Olive Branch Bakery & Cafe

Really great with GF! Stopped in for Sunday brunch and our server was extremely knowledgeable about cross contamination with the toast, shared fryer, etc. Plenty of options from egg scrambles, bowls, omelettes, and grits. Definitely felt safe eating here and no reaction afterwards.

Had the brisket skillet breakfast and meat and veggies were so amazing and tender! The potatoes are fried in same oil so was easy to leave off. Sunday brunch was a win for sure. They have GF bread but unable to do french toast, can do sandwiches and such with grilled instead of fried chicken. Fyi

We went in person to ask about a to-go breakfast. The lady who helped us did my know but went and asked for us. We ordered a meal with eggs, potatoes, bacon and homemade sausage. The meal came with bread but they didn’t have gluten free so we had them leave it off. The food was very good.

I’ve been eating here consistently for the last couple of months and have not gotten sick since the very first time! They now offer gluten free pasta as a substitute and it’s excellent!

Delicious gf salad! All dressings are gluten free except the southwest. They were very accommodating and went through the menu with me. They made a salad gf for me that was not listed as gf on the menu. Very good customer service too!

I'v been here twice now and both times there was no gluten free backed goods. I would not go if that is what you want.

Only 4 things on whole menu that were gf and only 1 breakfast option was gf. They only have scrambled eggs on weekends, and they weren't very good. My meal was pretty bland and the staff didn't seem to know much about gf stuff.

We didn't eat lunch, but only stopped in for a treat. They offered two kinds of gf cupcakes, and iced them fresh. However, they were very dry.

They have a few gluten-free options on their menu, most notably the cupcakes. They don't always have them, and they're not amazing by any means. However, it's definitely better than having no cupcake at all :)
