Top 50 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in Richmond

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!

This used to be my absolute favorite cake place in Richmond. I’ve been gone for a year and a half, came back tonight and saw the new location. The gluten free size is 1/3 what it was for the SAME price. No layers, nothing. The très leches I got was ugly, soggy and tiny. It didn’t taste too bad but I will not be coming here again.

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.

The food was good. The menu had a lot of variety and included vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. I had the Adam's. It was tasty. The rye ginger sour was 🔥. The waiter was a little pushy, then inattentive, then pushy again.

Urban Farmhouse has a lot of charm and some real potential to be a go-to spot if you’re in the area. I tried the VA bacon and egg panini, and it definitely hit the spot! The place itself is adorable — cozy with a rustic vibe and lots of little extras that make it stand out, like shelves of local wine, beer, chocolate, snacks, and even postcards. It feels like part café, part market, which adds a fun twist. There are solid food options for everyone — including gluten-free and vegan — which I really appreciate. I came here because it was close to my hotel and heard they were good about accommodating dietary restrictions. It was a bit smoky or steamy inside when I arrived, but I still managed to grab a table. Service was fine, and the space had a casual, artsy feel with local artwork on the walls. The matcha latte didn’t quite match my taste (a bit more earthy than sweet, especially if you’re used to the Starbucks version), but everything else I’ve tried so far — like the lox bagel, grilled cheese, and soups — has been on point. I think with a few tweaks this could easily be a 5-star spot, but I’m definitely coming back for lunch or a mid-morning coffee break next time I’m in Richmond.

This negative review is not about the food. The food is excellent. However, one of our party is extremely allergic to gluten and straightforwardly asked for the gluten-free version of his dish; our server failed to communicate this request to the kitchen. Either that, or the kitchen did not follow her instructions. I was nervous when I noticed she was not writing our order down on a notepad or tablet and instead attempted to memorize it. After the food came out, he asked “just in case, is this gluten free?” and the server said “yes, it is”. Only after he had finished half the crepe did she come back and say “actually, I'm so sorry, it is not gluten free”. He is now quite ill and upset, unsure as to whether this will render him very sick for the next few weeks. The dish was taken off the ticket and a gluten-free version was prepared after the fact, which was appropriate. For those who go here and require a gluten-free option, you must strenuously communicate this to your server, since it is not guaranteed that it will be communicated to (or understood by) the kitchen.

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

Joyce Drakeford

Loved it!! I have a wheat allergy and eat gluten free. HANDS DOWN the best fried fish I'd ever have. The waitress was lovely and attentive. We've been waiting for this joint to open for a few months and finally got in. Be sure to try the gf sticky toffee pudding!! It was yummy! I cant wait to go back and try the Thai menu too!!

Great gluten free options

I'm gluten, dairy and soy free. I have been getting their south lamb without cilantro sauce on a gluten free bun. I can also have their salad with house vinegarette. Their fries are fantastic and the combo of the sweet and salty in the south lamb is fantastic.

There are so many good things to eat here, and they are excellent about indicating gluten free items on the menu. Excellent service and we love the patio almost year-round. Favorites: any tamales on the specials menu, both mocktails, their ceviches, and the birria tacos (maybe my favorite birria in Richmond). The tostados de pescado are the only thing I've ever disliked there. Much saltier than necessary.

They offer gluten-free items!

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.

Is there a perfect restaurant? This is as close as I've seen. The food is incredible, the atmosphere amazing, and the entire staff was very friendly. This is a habit forming restaurant. Their gluten free menu has a wide variety of delicious items.

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!!

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at Cap Ale downtown and could not have been happier! They were super easy to work with, made accommodations for allergies/dietary restrictions, and the whole thing was super reasonably priced. And of course, all the food and drinks were delicious! My wife and I are both gluten-free and dairy-free, and we decided to not have dessert since the two options on our pre-set menu weren’t gf and df. The team at Cap Ale took it upon themselves to provide a dairy-free, gluten-free cheesecake for the two of us to share! It was amazing and really left an impression that they took the time to do this. Huge shout out to Jessica who took great care of our whole party, and to Amber who helped us with booking.

I can’t rave highly enough about the service and hospitality of Lemaire and the Jefferson hotel. We had nothing but pleasant experiences during all of our encounters with the staff. The food here is exceptional - yes it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for and it’s top quality. We stayed two nights and dined here for dinner both nights. Honestly I couldn’t choose a favorite dish because everything was so delicious. Love the Gluten Free options too - the waitstaff even brought me GF bread. Such a treat!

Reilly Monroe

This restaurant has incredible gluten and dairy free options and some of the best tasting food I have had in Richmond. Great service as well! So glad we found this spot.

Laurel Herman

A friend got me one of these gluten-free cakes , I think it was raspberry , for my 70th birthday. This was the most delicious cake I think I’ve ever eaten in my life ! unforgettable.!

John Lafferty

This place was great. I had the Devil Mess, which seems to be their signature dish. Was a good level of spice but not too hot. They also were accommodating to my wife with Celiac disease (gluten).

Senza Tempo Cane Corso

I love toast so much but this new location is even better if you can even imagine. They always have plenty of gluten-free options for me and the fried calamari was absolutely amazing. It doesn't matter what toast you go to. It's going to be fantastic but this one has some new menu options that I really enjoyed.

This place was incredible, the private space was amazing, the tasting was so well thought out, and our entire group had a blast. Bonus points: they have gluten free options.

Most expensive personal size pizza. I def don’t recommend it through a delivery service like I did. The gluten free crust was very flimsy but the taste was good. If I dined in I would pay about $15 for it and be happy. However I would appreciate more cheese. The pic makes it look like it had more but trust me it’s literally the first pizza I’ve had in life with so little cheese. I don’t think their crust can take much because it does not hold the shape when you pick it up.

Leslie Selden

Food was excellent. I had the NY Strip steak, it was perfectly done. Rice and vegetables also very good. Can order gluten free if needed. The chefs were very entertaining.

The KalelFan

It has some of the kindest staff members I have met. This is why the 3 exists. If you have severe food allergies, it is not a place for you unless you are there to enjoy bevs. I am not sure why it has been RVAs best as the food is as common as elsewhere BUT as I mentioned before, the folks make you feel like you are wanted and in a time where this is not common, it is appreciated. The salmon is not wild and cut super thick for sashimi. None of this means anything unless it is important to you, so please understand my position. People were smiling, enjoying the food, and atmosphere. For me or people allergic to sesame, gluten, and mushroom, I would recommend Carytown Sushi instead.

I can't speak highly enough about my experience ordering a custom cake from Sweet Fix. I had many requests for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary cake (gluten free, needed to travel for hours, not too sweet, etc.) and everyone at Sweet Fix was so wonderful to work with, it completely alleviated any anxiety I had about this part of the party-planning process. They anticipated my needs and asked me questions I wouldn't have even thought to ask myself. The cake was gorgeous and delicious, and it received so many compliments from guests. We surprised my parents by making it look like (a modern version of) their wedding cake from 40 years ago, and it was so well-done that they recognized that effort immediately. Our family's celebration wouldn't have been quite the same without Sweet Fix and from now on, I can't imagine using a different bakery for our special occasions! Totally worth the price and the whole experience exceeded my expectations.

Great food and the take celiac disease seriously. Happy hour margarita too

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!
