Top 11 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Explore in Charlottesville

This restaurant is a real gem! I have two sons that have Celica's disease. It is very hard to find true gluten free restaurants. From the moment we stepped in, the staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about gluten-free options. The menu was extensive, with clearly labeled dishes, and we were able to create a fantastic meal. Even the dessert was a showstopper. The food was flavorful and delicious, and we left feeling satisfied and impressed. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that has Celica's Disease.

GF waffle was meh. I have celiac so I am judging in comparison to GF foods purely. The cheese had a crust on it like it was American cheese that had been overcooked and the peppers were cooked somehow such that the skin was still super tough but the meat was mush. The service was also quite slow. The savory choice didn't work out. I do not appear to have been glutened however, so a star is earned back for that.

If I could give the service zero stars, I would. I ordered through DoorDash and did not receive part of my order, which was for a coworker - a gluten free pizza (the only thing she can eat). We contacted DoorDash and they asked us to call Mellow Mushroom. I spoke to a manager who went back and forth with me regarding getting MY money back. He was rude and impatient, when at that point all I wanted was my money back for something I did not get. Maybe the Dasher kept the other pizza, but it would have made the experience better to talk to a nicer manager. I will not be returning to this location.

Gluten free buns available for any of the sandwiches!!! This is not on their menu nor did I see it posted "just had to ask". Yum! Fresh home style pulled chicken sandwich the "winner" "winner" absolutely delicious and completely unexpected. After attempting to pick it up and failing miserably I actually ate my sandwich with a knife and fork! The tortilla chips were great - not like your traditional tortilla chips. Nice and clean place with outdoor seating available. Cashier was very friendly and helpful.

I wish, I could give 10 stars to this place! The sandwiches are so delicious, the gluten-free options are a big A+, customer service is another A+, the restaurant is always cleaned and neat! I want to compliment all the guys who work at MC, they greet the customers when they arrive and leave. Something, you don’t see anymore in young people! Great job MC, keep it up! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ten starts

Loved this place! My husband and i went on valentines day and it was super busy, but they took the time to chat with us and remade our order when we accidentally ordered the wrong thing. I also had the gluten free pizza and it was actually really good. Highly recommend!! Great food, even greater service.

Love the unwich for my celiac and never have any problems! Had a slight issue finding this shop though as it's tucked in behind the building and I'm horrible with directions lol

Kimberly Knauer

Good food, some stuff came out a bit late but they had gluten free bread options so this place is good in my book.

This was such a quaint spot to stop into while browsing the Downtown Mall area of Charlottesville! It’s a little hidden and we stumbled upon it by accident, but I believe that adds to the charm of the place. It’s on the top floor so you will need to walk up steps and I didn’t see an elevator for those with mobility concerns. At the top you’re greeted by a Bedouin themed area with both table and chair seating and traditional Bedouin style seating (low tables and cushions for seats). There is also a private seating area in the back with similar Bedouin style seating and a few outdoor table/chair seats. Although it has varying tea options, there were a decent amount of food options as well. The restaurant is vegetarian with a decent number of vegan options as well. They do also have the option to add salmon to some of their dishes if you prefer meat protein. Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten Free options are labeled on the menu so no need for guessing. We ordered Blossoming Tea, the Smoked Salmon Sandwich with a side of Dahl, the Coconut Cardamon Cake, and the Vegan Spice Cake. First time trying dahl so for those who also haven’t tried it before, it’s made of lentils so tastes like a grainer porridge. We enjoyed the spice cake but found the Cardamon Teacake a tad dry. The Smoked Salmon Sandwich was wonderful. As a tea enthusiast this was a great visit, but this is also a must visit if you just want a cool place to take a break or if you want a cozy spot to eat. Will visit again if in town. pics via @nokesidefoodie

Very good 8-inch subs! Sort of pricey but the quality and size justifies it for me. (If I eat a Pueblo for lunch I don’t need to eat dinner at all.) Each one comes with a mini cookie (or peppermint patty if you’re gluten free) as a post-lunch treat which is also good. They’re very prompt with online/delivery orders and if you order for a large group their bags are labeled well. It’s definitely my go-to sandwich spot in town, and an easy rec for most people!

I was looking for a healthy breakfast after my cycle workout and this was absolute perfection. I had the avocado toast with lox (they even have gluten free options, which I had) with a smoothie. It was delightful and the ambiance is super fresh. Go experience it for yourself :-)

Quick service and good sandwiches. My husband was really happy to have gluten free options as well.

The gluten free pizza had a cardboard texture. The calamari was rub bands. The service was great. Will not be back

Food that will literally make you cry of happiness. With so much flavor, an absolutely fantastic wine selection, and such a great friendly and outgoing ambience, Fleurie is my new favorite restaurant of all time. Gluten-free choices abound too. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Highly recommended.

Eat here now!! Just find a place to park an and walk on over! Great vegetarian options, even delicious without the bread!! I was a little sad that it is all sandwiches, but the fried green tomato on greens was amazing!! So even if you're GF or reducing gluten, this is the spot. The lovely and attentive waiter informed me that they have a separate fryer for GF! So thoughtful. I'm excited to come back and try more deliciousness. I was sad to see blue grass grill close, but this is actually amazing and I'm glad they're here ♥️

Delicious hot, sizzling, fresh burgers and breakfast. We ordered sausage and gravy with eggs. Also got a gus burger no bun (gluten free gf) that was perfect. At 830 am on a school day - Monday - place was empty and got super fast service. Friendly as always.
