The gluten-free kitchens we've checked in New York, organized by neighborhood and by category. We confirm each one from how the kitchen actually runs, not what the crowd posted — and flag the spots that run a 100% gluten-free kitchen.
Neapolitan · Separate GF oven · 309 W 50th St · Hell's Kitchen
The gluten-free Neapolitan pizza, fired in its own oven, with the staff announcing it as gluten-free when it reaches the table. The classic margherita is the safe move.
Don Antonio preps gluten-free dough in a separate area and bakes it in a dedicated gluten-free oven inside an otherwise shared kitchen. Two honest caveats: the fried Montanara starter is not on a confirmed dedicated fryer, so skip fried items if you are highly sensitive, and the gluten-free dough is now made with gluten-free wheat starch, which meets the gluten-free standard but some celiacs still prefer to avoid.
Neapolitan · Separate GF kitchen · 77 Fulton St · Financial District
The current gluten-free menu spans classic and specialty Neapolitan pizzas, Montanara and pizza fritta, Roman-style pizza, arancini, lasagna, salads, and desserts. Start with a Margherita or one of the gluten-free specialty pies.
Kesté is a wheat pizzeria, but its official site says gluten-free pizzas use a certified dedicated area with separate ovens and utensils. It does not publish a separate-fryer detail or name the certifier. The current official location is 77 Fulton Street in the Financial District; older Bleecker Street and West Village results refer to a former location.
Japanese · Hand Rolls · 33 Carmine St · West Village
100% gluten-free kitchen
Open-style temaki built to eat the second they hit the plate. Get the salmon and the lobster, and a set menu is the easy call on a first visit.
Founding chef Taka Sakaeda has celiac disease and the kitchen runs gluten-free, soy sauce included, which is why the celiac community treats it as a safe hand-roll spot. It's a small, popular group with a few locations, so it's worth a quick call to confirm the setup before you sit.
Open-style temaki is the whole point, so build a set around the salmon and the yellowtail and let them come out one at a time. The fried appetizers and the churros are the tell that this is a gluten-free menu rather than a menu with gluten-free options on it.
A founding chef has celiac disease, and the menu runs gluten-free right through the tempura and dessert. Nami Nori does not publish a kitchen or allergen statement on its own site, so the fully gluten-free description comes from celiac writers who have eaten there rather than from the restaurant. Worth confirming when you book.
The current menu lists trio rice bruschetta, arancini, rice-flour fritto misto, mixed-mushroom and Amarone risottos, rice pasta on request, tiramisu, profiteroles, and cannoli.
Risotteria Melotti describes its food as 100% gluten-free rice-based cuisine. Its site does not publish certification, separate-fryer, separate-kitchen, or staff-training protocols, and Sansglu's community evidence includes adverse-reaction reports. Reserve ahead and mention celiac disease when ordering.
The current menu includes fried calamari, house-made pasta and gnocchi, risotto, chicken parmigiana, seafood, tiramisu, and other Italian desserts.
Senza Gluten says its menu is 100% gluten-free and that no gluten-based products are used in the restaurant. It asks guests to disclose other allergies and publishes a cross-contact warning for allergens beyond gluten because of the kitchen's size and setup.
Gluten-Free Italian · 535 Hudson St · West Village
100% gluten-free kitchen
The current menu covers handmade gluten-free pizza, pasta and ravioli, mozzarella sticks, calamari, burgers, and a full weekend brunch. Burrata Prosciutto pizza and Garganelli Pesto are strong starting points.
Wild describes its menu as 100% gluten-free and says its pasta is handmade in a 100% gluten-free kitchen. Its current site does not publish certification, fryer, or staff-training details. This listing covers the West Village location; Wild Park Slope is a separate Brooklyn sibling.
Coffee & Crepes · 319 Hooper St · South Williamsburg
100% gluten-free kitchen
A savory crepe with egg and greens, folded into a cone so you can take it up Hooper. The maple matcha crepe is the sweet one people come back for, and the coffee is roasted in Brooklyn.
