Cottage Cafe

Separate gluten free menu with large amount of items. Nice to be able to get cream of crab. Unfortunately my salad came out with croutons but they were apologetic and made a new one.

This use to be my favorite place but they recently stopped making their French fries gluten free. They are suppose to have a system removed the majority of gluten but being celiac, I would not trust it. Don’t go there as often as I use to because of this.

Separate gluten free menu but all three soups listed on it have gluten! Kudos to the waitress for checking with the chef but I think a GF menu with gluten items is more dangerous than having no GF menu.

The menu was Gluten Sensitive, not Gluten Free. I have celiac and am very sensitive to cross contamination and I had no issues. I loved the cream of crab soup and Ceasar salad. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the gluten situation and the overall menu. Great staff and a decent variety of GF foods. There are no GF rolls available, but a variety of burgers and sandwiches without bread, soups and salads are available for our GF eating pleasure. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of the lack of GF bread.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Limited gf menu. No gf rolls. Had a burger with no bun. Fries are not gf, made on a shared fryer. Left hungry. Would not recommend if you have celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

(Gluten sensitive and dairy-free reviewer here). They had a gluten-free menu, though I did not ask about dedicated fryers or prep space. Salads, soups, sandwiches (no GF bun or bread options), and entrees. I got scallops, French fries, and applesauce and enjoyed it. Staff was very friendly.
