Dedicated Gluten Free Options in Charlotte

Dedicated Gluten Free #1: Sunflower Cafe

The Sunflower Cafe is a dedicated gluten free restaurant located in the Mint Hill area of Charlotte, North Carolina. They have a completely gluten free menu but the hours are limited. Check before you go!

Dedicated Gluten Free #2: Sanctuary Bistro

Sanctuary Bistro is dedicated gluten free and vegan. They are a family run business dedicated to sustainable, local, organic, dairy-free & gluten-free dining.

Dedicated Gluten Free #3: Mahana Fresh

Mahana Fresh is another dedicated gluten free restaurant which is located in the Ballantyne area. Mahana means “like the sun.” At Mahana Fresh, they believe a “good mood, brings good food.” I’d tend to agree!
