Top 28 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens Across Madison

I’d heard about this place and that everything was delicious, and that they had sweet potato donuts. OMG were they ever delicious! So I got a couple of sweet potato donuts for our family to share, a ham and Gruyère cheese sandwich for my son and twice baked almond croissant for my husband and son to share. Everything was so delicious…I’m typically gluten free, but had to try the sweet potato donuts because I love anything sweet potato. I took half of one and it was so good that I grabbed the other half as well and had it all to myself! Let me just say, we’ll be back very soon!

Delicious. The cinnamon roll was amazing. While a bit pricey for a standard bakery, the $25+ tip for 3 baked items and a regular coffee felt average priced for a gluten-free bakery. The women behind the counter were friendly; they waved and giggled with my daughter, and we enjoyed a brief chat. The decor is charming and tastefully creative. I'll definitely be back soon!

everything on the menu looks so good so it's hard to pick what to eat, all the food was delicious and it's very gluten friendly. we tried the chicken tikka sandwich which was a beautiful fusion and the blackberry salmon which wasn't too sweet and cooked perfectly

I absolutely love Ice Cream Social! Love the creative and delicious flavors, the cozy space, and the community impact through their donations. As someone with Celiac, it is really amazing to be able to go somewhere knowing that everything is gluten free (and tastes good!). I make it a priority to go to ICS whenever I’m in Madison!

Tammy Stearns

Always delicious beer, but my son recently brought me the Rustic Badger Farmhouse Ale for my birthday and I think it’s my new favorite! Love that it is a little lighter at 4.2%. Thanks for showing that quality beer can be gluten free!

Eddy Nelson

Celiac heaven. Dedicated fryers, knowledgeable staff. Almost all dishes can be made GF. Amazing Venezuelan food!

Amazing customer service, people were extremely nice and friendly. Food was good and had excellent choices for vegan and gluten free, allergy friendly menu items. Not super expensive either, which is a huge plus so I can come here more regularly. Only leaving 4 stars because of the water having salt/minerals* and they had to remake my friend’s vegan tacos. Also would add that my mocktail was mostly ice… They were really good about providing allergen free laminated menus with notes. *Suggestion to restaurant, I know other people have commented about the water. It probably would have been a 5 stars if not for water quality. It just was a gritty tap like taste. (FYI water snobs in Madison, RED has the best free water served in restaurants)

This our go to place when we visit madison. Being celiac I finally don't have to worry about what I eat. Bonus gf tempura

Josie Hansen

The best gluten free pasta! Also love the aperol spritz!

Hannah S

You will not find a better french fry in the greater madison area Everything I've ever had has been stellar Great gluten free options

Brad Seebeck

Stopped here for dinner with the family after flying into Madison. Menu was great, service was friendly, and the food was delicious! They didn't mind our 3 young children being a little squirmy after sitting on a plane all afternoon. Had great Gluten Free and Vegan options on the menu. What a great place! Highly recommend!

Teri Kremer

Great food, very good about allergies and gluten free! Love this place!

Phil Salant

Dream Poke with all the fixings. Price very good value and good for any occasion. Fresh, fast, great people. Gluten-Free too!!

Jennifer King

I didn't capture pics of the food. I ate here two days in a row. First day I had the turkey n bacon sandwich on gluten free bread with cabbage slaw side. Today I has the pumpkin cinnamon roll gluten free pancakes 🥞!! Let me tell you! Best gluten free pancakes I have ever had. Moist, hot, delicious!!! Highly recommend.

Oli

Good food and friendly staff. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten sensitive opinions. Tacos and stuffed burrito are great, not the enchiladas.

Sue Ike

First time there and staff Jesus was very awesome, welcoming with explaining how the ordering routine worked. Was with friend and we tried both of the gluten-free crust pizzas and both were delicious. Will be back!

Ryan Lindley

My wife and I spent our 5 year anniversary meal here and the food and service were outstanding. They provided free champagne for our anniversary! I have a gluten sensitivity and they had a GF menu ready for me so I didn't have to ask. Their menu perfectly describes what is GF and what is gluten sensitive friendly. The service was superb and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

Jeremiah Parranto

Food was great. Asked if the Pad Thai was gluten free and was assured it was and I had no issues. Summer rolls were gluten free as well.

Lydia Giordano

They have an amazing gluten free crust!! And you can order many of the specialty pizzas gluten free as well! I’m celiac and I didn’t get sick 😎 bonus: the crust is also vegan and they have several vegan options as well!

