NoRa Cafe

I ordered the 'orange you glad you're vegan' sandwich with a side salad and the lavender bee latte. It was all very good. I didn't originally see anything listed that they had gluten free options, so I'm very glad I asked about it. The sandwich was very good, however the bread was cinnamon bread so it was an odd mixture of the hummus and pickles of the sandwich. It was still quite good though. Customer service was great and they are all very sweet. Will definitely be referring friends here 🙂

A bacon and cheddar biscuit! Yes, please! Enjoyed this little spot. Great coffee selection. They have a separate display area of gluten free pastries. Enjoyed the lemon poppyseed loaf and the blueberry muffin.

I love NoRa. The service is always wonderful, the atmosphere is great, and the pastries are delicious! I love that they have gluten free pastries available in a totally separate case. They offer items from local bakers with dedicated GF kitchens! ❤

Cute little coffee shop! They carry goodies from local baked Freshly Baked by Meg as well as other local bakers, I think. All the GF items are in a separate case and they use separate tongs for that case. I can’t speak to gluten in the drinks they offer since I wasn’t getting a drink, but the baked goods are yummy and seem to be handled safely.

NoRa is a relaxing place to meet a friend for coffee or tea. They offer a GF breakfast sandwich and they also have a separate case for GF pastries. They use different GF bakers from the area. I sampled delicious cinnamon doughnuts Freshly Baked by Meg and a slice of lemon blueberry loaf cake by Rising Thistle Bakery.

I love so many things about this cafe. 1) The variety of drinks and treats. They have the largest gluten-free selection I’ve food at any cafe in the triangle. 2) The hours. Not many cafes are open later in the evening. 3) Atmosphere. Plenty of parking, Variety of I door and outdoor seating, art, books, and friendly staff. From a gluten-free preservative I do like that most the gluten free treats are in their own case. JP’s and Rising Thistle are dedicated gluten-free. Shout out to Rising Thistle for the amazing Lemon Poppy Seed bread. This was the first I’ve heard of this bakery and also the first time I’ve had anything lemon poppy seed in many years. It’s not a common gluten-free option. They also had gluten-free treats from 9th street bakery which to my knowledge is not dedicate gluten free for those who have celiacs or more extra sensitivities.
