Stopped in here for lunch and was…disappointed. The only items they had that could be made gluten free were the sandwiches. They made them over a salad instead. They recommended the BLT as a salad and well. It really was a hunk of lettuce with some oil and bacon and that was it! Not worth the $16 I paid by any means. Safe for gluten free but be aware you’re gonna be eating a sad salad here!

Everything was awesome! Drinks came out quite a bit ahead of our pastries. They just had to warm them up, waited about ten minutes. But it was worth it! Chai latte and pumpkin muffin were fabulous!

Gluten free baked goods right next to glutened ones. Some were even touching. They use the same waffle iron for gluten and gluten free. This place is not safe for celiacs.

We absolutely love this place sooo many options the gf waffles were Delicious (my son said best he ever had) we also bought gf tiramisu, chocolate banana cake, chocolate chip cookie) they had more stuff but couple were touching gluten products, I wish they would separate them and put gf stuff alone so we could eat. My son didn’t get sick and loved every bite.

We highly recommend this place! My daughter (9) is a super-sensitive celiac with a great deal of anxiety eating out due to fears of cross-contamination. We’ve eaten here every day of our vacation and it has been great! She had the chocolate mousse, apple galette, and breakfast quiche. All were absolutely amazing. I’m also gluten free and had no problems.

Cute little bakery and cafe in ‘Little Italy.’ GF desserts are labeled. We got everything that was offered that day but tiramisu (although it looked divine): mango mousse, chocolate mousse, banana chocolate chip muffin and cookie. All spectacular; all yummy. I didn’t even look at the prices as we were interested in eating a bakery vs cost (if that makes sense)

Great gluten-free baked goods.

Some of the “gluten free” items are placed on the same surface as gluten-containing items — I would definitely avoid these.

I ordered the gluten-free items that were plated separately. They were delicious and I experienced no symptoms of gluten contamination. Would recommend :-)

The apple tart was amazing! I also had a chocolate chip cookie and it was really yummy too. The apple tart made me flash back to my gluten eating days. So good!
