Gluten-Free Guide to Quincy, Massachusetts

by Calli McPherson, Owner of William James Gifts

Home to two American Presidents and John Hancock, Quincy, Massachusetts is a bustling city a stone’s throw from its older sibling neighbor, Boston. Quincy boasts impressive waterfront to explore, an expanding business hub and an impressive food scene.

The past six years I have been on a mission to find some of the tastiest gluten free food options in the greater Boston area. However, finding these gems in my 2nd hometown of Quincy has been a true joy. These are my 5 favorites:

FUJI AT WOC
1420 Hancock Street, Quincy

I love sushi, however, finding a Celiac safe sushi restaurant can be a challenge. FUJI at WOC constantly puts all my concerns aside. Their food is delicious and fresh and they completely understand how to make food safe for those with Celiac. I highly recommend stopping in or grabbing takeout at this great restaurant.

THE FAT CAT
1495 Hancock Street, Quincy

Gluten Free fish and chips, honestly this should be enough said but I will go on. Yes, the fish and chips is amazing but their entire menu is filled with delicious comfort food. Almost the entire menu is able to be made gluten free (and they have a dedicated gluten free fryer). The owner has family with Celiac disease so he is very aware and careful about food preparations.

CUCINA MIA CAFE & DELI
94 Washington Street, Quincy

This is my go-to spot for lunch. They have a large menu of sandwiches, breakfast items and amazing Italian classics. Now, a lot of their food is not gluten free but I mention them because what they do have gluten free, is amazing. They can make almost any sandwich or wrap gluten free, and this is what makes them one of my favorites. If you are looking for a quick and tasty lunch, this is your spot.

16C
16 Cottage Avenue, Quincy

16C is always the talk of the town, and for good reason. This popular neighborhood spot makes every item from scratch and is very knowledgeable about food allergies and safe food preparation. However, their gluten free pizza is the show stopper that keeps everyone coming back.

PEARL AND LIME
1440 Hancock Street, Quincy

I am an absolute sucker for amazing tacos and Pearl and Lime does not disappoint. This fun and electric atmosphere is the perfect place to come with friends for dinner. They have a great selection of tacos, appetizers and they have celiac safe chips. They also have a great bar if you are looking for a good spot for just a drink and appetizer.

These 5 restaurants are some of my favorite gluten free spots in Quincy but know that there are so many more. If you live in Massachusetts and have never explored Quincy, I highly recommend making it a day trip. If you are traveling to Boston, hop on the MBTA’s red line and check out all that Quincy has to offer, you will not be disappointed.
