Great experience! Was a little worried from the latest review but my waiter assured me there is a separate space for everything in the kitchen which made me feel good about it. I had the stuffed hash browns and gluten free pancakes and have had no issues! Very good portion sizes as well.

Great place! Wonderful food choices. I loved the gf chowder with gf garlic toast. Delicious! Staff very knowledgable about celiac concerns. Highly recommend. Be aware-cash or check only.

Postscript: 2 hours later I was very sick with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. So sad about this…not what I’d planned for my vacation today!

A nice lunch with gluten free clam chowder! BLT is amazing, and the chowder was great. Excellent service and the place is very popular. Home cooking for sure.

Ate here twice on a recent trip. The staff were quite helpful. There were ample GF dishes (salads and entrees) that were good tasting and the full plate GF pancakes were fun.

Had a wonderful crab omelette (all omelettes can be gf) with avocado and cheese. I elected to have fruit but the hash browns are also made gf. It’s not dedicated but staff and kitchen are aware and knowledgeable. They also have gf bread for toast for an additional fee.

The owner was our server, and he was great. When I mentioned that I had a GF intolerance, and a DF allergy, he was easily able to accommodate the food. He even came out to double check if it was OK that they put powdered sugar on the pancake.

It’s always a gift to be able to start your warning with something other than scrambled eggs, and hashbrowns.

They only accept cash or checks. They do have an ATM if you need to pull out cash.

We will definitely be back

This little Cafe is a gem! I am allergic to gluten & dairy, and staff was friendly, knowledgeable, & helpful. They were able to sub non-dairy milk in the delicious pancake, which was a treat in itself (restaurants that do GF/DF pancakes are few). Even tho we arrived 35 min. before closing, all staff members were super welcoming & treated us great. Highly recommend!

Busy little place, but quick service and helpful and honest staff. Asked when we got there if gluten free food is Celiac safe. Host let me know he was unsure and confirmed with cook- all GF foods are cooked on a separate griddle with separate dishes. Delicious breakfast items, and exceptional clam chowder.

We didn’t try the sandwiches or burgers, but confirmed that GF bread can be subbed for regular bread or buns if we wanted those. Unfortunately their fries (chirps) are not gluten free, but I’m sure staff would be happy to sub hash browns or something else.

100% planning to visit again when we’re back in the area.

Wow, so so impressed by this place!! So many gf options, all delicious, and they have an entirely separate prep area/griddle. I had the eggs Benedict and a marionberry lemonade (my partner got the stuffed hash browns with 3 meats) and can’t wait to go back! Heads up that it’s cash/check only but they do have an atm there.

This was the BEST gf breakfast I’ve had in years hands down! I had low expectations of gf offerings in a small town but boy was I wrong! This beats breakfasts I’ve had in major cities with thriving food scenes. This is getting redundant, but I had the best hash browns, best omelet, best pancake, and best toast ever! The server was very knowledgeable about gf and I felt safe eating there. No adverse reactions later. Bonus: they make their own homemade Marionberry and strawberry jams. Next time we visit the Oregon Coast, we’ll be sure to stop in Florence to come to the Little Brown Hen!

Loved this place. Good food, separate griddle for breakfasts, including GF toast. Staff was knowledgeable and patient. Ambience is iffy outside, since you're sitting next to a highway, but it was still nice to be outside in the sun. Would go again. I had scrambled eggs with bacon and toast.

Great experience, friendly staff, outdoor seating options, lots of delicious GF breakfast items. Server was very aware of cross contact and they have a separate grill for hash browns, pancakes, etc. I had eggs Benedict (with GF toast) and hash browns that were outstanding and didn’t get sick. Highly recommend!

The food here was so delicious and our server was very knowledgeable and supportive when I communicated that I have celiac disease (apparently she has siblings with celiac). I had not eaten hash browns at a restaurant since before my celiac disease diagnosis over a year ago - and they were phenomenal! I live in Portland but will definitely be traveling to Florence area again soon to eat at this restaurant.

Such a wonderful experience today! The owner was our server and advised they do all gluten free items on a separate grill! GF items are clearly marked on the menu. I got corned beef hash and a pancake (which was huge!) The pancake was the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back here!

The Little Brown Hen Cafe is the most incredible restaurant I’ve ever stumbled upon. Not often do you find gluten free accommodations at comfort food cafes, but it’s clear this mom and pop shop puts an astounding amount of effort into creating a welcoming space full of comfort food for everyone. They have easily the best gluten free pancakes I’ve ever tried, and everything is made completely from scratch. I can’t wait to go back!

Excellent breakfast. We went on a Sunday, after church and they offer the BIGGEST plate-sized gluten free pancake we have ever seen. My 9 yo gave it a big thumbs up! Lots of options from scrambles to omelets. GF toast was good especially with homemade jam! Great find! Cash or check only so be prepared. They have an ATM inside for convenience.
