Gluten-Free Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“The food was outstanding, the server was incredible. We had a party of 10 and she got everyone's order correct, even though she may have been interrupted while taking orders. She was very accommodating, pleasant and made every effort to ensure everyone's needs were met. We had several vegans and vegetarians in the group and everyone was pleased with the taste and presentation of the food. The food and beverages were a little slow coming out, but everything else was great. We'll go again!“

“Our server was amazing! Had a wonderful time ❤️“

“Today CheSa was in my building The Franklin downtown and of course I had to support my own! I got the 4 cheese Mac/jerk chicken bowl. Not too spicy but had a nice kick. Chicken was tender. Only issue is the juice from the chicken made the Mac and Cheese runny at the bottom“

“This late night vegan food really hit the spot! So yummy!“

“A must-visit for ice cream lovers! Great service, spotless space, and a fun atmosphere that turns a simple ice cream stop into a memorable experience. The décor is delightful, charming, and, whimsical. And, of course, the ice cream itself is divine — rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Whether you go classic chocolate or try one of their inventive seasonal creations, you can taste the quality.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Sweet Maple Cafe in the 9th District, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share my experience! The food was absolutely incredible—each bite was a delightful treat. A special shoutout to Twilla, the manager, and her wonderful staff, who made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality. Supporting our local businesses is so important, and Sweet Maple Cafe is a shining example of the quality and care we have in our community. I highly recommend stopping by for a meal—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Yummy food! Awesome service! Full bar! Such fun vibes! Definitely check it out!“

“Wonderful service and excellent rolls!! Overall great experience“

“The atmosphere is relaxed. The service is pleasant. The Parisienne sandwich makes me realize how wonderful simple can be. I crave that sandwich. I ate it for lunch today and already can’t wait for the next time.“

“Very cool place! Love the merging of hard ciders and beers. Definitely will visit again on my next Chicago trip“

“We love it 💞 Mock Balls with salsa.“

“Pan Artesanal slaps every time.“

“The overall environment is so relaxing, I could literally spend the whole day there“

“I don't think this is blow your mind great but the location and vibe are fantastic. I wish I would have gotten a donut because they looked AMAZING. Unfortunately, I got the original breakfast sandwich and it was just okay. Some of the drink options also looked really interesting. Lesson learned that if donut is in the name, get the donut! Overall atmosphere is above average, service and the food I got were just average.“

“Atmosphere: I gave 4 stars, just because too many customers use the space for phone calls and Zoom meetings, creating excess noise.

Service: I gave 4 stars. The service is always efficient, which I appreciate. However, some of the baristas often bring their bad moods or negative attitudes about whatever to work with them, which makes them seem unfriendly, as if customers are a bother.

Otherwise, the coffee is delicious, and the pastries are excellent! (Much better than Starbucks!)“

“Outstanding and flavorful and large portions . High quality Thai“

“We had an absolutely delicious dinner enjoyed by our whole family. Chicken curry. Vindalo shrimp. Naan. Veggie samosas. I would love to eat here again.“

“Vito welcomed my friend and I with such love and generosity as soon as we entered! It's quite pleasant and considerate of him to note the heat outdoors and ask if we would like a cup of cold water to cool us down while we made our order decisions. He provided us with first-rate service, and the food arrived quickly! Vito makes this a destination worth traveling to for the purposeful, excellent service alone! I would strongly advise anyone to visit this place! And Vito, thank you very much!“

“The food here never disappoints, as evidenced by the crowds waiting outside. You can get on the waitlist, but on the computer outside the restaurant, not on your phone, they want to see your whole party before seating you. Everything we got was delicious, even the orange juice tasted freshly squeezed. We visit every time we are in town!“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“My only criticism is the totally overwhelming choice! Bravo to this place for creating a very chilled and inclusive diner :)
I had the Cuban, it was nice. Staff super friendly. Almost 100% vegan, all vegetarian, house or locally made vegan subs are used. It was a great place to wait for the post-game traffic to die down!“

“The best crab cakes I’ve had. Loved the atmosphere and the food was fantastic!! Absolutely recommend this all day, every day!“

“LOVE Smack Dab!! I live in RP and walking to Smack Dab always makes my day. The coffee is amazing. The vibes are so cute and so are the folks that work there. Recommend 100/10.“

“Had the bodega breakfast sando after a long bike ride. The brioche was nothing short of perfect and the whole thing was delicious. Definitely coming back multiple times. Staff was super friendly. and the place has a good atmosphere. This is one of those places that you're surprised it isn't packed.“

“I ordered the gluten free deep dish stuffed pizza and let me tell you, BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD. CRIED TEARS OF JOY BECAUSE IT WAS THAT GOOD. 10/10, CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.“

