Have never had a bad meal! Everything is great! You have to get the spinach artichoke dip!! My daughter has celiac disease and they have a PB&J on GF bread on the kids menu, which she gets every time. We tell our waitress to make a note of her celiac to the chef and we have never had a problem! They mark GF options on their menu.

I ordered takeout and it was very good. I was the only customer at the time and the kitchen was not making other orders so I felt very safe. When I asked if they cleaned or changed gloves she asked if I was celiac and that she could note that in the order which I was very happy about. I am curious what their procedure is when other meals are being made though.

This is one of my favorite places to eat. I love all of the GF options. I usually order the GF turkey reuben or the curry stir fry with tempeh. I have never been sick after eating there. The GF key lime pie is great.

Great food... great atmosphere.... great service.... Unfortunately, the food was not safe to the degree that my family needs to stay well. We got the classic signs of being glutened after eating here on the way to the beach after eating here - our other meals/snacks were all certified gluten free from home, so we are certain this meal is what did us in.

We eat here often. GF items are notated on the menu. Even if not on the menu, they have prepared a special dish for me. They are owned by the same persin who owns the adjacent health food store, so they can use a wide variety of GF products in the cafe. GF desserts change daily, but there go to is the GF flourless chocolate cake/torte
