Probably not great for celiacs considering everything is made together, but for non-celiacs who can’t eat gluten, the waffle is pretty good!

Barely anything was marked gluten free and the items that were turned out to be unsafe. I asked about the gluten free waffle and was informed that it’s prepared in the same waffle iron as the regular waffles. Such a disappointment.

Went to the cafe after speaking on the phone with a server, however, after arriving, the manager said he does not recommend eating here fir true celiacs. The one gamble you could take are the nachos which do not go in a frier - instead, they go into a toaster oven of sorts and therefore may not be at risk for cross contamination, however, the staff said they do not recommend for highly sensitive celiacs.

Their gf waffles were so good I thought the kitchen had made a mistake. The menu is clearly marked and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable about restrictions and allergies. Great spot for a variety of dietary needs.

They get items from gluten-free Rise Bakery down the road, such as muffins or cookies. They also have other gluten-free items on the menu (e.g. waffles) but these are prepared in a kitchen that handles gluten and couldn't guarantee that there was no cross-contamination. The staff was understanding and knowledgeable. Nevertheless, be on the lookout -- I still got gluten biscuits served with my coffee!
