This place was great. They said they could make bananas foster with gf bread but the triple chocolate mouse cake with pecan crust was my pick. Had a great matcha oat milk latte too. Nice bench swings outside. Great atmosphere and a rare special gf treat.

No baked goods or dedicated menu but made things on their menu gluten free. Had the two eggs, bacon and hash browns. Celiac and feel fine! A little pricey for a family of four but was worth it if I didn’t get sick

Stopped in to pick up gluten free desserts. They had 3 available possibilities when we stopped in. Macaroons, almond joy brownie and double chocolate mousse cake. They were delicious. They will tell you exactly what is in them so you can determine if you can consume them.

Fabulous meal GF Chicken salad sandwich (not on a croissant though 😢) and chocolate mousse pie (watch out if you have a pecan allergy). Watch out for the chips-waitress told me fryer is not dedicated GF so I didn’t get the chips. Did not get sick.

Update: received an email from Alexis the manager. See below.

Although we make every effort possible to accommodate allergies, we are not a gluten free restaurant. We do offer items that do not have gluten as an ingredient, but gluten is airborne. Therefore, we are not a GF certified facility. 

I've had celiacs for over 20 years and never have I had airborne gluten as an excuse as to why there was cross contamination. Maybe the sauce isnt made with all gluten free ingredients?

Either way I was sick on my last day of my vacation and receiving the email above was a slap in the face. Do you even understand that for almost 24 hours a person who has a reaction can't eat.

Ate the bananas foster french toast and got sick. I have celiac so its not just a diet choice.

This place was phenomenal! The gluten-free chicken salad sandwich and homemade potato chips were fresh and delicious I have never had house chips that good - my daughter couldn’t say enough good things about her turkey pretzel pub sandwich and chips of course. the gluten-free chocolate mousse cake it’s unbelievable I will definitely be back again

I had the gluten free bananas foster french toast and it was wonderful - my brother had the bacon, egg, and cheese on gluten free toast and he said it was delicious as well. Will definitely go back!

Absolutely delicious! We tried several gluten free desserts and the taste was unparalleled. The macarons, the triple chocolate cake for sharing, and the almond joy brownie. My only slight concern is that the brownie and cake were sharing the same cold case as other non-gf desserts. The macarons were kept separate. They will make gf cakes to order ahead of time. I did not get sick.

Does not have a dedicated kitchen space for gluten free items. Still has really good food though!

Celiac friendly?

No

The chocolate mousse cake is divine!

This place is awesome! I am a baker and have always had to make my own GF treats and was so excited to find this place. There is a second location up by the Marriott Ocean Watch, bear Hook & Barrel and Publix. I have been 3 times and everything is so good. Now there is not a huge variety of GF items- only three things today, a triple chocolate mousse cake by the slice, a two person tiny cake or a whole cake, almond Joy brownies and macarons. I tried the cake and brownies and OMG they were delicious! I will be going back for more.

My hubby tried the non-gf items and said they were so good as well. I will say it might not be perfect celiac friendly, the employee put my GF items with the gluten full items in the same box but thankfully they didn't touch. But it would not be hard to request a separate box. I think this is definitely a place to try!

I visited the restaurant based on the reviews and was sorely disappointed! The staff was wonderful and extremely apologetic when I explained my concerns. If I weren’t GF, I would have liked to eat here. My concerns: they have gluten free cakes, which are displayed right next to gluten containing ones. I spoke with the baker who said that the goods are not baked in a dedicated environment. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich. They wanted to put it on toast (no dedicated toaster) as the bread is kept frozen. They offered to put the bread in the oven instead, but at that point I asked for, and was given without hesitation, a refund. I went to Mellow Mushroom instead.

Celiac friendly?

No

We walked out before even ordering. We asked about gluten free, the woman stated they had gluten free bread that we were welcome too. The moment I asked about cross contamination, she stated they were gluten sensitive not gluten free and stated that multiple times. If you have celiac disease stay away

Celiac friendly?

No

This was 1 of my favorite breakfast restaurants before being diagnosed with Celiac. It was thrilled to find that they can adjust almost anything on their menu to be GF plus they have GF bread. I've always thought they were a little pricey but they have really good breakfast and once I asked about GF the hostess immediately let my server know that "this customer has gluten allergies".

Celiac friendly?

Yes

limited breakfast options, ordered brie omelet and came out with bread on it and had be remade, at least they were nice about it.

Excellent food. Staff knowledgeable of gluten free needs of a celiac. Will definitely return to this restaurant. Rose
