Gluten-Free Restaurants in Minneapolis, MN

“It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place you think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... 🍹: Xochitl In Love 🍸: La Clandestina 🐟: Tuna Tostada 🌮: Chicken Tinga Tostada 🦪: Seared Scallops 🫓: Tlayuda 🥃: Colita Old Fashioned 🥩: Lamb Barbacoa Tacos 🫔: Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!“

“My girlfriend who isn’t GF loves this just as much as her fav non-GF bakeries in the city. Just go here and try it and you will be coming back all the time lol

Some suggestions for management:
- if there could be more DF options that would be awesome.
- being open on Sunday’s would also be awesome and I feel like it would be the busiest day of the week with people getting baked goods for the week“

“Wow!! First time here and it did not disappoint!! Delicious!!“

“We hired Brasa Catering for our wedding and couldn't happier with the food and service they provided. We received multiple comments that it was "one of the best wedding meals they've had" from a few guests. Not only was the food delicious, but the crew was extremely kind and went above and beyond for us. Thank you again for everything, we'll keep you in mind for future events!“

“Great food and not overpriced“

“The Lowbrow always has great food and staff. I want to give a special nod to Dominic. He made my day so much better with his kindness. What he didn't know was that I had just picked up my mom's ashes from The Cremation Society. Thank you! You made me feel cared for.“

“Always a unique selection, friendly service and great tasting ice cream! I need to make up excuses to treat myself. :) The apple crisp and oatmeal raison cookie flavors are 👌“

“Great customer service, atmosphere, and cider. Training wheels is my favorite. I’d like to see a Honeycrisp cider.“

“Fantastic Food, great music and the wildest bunch of neighborhood regulars.“

“Lovely place and owners. Had a Bauru, an outstanding steak sandwich, named after my hometown in Brazil. The brigadeiro cake was delicious, perfectly balanced with a scoop of raspberry sorbet. Thank you, Kalinka and team. It was a beautiful taste of home.“

“I just stopped in to Mosaic coffee shop after passing it many times. I was very pleasently surprised by it. The interior is cozy and inviting. There were a lot of small groups and I would have loved to stay but it was a bit full (Sunday mid-morning). I would love to come back, claim a spot to myself, and try some of the cafes vegan pastries! They had a wide selection including savory vegan treats (I feel like I don't see vegan savory pastries often!)“

“Ambiance was fantastic
Setting is a beautiful urban restaurant
Food was made fast
Attitude of service was good.
Taste of food was alright
Plenty of parking around the corner
Plenty of seating.“

“The BEST pizza!! Always delivered fresh and hot from the oven!!“

“Amazing food, good service, lovely patio“

“YUM!!! Delicious Neopolitan pizza with fresh ingredients, clean restaurant, food always comes out fast 🤗🍕🥗“

“This is a very quaint establishment. The atmosphere is nice; the staff is GREAT -Emphasis added! I couldn’t go much beyond this character point so… KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!“

“We recently tried Heather’s Pies for the first time and picked up the pies on our way home from the hospital after having a child. Heather’s pies were delicious and her customer service was exceptional! She even gave us one of the pies for free as a congratulations gift to our family! The overall experience was second to none and we highly recommend!“

“We absolutely love Rainbow Chinese! The food is always fresh and delicious. My go-to quick comfort food is their warm sesame noodles. My partner enjoys their General Tso’s Chicken every time. The restaurant itself is beautiful and I love seeing the fish in the tank when we dine in (but the food is also hot and packed great if you get to go). This place clearly has been created with love!“

“My friend and I showed up at around 10:40 PM. We love that they're open until midnight- perfect for a snack and a drink or two after a movie, say. Their Thai coffee is less cloyingly sweet than most, and their pommes frites are all business. The slice of carrot cake is colossal, and also more subtle than most. The warm woodwork and Tiffany lamps make for amazing ambience, whether you're shmoozing a date or debating a movie with friends. An old favorite!“

“We hired Brasa Catering for our wedding and couldn't happier with the food and service they provided.

