The waffle is GF! waffle Sammie special was so good. So hard to find a GF breakfast sandwich! My non-celiac husband got a kimchi sandwich (not gf) and had positive things to say. We both got cold brew coffee- my husband said "this is everything i want when i order a cold brew" Staff incredibly kind and wonderful.

We arrived at 11 am to find that they had sold their last GF waffle to the person in front of us in line. We were visiting from out of town and didn't have a back-up plan for where to eat breakfast, so we walked out disappointedly, and luckily that very kind person had heard us ask and so he cancelled his waffle order so that we could order it for our daughter. But it was literally the ONLY thing on the menu that was Celiac safe so I would not count on this place if you go late in the morning or if you don't want a waffle. With no sides. I asked what else she could have, and they said since their kitchen is so small, the only safe equipment is the wafle maker.

I was super excited about the waffles after reading the reviews but unfortunately I found out when we got there that they have a lot of dairy in them so I couldn’t eat them. I had an herby sardine sandwich toasted with gluten-free bread and vegan cheese that was just outstanding. We also loved the rose cardamom cappuccinos. This is a fantastic spot although it is a little pricey. Would definitely go back.

I had the gf waffle. It was very fluffy and soft, delicious! My husband had the farm crunch wrap. We both really enjoyed our meals. Cost us about $30 and they include tip. The place is tiny, but comfortable. Bathrooms are down a couple of hallways, very clean and modern looking. As a country girl, the area didn't look too sketchy for parking. We walk a block, but there really wasn't anything else to see. It was a good stop in our way into Detroit.

Small selection but Fantastic! GF waffle with thick bacon, a jammy egg, and real maple syrup along with an excellent cup of coffee…perfection. Kind, friendly staff and cozy environment with unique retail finds make for an overall excellent find. Already planning our next visit.

Food was good, not great. Not a lot of choices if you are gluten and dairy free.

It's a cute little cafe/market with limited seating and an outdoor patio. The gluten free waffle was delicious! They also have oatly milk for coffee.

The almond flour waffle is so delicious! Their brekky bowl can also be customized to be gluten free. Knowledgeable and friendly staff as well. One of my favorite places for brunch!

Estimated wait times are not really their thing. The waffles are GF and the have. Desert that is GF. The eggs and bacon are obviously GF as well. They had another Thai curry chicken dish and a vegan dish as well that were GF but it’s not celiac. The kitchen is a single platform that’s visible from the door. Community seating. Holds 20-25 persons total.

Delicious. There is no separate gluten free menu, but many items on the menu are naturally gluten free. They have GF waffles on weekends and other fun options that deviate from the boring norm. The whole restaurant was clearly created with safe eating in mind. Highly recommended!
