Side Street Cafe

The quality of the ingredients in my breakfast was top-notch. Unfortunately the service was poor. I asked for GF bread and they brought out regular bread, so you have to be alert. They have a GF menu which includes GF toast, GF pancakes, and GF French toast. When they brought out my food, it was barely above room temperature so I had them microwave the potatoes. It was a very busy and popular spot though on a Saturday morning for breakfast.

The food here is excellent. One of my favorite breakfast places for close to a decade. I recently went for the first time post-Celiac diagnosis, excited about their breakfast options. They have bread, french toast, pancakes. I got the GF pancake combo with blueberries in my pancakes eggs and turkey sausage. Made the eggs perfect, every time I ask for over medium places seem to either give me over easy or over cooked eggs. Not here! Seems like they use quality pasture raised eggs, at least going on taste. They just have that richness. Turkey sausage was great. pancakes were good, not the best GF pancakes I’ve had but definitely hit the spot as I had a craving. I am not 100% on the safety of this place though. The server didn’t quite know what I meant when I said I had a gluten allergy was, I had to make sure she clarified that with the kitchen. I did have some constipation and heartburn for a day or two after which could have been from gluten, or just from eating pancakes and sausage which are not my usual diet. I’d probably go back, I’m just not 100% sure.
