Review of Blind Faith Cafe

525 Dempster St, Evanston, IL 60201

Overall Rating

Review


I have eaten here several times over the years. There are fewer and fewer things that I have been able to safely eat. For example, the fruit crisps are labeled gluten-free but after having a reaction, I checked with the owner and he said the oats are not certified gluten-free but he didn’t see a problem with that. I was not able to clarify the issue for him. My daughter, who also has Celiac, ordered the enchiladas just last night and had a serious gluten reaction, as did I, just taking one bite. The enchiladas are labeled gluten-free. The server reassured us about what was gluten-free, there is a dedicated gluten-free fryer so the french fries are safe. but please be very careful if you eat here. (It is a popular place with many people and I often end up going here in a group but I probably will not order food there from now on)
