Top 3 Gluten-Free Cafes to Explore in Tokyo

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

This is heaven for any gluten intolerant. I was amazed by their pancakes and sweet staff. Will book a new trip to Japan just to eat here again❤️

Emily Hunt

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

It's a restaurant that specializes in vegan and gluten-free food, and it doesn't use rice flour, so it was very helpful. The stylish atmosphere was also nice. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced, so it was a good experience.

loved the gluten free bread and hot choclate

Best falafels in town! Also has great gluten free muffins!

J G

Showed coeliac card and was assured it would be fine but later found out they were unable to accomodate due to cross contamination.

Miles Taylor

Very helpful with gluten free and celiac. Best corn bread I've ever had. They love sheep as well

Emma Lamomd

Really loved this place! I’m a very sensitive coeliac but despite the small risk of cross contamination I was totally fine and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I even ordered a dessert crepe afterwards seeing as the ice cream was gf too! Service was quick and the staff were lovely - I was informed that they had cleaned the plate they cook the crepes on but that they couldn’t guarantee it was safe - which was nice to see they understand the severity of coeliac and still try to accomodate! Safe to say it was well worth the slight risk

Filippo Montalti

Excellent burgers and very interesting desserts, they also have gluten-free sandwiches so they can satisfy even those who need gluten-free. Service as always friendly, water included, prices slightly higher than average but worth it.

工藤拓

I went there on a weekday during the day. The only desserts were gluten-free muffins. The drinks were average. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

I found a natural cafe that serves gluten-free shortcake and other healthy sweets. They also don't use meat, eggs, dairy products, refined sugar, or chemical seasonings. Great for vegans too♪ They have a wide variety of coffees, so I recommend them to those looking for decaf coffee◡̈ And the prices are surprisingly cheap. This area is close to Ginza, so I was prepared to pay a fair amount, but I was surprised at how cheap it was and it was easy on the wallet, so I was happy. The interior of the store is made of glass and has a high ceiling, making it a very open and airy space. Thank you for the meal♡

Marvin da Costa

This is a great shop for gluten-free bread. Surprisingly, there aren't any, so I'm glad it's within my range of action. I love using it because it goes well with coffee. .

Brandi S

A gem of a place especially for my gluten free peeps! I really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the soy chicken that came with savory pancakes. I also ordered their gluten free citrus cream cake. I thoroughly enjoyed everything. I will be back to try more.

Liam Apter

I would absolutely recommend this to other people who are gluten free / celiac. As a celiac I have eaten here twice and they are very helpful when making food that is gluten free. They have an allergy list on their menu which allows you to see all the dishes that are wheat free. Noting they do mention gluten as it is not a formal allergy in Japan. They do offer gluten free bread though! Additionally, they were able to provide meal substitutes - removing a certain sauce - to make it wheat / gluten free. However, do not worry as I have eaten here twice - October 2024 and April 2025 - and as a symptomatic celiac I have had no reaction to it. If you are vegetarian / vegan this may be quite hard to have a full meal here as most dishes involve meat of some sort.

Daniel Allen

Little oasis in the airport with tasty food and friendly and speedy service. As well as vegan, there are gluten free options.

I “さんぽ”

I was curious about this shop! There are six types of lightly roasted beans, and you can check out the smell and choose your favorite! I chose iced coffee. It had a good balance of sourness, refreshing aroma, and sweetness. The matcha donuts were vegan and gluten-free. They were filling and delicious!! There were a lot of tourists, and the shop was bright and had a nice atmosphere. I want to go again!!

Stephanie Grace

Lovely tea, great gluten free cakes, quaint relaxing atmosphere and attentive service.

Monica M.

