Gluten Free in Home Sweet Home Seattle

We have been lucky enough to enjoy life on

the Eastside of Seattle for the last twelve years. 

Seattle is a great place to visit and live gluten free.  Here are some of our local favorites.

Gluten Free Bakeries: 

We are so lucky to have a couple of gluten free bakeries in Seattle. 

• Wheatless in Seattle , 10003 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle (206) 782-5735

Da Vinci Bakery & Café is the very first completely gluten free bakery in Seattle.   The bakery is completely wheat and gluten free, so there is no worries of contamination.  Even my non-celiac's love this place.  Everything is good.  A fun little place to go on a Saturday afternoon.

• Flying Apron 3510 Fremont Ave North, Seattle, WA (206) 442-1115

A gluten free bakery with "your good health in mind."  Baked items are made using the finest organic ingredients; whole grain wheat free flours and organic non hydrogenated oils. The Flying Apron is a wheat free, gluten free and vegan bakery.  Many of the products are alternatively sweetened as well.    In all honesty, their baked items are sometimes a little bit too healthy for my kids taste, but I enjoy them.

• Haley's Corner Bakery 10216 SE 256th St. Suite 111 Kent, WA 98030 (253) 852-4486

Next on my list to try!!

Heat and Serve Gluten Free Meals:

Savory Moment 18005 NE 68th Street Suite A-115, Redmond, WA 98052 (425) 867-1516

Wonderful Chef prepared ready to eat gluten free meals including lasagna, meatloaf's, casseroles and more.

Bakeries that sell Gluten Free Items: 

The following is a list of local bakeries that sell gluten free items, in addition to traditional wheat-based items.  Double check to confirm the gluten free status of their items, in particular the issue of cross-contamination in a bakery that prepares wheat products. 

• Cinnamon Works, Specialty Bakery 1536 Pike Place, Seattle (206) 583-0085

Not a dedicated gluten free bakery, but they do serve gluten free cookies.  The perfect place to grab a gluten free cookie after a stroll through the market.  Parents beware, the cookies are monster size.  Need help locating it - just look for the man playing the piano on the corner.  It is right next to him.

• Great Harvest Bakery, 4709 California Ave SW, Seattle  98116   (206) 935-6882

Introducing gluten free baked goods including buckwheat and brown rice breads, cookies, rolls and other items. 

• SweetCakes Bakery 128 Park Lane Kirkland, WA 98033 (425) 821 6565 

I have heard the gluten free cupcakes are fabulous. Confirm that appropriate measures are taken to ensure no cross-contamination.

Gluten Free Friendly Restaurants in the Greater Seattle Area:

Most of the fine dining restaurants in Seattle are very capable of accommodating a gluten free diet.  Just call before you go and speak to the chef or the manager of the kitchen.  I have had wonderful experiences eating at a lot of Seattle and Eastside restaurants including  Italianissimo Ristorante in Woodinville, Pomegranate in Redmond and Wild Ginger in Seattle,  Here are some that offer gluten free options on their menus.  Always inform the servers of your dietary restrictions and re-confirm that necessary steps are taken to prevent cross-contamination!! 

• Andaluca 407 Olive Way Seattle, WA 98101 (206) 382-6999

Featuring Mediterranean cuisine and an extensive gluten free menu which includes tapa, steak and more.  Located in the Mayflower Park Hotel offering a great down-town atmosphere. 

• Bison Creek Pizza and Pub 630 SW 153rd St #F, Burien, WA 98166-2260
  

Now serving Gluten Free Pizza.

• Cafe Flora, 2901 E Madison St, Seattle (206) 325-9100

A local favorite.  The restaurant is vegetarian, but the food tastes so good you will hardly realize that the restaurant is vegetarian.  Items that are gluten free are marked on the menu.  Go on a nice afternoon and eat on the inside patio.  It is really lovely.

• Garlic Jim's

The self-proclaimed first gourmet carry and delivery pizza chain.  After conferring with the Gluten Intolerance Group in Seattle, it is now serving gluten free pizza at almost all of its chains in Washington and Oregon.  The pizza taste wonderful.

• Great Northwest Soup Company

Menu designates Gluten Free soups.

• Lombardi's 2200 N.W. Market St 609, Seattle, WA 98107
  206 783 0055 and 695 N.W. Gilman Blvd 15136 Issaquah, WA 98027 425.391.9097

A neighborhood Italian Restaurant with a gluten free menu that includes bruschetta with gluten free crackers veal marsala. 

• Maggianos Little Italy, 10455 Ne 8th St, Bellevue 

Offering gluten free corn pasta.  The Chef will come out and help design a meal that meets all of your dietary requirements.  Unfortunately, we were "glutenized" here when they cooked our pasta in the same water they used for wheat pasta.  Make sure you ask for the Chef and are very clear about your gluten free needs. 

• Outback Steakhouse

Several locations on the Eastside.  Very knowledgeable and offers good food in a family friendly atmosphere.  My daughter usually sticks with a bun less burger, salad or baked potato.  Again, it is worth the trip for the desserts - The Thunder Down Under is a family favorite.

• PF Chang's  

Very knowledgeable and helpful.  It is always a fun family dinner here.  The kids like the lettuce wraps, lemon chicken and street noodles.  The best comes at the end with the Chocolate Dome for dessert.  A friend warned us to request a clean wok and clean oil.

Gluten free pizza, pasta, pita bread and desserts supplied by Da
