The Potholder Cafe

This was the best breakfast we’ve had in a long time! Everything was delicious, and there were plenty of gluten free options for our son. Gluten free waffles and pancakes! He had plenty to eat, and they made sure to note that he had an allergy. Very attentive, food was delicious, and service was expedient.

Food is prepared on the same surface as food with wheat. I asked my gluten free pancakes to be prepared on a separate surface. I was told it was. I still got sick. Do not go here.

Very nice, outdoor seating. Proper COVID precautions.

I got the gluten free waffle which was very thick and filling but also a little bland. So add fruit or chocolate chips. I got scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. Everything tasted great.

TL;DR: If you’re just avoiding gluten casually, this place is GREAT. If you have any actual sensitivity, RUN AWAY.

My friends love the food here and showed me their GF menu, so I came along. But then I was advised by the manager that it is impossible to prepare food safely. It took 1/2 hour for my server to actually find this out.

SO BEWARE: Staff is friendly but does NOT understand food allergies enough to be helpful.

Celiac friendly?

No

They are NOT gluten free! They cook everything in the same area and use the same utensils. The chef refused to even wash out a separate pan for us to cook the eggs in. He said he would only wipe it out. Thankfully the waitress warned us of this or we would have been contaminated for sure. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE CELIAC. You will wait 45 minutes just to have them tell you they cannot accommodate you. We had to leave and go elsewhere. should really be zero stars....

Celiac friendly?

No

I just spoke with them and they use the same waffle iron and cooking surfaces for regular food and GF and don't do anything to prevent cross-contamination. Celiacs beware!
