Top 4 Gluten-Free Spots Across Downtown Bentonville, Bentonville

Grace Byrd

Delicious! So many options to customize with savory gluten free and non gf sweet crepes. Came at a busy time but worth the wait. Served in comes but plates and forks available upon request.

Conifer is something special and not like anything else in the area. The ambience is chill and welcoming. I really enjoy being able to see the chefs do their thing while you dine with the open kitchen area. The food was flavorful, rich and fresh. It seems they pick their menu mostly based on what’s most in season and you can tell. Cocktails were complex and not too sweet. Desserts were well balanced with little pops of savory/salty. All while being completely gluten free! I’m excited to go back!

Anybody who is GF knows that there is gluten-free that tastes gluten-free and then once in a blue moon there is a place like Olly Makes! What a blessing for those of us who must always navigate tough decisions regarding our health and weigh the risks vs. rewards of eating out. I would not say that this place is cheap; but for anyone who has celiac ( or any other symptomatic autoimmune/allergy ) knowing that you are safe and that they are using clean, quality, organic ingredients is worth the price of admission!! The staff was sweet, the atmosphere was unbelievably cozy and the food was exceptional. So happy we found this place! My daughters and I were in heaven!!

Dr DREAM

Great gluten-free pizza and pasta!

Ben Bishop

The Preacher’s Son is an unmissable dining experience. Every dish is unique and clearly well thought out. All our dishes were excellent. So many options for gluten free. Dining with celiac was simple. Pro-tip: pick three entrees and let the waiter/chef pick. You won’t be disappointed.

Jackie was a great server, she was very attentive and had great knowledge about the gluten free options they offered. Everyone was hands on, and made us feel welcomed. Great place, definitely recommend the butternut squash enchiladas!

Jared Morgan

This is my favorite coffee spot. Great tasting coffee and way better pricing than local competition. Super friendly / accommodating staff. Tons of gluten free support for me and my wife - cookies, scones, and more!

Tabitha Graves

This place is a gem! The attention to detail in everything from the decor to the food to the service is incredible. As a person with celiac, I love the fact that I can go to a restaurant and order “real food” instead of just a salad, though those are great too. The lamb burger was perfectly tender and balanced. The Bloody Mary flight was gorgeous and exciting. Don’t miss out on this gastronomic delight.

The atmosphere is something to be admired. The server was attentive! We started off with the fiery hot wings. They were cooked near perfection! My daughter and I had a gluten free pizza with pineapple. The crust was very unique! It was quite tasty! My husband had a Philly steak burger with fries. He said the fries were so good! He did mention that the burger could have used some mayo, but other than that, he thoroughly enjoyed it!

Ashley Goodyear

Brenden was super helpful navigating through gluten and egg allergies in our family! He kept a smile on his face and it was such a pleasant experience! Michele helped us the second time and she seemed very annoyed and like we were inconveniencing her with our questions.

Jessica Nallavali

Very cute little shop! Love the design and colors, also similarly to its name there’s tons of sun light that comes in the shop! Food prices are on the higher side for what it is. They do have plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options which is a plus! I had an açaí bowl. It was okay but felt like I could make the same at home. Considering coming back and trying more of the menu.

Andrea Carrell

We LOVE taco and tamale. It’s one of the few restaurants we can eat at that has a gluten and diary free option (the tamales). I’m leaving a 3 star review because they recently added diary or gluten to their ice box pie which was the only desert we could get. My 6 year old is super sad she doesn’t have a special restaurant to get desert anymore! Otherwise it’s great. Just bring back the gluten diary free ice box pie please!

Maggie Martin

Great location! Right by the entrance to Slaughter Pen Trail. My daughter and I both have celiac so it can be hard to find safe places to eat. So happy we found this one! Prices were reasonable, food was great. Connor was awesome!! Super hard working and knowledgeable about food allergies. Had the employees change gloves when preparing our meals. He was so incredible I actually asked him if his last name is Wright🤪 Makes such a difference to have good staff!!

Michelle Jones

This is a scary themed food truck. Don’t be “afraid” to try this place! Haha it’s sooo good! I had the King of the Monsters made gluten free with a gluten free bun. I also had the Pennywise fries. This food was better than the expensive restaurant I ate at last night. Parking is on the gravel parking lot. There are some picnic tables as well. The truck has spooky theme music playing. Just a fun little place. Definitely go try it! You won’t be disappointed.

