Review of The Encounter Cafe

Overall Rating

Review


This is a gluten friendly place. I see others have reviewed and said there are a lot of options for celiac so here are details of what we learned. French toast can be made with Gf bread is dipped in same batter as regular bread so just be aware it’s not ok for celiac. They have a couple of Gf muffin options as available/if not sold out. They do not have gf pancakes (previous reviews who indicated they do were from 2 years ago so maybe that’s just a change they made more recently). They do have really good Gf bread so any breakfast or lunch sandwich can be made Gf. They change gloves and keep Gf items separate as much as possible. They have good simple fruit smoothies. Coffee is great, very kind and friendly atmosphere.
