Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Virginia

Marie Leilani

The best brunch for gluten free

S Smith

Great place for seafood and Gluten Free dining. We went for dinner and lunch both. The servers were fun and personable but they can be a little slow. It's worth it though. The food was great and there are numerous GF options.

Kathryn Boyle

Excellent gluten free options including gluten free bread! Every time I’ve gone the food has been good quality with great service.

Nicholas Turner

Wonderful gluten free bakery with great breakfast sandwiches, and lunch! If you're in the area and you have Celiac, I highly recommend checking it out!

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.

Awesome food, owner and atmosphere! So nice to see a dedicated GF/Celiac venue. Every time I'm in town I will revisit.

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.

Jane Hedgecock

The best place to get delicious vegan an gluten free baked goods in Tidewater!

Maria Bliznetsova

One of my absolute favourite to go places for breakfast/lunch! I tried almost everything on the menu and quality of food is excellent! Everyone can find something, they have vegan and gluten free options too. But for me, Huevos Rancheros, Summer Cod, Cobb Salad and peach pie are top choices! New location in Arlington also has a big garage parking and easy access as well.

Laura Horsting

Delicious, Authentic, celiac safe, relaxing, good prices, pleasant service.

Virginia Mom

Never a bad meal here! Worth the wait.. Had three meals since March. Food is always fresh and servers are very friendly. My daughter has celiac and always feels safe eating here. Our Mother’s day lunch was delicious!

Lindsay Walter

A gluten-free paradise! 99% of their offerings are gluten free and they take everything very seriously. On top of that, the food is DELICIOUS, even my non-gf friends were impressed.

Gina Wiley

I ordered a cake for my daughter’s baby shower. Shanna was terrific! I sent her a photo of our art style, and let her do her thing. The finished result was literally a work of art. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was delicious, moist and fluffy. We chose two flavors, mocha and vanilla. The fondant was perfect. Several of our guests commented that though they had never liked fondant before, they loved this. No one could believe it was all gluten free. Corbin’s is pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Elaine Gawronska

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.

Patrick Boyle

Gluten free pancakes tasted like cardboard. Eggs were tasteless. Had diarrhea later in the day. Terrible.

Sarah Graves

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!

L Miller

Lots of healthy options. I tried their sausage biscuit and Cyprus side salad. The biscuit was good but the salad was stellar! So fresh and delicious. The dressing so light and flavorful. They had lots of gluten free and vegan options. Enjoyed the inside, very warm and inviting.

Sara Kelly

My gluten free family was so happy to find a new gluten free bakery in our travels. Delicious treats (especially the pepperoni rolls) and great prices. We have found our new spot to visit every time we are in the area. 😋 Hopefully next time we can dine in and enjoy the awesome ambience of the restaurant.

Lisa Rodriguez

So many great options for those that can only have gluten-free and one of the best butternut squash soups I've ever had.

Christine Gault

Gluten free bakery

Victor Bieniek

I especially appreciate that they offer gluten free options of many classic Chinese dishes. This is my go-to restaurant for Chinese.

David M

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.

AE Dallam

Typical pancake house atmosphere. That said, the food is awesome, the staff is lovely, and they have a gluten-free menu for those that would like that. Will definitely return.

Allison Harris

Nowhere compares to the quality. Both gluten free and dairy free options, and they don’t pack a ton of sugar in anything where it’s hard to eat. I’ve never ordered something that made me feel bad or give me any sugar rushes. Big fan of this place.

Michael Redlich

My wife and I visited this restaurant for lunch when we arrived in Smithfield, VA. On their menu, there were multiple instances of gluten free options. After we were seated, we told the waitress about my wife being celiac. She immediately told us that, despite having gluten free options, they cannot guarantee there won't any cross-contamination as their kitchen is *not* properly equipped. This was indeed very disappointing. To play it safe, my wife ordered the Greek Salad. However, the salad was dressed with iceberg lettuce instead of the spring mix as advertised. The Club Deluxe and soup that I ordered were delicious. My proposal to management is to *explicitly* state on their menu that cross-contamination is a possibility. We certainly appreciated that the waitress mentioned this to us before we ordered. Of course, adapting their kitchen to provide a gluten free environment would be a preferred option.

Spicee Poet

I was really excited to try this spot and was a little disappointed. Great and extensive menu with gluten-free, vegan, and healthy options. I ordered the pancake combo, and my pancakes were undercooked. They were perfectly brown on the outside, but the inside wasn't cooked through enough. My server was friendly and the restaurants decor matches it's name.

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!