Cassie Cafferty

Was very happily surprised! I am gluten free and worried if they would have many options. They did. I had a fabulous rice dish with grilled tilapia and a caddoo sauce.

Candace Friesen

Friendly staff. Delicious gluten free bagel! 10/10 would recommend

Makayla Rhayne

Really cute place. Also, this place is PERFECT for bikers trying to make a stop somewhere. Especially with all the trails nearby. They even have a shower in the room by the bathroom!🤣 Food is a little pricey though😅 I'm gluten-free, so luckily there was some pizza I was able to eat. Im sure the burgers and fries are a lot better so I won't rate food that low lol

Emily Heidemann

Joaquin provided great service. Love the honey roll and having many gluten free options.

Whenever I am traveling, I always research the best chocolate shop at my destination. I was more than a little bit surprised to find a bean to bar chocolate maker in Bentonville. We walked over to the shop prior to our dinner reservation on Thursday evening and I immediately fell in love. The store was super cute and the chocolate selection was extensive. Bee let us know that the majority of the chocolates are gluten free, walked us through our flavor options and let us taste some of the chocolate bars. Everything we tried was smooth and delicious but in the end we purchased the souther pecan bar, harvest party bar and peppermint pretzel bar along with a box of truffles. All of the truffles were amazing but I highly recommend the coconut, pistachio and mocha truffles. As someone who considers themselves a chocolate connoisseur, I was really very impressed!

Amelia Raley

Amazing variety for a completely custom create-your-own ice cream experience. I brought my friend who is dairy free, my family member who is gluten free, and a picky toddler, and we all left so happy! We need TRASH in more places in NW Arkansas!

MissCrystal Artlip

Love their gluten free options. Especially, their Whoopie pie.

Sydney Stroud

Great pizza. Love the gluten free and vegan options!

Came for brunch and the space is really cute however their online menu needs to be updated. Their brunch menu online says they have some healthy options such as overnight oats and avocado toast which were not listed on the menu at the restaurant. The online menu also has a coffee bar with lattes but when I ordered one the waiter said they only do drip coffee. Hopefully they can bring these items back and add some gluten free and dairy alternatives as well to accommodate all dietary needs. Otherwise good food and fun vibe!

Michael Perez-Gelinas

Celiac Gluten Free Safe - traditional non Americanized food. Good service from the bar - recommend

Robien Christie

They have such good gluten free and dairy free options! The golden milk ice cream with chopped pecans on top is my wife’s fav and mine is the dairy free cookie dough with chopped pecans (does have gluten). At less than $4 a person, you can’t really beat those prices either! Only feedback is please make more gf/df flavors or add some temporary ones into your rotation!

If I could rate this more than five stars, I would. My husband and I visited Bentonville for the first time last weekend and our favorite meal by far was at The Hive. Everything was not only delicious but also memorable. I am gluten free, and the chef was very accommodating to my allergy. We ordered Chicken Liver Mousse, which I've actually never really had before, and it was to die for. Creamy with this delicious jam that I am still thinking about. I ordered the Hive Burger because I was craving a burger, and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had (it has some stiff contenders, but let's just say, it was delicious). We also tried the Cast Iron Squash, which was very tasty. My husband ordered the Pan Roasted Bass, and he loved it. Overall, excellent! Worth visiting Bentonville again just to eat here.

We visited the Listening Forest. This place was amazing. If you want to avoid lines, I would recommend a weekday, we was there on Saturday. If not, the lines actually weren't terribly long. The times slots seem like they do great crowd control, helping a steady flow of people so lines are not out of control. There were 9 interactive stations. At least 3 places I had counted to get beverages. Clean facilities and very informative. Only 1 station confused us at area 5. I thought It was the restroom line, and I nearly missed it. This place is a must see. They have gluten-free options. I got a brownie. So good

Krystle Lindsey

It is a cute little bookstore with some awesome books and baked goods. I loved the gluten oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! :)

Benjamin Sluyter

This is a very nice small Walmart and has the best selection of gluten-free items in Northwest Arkansas!

Cyrus Hoorfar

Delicious and quality food! I loved the chicken burrito. They also have gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Jason Killins

Dedicated gluten free bakery! GF Yeast doughnuts here!

Elly

Love that they offer gluten free food options & the iced lumberjack with vanilla foam is always amazing! Limited parking, so come early, or plan on walking.

