Staff is eager to help and knows about Celiac. The first time that my husband and I went the server told us that almost the entire menu could be modified to be gluten free. (However, we've since found out that their menu is about to change, so hopefully the new menu will be just as accommodating.) Thanks to one of the other Find Me Gluten Free reviewers, I had the GF Stuffed French Toast. (They substitute a GF bagel - flavor of your choice. I chose the cinnamon raisin.) It was delicious!

Very accommodating of my gluten allergy. They made sure to alert the kitchen and cook everything separately.

It was good! The eggs were not quite as done as I'd have liked, but I had no reaction to the food. The kitchen staff told me that they make everything that is gluten free separate from the gluten products (so eggs are made on a grill where no gluten is also cooked, for example).

I asked them for something sweet and gluten free. They made a custom “stuffed French toast” using a gluten free cinnamon bagel!

Upon entering the restaurant the door handles are whisks. I knew I was in for a special treat. My breakfast was amazing. All foods are labeled GF. The staff was very helpful. I would highly recommend this restaurant if in the area.

Very disappointing! The GF Eggs Benedict was gross! We couldn’t eat the bagel because it was so hard, lacked flavor, and service was slow. We will not be returning! Also, so overpriced!

Very good GF breakfast......GF bagels (although a bit small, was very good) eggs, sausage, ham, Canadian bacon, bacon ....yum!

Good omelettes, careful about cross contamination. They offer two kinds of bagels, plus fruit that are gluten free.

Enjoyed the sunrise omelet, and especially appreciated the GF bagel and roasted (not the Lyonnaise -- they are careful about that) potatoes. Nice accommodation.

The food was nothing special for the price. My omelette was tasty but dry and under seasoned. It cost extra to substitute fruit for potatoes. My bill came to $20 for an omelette with fruit and a coffee. The menu specifies which dishes can be altered and made GF but it doesn't tell you how. I was expecting potatoes and GF toast and just got fruit. The fruit was very good, though! I just wish the menu, or my server, had specified GF meant no potatoes or toast.

Staff is knowledged. The first option on the menu was delicious (chicken panini and aioli). It should’ve been a panini, but to accommodate it to glutenfree I got toasted gluten free bread. As side dish the salad (which was also tasty) was available instead of the fries. Probably because they used a shared fryer.

super disappointed! Shared toaster, shared griddle for pancakes/waffles, shared fryer—a nightmare for those sensitive to cross contamination. I got eggs/bacon/untoasted bread, I won’t be coming back here again

(also, when our waitress asked the chef about shared surfaces, he said that the heat kills gluten…nope)

GF menu was just a paper stating substitutions you can make to make somethings GF but it wasn’t very comprehensive. I asked the waitress if omelets can be GF. She said she didn’t know so it was better not to order it - instead of going back and asking the cooks. I got the GF strawberry and salted caramel waffle. Waffle was not very good. I forced down half because I was hungry. I’ve had gf waffles at restaurants before that were amazing so I know it can be done.

We had brunch here and the server seemed pretty knowledgeable. She warned us that the potatoes are fried in the same fryer as other things, so those are cross contaminated. But everything else was fine to eat. We had GF waffles, pancakes, and other breakfast items, and they have GF options for English muffins, toast, etc.
