Red Bicycle Coffee & Crepes

My bf loved his sandwich (with gluten) but my gf cinnamon roll crepes were ass. Undercooked, doughy, and a sad excuse for filling. Based off other reviews, it’s probably usually pretty good. Just don’t get the cinnamon roll crepes and you may not have to throw it away like I did.

Crepes were amazing and had no cross contamination issues. I told them this was for a GF allergy and they went through their procedures with me. No issues with cross contamination.

Staff isn’t very knowledgeable on true celiac. For instance, all bread is toasted in the same area and corn tortilla tacos are on same space as flour. They will wash the pan prior to making a GF crepe for you, however, I still feel poorly and may have had some cross contamination even with that. I would just stick with coffee if you are celiac and going here.

The folks here were super nice and knowledgeable. The person that took my order asked if it was an allergy and she assured me that it would be cleaned before use. The crepes were amazing and tasty. When staff delivered the food to our table they knew mine was gf. Would absolutely return very safe.

Fantastic food and large selection to choose from! They were very careful to ask about cross contamination and even latte milk selection. I recommend!

I made my own crepe. All veggies with egg and avocado. It was delicious. They can make any crepe gluten-free. They were very knowledgeable about celiac. Definitely eat here if you’re in Nashville.

We ordered the Hamilton crepe, the Pizza crepe, the Wake Up and the Funky Monkey crepe. The Funky Monkey was an amazing dessert and the Pizza and Hamilton very delicious!! The Wake Up was okay, but a bit dry.

We have ate her multiple times and the food is amazing and the chai tea is wonderful. A relative of the owner has celiac disease so they are knowledgable and do a great job!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I stopped in while traveling through Nashville on my way home from vacation. I ordered the Mexi crepe off of staff recommendation. It was phenomenal! I was honestly terrified that they had mixed up and given me a glutened crepe because it was almost too good! I did not get sick at all! Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Shared surfaces and utensils that were wiped down... don’t order it trust the staff

Celiac friendly?

No

Definitely a very contaminated kitchen area with employees being very questionable on proper allergy precautions.

Celiac friendly?

No

EDIT (5 star to 1 star review): I went in recently after not having gone for a while and asked about their gf crepes. They said they can wipe down the crepe maker but they don’t have a dedicated one. I left without ordering anything because it doesn’t sound safe now.

AMAZING! Ordered the Basic Sweet Crepe (sugar, butter, cinnamon) for the first time - it was so good I thought for sure that they had messed up and given me a gluteny one instead. Still feeling great 24 hours later! As I was heading out, one of the baristas even ran up to stop me and ask how I was feeling. Amazing to find what appears to be one of the few celiac-safe places in Nashville! Can't wait to go back and try more!

Celiac friendly?

No

It was good. I didn’t get sick.... my husband still eats gluten and the girl who delivered it to the table told me the wrong one was gluten. I took it up and asked because we had ordered different meals just in case. And we switched. If we had gotten the same thing I would have definitely been sick. But it was easily corrected

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Crepes can all be made with rice flour. Fresh fruit. Iced Chai tea. Delicious! Ate here with my son for Easter. Staff were amazing with their gluten free knowledge. Will come here often!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love love love this place! Had breakfast here twice on a girls weekend trip. Staff is so friendly and asked if it was an allergy, and took extra precautions. Food was amazing too. Wish the Nutella crepe could travel home with me!

So awesome we went twice in a 3 day weekend! All the crepes can be made gf. Staff was great. Had mexi crepe and banana foster one day. Basil Aioli crepe and bacon, maple apple next day. (yes, I shared!) loved all of them!

Cute place! All crepes can be made gluten free and they even asked if they needed to sanitize the grill, which made me feel super comfortable. Tasty but too much food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am super sensitive and have never had a problem. Also, it's delicious! One crepe is definitely enough, and I suggest the funky monkey! So good!

Breakfast rice flour dairy free crepes... and they are delicious... Breakfast is served open til close.

Food was amazing! I told them I had celiac and they took precautions. I ordered the basic crepe(cinnamon, sugar, butter) and the Nutella crepe. They were both delicious! Service was great and I would definitely come back again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Crapes were very filling and large. delicious!

