Whether you’re looking for quick grab-and-go bites, indulgent treats, or an unforgettable seafood feast, there are plenty of delicious spots that cater to gluten-free diners. As someone who navigates the gluten-free scene regularly, here are my personal favorites!
Fun Places for Treats & Coffee
Holy Donut – A must for anyone visiting Maine! They make gluten-free baked goods, including their famous Maine potato donuts. Simply the best!
Boulangerie – The best bakery around, with excellent “low gluten” options. Likely not safe for celiacs, but my daughter and I eat here without issue. The brownies are insane.
Goose Rocks Dairy – The best ice cream around! It’s cash-only, and they offer gluten-free flavors.
Mornings in Paris – If you’re in town and need coffee and gluten-free baked goods, this is a solid choice.
Rosella
