My go-to for a weekend breakfast. Lots of gf options, both for breakfast and lunch, and I’ve never gotten sick.

Wow! How have i never been here before?!? The parking is a pain obviously because it’s downtown but I managed to get a street spot (good thing I’m a parallel parking wiz). They were super cool about telling me what can be made gluten free. They do their best to avoid cross contamination but tell you they do make non GF things there also. I got the breakfast sandwich add bacon in GF bread omg it was delicious. No reaction yet so fingers crossed!

Stopped in for brunch a couple days ago before a tour of U of M, and had the gf avocado toast with tomato. It was delicious and gave me only a minor reaction, probably from cross contamination as this is usually what gives me a small reaction. Still a wonderful meal despite that. Only seemed to have one waitress that morning so service was a bit slow but that didn’t effect my experience in the slightest.

I was a little nervous, since they gave me an in-depth CYA talk, but the food was great! I ordered the Ann Avacado toast. My partner got an omelette with some incredible gf toast!

I've got silent celiac, so ymmv

Best breakfast place in Ann Arbor for celiac. Multiple options. Gluten free bread available. There are also dairy free and vegan options available as well. I highly recommend the tomato soup.

This may have been the best omelet I've ever had: the masala omelet. Highly recommend.

I don’t know why I’ve been avoiding this place - I just ate one of the best burgers I’ve had in Ann Arbor yet. Ordered through Doordash for pickup (the Grubhub app doesn’t have the gluten free option or allergen options, as a heads up).

Daughter is celiac and we find this place good and safe. They talked recently about getting a separate kitchen area for GF.

I don’t know why this place doesn’t have more reviews. It has “gluten-free” written in large letters on the front window. It’s fantastic for gluten free food! I had the French toast with gluten-free bread which was perfectly cooked. Everyone else I went with said their food was excellent and well prepared. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Not everything is gluten-free but they say that most things can be prepared gluten-free. Open for breakfast and lunch. I’ll definitely be back.

I ordered a Thai wrap with a gluten free option for a take out. The wrap was not gluten free - the tortilla was thick but very elastic, had a sort of transparent look which is usually the look of regular tortillas. My partner who doesn’t have a gluten issue tried it and it did taste like a flour tortilla. I was not able to eat most of the dish. The disappointing part is that we contacted them but we got no response.

The rest of the family said their dish was good. We dined before and the staff was nice as well.

Wife has celiac and was very sick after eating the “gf” pancakes here. Server even asked the cook to use gf flour so either he forgot or there was bad cross contamination

Menu says “most things can be made GF” and sure enough - asked if they could make the pancakes (not labeled GF) GF, and voila! Very tasty!

I have been here twice, they seem very knowledgeable about gluten free and offer most of the menu as gluten free. We had dinner and breakfast, and both were amazing
