Best WLM Reviews

Honesty, was a bit nerve wracking because nothing in the shop says that it’s 100% gluten free (GF) - but IT IS! I have anaphylactic wheat allergy and am a celiac and found and trusted the comments on the “Find Me GF app”. I will say I asked the person taking the order if it was gluten free and she was very mundane and it was just a “yes”. Decided to risk it despite the food anxiety that comes with an allergy and glad I did!
I got the beaut biscuit and a waffle with no issues at all! The biscuit is one of the rare types of GF bread you get while out that doesn’t crumble and LOVE that! The waffle reminded me of ones I had before my allergy.
The place is poppin which is great to see for a GF location! I would suggest they include some signage about being gluten free - it would really benefit those that do have an allergy to feel safe.
Would highly recommend the food. My husband’s a gluten eater and loved his food too!
So bland. Dense and flavorless biscuit. The egg was so flat and missing any idea of a yolk. Cheese was dried. Bacon was better than thin but fatty and not much of it. It needs something more. They had a little butter (unhelpful). Maybe honey? Maybe just not eat here.
Oh my gosh. I have no words. I’m in complete shock, actually. I’m in from Indianapolis on my way through to visit family. I found this place on the Find Me GF app and I’m like wow, they make 100% gluten free products AND biscuits are part of their menu? Yes please! I preordered my DoorDash for the morning at 10:30PM knowing full well I was going to have this before leaving. No disappointment, only shock and awe. Thank you for creating such a delicious biscuit as big as my hand that is fluffy and buttery. There was no grittiness, I’m just so thrilled. This will be likely the only reason for me to make it a priority to stay in Richmond so that I can have breakfast again here on my way out. Please, if you decide to start freezing and selling these biscuits, I will happily order them religiously from you.
A small shop downtown with a MASSIVE impact!! All their goodies as gluten free!!! I was so happy I nearly cried!! The scones - I don't think I've ever had a scone since I was diagnosed almost 15 years ago with my wheat allergy. They were scrumptious. The giant biscuits were like nothing I've ever had. You need to try them they don't seem gf at all. Had the beaut and it was fantastic! Everything was deliciously fresh and just a dab of hotsauce making it PERFECT! Trying the waffles next time!!! Good coffee too! Go early they get BUSYYYY. And yeah, they serve in disposable serve wear/dining wear but who cares?! The taste is fantastic! And friendly smiles from everyone.
I ordered breakfast and coffee to go because it was walking distance to my hotel, and I wasn't disappointed! The chocolate chip scone was delicious and I'm still thinking of it a day later. My fiance and I split the Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit Sandwich because it's pretty large. I loved the thick cut bacon that was perfectly crispy without being burnt! You could hear a crunch in every bite! The biscuit was also delicious and didn't fall apart.
I didn't realize this was a gluten-free restaurant until I came here to review it, but that's an added bonus!
I took one bite and started writing this review. One of the things I miss the most since having to go gluten free is biscuits. Breakfast is my favorite meal, and there’s nothing quite like a warm, fluffy biscuit or a biscuit breakfast sandwich. Oh sweet lord, this is phenomenal. The biscuits are light, fluffy, and huge. They don’t fall apart or crumble like a lot of other gluten free bread products, and no holes either! I ordered the bacon & egg biscuit, a biscuit with jam and butter, and a chocolate chip scone. Every bite was incredible. I also got my wife a biscuit and two coffees and it was less than $30. I’m already going back tomorrow to buy in bulk.
My wife & I absolutely loved the waffles and biscuits. With her strict diet, it's hard to find GF meals that taste as amazing as yours. Thank you for providing an option that rivals so many others we've tried. And the bacon & sausage... wow!
Safe place for those with celiac disease, 100% gluten free. Not far from I-95. The egg and cheese biscuit was so good. The blueberr pecan scone and the raspberry white chocolate scone were AMAZING! The flavors really come through wonderfully. So thankful for this place.
