In town visiting college age son with my two daughters with celiac. It is rare to find someplace we feel comfortable especially for breakfast food. This place was amazing. Separate gluten free waffle iron, separate gluten free griddle. They said there were only two things on menu they couldn’t do gluten free (biscuits and I forget the other). Food was delicious. One daughter did a waffle with home fries and the other did pancakes. Both were delicious and everyone felt good. All gluten free meals served on a blue plate.

My husband & I have always loved eating here. Then when I became gluten free, I was limited to what I could choose on the menu. I was tired of egg dishes. One day, we walked in & the specials board said gluten free French toast. I can’t remember what flavor they were, but they were delicious! Then I noticed that all of their regular gluten options came in gluten free as well. Now we love it even more!

At here once and the food was delicious but was unable to eat the rest of the day and the next day due to upset stomach and vomiting. Tried it again but mu celiac child has been sick the after eating here. It doesn't seem safe for people with celiac.

They have so many options which is so liberating to see! I LOVED the waffles- first time I’ve had fresh waffles since going gluten free. This restaurant knows what they are doing when it comes to gluten free and it all seems to happen very smoothly! Breakfast is served all day (only open until 3) but there are also lunch options available!

Love this place!! They know their stuff. Almost anything on the menu can be made gf. And gf meals are always served on a blue plate so everyone from the kitchen to the waitstaff know it is gf and there is no cross contamination.

My go to spot for gluten free breakfast and lunch! A cute small family diner. The GF options are written on a chalkboard. I love their gluten free chicken tenders.

We had a good meal but only after we had to change our order several times because things like "gluten free chicken tenders" were fried in everything oil. Thank god I asked! If it is advertised as GF they should put an asterisk if it isn't prepared in a separate way. I'll go back cause my husband loved his meal, but be careful!

Uncertain how my son's gluten free toast was cooked but he is complaining about stomach pains.

The rest of our meals appear to have been celiac safe.

They have a knowledgeable staff and even a cook with Celiac disease so you know you're in good hands! Great food options including Belgian waffles, pancakes, French toast and chicken fingers!! Prices are very reasonable as well. I don't feel like I will be broke broke after feeding a family of 4 here!

We just stumbled upon this place today and it's such an amazing find for a REAL gf breakfast! Gf pancakes, waffles, toast, English muffins, the list goes on! I couldn't help myself and ordered both the signature hash breakfast and a caramel banana waffle and they were both amazing! It's such a treat to find somewhere I can actually order delicious carbs instead of plain old eggs. The owner has celiac in the family so they are very knowledgeable and prep in sep. areas and even have a sep. waffle iron. Definitely check it out!

Fabulous find. Perfect place for a gluten free breakfast or lunch. We stopped there after finding it on Find Me GF and they have an extensive gfree menu. They made us feel very comfortable that our meal would be safe and it was. We will definitely go there again.

Such a happy find! Celiac friendly (they even have a separate area for prep with toasters and such)! I ordered the gf waffle, gf pancakes, gf English muffin, eggs, and sausage. Everything was seriously delicious. My gluten loving family really enjoyed their breakfast too! We didn't order any but they do have gf sandwiches, burgers and wraps so that's something we'll have to come back for. The owners have family members that have to eat gluten free which is why they are so careful!
