I had to stop eating here last year after being glutened 3 times in 2 months, sadly. After the place changed hands, it’s been kinda dicey. Most of the familiar faces working here have gone and each time I came in, they were all new faces except one or two in the back. Maybe I’ll try this place again sometime, but not yet.

The Mediterranean omelet was great, as well as the gluten free pancake. Lots of options on the menu.

We chose the place due to the high gluten free ratings. My wife has both celiac and dairy allergies, which she told the waitress when she ordered the maple turkey sandwich with GF bread, no cheese or butter. When we received the order, the bread (couldn’t tell if GF) had been buttered and grilled. When this was mentioned they took it back and replaced the sandwich with un-grilled bread that appeared to be GF. They either used the same plate or got it cross contaminated as she got very sick within one hour. We won’t be back.

I just had a fantastic gluten free breakfast here: pancakes, hash, eggs, home fries. Lots of options! The meal and service were exceptional. The waitress even offered to give me the water to go. My new favorite breakfast place! Will be back to try the lunch.

Decided to stop here on my way to VT because of all the great reviews but I must be really picky because although I didn’t get sick from eating here I did not think their food was that great compared to all of the other reviews. Their gf pancakes were not good to me at all. The Udi’s bread was hard as a rock and so was their shredded hash browns. The only thing that saved it for me was the bacon. To top it all off the service was extremely slow.

I can’t say enough about this gem. We were just passing through town yet felt like family. GF needs are beautifully accommodated: my Celiac daughter and celiac self split avocado toast and harvest French toast...absolutely delicious. Love that the 3 breakfast-eaters in our clan could enjoy the full bfast menu while the one holdout could happily eat from the lunch menu, even on a weekday.
