French Meadow Bakery & Café

Server seemed a little hesitant which scarred me, the service was mediocre in general. Got the salmon benedict which was prettu good, just very small. Very sensitive celiac and did not appear to get sick. Make sure to go over evrrything thoroughly with them

Great fish tacos and many salad options

Really the only place we found gf good. The grill side has gf bread. We had good burgers.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu has gf items marked. Li told the waitress I had Celiacs and could not have gluten. She seemed to understand. Brought my soup with regular bread sitting on the edge. She was overloaded and seemed tired. She apologized, but given the understaffing, I decided to move on without taking the risk of contamination.

No RANCH dressing? Outrageous! However, our food was hot , tasty and quickly served. GF on the run is important!

June 28, 2018. My second review is for the chain at MSP, but this time in the main concorse near the entry to the E and C terminals. We ate off the main menu and sat in the bar. No GF beer. The restaurant has several GF options without any modification. No GF buns for a burger. I had a Cobb salad and was quite happy with the taste, portion, and service. I would eat at this location again, but maybe not the one in my second review (below).

This is for the shop in the F terminal of MSP. It was highly recommended. Have GF bread. Good tasting food. Cross-contamination is an issue here. Easy to see it happening. at grill Hard to draw attention to it and stop them. New to Celiac diagnosis. Hopefully this won't be an issue.

Was not a fan of the Mac and cheese. Salad was not great either.

Very gf friendly. Bakery case had gf bagels, brownies and lemon bars. The menu for the sit down restaurant did not note gf items but the server said they had gf toast and was able to tell me which items were gf, which included standard brkfst items. Food was very good.

asked if they had a gf menu, answer was a rude no. Asked if they had any options that could be gf, she said we could toast if they needed to. rude waitress!

Celiac friendly?

No

Not a huge GF menu, but I think it's the only GF offering in the entire MSP terminal 1 at the airport.

No

NOT celiac safe .... they used shared equipment

My breakfast was good but there is no gluten free menu so you still have to ask all your standard questions. No gf waffles and pancakes as noted

Love this place! Wish they were close to my home! Lots of gluten free options!!

Yes

No more gluten free menu. you can just pick things off their standard menu that are naturally gluten free.

Everything is gluten free in the breakfast menu except for the quesadilla.

Ate meals there several times and was always fine - however, had a GF labeled bakery item and had the biggest celiac attack of my life.

I had the Mac and cheese, I don’t think it was gluten free, beware.

Absolutely phenomenal! A great GF selection, and a huge variety of GF desserts. We got their steak salad, and it's one of the better steak salads I've ever had. Very helpful staff. Excited to go back!

So many gluten free options and all of our meals were great! They did have a few kids options as well. The servings were huge, it was so fun to look at the bakery window and let my son pick out whichever cake he wanted as they had more GF options than not. Wait staff did a great job of making notes about who needed GF, although we all ended up with GF meals since there were so many options. We were very happy with our meals!
