Review


Staff answers all questions about celiac precautions. They prepare food using different utensils and after washing hands. They carry gf treats like muffins and cookies in the top row, all clearly labeled. Staff grab that with a single use napkin instead of the every day tongs. Know that they are in the same case as gluten items. Staff also warn that there is flour in the air because they are preparing breakfast food for other diners: that they know to mention that is good. And helps customers make an informed decision about whether they feel comfort eating there. My son with celiac did not get sick and quite enjoyed the gf waffle and chicken hummus gf flat bread. The entire back page of the menu is dedicated to gf options. Food recommended just know the portions are on the smaller side and more expensive: three gf breakfast dishes, muffin, cookie, chocolate milk and two coffees were $50.

Delicious tasting though smaller in size. Single waffle and chicken hummus sandwich were tasty. Muffin tasted a little funny to me but my son with celiac enjoyed it.

I appreciate the COVID prevention precautions, making the small interior single flow and quickly preparing food to get customers out. Outdoor dining at three tables. No indoor dining. Mask required.
