Delicious!

Gluten free options are plentiful - more than I ever expected from a brunch spot - and delicious (especially the raspberry pancakes!). They often have a couple gf baked goods in addition to the hot food on their menu. Also super cheap for GF (which is so often up charged way too much). Highly recommend!!!

We tried the gf vegan biscuits and gravy and the Reuben sandwich on gluten free bread. Both were very good, homage from scratch with fresh cooked vegetables. Also had gf rum butter banana bread that was delicious!

DELICIOUS!!! I ordered bagels and lox with GF toast instead of bagel, and my bf got regular French toast. I didn’t get sick and OMG it was Delicious! Great portion sizing, nicely packaged for takeout with online ordering on their site. Will definitely come again!

Based on the reviews, I was shocked when the staff didn’t know how to take proper precautions for my daughter with celiac. They advertise gluten free wraps for any sandwich but when the person who took our order asked the cooks about gluten allergy, the cooks didn’t speak a lot of English and they didn’t understand proper precautions or cooking her food separately. Because everything was so iffy about if it would be safe or not, we decided not to risk it, and took her next door to Chipotle.

Celiac friendly?

No extra charge for the gf pancakes, so that's a bonus in my eyes. Was unaware that my pancakes would be cinnamon, but I like that, so it was fine, but if you are not a fan, or have an issue with it, avoid them. The butter is also cinnamon. Or maybe it is allspice.

Staff was very friendly and bilingual. Food came out quick and just as ordered.

No complaints from this starving chica. :-)

Meh. I was pumped for this place, and when I saw biscuits and gravy on the menu as a gluten free option.. I was ecstatic. (It’s hard to find this meal anywhere) Well, the single biscuit was a crumbly, dry, dense lump that literally tasted like nothing. The gravy was also a huge letdown. It was watery and had a very faint flavor of something that wanted to be gravy. It was served with scrambled eggs and fried potatoes.

I will say it was a good portion of food. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll post a photo of the meal.

The location is cute, it had outdoor seating and was lovely. Perhaps someone will try something else that is tasty. I was in town for just a few days, so I won’t be returning.

GF pancakes, crepes and wraps. I was visiting and had crepes for lunch one day and pancakes for breakfast the next. Aware of cross contamination and accommodate well. Great service staff. Full menu of tea and coffee, too.

Very attentive and communicative when we mentioned our son’s celiac. Their GF pancakes are cooked on the same griddle as others, but they take care to clean it first.

Menu with options marked as GF. However, some of the things that aren’t marked GF can be made GF like the breakfast burrito that I got.
