Early dinner on a weekday. Restaurant was largely empty but began to fill up after we finished our meal. Really nice seating and bar area. Hostess was friendly and helpful. Service was very good and she was able to provide a lot of information regarding the gluten free menu items. The gluten free menu is pretty extensive which was great! Had the cheese steak spring rolls which were absolutely delicious! Crab cake and fish sandwich were enjoyable. Dessert was upside down pineapple cake which we really liked as well. Drinks were also made well - we had the espresso martini which we would definitely order again! The only issue we encountered was the bathroom soap dispenser was broken so we couldn't wash our hands. That was a little frustrating but they helped resolve the situation. I would definitely return again to try more menu items!

Shannon Rodgers

Great options but took sooooo long for them to make it despite us being the only people in the restaurant.

Melissa Johnson

As someone with a gluten allergy I am grateful to have a food stop where I don’t have to worry about anything on the menu. Been multiple times and everything is fresh and consistently good.

Michael McCartney

This is the only safe place to eat if you have any sort of allergy or intolerance to gluten. There is never any cross-contamination and the food is always absolutely delicious. The brownies and cinnamon roll cake are my favorite but you can't forget the paninis. Ms Donna is kind and will take care of you no matter what

Samantha Baxter

Some of the best vegan sweets I've had. The donuts are phenomenal and the gluten free brownies are particularly amazing. Highly recommend for vegan and gluten-free desserts if you're in the area!

Katelyn Neumann

I appreciate having a bakery in this area that makes gluten-free foods. However, most of the items I've ordered have been disappointing and not worth the high cost. The biscuits are too dense, dry, and salty. The everything bagels are tough and salty. I wouldn't order either again. The cupcakes are okay. I do love the chocolate croissant, though. Get it heated. It is sweet, chocolately, and delightful. I will order it again. Please note this is not somewhere you can sit and eat. There is room for about 2-3 customers to enter, order, and exit.

Maria Bliznetsova

One of my absolute favourite to go places for breakfast/lunch! I tried almost everything on the menu and quality of food is excellent! Everyone can find something, they have vegan and gluten free options too. But for me, Huevos Rancheros, Summer Cod, Cobb Salad and peach pie are top choices! New location in Arlington also has a big garage parking and easy access as well.

Pete G

We left about ten minutes ago. Eric was our server and I can’t put into words how phenomenal his service was. He knew the ins and outs of the main and gluten free menu and he checked on us often but not too much. Eric’s demeanor was kind and welcoming and service is exactly what we all imagine when we say “They don’t make them like this anymore.” Excellent experience.

Kari Jackson

Always looked like a fun place when I drove by and finally went a few weeks ago with friends for dinner. It was amazing. Our waitress, Brenda, was incredibly kind and helpful. She talked us through the menu and made great recommendations. We all ended up getting the grilled arepa llanera- a delicious combo of avocado, steak and cheese with a sauce. We also tried different sides- I had the tequenos which were sooo good. For beverages - they had a great happy hour and we got $7 blackberry sangria that was a perfect addition. I think we all enjoyed it. But I will say our overall favorite was their green garlic sauce. They need to bottle it- its that good! Also- almost EVERYTHING was gluten free! Overall it was a great experience. Will definitely go again!

Krystalyn Weaver

Disappointed. Hangry Burger has been a staple for us but quality has taken a turn. Maybe there’s new management? About 3 times out of 4 our order is wrong or something is missing. This time the sides all tasted like they were sitting out for hours and my burger was so greasy that the bun was inedible. Really sad because I loved having a great option for gluten free takeout. But when a fast casual meal for two adults and a toddler is over $50, quality needs to be more consistent.

Mac Cafurello

Talk about a wonderful place. Originally my first time going to this store was 2 pick up cupcakes that were both gluten and dairy free. I was then told to go in the mornings to see what treats that had out. I have gone twice now and will most certainly be returning. Not only is the treats super delicious (my favorite being the Cinnaminis), but the staff is super friendly and kind. They don’t hesitate to answer your questions and can tell they are putting fourth there best effort into their work. Highly recommend, i’ll be back!

Elaine Gawronska

Had to wait a few minutes to get seated as they were busy. Obviously popular so that's good. Lots of gluten free and vegan options which were clearly marked on the menu and much appreciated. The food was delicious and the staff helpful and friendly.

Lauren Miller-Mazzant

The food was just as amazing as the service! Everything was delicious, and I had the best French toast I’ve ever tasted. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Gluten free options were also available here!

Tish Baird

my wallet will be taking a hit. the menu is right up my alley for taste. the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. you can see partly in to the kitchen. well worth the visit.

lindsey packard

The food was really really good, I got the fried chicken, the crab cakes and we got the chocolate cake. They were all gluten free and delicious. The building though was so old, and it smelled awful, was very dusty and was a bit hard to breath because it was so musky. I’ve been to some restaurants that were in older buildings and none of them have been like that. Then our service was really bad also. So food-5 stars, atmosphere-1 star service-1 star. There is outdoor seating so maybe it’s worth it to sit outside and eat in the fresh air. They had a ton of gluten free options though.

