Top 13 Gluten-Free Spots for Bread Lovers in Richmond

Steelspark

Overpriced, low end of mediocre food served quickly in a blandly functional atmosphere reminiscent of a generic hotel breakfast lounge. Went here for breakfast. The food was... Not great. For a place called Biscuits and Waffles, we expected the biscuits and waffles to be pretty good. We were disappointed. My waffle was merely bland and spongy, soaking up the maple syrup cup without really changing the flavor. Inoffensive, but not exactly bad. The bacon I had with it was a bit overcooked, but again, inoffensive. My friend's biscuit and egg, however, was apparently rather unpleasant*. It was basically dry bread that tasted like too much baking soda in a vague biscuit shape. The egg was all right, nothing special. *Apparently their biscuits are gluten free, so maybe that's just what those are like. I don't know. All in all, it's far from the worst breakfast I've ever had, but I've also had much better at the same price point.

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.

SO MANY GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS!!! I adore Pinky’s they have a very up beat and fun vibe to them but also some I impeccable food with a large variety of options! I’ve been enjoying their brunch for years but I recently went for dinner with a girl friend of mine and to no shock their dinner menu is just as perfect as their brunch!

Thank you for offering gluten-free pizza🙏

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.

Richmond staple, such good sandwiches, wonderful art and gluten free collection. I love the window seat.

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.

Absolutely fantastic!! The drinks were delicious and dangerous (in a good way)! Gluten free options everywhere! Housemate pickles were scrumptious! The wait staff looked happy to be there and excited about the food.

12/10. This place is phenomenal. The food and service were both top notch. Also, lucky for me they have A LOT of gluten free options, for those who have allergies or sensitivities to gluten. I figured they would have at least a few options but according to our server, either the owner or the head chef has celiac so they try to incorporate several gluten free options for guests. So we ordered the fried broccolette, the seven hills 16 oz ribeye, and the Greg’s catch of the day. The broccolette might not sound that interesting but it was actually super delicious and 10 times better than we thought it would be. We only ordered after our server (i think her name is Kat) recommended it. The ribeye was really good on its own, but the Greg’s catch was the pride and joy of the evening. I didn’t know what panisse was before this evening and now I know it’s one of my favorite food items. It was paired with a trout/salmon like fish and it had a sauce spread all around it too. That dish would be my recommendation to anyone. Our server, Kat, explained a lot to us and was super helpful with recommendations. Definitely coming back.

Our waiter Badhan was very nice and helpful. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and he helped me find items on the menu that were safe to eat and made sure there was no cross contamination. Excellent service!

Nature’s Art

I got the classic station2 burger!! Gluten free bun!! It was really good. The bun was sooo soft and delicious. The burger was thick so it could’ve used a lot more seasoning. The chili was okay, there were too many beans in my opinion and I wish they gave me more cheese to add in it but it was still pretty good. yummy! I wish they had a dedicated gluten free fryer because I would’ve been able to get fries here instead of somewhere else.

Myself and my party had a wonderful brunch. We were celebrating a successful bridal dress pick and engagement. Our waitress Sophie was lovely. Drinks and good was overall tasty. I was glad my vegan and gluten intolerant friends were able to find food they enjoyed. One of the shrimp dishes had a sauce that needed more body, but overall it was a good experience. Definitely would come again!

My partner is a vegetarian and I prefer to avoid meat where I can, so we're always on the lookout for spots that cater to the veggie crowd more than just having one or two vegetarian options that are lackluster in comparison to the rest of the menu. And this place was absolutely perfect; at no point did we feel like the quality or flavour was sacrificed in the process of making the meal vegetarian or vegan. I got the "chicken" salad sandwich (on a gluten free wrap) with a side of butternut squash soup, and my partner got the Gyro sandwich with a side of potato salad; we were both more than satisfied. The gluten free wrap was also very tasty in its own right and not too dry or crumbly. We're definitely going to be coming back sometime soon, but I'll have to really push myself to try something new instead of getting that amazing chicken salad wrap again; it was just that good.

My friend and I met here for lunch before touring Richmond and we liked it so much we had dinner before heading home! I loved being able to eat a gluten-free sandwich and it was amazingly delicious! Definitely a great place to eat!

Charity Pearson

I'm dairy free and gluten free. Lots of options. Staff and GM were super patient and accommodating to help me find safe options.

Ruby W

Fantastic, amazing, best deli sandwich I've ever had. So delicious, the bread wasso good, they have a good gluten free option, and the meat is fantastic.

Food rating is for my wife's gluten-free sub, as this is one of the few places to offer that option. Staff was friendly and sandwich was put together quickly; checkout was quick. It's a chain sandwich shop, so can't really call the mediocre atmosphere score a miss. Sandwich price is a little high, but again, one of the few options available for GF.

Manager went out of his way to make sure my meal was gluten free.!

Jimi Birkitt

Have a friend who's gluten-free, they now have scharr sub rolls here!

Cara Kinning

A wonderful place for bagels, breakfast, coffee, and meeting friends to catch up. I hadn't been here in years because I'm gluten intolerant, but I decided to take a pill and have a bagel and "shmear" (as they call it) anyway, and it was worth it. They have a great variety of bagels, although I do miss the cinnamon crunch flavor I used to get here. It was phenomenal. I didn't sit out on the patio since it was 97° out, but on nice days, that's always a pleasure.

Jessica Martin

We love Apollo's pizza! My personal favorite is any of their white sauce pizzas. We've gotten their gluten free crust as well and were told by our friend that it was the best gluten free pizza she has ever had!

EXPENSIVE. They nickel and dime you...but I still wanted to try bc I'm gluten free and they are the only fast food place in Richmond area that has a greasy, fatty, almost no meat fast food burger on gluten free bread lol. I went for the experience. There are no combos and the food is not packed to go in a form that will be hot when you get home, not 5 min away or to chester. Milkshake was good, huge serving. Chicken bites are extremely over priced. 4 nuggets is $5, a fry (small is only size) with cheese was $7, my shake was $7. My burger was $11, my husband's regular, smaller burger was $7. Cool whip for shale and Pickles on his burger and sauce on side of fries and gluten free bun (this is normal) was all extra. If you like wilted lettuce instead of bread on your hot cheeseburger, also extra. I did really like how they packed allergies items separately and labeled and it was pointed out. I'd eat here again but I can't afford to do it often.

Take and bake. Best gluten free pizza hands down in Richmond.

Ella Bandy

Good quality fast casual food. Love the lettuce wraps because they're gluten free. Nice, clean store. Helpful staff. An overall quick, yummy quality experience.

Nicola Hansen

We ordered an iced Chai latte with oatmilk, an everything bagel with cream cheese, cappuccino and a gluten free lemon poppyseed muffin. It was all delicious! As a GF person, I loved the warm delicious muffin!! There are so many great options, all freshly made on site. Definitely recommend!

H TN

Not only are they quick and make my orders perfectly, but I told them my bf is allergic to gluten, and they did a glove change! Great service. Love this place.

Adriana Brown

Nice friendly place. The two stars are for a lack of options for a gluten free diet as well as a lack of interest in trying to accommodate someone with special needs. The food may be great but all I felt safe getting was water. The server at the window seemed to think gluten free and vegan were the same thing. So, gf customers, beware!
