Good option for lunch! The chicken kabobs were excellent and GF. Waitress was very knowledgeable. Most baked good are not gluten free, but this is to be expected! For a non-gluten free establishment I felt safe and had multiple options on the menu.

Selection is limited. Kabobs are GF and that was stellar. A couple desserts, tarts. Nothing baked like croissants.

I choose the sweet potato and veggie burger. This option is gluten free and dairy free. It was the only option besides the salads. I choose to not get the ciabatta bread with it because it contained gluten. I also eat the fruit cup which is one of their sides. I did not get a reaction and I didn't sick. They need more GF options.

No GF options at all. Don't know why it's on here. Wasted 2.00 parking to find out there are no options and the cooks couldn't accommodate

The hostess was the rudest person I’ve ever come across in a restaurant. However, the manager, Dylan, was exceptionally kind and helpful. My sister and I have celiac and he went above and beyond to make sure our meal was safe. We both got omelettes.

This is a bakery that has no GF baked goods. You would not expect this to be a safe place to eat. However, the cafe has amazing kabobs that are made on a grill that only cooks meat and veggies. They have several other main dishes that also are GF. If you have a wheat allergy like I do, you may have trouble with a mild reaction from the bread on the table, but I have never gotten glutened here.
