Corner Grounds Café

Adorable little cafe that takes GF seriously. The owner’s wife and mother-in-law are both celiacs. All of the coffee drinks and flavorings are GF. They have a separate prep area, toaster, condiments, and knives for their GF everything bagels (which I was told come from somewhere in Brooklyn, NY). They typically have a packaged GF carrot cake too. I enjoyed everything I ordered and didn’t get sick!

Nice locally owned coffee shop with GF bagels and a GF carrot cake! The carrot cake was delicious. Though I cannot speak to the kitchen safety, all baked goods were in their own individual containers labeled with allergen or gluten free. Owners have relatives with celiac and are aware of what it is. Hoping they will expand their selections in the future!
