Leven Bakery & Cafe, Braeswood Place Safety 75

Bakery & Cafe · 4191 Bellaire Blvd · Braeswood Place

100% gluten-free kitchen

Start with the sourdough breakfast sandwich or breakfast burrito, then add a cinnamon bun or blueberry muffin from the bakery case. The current catering menu also lists quiche, coffee cake, cookies, brownies, and whole cakes.

Leven describes the bakery and cafe as 100% gluten-free, and its current ordering pages show an all-gluten-free menu. The public pages do not spell out certification, supplier controls, or every kitchen protocol. Mention celiac disease when you order and ask about any allergens beyond gluten.

Bare Bakery, Upper Kirby Safety 95

Cakes & Bakery · 3600 Kirby Dr Ste A · Upper Kirby

100% gluten-free kitchen

Check the daily menu for the current cake slices, cookies, cupcakes, and seasonal specials. For a celebration, preorder a whole cake and select the pickup option during checkout.

Bare Bakery says its entire menu is gluten-free and dairy-free and that everything is baked in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Walk-in ordering is available Tuesday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m., but preordering gives you more choices. Whole cakes may not be available on site.

Gluten-free in Houston, answered

Where are the best gluten-free restaurants in Houston?

This hub maps 3 gluten-free spots we've checked across Houston and by category — bakeries, fast-casual, and sit-down. Each one links to a detail page with order notes and celiac safety signals.

Which Houston restaurants run a 100% gluten-free kitchen?

We flag the spots that run a 100% gluten-free kitchen with a "100% GF" marker; others may keep a separate gluten-free prep area. Either way, confirm current ingredients and prep with the restaurant before eating.

How does Sansglu choose the Houston restaurants in this guide?

We start from published restaurant data, then check sourcing, menus, and kitchen-setup signals, and we re-check as places change. It is an editorial field guide for celiac diners, not a paid-placement list.

Can I trust this guide for celiac disease?

Use it as a strong, kitchen-checked shortlist — then ask the restaurant the final cross-contact questions before you order. The guide is decision support, not a guarantee of medical safety.

How we check

Every Houston spot is checked by Sansglu Editorial

We focus on dedicated and strong-signal gluten-free kitchens, confirmed from each restaurant's own sourcing and safety data rather than user votes or scraped star ratings. We flag the spots that run a 100% gluten-free kitchen, check each against how its kitchen actually runs, and re-check as places change, so the list stays honest. Last updated September 2026.
