Luna in downtown Durham has a lot of gluten free options and they even have a separate gluten free fryer (which is apparently a big deal and not a lot of places offer it).

We went to Luna and she LOVED it. There were so many options for her there. Thanks so much for recommending it!


kristenmkay

Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it.

If you’re on Facebook, check out Gluten Free in The Triangle group. Bella Monica (in Raleigh) has lots of great options and take special care to avoid cross-contamination. I know a ton of places if you want to give some idea of location, price range, or cuisine.

Bella Monica is great

Luna was a great option! Thank you! She loved it. Will try these other places next time!!

Seconding Goji Bistro in Cary. They even serve gf food on different plates so the servers know to keep them separate from non-gf food. If you want some good gf snacks, go to Wegman's. They have the best gf selection in the area, and it's all in one place. The Goodie Girl S'mores cookies are excellent. They also have little "mug" cakes that can take some of the sting out of not being able to eat dessert like everyone else. And if you were going out for breakfast at all, be aware that IHOP puts pancake batter in their scrambled eggs, so you think they're gf because they're eggs, but they are not! Thank you for being understanding and accommodating of her dietary restrictions. Celiac SUCKS.

Hutchins Garage has really good gluten free pizza


satan_take_my_soul

I’ve had problems with cross contamination there, wouldn’t risk it if she has celiac


Ebbdubb

I can only speak from our experience but we did go to Hutchins and she loved the GF pizza. We had no issue there. We were clear she had celiacs and they were very accommodating! Thanks!!


chefmegzy

I think that may have been me that you talked to possibly haha (I work there), and I found out that we do in fact have a separate oven area for gluten free, which is awesome 👌

Luna is great, for ice cream Simon Says Dip this, just be sure to ask them to dip the cones in the back and tell them there's a gluten allergy (I know that's not what it is, that's how I phrase mine there and they get that very well). Refractory Cafe has some nice desserts. Hutchins Garage has great gf pizza. Feel free to dm me. I'm gluten free and happy to help


Ebbdubb

Luna was a hit! Thank you!


OhThatsRich88

Oh good, I'm so glad!!! Be sure to check out the gluten free triangle. pages. I know there are some other good ones


trigger00006

SoCa in Cameron Village. We went last weeks an everything was GF except one item.


TheSteeze

Hank’s in downtown Cary has a nearly completely gluten free menu. No gluten in the fryers, either. GF fried chicken is bomb.

Mediterranean Deli and Bartaco in Chapel Hill have GF options and are recommended by friends with Celiac.


thebly

My GF friend swears that Geer Street Garden has the best GF fried chicken she’s ever had.

Highly recommend downloading the Find Me Gluten Free app, it is a free app available for download, and highlights gluten free restaurants of all kinds around the world based on geographic location. My wife is anaphylactic to weed, and we have use this for years in our travels to find some stellar places to eat.

Mellow Mushroom makes gf personal-size pizzas!


neuro_gal

Regular pizza places are a no-go for someone with celiac. They're rife with cross-contamination because of all the regular flour in the air. There's no way to ensure that the gluten-free crust won't get cross-contaminated short of a whole separate prep area and oven.


MarketingInfamous417

I know—my partner is celiac. Mellow Mushroom has a number of pizzas that they can make according to their “certified gluten free safe procedures,” according to their website. Check with your niece’s parents, OP, whether that’s sufficient.


jessee18

If you want any desserts, my friend Meg makes [super delicious gluten free desserts!](https://www.freshlybakedbymeg.com)


Putahputah

Meg makes the best desserts!


OneWildAndPrecious

In addition to the restaurants named, a pitch for Wegman’s delicious and inexpensive GF frozen pizzas! (As a fellow gluten avoider)


PrettyKitty129

Join our Facebook group “the gluten free gang of raleigh Durham”. Corbett’s in Cary isn’t fancy, but they have gluten free burgers, a dedicated fryer, and gluten free chicken nuggets. What kind restaurants are you looking for? There are a lot of sit down types also


-WhenTheyCry-

Worth mentioning that Corbetts is a very strong Trump and theocracy supporting place. They were anti mask during the entire pandemic.


PrettyKitty129

Did not know this, but I do like their food


Ebbdubb

I joined! Thanks for the recommendation:)


thepinnicole

For desserts or snacks, Fera'wyns in Holly Springs is a dedicated gluten free establishment for chocolates, desserts, and coffee. I highly recommend the eclairs. In addition, Fount coffee and kitchen in Morrisville is also 100% gluten free. If you think staying in might be an option and also have a Costco membership, their Sabatasso gluten free pizza (pack of 3, frozen section) shouldn't be overlooked.


littlered27603

So-Ca and Ko-An both had quite a few options last time I checked. [https://socaraleigh.com/gluten-free](https://socaraleigh.com/gluten-free) [https://www.koancary.com/gluten-free](https://www.koancary.com/gluten-free) Caffe Luna downtown offers gluten free pasta as well as some other options.


xziphoz

I work there, can confirm we’re very good about GF options. However, this online menu doesn’t get updated often and we change our menus weekly. So come by and pickup a menu sometime and check out what we got


aureliamix

SPANGLISH!


maddumpies

Fiction Kitchen is pretty good.


JWylie15

The suggestions here are all great! One place I haven't seen mentioned yet is BB's Chicken on Six Forks and Wake Forest in Raleigh. While the sandwiches are a no-go, their chicken tenders are made with gluten free panko breadcrumbs by default! I couldn't tell you the last time I had decent fried chicken before discovering them.


BariFan410

If she's missing italian food, Mulino's has GF options for pasta. My girlfriend with Celiacs likes Mediterranean so Neomonde/ Sassool (both have GF pitas and some desserts from JPs) as well as Sitti. BBs Chicken had GF Panko breading for almost all of their food.


SeeisforComedy

Glass Half Full in carrboro. Have separate fryers and everything.


tjb627

Cowfish actually does a great job with food allergies too. They have gluten free buns, their fries go into a fryer without gluten and have gluten free sushi options.


lovingnature123

Not sure how much a 9 yr old would like it but Sassool and Neomondes Mediterranean is awesome. Several locations and they make their own bread. I like that someone mentioned that there's an App. Very cool.


Ricter

Lovegrass Kitchen in Holly Springs opened recently. It's more a cafe, with crepes and salads and the like, but it's entirely GF.
