were sat immediately even tho it was packed. Our waitress was awesome. I have Celiac disease and felt totally comfortable and safe eating there and having to be gluten free. I want to give 5 stars instead of 4 but I just can’t because of the food. It really just wasn’t very good. I got a vegetable and rice dish with chicken that was lacking flavor majorly. Our appetizer was the “spicy” pimento dip that was hard and not spicy. It just didn’t fair well. My mom got shrimp pasta and said it was underwhelming. Daughter got chicken fingers and said the same thing . I’m going to go back and try again, maybe it’ll be better next time. I really want to like it since the rest of the experience was so good.

Sort of happened across this place by chance when looking for a lunch spot, and really glad we did! I got a pickle pizza (didn't see it on the menu, but just ask about it), and it was really good! They also are gluten friendly, which was great for my wife. You can tell the owner was passionate about what he was doing! Wish we had a spot like this back home!

Tini Mueller

One of the best gluten free places I have ever been. The wait staff is so knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free, the menu is so inclusive. I love it here so much! OH and the GLUTEN FREE chicken tenders… so good!!

Lisa M.

So disappointed that a lot of their homemade products contain awful ingredients. Gluten free donuts have artificial flavoring, poptarts have Red Food Dye 40, lots of products with high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavoring.

Bobbie Hughes

I was drawn by the gluten free menu. The coconut chicken was amazing. Very crispy and the coconut sauce is sweet. The egg drop soup was also delicious. I will be back to try the GF sweet and sour chicken. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Erin Trueman

Why do you offer gluten free options if you literally do not put effort into them? Gluten free cookies and cupcakes tasted like dog treats.

lydia gokey

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

Rochelle Stapp

I was so excited to try Mediterranean food and was super lucky to find they had gluten free options. The owner’s son has gluten intolerance so they are very knowledgeable. The food was so good and the staff was absolutely lovely.

SoniaLeighOfficial

My partner and I travel a lot for work. We always seek out the best vegan spots to eat. This one really blew me away. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service, the atmosphere, and the food. Wyatt took our order. He had an excellent attitude despite the line (probably because the place is delicious) and he was very helpful in helping us select a dish. I had the Frisco melt and the red velvet cake. I ate every bite! They do not skip on flavor and quality ingredients. My partner had sausage egg and cheese with gluten free bread the pumpkin loaf and Caesar salad. Usually gluten free options are scarce and hit or miss on flavor. All of these dishes were delicious. And there were plenty of gluten free options as well. Thank you for providing excellent service and food for us vegan travelers! We Highly recommend this place!

AmberLynn Dunn

My favorite bakery!!! the cupcakes are always on point!!

Rachelle Hadlock

I really wanted to like this place. I was terribly disappointed. I purchased a donut and a muffin. The donut was meh, not that great but edible. The muffin was terrible. I threw it away after a couple bites. I know gluten free baking is challenging. I have done it with much better results. I went out of my way to get there and I won't be back.

Johnathan Crihfield

Not a lot of places for someone who has a baby for a stomach with IBS, Gluten intolerance, and Dairy allergy, yet I can come here and get a medium pizza for less than 20 bucks with everything I can actually have, and it not only look like a freaking normal pizza for once (fantastic mind you) and it was freaking perfect. I will be coming here on the most absolute regular now.

Dustin Greiner

Fantastic gluten free food, everything on the menu is gluten free or can be including the mac and cheese and onion rings. Service was excellent.

Bruce Griffin

Delicious. Great food and better service. Very gentrified hipster vibe. The majority of the menu is or can be made gluten free.

Grant Donnelly

6-1-Pho is the restaurant I most regularly frequent in Columbus. I like it a lot and the prices are good, the food is even better and the workers are always friendly. What I like about this place is the food can satisfy a meat eater, a vegan, or a gluten free person all the same. I generally get the marinated tofu pho and my partner the chicken pho- both are great and I think their broth is perfect. They started using flatter noodles which are less good than the more round noodles they used to use so I hope they switch back! I get to go and they have this down to a science- they have a good packing system that makes sure you don’t spill and the food tastes good when you get it home.

I would give 1000 stars if I could. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and our server, Tyler, made sure I was eating GOOD. He got the kitchen to make gf/df bread specially for me, and was super accommodating explaining the menu items in depth and offering suggestions. He even brought me a plate of steamed veggies with my chicken & pasta. I ended up getting the pasta-your-way with gf gnocchi and grilled chicken, and he brought me a side of steamed veggies. He was accommodating, friendly, and on top of everyones table around us with the same level of service. Did I mention this was Valentine's day, one of their busiest days? This is going to become a regular restaurant for me, thank you Marcella's and thank you Tyler!!

Nathan Morse

Delicious food from delightful people! Also, their soup of the day is always vegan and gluten free — so inclusive!

Sandra Tingler-Shaw

My sis is gluten-free, and for the first time in a long time, she was able to select things she normally would not be able to select. Plus the food was great! We will definitely visit Erie Street Kitchen again!

Cory Chapman

A wonderful restaurant with amazing gluten free options. My wife enjoyed her first chicken Parmesan in years here. Very inviting and lovely atmosphere. The lasagna was delicious and the service was prompt. If you don’t want to sit at the bar, make sure to call ahead.

Hadear Marzooque

Great ambiance; love the candles. I was very impressed with the food quality and taste for celiac dietary restrictions. The in-house gluten free pasta was amazing. Everything was perfectly tasty, professional, classy and memorable

Gabe O.

Very good traditional American diner. The food was delicious and their service is great. They have a gluten free menu available on request.

