Gluten Free Bakery Nashville: Dedicated GF Bakeries for Celiacs (2026)

Nashville is a biscuit city, which makes a good gluten-free bakery even more valuable here. The good news is that the Nashville area has several bakeries where nothing contains gluten, including one with a third-party gluten-free certification and lines out the door before it opens.

Here are the gluten-free bakeries in Nashville, which ones are fully dedicated, and how to plan around their short hours.

Dedicated gluten-free bakeries in Nashville

Gluten Free Goose, A Bakery

6601 Sugar Valley Dr, Suite 115, South Nashville. The most trusted gluten-free bakery in Nashville. It’s certified 100% gluten free by the Gluten-Free Food Program, a certification endorsed by the National Celiac Association. Cinnamon rolls, cookies, cakes, doughnuts, muffins, and rustic loaves, with a new menu announced every week.

Hours: Recent listings show Wednesday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., but the bakery’s own website lists different hours, and it sometimes closes for a few weeks at a time. Check its Facebook page before you go. Get there early: reviewers report lines forming before opening and popular items selling out.

Chetzel’s Bakehouse

99 Seaboard Ln, Brentwood. A gluten-free and grain-free bakery that opened in 2024, south of the city near Franklin. It’s named for the Chetzel, owner Karina DeAlmeida’s cheese-based soft pretzel. There are also cookies, cakes, bread, empanadas, and quiche, with keto, paleo, and vegan options.

Sunflower Bakehouse

2414 Lebanon Pike, Donelson. A vegan restaurant and bakery where all the baked goods are gluten free, from sandwich bread to cupcakes to pizza rolls. One thing to know: the kitchen does bring in regular wheat bread for some sandwich orders, kept in separate containers. The bakery side is the fully gluten-free part, so stick to the baked goods if you’re very sensitive.

Order-ahead and coffee-shop bakers

• Morsel makes vegan pastries that are “always gluten-free.” It doesn’t have its own storefront. Its website lists Nashville coffee shops, including Crema and Elegy Coffee, as places to find it.
• The Cookie Patch is a home bakery on the west side of Nashville, reported to be dedicated gluten free, with coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, scones, cookies, and cupcakes. Order ahead through its Instagram.

Shared bakeries with gluten-free options

Caviar & Bananas has a large gluten-free selection, including croissants and pastries. The gluten-free items sit in the same case as regular baked goods, though, so it’s not the right choice if you’re highly sensitive.

Tips for gluten-free bakeries in Nashville

Plan around mornings. Gluten Free Goose closes at 1 p.m. and sells out earlier. Make it your first stop of the day.

Follow the bakeries on social media. Weekly menus, sold-out notices, and temporary closures show up on Facebook and Instagram before anywhere else.

Biscuits and hot chicken are a different story. For where to eat the rest of the day, including the honest truth about hot chicken, see our Nashville gluten-free restaurant guide.
