Excellent place for lunch. One of the owners has celiac so all good is gluten free or can be. Take things very seriously. Had a pulled pork hoagie - something I would not normally trust. It was an excellent indulgence and no hint of cross contamination. I highly recommend.

Amazing menu with so many choices! Owner's wife has celiac so they understand and take necessary for cautions when preparing gluten free meals. They make their own gluten-free bread and bagels and waffle cones! Have eaten here several times without any issues. Highly recommend giving them a try. Parking is limited but there's lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely worth a visit!

I thought this was just an ice cream place until I went there the other day with my friend. They have a huge menu and offer everything gluten-free or regular. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing, and the staff was incredible. I would highly recommend this place to anybody whether you are gluten-free or not.

I asked about cross contamination. I was told that they are very cautious about that but other foods are being prepared also so there may be a slight cross contamination. I ordered the turkey panini. I thought it came with lettuce tomato etc. Apparently you have to ask for them. Had a small fry also. Very small for the price of $4.00. Prices have increased drastically. Myself and two co workers all had sandwiches and small fries. Came to $44.00. Everyone seemed very pleasant. Not sure if there will be a next time.

Found this place in the most millenial way - while playing Pokemon Go. The whole crew are fantastic. I'm a bakery/desserts person, but my brother loves their sandwiches. A must-have is the cinnamon bun.

Just a short distance off the thruway with delicious cafe food and desserts. Had BBQ chicken and cheddar on a huge gf bun and washed it down with a super moist chocolate salted pretzel cupcake. This will be my new go-to when passing through this area!!

I love JT's! They have delicious homemade gluten free rolls, breads, and treats. Being lactose intolerant and gluten free this place has both vegan and glutten free options and accommodate. Not a separate gluten free facility but very aware of cross contaimnation and make everything separate. Great atmosphere, very friendly and helpful! My first time in, he explained the whole (expansive) menu! I had a delicious homemade gluten free meatball sub with gluten free breadcrumbs, on a fantastic gluten free hoagie roll. I can't wait to try the gluten free fish fry! So many delicious options!

Tons of gluten free options as well as vegan options. The owner was very accommodating and went above and beyond to help piece together the perfect breakfast sandwich for my fiancé and me who both have dietary restrictions. The coffee is delicious with endless favors to choose from. I wish there were more cafes like this one around!

I have been going here regularly since they opened! John and Tammy are so nice! There are so many GF options and most of the GF options are made by a local GF baker. The GF bread and bagels are to die for and all of their cupcakes are delicious! They have a wide variety of milkshakes and homemade juices too! In the summer it is a great place to go for ice cream as well. I have never had any issues with my food and I've never had reaction with my celiacs. It is a small family run cafe so sometimes it does take a few extra minutes to get your food but it's worth it. During the summer there are little tables to sit at on the porch and there's a big picnic table on the side. Parking is tight but it is easy to park in the lot across the street. I love this place!

This is not a typical gluten free restaurant. Nor is it much of a cafe at all. in fact, I'm surprised that this place is allowed to operate with the many health code violations that I have witnessed in only two visits. They do not even operate with a grill. They seem to only have an oven and stove-top. Much of the food is created off-site and brought in by family and friends. How could this be safe, clean, or fully gluten free? They do not have multiple cutting boards to prevent the cross contamination of gluten to non-gluten product. So be very very careful if you have celiac's disease. My order had taken over 15 minutes and I was the only person in the cafe, at the time. I would not want to be at this tiny cafe if they ever happened to be busy. There is little to no parking available. If you choose to sit outside to eat, be mindful that the owners smoke cigarettes like chimneys and the smoke will find its way to you, as they do not care to walk 15 feet from the building to smoke their cigarettes. Not only that, I had witnessed one owner smoking with their apron still on. Then they returned to the kitchen(ette) in the same apron. They do not use hair nets or hats while cooking, so do not be afraid of a few stray hairs n each meal. One of the brownies that I had ordered had several strands of blonde hair throughout it. I showed this to the owner and they did not seem to care, did not offer another brownie, nor had he cared to refund to me the cost of the hair entangled brownie. Please get a qualified food code inspector into this building. Perhaps its proximity to a salon was not the greatest choice for a cafe? Even the cook had mentioned to me that they dont have a thermocouple to temp the meats they prepare. In my 10 years of food service, I've seen many cooks let go for not temping meat product for minimum serving temp requirements to prevent causing illness to customers. This review would have been easier to list the good things than the bad. Let's see... good things... unique shakes, maybe? but they've already increased the prices of their shakes. Lets face it, the owners are careless and not considerate of others. The restaurant is tiny and inconvenient in many ways. And they do not practice food safety properly, or at all, in a few instances.I would not recommend going here. Stick with Yum Yum's! they are much larger, much more friendly, much more safely operating, lower prices, and just overall a much better option.

All their sandwiches are available on GF bread. I had a turkey apple panini with one of their juices and a cannoli cupcake- it was all DELICIOUS! The cupcake was light, moist, and fluffy with amazing frosting. They had lots of different flavors and I can't wait to try their gluten free cones!!
