It's a neat restaurant. The server was really aware of cross contamination. The grill is shared but they have a dedicated toaster and waffle maker. So I got the Belgian Waffle with the cream cheese sauce with a side of fruit. I really enjoyed it!

Got the eggs benedict. Was notified that the fries weren't safe as its a shared fryer so you have a choice of 4 slices of tomatoes or pay for fruit. It was decent but the sauce didn't have much flavor.

Went here for dinner. NOT suggested!!!!! They had only one option labeled GF. A vegan GF lasagna. It was okay, at best. The lack of knowledge gave me instant anxiety. The server pointed out a few options that were GF or could be made GF, for me from the menu... I read the description of one he pointed out and it said "soy sauce" was in it...so I asked about that and he said "well there might just be traces of gluten!" Ahhhh if I took his word for it being GF then I'd be sick for sure. Never going back for dinner.

This place is amazing. Gluten-free eggs Benedict, gluten-free Belgium waffles and plenty of other super yummy breakfast and diner foods. So good. My wife, who is not gluten free, said several times, "This is so good!" Easy walk from downtown. Very kid friendly with GF kid options. Definitely a must visit.
