We got the tundra scramble and the cluck norris, both were great (but the cluck norris was better.) The hash browns and toast (separate toaster) were also safe and yummy! No reactions to anything we ate, and the staff were knowledgeable. DEFINITELY make a reservation.

The staff was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. Our celiac son asked for a hot chocolate and they thought it should be gluten free so we went ahead and ordered it. The staff came back a few minutes later showing me a picture of the ingredients to make sure we’re okay with it since it said it may contain wheat and then offered to make him a special hot chocolate with steamed milk and dark chocolate syrup instead so we didn’t have to risk it. We’re always incredibly grateful for restaurants and staff who would take our celiac needs seriously. This place is packed the moment they open in the morning but they don’t take shortcuts re quality. Love it.

Ate here 4 times while in anchorage. Almost everything can be made gluten free and it’s all really good! They have a separate toaster for the bread. If have celiac tell them you have an allergy and they’ll change their gloves, etc

DELICIOUS! Despite being crazy busy because of summer tourism, I felt it was very safe and I enjoyed one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! The menu has items that *are GF and items that *can be made GF, I really appreciated the distinction on that. I went with ones that are GF just out of caution and got an omelet to take with me for later and the Heart Attack on a Plate 😂 to eat there- both were phenomenal! They use a separate bread toaster for GF bread which is awesome!

Amazing food! Lots of options for both gluten free and vegan food. I had an omelette and a smoothie bowl (açaí bowl). Both tested gluten free with Nima. And of course the food was amazing! I wish I could go there again but unfortunately just had a short stay in anchorage.

My husband and I went around 9am during the week and it was so busy, which has to mean it’s delicious right! Well it was excellent!! Waiter knew everything that was gf and there are a ton of options on the menu that are marked gf. You have to order the raspberry white chocolate mocha hot oh my gosh it’s fantastic!! I ordered the breakfast burrito. They make it into tacos for gf option which is better in my opinion. Their hash browns are naturally gf and are to die for. All in all new favorite place!!😍😍

I had an absolutely horrible reaction here, the manager was barely apologetic and said they cannot guarantee anything is truly gluten free.

I ordered an veggie omelette (labeled as GF on menu), told them it was for a gluten allergy, the ticket said allergy on it as well, however I still reacted. The manager said she believes they cooked me something else because it also came with some pieces of meat inside to my surprise... I still have no idea how I could've reacted as bad as I did ordering an omelette. They clearly have some serious cross contamination going on there, or just carelessness.

I will never go back again.

This place was very busy, but still provided excellent service and answered all of my questions. I was a bit disappointed that their reindeer sausage isn't safe for celiacs. They list it as a gf item, but the server told me that it does contain trace amounts of gluten so she only recommends it for those who are less sensitive. I still give it five stars because she went out of her way to let me know that and was absolutely phenomenal. Good selection of gf items, gluten free toast, and they have a whole hot sauce bar! Just be careful, some of those sauces are INTENSE.

I LOVE this place! I have Celiac and must adhere to a strict gluten free diet. They have several items on the menu that are indicated as gluten free, and others that can be made gluten free. I've always been impressed with their service and how aware and helpful they are regarding not only the gluten free issue but other allergies my kids have. Super impressed! I have eaten there dozens of times and have never been glutened. I highly recommend them for those with Celiac!
