Excellent food. Huge variety. Owner has celiac. Everything baked on site. Separate fryer. Owner said she has the best wood-fired gf pizza ever (we were there at brunch so couldn’t try).

I have found one of the best GF restaurants in Door County. Gf Pizza and Pasta and more. The food is delicious and the service was excellent. Great service from Alyssa.

I got the donut bites to go. There were a dozen of them tossed in cinnamon & sugar and they came with a cherry dipping sauce.

They were an unexpected, yummy find this far north in Door County. It was delightful to find a placed versed in safe gf protocol, like a dedicated fryer. Since they’re closed Wednesday & Thursday, we’ll be back on Friday to try their pizza.

This is my new favorite Door County restaurant. Soooo many delicious, GF items on the menu which were all clearly labeled. Right across from Kick Ash, which is a market with GF bakery and other goodies. Makes for the perfect stop :)

How exciting, a place that is knowlegeable about celiac disease and keeping food safe from cross contamination and delightful food options.The owner is celiac so really knows how to do things right. I ordered the short ribs benedict, but modified it and had it over hash browns. It was absolutely delicious, plus no side effects. My husband( a non celiac) had the breakfast burger, with hashbrowns. He loved his meal as well. I can't wait to go back!

I have eaten at the blue bear in Racine and glad to see this in Door County. We ate lunch one day and supper the next. Healthy portions that easily provided another meal. I had the pork sandwich and chips. Then for supper the chicken , veggies and mashed potatoes
