Here’s our exclusive guide on how to order gluten-free at the Skinny Pancake.

Buckwheat Crepe Batter Options

One of our favorite options to offer gluten-free customers is our delicious buckwheat crepe batter. Substitute our traditional batter for buckwheat to enjoy a vegan and gluten-free meal. Our batter is hearty and boasts a delicious, nutty flavor. The buckwheat flavor complements both sweet and savory fillings. Build your own gluten-free crepe by customizing it with our available toppings.

Gluten-Free Buns

We also have handheld options for our gluten-free customers. All sandwiches, including burgers, are available with the option to swap the bun for a gluten-free alternative. You can inform your server when ordering that you’d like a gluten-free bun replacement. We have black bean patties and beef patties that are both naturally gluten-free and will pair perfectly with our hearty gluten-free buns. You can pair it with a gluten-free side, such as a salad or roasted potatoes.

Gluten-Free Friendly Menu Items

You can find a variety of gluten-free items at The Skinny Pancake. While some of the items require a few minor tweaks, you can find items that are naturally gluten-free as well. Here are a few items to order at any of our locations:

• Lumberjack: Packed with ham, Cabot cheddar, and caramelized onions, you can order this option after swapping for a buckwheat crepe shell.
• Thai Salad: Made with fresh greens, veggies, and sesame seeds, you can request a gluten-free dressing option on the side.
• Early Riser: Wake up with an egg and cheese sandwich in a buckwheat crepe.
• Sweet crepes with fruit, peanut butter, or dark chocolate are an option if a buckwheat shell is requested.
