Second best gluten free pancakes I’ve had (second to Original Pancake House) flavor was perfect, just a little heavy. Bacon is gluten free and prepared separately from gluten-containing items. Cute little spot.

I did not actually eat here since everything is on shared equipment. Not sure about the other reviews about the pancakes and things since I asked the server about this and said they share the griddle with gluten pancakes.

--- edit

The manager did come out to explain, they do clean for GF orders. I still opted not to risk it.

The food was good, including the gluten free pancakes. Wish the potatoes were available gluten free as well. They share a fryer with wheat.

Staff was friendly and seemed knowledgeable about celiac; however I was very ill 30 minutes after eating, so the meal was cross contaminated at some point.

Just came and had some amazing chocolate chip gluten free pancakes - so good I worried they hadn’t served me gluten free ones! They don’t use peanut oil either (nut allergy) which is great (a lot of places here seem to!)

Had their “Super Special” with eggs, potatoes, house sausage links and cinnamon roll GF pancake. More than I could eat! The pancake was delicious and the coffee was really good, too.

Hard to tell since they only had the SD comic con menu available. But very accommodating and their GF pancakes were delicious. Got scrambled eggs and plain pancakes for a starch. Mixed kitchen though.
