Gluten-Free in Upper East Side

Gelato and ice cream in rice-flour cones, ice cream sandwiches, and a toasted-marshmallow hot chocolate with a small cult following. Get a cone you can actually hold, cone and all.

The dessert sister to Noglu up the block, entirely gluten-free, so the cones are as safe as the scoop. For a celiac kid who has never had a real ice cream cone, this is the one. It's a small Carnegie Hill counter, open afternoons into the evening.

French bakery done entirely gluten-free: croissants, a proper chocolate tart, quiche, and a sit-down brunch. The chocolate tart and the bagels are the standouts.

Noglu started in Paris and brought its 100% gluten-free French baking to the Upper East Side, a bi-level café where the whole case and kitchen are safe. About a third of the menu is dairy-free too. It's the rare spot where a celiac orders a croissant without thinking twice.
