This place was amazing. The teas were delicious, crepes were decatant and I highly recommend the turkey club. I visited from out of town and went 3x during my stay and every time was fantastic. Highly recommend and will be back!

Delish cup of chicken chili and pot of tea. Celiac friendly!

Although this place had good food and a vast tea selection, it is definitely not safe for those with celiac disease. When I went, I specifically asked my waitress if they cooked their gluten free crepes on a dedicated surface separate from the regular food. She reassured me that they did and said it was totally separate. I returned to the restaurant the next day to order food to go and commented to the staff how I was impressed that they prepared their gluten free food on a dedicated surface and they said, “No we absolutely don’t do that.” I was shocked and asked them what they meant and told them what the waitress had told me the day before. They informed me that the waitress was wrong and that their gluten free food is cooked in the same surface and none of their kitchen is free from cross contamination. I was devastated since I had already consumed the contaminated food the previous day, but at least I was able to tell the manager to please re-educate the waitstaff so the same thing doesn’t happen to someone else in the future.

They also told me that when they make the gluten free paninis they wrap them in foil and then press them on the same press as the regular food. I suppose this is a bit better but still great cross contamination wise. Definitely better than the crepe situation if you do eat at this restaurant though!

Celiac friendly?

No

I get sick every time I eat here. I think there’s a lot of cross-contamination in the kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

No

There are a large selection of options that can be made gluten free, marked with an asterisk on the menu. There is not a separate toaster, but they wrap the sandwich in foil to avoid cross contamination. I had the horseradish roast beef panini and the kettle chips. It was delicious and did not make me sick even though I am sensitive to cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great sandwiches! Would have given 5 stars if they had a separate toaster for their GF bread. So I had to have my sandwich un-toasted. Bread was still good. Waitresses were knowledgable. Many items on menu are or can be made GF. Flourless chocolate cake was yummy.

The food was fantastic. The service was marginal. There is not a separate preparation station for gluten free foods and bread goes in the same toaster, just wrapped in tinfoil.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great gluten free menu. Wish they had gf soups and more than flour less choc cake for dessert.

Closed on Monday

Excellent panini (gluten free is on udi's bread grilled on foil). As the name suggests they specialize in tea but also have beer & wine.
