Nothing in their kitchen is dedicated gluten free, and on a few occasions employees have mentioned there is definitely cross contamination and nothing can be said to be actually gluten free for celiac! i have celiac and got extremely sick from a brownie promised to be gluten free.

Im not very picky at all when it comes to gluten free but i wasnt impressed with their GF bagel.. With that being said.. It was still edible and their smoothie was very good as well. Id probably just get a sandwhich instead next time instead of a bagel.

They do not take food allergies seriously. On more than one occasion, I was served gluten despite my request for gluten free. Today, I asked the server twice if my bagel was gluten free. After I ate the bagel, I was told that it was not in fact a gluten free bagel. Despite this, the server was unapologetic and smug. I won’t be back.

Had lunch here today and loved it! I need to eat at a place that offers gluten free food because I have Celiac. I ordered bagels and lox which was delicious. The place was adorable and very clean. I will definitely go back there soon.

Staff was fairly knowledgeable - willing to ask questions when they weren’t sure. I asked if they cooked the sandwich melts on a separate grill and they said they could on request. I ordered the gf Rueben with chips. I guess Taffets is their bread supplier. Food tasted ok, but I can’t say it was amazing or that I’d go back (more a review of the sandwich itself - the bread was pretty good, I was surprised it was gf, though the waiter who brought it out confirmed it was when I asked). I had a bit of brain fog afterward and stomach cramps later in the evening, so I think there may have been a small bit of CC (hard to tell when you’re on travel, but it definitely wasn’t from breakfast). Also, they keep their gf desserts in the same case as regular desserts, but they’re on the top shelf. I didn’t try any.

Not great and the staff is so rude. I used to go here a lot but its just not worth it. $7 for a bad bagel w creamcheese served with a really horrible attitude.

It is nice to have a gluten-free breakfast option, but boy do I miss mugshots cafe. Now that mugshots is closed, ocf is the other local gluten-free option. However, ocf's gf bagels are dry and cut the inside of your mouth. The size is larger than the sandwich I used to get at mugshots, but I don't even want to finish my egg sandwich because my mouth hurts from eating it. Also, they don't offer pork bacon, only turkey bacon. Eh, at least I ate something, but $15 for a not-so-great sandwich, coffee, and a cookie seems a lot.

Lots of options that are very unique. So exciting to have a sandwich on a gluten free bagel! They're also very knowledgable about cross contamination and trace amounts of gluten in condiments

Walked out of the eastern pen and decided to see what gf food was nearby. Conveniently, a 5star location was right across the street. They had a good selection of sandwiches, cookies, etc. Pleasant surprise! Busy place, took a while to get food but it was worth the wait.

This place has GF and vegan options for lunch and baked goods, and the sandwhich I had was awesome! However I gave it 4 stars because you cannot 'build a sandwhich' like other places and must pick one that's already built on their menu, but if they allowed you to build your own they would be a go-to for lunch!
