Whether you’re avoiding gluten due to health issues like celiac disease or your body is simply sensitive to gluten, finding safe gluten-free options can be challenging. We’re making it easy to dine out at the Burg while keeping gluten away.
As always, be sure to inform your server of any food allergies and sensitivities you may have. Here are some of our favorite places in St. Pete with gluten-free options:
Adieu Glu, online only
Adieu Glu is an amazing new country kitchen in sunny St. Pete. Owner Deb Cooper is serving 100% gluten-free baguettes, bagels, cupcakes, and great cookies.
The dedicated gluten-free concept operates directly from the kitchen of owner and baker Deb Cooper. Cooper was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2004 and stopped eating bread for 12 years.
The chocolate chip cookies are gigantic and so good. But the sourdough baguette is a must-try for anyone in Sunshine City. Everything is freshly made. Treat yourself to a cupcake while you make it, the frosting makes it look like a real flower.

Ciccio Cali, 190 37th Ave N, Saint Petersburg
Ciccio Cali St. Pete is serving California-inspired gluten-free bowls. They have a variety of menu items that are gluten-free, filling, healthy, and satisfying.

Noble bark
Noble bark, 8300 4th St. N, Saint Petersburg
Noble Crust uses seasonal southern ingredients to create an Italian meal you won’t want to miss. We recommend their infamous Noble Pig pizza (pepperoni, sweet fennel sausage, spicy soppressata, pickled peppers, caramelized onions, ketchup, fontina, parmesan, and an egg, all on top of a GF crust). If you don’t want to be so daring, Margherita pizza in a GF crust is always a classic.

Karma Juice Bar + Eatery, 209 1st St NE, Saint Petersburg
While Karma is well known for its vibrant açai smoothies, juices, and bowls, it also has some extra GF gems hidden up its sleeve. Not only are their salads delicious and fresh, the serving sizes in the bowls are more than satisfying! The Avocado Mint Salad and the Asian Chicken Salad (use Tamari instead of soy sauce in the ginger dressing) are our two must-haves. They also have GF bread if you have a craving for avocado toast that you need to fill up.
Cassis
Cassis, 170 Beach Drive, Saint Petersburg
The American Brasserie, located on Beach Drive, offers a wide selection of GF options on each of its menus. Passing by for brunch?

A staple in the Burg community, Casita Taqueria is one of the easiest places to eat for a person sensitive to GF. Corn tortillas serve as the base for each of their tasty tacos and almost all of their meats are gluten-free. We always go big or go home with a tray of four delicious tacos.

Our new favorite gluten-free restaurant is Dr. BBQ. All of their meats are gluten-friendly and everything you can eat is clearly labeled on their menu (20+ items!).
