We had a great experience here. The staff was attentive and the food was fresh and tasty. My wife highly recommends the scones and linzer cookies.

This place is really good! The EC with turkey bacon and the chicken salad sandwich are my go to. Definitely top notch taste and quality! The baked goods are amazing to and you can't even tell they are gluten free.

The crepes were incredible! Best chimichurri I have ever had and the coffee with oat milk was awesome.

Immaculately clean.

I will go there often!

It’s nice to see more dedicated gluten free restaurants and cafes opening and the food was good. BUT, if you have celiac and can’t tolerate oats (even certified gluten free oats), I don’t recommend as I had a significant reaction even eating the items that weren’t baked with oats. Owner has a gluten sensitivity not celiac and makes 90% of the baked goods with oats or oat milk.

The Defying Gravitea chicken salad sammie on the house-baked brioche is amazing and so is the Breakfast Crepe with house-made crumbled chicken sausage! I've known the owner/founder Gina for a couple years now from her time in Jersey City. She has made my gluten-free custom birthday cake/cupcakes for the last two years - banana rum cake - and has exceeded my expectations each time! Her gf pie crust is great too as is the pecan pie - order one for your next pie craving - she does custom pies too! Honestly, some of the absolute gluten-free treats I've tried (must try the cheddar-scallion scone which is gf and dairy free). Her Defying Gravitea teas are also really tasty and the rise + grind is perfect for those that want caffeine, but don't drink coffee. Highly recommend and such a cute spot!

My wife and I have been there twice for lunch. I have Celiac so being a dedicated gluten free cafe is important . The food is very good and is sourced locally. We will return. Pasquale
