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.

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.

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

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!

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

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!

Savory, sweet, vegan, gluten-free, all or none of the above. Fluffy, filling waffles in every imaginable configuration! We came in just barely ahead of the noontime crowd. Expect to wait if the restaurant is full; it’s worth it!

Went for a late lunch after visiting the Childrens Museum. The burgers were phenomenal, very tasty beef and homemade gluten free buns. Duck fat fries were an extra special treat. Topped it all off with milkshakes.

JUSTINA

Great specialty store with many gluten- free and vegan options! The produce is grown locally and is super fresh. Their juice bar is an added bonus as well.

I loved the atmosphere and it was honestly the absolute best gluten-free pizza I have ever had! It is a little pricey but so worth it!

Minglewood Bakery offers a delicious selection of scones and cookies that are soy, dairy and gluten-free (!!!) in addition to their other vegan baked goods. Most bakeries just throw too much sugar or other sweeteners in to make up for the fact that there is no diary or gluten. But Minglewood actually balances the taste experience, nothing is overly sweet, and you can experience the other flavors. The textures are also great (which if you are gluten-free, you know it's hard to get good chewy textures without being overly dry). The Raspberry Jam cookies are wonderful. And my husband, who is not vegan and has no allergies, didn't even realize he was eating vegan deviled eggs and chicken salad. It was so tasty and the textures were close to real chicken salad. Minglewood Bakery is my happy place. You won't be sorry you stopped by.

Organic ingredients bring it to the next level. Great vegan/vegetarian/gluten free options. Friendly staff.

The staff were very welcoming and allowed samples of the flavors. They were able to make a cup of late night coffee. There are plenty of vegan, dairy free, and gluten-free flavors. The space is super clean and decorated well for the holidays. They had holiday plants for sale. Great space and will return again.

Christina Driscoll

We had a large group come in and they handled it well! Food came quickly and order was correct. We even had a gluten free person whose order was correct! Definitely recommend!

Jorge Juarez

Went for Easter brunch. Service was attentive, food was great and reasonably priced for a fancy buffet. Would love at least one dairy-free and gluten-free option for dessert. Will definitely go back!!

Had high hopes. Were off to an amazing start with gluten free bread! That's not a common option so I was thrilled but that was the peak of the meal. As for the rest of the food..meh. Ordered the the thai lettuce wraps for the app and it wasn't terrible but we wished we skipped it. My parnter and I both ordered risotto, I got the shrimp and scallop while he got the short rib risotto. The rice in mine had no flavor what so ever with the shrimp and scallops cooked to death while the short ribs version was better, it was very one note but edible. While we waited for ages for our server to return we just decided to just share the short rib. When the server finally returned she informed us that his wasn't gluten free even though his dish was also on the gf menu. I wouldn't have ate it if I had known that and if the server would have checked in on us before. She was gone for a long time after the food got dropped off. We left upset and won't be back. Who knows if it was an off night but I can't justify coming here again. Also, the server said since it was our first time here she would let us try the wine before we ordered a bottle of it but never mentioned the sample had a charge. Not a great surprise on the bill after an upsetting experience here.

Even though they have a gluten free pizza this establishment is not at all celiac safe. The GF pizzas were put on the same pizza trays as gluten pizza. Even after disclosing my allergy they used the same sauce spoon from regular pizza on mine. Changed gloves only after me specifying to do so. Be wary if you have a gluten allergy. Also be aware that there is no seating available. The staff were very friendly, just not food allergy aware.

As someone who has a gluten allergy it’s hard to find quick food options but I had a great experience at this location of &Pizza. Abbie assisted me when my friend and I went in. I asked her for gluten free crust and as soon as I told her that, she asked if it was an allergy, I said yes and she proceeded to change her glove and wipe her pizza station to ensure I was not exposed to gluten. I was very appreciative of that! Very good customer service at this location!

Elise Ledon

Absolutely love this place! It’s quickly become my favorite cafe to cowork in. The staff is super friendly, the vibes are cozy, the food is comforting (they’re fantastic with gluten free people like me), the internet’s fast, and they obviously care a lot about the community. They even have a rack of coats available for people who need them and hot meals for anyone who’s hungry and can’t afford it. Totally the type of place we should be supporting!

Got a gluten free pizza delivered through Grubhub and the pizza came burnt with all black edges.
