Penny Path Café & Crêpe Shop

Upon the server's recommendation, I opted for a delightful combination of apples and pears generously sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, walnuts, and caramel, topped with powdered sugar and a caramel drizzle—minus the whipped cream.

I appreciated the attentiveness of the wait staff regarding allergens. Upon inquiry, they willingly provided information about the ingredients in their whipped cream, which I avoid due to its inclusion of carrageenan—an ingredient best avoided, especially for those with digestive issues.

While the server provided excellent service, there was a mishap in the kitchen. Instead of my requested dish, they mistakenly prepared a gluten crepe. Despite their effort to rectify the error promptly, I felt the rush affected the quality of my meal. Though the crepe itself was delightful, the raw walnuts and 1 pear and sparse apple slices left something to be desired. Thankfully, a dollop of my pure maple syrup (that I carry with me when a breakfast adventer awaits) salvaged the experience.

Despite this setback, I remain hopeful of returning for a more enjoyable culinary experience. It's worth noting that this cafe takes allergies seriously and is diligent in accommodating dietary restrictions, a commendable aspect reassuring another a visit.

Edit 12/27/2023: we returned for another visit and had a great meal again. We ordered the Hawaiian, pesto, pizza and the a dessert crepe filled with Nutella, ice cream, chocolate sauce and strawberries, all gluten free, so we could share with my daughter. She tried them all and no reaction. They were all delicious. Also highly recommend the chai latte.

We had two great meals here during our vacation to the area. We ordered several crepes: brie and pepper jelly, feta and roasted pepper spread, Hawaiian, mozzarella/pesto/Turkey, and original Nutella/strawberry/banana. All were delicious!!!! My daughter did not get sick. We spoke to the owner during our second visit. Her sister has celiac and was inspiration for the menu. Completely trust this restaurants precautions and knowledge.

We were a little disappointed here because we were told they couldn’t do anything except clean the griddle. For example, all the ingredients were touched by the staff regardless of allergies. We decided to try the Nutella, and we were lucky enough to watch her make it. She did a great job - clean gloves, separately cleaned griddle to one side and a brand new jar of Nutella. The waitress just wasn’t interested in helping us at all, or I think the experience may have been different. She had no interest in asking about ingredients from the back. The cook, however, knew what she was doing. Very disappointed in the group of girls who were seating you and taking your order. They were more interested in socializing than helping guests. Not sure I’d go back.

Loved the food and the cooks were very careful about making sure the food was safe to eat. However, the waitress was very rude and had no interest in helping see if anything was gluten free/had extra ingredients. I asked another waitress and she said they can make anything gf! I asked if my waitress had any unopened ingredients to prevent cross-contamination, and she didn’t even look. She was more interested in talking to her friends than helping the customers. That being said, I loved the food and the cooks were excellent at making sure I was safe! Will be back here again!

Everything was delicious and we were assured it was made gluten free. Not long after leaving I was sick to my stomach. Will not be going back.

Asked for the gluten free crepe, waiter assured me it was gluten free and it was most definitely not.

Staff was so incredibly friendly and welcoming!!! The food was delicious and almost everything could be made gluten free. They took great precautions. I felt safe eating here and can’t wait to go back!

Incredibly knowledgeable staff, I hadn’t had a crepe in over 4 years and it was soooo good! Everything on the menus can be made gluten free!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is delicious! They have a separate areas for GF crepes and you can watch them prepare your food which eliminates any anxiety you might have.

Delicious gluten free crepe batter, can make pretty much anything on the menu gluten free. I always ask for the allergy prep and they make it on a separate skillet. So far I have always felt fine when eating there! Everything is delicious!
