THE GLUTEN FREE IS NOT ACTUALLY GLUTEN FREE I would give this place 0 stars if I could. As a celiac unable to eat gluten, I have enjoyed this place on many occasions. However, when I ordered a gluten-free crêpe this time around, I ended up getting quite sick (and will remain sick and in pain for the next few days) as the chef decided to cook the gluten-free crêpe with the regular non-gluten-free equipment. That defeats the whole purpose of having a gluten-free option because regardless of if you order a gluten-free item, if it is cooked on equipment where gluten-containing products are made, than that “gluten free” menu item is no longer gluten-free. Absolutely appalled and will never return. The manager and server both even tried to argue that it wasn’t their fault as I never specified it was a “very severe” allergy, but I never had to do this in the past as the establishment had made it explicitly clear that they had a separate prep area for ALL gluten-free orders (regardless of if it was a “very severe” allergy or not 🙄). Sounds to me like they were just trying to cover their ass for their mistake and laziness. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a dietary preference or an allergy, if somebody orders gluten-free and the establishment assures that it will be, than it should actually be such.

So good, everyone was was so nice. Best of all didn't get sick. Looking forward to next visit, when in Richmond. Thank you.

Delicious! And a must visit if you are in Richmond. Accommodating, felt safe, didn’t have a reaction. So, SO yummy!

I confirmed that my crepe could be a made gluten free and they told me that they used a different flour for the gluten free crepes. I ordered the Omelet Crepe and my daughter ordered the Nutella Crepe. Both of our crepes were really delicious and I did not feel sick afterwards. The service was great.

Great gluten free options and excellent service! The Cowboy is delicious - crepe cooked perfectly, filling was the flavorful and the steak was cooked perfectly.

We also tried the GF Crème Brûlée crepe, which made our morning much better. Perfect amount of sweetness and the fresh fruit balanced it out. Delicious!

Would definitely recommend and return again (they have so many GF options!)!

By far, my favourite place to eat in Richmond! The crepes here are amazing and you can get them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert! The menu has many gluten free options and the wait staff fully understands when you say you have an allergy. I eat here way too much to be honest and I’ve never had any issue with cross contamination.

My mother and I visited here. We both ordered gluten free crepes, and the server confirmed they were both gluten free when they were brought to our table. However, afterwards, my mother got quite sick. Would not recommend for celiacs. Clearly cross contaminated or maybe a gluten crepe entirely.