Emily Wilson

I haven’t been to Silver diner in a couple of years. I was hoping it was still as good as it was I was blown away. I ordered an egg white omelette with spinach, mushrooms, and turkey bacon. It was beautifully prepared and very delicious. I also got the gluten-free quinoa, coconut pancakes. This is such a treat for me since hardly anywhere else has gluten-free pancakes! They were beyond delicious as well. The service was stellar, very attentive and friendly and to top it off the coffee was strong and tasted great-

Chris Berry

This place has some positives, but my experience overall was disappointing. The atmosphere was nice, with a spacious bar area and a great beer selection that supports local breweries, which I really appreciated. However, the food and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The French dip was a letdown – dry, with an odd choice of American cheese instead of the usual provolone or Swiss, and while mushrooms were included, which I know some places do, they’re not my preference. Overall, the sandwich just wasn’t good. The potato skins were also subpar, barely a 2 out of 5. On the other hand, the mac and cheese was pretty good, and my kid enjoyed it. There were some cleanliness issues. I found a small fleck of lint or hair on my cup, and I noticed the bartender using her bare hands to pick a lemon seed off the side of a glass while making water for another guest. These details were off-putting and made me feel a bit skeeved. While they do offer gluten-free options and a great beer selection, the food quality, service, and overall experience weren’t quite worth the price.

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.

Jason Miller

They offer delicious Celiac options and take care to avoid cross contamination. Thank you for a great experience!

Kaylee B (KB)

10/10, this is one of my favorite restaurants to go to, I have Celiac so finding gluten free options are hard but they even have a gluten free menu with plenty of delicious options! I've had 2 different burgers and pizza as well as their lava cake and all were absolutely divine.

Sandy Hinden

Great flexible eating offering lots of gluten free options. Turkey burger was dry but flavorful. Glazed salmon was fantastic. Pork buns were rich, smokey, spiced and delicious.

Sharon Baker

This place is great for the body and spirit. The vegan and gluten free foods are delicious and natural. I had the Fountain of Youth smoothie, a powerful ginger shot, and a lemon raspberry muffin for the road. Just an overall great place!

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!

Jared D

Amazing gluten free waffles. And some GOOOOOOD Pumpkin Spice lattes, too!

Bill Shafer

Great practice, with lots of gluten-free options 12–21

Dan

I recently stopped in with a member of the family with Celiac. First and most important, he didn’t end up in the ER due to food contamination. I had the blackened mahi mahi which was wonderful. The green beans were especially fresh and full of flavor. The bar selection was great and I appreciate the local brews. I look forward to visiting again. Thanks!

J. Danielle

One of my favorite places! If you are a picky eater, a person who likes to customize their order, or have dietary restrictions - Then come to Not Your Average Joe's!! I am SLOWLY transitioning to gluten free diet and I love the options here. Even the gluten free rolls are amazing...hands down the best I've had- and gluten free bread is hard to enjoy. I really like the Haddock and my kids love the pizza, cheese is always in abundance and gooey!

Stacey Vann

My husband and I got our wedding cake and cupcakes done through Pearl's, and we are so happy with how everything turned out! We had a complimentary tasting a few months before. We had gluten-free and vegan guests, and Pearl's was able to make cupcakes for those needs which was really important to us. They worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend!

Alyson Cochrane

A friend and I were on a girl's trip to the area, and we are so glad we went to Mill Street Grill. Hannah was our server, and she was SO delightful. I have to eat gluten free, and she was able to make recommendations to help my meal be delicious but also safe for me. My friend got the prime rib, and she said it was tied for the best prime rib she's ever had. This is a place to keep on the list to visit!

Shelby Highsmith

Very good fried chicken & waffle breakfast, flavorful even though it's two thin breast cutlets rather than thigh meat, and the gravy & more savory zesty syrup were also very tasty! Mixed review from the kid on the gluten free coconut quinoa pancakes. They were out of black tea, disappointing. Even though we were the sixth party of two in line, they got us seated fast.

Karen Jackson

Gluten free accommodating

Pat Franklin

Great service, coffee and food. No wait time on Saturday morning. Impressive. Food was fresh and delicious. Like that they have gluten free options

Jena Van

The tacos were delicious and the service was good. The menu had clear gluten free options and a lot of them too. The tacos are more expensive than average, around $5 each, but worth it because of how tasty they are. I would recommend this place.

Roark Perry

Fantastic Fish. I had gluten-free breaded fish that was lighter and better than any breaded fish i have ever had. My wife has celiac and was able to have a great meal that was gluten-free and safe from cross-contamination.