Morgan Maloney

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve gotten anything from Fresh Fin, and I had forgotten how INCREDIBLE the food is. All of their ingredients are super fresh and tasty. I’ve tried their more traditional fish-based bowls, as well as a few of their other options, and have never been disappointed. *One of my favorite things about this place is how accommodating they are to different dietary needs and preferences. Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free, watching carbs and/or cals, just about anything you could imagine. If you order online, they also have a section where you can note any allergies down to the specific ingredient in your bowl and their kitchen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so accessible. Even if it’s not for a specific dietary restriction, the customizability is a huge benefit and means you could eat here daily for months and always have something new to try. I’ve seen some comments about the prices, but the portions you get are beyond reasonable. I’ve had leftovers from the smaller size! Service has always been very quick and friendly in my experience. Just an overall wonderful spot with hearty and healthy foods!

Sandra Hammond

Very friendly staff! They have a separate area for gluten-free preparation. The food is absolutely delicious!

I have been ordering from here since JustVeggiez exclusively sold at festivals and had no brick and mortar location. I would emphasize that the menu is largely whole-food, plant based vegan. That said, some menu items are more minimally processed and won't fool you into thinking you're eating their non vegan counterpart. Specifically, the mac and cheese doesn't taste like dairy Mac n cheese at all; however, I consistently order it because I enjoy it in its own regard. They also have a house made "chix" patty that I love, but would not fool a meat-eater. Most everything I have eaten, I would recommend and eat again. Over the years I have seen consistency issues between different orders and formats (festival pop ups vs brick and mortar store) but as of the time of this review I have seen a huge improvement in that. Other items I've tried and loved: The gluten free chix sandwich and gluten free drumsticks The California reaper chix sandwich (I say this as someone who likes spicy food: it is extremely spicy, as the name would imply) The 2PC fried chix meal The portions are generous, in my opinion, and I can usually get two meals out of my order. I also appreciate this restaurant doing away with the plastic tubs for the sides for delivery in recent months. I generally order delivery, but have also dined in for a pop up buffet. I would recommend going to one of those events to try a variety of menu items that JustVeggiez does extremely well.

Very delicious and unique food. Small space and few people waiting so be patient. Food is worth it and some of the most tender lamb I have had in a while. Great vegetarian and gluten free choices.

Went to get a gluten-free sandwich and was impressed by the variety of drinks and sides. I had a very generously portioned Rachel. The coleslaw was delicious. I would go back.

Abbey Dove

These guys have the best pizza in Madison. The sauce, the cheese, the sausage, it's all outstanding. AND, if you want a gluten-free crust they have TWO to pick from. Their normal gluten-free is great, and shockingly, so is their cauliflower crust (which was probably intended for the keto folks, but my gluten eating husband loved it.

Amy Fewel

Fantastic place for smoothies! Appreciate being able to eat there as I’m vegan, gluten free and soy free. Delicious!!

Mel Lobitz

The best falafel you’ll find in Madison. Super accommodating for gluten allergies, speedy pick up service, and amazing and kind staff. My partner and I weren’t sure about how much food would be in the falafel platter so we ordered more falafel on the side. The platter came with SIX (6) falafel!!!! So we got to enjoy the extra side as a delicious lunch the next day. So happy to have The Mediterranean Joint in the neighborhood!!

Meredith Jones

The best vegan, gluten free pizza I have had. Thank you for having so many delicious options!

Courtney Vanorio

Great place for gluten free vegan burgers downtown! I have celiac disease and feel safe eating here. The staff are knowledgeable and are happy to answer questions.

Carrie T

I can’t recommend this place. I have given it three chances because people seem to like it. The first time I went, the owner, this blonde woman, was SO unfriendly and rude to me. I had never been there before and she basically yelled at me that they were cash only for pickup and told me to go away. The second time we went for dine-in, my friend is gluten free, she has celiacs. They blonde woman (again) said they could accommodate and the she was given a dish that did have gluten in it and she got sick. Our final time they gave me a dish that has pieces of meat mixed into my tempeh dish. Won’t be going here again.

Celia Lohr

Hands down the best Thai food in Madison! The service and quality of the food are both outstanding. They also have genuinely celiac safe food, which is hard to find. Try any of the curries and Thai iced tea!

Leona Harper

Lovely little spot food is fresh service in nice love they have vegetarian and gluten free options

Mark Weisensel

That was the BEST gluten free BBQ chicken pizza I have EVER had! Big chunks of bacon and chicken and the sauce had a good bite to it! Have always loved the Porta salad!

Jackie Kirby

Husband and I were in the area for a few days and saw this place while driving by and were intrigued right away. There's not a lot of healthy options where we live so we wanted to stop and try. Granola is all gluten free and the bowls are amazing! First day we got blueberry pie bowl and the pb and j as a bowl, next day the sherbet bowl and husband got pb and j again. So fresh tasting and the owner is really nice!

Lior Seidel

Nice board game cafe. The GF and vegan menu items are marked

Mandy Christman

Wonderful staff, always speedy and curtious! The gluten free is absolutely worth the additional price. (Skip the dairy free cheese...)

Shawna Kollath

Super happy with my experience! Very aware and on top of being gluten free, even a GF brownie!
