This is a great place to go if you’re gf. Lots of breakfast options and none breakfast options.
Review
I ordered the gluten free vegan omelet; the waitress replied ‘ok’ and it brought it out with wheat based bacon in it. I didn’t ask what was in the bacon until after my face started to tingle and get warm halfway through my meal. Turns out the waitress had no idea what she was doing and just casually poisoned me without so much as an ‘I’m sorry’ when it was pointed out to her. When I asked why she brought me gluten when I asked for gluten free she replied that I asked for a gluten free wrap, not for the whole thing to be gluten free.
I have never heard such a stupid response. What happened to common sense? If I can’t have gluten in the wrap, what made her think I could have it in the vegan bacon???
I don’t feel safe eating here and I will not recommend this place for anyone with allergies. I had a terrible allergic reaction which ruined my entire weekend and half of my work week.

Super good, they have a separate fryer for fries. Both quesadillas and wraps are super good, and they are knowledgeable of allergies.

It DOES have GF items clearly marked on the menu. Gf pancakes, waffles, tortillas and really good bread. My hockey player son had a really good breakfast without issue. Highly recommend!
