Columbus has plenty of restaurants that handle a gluten-free order well. The whole-kitchen list is much shorter. Start with Choripan for Argentine comfort food and Portia's for a plant-based meal. Bake Me Happy and Cherbourg cover the city bakery run, while Fully Gluten Free is the worthwhile drive north for raised yeast doughnuts. Every featured place publishes a whole-menu, ingredient, or facility claim. We keep the exact scope and practical caveats visible.

We checked each venue's current official site on September 7, 2026. Featured restaurants state that all dishes or ingredients are gluten-free. Featured bakeries state that the bakery or kitchen is dedicated, or that wheat and gluten have never entered their kitchens. This guide does not infer certification or equipment controls beyond those published claims. Read how Sansglu evaluates restaurant safety signals.

1. Choripan Argentine Grill
Argentine Comfort Food
5927 Karric Square Dr · Dublin
100% gluten-free kitchen · separate fryer
Start with the choripan sandwich or a mixed box of empanadas. The current menu also covers the hard-to-find comfort-food orders: fish and chips, chicken nuggets, pizza, churros, and fritters.
The restaurant says every dish is free of gluten, grains, nuts, soy, sugar, and seed oils. The kitchen renders beef tallow for frying and makes its breads and empanada dough in-house. The official address is 5927 Karric Square Drive, one door number away from the current Sansglu row.
The Super Power Wrap and Pad Thai with kelp noodles are the useful first choices. Breakfast runs all day, and the current gallery also shows curry soup, breakfast burrito bowls, and the Seven Layer Sombrero Dip.
Portia's says it uses only naturally gluten-free ingredients and no animal products. Its site also links a current allergen guide. The published claim covers ingredients, but it does not describe certification or separate-equipment protocols. The official street number is 4428; Sansglu currently stores 4432.
Get the Oatmeal Creme Cloud, the marshmallow-filled signature cookie, then add a zebra snack cake or a rotating sweet or savory scone. Celebration cakes need a separate advance order.
Bake Me Happy describes the South Side shop as a 100% gluten-free bakery. The official location page lists espresso drinks, groceries, and an expanded freezer at this address. Most daily items also reach the Dublin shop, but availability varies.
The Double Lemon Bar is the house bestseller. The current menu also lists cinnamon and coffee doughnuts, blueberry muffins, strawberry scones, quiche, and savory strata.
Cherbourg says no wheat, gluten, peanuts, or tree nuts have ever been used in its kitchens. Everything is made by hand in small batches, and the Bexley bakery closes early, so arrive before the afternoon selection thins.
Raised yeast doughnuts are the destination order, but Friday pickup requires an advance order to guarantee them. The counter also stocks cake doughnuts, bagels, breads, and frozen take-home items.
The celiac family-owned business calls itself a dedicated gluten-free bakehouse. It sits in Delaware, north of Columbus. Fresh raised yeast doughnuts have a narrow production schedule, so order for Friday pickup before making the drive.
Does Columbus have dedicated gluten-free restaurants?
Yes. Choripan says every dish is gluten-free, and Portia's says it uses only naturally gluten-free ingredients. Columbus also has dedicated bakery options at Bake Me Happy and Cherbourg, plus Fully Gluten Free in nearby Delaware.
Where can I get a full gluten-free dinner near Columbus?
Choripan in Dublin is the broadest savory choice. Its current menu includes Argentine sandwiches, empanadas, fried fish, chicken, pizza, sides, and desserts. Portia's in Clintonville serves a fully plant-based menu made with naturally gluten-free ingredients.
Where can I find dedicated gluten-free doughnuts in Columbus?
Cherbourg in Bexley lists several daily doughnut flavors. Fully Gluten Free in Delaware specializes in cake and raised yeast doughnuts, but it only guarantees fresh raised doughnuts through Friday pre-orders.
Which Columbus gluten-free bakeries are also nut-free?
Cherbourg says its kitchens have never used peanuts or tree nuts. Choripan also says all dishes are nut-free. Bake Me Happy and Fully Gluten Free do not make that same blanket claim on the source pages reviewed for this guide.
Does a dedicated gluten-free restaurant remove every allergy risk?
No. Gluten-free status does not cover dairy, eggs, soy, nuts, oats, or supplier-level cross-contact. Read each venue's current allergen information and discuss your own needs before ordering.
Checked, not on the list
Gluten Free Biscuits by Daddy-O: The official site calls the Columbus shop a gluten-free biscuit cafe and shows a fully gluten-free menu, but it does not publish a whole-facility or no-wheat statement. We held it for direct confirmation.
Mjomii Dessert & Coffee House: Recent diner reports describe an entirely gluten-free facility, but we could not find the same whole-facility claim on a current first-party page. We held it for direct confirmation.
The Mochi Shop: Its official site says the rice-flour mochi doughnuts are gluten-free. It does not say the full production space excludes wheat, so it does not meet this dedicated-guide gate yet.
Preston's: A Burger Joint: Its gluten-free handling can include separate preparation and a dedicated fryer, but the kitchen also handles wheat. That is useful celiac-friendly evidence, not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
