Top 50 Gluten-Free Sandwich Havens Across Illinois

Mallory Carey

BEST GF BREAD EVER!!! Unfortunately it is very expensive thought

Grace Dransfield

Thoroughly enjoyed my donut, wonderful + friendly service - I do wish there was more of a range for GF but very grateful and impressed with the bounce and taste. Could barely tell the difference from when I could eat gluten! 💕

Sylvia Smith

Excellent gluten free options, including blueberry pancakes!

trinity h

Good GF buns!

Raj Joshi

We thoroughly enjoyed the gluten-free fish and chips, asparagus dip, and drinks. The ambiance was wonderful, and the service was friendly and attentive. I’ve been craving fish and chips for a while now, and I finally found a place that satisfies my craving.

Irena Savic

Delicious gluten-free burgers! Knowledgeable and family-owned.

Rachel Dawes

Went back-to-back mornings, delicious GF breakfasts, separate GF menu, food and beverages were excellent. We had Jack as our server both mornings and he was excellent, provided great options and understood gluten allergy options well.

Laura McKee

Great gluten free, vegan, and delicious food. Kind people. Nice space

Kris Hamacher

Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

Julia Summers

By owner: "We are a dedicated Gluten Free Kitchen! We cater to many food allergies. We are a scratch kitchen, so most dishes can be modified or adjusted. We look forward to serving you!"

Katherine Glass

As someone with celiac, this was a very good experience. The food and service were excellent and $20 gets you more than enough per person. The flatbreads were gluten free and just as good as the gluten kind. It was also a very clean and quiet environment.

Hannah McGinty

The food was absolutely delicious. My group of 6 people had food allergies (shrimp and gluten) and our server, Chyane, was very kind and made sure that the kitchen was informed of our allergies. She answered all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Chyane is awesome!

Katie McKee

Have eaten here many times and have always felt fine after

Brittany Wine

Excellent salad and husband said the gluten free bread was excellent. Thanks to the owner for the celiac friendly recommendations 👏👏👏

Nadine Soro

Egg Harbor, Café is hands down the best spot for breakfast! They offer a fantastic menu with something for everyone, including a dedicated gluten-free menu alongside their regular options. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service make it an absolute favorite. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, Egg Harbor Café is a must-visit for a delicious and satisfying breakfast experience!

Maren Cunnington

This is my favorite breakfast place. Tons of GF options. There is a risk of cross contamination, but I have eaten here for years and have not once been “glutened”.

Reeti Goyal

Amazing gluten free options

KevinandBrittany Olson

Glad they had a gluten free menu

Luis

Food taste good, service is also good. The table where we were seat was kinda of small. Prices seem to be kind of high and they also charge you 20% upfront for the service. They don't offer gluten-free toast or pancakes.

Tamiko N.

This spot is amazing—had on my Google list for a while!!! They do no processed foods and have a separate menu for vegan/vegetarian/gluten free-win! The meals ordered were super flavorful, filling and just the right portions! I loved the Vegan Fungi With Cauliflower hash—the addition of the cranberries and sweet potatoes was an added savory bonus! My friend also loved the maple Turkey sausage and the pancakes- that were thin instead of fluffy! They loved it! We left pleasantly full and at peace! Last but not least, we both loved our waiter who was super attentive and patient too! Will definitely come back and bring more people!

Richard Manteufel

They have one of the best Gluten-free menus around. Grest food

Khloe Carattini

Service was great the lady was super passionate about her business and what you put in your body all clean ingredients and doesn’t even taste gluten free I got the mango berry smoothie and the avocado scramble wrap

Joey

My experience was great for the most part. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable; the atmosphere was lively and fun; the bathrooms were clean; and the food and cocktails were fantastic. I chose Wildfire because our friend has Celiac, so I wanted her to have gluten-free options. She was pleasantly surprised that their gluten-free menu was so long. She said she was used to only having a few choices. The server also offered her gluten-free bread. So if you or someone you know has Celiac disease, this restaurant is a great choice. Just about everything took longer to make it to our table than most restaurants I’ve been to within the last few years. It wasn’t a horrible wait, but it was noticeable. Because of this, our server wasn’t around much. There were several times when I wanted to ask our server about another appetizer or another drink, but she never came by. That’s the only reason I took off one star—that, and the sneaky 3% they add to the check to offset costs. Yes, you can ask them to remove it, but it’s not like this restaurant is super cheap anyway. Why not add the 3% to the food in general if you’re struggling as a business? Regardless, I would definitely return.

