Ben & Florentine

I ate at B&F on Sunday 29 May. *I am self-diagnosed high-threshold celiac. I got Kim the waitress who is also Celiac. Kim recommended some options and I selected the bacon spinach omelette with gf toast. I told Kim that I read a review of he service, amd I even showed it to her.

She came back as I was leaving and she told me that I made her day. I apologize if this review makes her unwittingly famous.

I had a very good experience here, the waitress we had was celiac, so she suggested what to order and also told me that why had a dedicated toaster for the gluten free bread. Huge portions and so good!!

the hashbrowns are NOT gluten friendly! I had a celiac waitress at this location who was very knowledgeable and let me know that the potatoes are actually seasoned with some flour, and are cooked in a cross-contaminated fryer so she didn't recommend them. Had to pay the upcharge to get the fruit side instead. I believe she said the sausage is also not gluten free. They do have gluten free toast at least, although I did not ask if it was toasted in a safe manner. I was a little disappointed about how few options there were because of the potatoes being unsafe. The avocado toast I had was very tasty at least.

I have a wheat and pork allergy. The hash browns are cooked in the same deep fryer as the bacon and sausages. So, my omelet breakfast had no sides. My only choice was a salad with out paying an up charge for other options. The salad was put on the same plate as the omelet and left under the heat lamp way too long. Won’t be going back.

The food is delicious! I had a quinoa, vegetable, and egg skillet with gf toast. The place is crowded and a bit noisy, but the service is quite good considering how many people go here to eat! I don’t know if they are dedicated gf, but so far I’ve eaten here twice without any problems.

GF options, food was good. Staff confirm it is GF

Great food and staff. Egg Bennie and potato pancakes with fresh squeezed orange juice was my gluten-free meal. Server was helpful in ensuring no cross-contamination. Will definitely be one of my go-to breakfast spots when visiting the city.

Amazing food! I had the eggs benedict with potato pancakes. They take allergies seriously and substitutions to fit your needs. 100% would come back
