Top 15 Gluten-Free Vegan Spots to Explore in Rio Grande, Salt Lake City

I am not vegan or vegetarian. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked zest. I got the mushroom alfredo pasta and it was so good. We also got nachos to share - which if you don’t think about it as nachos and more just a chip and dip dish then it’s delicious. The roll was also pretty good and the dessert was amazing

They have delicious pizza the BEST gluten free crust!!!

Kelly Clement

Great gluten free restaurant. Only one item was not gluten free but it is prepared separately. The food was amazing. Everything we tried was excellent.

We came in for lunch during our layover and had Sheila as our waitress and she was amazing!!! I have a gluten allergy and she was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through all the options and made sure I had plenty of GF soy sauce! It’s always hard to find safe options while traveling but having her to guide me through helped me feel so comfortable!

12/10 stars for this place!! I was SOOOO surprised by everything here. We went for weekend brunch and I was shocked to hear there was a short 20 min wait when we arrived around 10:45 AM. So if you want to come here, make reservations if you can, the day before at the latest. Around 11:30, I heard the wait was 45 minutes. Prices here were fantastic and the flavour profiles for the dishes were top notch. Great coffee options, tea options, and plenty to choose from! They have a cafe on the left where you order at the counter, with pastries, coffee/tea, and food options. To the right, they have weekend brunch. The menus are different, but similar. Best of all- So many gluten free options! And vegan options! We ordered their breakfast bowl, the regular breakfast (forget the name, eggs, bacon/sausage, sweet potato smash, toast), and the parfait. I also got the gluten free cinnamon sandwich cookies and the chocolate chip cookies. Oh my gawd. Both of these! The cinnamon cookie was delicious, even for anyone who is not gluten free. The choc chip cookie was huge and DIVINE. I wish I lived closer so I could come here DAILY. It's that good. Do your mouth a favour and come here. And, you're welcome. 🫰

My husband and I had gone out on a date to the Melting Pot in SLC, Monday, January 19, 2025 at 6:30 pm. The Valet parking wasn't available that night, so my husband had to park down at the end of the street in 20 Degree weather. Once my husband returned, we showed up reservations, but we still waited ten minutes after our allotted time. It was almost as if they couldn't find our names. Once seated they fit us into a small corner both there was a lot of high traffic; people kept walking by, other customers waiters or waitresses with food. It created a lot of noise and carrying on a conversation was difficult. Our waitress, keep forgetting things. I told our waitress at the beginning that I have a Gluten Allergy. She still made mistakes bring us food that was not gluten free or we had to ask for water. The pot was never hot enough to cook our food to the right temperature; my husband had to keep adjusting it so we could have a hot meal. We asked for "The Big Night Out For Two" and the California & the Bacon Ranch Parmesan Salads were awful. Items were placed in the salad that weren't on the menu. Once dinner arrived, we were still given items with gluten in them, despite me repeatedly saying I was allergic to gluten. Then once our vegetables were in the pot, our waitress took the spoon for us to get them out with. We had to flag down out waitress to get another spoon so we could finish dinner. By the time dessert showed up, I was ready to leave. We had to adjust out pot so the chocolate would cook, not all the ingredients were in the chocolate at to complete the fondue part. I was severely disappointed in our visit, it this had been my first time, I don't think I would be going back. I am not even sure if I will now with my recent experience. We have always gone for my birthday or my anniversary each year and it has always been my favorite place. I don't think I can say that now.

Court was so helpful in finding me multiple options to eat. I have food, allergies, to gluten, dairy, and soy. They were very accommodating and the food was delicious.

Alli

Monkeywrench has some of the best ice cream in SLC, dairy free or otherwise. The Tea & Biscuits and Chocolate Orange Honeycomb are my favorites, and they’re both gluten free!

Cool atmosphere, different than your average Cafe. Food was great with nice finishing touches, wraps were pressed like a pannini. Zough sauce is a must have. Their menu states gluten free, but some of their items are made on shared surfaces. Warning for celiac should be made.

Great vegan food, friendly fast service, lots of good gluten free options.

Ethan Ball

Awesome environment and staff, however their Pho is not good. The chicken tasted like it was from a can, they don’t have any veggies to add on or gluten free sauces. Overall probably fine but a bit or a let down. The broth was excellent tho. Also you order and pay your self. They came and checked on me and made it right and said they are working on improving. Very impressed

Mik Scheper

Their smoothie bowls are good, but they don't have any protein options for their grain bowls or wraps, apart from meat. They really need some tofu, tempé or gluten as options.

Karri McClure

The gluten-free menu is more limited than it used to be, and it was not safe. I had a reaction most likely due to cross-contamination.

Matthew Wilson

Very good. I loved that they know allergies and have a gluten free menu.

Lindsay Morgan

I visited late-night after a comedy show. This is my third time here. They had a few vegan options on the late night menu. I got the vegan disco fries and they were good! Green pig has several yummy-sounding vegan options...wish more of them were/could be made gluten-free as well tho!
