We dare you to tell the difference between our Gluten Free and Gluten Full food!

Beautiful & Delicious

At The St. James Tearoom, we are proud to serve our entire menu in gluten-free form. Each recipe on our menu is translated into a gluten-free version that maintains the flavorful and unique character of each sumptuous morsel. It is important to us to bring you the best-tasting gluten-free menu that we can, for every menu theme of the year. We have seen tears of joy in our guests’ eyes when they realize they can enjoy a full teatime that’s gluten-free. It means a lot to so many, and so it means a lot to us.


A full teatime just for you!

Your gluten-free menu will be served on its own three-tiered tray, presented and tasting just as lovely as our regular menu. Regardless of what the other guests at the table have ordered for their meal (regular menu, vegetarian menu, etc.), you can still have the gluten-free menu that you need, kept separate from the other gluten food. Are you the guest of honor? The St. James Tearoom is the perfect place to celebrate with the most delicious gluten-free menu in town!


For those of our guests with extreme health issues related to gluten, please note that our gluten-free menu is still prepared in a kitchen where gluten is in use. If you have questions or concerns, please call us at (505) 242-3752.
