Gluten-Free Vegan Cafe
108 W Chicago Ave · River North
100% gluten-free kitchen

The sweets and snack case are the move, especially if you are stacking gluten-free with dairy-free or vegan. Expect a lighter, cafe-style stop rather than a big sit-down restaurant.

ingrained is built around gluten-free vegan food, but it is not nut-free. If nuts are part of your allergy stack, ask before ordering. For celiac alone, it is one of the better downtown-ish dedicated options.

River North gluten-free FAQ

Where can I find a gluten-free restaurant in River North?

Start with ingrained. This guide includes 1 gluten-free restaurant, with map locations, order notes, safety tiers, and links to restaurant pages when available.

Are these River North restaurants dedicated gluten-free?

Not necessarily. Each listing shows its current Sansglu safety tier. A dedicated facility, a separate gluten-free kitchen, and gluten-free options in a shared kitchen are different signals. Confirm current ingredients and preparation practices before eating.

How does this neighborhood guide decide what to include?

The page starts with restaurants in the Sansglu guide dataset, then checks restaurant sourcing, menus, kitchen setup signals, and whether each spot has a publishable restaurant page. It is an editorial field guide, not a paid placement list.

What should I check before dining?

Confirm whether the whole kitchen is still gluten-free, ask about ingredients and prep changes, and use the live app page for current safety signals. The guide is decision support, not a guarantee of medical safety.
