Fort Lauderdale is an easy city for a celiac: of the 4 verified addresses, 4 are fully dedicated kitchens. No mixed table, no risk flagged on any of the four listings. And they don’t resemble each other: a vegan bakery, a bagel shop, a bowl counter and a crêperie. Enough to cover breakfast, lunch and a snack without ever having to explain your condition.

The sweet side: a bakery, a bagel shop, a crêperie

Big Mike’s Healthy Choices, 1637 Southeast 17th Street, is a 100% gluten-free and vegan restaurant-bakery, run by Mike, who himself has celiac disease. Muffins, cookies, custom cakes, breads, cold-pressed juices and smoothies. The fully dedicated status is confirmed by the official site, Find Me Gluten Free, Yelp and TripAdvisor.

Bob-O’s Bagels, 115 Northwest 6th Street, hand-shapes its bagels and bakes them fresh daily in a fully dedicated kitchen. Staff are trained on celiac disease and rigorously separate equipment — a precision worth noting in a bagel shop. The official site, Find Me Gluten Free, and reviews on Facebook and Yelp agree.

Stephanie’s Crêpes, 922 North Flagler Drive in Flagler Village, serves sweet and savory crêpes that are 100% gluten-free, with no separate menu or surcharge: brisket mac and cheese, sweet-spicy Thai chicken, salmon avocado, iced crêpes, vegan smoothies and boba drinks. The 100% gluten-free batter is confirmed by the official site and by the Find Me Gluten Free listing “Dedicated Gluten-Free Creperie.” Elsewhere, a crêperie is one of the worst places for a celiac; here the same griddle only cooks gluten-free.

The quick savory option

Bolay, 1730 North Federal Highway, prepares its entire menu of composed bowls gluten-free, with dairy-free options, for dine-in, takeout or delivery. The 100% gluten-free menu is confirmed for this address by the official site, Find Me Gluten Free, Yelp and Uber Eats. It’s the quick lunch spot on the list.

Our tips on site

  • Say “I have celiac disease,” not just “gluten-free.” These four addresses don’t require it, but everything around them in town does.
  • Plan your trips. The four addresses are in four different areas — Southeast 17th Street, Northwest 6th Street, Federal Highway, Flagler Village: none connects on foot from another.
  • Two American reference associations: the GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group) and Beyond Celiac.
  • Continuing across the US? Our guide to gluten-free travel in the USA covers the rest of the country, and dedicated kitchen vs. gluten-free menu, the difference explains exactly what a dedicated kitchen guarantees.
