Top 35 Gluten-Free Spots Across Lincoln Square, Chicago

Hallie Meunier

Genuinely some of the best food I have had in a long time! So fresh and delicious. Staff was so friendly and it was such a cute vibe. I also have celiac disease and need to eat strictly gluten free and they were so knowledgeable about cross contamination and there were only 3 things on the whole menu that couldn’t be made gluten free. This will definitely be a regular spot for me!

I’m so happy we found a great Philly cheesesteak place!!! We’re definitely going to become regulars. I love that they have a gluten free bun option that can actually hold the sandwich together and not just crumble away like most gluten free breads do. The rocky is really great but the authentic is even better. The vegetarian option is really good too!

Frank Gengo

I'm neither vegan nor gluten-free, and I thought that oreo ganache cake was good as hell

Liv G

All of the ice cream is gluten free and vegan, as are the waffle cones. They do make some baked goods with gluten but are very knowledgeable on keeping them separate.

Can’t believe I hadn’t been here before. Such good coffee and amazing bagel sandwiches and bakery items, including lots of gluten free choices!

Stefani Godina

The food is amazing and the customer service is just as great! You can definitely tell the food is made with so much love. I've enjoyed several outings here and always leave so satisfied. Gluten free options make for a 10/10 recommendation! Tell a friend to tell a friend.

Siam Country is one of my faves! They have gluten free options, which as a celiac is so appreciated. I honestly order from them once a week, and it’s always fantastic

Why did I wait so long to try this Lawrence Avenue place out??? Phenomenal. Top tier. Made by skilled people from Southern Greece. Ate the chocolate baklava roll right there which was fairly priced for the high quality and substantial quantity I got. They have cute little counter seats by the window. And then after being offered a sampling of a delicious sweet bread I was absolutely hooked and got a dozen powdered almond cookies for the gathering I was going to. The best cookies of this type that I've ever had. The kind owners even threw in a gluten free almond paste cookie with a raspberry middle for my GF friend (they do have some gluten free and vegan selections). Had a nice conversation with the chill owners and left with my treasures snuggled in a pretty box. The treats were devoured by all at the gathering. Everybody loved it and I mean loved it. This bakeshop has been in business for 35 years. They deserve our support. I will most definitely be back for more. I especially want to try a spinach and cheese pie next.

Went with my Dad & the place was super cool. Old but fancy Irish bar vibes. They have gluten free options as well. I had a gluten free raspberry cake (was delicious). My father was enjoying his few Guinness's & had some breakfast (I wish I could have enjoyed a Guinness too). He did say it was a good pour! We went during the brunch menu and ate in the bar area.

Doesn’t have a ton of gluten free options, but the ones they do have are really good. I love the wings in particular.

Emma Andelson

Their food is absolutely delicious and gluten-free items are really well marked on the menu.

Will Henry

Perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. Came here so my friend could get a gluten free bun and it turns out the food absolutely SLAPS.

Madison Miranda

Very good lunch spot! Will definitely be back. Our server was so personable! I had the Rachel C Turkey Sandwich on gluten-free bread (only .50 cent up-charge!) and it was fantastic! I had the potato salad and slaw as my sides and both were great. We also shared the cheese curds and french fries for an app. Cheese curds were great and fries were standard. Sauces seemed homemade and were delicious.

Moore Kelly

Fresh and flavorful! I’m thankful to have this new spot across the street with delicious gluten free goodies. I got the kissable smoothie, pork empanada, and chicken empanada. Pork was a little sweet with a mild heat. Chicken was cheesy and a good amount of peppers. Both had a fluffy outside that filled me up. The papaya in the smoothie was so good. I’ll definitely be back!

My friends always order from Yes Thai. However the last few times they have been incredibly rude on the phone. I had items in my meal that were not from the item I had ordered. When my friend called to explain, they could not have been less interested. I have two food allergies so I wanted to ensure there was no cross contamination with nuts and gluten. It then became a screaming match to which my friend remained calm and repeated himself multiple times to express the concern and safety of the meal; they hung up the phone on him as well. Since then I ordered once more in hopes that it was just a misunderstanding. I ordered to my friends house and used my name but his address and they were intentionally rude and dismissive on the phone and chuckled once they saw the address. They forgot to put me on hold and it was clear they were talking about my friend as I heard his name come up. They were unusually late as he lives a bit closer and was also told a much faster travel time (30 mins v 95 mins). I really liked the food but I will not stand by especially because of the lack of customer service and respect.

I have always passed by this place several times but never been in here once until October 20th when I went out with one of my friends. Initially before coming here I had to make sure they had gluten free options because my friend cannot consume gluten. My friend and I were happy that they have gluten free bagels! Definitely the store had a lot of options to choose from. I got the northsider sandwich and my friend got the joni sandwich (with the gluten free bagel). It was super good and honestly my first time having a bagel like this. Also they have the best Nola hazelnut latte ever!! I am a huge fan of hazelnut coffee/lattes and when I tried it here…oh man it was instantly my favorite! Definitely rank #1 for me when it comes to hazelnut lattes. A chill and relax place to eat at and enjoy with friends or family!!

