Attempted to go there for gluten free pancakes a while back only to find they have soy in them. With all the options available these days, and soy being a top 8 allergen I just dont see how they keep using it!

The gluten free pancakes were delicious! The menu says they don’t have separate preparation and cooking areas. We did talk to the manager, James, and he said that he can’t guarantee there is no cross contamination, but that he and his team do clean, change gloves and take precautions. Because of that (which is the norm for many restaurants) I’m not saying it’s celiac friendly, but they do try. And they are very upfront about that.

Great offerings! GF pancakes, lots of omlettes, GF wrap options and 3 (3!!) different types of GF bread for sandwiches or toast. Really nice to have such a variety.

Really cute little place that serves gluten free pancakes and French toast. I got the French toast and the bread was soft and fluffy, it was excellent. Definitely a place to go back to

This place was amazing! The server knew right away what celiac meant and said they would take all the precautions for my food to be safe. The manager even came over to tell us that all precautions were being made. I got a waffle and it was delicious!

I found the GF menu here to be very pleasing. Pancakes, waffles, French toast. Plus, other GF options. Nice breakfast spread for those of us who are sensitive to gluten. I would like to note that I didn’t experience any cross contamination.

Ordered gluten free French Toast. Regular was delivered. I was told because there are new people, but the reciept clearly ordered incorrectly. Spending my hard earned money somewhere else. Service was poor.

I don't believe they took steps to prevent cross contamination. I got the gf french toast and sausage. In less than an hour it was like I had taken a laxative.
