Keys Cafe & Bakery

Love this place! The GF pancakes are amazing, I've never gotten sick eating them, add blueberries to make them even better. The atmosphere is one of the loveliest in the area, cozy and friendly and fun (watched the cooks dance as the made food!). The GF toast is no so great, it's thin and grainy (it's Udi's, so meh) and also doesn't have a dedicated toaster. I've gotten contaminated from it. Never had an issue with the pancakes, I just wish they had GF Buckwheat pancakes. Their buckwheat were the best.

Celiac friendly?

No

My mother and I both got sick. May have been an off day? Our server was not good and it seemed like we were a burden to him for asking about the gluten free. I had a great experience in the Roseville location...

They have gluten-free toast on the menu but the waitress told me that it goes in the same toaster as normal bread and they have no other options except having it untoasted. They also have a shared griddle that they do not clean for gluten-free customers.

That being said, I had a delicious steak & cheese sandwich. So just be aware that their advertised gluten-free items may not actually be celiac safe, make sure to ask your waitress.

Really good GF pancakes and waffles. Staff was knowledgeable about GF and friendly. Location is tiny and very busy while we there, but food was worth the wait.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waffle was delicious and staff took great care to make my food separate (took a little longer than everyone else's) - would recommend

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went here for lunch and it was great! keys had a lot of options for me being dairy and gluten free. But be careful as they do share the same kitchen space.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Literally the best gluten free pancakes I have ever had. And they are bigger than your head. I would suggest sharing. So good and I didn't get sick

I wish I'd seen the other review mentioning shared equipment and utensils before going here. I had an omelet and later was sick from the cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great diner style breakfast options. Went on a weekend morning...get there early there will be a wait!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They cook off their food on the same griddle with the same utensils.

Celiac friendly?

Classic diner experience with very good gluten free options. Waffles with fresh strawberries were fantastic!

Gluten free bread, buns, pancakes and waffles. Great breakfast place.

*My daughter is gluten sensitive She got the omelet and the GF toast which she was not super fond of. We did however see some beautiful cupcakes that were gluten free.

No matter where you go, unless it's 100% gf, you take a chance. I take these chances. Most times everything is alright. Sometimes, not so much. Its definitely better than McDonald's.

I was given a tip by someone that I could safely have omelette, eggs, toast and bacon here. I ordered poached eggs with gluten free toast and confirmed when I ordered that they still have a separate toaster for GF. Happily enjoyed my breakfast and did not get sick. I was told that the pancakes would not be celiac safe because of cross contact.
