Fort Wayne, Indiana, counts 3 verified addresses, 3 fully dedicated kitchens. No mixed table, so no negotiating when ordering — and an ideal split: one address for a meal, one for bread, one for dessert. Two of the three opened or relocated in 2025, the city is filling in fast.
The city in numbers
The meal and the bread
BIBIBOP Asian Grill, 4968 East Dupont Road, opened June 4, 2025. The chain’s entire bibimbap bowl menu is certified gluten-free by the GIG, the Gluten Intolerance Group, under the “Validated Gluten-Free Safe Spot” label — the strongest claim on this list, because it rests on an external audit rather than the house’s word alone. The official announcement, local press (WANE, Whatzup), Yelp and gluten.org agree.
Good Bread, 1016 Broadway downtown, is a gluten-free and vegan bakery opened in March 2025 by Sarah Thompson: Parisian-inspired pastries, breads, pies and cakes, all 100% gluten-free. Several local news reports (21Alive, WANE 15), the official site, Facebook and a Yelp listing current through July 2026 confirm it. This is the address for bread, the thing that doesn’t exist in a mixed kitchen.
Dessert
Moo-Over, 6380 West Jefferson Boulevard, makes ice cream and desserts that are entirely house-made, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and peanut-free. The shop, founded by Julie Hurd, recently expanded by moving to West Jefferson Boulevard. Sources — WANE 15, 21Alive, the Fort Wayne Business Journal, Yelp — confirm the move, the status as the only 100% vegan, gluten-free ice cream shop in Indiana, and preparation on site with no shared equipment: that detail removes the usual weak point of an ice cream shop, cross-contamination.
Our tips on site
- Say “I have celiac disease” rather than “I’m gluten-free”: the first phrase is heard as a medical constraint.
- Look for the GIG label. The Gluten Intolerance Group is the American body that certifies establishments; BIBIBOP claims it. Our article on AFDIAG, AIC, FACE certifications explains what a label really guarantees, and what it doesn’t cover.
- Three areas, three trips: Dupont Road to the north, Broadway downtown, West Jefferson Boulevard to the west. None of these addresses can be strung together on foot.
- Beyond Celiac is the other American reference association for patient information. For the rest of the country, see our guide to gluten-free travel in the USA.
