NOT SAFE for celiacs. When I asked about their gluten safety protocols, the first person I spoke to said “yes everything is clean and safe we avoid cross-contamination and have separate utensils for everything“. Then the manager came out, and said “no, everything IS cross-contaminated. The flour comes in and it gets everywhere. I wouldn’t trust anything.“ I believed her. So I had a coffee. Which was nice. But if you want food, this is not the place to go.

Do NOT eat here, it’s not safe and they’re not informed on Celiac or any allergies.

The gf bread is sliced on a shared slicer. It’s toasted in a shared toaster. I asked all of the usual questions and while the server was patient and sweet about finding the information on how they’re prepping in the kitchen, the larger problem is they don’t fully understand Celiac.

The server brought the manager out who said to me “I wouldn’t eat the bread if you’re fully Celiac.” Ugh.

I ended up getting an egg skillet and I asked two more times if there was anything on it and the manager told me it was fine, it’s just eggs and avocado.

The skillet came out and my god there were pre packaged fried onion strings on top. I sent it back because ohmygod!

She was super apologetic but here’s why you really shouldn’t eat here... all they did was pick off the fried onion bits, toss on some scallions and heat up he skillet again. Instead of making a fresh dish that didn’t have cross, the eggs were hard, not runny and dangerous for me to eat.

Be warned.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have tartines that you can get on delicious GF bread. Good coffee and lemonade. I love their hazelnut spread. They have it on the tables (I don't use those bc of cross contamination), but buy a jar to take home.

There were NO glutenfree options. Long time waiting and in the end a not very helpful waiter. Shouldn’t go there!

Het is een bakker waar je goed kunt lunchen of wat kunt drinken met wat lekkers erbij. Ze hebben oa brownies en een chocoladetaartje welke glutenvrij zijn. De salades konden gemakkelijk glutenvrij aangepast worden. Het personeel dacht ook heel goed mee. Ze hebben een heel uitgebreide allergenen lijst. Ook was het mogelijk om een glutenvrij brood in de bakkerij te kopen die je dan zelf mocht beleggen. Het was niet mogelijk om het menu glutenvrij te bestellen, maar op deze manier was het toch mogelijk. Heel fijn geholpen en prima gegeten.

I was impressed enough to say I would always go there if I needed a snack while waiting for a train. They do gluten-free bread which has a nutty texture with sunflower seeds. There is a range of of reasonably priced dishes including scrambled eggs, salads, sandwiches.

They had chicken soup with no carbs and some toasted seeded bread. And coconut macaroons. Those were my options today at 3pm. It was tasty.

They have table service, which I didn’t realize.
