The Ultimate Guide to Singapore's Best Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, Dairy-Free, Veggie, and Vegan-Friendly Cafes & Restaurants
East Coast Commune - TGE's Favourite!
Our favourite cafe of the list! No surprise here as there is something for everyone!
The adults menu offers a wide array of brunch staples such as a breakfast platter, avo toast, to striploin and eggs. Their children's menu features hot favourites such as the petite brekkie, carbonara and even sourdough pancakes.
The space is huge and welcoming, and there's even a play area for kids with books and toys, complete with a wooden see-saw!
The best part is... They accept reservations and are most accomodating to most requests if reasonable and they always made sure to check if our children had any allergy to any food items.
After brunch, you can even bring the kids to the huge playground just right outside to burn off their energy.

The Whole Kitchen - Gluten Free, Low Sugar Bakery
With two bakery and cafés in Singapore, The Whole Kitchen offers a delightful array of allergy-friendly, nutritious, and delicious Australian food. With a focus on using natural and high-quality ingredients, The Whole Kitchen ensures that their offerings are not only allergy-friendly but also nutritious and delicious for little ones to indulge in. When you're done with your meal, you can also check out their guilt-free bakery goods such as spiced carrot cake, flavorful hot cross buns, cookies and more to takeaway for tea!
Beyond their delectable treats, we recently noticed that The Whole Kitchen also has a blog section that shares a range of topics from recipes, nutrition and to sharings from guest chefs, all in a bid to empower and educate individuals with specific dietary requirements.

Baker & Cook / Plank Pizza - Gluten-Free Paradise
With multiple locations across Singapore, Baker & Cook is a fantastic option for families seeking gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian options. Their extensive menu features gluten-free bread, pastry, and cake options that taste heavenly.
What we like is that most Baker and Cook outlets share the same space as Plank Pizza, so you can have the best of both worlds (or if the family can't agree on brunch or pizza. We know, both options are equally tempting). Plank Pizza offers sourdough pizza bases with generous toppings. Gluten-free pizza bases are also available upon request.
The warm and welcoming space, and their friendly staff, make it a fuss-free and family-friendly dining experience.

Bonus: Oslen Bakehouse - No Sugar Cakes!
Not really a cafe or restaurant as they do not have seats here except for a small coffee table at the front of the shop.
However, we wanted to give Oslen Bakehouse a special mention as they offer gluten-friendly, vegan and baby-friendly bakes! We came to know about Oslen Bakehouse when a lovely friend sent over a birthday cake for Keira on her first birthday and told us that it had no sugar or salt so that Keira could actually have her (birthday) cake and eat it! Of course, the little girl was delighted to have her first ever cake she actually finished a huge slice of it.