I ordered a gluten-free crepe and mentioned that I had celiac. The chef actually brought my food out, rather than the server. He assured me that he had sterilized all utensils and the grill. I know that some people feel like this isn't enough if you have celiac, but I am newly diagnosed and don't have gastrointestinal symptoms of cross contamination at this time, so I can't really speak to cross contamination. I was impressed with the assurance from the chef that it was gluten-free and every thing was cleaned.

Only had coffee but it was delish!!

All of their crepes can be made gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tasted good until I got sick. If you're affected by cross-contamination, skip Red Bicycle. Unfortunately, I don't know of someplace in town with safe crepes. Guess it's time to learn how to make them at home!

Celiac friendly?

No

Went in and asked if GF crepes are cooked on seperate grill, no they are not, the girl behind counter said all they do us wipe it down so not good enough for someone with celiacs in my opinion

Celiac friendly?

No

GF crepe--pretty good but slightly dry. Staff was friendly and helpful. Griddle was cleaned off before they made my crepe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutlly Great Crepes. I wish this place was up north. Great breakfast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food. Yes, there was a bit of a wait, and yes, our plates did come about 5 mins apart. But, that is a testament to how popular the place is. The food is made individually and that takes time. I'm sure they could have held all our plates til it was all ready, but then some of us would have been eating cold food. And since we went for breakfast, that would've meant cold eggs. No thanks. As for whether or not it's gluten free as opposed to made with non gluten ingredients, I honestly didn't pay attention. I've been gf for 14+ years and I am of the stance that if you are that sensitive, you should stick to eating at home or in dedicated gf restaurants. Our time is limited in Nashville, but if we lived here, I'd gladly eat here again

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing

Was traveling in Nashville and used the Find Me GF app to find this place.

1. Great little coffee shop in Germantown part of Nashville

2. Food is excellent. The fruit is fresh and the eggs, avocado and crepes are good as well.

3. SERVICE IS HORRENDOUS! It took 35 minutes to get my food. When i asked the employees what was up, they said it will be out shortly. had to wait another 10 minutes.

4. they brought 1/2 the order first, then later ( 10 more minutes). Ridiculous

Bottom line - food is good, service is poor. Employees don't care. DON'T EAT HERE IF YOU ARE REMOTELY ON ANY KIND OF TIME CONSTRAINED SCHEDULE

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great little place worth finding. Yummy GF crepes, we had the cinnamon roll and florentine. Try the Cuban coffee drink!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have enjoyed delicious food at the Red Bicycle four times. My daughter & I both had slight reactions two of those times. During the last visit, I discovered that the staff "sanitizes" the grill for GF crepes. The chef showed me the circular grill which had been "sanitized." It is an 18" diameter circular grill that is one-half of a 2 disc grill set. The "GF" grill is separated by about 2 inches of space. I find it difficult to believe that the wheat flour would not splash on to the disc next to it. I'm opting to have my crepe ingredients put on a salad from now on.

Celiac friendly?

No

Made our gf on a clean pan. The gf pizza crepe was sooooo good! They even had gf brownies! No reaction and the food was great!

They use the same equipment for their "gluten free" crepes as they do for their regular crepes. The girl told me they "sanitize" the pans and looked at me blankly when I tried to explain that gluten is not bacteria. Celiacs beware!!

Celiac friendly?

No

My family and I stopped here on our way through Nashville back in March and I've been craving their crepes ever since. I'll be in Nashville in December and I can't wait to get some crepes and coffee here!!! We shared a variety of savory and sweet crepes and ALL were delicious. We were glad we had a cooler because we had leftovers to go - the portions are huge.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went here for dinner and not only did they have gluten free crepes, but they offered to make a fresh batch of dairy free, gluten free crepes for me! The chicken buffalo (without cheese) was incredible. So glad we found them!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I went very out of my way to go here and it was absolutely worth it. So delicious! (Had the BBQ chicken). They clean everything before prepping gf food. A lot of options too. Great atmosphere and free wifi.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing creeps for everyone. I'm just here for 48hrs but I'm going back! Yummy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was a little nervous after reading a review that the person got sick from cross contamination. I asked when I got there and was told they wash the grill and all the utensils. I'm very sensitive and had no reaction.... It was delicious!!

Decent crepes, but not the best gluten-free crepes I've had. Great coffee.
