Comet Cafe

Went for a late lunch with some friends on a weekday thinking it might be safer when less crowded. I told them I had celiac and asked about the toast being toasted with other things. The staff didn't seem to know much, but when I asked them to double check, they did. I asked for a chai latte and they brought me a hot tea with a chai flavored tea bag. At first I thought I just misread the menu but then when I looked again I realized they had chai under hot tea and chai latte. After assuring me they would double check my food came out and the toast was placed on top. As I was getting ready to take a bite, the staff came up and stopped me as he had another random plate of toast. He said the toast I had was GF just prepared with other bread. I took it off my plate and decided to skip the toast. Got bacon and eggs and hash browns that was marked GF thinking it would be relatively safe. Unfortunately my stomach started acting up later that day and the next day I broke out in hives. Wouldn't recommend this place for celiac.

I was a little skeptical about this place and ended up falling in love with it. I had the squash omelette with a side of bacon and a chai latte. I was particularly nervous about the beer cheese in the omelette and the toast served along with it. I even protested the toast as looking like the non-GF kind my husband had. They assured me it was safe. I enjoyed everything and suffered no ill effects afterwards, which is a huge compliment because I am very sensitive, and I had a 10-hour drive immediately following.

Offers a fair amount of GF options, as well as GF buns for burgers/sandwiches. I had a cheesy roast beef sandwich on a GF bun and it was delicious! Note: food was not prepared in a dedicated GF kitchen.

Other Characteristics

• Good for breakfast/brunch

The best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Gluten free bread was unreal and they also had vegan cheese. Meany clearly states if it’s is gluten free or can substitute. Not a gluten free kitchen tho

They were out of gluten free bread which then eliminated more than half of the very limited gluten free menu. I got the French fries which are listed as g free but when he handed them to me I just verified that they had separate fryer and he said no. Why are they on the gluten free menu then?

Celiac friendly?

No

Not safe, and made that very clear. Were obviously annoyed that I even asked about accommodating celiac.
