I got the gluten free pancakes with wild rice and blueberries. It was so good! Really delicious. I had some of my husband’s wild rice omelette, which was also very good. You can request gluten free hollandaise sauce. Bonus: their orange juice is fresh and they have sugar free maple syrup.

Review
I was excited to go to a place my daughter loved before being diagnosed with celiac, especially when I had seen the other good reviews. Unfortunately, we did not share a similar experience to others. Although a gluten free menu is offered, this is not a safe option if cross contamination is a concern as we were told the kitchen will not cook gluten free items on a specified area of the grill, all food shares space. I had high hopes based on prior reviews, but was left exceedingly disappointed.

Gluten free bread, pancakes, buns, French toast, etc. Staff was so friendly and appeared very knowledgeable about GF menu. My daughters with Celiac both ate with no reaction. We really enjoyed our experience!

We had the gf pancakes. While I appreciate that they have pancakes, French toast, toast and some pastries, the pancakes were disappointing. They were just dry and I had the blueberry pancakes with compote on the top. I really wanted to like them.
They were willing to tell you ingredients, etc. Such friendly staff!
The iced coffee and strawberry lemonade were very good.

Always a wonderful treat to find a local restaurant that has a Celiac friendly menu! Our 7 year old loved the pancakes!! Good food & great staff. Even took fresh roasted coffee and desserts to go! Definately will be back.
