Review


They have a menu that labels gluten free options really well. But, coeliacs beware.

I ordered scrambled eggs on toast, telling them I was a coeliac. It came out on obviously gluten bread, so I asked them to remake it.

They waited a few minutes and then brought out what was obviously the same eggs (it had the appearance of eggs that have had time to coagulate post-cooking, and they had originally arrived with a distinctive clumping that was present in the original eggs.)

I asked if they’d been remade and our server said “yes”. When we followed up with her, she went to the kitchen to ‘confirm’, and several minutes later said they’d remake it ‘just to be certain that they’d been remade’, and fell over themselves to apologetically offer a baked good (which had gluten lol) or any other thing I’d like as an apology.

New eggs were definitely remade, but I got a sore stomach soon after eating so I fear there may have been cross contamination.

The food is tasty, but I’d caution coeliacs about the risks. All the more galling because they charge $2 for one slice of gluten free bread!
