Review of The Penguin

I know there’s already a ton of reviews here, but they’re just that good!! I am EXTREMELY sensitive, even to cross contamination, so it’s often hard to find places to eat. However, I’ve eaten here 3 times with no issue, and I’m so glad I found it! Out of their entire menu, breakfast and lunch, the only thing that CAN’T be made gluten free are the pancakes. Getting so many safe options is amazing!! I particularly love the French toast :) super sweet and helpful staff - they even often knowingly ask if I have celiac when I mention gluten free, and ensure they add notes to my order and it even comes out separately, before the rest of the table’s food to ensure it stays un-contaminated. They usually do carry out, but currently do not because of being short staffed. However, the service inside is still friendly, fast, and overall phenomenal.
