Sowers Harvest Cafe

Great food and coffee. They have Gluten Free bread and made sure to take precautions on my sandwich. The GF baked goods were delicious also. Would definitely come back next time I’m here.

My daughter has Celiac, always nervous when traveling. The person who took my order was very attentive to the needs and communicated to the cook what was necessary! They understood gluten intolerance quite well.

First visit. Friendly staff, took allergy seriously. Atmosphere is great—cute and cozy, even had tables outside. Very good experience, tasty food, lots of gf options (even if the menu isn’t explicit, the staff told Is what was what). No issues. Will be our new go-to breakfast spot!

The staff didn't know what I could have as far as coffee and tea. If a restaurant says they cater to allergies and gf people I would hope their staff would be educated and know what I could eat and drink on the menu safely. Really made me feel defeated, like this was my first restaurant experience after being diagnosed all over again. Don't recommend.

August 21, 2019 - Lunch. Very disappointed with my experience. We had just dropped my daughter off at college and we used their high reviews on this app to pick a GF place to eat in State College, PA. I ordered a spicy chicken salad with blue cheese dressing. Their menu was clear that this could be made GF. At one point, they called my name and asked me if my GF order needed to be GF or if it was a preference. I told them that I had Celiac's disease and would be violently ill. They remade my salad again and did not keep it GF. They asked me if my wife would mind that spicy chicken added to her Greek chicken salad instead of being wasted. She said OK. The third try, I thought that they finally nailed it. Unfortunately, within a half an hour I was violently ill and by the time we were driving through Altoona, I was stuck in a bathroom of the gas station. I should have called the manager after the second time they screwed up the order. I also should have had better sense than to eat something that took them three tries to make without screwing up. BEWARE!

This is by far one of the best places I’ve been to downtown. I’ve dragged several friends along with me and have never received a single complaint. They offer several gluten free options, including a gluten free panini(?) which can be utilized with any of their listed panini combos. It’s so good! I’m pretty sensitive and would recommend this place to any celiac. Very nice atmosphere too.

Yes

So friendly and helpful! Ate here three times. Had a salad, smoothie, and two paninis with no problems. Recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They don't label there omlets gf because they cook french toast near by but nother shares the pan with the eggs. After this long talk I still had to send back the first plate because they put a slice of toast on it. Next time they offered gf toast from a separate press. Just be clear going in but they are accommodating and know their stuff.

Excellent food and service. GF aware and menu offerings.

Clean and friendly! Very busy. The person at the counter didn't clearly state they had a gluten free press for the sandwiches- found out a little later. They do have gluten free muffins and cookies that are made separately. Was afraid to order sandwich but would try it next time.

Incredibly nice and well informed - very lucky to find this place on my visit to State College PA

Super cute little cafe. Very knowledgeable staff. Lots of yummy choices on their homemade GF bread. A couple muffin, cookie options. Worth it! In the alley behind the street with off street meter parking.

Grilled sandwiches are delicious, order two.

The food was great! They have cookies, bread, and cupcakes that are gluten free.

Many gluten free options! Had the egg and cheese omelet it was yummy.

Good food and lots of options. Paninis were yummy!

Excellent gluten free food and friendly, well-informed staff. The staff will ask you if you have a gluten allergy/intolerance when you order something gluten free - you just need to let them know if they don't ask. They will make every effort to prepare it in a gluten free work space.

I had the gluten free Turkey Apple Cheddar Panini. I highly recommend it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've ordered the apple turkey and cheddar cheese panini and it was delicious! Dollar upcharge for GF bread, but well worth it. Ordered an organic mango and pineapple smoothie, also delicious. They have everything marked that is GF, as well as some other allergens. Not sure if celiac friendly.

Super friendly staff willing to make almost any sandwich on the menu gluten free. First good hot gluten free sandwich I've had in s long time!