Sophia Waller Bailey

Kierstyn was an excellent server and the sushi chefs were all friendly and wonderfully talented! We got the Alaskan King roll, Bourbon roll, and AOI choice roll and they were all amazing. It was our 2nd time dining at this restaurant, this time celebrating our wedding anniversary. They were very accommodating to our gluten free needs. We will definitely be back!

Erin Conrad

LOVE this place! They have such diverse events and the staff is always friendly and welcoming even when super busy. One of the best places to hangout in Bentonville without question. Only wish they had more than one Cider/Gluten Free option on tap... (hint, hint)

Connor Hancock

Always takes significantly longer than other chick fil A’s. Frequently doesn’t have certain options ready (have had cold gluten free buns).

Michael McAlexander

Joe has opened a great business in Simple Simon's. The pizza is unlike any other chain pizza-- the hand-tossed, medium pepperoni with extra cheese has a great flavor. The sauce has a tinge of tomato flavor, not too powerful. The dough is perfect-- not crunchy, but not too soft. I also had the bacon chicken ranch, a warm sandwich with green peppers and onions with a calzone-like bread; I ate it first, and it was so scrumptious I forgot about my pickle spear. I look forward to trying the wings and the gluten-free pizza (cauliflower-based) with my wife. The lobby is pleasant; on this chilly day, it was warm and toasty but not sweltering. There are no tables to sit and eat, so for now, Simple Simon's is takout-only. For a medium, two-topping pizza and a delicious "sub" sandwich, I was not sticker-shocked. There are tip jars for cash and tips are available as well via card payment. Parking is a shopping center (location is the former Eureka Pizza on Tiger Blvd.). The road work on Tiger is complete enough to approach from Walton or from Tiger Blvd.

Anne Marie Schudy

Friendly and relatively quick service for a busy Friday evening. High quality food and flavors, great option for vegans, gluten free or just anyone! Highly recommend

Michelle Long

Came here with my husband after a mountain bike ride. Both of us are gluten-free and the owner was absolutely amazing and accommodated us so easily. Our food was delicious! Definitely want to come back here again!

Rachel Stephens

Went here this past weekend after seeing a review that said that this was the BEST coffee experience that the reviewer had ever had. We put the address into the GPS and we were on our way. The inside looks really cool and expensive. There's a neat neon sign. There are cool modern tables, a pretty, penny tiled bar and various types of seating for getting work done or chatting. There is also additional outdoor seating. I was part of a party of four and after looking over the menu, two of them declined to order anything. We purchased two drinks to go, one hot, one iced. My husband got a flat white. He's had flat whites everywhere, including New Zealand so he knows what they taste like. He said his drink was tasteless. Perhaps it was a watery shot? Prior to ordering I told the cashier that I have celiac and was wondering if they knew if their salt mocha was gluten-free. The cashier asked someone pulling shots, and then said, "ahh I'm pretty sure it is." It was already after 3 PM and all I'd had the entire day was a cookie and a scone from down the street. I shouldn't have trusted it, but I went ahead with my order. What came out was a drink that tasted like chocolate milk. I was about a third of the way through it when my stomach started to hurt, so I told my non-celiac family member to finish the drink. They also said it tasted like chocolate milk. Did it contain gluten? Not sure. Possible cross-contamination issues perhaps? Be warned, while it is disclosed on the lower corner of the menu, they have one of those junk fees tacked on for employee benefits. Labor costs are the cost of doing business and should be calculated into the menu price (which is exactly why Sacramento, California is outlawing these junk fees.) "Businesses use hidden fees or junk fees to pitch an artificially low headline price to attract a customer before revealing additional charges," - Eleanor Blume, California's assistant attorney general. Don't have an artificially lower price to entice customers and then have the real cost come out at the register. Have all your labor costs, rent, ingredients, profit margins all factored into your advertised menu price and then have separate line items for each type of tax being charged. Being transparent with customers about pricing is not rocket science. Would I agree with the poster that this was the best coffee experience I've ever had? No. Was it offensively bad where it warrants a 1 star? No. Visited April 2024

Super cool space. Dark, loungey, but inviting. Cubby’s here and there for private-ish nooks to sit and hangout. Full dinner menu! Amazing craft cocktails. I cannot wait to invite my Los Angeles pals to an evening here. Oh! It is 100% GLUTEN FREE. Everything is gluten free!!!