The menu here is three things, and none of them involve wheat: coffee, vegan smoothies, and crepes made from sweet rice flour. Customers report staff saying there is no gluten in the building, and celiac directories list it as dedicated, but Align makes no facility claim on its own site. We list it on the strength of a menu with nothing to cross-contaminate. Closes mid-afternoon.
The breakfast bagel sandwich is the one to get, because a gluten-free bagel that holds together is rare. Otherwise the smoked salmon and scrambled egg bowl, or avocado toast that arrives on bread you can pick up.
This is the only spot on the list where the business itself makes a kitchen-level claim. Impact Kitchen states that it is a gluten-free kitchen and carries 100% gluten free across its own site, so you can order off the full menu without a conversation. Open daily until 9pm, which makes it the reliable late option here.
The breakfast burrito or paleo waffles in the morning; power bowls, gluten-free wraps, sourdough toast, and baked goods later in the day. The current NYC menu also runs dinner and weekend brunch.
Impact calls the NoMad kitchen and its full menu 100% gluten-free, and it also avoids refined sugar and seed oils. The menu uses oats, dairy, eggs, soy, sesame, and nuts, so check the ingredient list if gluten is not your only concern.
Grandma Slices · 100% gluten-free · 1427 3rd Ave · Upper East Side
100% gluten-free kitchen
Grandma-style pizza by the slice or whole pie. The Modern Italia dinner menu adds appetizers, salads, and pasta combinations from 5pm. Breakfast and sandwiches run from 8am to 5pm.
This is the takeaway-only branch at 1427 Third Avenue. Its kitchen is dedicated gluten-free, but that does not mean oat-free: the brand lists gluten-free oat milk and certain packaged mixes as exceptions. Check ingredients for other allergies. Branch details checked September 22, 2026.
Bone Broth Bowls · 90 W 3rd St · Greenwich Village
100% gluten-free kitchen
Build a bowl on the grass-fed beef bone broth, or just drink the broth straight in winter. The Golden Beet Salad is the sleeper, and the gluten-free croutons are made in house.
The whole kitchen runs on one rule the founders repeat like a mantra: no seed oils, no refined sugar, no gluten, ever. It's been the Village's bone-broth shop since 2016. One caveat worth knowing: it's gluten-free but not nut-free, since the dressings lean on cashews.
Build a bowl on the bone broth rice, or order Grandma's Chicken and Rice when it is cold out. The salmon bowl travels well if you are walking it down to the waterfront.
Springbone runs one rule across every location: no seed oils, no refined sugar, no gluten, ever. Read it for what it is, an ingredient rule rather than a published cross-contact protocol, because the company does not describe its kitchen setup anywhere on its site. It is a fast counter at lunch, so say celiac when you order. The dressings use cashews.
Build a roll or grab the chirashi, and use the gluten-free soy sauce that is standard here, not a special request. The spicy tuna and the salmon avocado are the reliable orders.
The owner is celiac and runs the counter 100% gluten-free, sauces and all, with certification in the works. That means the soy sauce, the most common hidden-gluten trap in sushi, is gluten-free by default. It's a quick, casual counter, good for a fast lunch.
Rolls wrapped to walk with, which is the point on Bedford. The tempura shrimp roll is the one worth the detour, since fried and gluten-free rarely appear on the same counter.
The owner has celiac disease and the menu is gluten-free down to the soy sauce, which is where most sushi quietly goes wrong. One caveat we will not paper over: the brand site no longer resolves and forwards to a delivery listing instead, so there is no current first-party page describing the setup. Ask at the counter.
The current Astoria menu features Philly Rio Steak and Chicken Club tapioca sandwiches, pão de queijo paninis, traditional, spicy, and pesto cheese breads, the Monster açaí bowl, smoothies, coffee, and matcha.
TAP says every location is completely gluten-free and describes its operation as safe from cross-contamination. Its site does not publish certification, separate-equipment, fryer, or staff-training details. This entry is Astoria; the Upper West Side and Midtown East cafés are separate siblings.
