Characters Cafe

Absolutely amazing hospitality and Incredible food. We are from out of town and two of us have celiac and one is intolerant and we were more than elated with the options we had. So good. We will be coming here more than once during our east coast stay.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff is knowledgeable about Celiac Disease. They offer gluten free bread/toast, French toast and pancakes. Many naturally GF options as well. Sunday buffet has enough GC choices to make it worthwhile. I will be back when I am back in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love this place! Came here once for breakfast and again for brunch on a Sunday and they had wonderful singer performing live. They have gf toast and their homemade corned beef hash was absolutely out of this world. This cafe is also a nonprofit that donates all proceeds to the Artist's Exchange and Gateway's to Change! I highly recommend for a good breakfast and brunch.

They were extremely conscious of cross contamination..1st GF stuffed french toast!! It was delicious 😊 The staff were extremely friendly & inviting, will be going again for sure!

Very kind staff and knowledgeable chefs.. gluten free bread and pancakes available

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is SUPER CUTE and the staff is very friendly. The chef is careful not to cross contaminate, but I wasn’t a fan of the pancakes. They’re multigrain and just have a gooey texture and off taste. The toast, however, is delicious and I’ll be trying the French toast next time! Everything else was great as was the coffee! Lots of iced flavors and a few hot flavors too. Prices are reasonable and I like that it’s a nonprofit for the theater. I’ll definitely be back!

UPDATE: The GF French toast is ah-may-zing!!!

This place is not celiac friendly. They have gf toast and gf pancakes, but their staff has zero knowledge about their menu items. They had to run back to the kitchen to check things for me about 5 times. The chef was patient but still, they should know what is gf and what isn’t, or list it. And for the things that weren’t naturally gf, there was no offer to sub something else. I finally just ordered eggs, bacon and toast, which had zero flavor and was room temp. Will not be going back.
