Love that everything for gluten free stuff is completely separate! Nothing that touches gluten will touch the gluten free stuff. Every crepe they offer can be made with a gluten free crepe. I was so upset when I thought I couldn’t have French Twist anymore, the gluten free crepes are still delicious!

Many savory and sweet options! Gluten free crepes are made on a dedicated cooking surface in a separate area from regular ones. Many coffee options as well. Fun, casual place with both indoor and outdoor seating, delicious food and a very welcoming staff.

Delicious crepes, both savory and sweet! There is a dedicated area where a chef works for the gluten free crepes. Additionally, the chef takes fresh ingredients from the back so that there is the smallest chance of contamination as possible. Everyone is super friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and service is quick. I'll be visiting this locally owned business regularly!

Have a gf prep area and grill with gf batter. I wasn't overly impressed with the taste of the batter. The waitress said it was not celiac friendly, but they do offer some ingredients from a separate prep, such as the fresh fruit and Nutella. The meats, cheese, and veggies can easily be cross contaminated.

I absolutely loved visiting this lovely cafe! It was located in the cute town of Sykesville, in a perfect little blue house. The porch seating was perfect one of the first sunny and warm days of spring! To top it all off, the gluten free crepe was absolutely perfect and super filling! Overall, an amazing experience. This GF girl is definitely going back!

FANTASTIC gluten free crêpes! I love this place, run by a native French woman. I am not celiac, but I suspect it is celiac friendly, as they cook at a whole station dedicated to gluten free.

Located in historic Sykesville. A lovely location, friendly staff, and best of all they do gluten free crepes! The staff was helpful and answered all my questions. Explained they use all separate ingredients, utensils and cooktop for gluten free customers. I will definitely go back and highly recommend. A delicious treat.
