Excellent food at a reasonable price. They offer made to order gluten free crepes. We went their for breakfast and the food was excellent. No problems. Not a dedicated GF facility.

I ate here this morning and it was good! Although portions aren't very big. I'm a light eater so it was fine. The crepes look and taste just like a regular one! I had zero reaction. It's a little hard to find and parking is on street only. They're isn't a nearby side street either so you have to park on 101. During the summer that could be a problem

5 stars is not enough. The staff were so incredibly accommodating to allergies. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so cute and comfortable. My wife and I have a lot of allergies. We both have Celiac. Together we have allergies to egg, quinoa, and nightshades. The staff went above and beyond to accomate. I've never experienced care and concern for my experience like what they provided. Marci, Pam, and John specifically helped us. They were kind, caring, and knowledgeable. We went 3 times the weekend we were in town and look forward to 100 more.

Unfortunately seemed like the safest choice in town, but we ended up wasting over 2 hours of our time for expensive food that didn’t even come close to filling us up. I was looking forward to the berry crepes but nobody mentioned they were out of some ingredients for it, otherwise I would have ordered something else. It was just delivered to me without those ingredients and it was not very good. The potatoes that were supposed to come with the scrambles that we ordered didn’t come until we were all finished with our food. When we arrived we were told it was a 5 minute wait for a table, nobody mentioned it would be an hour and a half for our food to arrive after ordering. :( This place has a lot of potential but definitely needs to make some changes in the way they work.

Not dedicated. The whole menu can be made gluten free and vegan. They are very conscious about where they source their ingredients. They are very conscious of cross contamination. Super delicious and the staff was very kind!