Dalila Di Rienzo

Ciambelle di tutti i tipi! Opzioni senza glutine e vegane 🌱 hanno anche il caffè!

Joseph Coppus

Great food, chill atmosphere, and lots of great gluten free options!

Brian Cataldi

How the mighty have fallen. They ruined our Mother’s Day dinner by serving a clearly medium rare burger when my wife wanted a medium. We sent it back but not before the waiter comes back with the food and tell us “this is our medium here”…the middle was cool in the! We thought it would be 5-10 minutes max for the new burger . 30 minutes later and with everyone else done with their dinner the burger still isn’t out! They offer to comp the meal and give us a free gluten free dessert… however when the food still isn’t out I talk to the owner and tell her the situation. She goes back and then a manager comes over saying they are still working on it and gives me the bill. I tell the manager I’m not paying for anything as this literally ruined our dinner. She goes away, comes back with the food bagged up and says “Here is your food, you can go now”. Both the waiter and the manager were rude during this entire encounter. THEN to top it off, on the way home we get a text from them saying the desserts they sent home were NOT gluten free…and my wife is celiac and the one that all this happened it!! And the last straw was when we got home, check out the burger…the damn thing was still medium rare!!! Check the picture for the 2nd burger and you tell me. After all this they didn’t even fix it. Long story short, they could have made it ok but the long remake, the attitude all around and the continuing mistakes show me this place has lost their touch.

John Edwards

Had adequate parking. The dining area is large and can accommodate large parties. The manager was helpful and explained where everything was. There is a salad bar with a variety of healthy items. You will pay between $10-$15 for a sandwich. All foods served are free from dyes, artificial trans fats and flavours, processed MSG's, and high fructose corn syrup, according to the menu. I had the Ruben, and it was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. I also had a salad, which was great. I highly recommend Jason's Deli if you're in the area. They do have gluten sensitive and vegetarian options. Jason's Deli is a chain resteraunt, which we didn't know until we did some research, with restaurants in 28 states. This is a family owned chain and is in the top 500 for resteraunt chains.

Jenna

Best gluten free breakfast. Mango Bacon Goat - amazing. We will definitely be back!!

Jen Pfleghaar

Large gluten free menu. It’s all marked. Meat is from a local farm Canal Junctions. The homemade salsa is amazing and fresh. Can’t beat this quality!

Trudy Crawford

The food was very good and they modified my order to be gluten and dairy free. I got the balsamic chicken and succotash and it was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you have food allergies

Jamie

I absolutely love the hummus here! The spicy cauliflower and raspberry green tea are also delicious. So many vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options too.

Dustin Greiner

A wide variety of gluten free options, the food was delicious and it’s attached to a cool book store you can check out while you wait because like all good places, it’s busy.

donna locher

Great gluten free sandwiches & desserts.

Toni Sacco

Homegrown hangout boasting craft beer and unique (and dare I say, gourmet) hotdog combos—personal favorite is the “Classy Lady”. Always delicious with excellent, speedy service. Delighted to see gluten free buns on the menu!

Sarah Balaban

They always have the best stuff. When birthdays come around I always have to pop in to grab my boy cupcakes so he doesn’t feel left out. He gets terrible eczema from gluten.

Emmett J

Wow, I can't believe I haven't eaten here until now. My wife and I came here for lunch and loved it so much that we stopped by again on the same day to grab dinner. Can't wait to bring my veg and gluten-free friends!

My husband and I went to The Refectory last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server Lisa was very personable and did such a wonderful job educating us about the dishes offered and drink selections. The Refectory operates differently than most Ohio/US restaurants. It's recommended to order all courses ahead of time as they are small batch. We ordered 4 courses and even though the plates are smaller than "normal" we were pleasantly stuffed at the end of our meal. To note, courses do come out at a slower, more European pace. Our entire dinner took 2.5 hours. I highly enjoyed the slow pace, it gave us more of a chance to slowly savor our dishes and really connect. The escargot is more in a loaf type form and comes with a garlicky sauce that is just amazing. Not pictured is the soup I had which was the vegetarian, which was deliciously simple but definitely warming. My husband had the shrimp that had a lovely bright vinaigrette followed by the arugula salad. The arugula paired with the pancetta (I think) was delicious as the fat cut the sharpness of the arugula. For my main course I had the sturgeon which I highly recommend. It was meltingly soft and the potatoes/vegetables provided a contrasting crunch. My husband had the duck which he highly enjoyed, the cherry sauce had a tartness he enjoyed but I did not particularly care for. Dessert we both chose the creme brulee. The grand marnier was a nice change from a standard vanilla, it was beautifully silky and paired so well with probably the BEST latte I have ever had. There were a few items I'm going to grumble about but really are minor and not worth detracting any stars: I have celiac and the gluten free bread basket at $5 extra was rather disappointing. It looked like regular sliced sandwich bread that was cut in diagonals. I'll skip the bread next time as Cameron Mitchell restaurants, Cooper's Hawk and others have better to offer. The other grumbly item is the lack of dessert options for someone with celiac. I could choose between the creme brulee or I believe a sorbet. Dessert is my absolute favorite course so this was disappointing. It's the reason we'll come back maybe once or twice a year, but probably not more.

Maddy Wilm

This is my new favorite restaurant. Essentially everything on their menu is gluten free and so delicious even my nongluten free friends love it & cannot tell a difference. The food is an absolute 1000/10 BUT the service is incredible!! Megan & Eddie were SO personable, and they make us want to make this our regular spot! I can’t say enough positive things about this place! It’s a must try ESPECIALLY if you are gluten free!