“I drive 2 hours 1 way to get their treats! Celiac safe!“

“Macaron Bar is a delight! Oh my, the treats are spectacular. Try the pistachio, earl grey, dark chocolate, and coffee especially - absolutely delicious. The texture of the macaron is also stunningly perfect- so hard to achieve, yet they nail it. They are little works of art. We met Sam who works there and she was so sweet to me and my son. We will definitely be back!“

“This was by far the best authentic Italian dinner I've experienced since living for 3 years in Naples Italy 22 years ago. AMAZING food and service with extremely reasonable pricing for the quality. A special acknowledgent and appreciation to Maria that brought the experince to the next level. Great conversations, so inviting and professional! Thank you Maria, I'll certainly recommend to all my frineds and colleagues to come and enjoy as well!“

“This place. Wow. Like a well-oiled pastry machine. I have gone there sporadically over the past couple years but really buckled down and started committing to every Sunday these past few weeks. lol. The variety is just astounding and the quality is second to none. I always have the intention of leaving with 2 or 3 things but so far haven't managed to leave with less than 9 or 10 at each visit. Take my money!!!!!!“

“Loved the diffrent variety of cupcakes.“

“Great brew!! Pancakes were the bomb!!“

“There’s lots of options to choose from (more on the sweeter side). Heads up, this is a grab and go bakery, therefore, there is no indoor seating (only a bar to stand at outside). They will also not heat up the pastries :/

The hot fudge babka $6⭐️4/5
It did not really taste like it had chocolate… it was still delicious, but it tasted more like an apples strudel and banana bread mix—yummy but not chocolate babka lol

The smoked ham brown grainy mustard + Gruyère croissant ($7.50) ⭐️2/5
This didn’t hit it for me :/ If you know you love gruyère cheese, then I say give it a go, if you’re unsure, probably try something else?

Update:
Hot fudge croissant ⭐️3.5/5
A bit on the drier side and I felt that they skimped on the chocolate a bit. But it was a delicious pastry

Blackberry cheesecake danish ⭐️3/5
This was yummy and an easy to-go eat. I wish there was a bit more cheese tho

Banana bread cold brew ⭐️4/5
Idk how they do it, but this legit tastes like banana bread in a drink. Perfect for the fall season.“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“Been here various times because this bakery specializes in croissants! This is the place for the variety of croissants you can’t find in other bakeries.
My favorite is the cheese filled croissant.
I also recently brought pastries for the office and everyone loved them!
The place can be hard time find and is hidden but that makes it much greater!“

“Where do I start… service 100 percent professional and helpful, knowledgeable about wine pairings, food was the best from start to finish. Me and my wife go to a steakhouse in every city we visit and let me tell you it’s hard to nail all aspects of dining,apps, mains, dessert, and wine, but RPM blew me away! This is my #1 steakhouse I have visited in the world…I have been to 30 plus states, 15 countries and nothing has come close to this experience.“

“Amazing place to visit. The staff is friendly and helpful.“

“I had a mistake on my order and I called the staff was amazing . I just wanted my food but they went above and beyond and made it all right the food is great You can go there and be assured your getting good food and service“

“Met for a brainstorming session…their coffee is a catalyst for sure! Great selection of healthy options with just enough sinful options to keep it balanced!“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“So today I had a friend in from out of town and we topped off our afternoon with a visit to Miski Bakery. I was dying to try the alfajores, and they did not disappoint! The very delicate morsels melted in our mouth, and the creamy luscious dollop of dulce de leche caramel was a perfect pairing. In addition we tried the Milhojas/Napoleons in two flavors the Lucuma pastry creme and also the dulce de leche. A thousand layers is correct, these were amazingly tall, crispy and filled with air, both were delicious but the Lucuma(a Peruvian fruit) pastry creme was the standout. It had such a delightful delicate flavor I had never tasted previously. After speaking with Carmen the owner I asked whether or not they ever carried Turrón de doñja Pepa. She just happened to have some freshly baked sitting on the tray behind the counter, but alas it was still awaiting its filling. This gives me a great reason to return and indulge in that special treat. It is prepared every other week. The service was warm and friendly. This is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood you shouldn't miss out on. I will be returning often.“

“Cinnamon bun thingys were delicious! I had the chocolate chip cookies. I don’t like Simi sweet chocolate so I wasn’t thrilled. How hard would it be to use milk chocolate on some of the cookies. The quality and freshness of cookie was great just not the type of chocolate. Please make peanut butter too.“

“I really hope to see more of these pop up around town! My husband and I both agree on this place, the food is very healthy without compromising on taste. We've been ordering a turkey meatball build your own bowl from Uber eats, but I also really enjoyed the overnight oats and breakfast bowl with eggs and micro greens.“

“My favorite coffee shop…EVER!!☕️❤️☕️❤️☕️“
