Awesome grocery store and bistro. Not a full service restaurant, but they offer hot lunches from 11-2 Friday and Saturday. Beyond that, it is an AMAZING little grocery with TONS of gluten free offerings. They also have frozen selections of udi’s pizzas and breads, and to-go sandwich lunches. They always make one of the offerings gluten free and have a separate portion of the kitchen for gluten free cooking with separate utensils, cookware, and toaster. VERY knowledgeable about gluten free and will not mark anything gluten free if they are not 100% certain that all ingredients are gluten free. Mary, the owner, was very knowledgeable and super nice to chat with. Highly recommend.

Excellent place to stop for gluten free eating! Great service and absolutely loved the baked goods we tried! We had a soup and sandwich and also shared a big slice of chocolate cake and a mint chocolate torte. Had an apple bar to go. All was gf and wonderful. Had some non-gf options too for those that don't need it. Cook/baker informed us that gf food was cooked with separate cookware.

Great food! Small menu but excellent quality. They also have a good selection of gf baked goods to satisfy your sweet tooth. As a bonus, there is a small grocery store attached with many gf options. Highly recommend. As a celiac I didn't get sick on anything.

Ate dinner here. Most of the menu was labeled GF. Lots of vegetarian/ vegan options too. All of the food and service was excellent. Little grocery store attached as well with lots of GF choices. Would definitely eat here again.

Excellent dining experience, with very friendly service. No trouble dining around 7 pm Saturday without a reservation. May need one for any group, though, as the setting is intimate. Half or more of the selections were gluten-free, and the owner is well-educated in nutrition. The food was delicious, and servings were generous. Great little shop as well!