I had one of their gluten free grilled cheeses from their stand at the farmers market, 10/10 it was absolutely delicious!!!

Faydra Shantel Dopek

Went for lunch the other day. Amazing gluten free menu and staff so friendly. We arrived last hour they were open and I didn't feel rushed at all. Prices great and food was delicious!

Jaclyn O'Day

Cafe Miele has an assortment of delicious fresh juices on their menu, an extensive gluten free menu, and is one of the most reasonably priced breakfast/brunch places in the area. I’ve been here several times and have always had a positive experience. Sometimes on the weekends there can be a short wait, but it’s well worth it!

Steph

Update- I got glutened. Not safe for celiacs. Painfully mid. The food was disappointing for the price point ans there were gnats.

Lauren Crouch

We visited Sweet Katie B’s in O’Fallon, Illinois today after finding it online while searching for new gluten-free bakeries and it did not disappoint! We’re from St. Louis, so it was a bit of a drive, but absolutely worth it. We showed up early and were pleasantly surprised by how many gluten-free options they had (way more than we expected). Since it was still morning, we ordered breakfast: gluten-free biscuits and gravy, a hash brown-crusted broccoli and cheddar quiche (my personal favorite), and a quiche Lorraine with bacon that was also so good. I genuinely could’ve eaten another whole broccoli cheddar quiche because it was that delicious. They also had a big gluten-free pastry case with items like cinnamon rolls, which we didn’t try this time but definitely will in the future. The service was just as good as the food. Everyone we interacted with seemed to genuinely care—especially about gluten-free guests. From what I understand, the owners and their daughter (who helped us and was super kind and helpful) are all gluten-free themselves, which really shows in the attention to detail. All around, such a great experience. We’ll absolutely be back.

Philip II Macedon

Awesome experience. AND my wife (for the first time in I don't even know how many years) was able to order French onion soup! They have a gluten free version! She said it was amazing.

Paul Rzepka

Nice place with a separate gluten free menu and lunch specials. Something for everyone with sushi and Italian in one restaurant.

Amy Watterson

Great place if you are Gluten Free! They are very aware of cross contamination & Celiac disease. Our waiter took the time to go over the menu with me & give me details to ease my mind.

Claude Schlecker

Just had a gluten free Grilled Veggie Melt; fabulous taste, and texture. Wish I could be back in an hour for more but I am stuffed. Enjoyed the decor and service too!

Karen Allen

A favorite of mine! The Farmer's Market Benedict is delicious as are the Swedish pancakes with lingonberries. My sister has celiac disease, and Egg Harbor has a good selection of gluten-free items on their menu. Servers polite and attentive. Friendly atmosphere.

Michelle Glover

Go see Amanda!!!!! She was our server in the bar!!!! Amanda was attentive and detailed and laughed with us even though she was busy. We had the best birthday celebration ever. I never eat desert ever. Amanda recommended this berry crumble with ice cream gluten free! We gobbled it up! Best desert ever. I had no idea Wildfire even had such a thing! Thanks Amanda! You are a gift to those who meet you!!!! Naturally we were there for the killer chicken chopped salads!!!

Melissa Windover

Great gluten free options!

Arthur Breurkes

The food is really good, and they're very good with dietary restrictions such as gluten. I consider this place celiac-safe.

