Review


This was hands-down the best breakfast I’ve ever eaten from a restaurant. I’m pretty nervous about trying new places, as I’m very sensitive to gluten. However, the restaurant I was going to go to had over an hour-long wait, and I saw this place had some positive reviews and a separate menu (always a good sign, in my experience). There was a wait here too, but you can order to-go. I ordered a GF cinnamon roll and GF pancakes, and then ordered eggs (without specifying GF). The server asked me if they needed to be GF as well - nice to know they’re looking out for that. Everything - including the eggs - came in containers with GF stickers on the top (another good sign!). The cinnamon roll was definitely the best one I’ve had since getting diagnosed in 2012, and the pancakes were absolutely phenomenal too. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I’ve had this app for years (and have found some great restaurants on here), but this is the first review I’ve written, if that gives you any sense. The GF menu is larger than pretty much anywhere else I’ve been, and I felt really safe eating the food I was served (and had no reaction whatsoever). I cannot wait to return!