We wanted to try the mochi(next to this place) and since hungry and found availability we entered and tried their delicious gluten free pancakes with salad & the gluten-free vegan bento, even if we are not vegans 🥴 but I can say it was delicious! A bit expensive but the personnel were nice, good food, cozy place mostly central and especially gluten-free!!! I recommend the bento! Thank you for preparing these goodies for us coeliacs! We are very happy to be able to taste it! 😄

I made a reservation for afternoon tea. The interior and atmosphere of the store was very cute. However, the attitude of the staff was so inappropriate that I couldn't believe they were in the customer service industry, which is a shame. I was given a seat in a semi-private room in the back, but even though there were 4 or 5 staff members, they were all stuck at the counter and didn't notice that I wanted to order. I was worried because there was no reaction even though he was clearly looking at me. When he brought me the afternoon tea set, he forced me to put it on top of the cutlery and almost knocked it over. Almost all gluten-free sweets made with rice flour and other ingredients are not tasty and hard. It's really just a look. I thought it was something like this because it was cheap. Are you in a bad mood because the staff at the store don't smile all the time and keep busying you? ? That's what it felt like. I wonder if there will be a second time.

Delicious and gluten free! They only use rice flour for their pancakes paradise for celiacs!

Cherie A

Wonderful coffee stop! Very cute spot to sit and have a break from shopping in the market. The cold brew coffee and Orange & Ginger iced tea were delicious. The monaka filled with icecream also looked amazing! Also friendly for dietary requirements - gluten free, soy and oat milk available.

came here accidentally looking for gluten free goods and found out they did have oat cookies & gluten free muffins 🤍🤍 tasted delish!! 🥰

My girlfriend has recently started eating gluten-free, so I was curious and went there for lunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good overall, and the staff were very friendly. There are many attractive menu items, and I ordered the taco lunch this time. The hot meat sauce was very delicious. I would definitely like to come here again! ☺️

Emily Schaub

Staff were very nice and accommodating. It was a hot day and they even offered us a Cookie Time fan to help. They even had a gluten free rocky road cookie which I was very thankful for as eating gluten free in Japan has been difficult for me and I have suffered the consequences. But not at Cookie Time! I first visited in NZ and so glad to visit again in Japan!

ゆるグルみっちょ

I was looking for gluten-free cake and finally found this place! I had the chocolate cake because it was gluten-free ^^ The staff were friendly and it was a really nice cafe!! They also explained about CBD oil in detail, which sparked my interest♪ It's a very stylish and relaxing cafe!

Lori Berenberg

amazing gluten free pancakes and drinks!

Review for こめパンカフェ (Monday & Tuesday) A really good gluten-free cafe serving rice flour baguette sandwiches. My chicken sandwich was delicious, and I really enjoyed the Satsuma potato pottage. The baguette was one of the best gluten-free baguettes I’ve ever had. It was crunchy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. Next time I will try to come earlier in the day so I can buy cinnamon rolls. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They also understood wheat and gluten sensitivities very well.

Small and a bit crowded place, a gluten-free option (chocolate or matcha brownie)

Konru kuay

This is a shop where you can eat gentle and delicious bread that does not use milk or eggs and uses simple ingredients. ○About the store Business days are limited to Tuesdays and Sundays. However, there are opportunities to purchase it at other stores, such as those sold on consignment at Kojikumiya and Ikebukuro on Fridays. Details can be found on Instagram. In addition to selling bread, it also functions as a coffee shop, so you can eat and drink the bread you purchase with a set of side dishes. Unusually, there is a vending machine. The only rice flour vending machine I've ever seen is the one in Okayama. The staff at the store (Yukiko Sekine and others) were very responsive. Since the only payment methods were cash or PayPay, I went to withdraw the money, but they kindly kept the bread for me while I was there. ○About bread Currently, there are three types of rice flour-based products: bread, horohoro cookies, and chiffon, and the others are wheat-based. Therefore, although rice flour bread is gluten-free, contamination is possible. All the breads have simple ingredients and seem to be of good quality. Also, most breads are labeled with information on ingredients, etc., so you can choose and purchase with confidence. ○About what I bought #rice flour bread It's quite elastic and chewy. Moist inside. The bottom side is hard and filling. The sweetness is gentle but not too weak, and it's delicious enough to keep eating as is. Of course, the binding is good, and none of the parts fall apart (some powder does fall off). #Rice flour cookies It's crumbly but easy to eat. It's so flavorful that you can eat 4 of them right away. Personally, I wish there were more varieties of rice flour bread and more stores and opportunities to buy it. However, the rice flour bread is so delicious that it's worth going just to buy it, so I'll continue to go here.