Anna’s might be the best Thai food in Chicago. The dishes are always fresh and perfectly prepared, plus they are very accommodating for vegan/vegetarian options, gluten-free options, and food allergies.

Honestly, this is some of the best pizza I've had in Chicago. Certainly the best NY-style. It's a little pricey, but worth it. They also have amazing gluten-free pizza! Very cozy atmosphere, as well.

This place is wonderful. Very nice menu and they also had some specials when we went. My gf had Lake Superior whitefish which was on special and it was very good. I had cassoulet and which was delicious. Both were beautifully presented on the plate. Both were prepared gluten free. A number of other items on the menu could be prepared gluten free as well. The wine list was good and we shared creme brûlée for dessert. The wait staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We sat on their beautiful patio which was enough shaded on a hot day. We will definitely be back

FINALLY!!!! A place which cooks everything from scratch. Delicious food. You’ll want to lick the plate. They can accommodate gluten free with no difficulty and are happy to do it. You don’t feel like you’re a bother. The wine selections are first rate as well. Gather is not a large place and it fills quickly, especially if there’s a performance across the street. Come early like we did at 4:30. Or make a reservation to be sure. The atmosphere is a little too dark for my taste, but it can be adjusted if requested. And best of all, for those GF folks, the desserts are awesome. Truly unique. No crème brûlée to be found anywhere. Yay! (So sick of crème brûlée)

It's a wonderful neighborhood grocery store! I appreciate that I can buy a single piece of fruit or vegetable, and don't have to buy produce in bulk or wrapped in plastic. The employees are friendly and the store is clean. I also love that they offer a variety of international products and gluten free pastas and flours as well. I highly recommend!

The plating at Sweet Moon is so exquisite that I imagine a chef using a pair of tweezers to meticulously place each item to be displayed on the dish. My mother and I talk for at least two minutes about the layout and design of the plated food before diving in and being even more amazed by the flavor combinations. My favorite menu item is the Merengue Roulette, a gluten-free merengue with mascarpone pistachio cream, raspberry jam, baked almond, and whole pistachios. For such well-crafted and well-balanced dishes, the wait time is not long, usually not exceeding 10 minutes. Although the place is typically always filled with people all customers are respectful of the noise level and it is quiet and serene. Great place to work or catch up with a friend!

Very nice, accommodated my friend who had celiac's disease and needed a gluten-free bagel. It was excellent, she said. Thank you for being nice! It's hard to find a place all of us friends can eat together at. We will definitely return!

Megan Stephenson

The food and drinks here are delicious. They have gluten free and vegetarian options. Very cute inside and nice patio. They are attached to the Davis theater.

I’ve been here three times now and the gluten free pad thai is always to die for!! Highly recommend. I also have celiac and haven’t had a reaction before.

Abby Lovaglio

Very accommodating to my families need for gluten free and very great food!

Kelly Beeman

Food, drinks, and atmosphere is so good. So many gluten free and dairy free options. Live music is great!

This place is awesome! The owner Julius Tacadena is the coolest, sweetest, and most kindhearted young gentleman you will ever meet! I tried the Uber Banana Pudding which was a hit! Tho it was not gluten-free as it has mini vanilla wafers, Julius is willing to make it for me gluten-free without the wafers! I My friend and I also tried the Tomato Jam + Egg over rice, and that was really good too! I made a comment to him "You guys are SO accommodating in such a small space" and he said because it's their slogan "Everybody eats". He owns the restaurant with Francis Almeda who also owns Side Practice Coffee right next door to Kanin! And he owns Novel Pizza in Little Village. This grand opening on the very first day was a blasting little Saturday lunch for me and my friend in the neighborhood! I will be coming here 3-5 times a week! Keep it up Julius! You're awesome!!

Amazing Korean comfort food that is also quite healthy. This place is a hidden gem in the Albany Park neighborhood. It appears that everything on the menu is gluten-free and dairy-free. The harmony that runs the place is very sweet! The food is largely Korean noodle and meat soup. The brisket and flank, sliced beef are really good, but you really explore the flavors when you get tendon, tripe, oxtail, tongue, and thinly sliced spleen. No korean bbq dishes. Each dish is very lightly salted, so they have sea salt on every table to add to your taste. The noodles are sweet potato noodles, which are semi translucent and wider than pho noodles (vermicelli)or egg noodles. Everything comes with two different kinds of kimchi, traditional cabbage and diced daikon radish, as well as a bowl of rice. You get your money’s worth! Highly recommended! Note: cash only.
