Hickory Street Cafe

I found this cafe from the app and my hubby and I stopped by today for lunch. There are a lot of gf options ! I got the chicken salad that comes w two pieces of zucchini bread ( have to ask for the gf). Salad was so so, not much flavor and it’s a scoop served on two pieces of lettuce. Next time I will get something else. The zucchini bread was amazing ! I brought my second piece home and bought a loaf to go. My hubby said his normie sandwich was really good. He got the roast beef w green chiles ( can’t remember the name of the sandwich he got). He got the sweet peach tea and loved it. I don’t like sweet tea so I just had water since they don’t offer unsweetened tea. We will go back !

This is the one cafe/restaurant I have felt truly safe and at ease while eating at as a celiac. The waitress was knowledgeable and their menu has true gluten free substitutions for everything. When I mentioned I wanted a gluten free BLT the waitress immediately said, “Ok, I’ll sub the pasta salad for fruit salad.” (All entrees come with pasta salad and fries). They are famous for their chocolate zucchini bread which they make gluten free as well. 100% recommend. And made a reservation! This place is hopping!

I really enjoyed eating here! Really cute little historic location. They offered gluten free zucchini bread and not one but TWO gluten free desserts. Love having so many options. The wait staff was knowledgeable and was happy to answer any of my questions. Will definitely be going back. Only down side is their limited hours.
