Review


Very cute restaurant. Pretty small so depending on the time of day it may be a bit of a wait for a table. The menu has tons of gf item marked as well as gf pao de quejo, waffles and bread. However, when I went to order I found out everything is cooked on the same surface. They would not use a clean pan for me. Great if you’re intolerant and ok with cross contamination however if you’re celiac it felt misleading. Rarely do I find a restaurant who refuses to use a clean plan for eggs etc. i ended up only feeling comfortable ordering an açai bowl. All the gluten eaters loved the food. And my bowl was excellent but I went 30 mins out of my way in an Uber to have a more substantial breakfast, hoping for bread and eggs etc. if you’re looking for something light I would suggest this restaurant
