They said they’d change their gloves and use a separate prep area. Didn’t get sick.

Pretty good food, but it can get expensive. I really like a lot of the people who work at this place but I mainly come in for the coffee and the flourless chocolate cake. I have gotten sick from eating at Dog Lane only once or twice, so if I ever get food it’s typically their soup that’s clearly marked “GF” on their menu. I have also had their burger a few times and usually it’s fine, but there have been times when they’ve given me a regular bun and I had to give it back, but that only happened when I first started coming in almost 3 years ago and they’ve gotten much better about that in the past few years.

They can make any sandwich gluten free, and the bread was really good! Plus gf cookies made with sweet potatoes, which were incredible!

I'm sure it will work for some folks but the fact that GF items were not marked made it too hard to navigate. Staff did not see especially informed.

Expensive but the sandwich was pretty good! When I ordered, they marked my meal as “allergy” to alert the kitchen. I did not get sick!

Quantity was okay but quality was average. Especially given the top dollar price. I still go from time to time. Decent sandwiches, soups, great tea selection. Ambience is wonderful for work besides no electrical outlets.

But most days, I don’t think it’s worth the price. There are better gluten free options within walking distance of this cafe that cost the same or less.

Great chili and Rueben with GF toast. Aware of Gd allergy vs preference. Only reason gave it 4* is because it is Overpriced - 1/2 Rueben with GF toast with cup of chili and one full size Rueben on regular bun with bag of chips and pickle and 2 beers =$44

Gluten free bread options, but no wraps. They seemed to be aware of Celiac and gluten sensitivity needs. The place was clean and well maintained.

Had the farm burger, didn’t get sick.

Standard American fare marketed as upscale. The food was decent, but over priced. $19 for a burger that comes with a pickle and a small bag of chips, plus an iced tea.

[I need to eat at a place more than once to give the Celiac Friendly rating. I was visiting the area and likely won’t be back]

Lots of good gluten free choices plus a flourless chocolate cake! I enjoyed the grilled cheese, I had to double check if it was gluten free because it looked and tasted like regular bread!! They also have gluten free buns and wraps as an option!!

What a place. Delicious food that I can eat! My friends and family love it, too, so it's where I suggest to meet when people want to go somewhere together. Plenty of GF bread options, so their sandwiches can be made safe. Usually their soups aren't safe for me, b/w the GF and the DF that I have to follow. Staff pretty good, although you have to be on top of the small things like asking for your mayo to be the packaged kind--some of them don't understand about cross-contam. Also have GF desserts that are awesome, and GF beer. They set up a separate safe area for making my meal, too. Never had a reaction after eating here. Love it.

They have gluten free wraps, buns, and bread so almost any of their sandwiches or burgers can be made gluten free and they're delicious! They also have gluten free brownies. One of my new favorite places!