L Miller

Lots of healthy options. I tried their sausage biscuit and Cyprus side salad. The biscuit was good but the salad was stellar! So fresh and delicious. The dressing so light and flavorful. They had lots of gluten free and vegan options. Enjoyed the inside, very warm and inviting.

Sara Kelly

My gluten free family was so happy to find a new gluten free bakery in our travels. Delicious treats (especially the pepperoni rolls) and great prices. We have found our new spot to visit every time we are in the area. 😋 Hopefully next time we can dine in and enjoy the awesome ambience of the restaurant.

Affirmation Ally

Honey & Ivy is more than a gluten-free bakery—it’s a soul-soothing experience. The moment you walk through the door, you’re met with calm energy, intentional design, and the kind of community-centered care that makes you want to stay awhile. I recently had the honor of hosting an Affirm & Align gathering in their space, and it was the perfect environment to foster reflection, connection, and soft conversation. They not only welcomed us, but held space for us—and that’s something you don’t find everywhere. Their gluten-free offerings are thoughtful and delicious, but the heart behind this business is what truly sets it apart. Supporting Honey & Ivy means supporting local makers, healers, and visionaries, and I’m so grateful they’ve made room for brands like mine to feel at home. Highly recommend for a treat, a pause, or a place to land. 💛

Kelsea Watson

This place was so good we came back the next day because we couldn’t stop thinking about it. I have celiac and the celiac waffle was incredible. My husband loved the paffles! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. Definitely going to be a tradition on our next trips to Charlottesville!

Johnny T

Our waitress was Frances. She was very charismatic and very knowledgeable about gluten free foods. My wife has celiac disease and this her greatest concern when it comes to trying a new food location. It was an amazing experience!

Victor Bieniek

I especially appreciate that they offer gluten free options of many classic Chinese dishes. This is my go-to restaurant for Chinese.

Alexis Taylor

We got our wedding cake here and it was phenomenal! I have a ton of allergies, wheat and dairy being my biggest triggers. Finding a vegan gluten free wedding cake that still tasted good was really important to me. WPA Bakery nailed it. It was beautiful and delicious!

sharon wolfe

Had a fish meal with pomegranate and Quinoa on the Gluten free menu and it was amazing!

Michael Redlich

My wife and I visited this restaurant for lunch when we arrived in Smithfield, VA. On their menu, there were multiple instances of gluten free options. After we were seated, we told the waitress about my wife being celiac. She immediately told us that, despite having gluten free options, they cannot guarantee there won't any cross-contamination as their kitchen is *not* properly equipped. This was indeed very disappointing. To play it safe, my wife ordered the Greek Salad. However, the salad was dressed with iceberg lettuce instead of the spring mix as advertised. The Club Deluxe and soup that I ordered were delicious. My proposal to management is to *explicitly* state on their menu that cross-contamination is a possibility. We certainly appreciated that the waitress mentioned this to us before we ordered. Of course, adapting their kitchen to provide a gluten free environment would be a preferred option.

Spicee Poet

I was really excited to try this spot and was a little disappointed. Great and extensive menu with gluten-free, vegan, and healthy options. I ordered the pancake combo, and my pancakes were undercooked. They were perfectly brown on the outside, but the inside wasn't cooked through enough. My server was friendly and the restaurants decor matches it's name.

Brandy Pollard

We have been to the bakery twice now and bought the bakery items from Good Foods Grocery and Elwood and Thompson. We have had the take and bake cinnamon rolls, brownies, cupcakes, and more! Today we tried the strawberry shortcake and it was really good! The cupcakes are my daughter’s favorite. I have a soy allergy and gluten intolerance. My daughter has peanut, most tree nuts , and egg allergies. It’s so nice to be able to walk in and be able to let her have a choice. Thank you!

Elenwin L

They have Gluten Free fried chicken and also GF Fish & Chips. What more can I say? Yum!

Kendal Davis

It is hard to put into words how much I love and respect this place. Everything I've had from here is amazing. The first time I popped in was over a year ago- I legit was almost in tears eating a cinnamon roll. And The chicken pie :,) to die for. Even iced coffee is somehow taken to another level- and it was VEGAN! I would have never guessed any of the items I had here were gluten free OR dairy free if I had not known its a dedicated Gluten Free, Dairy Free, & Wheat free kitchen. This place deserves more recognition. I even am able to try new things that I hadn't had even in my years before I was unable to eat gluten- like today I had a sample of minced fruit pie! its like your regular fruit pie on steroids- way more flavor. I love it!!! (Obviously I bought one lol) and also tried the Veggie pizza and Pepperoni pizzas today and they blew my socks off. Ambiance is great- calm french music, place smells amazing when you walk in. Greeted by friendly and knowledgable staff. Keep doin yo thang, guys! Thank you!!!

