Gluten-Free Restaurants near Essex Junction, VT

“Outstanding bakery! Big city taste & quality in little Essex Vermont. Just eat here!“

“Clean and welcoming. Food is good, but yes, portions are small. The breakfast flight - choice of 4 items comes in a tv-dinner type plate - divided into 4 compartments! I like to mix my food/flavors on a plate, and I can count to four - so this is off-putting and unnecessary. Maybe save the plate for children.“

“Firecracker is my absolute favorite take out go to!!“

“I travel 3 hours to visit. Best food!!! ❤❤❤“

“Delicious food in a cozy setting. Definitely recommend it. 🙏“

“Street parking, small and cozy restaurant and reservation recommended.
Our first time there and not impressed with the food. Service was very good, cocktail was rather small for the $17 charged and had a very strong cardamom taste. Pizza was ok. Crust was a little on the soft side (partly soggy). Looks like the Verace style but far from having the same taste and texture.“

“Stopped by Sweet Simone’s a few weeks back while in town for a golf trip and happened to catch their Aperitivo event (the oysters were on point). The atmosphere was amazing, the people were welcoming, and the food was spot on. We made a point to swing back the next morning to try breakfast and pastries, and they were just as impressive. Fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious. They actually had a bagel flavor of bacon/egg/chese which was awesome. Can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll be glad you did.“

“Awesome crust! They always excel!“

“Such a cute place with great coffee and perfect place to work“

“We came because it’s our son’s birthday and near our house. Didn’t really plan it out—just impromptu because it was supposed to snow and wanted to go ahead and get our son some birthday treats. Wow, what a great choice we made! Got a chocolate raspberry cake—which we’ll eat today—plum danish—and a strawberry shortcake with matcha icing (our 5y son picked lol) which was shaped like a Christmas tree and even had gold leaf and little pomegranates as ornaments. Best danish we’ve ever had plus they gave us an extra since it was near closing. Son loves the match dessert. We will be back!“

“Amazing service and food and atmosphere“

“Super barista and fantastic baked goods. I just wish they opened earlier as I start work at 8:00.“

“Thank you barrio for staying open during this awfully trying time. Shout out to Martha for always having a smile when she brings us our coffee out. Favorite barista in Burly!!!! Cheers and stay safe 💙 5 stars!!!!!“

“I was visiting the area and looked up GF foods. As I was leaving for my long trek home, I stopped at the bakery first and bought a bunch of items (on recommendation of another patron in the bakery). Absolutely every item I bought was amazing! My family got to try it all and agreed that everything tasted just like non-GF foods! (they don't usually like MY stuff). I now think I need to make another several hour drive just to stock my freezer!“

“This is a special, quaint little place, that I’ve visited for over 20 years. Great, inviting casual hot/cold bar and sandwiches. Decent picks for vegan. Have not ever tried their sandwiches, but look good. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-16“

“We worked long distance with Abbey at Sugarsnap during the pandemic to plan our daughter's May 2021 wedding reception. She made everything incredibly easy and was available and timely with all of our questions. The menu options were expansive -- enough to meet the needs of all our guests with such variety. It was important to me that we highlight local ingredients, and that is simply a part of Sugarsnap's mission. Once the event finally arrived, we were anxious to sample the food after having planned for so long! We couldn't have been happier. The food was fresh, prepared and served so beautifully, and so delicious! Abbey and her staff were easy to work with -- professional but at the same time incredibly friendly and easygoing. The staff was also diligent about safety and comfort of the guests during the reception. We were glad they could be a part of our celebration, and I highly recommend them for yours!“

“SUCH a great place! This is the BEST breakfast I have eaten in a long, long time! The food (eggs, hash browns, bacon) were all served piping hot for starters. In the past I have eaten hash browns that were soggy, limp and not even warm. These were crispy, proper temp and seasoned perfectly. Bacon was also cooked to perfection and the texture was just as it should be.. Scrambled eggs were delicious - not under or overcooked. Our almond croissant was flaky and complimented by the delicate almond flavor. Yum! Can't wait to try the maple blonde brownie for dessert tonight. ; )“

“My spouse and I order meals from Belleville Bakery at least twice a month. Shelley’s meals, including sandwiches, are unique and delicious, full of flavor. Her pastries and baked goods are exceptional. Sooooooo yummy! A few months ago, Shelley started offering Saturday brunch at the bakery: “bring friends and meet new people.” I’ve been curious about the brunch since its inception, so when Shelley announced a brunch in late September, I decided I’d celebrate my 76th birthday at Belleville. I was lucky enough to snag all ten reservations. I, my spouse, and eight of my very good friends enjoyed a glorious brunch at Belleville Bakery. We loved every bite of every dish on the brunch menu—not one flaw. Shelley is a superb chef and baker. She’s gracious and welcoming. We felt comfortable and at home. Thank you, Shelley, for one of the best birthday celebrations EVER! My birthday cake was beautiful. We had a wonderful morning. Thanks so much, Shelley and staff, for a memorable meal and morning. You’re the BEST!“

“The food was AMAZING! I got lox scrambled eggs with a popover and will def go back for the exact same thing!!!“

“I have been going out to eat all of my life; this is the best restaurant I have ever been too. The atmosphere is spectacular, the staff went above and beyond and of course the food was unbelievably splendid. I’m genuinely thinking about moving to Vermont just so I can eat here more often-! What a wonderful time thank you guys! Everyone one is so sweet, thank you for the tea leaves 💕 I’ll be back soon :)“

“I’ve been to EB Strongs a number of time and the food is always good. But I will say the reason I’m leaving a review tonight is the service was especially great. I just decided to to sit at the bar tonight and the bartenders Renee and James were great!“

“Definitely the best bagel shop in Burlington!“

“Bartenders Will and Jayden did a fantastic job. Service was quick and prompt. The food was even better. I don't know what this place is paying them but this place should pay them more. Excellent service. Hip atmosphere job well done 👏 Shane“

“yummy breakfast sandwiches!“

“Last time I went (years ago) there wasn’t an option for coffee. The addition of the coffee selection is amazing and the amount of flavor choices is S-tier. Very happy with the few baked goods I purchased today as well. Great job Klingers! Loved the bread to begin with and happy to have an actual bakery to frequent for some nice, little treats. 🖤♥️🖤“

“We have been coming here since 1986 when it was a tiny spot that let us teenagers sit and drink coffee all day. They are one of Burlington’s oldest and most loved restaurants, known for their early bird Bistro dinner that serves French classics like Beef Bourgignon, Steak Frites and even gluten free Cavatappi Carbonara. Tonight it was snowing hard and the restaurant was still full and the service was terrific. It’s our go-to place for the last 35 years and I’m grateful they are still around.“

“Always awesome food, best fries ever!“

“This restaurant has been our favorite for 20 years! We go several times a year and have never, ever had a bad experience. The staff is so knowledgeable and top notch. The food is superb (especially the sesame chicken dumplings and dry fried green beans…..and the cauliflower….and the lemon shrimp…..and if there’s any fish specials….)“

“Pizza is good, prices are nice compared to other places around. Someone said it is like the domino's of Burlington. That makes sense to me. I only tried cheese pizza and breadsticks. I like the marina dipping sauce they use. We got take-out so I can't rate much else. It serves for a good late night snack too. ?“

“You can technically get better pizza, but it's pretty good overall. I represent a club on the university campus and specifically wanted to call out their delivery driver David Shapiro; an absolute professional. When he called me to let us know he was here with our order, he knew off the bat exactly where on campus to go; we found him first try. They should send him on all orders that go to the UVM campus.“
