This place is new, and all their staff is new, so I gave them 2 stars instead of 1. The atmosphere is adorable and really trendy, and everything is really new and clean. However, it's a place where they offer "gluten-free" items and apparently don't have any idea about any kind of cross contact. We ordered GF toast and asked if it was made on a dedicated surface, and they said yes. We asked if it was was toasted in a dedicated gluten-free-only toaster, and the girl went to the kitchen to ask, looked puzzled, and came back and said yes. I'm not saying she lied for sure or anything, but my husband did get sick off of the food here. Nothing we ate should have had any gluten. We paid $30 for two pieces of GF toast, 4 scrambled eggs, and two pieces of bacon, with one small coffee. It wasn't worth the money even if he hadn't gotten sick. The friend we went with has other allergies, and when she ordered a donut they could not tell her if it contained coconut or not. First they said no, then yes, then no, then yes again. It's a cute place with decent-tasting food, but they struggle with the allergens in their own menu items, and that's a risky business when allergies are very important.
