Review of Crimson Corner Cafe

I was very excited to try this place because tons of people on the Gluten Free Utah Facebook page suggested this cafe. So when we came down for Tuacahn, we came to try it. The cafe is cute and small, and rather out of the way. It was much farther away from the center of town than I thought—haha, kind of in a residential area. The menu isn’t huge, but they can make almost everything gf except sliders, and the gf pancakes are only available Friday and Saturday. Note that Gf takes longer to make. Because our wait was longer, they brought us two gf New Grains sugar cookies for free, which was so nice. We ordered the burger and the carnivore pizza. The burger was really good and so thick—1/2 pounder. My non-gf husband couldn’t tell it was gf, although my bun split a little. But the burger itself was nice and thick, and it came with a good deli pickle spear. We got coleslaw as the side, but it wasn’t great—kind of mustardy. It wasn’t terrible, but I don’t think we’d get it again. The pizza took longer to cook, but the toppings and cheese were really good. Too bad the crust was fairly disappointing. It was cold in middle but nice and warm on the edges where it was hot, and the texture and thickness was rather like a really thick tortilla. My husband opted just to eat the toppings and leave the crust after a few bites. And sadly, I did find a dark hair baked in my pizza, but frankly I didn’t care because I wanted to eat the pizza for its good toppings. Haha. I don’t know that I’d get the pizza again, though, because of the crust texture. The employees were very pleasant, and they were so nice to give us free cookies.
