Overall Rating

Review


Upon the server's recommendation, I opted for a delightful combination of apples and pears generously sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, walnuts, and caramel, topped with powdered sugar and a caramel drizzle—minus the whipped cream.

I appreciated the attentiveness of the wait staff regarding allergens. Upon inquiry, they willingly provided information about the ingredients in their whipped cream, which I avoid due to its inclusion of carrageenan—an ingredient best avoided, especially for those with digestive issues.

While the server provided excellent service, there was a mishap in the kitchen. Instead of my requested dish, they mistakenly prepared a gluten crepe. Despite their effort to rectify the error promptly, I felt the rush affected the quality of my meal. Though the crepe itself was delightful, the raw walnuts and 1 pear and sparse apple slices left something to be desired. Thankfully, a dollop of my pure maple syrup (that I carry with me when a breakfast adventer awaits) salvaged the experience.

Despite this setback, I remain hopeful of returning for a more enjoyable culinary experience. It's worth noting that this cafe takes allergies seriously and is diligent in accommodating dietary restrictions, a commendable aspect reassuring another a visit.
