We just ate there this morning. What an amazing experience. Our server made a note that I’m GF, there are tons of options on the menu. Then the owner came over confirmed my sensitivity and made sure our server and the runners knew what was up. Our server made it clear that they use different gloves, use a separate area of the kitchen, etc. once our food arrived, the server and the owner checked in to be sure everything was okay. Breakfast is tough with cross-contamination and these folks have it down. We’re already making plans to return just to go here.

Seriously the best GF breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. I got the Croque Madame on GF bread and it was delicious. The server told me GF items are made in a separate area so there wouldn’t be CC. I had no reactions from the food. I would 100% recommend and would definitely go back!

This place is really small, which made us nervous but our waitress marked it for celiac and made us feel comfortable eating. The omelets were good and had GF bread toasted separate.

Delicious brunch, knowledgeable staff! They even put in notes that said “gluten allergy, make everything separate, GF bagel don’t warm” (shared toaster) with my order! (So so appreciated since I’m a sensitive celiac over here)

Delicious! Gf marked and lots of options!! They use UDI multigrain gf bread and they were very patient when I needed to check ingredients for another allergy of mine. Lots of smoothies I didn’t even get to check out. Will definitely be back

Side bonus surprise if you want a very big birthday song for your friend hey take care of that bigger than I’ve ever seen or heard. ;-)

I ate the gluten free eggs Benedict on bagels, and it was fantastic! I added ham. I spoke to them about contamination, and they put the food on tinfoil to avoid shared surfaces. It is a small kitchen, so I was a bit nervous. However, I was completely safe. I am quite a sensitive celiac.

I explained that I am celiac/"allergic" and need to strictly avoid cross contamination. I watched from the bar (where I was seated) as they used the same spatulas and the same grille as they were toasting the bread on. They told me the bread always stays on one side, then I watched them put bread down on the other side. When I explained again that the surface and the tools need to be clean, they "cleaned" the grill by scraping it down, then used a new spatula. I ate the new meal because I felt bad, but had diarrhea for a week afterwards. I had asked for a clean pan instead of the grille, but they said they don't do that. (I'm newly diagnosed and still learning how to talk to wait staff.) If you eat there, be crystal clear about how they should cook the food, and hope they listen!

We went here for breakfast and had an omelette. Incredible service, would come here again just for the host! Seemed really knowledgeable about gf/wheat free food and checked with the kitchen when I asked them to make sure the gf bread was wheat free too. Delicious food.

Genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever eaten!! This place was absolutely amazing — it was super busy but the staff was incredibly nice and they moved so quickly that we barely had to wait for anything. The coffee was absolutely perfect and the food was unbelievable. Plus the staff went out of their way to check their ingredients to make sure my allergens were noted! I cannot recommend this place enough.
