Had a lovely lunch here. They take GF very seriously and are set up for it. Located right in the middle of the shopping area with nice outdoor (and indoor) seating. Fast friendly service.

Waiter was knowledgeable about what was available gluten free and how things were made. For example, separate toaster for gf bread, English muffins or bagels. Separate waffle maker for gf. No Gf pancakes or French toast but plenty other options. I had an omelette which was huge and tasty with a toasted muffin. My sister, also celiac, ordered a sandwich with ham and Brie. Non-celiac family member had fish tacos. All enjoyed meals. Server who brought food out also confirmed gluten free plates. No side effects after eating. Would recommend for breakfast or lunch.

I read about this place and had been wanting waffles. I asked my server if they actually had both the dedicated waffle maker and the dedicated toaster, turns out they did. I am severe celiac and went here two days in a row without getting sick. It is delicious and I’m very impressed! Highly recommend for celiacs!

I am very sensitive celiac. I went here based on reviews here and was not disappointed. I had a GF waffle prepared on dedicated waffle maker and a side of fruit. Our server was knowledgeable and confirmed the waffle maker was dedicated. I will definitely be back for their GF toast or bagel.

Addendum-went back for breakfast another day and had their avocado smash toast on toasted GF bread! Confirmed toaster is dedicated.

The staff answered all my questions- dedicated waffle machine, dedicated toaster, plenty of GF options and they even showed the options for things like pancake syrup to review the ingredients to be safe. On my trip to Naples, I’ve had breakfast here three times and feel great. Also the food is SO fresh.

Waitress was very knowledgeable and said they had gf toast, bagels, oatmeal, and granola and that almost anything could be made gluten free if I just asked. I got the eggs Benedict on gf toast and it was kind of a small portion but really good! Didn’t get sick

I wasn’t impressed. I asked the waiter if they had a separate gluten free menu. He said we have bread and English muffins ? I said I read on the web you have other choices too bye said we are not dedicated gluten free. I ordered eggs over medium with an English muffin. The muffin was horrible.

Gluten free bread, bagels, and English muffins available with breakfast and sandwiches. Very accommodating of our family's gluten free and dairy allergies.

** updated 12/28/18 I am SO happy to share that The Cafe is now open for dinner (during season) Wednesday- Saturday nights. This dinner is the hidden gem of Naples. The menu is not pages upon pages, but I have tried each item that can be gluten (and even dairy) free and everything is great. My favorite is the Brussels Sprout & Kale salad and the Lion Medallions with Brown rice. They are super flexible/accommodating with making the kids food they will eat. My 2yo loves the carne taco meat and a side of rice. You absolutely will not regret going to dinner here in addition to their breakfast and lunch.

Went here for breakfast and had an amazing meal. They have a gluten free toaster so ordering bagels and English muffins and rolls is possible (they are udis we think). Almost all of the menu can be adapted gluten free. Lunch and breakfast menu is served from open to close.

The waiter said the entire menu can be made gf except for the pancakes and today’s Soup. It’s pricy but I expected it would be considering it was on the Main restaurant row of an expensive area, Naples.

This place was amazing! The servers were really helpful and they have a dedicated space for everything. Fresh squeezed juices, awesome sandwiches (even for breakfast!). My non-gf friends loved it, too. I'm a Celiac and didn't even get slightly sick. They certainly know what they're doing!

They were knowledgable about what is gf. They had gf bread, English muffins, bagels and tortillas. I took a bite and had to double check that it was gf because it tasted so good. The lady at the table next to me also had Celiacs and she said her eggs Benedict was great. I would definitely go again. Also prepared in seperate area.