We went here twice during our stay. Very good food, smoothies, coffee and tea. I love how they serve soup with their main dish. Really great in the morning. Highly recommend. Works for dietary restrictions like gluten, dairy and vegan.

I think it's a useful shop as it's one of the few soup specialty shops. However, the salty and chemical taste is quite strong and makes my tongue and throat tingle, so I dilute it with water. When the store is empty or there are few customers, the soup will simmer down and become even more flavorful. I would appreciate it if there were more gluten-free and vegan menus.

Gluten-free, light breakfast. The steamed vegetables themselves are delicious, and the degree of steaming is also good. Gargantua only opens from 10am, so there aren't many options for a light breakfast near the hotel. Kyoto has quite a few long-established bakeries and cafes that open at 8 a.m., so you can take an early morning walk and enjoy freshly baked bread, but mornings in Tokyo are slow.

Delicious and wheat (gluten) free! ! I am grateful to be able to eat a delicious dessert that is gentle on the intestines.

Konru kuay

It's a relaxing shop where you can enjoy organic herbs, tea, and gluten-free pancakes. ○About the store Transportation: Convenient and close to Nezu Station. Inside: It's relatively spacious with a surprisingly large number of seats, so you can relax and relax if it's not during busy hours. Payment methods: Credit cards, major electronic money (transportation systems, ID, etc.), paypay are generally accepted. ○About the menu With the motto of ``organic cultivation'' and ``no use of additives such as flavorings, sweeteners, or coloring agents,'' they offer dishes such as tea, pancakes, curry, and herbal chicken made with herbs and tea leaves. . The owner originally worked in the food industry and tries to interact directly with farmers, etc., so you can buy and eat the products he sells with confidence. ○Venus pancake This time's goal. It's gluten-free because it's made from rice flour and soybean flour, but the restaurant also uses wheat flour, so be careful of contamination. "thoughts" #Maple and butter It's more moist than chewy. It was delicious with the gentle and sweet maple syrup. It was better to eat the ice cream as is. The price is cheaper than other pancake shops (770 yen/plate). However, the portions aren't large, so if you're looking for quantitative satisfaction, you'll want two dishes. ○Aside It was very interesting to chat with the shop owner. We were talking about organic food and other things, and before I knew it, about 30 minutes had passed. It was great to hear a lot of information from the processing and sales side. Next time I would like to enjoy herbal chicken and black tea... I want to go again.

This cake is made with rice flour so I can eat it without worrying about gluten, so I sometimes eat it. Today I also bought a rice flour custard cream puff. I was looking forward to eating it at tea time. First of all, the crust was sticky unlike usual, and the custard was not smooth at all, with a lumpy texture and no custard taste! "Is this a failure?" "I can't imagine how they can have the nerve to sell something that's a failure!" I thought that this fact should be communicated to the store. They have delicious signature sweets such as mango pudding, so I hope they will notice.

Veery yummy vegan+ gluten-free + not sugar (if requested) option in Tokyo. I had the egg crepe, and it was a great balance of chickpeas for the protein, veggies, buckwheat crepe and it came with a little avocado and fermented carrot. A very complete dish. The staff was friendly, the place is nice and I could feel they have high-quality ingredients for a reasonable price. Highly recommend if you are around 🌱✨️

When using the restaurant as a family, there was a huge difference in the time that the order was served, and unfortunately it was only served when everyone had finished eating. I want someone to call out to me, or at least to tune in to the slower person. The food, including the gluten-free pasta, is delicious, so I wish the quality of the waiters/waitresses would improve.