Breads, pastries, and prepared provisions for taking home. The loaves are the reason to make the trip up to Riverdale.
Celiac-owned and built as a 100% gluten-free kitchen using only organic gluten-free flours, this is the rare dedicated bakery serving the northwest Bronx. It's provisions-first rather than a café, so think of it as a stock-up stop and check the hours before you go.
Cookies, brownies, and seasonal pastries, all free of the top nine allergens. The chocolate chip cookie is the one people come back for, so grab a box to take home.
Bub's bills itself as New York's first top-nine-allergen-free bakery, so beyond gluten there is no dairy, egg, peanut, tree nut, soy, or sesame anywhere in the place. One thing to know, nearly everything is built on oats and oat flour, which is gluten-free but worth flagging if oats are a personal trigger. It's a small NoHo counter, best for grab-and-go.
The almond cookie is the award-winner, crunchy outside and chewy in the middle, though Manhattan tends to vote chocolate chip. The real insider order is the gluten-free oat challah on a Friday.
Helene Godin walked away from 22 years as a lawyer to build this. The oat challah sells hundreds of loaves every Friday, it's 57% oat flour, and she developed it with a rabbi so it qualifies for the Hamotzi blessing. The bakery says every baked good is gluten-free and dairy-free; it uses tree nuts and other allergens, so check the ingredient guide if you need more than gluten and dairy coverage.
GF Bagels & Bread · 472 Columbus Ave · Upper West Side
100% gluten-free kitchen
An Ancient Grain bagel, kettle-boiled the real way, with the scallion cream cheese. One reviewer who ate his way through 202 NYC bagel shops ranked this the third-best bagel in the whole city, gluten or not. The black-and-white cookie and the babka are the other reasons people cross the park.
Orly Gottesman built the gluten-free flour blend herself after her husband was diagnosed celiac, then opened the shop. The entire place is gluten-free and nut-free (and kosher), so the full menu starts from a dedicated setup. Go on a weekend morning and freeze a dozen for later.
French Bakery · 1260 Madison Ave · Upper East Side
100% gluten-free kitchen
Start with Noglu's current best sellers: lemon pie, éclairs, muffins, donuts, cream puffs, and blueberry scones. The menu also includes viennoiserie, special-occasion cakes, and savory lunch.
Noglu calls its Madison Avenue French patisserie and café 100% gluten-free and identifies plant-based and dairy-free options. The official pages do not publish separate-fryer, staff-training, or named facility-certification details.
Cakes & Donuts · 483 Columbus Ave · Upper West Side
100% gluten-free kitchen
The funfetti or Tall Dark & Handsome celebration cakes, loaded cake pops, salted caramel bars, brownies, cookies, and apple pie. Order a full cake ahead; individual treats are available from the current shop selection.
Posh Pop says every recipe uses wheat-free and gluten-free ingredients and describes strict procedures to prevent gluten exposure. Its products are not certified allergen-free, and the facility is not nut-free or peanut-free. There is a separate Times Square bakery at 315 West 39th Street.
Italian Bakery & Cafe · 171 Sullivan St · Greenwich Village
100% gluten-free kitchen
Start with a cream or Nutella bombolone, cinnamon roll, custard éclair, or fresh baguette from the current bakery menu. The brunch menu adds handmade pasta, panini, pancakes, and French toast.
Senza Gluten by Jemiko describes this Greenwich Village cafe and bakery as a 100% gluten-free environment. The current menu publishes item-level ingredients and flags dairy, eggs, soy, corn, and nuts, so check the listing for needs beyond gluten.
Cookies, cakes, and pastries that happen to be vegan and refined-sugar-free too. The cookies are the headline, and the case comes from the same dedicated gluten-free kitchen.
Everything here is 100% gluten-free and made with organic gluten-free flours, and it's vegan on top of that, so it covers the room where someone is both celiac and dairy-free. It's a Gowanus bakeshop, so treat it as a destination stop.
