Jung District · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The café is described on HappyCow as fully gluten-free, a claim supported by multiple sources. No gluten-containing ingredients are used, which makes the venue safe for coeliac diners. Staff are allergy-aware and can accommodate modifications.

Sunnyhouse

Mapo-gu · · €⁠€

Sunnyhouse is a well-known gluten-free café in Seoul, with the owner herself being coeliac and the kitchen having a dedicated waffle iron and fryer. Most baked goods are gluten-free, and menu items like waffles, bagels, and cupcakes are popular with coeliac visitors. The venue has, however, recently stopped labeling itself as fully dedicated gluten-free, and the owner now offers some 'low gluten' products. Cross-contamination risk is possible, especially for those with high sensitivity. Current practices should be confirmed directly with the owner before visiting.

Sky Gimbap

Jongno District · Korean · €⁠€

Separate gluten-free menu, owner is knowledgeable about coeliac and asks directly, uses separate pots and cleans preparation space. Kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items (no dedicated kitchen or fryer). Cross-contamination risk is present. Multiple coeliac diners report no reaction after eating.

Vegetus

Yongsan District · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Vegetus is a vegan restaurant whose menu marks many dishes as gluten-free. Multiple reviews confirm that the staff understand coeliac needs and can guide choices. The kitchen is shared. Three appetiser items on the delivery menu carry a 'Not 100% gluten free, cross contamination' warning. One tester reported gluten in a burrito bowl. The venue acknowledges cross-contact risk and is not a dedicated facility. Coeliac diners should confirm their specific dish's safety with staff.

Buddha's Belly Itaewon

Yongsan District · Thai · €⁠€

Has a separate gluten-free menu and a dedicated fryer for GF items, with staff trained to use different plates for gluten-free orders. The kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free, so some cross-contamination risk remains. Several celiac diners report positive experiences, including recognition of travel celiac cards.

café interact

논현1동 Gangnam District · · €⁠€

Multiple community sources on FindMeGlutenFree and HappyCow widely report café interact as a dedicated gluten-free bakery. Several user reviews state that the facility is completely gluten-free and uses certified gluten-free flours. The kitchen practice details are thin, with no staff-training information, no mention of a dedicated fryer or separate prep area, and no formal accreditation from Coeliac Korea or an international body. The aggregator pages themselves carry a 'reported to be' disclaimer. The signal is strong enough for a 'Reliable' tier but falls short of A or A+ without an official accreditation or a verifiable venue-owned source describing the kitchen setup.

Plant Cafe Seoul (Itaewon)

Yongsan District · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Menu items are clearly marked gluten-free and staff are reported as trained, but the kitchen is shared so cross-contamination is possible. Those with strict coeliac needs should confirm with staff.

Little Gangster

용문동 Yongsan District · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Several sources mention gluten-free options: a reviewer notes that gluten-free items are clearly labelled on the menu, and a blog states the restaurant specialises in entirely gluten-free dishes. However, no information is available about dedicated fryers, separate prep areas, or staff training for coeliac safety. The kitchen is shared with other ingredients, so cross-contamination risk is unconfirmed. Call ahead to discuss your needs.

nageunae

Yeongdeungpo District · · €⁠€

Community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree report this as a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, with GF menu items including soup, noodles, pancakes, and meatballs. One review mentions a dedicated fryer. The claim rests entirely on user-reported information, with no official accreditation or venue-owned documentation, so practice should be verified directly with the kitchen before eating if highly sensitive.

Plant Cafe Seoul (Yeonnam)

Mapo-gu · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Gluten-free options are available, and the menu clearly labels these items. Because the kitchen is shared, some risk of cross-contamination exists; no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer has been confirmed. Staff are reported to have received allergen safety training.
