Inner Bean Cafe

My mom and I are both Celiac and have eaten here several times without issue. The staff know a lot about different allgerns and about GF and were very willing to help us. We had sandwiches on GF bread and they were delicious! They also do GF french toast which is amazing!

I really enjoyed the GF French toast and the cashier was nice enough to let me sample the cold brew since she said a lot of people don’t like it much (I also wasn’t a fan). Ended up with an Americana coffee and was happy with the staff, food, and vibe. Cute place. I was nervous since a previous customer said they were kind of rude about having to make GF food, and I didn’t call ahead. I figure if you have GF on your menu it’s not cool to shame people who order it; thankfully, I didn’t have this issue so hopefully that issue with the staff has been fixed. Looks like most of the menu can be GF.

It is extremely gluten-free friendly. And extremely celiac safe. I do have to mention though, that I went for breakfast with my boyfriend. And I ordered the gluten-free allergy french toast, it was a good experience until the person who brought out our food felt the need to berate me(a celiac who got excited to find a place in Augusta that has options other than eggs and meat for gluten-free breakfast) and my boyfriend. Her/their exact words were, "if you know you're going to order this again, call us first. Because this is a lot of work and very inconvenient." While I understand that them having to clean whatever it is they are cooking it on off and sanitized it does take time, we were the only people there.

I do recommend it, because my other experience there was fine but this one left a bad taste in my mouth. They have plenty of options and can make most things gluten-free. I recommend the French Toast(just make sure to call first so you don't get scolded) or the bacon grilled cheese with the peach jam.

I had the GF French toast! Yum! It was crisp and delicious. They were very conscious of cross contamination and kept everything separate. I am a fan! Next time, I’ll be trying their lunch!!

The staff is so nice! Even with a full parking lot / store they got my drink out quickly while I waited for my food. All of their breakfast items are available gluten free as well as their breakfast side items!! Their coffee is DELICIOUS, I got an affogato (double scoop vanilla ice cream with double shot of espresso poured over). Their wide variety of food made my decision hard for the first time in a long time, I haven’t had decisions like this since my pre-celiac days. I can tell they prioritize sanitization as well, as my food was cooked separately on a cleaned grill. They make sure all orders come out correctly, with the nice woman making sure all of my sausages were on my sandwich and everything. Seriously guys, this place SMACKS. Try it if you’re in the area, I wouldn’t lie to you!
