When I placed my order for a non-toasted gf sandwich, I mentioned that I wanted to avoid cross contamination. They were super understanding and offered to serve the bacon unheated, because the bacon goes into their non-gf toaster. Unfortunately, I still ended up still having a reaction. I’ve also had their gf pastries before and had a reaction:( I’m sticking to their lemonade from now on! :)
I placed an ordered a sandwich online and specified I was celiac and would have to avoid cross contact. I showed up and it was toasted. I will say I did not specify not toasted but it was a build your own and it didn’t say it would be toasted or give an option so maybe I should have specified. They do not have a dedicated toaster so they end up remaking but the guy that brought it out comments made it feel like there aren’t good protocols for keeping it safe. The gluten free bread also fell apart immediately. Will not go back.
Numerous gf pastry options, including macaroons, and salted Carmel brownies. I always ask what pastry items are gf since they change their options daily, and they always knowledgeable and helpful. They also offer gf bread for their sandwiches. I’ve never had a reaction after eating here
I’m giving 5 stars because I haven’t eaten here, but I just wanted to warn those with celiac disease—the macarons are NOT safe. I called and asked if the gluten free macarons are prepared on/with the same equipment as the gluten containing flavors. They are. It sounds like they’re also displayed right next to each other. Cross contamination galore. I wouldn’t risk it.
Amelie's is everything that a French Bakery should be. The presentation is wonderful, the taste divine! I have had their gluten free items, such as the coconut macaroons. Their tea cakes are also gluten free. Before I was gluten free, I had their chocolate mousse. The large mousse cup lasted for a couple of days, as I budgeted it out. I imagine the mini mousse cup would be just as delicious! All their gluten free items are marked with an * so that you may be aware of what you may like before you arrive.
Had lots of GF options including a large selection of Macaroons! I had a chocolate mousse cup (chocolate cup filled with chocolate mousse and topped with a chocolate covered strawberry) that was very rich and SO good!!! The staff change their gloves when you ask about GF options :)
such a fun place to go. I've enjoyed the salads and soups (just ask what's in it first) and the desserts are always a fave. I mostly get the French macarons (cinnamon and lemon are my favorites), the tea cakes are gf and are so moist and flavorful, and you can't go wrong with a gf salted caramel brownie.
An Amelie's just opened up near me so I wanted to see what it was all about. I wasn't going to have anything because I have celiac disease but the server insisted I would be ok because they bake the GF desserts in a different part of kitchen. Against my better judgement I tried the tea cake. It was ok, nothing special. But now I'm so sorry I didn't listen to my little voice as I am very sick and in a lot of pain. I haven't had a reaction like this in many years. If you have celiac stick to coffee and let your friends enjoy the "GF" pastries.
Amazing! I used to go for the gf salted caramel brownie but recently found out close to half their menu is gf because they use almond flour, so be careful if you have a nut allergy. Now I get something different every time.
If you are looking for GF, they have lots of options. If you have celiac, forget it. GF and non-GF are in same display cases, made in same kitchen, etc. It's sad - I used to love their treats.
