First of all—absolutely adorable place! Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, this spot is a win. The people are some of the friendliest you’ll ever meet. And the best part? Everything—yes, everything—is 100% gluten-free. From appetizers to desserts, and it all tastes flipping amazing! Portion sizes range from generous to large, prices are spot-on, and the flavors? Out. Of. This. World. Whether you’re celiac or just appreciate incredible food, this is a must-visit. Bonus: they also offer dairy-free options, so everyone at the table is covered!Q

They were stellar from the moment we walked in. They had my mind at ease immediately assuring me they don’t even bring gluten into the building. The food was amazing it felt like a 5 star dining experience. The whole menu being gluten free and without worries of cross contamination it was a fantastic experience with food and service. I will be returning for all of my events worth celebrating. Not to mention a full side menu of mocktails 😊

Noah Steege

Not Celiac safe. Went there for lunch yesterday and my wife got glutened by cross contamination.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Strange Hood

Great authentic Korean food. And it’s gluten free🤍. The place is super clean and there’s great customer service. Will definitely visit this place again. Thank you Rossy and team.

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!

Tara Ward

I'm in love with this place! As a Celiac, it's SO nice to find excellent food that caters strictly for us and that it's nearby.

Danyale Kellogg

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about celiac disease. We enjoyed the food and had lots of great leftovers.

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.

K. Ry (K-Ry)

As always, my gluten free vegan pizza was fantastic!!

stella evans

Their gluten free chicken was excellent. The service was outstanding. John Paul went above and beyond to take care of us. We will definitely be back.

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.

Karen Jackson

Gluten free

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.

Michelle Marcet

BEST options for gluten free and dairy free. Sam the sever was very respectful of my allergies and it was truly appreciated.

sharon wolfe

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

Sanskriti Kant

This cafe is located in Reston near the lake having beautiful view. The ambience is pretty Greek and happy. You can order food from there and enjoy either inside or outside with the beautiful lake view. The pizza was brick oven cooked and was so tasty. They used fresh mozzarella. They have vegan and gluten friendly options too. The staff it’s so friendly. We also had panini that came with chips and pickled cucumber. Its was also nice. They have spicy sauce ketchup and other seasoning too you can use

Joe Brognano

Good gluten free pizza

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!

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!!!

Elyssa

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

Nikki Rooksby

Vegan, nut-free, and soy-free with gluten free and wheat options. Excellent cupcakes, oatmeal pies, and scones.

I am a practicing gastroenterology physician in Richmond. I took my family to this restaurant, explained to the server three times that I have a gluten allergy and placed an order for a gluten free pizza The server appears to have acknowledged and recognized this and reported that she has family members who have a gluten allergy as well. Despite this, she incorrectly placed the order for a pizza for me with a gluten containing crust. Only after I had consumed as substantial amount of this item, did she then return and informed my family members that this was a gluten containing pizza. I asked to speak with the manager. While waiting to speak with the manager, another patron at the restaurant who had overheard the discussion reported to me that a similar situation had happened with him. I explained this to the manager who was completely unfazed. After a brief back-and-forth discussion with the manager, I noted to her that the servers attention to detail was negligent. I asked to speak with the owner. I received no call from the owner. I’m giving this place one out of five stars mainly on the basis of what appears to have been an inadequate response to a negligent server

Ariane Volk

Delicious Thai street food & all the classics. Also high end cocktails. Highly recommend! Excellent gluten free options, as well as vegetarian options, and clearly marked.

George Fletcher

I was super excited to find Gloria’s while traveling up I-81. The pupusas were fantastic as were the chips and salsa. As someone who eats gluten free (I’m not celiac) the majority of the menu is naturally gluten free (a huge plus). They do have signs that the kitchen is shared so cross contamination may be an issue for some. I look forward to the next time I’m in or near Staunton and can stop in again :)

Sheena Ethington

Our waiter Garrett was absolutely fabulous ! Provided professional outstanding service. He was personable, funny and made my birthday dinner with family extra special. Felt like we made a new friend. Tyrek the kitchen manager was also very pleasant to chat with. The food was delicious and so enjoyable ! With great prices. Also appreciated the gluten free options. This is definitely one of our favorite places ! Thank you for helping us make a sweet birthday memory

Dan Shevock

Great gluten free options.

