After visiting Seattle recently, I absolutely fell in love with the scenery of the Pacific Northwest and all that there is to do, and even more importantly, eat in this city! And if you’re a gluten free foodie like I am, you will be in heaven with all of the amazing options for you in Seattle. Even if you don’t have a food allergy, the places I’ve listed below are amazing places to eat and most have many non-gluten free options too. Read on for all the best places to eat here, and make sure you check out my Seattle City Guide if you haven’t already, for all of my tips on where to stay and what to do while you’re here!
- Biscuit Bitch
- One of my favorite places to indulge for breakfast or brunch in Seattle is definitely Biscuit Bitch. There are a few different locations throughout the city, including one at Pike Place Market, with both regular and gluten free biscuits that are out of this world! Make sure you try the Hot Mess Bitch, a delicious combination of a biscuit topped with grits, gravy, scrambled eggs, cheese, and sausage, all of which can be made gluten free (!!!).
- Cinnamon Works
- Another place I frequented more than once during my week in Seattle is Cinnamon Works, a bakery stand right in Pike Place Market. Get here bright and early, or about 8am, for their fresh-out-of-the-oven cinnamon rolls, which were by far the best gluten free ones I’d ever had. They also have plenty of other gluten free bakery options that are fantastic, including monster cookies bigger than your head. And whether you’re vegan or just want a regular, gluten-filled cookie or cinnamon roll, they’ve got you covered for those too.
- Lowell’s
- A Seattle institution, Lowell’s is a casual restaurant with fresh seafood for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and plenty of gluten free options. For breakfast or brunch, try the smoked salmon egg scramble and for lunch or dinner, the grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas are a great choice.
- Duke’s Seafood & Chowder
- With seven different Seattle locations, Duke’s Seafood & Chowder is another option for fantastic, fresh seafood. They have an entire gluten free menu with a huge range of options, including several different seafood chowders that are gluten free, something that is not easy to find.
- Pike Place Chowder
- While there are only two chowders on the menu that are gluten free, I still wanted to try Pike Place Chowder as it is so well-known for its chowder. I tried both the Manhattan style clam chowder and the vegan lime and coconut chowder and can highly recommend them both, but would love to see even more gluten free options here in the future!
- Razzi’s Pizzeria
- Switching gears here a bit, Razzi’s Pizzeria is definitely your best bet in Seattle for delicous gluten free pizza, pasta, calzones, and even fresh garlic bread or cheesy bread. This place is basically your gluten free heaven for all the delicious carbs you could ask for! And if you’re vegan or even vegan and gluten free, don’t you worry because they’ve got you covered with separate menus and an abundance of options for everyone.
- Capitol Cider
- I can’t possibly list gluten free Seattle options without including Capitol Cider, a 100% gluten free restaurant in Pioneer Square. Being able to order anything off the menu is such a treat for me, and I went all out with an order of fish and chips plus fried cheese curds, two things that I’d never had gluten free before (!!). I highly recommend checking out Capitol Cider for brunch or dinner, and be sure to make a reservation, especially on the weekends, as this place gets quite busy.
- Sweetgrass Food Co.
- For a delicious, healthy option, check out Sweetgrass Food Co. for yummy grain bowls and salad bowls, with many gluten free options, plus smoothies and fresh juices as well.
- I Love My GFF
- While I didn’t have a chance to check out this weekday lunch cart for myself, it has rave reviews for its organic quinoa bowls and gluten free cookies too. This is definitely on my list for places to check out on my next visit to Seattle!
- Niche Gluten Free Bakery
- If you’re looking for a casual breakfast or lunch, Niche Bakery is a 100% gluten free bakery with plenty of great options for you. Everything from bagels, to waffles, to paninis are available and made fresh here.
- Shug’s Soda Fountain
- Shug’s Soda Fountain was another favorite of mine in Seattle, with things like traditional ice cream sundaes and shakes, as well as boozy options like champagne floats and prosecco floats that are seriously amazing. Most of the ice cream flavors are gluten free too.
- Elleno’s Greek Yogurt
- Last but certainly not least, Elleno’s Greek Yogurt is fresh yogurt made in small batches, with plenty of fruit and toppings to add to it. They have several locations throughout Seattle, including one at Pike Place Market.
As you can see, Seattle is an absolute paradise for delicious gluten free food options, with so many places to enjoy allergy-friendly eats, with everything from fresh seafood, clam chowders, fresh baked treats, and much more!
