Best coffee anywhere! Gluten free Scones and cookies are delicious and celiac safe, but the muffins are not celiac safe. The sandwiches and soups are also very good. I frequent here regularly, it’s one of my favorite places!

I had the turkey avocado sandwich with kettle chips. Very good and I didn’t get sick. I was a little nervous though because there doesn’t seem to be dedicated kitchen space. The person taking the order went in back several times to ask questions for me so I appreciate that!

I was really sick after eating here and I had a salad. I'm guessing the dressing had gluten even though they said it didn't. On top of that, I don't think I would be back at all or often even if I felt fine. The place has zippo atmosphere. Very cold industrial with nothing on the walls or anything. Can't imagine going here when Blackbird is just down the street has better food, nicer staff, better atmosphere, and I never get sick! Save yourself some time and continue down the road to Blackbird cafe.

I have to revise my previous positive review. After our second visit, my boyfriend was up all night sick. They need to be better about handling food sensitivities, and perhaps my sensitive boyfriend and I need to be more careful with our dining choices!
