Very good soup & sandwich. GF safe practices when discussed with server. Amazing GF Lemon curd blueberry cake with several other desserts available.

Simon’s has some gf items, like salads or sandwiches with gf bread if you specify. Occasionally, however, they feature a gf, vegan raw lasagne that’s amazing. I highly recommend it. Otherwise the chicken salad is my favorite. (Just tell them to hold the chunk of bread.) Important note: for sandwiches, they serve gf bread from Sami’s Bakery in Tampa.

Wow, staff is so incredibly nice and helpful. Everyone greeted me when I arrived and patiently walked me through the menu and showed me all the gluten-free options. I opted for a simple breakfast, but they are very willing to go off of the menu to create anything you would like. I will definitely be back here again!

Plenty of good choices for gluten free-- including desserts. New ownership honoring the founder's traditions.

I ordered a sandwich on what was supposed to be gluten-free bread. I never got so violently sick before this. Within a short amount of time, all that food came right back out! So for celiac‘s, I would say this place is not a safe option.

We were told this was a great place for gluten free, but it is Definitely not for celiacs. They will not go to the extra effort to avoid cross contamination.

Very laid-back café & good for our vegan daughter, but they said their gluten-free options are only for people on elective diets, not celiacs. They said they could not guarantee no cross-contamination so I couldn’t eat there.

I didn’t find many options for GF at all. They are more for health conscious people than for GF. We had maybe 2 options.

Fantastic place for your average health conscience person . Average for gluten free . Very limited options . But , they do have some options including bread . Good for breakfast or a sandwich but I wouldn't go here for the gluten free baked goods ( definitely below average ) . They coffee is good and the staff is friendly , knowledgable and understanding .
