Their menu makes it look safer than it is. The menu has extremely detailed allergen k formation about the ingredients, but there appear to be no cross contamination protocols in place.
Unfortunately I’ve been glutened at a different portage bay, but I wasn’t able to confirm it as I’d also eaten a Lady Yum macaron when I’d noticed. How is this related? Well, a few years later we got seated looking into the kitchen at this location. I was clutching my celiac pearls the entire time. The busy, understaffed, employees were rolling burritos and grabbing bacon and breakfast potatoes with the same set of gloves. The man poaching eggs was setting the ladle directly on English muffins. I couldn’t count the number of things I saw go wrong while waiting for my food.
The staff was kind and got out a new batch of potatoes for me but that was about all I felt ok eating that day.
If I ever want to return, I’ll have to confirm with management that training has consistently improved and been followed
Delicious GF Swedish pancakes! They also have GF French toast and other varieties of GF pancakes. Service was slow and inattentive, though, and some of our food came out cold.
Great menu options, but our son with life threatening allergies to wheat, barley and oats has had a reaction here the last 2 times we have eaten so we won't be returning.
Yay for breakfast options! There is a fantastic breakfast bar (fruits, whipped cream, etc.) with possible contamination issues as it is buffet style, but I tried my best and didn't get any symptoms.The French toast, crepes (special), and porridge are delicious. It's a very loud environment, you might have a long wait (make reservations), but the staff is great and the food is absolutely worth it.
French toast! Oh... My... Goodness it's heaven! Bf (celiac) had a small reaction last time but was fine in previous visits. Very delicious.
I loved the lemon ricotta pancakes and was excited to learn they included a trip to the berry bar for extra toppings. I also had a half serving of the Farmers Hash Bowl which was delicious. The gluten free bread was not memorable. I’d skip the toast and eat more pancakes next time.
Really enjoyed eating here. Wait staff was nice and knowledgeable. They have banana pancakes that are dairy free and gluten-free and an assortment of other pancakes that are gluten-free, however they do have dairy in them. I enjoyed one of their bowls and did not feel sick the day after eating here. I’d recommend this restaurant for celiacs!
