Review
I asked about the corned beef hash special. The cashier went back to the kitchen to confirm. The server noted my dish as gluten free when she brought it out. The corned beef hash was delicious and a large portion. I had an Udi’s GF bun as my toast. I have Celiac and no reaction.

It’s not often I can find a quick breakfast spot. But so glad to have found one in Detroit! We got to run in quickly before our day started and I was able to eat their sausage, potatoes and fruit. Also enjoyed a delicious latte with oat milk (can’t have eggs or dairy either).
It was all delicious!

Arrived at 2:30 on a monday afternoon, staff were very patient & allowed us to finish without any hassle. The sandwich bun on my sandwich was sooo tasty. It was light, crisp, flavorful & did not fall apart or get soggy.
Not a gluten free space, but my sandwich was marked & my allergy was taken seriously.
Will return next time I am in town.

Review
I had a great experience here - staff was very friendly and understood the severity of celiac disease. They don’t have any GF items on the menu but almost all of their items can have a GF bread/bun substitute. The power bowl is also made with gluten-free oats. They couldn’t guarantee celiac friendly but when I spoke to the kitchen about cross-contamination they understood and were extra careful. I had an egg, bacon, and avocado breakfast sandwich on a GF bun and it was 10/10 delicious. I am very sensitive to contamination and I did not get sick! If you’re comfortable advocating for yourself, I would highly recommend.
