Niche

Just east of Pike Place Market in Seattle’s vibrant First Hill neighborhood you’ll discover Niche, a spectacular café and bakery. Is it all gluten-free, you ask? Yes! Absolutely. Positively everything is gluten-free and scrumptious, if I might add. You cannot go to Niche without devouring one of their paninis or waffle-inis (i.e. a belgian waffle panini). They are to die for! My favorite waffle-ini has to be the nutella ’n banana and the sweet bacon with apple butter. The sweet n’ salty grilled cheese paninis are equally as good. Niche also makes baked goods, like muffins, cookies, and bars, but I prefer the savory items. It goes without saying that Niche is one of the best gluten-free restaurants in Seattle for brunch. You won’t regret a visit here.

Capitol Cider

Located in the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood and just a few blocks from Pike Place Market is one of the best gluten-free spots in Seattle for happy hour or a fun night out!

Everything at Ghostfish is gluten-free, including the beers! Yes, that means you can enjoy beer flights and try multiple gluten-free beers! Cheers!  Whether you choose the cheesy pork belly mac and cheese, perfectly done steak, BBQ jackfruit, or my favorite beer battered fish and chips, you’ll soon realize Ghostfish doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the food either!

The flavors aren’t your typical boring ice cream flavors either. They’re unique, seasonal, and crap-free, which means no gums, no gluten, no soy, no stabilizers, and no refined sugars. Flavors like California Cabin with cardamom shortbread and the Salty Caramel Ash in their crunchy gluten-free waffle cones are must-trys, but whatever you choose, it will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth.

Best Gluten-Free Friendly Restaurants in Seattle

The gem of Greenwood is also a favorite among celiacs in Seattle. What makes Razzi’s a celiac’s paradise is their attentiveness, the certified gluten-free kitchen, the celiac owner, and the extensive gluten-free menu. It’s easily the longest gluten-free menu you’ll find in Seattle, or at any pizzeria if I am being honest. They seriously have whatever you’re craving. Be it the best gluten-free pizza in Seattle, calzones, greek gyros, pasta, paninis, or cheesecakes, the possibilities are truly endless.

Uli’s Famous Sausage

There aren’t many gluten-free options at the famous Pike Place Market, but luckily there are gluten-free German sausages. Uli’s famous sausages are free of antibiotics, hormones, and fillers. Almost all of the sausages are gluten-free, with the exception of two, and there is a dedicated fryer for fries. Most of the sides are also gluten-free, just make sure to triple check with the waiter.

Celiac Note: Though the waiter is helpful, cross-contamination is possible even with precautions. I would recommend that celiacs buy the uncooked sausages from the deli and prepare them at their Airbnb rental or hotel to avoid cross-contamination and be on the safe side!

Cinnamon Works

Cinnamon Works is easily one of my go to spots for a gluten-free treat while exploring Pike Place Market. The popular bakery makes a wide variety of gluten-free baked goodies, including their signature gigantic cookie. Their renowned Monster cookies are the size of like 4 cookies, but if you want to indulge in one of those you have to get there early because those bad boys sell out fast! They’re just too good to last on the shelf. Besides the Monster cookies, they also have good cinnamon rolls! As for the precautions taken to avoid cross-contamination, they make, bake, and store all the gluten-free goods separately.

Duke’s Seafood and Chowder  

One of the best gluten-free seafood meals you’ll enjoy in Seattle will be at Duke’s. The seafood chain is celiac-friendly and the staff are very attentive when you mention you have celiac disease.