“Healthy açaí smoothie bowls filled with essential vitamins and antioxidants that taste great!“

“I popped into Brim Cafe & Coffee yesterday and had a great experience. The cafe was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and the food and coffee tasted fresh and high quality. Good local spot near W 66th Street with a relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely go back again and recommend to others.“

“Love this place so much!! Fantastic selection, definitely a shop that knows what they're doing and really care. If you're in it for beer, which is what I know best, it has a solid selection, but not the type of selection you could find elsewhere. However, liquor and wine selections are really great. Lots of great options, solid staff picks, samples and tastings all the time, and really a very nice atmosphere. Posting this spring 2026, and in the past 1-2 years they did some renovating to keep the place fresh and added a walk-in beer cooler for customers which is great! Deli is also very nice and if you're looking to be a little fancy you can find whatever you need for some high class cheese and crackers. Overall great spot thats definitely worth checking out.“

“We always enjoy coming to Ruth's Chris because the service and food is always exceptional. It is relaxing and tables are spaced well so one isn't part of their neighbor's conversation. Last night, however, the music was too loud and the selections were the opposite of mellow or ‘chill', so that did take away a bit from the dining experience. Appreciate when the music is instrumental and truly in the background. We do look forward to our next visit!“

“Bring back the elote pizza! Hands down my favorite. 😎“

“Fantastic coffee and great service“

“Quaint...community coffee spot. Trying the Stirato roll with maple almond butter...They also gave a Potato roll too. Chai is on the sweeter side with just enough hint of spice. Service is warm and space has a good vibe....Current Playlist is a whole vibe.“

“My daughter and son-in-law brought me 3 different treats for my birthday celebration. All 3 are amazing. I ate the cupcake right away and it was moist and beautifully dense like pound cake, I’m having the donut right now a day later and it tastes fresh and flavorful. I tasted a smidge of the tort which I’m excited to have for my dessert tonight. Everything traveled well and is just as fabulous next day. 10/10 recommend because your mama really will appreciate this! 💜“

“Kinda silly but they have my favorite house salad in the city. It’s a large enough portion to be a meal on its own, they use really good greens (no shitty iceberg!), and their ranch is the best. Only downside is they don’t give you quite enough ranch and even when I order extra (and probably pay extra) they don’t always put an extra cup of it in.“

“Wow! Some of the best crepes I’ve had in a long time. Thin, a hint of crispy, good ham and cheese. Be sure to get a sunny side egg on the ham and cheese or the complete. A perfect delightful lunch. One 1️⃣ f the dryer ciders is a perfect pairing for what I had. A perfect lunch time surprise and some nice demonstration of care in creating these treats.“

“The best buns I've ever had. Highly recommend. Service is top notch.“

“Everything was obviously freshly prepared with complex flavors, crisp vegetables and tender chicken. Entrees are very generous so one was plenty with an appetizer for two. Our waiter was also very helpful and pleasant. Mai Thai is a hidden gem in Robbinsdale.“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch take out order been meaning to try it! I asked for my general tso spicy and they actually made it spicy so happy for that nice old school tasting Chinese food circa 92, look foward to trying more items. I do wish they delivered though“

“Awesome breakfast place! I love walking here and grabbing coffee, quiche, or my fav is the huevos rancheros. I dream about it! (I recommend adding chorizo) It’s such a community/neighborhood feel to it and it will be one of the most missed places if I were ever to move away. Such an awesome open space! Yes parking can be tough but who cares it’s the cities.“

“In Fargo, service is not great. i had one bite of my meal and told waiter he could take it. He never asked why, if anything was wrong, just grabbed it and walked away. I wasn't expecting anything other than for him to know why my meal was not hardly touched. He never came back to table until he brought us the bill.“

“I've been going here for decades for their wholesome tasty breads. Dakota is my favorite and I often add a sweetbread from their rotating seasonal offerings. I also treat myself to one cookie (salted caramel is my favorite) to savor on the drive home.“

“Met a friend there for breakfast. We both had ham and cheese omelets. Fluffy but some of the ham cubes were cold. Omelets would have been much better with some herbs...garlic, dill, etc... The potatoes were fantastic. The chunk of bread was dull by comparison. My friend ordered OJ and that was not brought to our table. Had I not noticed that, he would have paid for something not served.“

“First time in today and is now my favorite bakery! Bought a variety box and everything was so yummy! There goes my diet lol!! Such a friendly owner too!! Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful environment, delightful atmosphere, Delicious food and extremely friendly employees is what greeted me. Definitely will return.“

“I had such a great experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I ordered a coffee along with one of their desserts, and both were excellent. The coffee was smooth and perfectly brewed, while the dessert was fresh and not overly sweet.

The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and relaxing, making it a great place to catch up with friends or simply enjoy some quiet time. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Overall, everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be visiting again soon!“
