Cupitol Coffee & Eatery

I had the gluten free belgian waffle and it was delicious!!! (I just have an intolerance, so cross contamination is not a problem for me) The atmosphere is super adorable as well :) I also had an omelette which they removed cheese for me upon request to make it DF! My oatmilk latte was so yummy and the beautiful latte art on top was the perfect addition to make my experience even better

This is a cute little coffee shop that always has a menu, but more of a quick serve concept. They have chairs, couches & tables spread out everywhere. I ordered the banana Nutella waffle gluten free & it was delicious!

Do not eat food here if you’re celiac. I ate pancakes & waffles here after double checking 3 times that they could safely do gluten free. We were the very first ones there, first meal being made in the kitchen, and an hour or so later I started feeling violently ill. Worst reaction I’ve had to date. Food was delicious so if you just have an intolerance I highly recommend going!!

We ate here twice during our trip to downtown Chicago. It was close to Navy Pier and our hotel. Staff is very knowledgeable about all food allergies. I am gluten intolerant. Day one, I had the gluten free pancakes, they were 4 large pancakes - definitely could not finish them. They also have gluten free bread, waffles, smoothies and lots of other GF options. Day two, I had gluten free toast, with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, tomato and avocado. They also included home made jam which was great. My 2 cousins aren’t gluten intolerant and commented that it was an amazing capuchino and an even better wrap. They loved the Yogurt with granola also. We will definitely be back.

While I am a sensitive celiac and didn't get sick, I wouldn't recommend this place for celiacs because the first thing they tell you is that there is a chance for cross contamination. I had an egg sandwich with GF bread, it was OK, nothing special. I also had the hashbrowns, they were good but nothing to rave about. So many better options for brunch in Chicago.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great vegan and gluten free options. Convenient and reasonably priced
