The Best Gluten-Free Catering in NYC for Celiac Events (2026)

For celiac-focused catering in New York City, start with Modern Bread & Bagel for breakfast platters, Springbone or Impact Kitchen for office meals, TAP for Brazilian stations, By the Way Bakery for custom cakes, and Sans Bakery for dessert trays. Each featured business runs a gluten-free kitchen, bakery, or production facility and offers a current catering, large-order, or event pathway. Minimums, lead times, delivery areas, and other-allergen needs still vary, so confirm the final order directly before the event.

Checked by Sansglu

Every featured business has current first-party evidence for both its gluten-free operation and its catering, large-order, or event service. We do not infer certification or allergen controls that a source does not publish. Last checked September 2026. Read how Sansglu evaluates restaurant safety signals.

Fast-casual & cafés

Springbone Kitchen, Greenwich Village Safety 951

1. Springbone Kitchen

90 W 3rd St · Greenwich Village
100% gluten-free kitchen

Choose individual bowls for a working lunch or family-style trays for a buffet. The catering menu centers on roasted chicken, grass-fed steak, vegetables, rice, sauces, and broth by the box.

Springbone says every catering dish is gluten-free. It delivers across all five boroughs and northern New Jersey, with orders due by noon the day before. The kitchen uses nuts, dairy, sesame, soy, and other allergens, so send those needs with the order.

1123 Broadway · NoMad
100% gluten-free kitchen

Use individual bowls for smaller teams or family-style platters for a buffet. The menu covers chicken, steak, salmon, vegan and vegetarian choices, plus dairy-free and paleo options.

Impact describes its NYC kitchen and menu as gluten-free, but says it is not gluten-free certified. Catering needs 24 hours, or three business days for family-style platters, with delivery across NYC. The kitchen handles nuts and several other allergens.

472 Columbus Ave · Upper West Side
100% gluten-free kitchen

Build breakfast around kettle-boiled bagels, smoked salmon, cream cheese, side salads, fruit, and pastries. The menu also offers sandwich, dinner, Shabbat, and shiva packages.

Modern says its facility is 100% gluten-free and celiac-safe. The published catering menu needs 24 hours and starts most platters at six to eight servings. Delivery costs extra. Confirm the serving count and location when ordering because NYC menus vary by shop.

By the Way Bakery, Upper West Side Safety 955

5. By the Way Bakery

2440 Broadway · Upper West Side
100% gluten-free kitchen · separate fryer

Use the custom-cake team for birthdays and the wedding coordinator for tiered cakes. Layer cakes, cupcakes, cookies, muffins, scones, and bread cover smaller dessert tables.

By the Way says its commissary is a dedicated gluten-free facility and every baked good is dairy-free. Custom cakes need at least 72 hours; simpler personalized cakes have a 48-hour path. The bakery uses tree nuts and other allergens, so review the ingredient guide.

Gluten-free in New York, answered

What are the best gluten-free catering options in NYC for celiac guests?

Modern Bread & Bagel, Springbone, Impact Kitchen, TAP, By the Way Bakery, and Sans Bakery each publish a gluten-free kitchen or facility claim plus a current catering, large-order, or event path. Choose based on meal format, delivery area, lead time, and other allergens.

Which NYC gluten-free caterer is best for an office breakfast?

Modern Bread & Bagel is the direct breakfast choice for bagel, smoked-salmon, spread, fruit, and pastry platters. Its catering menu requires advance notice and offers pickup or paid delivery.

Where can I order a gluten-free birthday or wedding cake in NYC?

By the Way Bakery offers custom birthday cakes and a wedding coordinator from its dedicated gluten-free, dairy-free commissary. Sans Bakery accepts cake, cupcake, platter, and large-order catering requests from its GFCO-certified production bakery.

Can I get vegan and dairy-free gluten-free catering in NYC?

Impact Kitchen publishes vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, and paleo catering options. By the Way Bakery makes every baked good dairy-free. TAP, Springbone, Modern Bread & Bagel, and Sans Bakery offer some vegan or dairy-free choices, but not every item qualifies.

How far ahead should I order gluten-free catering in NYC?

Published lead times range from noon the day before at Springbone to 72 hours at TAP and for By the Way custom cakes. Impact needs 24 hours, or three business days for family-style platters. Confirm timing directly because holidays and large events need more notice.

Checked, not on the list
  • TLK-Tigerlily Kitchen: Its official site offers gluten-free catering, but it does not clearly state that the entire facility is gluten-free. We left it off until the dedicated setup is documented.
  • Senza Gluten by Jemiko: Its Hell's Kitchen restaurant offers on-site private events. The current page does not publish a drop-off or delivered catering service, so it does not answer this guide's catering scope.
  • Rezdora: It can accommodate gluten-free diners, but it is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. A catered order from a shared pasta kitchen does not meet this shortlist's evidence bar.