Jason Miller

They offer delicious Celiac options and take care to avoid cross contamination. Thank you for a great experience!

Elyssa

Favorite lunch spot for bbq. Great gluten free menu and service has always been good.

B Miles

Gonna have to rate this lower until I get a response. Ordered the asiago chicken, fries, and French onion -all gluten free with listed allergies. I didnt have the soup last night and have had severe diarrhea, bloating and gas all day. Typical from eating gluten for me and last up to 1-2 weeks. I can only assume it was in fact the Asiago chicken. I rarely eat outside of my comfort spots because of this so im gonna have to recommend you steer clear if you are Celiac, GF, or have any allergies. If you cant guarantee the surface or utensils havent been contaminated, don't use them or don't make the product. I would rather have the items docked and refunded than go through this.

Sandy Hinden

Great flexible eating offering lots of gluten free options. Turkey burger was dry but flavorful. Glazed salmon was fantastic. Pork buns were rich, smokey, spiced and delicious.

B M

Loved the food here! We ordered the Green Goddess toast and a smoothie bowl, and both tasted great. I’m gluten-sensitive, so it was refreshing to have so many options to chose from. I highly recommend!

Chelsy Amrhein

Fantastic gluten free options! Excellent food!

monica carter

The gluten free waffles and pancakes are delicious!! We also enjoy the Cobb and California salads.

Dawn L

We always stop by Blue Ridge Bagels when we are in Lynchburg. They have gluten free options, almost anything on their menu. The food and coffee is delicious!

Jared D

Amazing gluten free waffles. And some GOOOOOOD Pumpkin Spice lattes, too!

Mary Burger

Excellent cupcakes and friendly service. I follow a vegan and gluten free diet and it is amazing they have 2 types of cupcakes available everyday and you can special order many more flavors. Today they also has a vegan and gluten free brownie available which was a nice bonus. I have had different flavors over the years and all are tasty and presented nicely. I’d recommend!

shaun s

Always consistent and have great gluten free options!!

Martha Depumarejo

Visiting from NYC. A great vegetarian/vegan/gluten free option place. It’s a Black owned business that promotes books and creative arts. We started off with Brussel sprouts with Balsamic vinaigrette. It was hot and had a good taste. The latte (not pictured) was very flavorful. Gluten free pancakes had a buttermilk flavor to them but a little stiff. I had the Sweet Potato hash and it was ok, a little stiff bland for me. I would recommend this place and come back on my visit.

Ryan E

Cute little place.. gluten free blueberry muffins r on point. We were there memorial Day weekend, and you could tell employees we're not happy being there.. so, can't form a true opinion of the normal customer service. Cute outdoor patio.

Madeline Macfarlane

Phenomenal service, great local singer (Tim Branson), gluten-free food was exceptional!

Sheena Bee

Wonderful experience. They were pretty busy, and a storm was coming in, so they were in the process of moving outside parties to inside tables. Even with all of that, wait time was 10 minutes. We decided to sit at the bar. We were thrilled to see they had so many gluten-free options. I had the shrimp and crab pasta without any reaction. My fiance had the bacon, egg, and cheddar smash burger and was in pain 😢 The service and experience overall was nice. Next time, we will verify they have a dedicated space to cook. Pretty sure he was Cross contaminated.

Shelby Highsmith

Very good fried chicken & waffle breakfast, flavorful even though it's two thin breast cutlets rather than thigh meat, and the gravy & more savory zesty syrup were also very tasty! Mixed review from the kid on the gluten free coconut quinoa pancakes. They were out of black tea, disappointing. Even though we were the sixth party of two in line, they got us seated fast.

Wesley Daunis

Overall okay. The food was just average. We had a Ruben, a Chicken Caprese sandwich, and salmon dinner. I will say o was disappointed that the gluten free rolls you get for a substitution are the exact same.rolls they put a gluten free chicken sandwich on. I guess I was expectingn2 different things. I will say the service was great though and the prices were reasonable.

Alyson Cochrane

A friend and I were on a girl's trip to the area, and we are so glad we went to Mill Street Grill. Hannah was our server, and she was SO delightful. I have to eat gluten free, and she was able to make recommendations to help my meal be delicious but also safe for me. My friend got the prime rib, and she said it was tied for the best prime rib she's ever had. This is a place to keep on the list to visit!

Jena Van

The tacos were delicious and the service was good. The menu had clear gluten free options and a lot of them too. The tacos are more expensive than average, around $5 each, but worth it because of how tasty they are. I would recommend this place.

Roark Perry

Fantastic Fish. I had gluten-free breaded fish that was lighter and better than any breaded fish i have ever had. My wife has celiac and was able to have a great meal that was gluten-free and safe from cross-contamination.
