On safety—We understand that everyone has unique preferences and requirements when it comes to food, and we are thrilled to rise to the occasion by offering a gluten-free batter option for every Crepe on our menu. Our journey towards perfecting the gluten-free Crepe has been an exciting adventure. We consciously researched and tested various flour blends before settling on a combination of garbanzo bean flour, white sorghum flour, tapioca flour, and fava bean flour. When you visit us for brunch, breakfast or dessert, you’ll find that our gluten-free Crepes are a highlight on our menu. They embody the same love and care we put into all our dishes, ensuring that even those with gluten sensitivities can indulge in the delightful experience of eating a well-made Crepe.

Really yummy and I was able to watch them clean everything and replace utensils and gloves. Not perfectly celiac safe but good enough for the occasional treat!

GF DF crepes in sweet and savory flavors, or build your own. Several vegan options too. I had a mild reaction after so I suspect cross-contamination is an issue.

We understand that everyone has unique preferences and requirements when it comes to food, and we are thrilled to rise to the occasion by offering a gluten-free batter option for every Crepe on our menu.

Our journey towards perfecting the gluten-free Crepe has been an exciting adventure. We consciously researched and tested various flour blends before settling on a combination of garbanzo bean flour, white sorghum flour, tapioca flour, and fava bean flour.

This particular blend not only ensures that our batter is completely gluten-free but also guarantees that they are delicious, fluffy, and satisfying, just like traditional Crepes.

Our commitment to accommodating gluten-free diets extends beyond Crepes, as we are delighted to offer a tasty selection of gluten-free Waffles.

Of course, we recommend caution for those with severe allergies and Celiac disease, as our kitchen does handle gluten products regularly. Despite our best efforts and dedicated protocols, we use the same griddles and utensils for all our products, which means that cross-contamination is possible. Our commitment to offering gluten-free options extends to providing a gluten-free batter, but we cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free environment.

We are transparent about our processes and want to ensure that all our customers make informed choices about their dining experience. If you have any concerns or need more information, our staff is more than happy to assist and answer any questions you might have.

Not celiac friendly but has lots of GF options. I have celiacs and the guy was super friendly and offered to clean the waffle maker. He made me a smoothie and made sure it was gluten free and told me what he put in it. Great service just not celiac friendly

If you don't want cross contamination you have to be the first person there to order when it opens. I've done that before and was fine (not celiac, just sensitive).

Crepes were delicious but you can go to Happy Tart if you want gluten free safe crepes.

Gluten free crepes are cooked and served with the same utensils as regular crepes. After missing several days of classes and work for my symptoms after eating here, I expressed my concern to the owner. After multiple emails they made it clear that they are unwilling to remove the gluten free logo from their website? Posting warnings or using separate utensils/surfaces. Very unhelpful and false advertising for the seriously celiac.

Updated #2. Drove specifically for a wonderful crepe from Dulce on 18 Feb 18, yes it was delicious, however within 10 minutes had a severe reaction. Was very clear I needed gluten free, however failed to observe the making. I suspect there was cross contamination. #1 Excellent crepe, highly recommend. No issues. Staff very friendly.

Not Celiac friendly at all. Was not willing to clean the crepe griddle or us clean new utensils. Walked out with out any food. Daughter was sad she couldn't get a GF crepe.

Extremely light, airy, delicious crepes made with high quality, fresh ingredients. The space is small and shared so cross contamination may be an issue but they are extremely accommodating and thoughtful; id be willing to bet that they'd clean the crepe griddle if you asked. The cost may seem a bit high at $7-$10 a crepe but the quality of the food and service make it more than worth it. They also serve a killer latte with illy beans.

The only things I'd suggest to management is updating their website to correctly spell "gluten" and to invest in better silverware - the crepes are nearly impossible to cut with the flimsy plastic utensils they currently have. Oh and maybe change the playlist; it feels like a very clean and calm European coffee shop but they were playing rock and Rihanna at 10 am.
