The Red Bud Cafe

I ordered the Drago’s Thai Crepe with gluten free batter ($2.50 extra) but it was a bit dry and bland. It could be better if there was a savory sauce. The crepe was served on a wooden surface but I don’t think this would be safe for sensitive celiacs as it was scratched up and seemed likely to have gluten remnants trapped in the wood. The surface the crepe is cooked on is shared with the gluten crepes as well so cross contamination may be an issue here. I am asymptomatic so I can’t vouch for reactions. I will still come back to try other menu items.

They have plently of gluten free and vegan options. They have gluten free toast too so anything with toast you can get substituted. The gluten free bread is very different from the sourdough (more thin) but it was my personal preference so I was happy with it. Overall it was really good:) We went two mornings back to back on breakfast for vacation

AMAZING! I had a savory crepe- ham & cheese- really yummy! Great espresso and iced tea. Even better- they take great care to make sure your meal is GF safe; they clean the grill for GF & use new, clean cloth & utensils, separate oil, etc. I felt very GF safe here, had no reactions and would totally eat here again. They use high end ingredients, not too much oil nor too much salt, etc. Everyone is so nice & The owner, Gordona, is very kind and personable. Highly recommend!

I asked about the GF crepes. They said they clean one of the surfaces usually used for cooking regular crepes. It's a tiny area and no precautions seemed to be in place for celiac. Additionally the server was not very communicative. I did not feel safe, so I did not eat. I got an espresso drink and it was horrible, so I'm guessing I dodged a bullet.

I ordered the Argentinian style beef crepe, which was incredible. I had no problem the first 5 times I ate here, but then was very sick the last and final time. Sadly I will not take another chance. I recommended that they use a separate surface for the GF option to help prevent cross contamination, but currently they just clean the surface.

GF items are marked on the menu. Two Celiacs had GF crepes, one savory of ham and cheese and one sweet, fruit and chocolate- build your own. Crepes are served on wooden planks and marked GF with a red checker piece. Two non Celiacs ordered similar meals. We noticed the non Celiac crepe boards were scored from knife cuts. One of the Celiac boards looked to be new, the other a little more worn. Hopefully they are washed separately and not serving GF crepes on the same boards as regular? Hard to tell. It was delicious and no one was sick. Feel like we got lucky.

This place was amazing. Our server was so kind he grew up with his mother having celiac so he was very knowledgeable. I had the gluten free Nutella strawberry and banana crepe and my wife had the breakfast crepe with egg, ham, and cheese. Both were delicious! The Nutella was a little sweet but if you like sweet for breakfast you'll love it!

Absolutely fabulous GF crepes, both savory and sweet. They said they cleaned griddle between each crepe. Not sure about utensils- didn’t think till I was writing this review. Delicious- would eat there again!

Mama Jovana makes both savory and sweet crepes; all are available as GF. She is careful about cleaning the griddle, using fresh utensils, etc - but GF crepes are not done on a separate one, so if you are especially sensitive use due caution. She also has GF cookies (several varieties). EVERYTHING is delicious!!!

The gluten free crepes were incredible!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Huge crepes! Gluten free! It’s so delicious it doesn’t even taste like gluten free!
