Love this spot! Everything we had was delicious. It was great to not have to worry about any cross contamination or special menus, we could order anything we wanted. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

We stopped for breakfast And got donuts. The pancakes were delicious and fluffy. I also had the wrap which was delicious. Surprisingly the wrap stayed intact for the whole meal! The donuts were incredibly! Very soft and delicious flavors. We were only passing through but made it a point to go back the next morning for a to go sandwich and more donuts!

Delicious and entirely GF on-site. The bakery items (breads, cakes, etc) are baked at the owner’s daughter-in-law’s home, so it may be worth asking more about what that kitchen is like. Eggs etc are cooked in the on-site kitchen. The day we went, it was peanut free. Not sure if it’s always that way but worth the ask!

Great find! We were in the area scoping out a wedding venue when we found this little gem. Finding dedicated GF facilities is difficult so when I do I have to comment. They serve breakfast , lunch and they have a dedicated bakery on site. I had a Turkey bacon club. My wife had pimento sandwich and potato soup. Both came with chips. Food was great and risk was nonexistent!

Really cute and cozy bistro with amazing food and charming staff. 100% gluten free. The cinnamon bun pancakes are decadent! I also want to know how they make their bread because the French toast actually had some spring in it which isn’t easy to do with gf bread. Will definitely be back as often as I’m able. A little pricey, but that’s the gf tax we all have to pay. Update: went back again today and with the portions you get, it’s a lot of food so not as pricey as first appeared. Had the blueberry cheesecake pancakes and they were as decadent as the cinnamon ones.

I’ve been a customer of Elizabeth’s before it was CrackO’ Dawn! Her food is delicious even if you aren’t Gluten Free! She personally can remember my food allergies and she’s really a force needed in the food community. I have not had a bad experience at Crack O’ Dawn! I cannot wait to see this business blossom and what else Crack O’ Dawn will offer! They just opened in October. She has dairy free and vegan options! Oh and her bread slices are bigger than gluten bread with no holes! That’s really all the marketing she needs!

Amazing cafe in Waynesboro! Staff is super friendly and really accommodating. I ate three meals here while we were in town and was so excited to find this place. The cinnamon roll pancake may be the best pancake I've ever had. The baked goods are also delicious.

Good food for breakfast and lunch, and good baked goods too! We were visiting Staunton and made our way here twice. The wraps they use are much better than any other gluten-free wrap I've tried.

Wow! A dedicated GF bakery and bistro in Waynesboro! They serve breakfast and lunch right now and have plans to have donated on Saturday evenings later on. I can tell you that their cinnamon buns are awesome!! We also got their apple and pecan pastries to eat for dessert later. Great staff and not far from I64 for travelers. Can’t wait to go back!

Great assortment of things. Breads, pastries, breakfast, lunch, soup,… Just too many things to list.

And everything is quite tasty !!!
