Top 26 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots to Discover in Downtown 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.

Great alternative brunch spot! Excellent GF waffles (both sweet and savory), but GF protein choices are limited. This spot consistently makes a kick ass cup of coffee.

Legacy Solutions

Outstanding Gluten Free (GF) and nut free fried chicken sandwiches! Fries GF also! Would definitely return.

I am gluten free and dairy free (by choice) the food was amazing. The drinks were also fantastic. The bartender, I believe his name was Owen, checked on me multiple times and made a great Moscow mule. I will 100000% be coming back. For those fellow gluten free dairy free folks, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. My first google review because I would like to let my fellow allergy ridden people know this is the spot!

Joyce Drakeford

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.

Elizabeth Johnson

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.

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.

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).

Haydan Mitton

Gabe was the best!!! I have celiac and he was super careful with my food. 10/10 for Gabe!

We had a graduation/Mother’s Day celebration with a party of 7 and Audrey was very attentive and took great care of us. We had a great time and food was amazing! They were very great about helping with gluten or dairy free accommodations.

Jon Smithers

Wonderful dinner with my wife. Calamari appetizer was amazing and gluten free... steak was tender with an amazing glaze... deserts are not to be overlooked. Our server, Gradey, was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. Look forward to trying their Sunday brunch soon!

Laws Calley

This is a great Ethiopian restaurant! We really enjoyed all the food. My friend is gluten intolerant and they actually have gluten free injera! The taste is quite accurate, but they are a bit crumbly due to the lack of gluten. If you are looking for an Ethiopian restaurant in the RVA this is a must try!

Ashley Eagles

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

charlotte rector

so good and cute!! i recommend the iced chai latte, any of the croissants (especially the pimento cheese croissant) and the macarons are amazing (and gluten free!)

Alan Garcia

We had a great time dining with a friend who was visiting from out of town. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The menu had a nice variety of options to choose from.

Jacqueline Koehn

This place is amazing. Super friendly people working there. Amazing breakfast options with gluten free and vegan options. On top of that, there is super cool decor and interior space! So happy I found this place on my visit to Richmond and I wish I had something like this where I live!!

Meridith B

Delicious!!!!. They have non-dairy, gluten free ice cream, which are coconut based and variety of sorbets as well which is a plus. I've also had the Spotted Cow cake and Fruit Cake (blueberry/raspberry). Moist and flavorful. The cream cheese frosting is rich. I appreciate the fact that the fruit cake had real fruit layered in . You will pay a little more for cake slice compared to other places that sell cake but it did not disappoint and definitely not store bought taste. The variety of colored waffle cones is what my kids love. And they choose something different each time and never complain.

Callie Prewitt

Food was excellent, great selection and service. Menu had several gluten free options. Only giving four stars for environment because our bench seating was uncomfortable. There were other seats it was just where we happened to get seated. Next time I'd like to try their outdoor seating. Food was incredible though and kind of meal you want to eat slow and savor.

Santoshi Tuschak

Awesome oatmilk mocha latte and gluten free brownie. The ambience of this place is delightful...a historical firehouse converted into this light and airy gathering place ..beautiful vibes.

Jerald Smith

The service and food were great. They were able to accommodate my wife who has to be gluten free. Chef/manager answered all of our questions. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is due to the dirty water smell in our take area. We will be returning!

Aaron Roberts

The food here was absolutely fantastic and they had a wide variety of gluten free appetizers and entrees.

Evan Templin

The staff was very nice and professional. Helped me and my wife with our food allergies. Great place for breakfast while staying in the Omni hotel.The gluten free bread was also really good!

Andrew Earl

The website alone was enough to have me interested. The hook, however, was the manager having an allergy specific menu to help people with issues with Gluten, Nuts, and Dairy. Staff was amazing, food was second to none. Atmosphere made it dinner with a show.

Jeff Dodge

Went today. Bought a dozen different gluten free cookies. The family says 5 stars

Caitlin Richardson

Such good food and service! Also don’t sleep on that habanero guava hot sauce. The best part for me is that they have an actually decent gluten free bread option for sandwiches!
