They no longer serve hamburgers- just an FYI. But is a very safe place for someone that is celiac.

Always can count on their delicious gluten free pancakes with bacon & eggs. Their black currant ice tea is a favorite!

Really like coming here. They have a separate gf menu and the gf food comes out on a different color plate. Cinnamon rolls are really good :)

I order from here regularly and am sensitive to cross-contamination. Generally they do a great job and I do not get tooo much cross-contamination, but it does happen sometimes.

My teenage son, a celiac, goes here for breakfast sometimes before school. Good food and has never had a reaction.

Firstly, they have an interactive menu online where you can filter out allergens and see what is safe for you on the menu. Secondly, the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. I am dairy free as well and the only milk alternative was oat milk, which I questioned if it would be gluten free. He willingly offered on his own to bring it to the table so I could see he carton. When I thanked him he said “of course, this is your health we’re talking about!” He also double checked there was no dairy in the potatoes. I’m extremely sensitive to gluten. I had the chicken chilaquiles and an oat milk latte and I had no reactions.

Amazing menu. Have been to this restaurant so many times, never gotten sick. There is a separate place for gluten free food, and they even have separate plates, completely avoiding cross contamination. This place is amazing!

I have been there at least a dozen times, the servers have always been so nice about checking if items are gluten free for me even when they are busy(which is always). I've never gotten sick from their food. I would recommend trying the g free cinnamon roll!

Great spot for breakfast. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and take celiac seriously. There was a mistake and my food came with an English muffin. The meal was quickly removed and they made me a new meal. Waiter even double checked that first meal wasn’t just “recycled”. Highly recommended

This is the second time we have been here and so far so good. I am celiac and have not had any issues. While they do not have a GF space in kitchen I have not had cross contamination issues. They have a GF cinnamon roll they get from a local bakery that is soooo good and the rest of the family really likes the other dishes. On our list of regular places.

This used to by favorite brunch place for celiac safe food, but the last time I went I got horribly glutened. My mom (also celiac) had the same reaction when she tried going again after that. I’m not sure if it was the staff or a change in protocol, but we made clear both times that we had celiac disease and they said they could accommodate. Please be cautious going here, I hope they can make it safe again!

Have been many times with my celiac family - no issues!

They have a huge GF menu, safe handling protocols, and even separate colored dishes to cue staff and diners that the food is gf. We love it here
