The food here is very good. It’s so nice to eat gf food that I actually enjoy eating. This will be my go to brunch spot.

They didn’t have a ton of gluten free options, but they had enough that I could comfortably order. They had some understanding of cross contamination too.

Amazing breakfast sandwich with egg cheese and Taylor ham! Super soft bread and quick service. Staff were very knowledgeable about gluten free! Had tons of other options to choose from and will definitely come back and try something different next time (waffles, pancakes, French toast, bakery items)

Fantastic! Lots of delicious GF options and great service. They have a separate area and separate equipment to prepare your food. French toast, banana bread and scones are just a few things on the menu that made me happy ☺

literally so delicious fries tasted battered, super accommodating and safe I did not get sick, plus their toast is amazing some of the best bread I’ve ever had not even just gluten-free and it’s big too (shocking) and I’m pretty sure it’s made in store tasted super fresh.

This was a last minute idea to try it because I was in the area. Although one website said 5:30 closing (actually 5) they were more than willing to open up shop and take my money. Money well spent! Celiac, no problems with any of the items (like one of everything!) I purchased!

Had a pretty good salad that was gluten free (strawberry fields with sliced chicken on top). They also have homemade GF cookies wrapped at the register. There are plenty of other GF options marked in the menu (GF pasta subs, GF bread subs, GF French toast, pancakes etc)

I love Giovanna’s. I’ve been ordering take-out from here for years. Everything is homemade and amazing, especially the GF brioche french toast. I don’t know how they get the bread so soft and delicious, but it honestly resembles the texture of challah. I’ve also had some of their To-Go meals (GF meatballs, chicken parm, etc) and they are just as amazing. Highly recommend for people with Celiac!

2 sensitive celiacs an 2 who aren’t in our group. It was so nice that my teenage son could enjoy a nice gf Chunk Monkey Brunch entree and he said it was delicious. I enjoyed a delicious sausage gf pasta dish. He served it toasted gf bread that was actually quite tasty as well where usually gf toast is just hard and tasteless, I quite enjoyed it! Our two non-gf family members enjoyed delicious chicken parm sandwiches. We were able to get ready made gf pastries to go at the restaurant and I went into thr to-go area and picked up some of the gf challah bread and gf cookies to make some French toast when we return home! 😃

I’ve been here a few times the food is always very good And celiac safe last timeI had chicken and waffles. The chicken was good the waffles were to die for. My only issue is the menu is unclear and most of the wait staff seems unsure when asked questions

I just ate here with my husband and two kids. Wow! I had the gf bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese and eggs. Simply amazing. Great service. I asked about the home fries and they explained they cooked them separately on the grill. Highly recommend!

Just ate there for Mother's Day and everything was excellent. Had to wait 45 minutes for our table, but it was worth it. Had a gf scone while waiting. They were super careful with it and put in separate pan to heat. I had the Frittata (my MIL is Italian and makes the best Frittatas so usually I am disappointed when I offer them out), and this did not disappoint! So yummy. My Celiac daughters and I'd hubby ate omelettes with a side of gf toast and pancakes. My oldest daughter said she wishes she wouldn't have worn a belt - she was stuffed.

We fortunately was sat at the counter and got to talk with the waiter who is also Celiac. He said they are very careful and showed up the dedicated toaster.

We have a new place for breakfast and can't wait to try them for lunch. I am only sad bc they aren't open for dinner.

Absolutely incredible food. I’ve been gluten free for over three years and have yet to have French toast that was worth talking about until today at Giovannas Cafe. Although this place is 3 hours from home for my fiancé and I, we will definitely be back.
