The Bees Knees Bistro

This cozy cafe and coffee place recently opened and it’s absolutely amazing. The nice selection of gluten free breakfast and lunch items are clearly marked on the menu. When I ordered GF pancakes, I told our server I’m celiac. She told me the kitchen has a dedicated GF flat top grill leaving almost no chance of contamination, but wanted to check with me anyway. I was impressed. I appreciated a kitchen team that was taking my gluten allergy seriously! The environment felt welcoming to celiacs overall. Those pancakes were hands down the *best* I’ve ever had, gluten or not. That’s a lot coming from a New Englander with pancake experience in VT, NH, and MA! I haven’t been there for lunch yet but the salads I saw on their Instagram look out of this world. Highly recommend! This is a gem of a place for celiacs in a town and surrounding area without many GF options.
