My daughter and I split the pancakes & French toast. Both very good. She actually ate the French toast without syrup. Bacon was also thick and crispy. We are both pretty sensitive with celiacs and no issues. Staff was knowledgeable and brought ours out separately from the two gluten orders at our table.

Ordered the gluten free açaí pancakes and I got SO sick two hours later. The waiter even said gluten free when he brought the pancakes to the table so I’m not sure if they confused plates or if the açaí pancakes just aren’t gluten free.

They're gluten free French toast is yummy! I didn't even add syrup to it. I have gluten free acai pancakes that I haven't eaten yet but they look delicious. They're chicken sausage is great and their bacon is nice and thick. Their breakfast comes with fresh fruit too.

This is the best breakfast I have ever had. Gluten free bread was to die for. Im always disappointed with breakfast until now. You must go here!!! By the way it's coffee heaven. If you are a coffee addict you will be in paradise.

The server said the omelettes are cooked in a separate pan so probably one of the safer items. My celiac son had a Denver omlette and liked it. He had the GF toast on the side another day and was fine. We have eaten here with 2 celiac people at least 4x, and never had any issue. They also offer GF French toast.

Had a delicious omelet with fruit. Gluten free bread is toasted on the same griddle as the other bread. Some items marked gluten free (waffles, pancakes) but would be worried about cross contamination here.

Good variety options, I ordered a sandwich with gluten free bread. Bread was toasted when I got it and I had the server double check it wasn't toasted in a gluten toaster but it was. She was very kind, but clearly did not know about gluten free. I asked them to remake it not toasted and the bread fell apart almost instantly. I was very disappointed as I was told this place was very good for gluten free :(

This is the one place I know I can eat and feel ok after. I always get the Popeyes omelette and ham fries and gluten free toast. Aside from the toast being a touch on the brown side for me, it's awesome every time.
