People's Organic Cafe

Celiac friendly?

No

Not very knowledgeable staff. I asked to speak to the chef and I was told today their kitchen is too small to really be confident that anything is gluten free. I got a very basic salad and managed to get sick.

I have been here multiple times, probably 5. And most of the time it is great. But twice I was given a burger with a wheat bun and then sent it back and got the same patty on gluten free bread, and then had to send it back again to ask for an all new patty. Just be very clear I guess that you need gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of GF options. They don't have a separate menu, but the menu is clearly labeled with GF items.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free options available. Their breakfast bowl was amazing.

Celiac friendly?

No

not safe for those with celiac. yummy looking brownies labeled as g.f are open to air in bakery display case--adjacent to regular brownies. educated staff about cross contact risks with this--this was shrugged off. if this lack of concern is in the front where you can see it....how much lower are the standards in the kitchen where we dont see?

Celiac friendly?

No

Got glutened there. Asked 3 employees about the meal I ordered and they all said it was safe. I was throwing up within an hour.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu choices clearly marked as gluten free. Lots of vegetarian and vegan gluten free options, which is refreshing and much appreciated by this celiac vegetarian.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but was very disappointed. I ordered the black bean tostada and asked it if it would be deep fried because I have Celiac and was worried about cross contamination. I was told it wasn’t and was safe. When I got my order after the 1st bite I realized it was clearly fried. I spoke to the person who told me it was not fried and she said they pan fry/don’t have a fryer so that was why she said no. She said If the cashier put GF on the order it would’ve been fried In a new/clean pan. The cashier did not put it on the order (I made it clear I needed GF because of celiac/allergy) so it was fried in a pan that other food had been fried in. Clearly all staff is not trained in what to do for people who require GF. In a Restaurant that clearly labels items as GF that is unacceptable. They made me a new one but I all in all I waited about an hour to get my food. I was starving and the food was just mediocre - beans were way overcooked and the dish was barely warm. I wouldn’t come here again.

3 stars for at least being knowledgeable about prep process and contamination. The order taker said that they would have “a lot of cross-contamination” and suggested that I should not eat there. I took her advice.

Celiac friendly?

No

Slow service. Staff is not well educated. Had to have my order remade and it was still cross contaminated. Sick within minutes if finishing food. Avoid!

Only ate here once but they can make their sandwiches gluten free and it was delicious

Celiac friendly?

No

A bit expensive and not total GF! Liked the atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place has 90% gluten free applicable menu. I was really excited to have some gluten free grilled cheese, but to no avail. It was a small portioned, over priced, gritty sand which. And it gave me a TERRIBLE reaction, even when I made VERY clear that I had celiac disease. DO NOT ATTEND IF MODERATELY SENSITIVE.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have been there several times. The last couple times my orders did not get made GF had to send back twice on same order. I gave up at that point and left

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered the GF organic burger and fries. Got sick...

Food is okay but you need a lot of extra time for the extremely SLOW service. I would not recommend. They really need better help!!

Lots of GF, DF and vegetarian options. We had a celiac, a vegetarian gluten sensitive and two members without dietary restrictions in our party. Everyone enjoyed their food and wanted to go back at some point. Dedicated fryer, no one got sick, staff was knowledgeable and menu was clearly labeled.

Love the GF chocolate covered Rice Krispie!

The waitress was very understanding about preventing cross contamination. However after placing my order and requesting a clean surface she returned and said how embarrassed she was but the cooks were unwilling to clean the surface today. I chose to have a drink while my husband ate his lunch - their unwillingness to clean the surface made me concerned that they would not even take care to prevent cross contamination with a salad. She then suggested a sweet treat that is made at a gf facility so I can eat something. I will not be returning because of their disregard for gluten free safety - but I cannot rave enough about our waitress. She was so empathetic and kind.

Amazing food. The waffles are soooo good! Also loved the strawberry scone! The macaroni is a bit heavy but the sharp flavor is nice. I'm very sensitive and have never been glutened after any of my meals.

No

No longer gluten free friendly. The cook who did a great job with gluten free food quit. They have no plans to replace him. Really disappointing.

food quality varies greatly from day to day, as does service. usually the dinner quality is great. most of the food has been great. wish they had kept the bottled gluten free beer and ciders.

This place is wonderful! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff! The food was fantastic. I am visiting from out of state and we ordered dinner last night. I am planning on going back tonight. So many gluten free Vegan options!!!! I never have options with my diet. Everything was yummy!! My favorite the veggie hash. Highly recommend!
