Passing through for the weekend and ordered the turkey bacon avocado on a gluten free wrap and it was great! They offer all wraps/burritos on a GF wrap and they also had GF bagels you could get some of the sandwiches on too—so nice! There’s a selection of GF pastries as well! Truly lots of options for a little local spot. We came at about 11:30a on a Friday and it wasn’t busy and there was no wait. Took about 10 minutes to get our food. It’s a cute spot so during peak times I bet there’s a wait but would be worth it to me! I’m gluten intolerant, not celiac so I can’t speak to the kitchen safety with cross-contamination, but I had a great experience here!

I’ve given this place a few chances but every time they blow it. First I got a sandwich to go but they put it on a wheat wrap and I didn’t open it until I got home so I called for a refund and the guy sounded like he could not have cared less about it. Recently I got another sandwich gluten free but they gave me the wrong one. On top of that it takes about 20 mins to get food at best. They don’t tell you it’s GF when they bring it out. They don’t care enough at all. If you’re celiac don’t risk it.

— No gluten-free information on the menu

Was told 10 minutes wait for a sandwich to go. I took a refund and left after 25. There appears to be a somewhat gluten free section in the kitchen, but the so-called gluten sensitive quiche is uncovered in the curtain of a cases with open shelves of glutinous baked goods, with crumbs all over the place. The baristas and cashiers handle plates full of crumbs with no gloves. Bottom line: I would trust the coffee only, here, and then only if I asked the baristas to use clean gloves and has lots of time.

Celiac friendly?

No

Told them I had celiac and they told me they heat up the bagel in the oven and change their gloves. I’m very sensitive and I had no reaction. I got the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich! Recommend!

0 is the better score. Gave me a grilled whole wheat wrap INSTEAD of the gluten free wrap.

When brought to attention. "You have to understand one is a cooking method not the bread choice.". Really? I didn't know!

Celiac friendly?

No

The best gluten-free crapes chocolate chip muffins and scones bagels overnight oats oh my !! so many gluten-free options !!

Everything is great. Awesome atmosphere. Gluten free quiche! They roast their own coffee. One of my favorite roasts in the country.

Not celiac friendly. They owner/manager? Was very sweet and sat with me for quiet a while. They were very nervous that I would end up ill. They did go out of their way to make sure that my food was safe, but it is not a norm for them. I think that they could make easy minimal changes that would make it safe for celiacs but right now it isn't and that is sad because it was a cute place.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had a rich, aromatic high quality latte with almond milk (as it wasn't meal time) and heard from staff that they can make GF crepes. Love the feel of this cafe. Beautifully decorated. Free internet and relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. A non-profit direct trade business with real heart.

I got a lovely GF bagel and hot chocolate. The pastries are made in a local 100% GF bakery in Hollis. The staff was kind and helpful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
