Gluten Free in Seattle
Seattle is a great place to visit and live gluten free. Here are some of our local favorites.
Gluten Free Bakeries:
We are so lucky to have a couple of gluten free bakeries in Seattle.
- Dolce Lou (206) 395-4623 A gluten, corn and soy free made-to-order bakery specializing in cakes, cookies, pastries and breads. Egg and dairy free options are also available.
- Flying Apron 3510 Fremont Ave North, Seattle, WA (206) 442-1115; 16541 Redmond Way, Ste E Redmond, WA A gluten free bakery with "your good health in mind." I have come to really appreciate Flying Apron. Baked items are made using the finest organic ingredients; whole grain wheat free flours and organic non hydrogenated oils. The Flying Apron is a wheat free, gluten free and vegan bakery.
Bakeries that sell Gluten Free Items:
The following is a list of local bakeries that sell gluten free items, in addition to traditional wheat-based items. Double check to confirm the gluten free status of their items. We consider the risk of cross-contamination too high and will not eat items made in a wheat bakery, but that is a personal choice for you to make.
- Cinnamon Works, Specialty Bakery 1536 Pike Place, Seattle (206) 583-0085 While the ingredients they use are certified gluten free and their gluten free goods are baked in a "controlled" environment, they warn that "because we are a bakery that produces traditional, wheat baked goods, we do not have control over the wheat in the air." We have gotten sick after eating here so I would not recommend this bakery.
- Cupcake Royale Now selling GF Cupcakes at all tive locations including one on the Eastside in Belllevue. Not a dedicated GF bakery, but they wash all pans , clean and sanitize the bowls, and place them on the top of the speed rack so no crumbs from other cakes fall on the Gluten Frees. When in the case, they are displayed separately and separate serve-ware is used (tongs, utensils)
- Great Harvest Bakery 4709 California Ave SW, Seattle 98116
(206) 935-6882
- Stuffed Cakes 9003 35th Ave SW in West Seattle (206) 428-8581 A "regular" bakery that has at least one GF flavor of cupcakes available in the shop each day and many more that can be ordered, including a GF Vegan cupcake. While the bakery is not exclusively GF they do take precautions to avoid contamination including doing "GF baking first in the day when everything is cleaned/sanitized the night before and there's no flour dust in the air. All GF ingredients are stored in air tight containers. Cupcakes are served on their own tray at the shop. The fondant is gluten free and vegan so we can use it for everyone."
Gluten Free Friendly Restaurants in the Greater Seattle Area:
Most of the fine dining restaurants in Seattle are very capable of accommodating a gluten free diet. Call before you go and speak to the chef or the manager of the kitchen. I have had wonderful experiences eating at a lot of Seattle and Eastside restaurants including Italianissimo Ristorante in Woodinville, Pomegranate in Redmond and Wild Ginger and The Brooklyn in Seattle, Here are some that offer gluten free options on their menus. Always inform the servers of your dietary restrictions and re-confirm that necessary steps are taken to prevent cross-contamination!!
- Andaluca 407 Olive Way Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 382-6999 Featuring Mediterranean cuisine and an extensive gluten free menu which includes tapa, steak and more. Located in the Mayflower Park Hotel offering a great down-town atmosphere.
- Cafe Flora, 2901 E Madison St, Seattle (206) 325-9100A local favorite. The restaurant is vegetarian, but the food tastes so good you will hardly realize that the restaurant is vegetarian. Items that are gluten free are marked on the menu. Go on a nice afternoon and eat on the inside patio. It is really lovely.
- Chef Liao6012 Phinney Ave N Seattle (206) 789-6441 Now carrying GF soy sauce and will modify recipes for your GF diet.
- Fresh Bistro4725 42nd Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116 | 206-935-3733 Offering a GF menu in West Seattle. Don't expect GF bread or pasta, but do expcet good classic bistro fare that is naturally gluten free.
- Garlic Jim's Serving gluten free pizza in most of its Washington and Oregon chains.
- Maggianos Little Italy, 10455 Ne 8th St, Bellevue Offering gluten free corn pasta. The Chef will come out and help design a meal that meets all of your dietary requirements. Unfortunately, we were "glutenized" here TWICE when they cooked our pasta in the same water they used for wheat pasta. Make sure you ask for the Chef and are very clear about your gluten free needs. We no longer eat here.
