Blue Saucer is a cute little coffee shop/cafe sitting on the corner of 92nd and Roosevelt in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of Seattle.

Over the last year, Blue Saucer’s owner, Billie Bryan, has been testing out local gluten free desserts and baked goods by several different local vendors. Her current vendors are Dolce Lou, who provide the shop with delicious sweet breads, cakes, and now sandwich bread; Sister Souls GF Bakers, who provide mini loaves, currently lemon poppyseed, double chocolate and sour cream coffee cake; and Dancing Women Catering and Meal Delivery Service who provide delicious peanut butter cookies (these frequently sell out in a day).

If you live in the Seattle area, Blue Saucer is the kind of home-grown coffee shop that you want to spend time in. The employees and owner remember your name and what you like to drink/eat. Speaking of which, they have an expansive array of herbal and caffeinated black teas, along with coffee drinks, juices, smoothies, lunch and breakfast items – all well-made and delicious.

Blue Saucer will be participating in Maple Leaf’s Art Walk along with many other Maple Leaf businesses, including mine, maoStudios. Come down to the Maple Leaf area on May 11, 2012 from 6-9 pm to view local artists, artisans, eat food, and drinks! Our office will have jewelry from Yoj Healing Crystals and Bijoudally.

Seattle Gluten Free Restaurant: Thrive

It’s been awhile since I’ve been excited about a Seattle gluten free restaurant, but Thrive has me dancing a little two step.

One of my close friends took me to Thrive one afternoon for a healthy lunch. We both got a buddha bowl (delicious bowl with brown rice, quinoa, raw kale, nuts, mushrooms, cashew cream, dehydrated kale, buddha burger, and cucumber to name a few) and chai tea, both were absolutely delicious. Thrive has found a way to make raw kale taste amazing with the use of cashew cream, nuts, dehydrated garnish, and other yummy seasoning.

Thrive is not only a Seattle gluten free restaurant, they are also dairy free, vegan, organic, low sugar, and try to buy local produce. I’ve recently started going to Thrive when I don’t have time to make vegetable juice, a feat they perfect, served up in a completely compostable plastic cup with straw.

They have inspired me to cut out dairy for the most part and also cater to diabetics or sugar intolerant folks like me who can’t eat very much sugar at all. Thrive uses Agave nectar and other alternative sweeteners that are low on the glycemic index.

If you are looking for a healthy meal and education, Thrive is Seattle gluten free central station. I haven’t seen any use of soy either, which is a nice change for a vegan restaurant.

Cafe Piccolo: New Best Seattle Gluten Free Restaurant.

Cafe Piccolo is a sweet little Italian restaurant, nestled in a residential area of Seattle called Maple Leaf serving gourmet comfort Italian food and a new favorite of this Seattle gluten free blog!

When we first moved to the area (This gluten free girl is lucky enough to live just around the corner and work right next door) last year and tried out Cafe Piccolo they had a few Seattle gluten free options like bread, fettucine, and all the meat dishes could be made gluten free. I was still happy for they were catering to the Seattle gluten free community, but always hoped they’d bring in more.

Now they have, courtesy of a local gluten free Seattle pasta maker. Cafe Piccolo is now serving gluten free lasagna, spaghetti, ravioli, fettucines, bread, and various other gluten free meat dishes.

Randomly the night before last I was in for a meal and asked if they had made any changes to their gluten free menu (you have to ask) and they replied with enthusiasm that they have heavily upgraded it. I couldn’t believe my luck when they told me what they now offer!

The only other place in Seattle where you can get gluten free lasagna and ravioli is at Razzi’s in Greenwood. Razzi’s is a typical family style Italian restaurant (also very good), whereas Cafe Piccolo is on the gourmet side, with gourmet prices. Well worth it if you ask me. They do gluten free so well, you’d never know it was gluten free! I was supremely full by the time I left and even as I write this I’m excited to visit them again and taste their delicious food.

Thanks Cafe Piccolo for becoming one of the top gluten free Seattle restaurants!

Blue Moon Burgers
Capitol Hill
Fremont

Blue Moon Burgers is a classic burger joint, with free-range meat and gluten-free hamburger buns, courtesy of Wheatless in Seattle. They have cow, salmon, and chicken burgers. All are delicious. This is a good option when you are on the go for gluten free Seattle.

Cafe Piccolo
9400 Roosevelt Way Northeast
Seattle, WA 98115

They also do not have a gluten-free menu, you have to ask. They are a little higher-end food and offer gluten-free fettucine, eggplant parmesan, chicken dishes, and have some very interesting chic pea flour bread they make from scratch with ragu dip.

Garlic Jim’s Famous Gourmet Pizza
2400 NE 65th St
Seattle, WA 98115

Garlic Jim’s has pizza joints all over Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Colorado. They will make any flavor on their gluten-free crust! Read their gluten-free pizza reviews and decide for yourself if it’s worth a try. My favorite has to be the barbeque chicken.

Jimmy John’s
507 NE Northgate Way
Seattle, WA 98125

Jimmy John’s is the only fast food place I know of that will make you a “unwich.” Which is essentially a lettuce wrap with all the goodies inside. There have been many times where I was starving and happened to be nearby, being able to get something fast, saved my blood sugar from crashing. This is a good option when you are on the go for gluten free Seattle.

Nana’s Soup House
225 N 36th St
Seattle, WA 98103

Nana’s Soup House buys wholesale gluten free bread from Wheatless in Seattle. I have not had the pleasure of eating there, but plan on it very soon! Looks like they have GF focaccia sandwiches, wraps, soups, and salads.

Neighborhood Grills
Lake Forest Park Bar and Grill
Greenlake Bar and Grill
Eastlake Bar and Grill
Crossroads Bar and Grill

The Neighborhood Grills carry Wheatless in Seattle gluten-free hamburger buns at all of the locations above. They don’t have a gluten-free menu, so you have to ask to substitute when you order a sandwich or burger. They also carry gluten free pasta for the pasta dishes.

Portage Bay Cafe
U-District
Ballard
South Lake Union

All three locations serves several gluten-free options for breakfast in Seattle. My favorite is the yogurt, gluten-free pancakes. They are fluffy and huge, then you can top them with as much or as little fruit as you want.

RAZZiS Pizza
8523 Greenwood Ave N
Seattle, WA 98103

Formerly Romio’s Pizza and the first Romio’s in Seattle to offer a HUGE gluten-free menu. They have everything you ever wanted, focaccia sandwiches, gyros, pizza, pasta, lasagna, ravioli, spaghetti, and desserts. I will say this and I don’t know what it is, but my stomach hurts every time I eat there. Maybe it’s too much cheese or the sauce, gluten free goods never hurt my stomach, so it’s not top on my list.

Romio’s Pizza
Eastlake
Lake City
Redmond
Mountlake Terrace
Eastgate
Kirkland
Everett

Romio’s is a franchise, so some of their locations carry gluten-free options and some don’t. Above is a list of restaurants that buy wholesale from Wheatless in Seattle.

Roosevelt Alehouse
8824 Roosevelt Way NE
Seattle, WA 98115

Roosevelt Alehouse also buys from Wheatless in Seattle and offers gluten-free pizza, sandwiches, hamburgers, quesadillas, and chicken fingers. They are a step above most bar food, everything is well-prepared with fresh ingredients.

* This list is always growing and only includes restaurants I have dined at.