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!

Steve R

Gluten free pizza was great. Price is on the high side.

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!

Linda Zaffram

Bruhhhhhh!!! Let me TELL YOU ABOUT THIS FRIED CHICKEN!! IT WAS GLUTEN FREE!! Seriously so.damn.good!! It's been on my list to try especially since they had gluten free options. The fact that it is actually real fried chicken is a BLESSING! The seasoned fries were YUM too. Big portion sizes as well. And the RANCH.... Made me want to slap my mama! It was so DELICIOUS 😋 Definitely give this place a go! My son didn't like his regular spicy sandwich but my daughter and I who have celiacs say YES! DEFINITELY EAT HERE! We will be back for girls night <3

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!

Cindy CC

3 of us had dined at Flower Child about 2 years ago. We enjoyed our lunch here again. Long queue to order but once ordered our food came out fast. Drinks & cutlery self service. We all enjoyed our dishes. I had the Mother Earth Bowl & added chicken. One friend had chopped vegetable salad 🥗 & added salmon. Another friend had the chicken enchiladas. We shared lemon 🍋 oil cupcake 🧁 which is gluten free. We also had mango sencha green iced tea 🥤

shaun s

Always consistent and have great gluten free options!!

Jennifer Aufdenberg

Pretty much anything can be made gluten-free, so it's 5 stars from that alone

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.

Hagar Sivan

The food was very tasty. However, I have celiac and despite ordering a gluten free dish and informing the waiter of my allergy, I got sick and believe my food had some cross contamination.

Don Houpt

Love us some Bartaco! Wonderful attentive staff, great drinks, and great food. Had their roasted duck and sesame ribeye taco's for lunch. Loved it so much I went back for dinner; got chicken tortilla soup, and the pork belly and roasted duck tacos. Best damn taco's outside of Texas... Oh, and the reposado margarita's are frickin' awesome. Yes, they have strict gluten-free options as well, one of our guests has celiac disease so that is a big concern.

Heather Bodenhamer

I am a regular Korean BBQ eater. Maybe it's not entirely fair to compare Japanese BBQ to Korean, I know different countries entirely, however, being in Northern Virginia it is hard not to compare a similar concept to KBBQ. The atmosphere is great, the meat was delicious, the sides lacked any flavor because they were just regular veggies (corn, not cheese corn, zucchini and cremini mushrooms), it came with a salad and miso that were flavorful. We ordered the value meal for 2 people with one cocktail $14 and a diet coke the total was $106, after tipping 22% I spent $130.. The meat was perfectly marinated and the quality was high, however the portions were insanely SMALL. I left hungry and wishing I went to Kbbq instead but it was an experience. I also noticed all the marinades and sauces were sweet- the sauces on the table were Ponzu, Sweet Soy Sauce and a Spicy Sauce that was also sweet, I found myself wishing for a more savory sauce to balance out all the sweetness. Our server was super friendly and attentive. For example I had taken the lemon from my gfs cocktail and put it in my diet coke, our server noticed and without me saying anything brought me a refill diet coke with a lemon (this didn't go unnoticed!). I personally don't see myself coming back but glad I gave it a try. Oh and I will add that everything we ordered was gluten and dairy free naturally so that was a huge plus.

Great food and service! There are a great variety of menu items for those who need gluten free and dairy free choices! It was hard to select from them, but we went with the burgers and ribs, with french fries - both the potato and sweet potato. Both were excellent, and the ribs were some of the best! The service was great also, and the server was very knowledgeable about the menu and gluten free options for us. We would highly recommend them!

Carrie K

Run do NOT walk to Anna B’s for the oatmeal cream pie! It has become my favorite sweet treat. Do not let the gluten free part of this bakery fool you if you aren’t gluten free. You would never know the difference. The bakery is perfectly decorated and is so cozy. Always clean and fresh. A true hidden gem that needs everyone to know it exists!