Fernando Lima

I’m really disappointed with my visit today. This store claims to offer gluten-free and, at times, sugar-free options. However, during previous visits, I was told by a friendly staff member that certain items in the display were sugar-free. Today, I asked about the same items, and a different staff member, who was noticeably unfriendly and seemed unwilling to help, told me they were not sugar-free. This inconsistency is very concerning, especially for people who rely on accurate dietary information due to health reasons. It makes me question whether the gluten-free and vegan labels are truly trustworthy. If you have food restrictions, be very cautious. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I no longer feel confident about the transparency or accuracy of this shop's claims.

Court Flannery

I am gluten free and so greatly appreciate the extensive options at Egg Harbor! Loved my skillet!

Kimberly Cooper

New & expanded gluten free menu is so appreciated as someone with celiac disease.

Christine Kerr

Amazing meal and amazing service! Camryn was our server and she went above and beyond with answering our questions regarding allergies. I've never eaten at a restaurant with so many gluten free options and staff that was so knowledgeable. We will absolutely be back!

Lexi Marie

My fiancé and I absolutely love this location! ❤️ We came today to celebrate our 6 year anniversary for breakfast since we have been enjoying Egg Harbor as one of our favorite breakfast places for most of our relationship. Sam is an absolutely fantastic server and it was such a pleasure to have her! She made sure my gluten intolerance was accommodated to the best ability and made some great recommendations too. Will always be our favorite breakfast place!

Angie Hurwitz

They have a large gluten free menu. I got the cinnamon roll breakfast - YUM!! Service was great!

Ryan

Green Joe has great espresso, and thats all I've ever gotten here. They always have an array of local artists' wares on display, which is very cool of them. I noticed, as have many others, that they slowly ran out of things and closed down over the last few weeks/months, which was, as a customer, weird to witness. As for the negatives - this wasn't a coffee place you could go if you liked pastries with your coffee. All they stocked was a small selection of gluten free/vegan options, and the ones I tried were honestly the *worst*, inedible gluten free products I've encountered. The atmosphere was cold, I dont remember them ever playing music, and the only appreciable light was cool daylight from the huge windows. All hard surfaces - not a great spot to hang out if comfy cozy Cafe is your preferred vibe. The employees gave a similarly disconnected vibe - almost none of them were outwardly friendly, it was almost like ordering coffee from robots most of the time. Regardless, GJC is/was the only independent coffee shop in a huge radius. Their pricing was great as was the espresso. I certainly hope they can reopen, at least for the sake of all the locals who lived closer than I did. If not, I guess Brewpoint and Conscious Cup are my only remaining options!

William “Wil” Sipla

Called at 3 minutes to 9 and they turned down my business. Being a celiac this is highly disrespectful considering we don't have many places to eat. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. The people that work here obviously don't have food allergies, so they don't respect our needs. After this incident I'll never eat here or tell anybody to eat here.

Elizabeth McGill

Has great gluten free food.

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Joy Johnson

A gorgeous restaurant with fantastic food! Gluten free diners will rejoice at the options available. As soon as I said I was wheat allergic; the server detailed the kitchens designated prep area and all of the precautions they take to ensure a safe meal is delivered. This location has plenty of parking, is handicap accessible and can accommodate a larger party or 6-8. Any more than that I would call ahead. Highly recommend this place if you have special dietary restrictions. They were knowledgeable and the service was outstanding.

Daniel Rucci

Great food and wine. Good kids menu. Good gluten free and dairy free options. New facility. Friendly wait staff. We are regulars!

Briana Magnani

We absolutely love this place. Just today I called in a large order for work with lots of substitutions and everything was 100% correct. Service is always excellent, the food is delicious, and I have Celiac and have never had a problem getting safe gluten free options.

Vanessa Kitova

Friendly staff, but a small (and generic) brunch order for a celiac party took 2 full hours. Safe food, but the wait was too much. Do not recommend blintzes unless you appreciate taking shots of vanilla extract (overwhelming in the filling).
