Top 8 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Carytown, Richmond

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.

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.

Fun Creperie in Richmond. When you get to the building you have to walk up the stairs and the door opens up to a main floor. The hallway you face looks like a little town. The hostess will greet you and ask what your seating prefer. They have the option of outdoor seating, there is also an upstairs floor. They have a lot of options for crepes, including nin crepe items. There are cocktails and hot drinks. I also noticed a kids menu, vegetarian and gluten free options. This trip is my first here and I ordered two crepes a savory and sweet. The savory one was the Carbonara crepe. This crepe looked fancy and tasted rich. The crepes are packed full. Personally I found it a bit too rich or salty, not sure if it was the pesto adding to an already cheesy chicken bacon filled crepe. The sweet crepe I ordered was the Tirimisu. The tirimisu crepe was decadent and delicious and very filling. Overall it was a great experience. I did find their hours a little later (most Creperies I have come across are open in the morning). At the time of this review they opened at 11 am on Saturday.

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.

The breakfast burrito looked small for the price but still a decent size. It started out good, but it overwhelmingly tasted like refried beans. it’s supposed to have “Lentil rosemary sausage, tofu scramble, hash brown patty, black beans, baby spinach, Shredded cheddar and tv sauce” So i think the lentil sausage basically tasted/ has the texture of refried beans, which is fine just not what I expected. I did not taste cheese and only got some of the good sauce in the very last bite of the burrito. We liked the gluten free biscuits but gravy was bland. I would maybe go back if I could get the burrito without sausage and filled with more tofu scramble.

I want to start by saying I have been to this restaurant before and have had MUCH different experiences. My rating is based on this experience. We ordered wine and two of the artichoke appetizers. The bottle we ordered was mid priced, they were out of it and we were immediately pitched the most expensive bottle only to find out our server hadn’t even tried it. We went with a different bottle after that. We had 2 very serious allergies celiac (gluten) and dairy. Both appetizers came out with cheese, our server didn’t come back fifteen minutes after they arrived so someone went up to the bar and said something. It took 20 more minutes to receive a new plate without apology. When we got our check we were charged for THREE appetizers rather than TWO. When we said something the server said “well you ate them didn’t you?” The plates were never removed from our table, while two people had allergies no one else did. We left one of the appetizers with cheese untouched and only assumed we should eat them when the new appetizer was brought to the table and no one removed the old ones (so we ate the rest even though it was cold). Overall one of the worst Richmond experiences I’ve ever had. Before we left we were told they “offer happy hour”.
