I’ve been glutened here twice within the past year which left me sick for days! They gave me whole wheat toast one time when I specified gluten free celiac many times. I also got sick from when they used my gluten free bread in a normal toaster! Do not trust them anymore :(

Notified them I was celiac. Personally watched the cook handle bread and cut bread and then touch my food. Don’t eat here if you’re celiac.

The gf bread was freshly baked, the dish was excellent, and there was an allergy marker on the plate. Perfect!

I always have the Swedish Pancakes with Lingonberries and butter. Absolutely delicious!!! You are also welcome to help yourselves to the numerous bowls of various berries, fruits and whipped cream available at the counter. I have never had an issue with these pancakes. They are made with tapioca flour and cornstarch.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten breakfast here several times now and never had a problem. I always double-check that they’re toasting my bread in a GF toaster and I request a new/clean jar of jam, and they’ve always been happy to oblige. I haven’t tried pancakes or French toast, though - only classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the best gf breakfast here on a recent visit to Seattle. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes, with lemon/raspberry topping. It also included a trip to the breakfast bar which had fresh fruit. So nice to eat a real breakfast. More gf choices available.

My favorite restaurant for breakfast or brunch in Seattle. I always order the same item, Swedish Pancakes with Lingonberry Butter. Sooo good!! I’ve eaten at three of their locations and never had any problem.
