Cafe Cravings

The gluten free pancakes were tough and chewy. They definitely tasted like gluten free pancakes. Service was good, regular menu items were good. Quant home style cafe. Would not go again for gluten free items but coffee and pastry’s for non gluten free family members were tasty.

Gluten free apple walnut pancakes, scones, quiche, oatmeal Carmelita bars and so much more! I visited twice in a month because everything was so good and safe! Love it and everything was delicious.

Never would have discovered this place without the teamwork of folks who compiled a Google Drive doc of Twin Cities eateries. I wanted to find a brunch spot on the way to Stillwater with some friends. They could have their "normal" food and I felt safe eating mine! Win-win. I enjoyed the quiche & gf bread! And the super cute patio!

Lovely experience! Popular spot so expect to wait in line or order ahead. Apple walnut pancakes were DELICIOUS!! I will definitely be back for some soup and omelette and pastries! Got a scone and muffins to go so hoping those are just as yummy! Felt safe eating the food too and not sick!

Just try to find a better GF muffin! You won’t, because it doesn’t exist. These are fabulous. My favorite is the banana chocolate chip. They are huge, with a big muffin top. I’ve eaten here tons of times, and never been glutened. There are three of us who have Celiac in our family. Run to this place. It’s safe, great coffee, and the food is great. Try the apple pancakes too.

This place is disgusting. Thankfully I didn’t get sick, but the food was not good. The servers cleaned tables off and then immediately brought fresh food out to guests without washing hands. One waitress’s hair was gross and in her face and she kept pulling it back and then serving food. Nasty and unsanitary. Also a high probability for cross contamination.

We had brunch today: The strawberry-rhubarb muffin tasted like a muffin, with an actual top,and not just dense-cake-in-a-muffin-liner!! Took some frozen ones home. Lots of GF options, excellent omelet (but the hashbrowns weren’r extra-crispy as requested). Very busy Saturday morning, and although we found a table right away, it did take a while to get our order for four.

They are offering drive thru service and you can eat on their beautiful patio. The gf quiche was delicious but pricey for the portion size. The scone was super dry and kind of tasteless and over-priced in my opinion.

Super friendly staff! Very delicious! A lot of gf options even in the bakery!

Good food and lots of options. Cute, small cafe with some delicious gf chocolate chip pancakes. Have already been twice and would go again? Perfect for breakfast or lunch.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their gluten free menu has many breakfast and lunch items, all celiac friendly. They also have an extensive list of baked goods! Will definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Very good food. I got a turkey cranberry melt that was delicious and a red velvet cupcake. Will be back for sure

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When ordering, they asked if I had celiac or an intolerance so they knew if they needed to keep the food prepped separately (checking if it was by choice), and they knew all of the answers to my questions right away!

They had many gluten/dairy free options: products from bittersweet bakery, housemade GF treats, and even daiya cheese to sub in.

They have a separate toaster for GF bread, so you can even have toast with your breakfast! They have UDIs bagels as well.

I was pleasantly surprised after coming here, as was my non-celiac family. The inside is small and quaint, which through me off a bit, but they have fresh, high quality food and many organic options as well.

The gluten free breakfast and lunch menus were huge! I’m used to only having a few choices and having more of a “boring” meal, but there are so many great options (and many healthy choices as well!).

I’ll definitely become a regular here. I have celiac and a milk allergy, and I did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF apple walnut pancakes to die for! Cute little cafe with a good number of GF goodies to choose from. Been there a couple time because the pancakes are so much tastier than other restaurants’ GF pancakes. GF menu pricier than regular prices, but you’ll find this to be typical at most restaurants.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very tasty chicken salad, and I was lucky enough to get a GF carmelita bar just as they were cutting them. Super delish! They even asked if I needed "celiac prep" for my meal, which I appreciated. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tons of options for celiac disease sufferers. They have gf scones, omg they are so good. The flavored syrup seems to give me issues though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is a true gem! Nice selection of GF foods. Knowledgeable staff regarding Celiac and cross contamination. Staff is super friendly too. Highly recommend!

Staff was very knowledgeable. Asked me if I needed celiac prep at time of ordering. Very appreciated. Great selection and food was wonderful.

Celiac friendly?

Celiac Friendly with many gluten free options. We went for breakfast and the apple Walnut pancakes were so delicious. Will definitely go back there again. A bit pricey but a great occasional treat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a pleasure to have an extensive gluten free menu, including gluten-free bread that they toast in a dedicated toaster! Staff was very knowledgeable about celiac. Everything tastes delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Phenomenal!! Super awesome staff. Was so pleasantly impressed with fabulous food and they're true understating of celiac/gluten free. Had a great gluten free selection and took this very seriously, which we so greatly appreciate. Just purely an awesome restaurant!

Where else can you go in the middle of the afternoon and get GF pancakes at a restaurant? Not many places! Very knowledgable and safe. Hours and availability of some advertised GF items is limited though.

I could not put into words how amazing this place was! they also have many gf/dairy free options. fell in love with a full menu of options, including desserts!
