Extensive gf menu and even a section marked for celiacs. Having said that, went for lunch and they were out of the burgers my kids (w celiac) wanted, and couldn’t make the club sandwich gf even though the menu says it is gf. The avocado toast and baked goat cheese in tomato sauce were fine. I think the gf selections may be more friendly for adults than teens.

Just Wow! I walked in as google had a review that said it had a GF menu! I was ordering togo and thought Gf items would be marked, they weren’t so I asked for a GF menu and was handed one happily. When handed the menu I started looking at the GF options. After glancing over one side something caught my eye… there was a whole section marked CELIAC. I knew it was meant to be. I ended up ordering the salmon salad sandwich. When I opened my order it looked so I good I thought for sure I had the wrong order. The bread was normal sized and delicious! I wish I could go back again!

I was so disappointed by my experience. Maybe they have a reduced post pandemic menu or my expectations were too high. I went into breakfast excited based on reviews left here. Breakfast is my favorite food; I usually like the sweet side. There was no GF menu, no GF labeled options, and very limited on what was offered. The waitress was clearly uncomfortable trying to help me come up with alternatives. I couldn't even eat the house fries/potatoes because they're in a shared fryer. The half attempt at offering a substitute was a handful of lettuce in vinaigrette, not my idea of comforting breakfast. As a side note, we ordered my daughter the apple nachos (apple slices covered in maple butter, pecans, and dried fruit). We received apple slices covered in liquidy yogurt and dried cranberries.

The staff was very informed and could answer all my questions. They also made my meal in a separate skillet and toasted the bread in the oven and not in contaminated toaster.

Very inventive menu. Most of the menu could be made GF. They also have GF bread for all the sandwiches.

Cute vibe and great outdoor space across from the water.

The owners are very knowledgeable and helpful. There is a separate gf menu or they can help you modify the normal menu.
