Love how careful they are with food intolerance and allergy. I come here every time I visit my family in Seattle. They are very helpful and willing to have conversations about the food and cross contamination. I am very sensitive Celiac and have never gotten sick.

I’ve been glutened here twice within the past year which left me sick for days! They gave me whole wheat toast one time when I specified gluten free celiac many times. I also got sick from when they used my gluten free bread in a normal toaster! Do not trust them anymore :(

Notified them I was celiac. Personally watched the cook handle bread and cut bread and then touch my food. Don’t eat here if you’re celiac.

The gf bread was freshly baked, the dish was excellent, and there was an allergy marker on the plate. Perfect!

I always have the Swedish Pancakes with Lingonberries and butter. Absolutely delicious!!! You are also welcome to help yourselves to the numerous bowls of various berries, fruits and whipped cream available at the counter. I have never had an issue with these pancakes. They are made with tapioca flour and cornstarch.

I’ve eaten breakfast here several times now and never had a problem. I always double-check that they’re toasting my bread in a GF toaster and I request a new/clean jar of jam, and they’ve always been happy to oblige. I haven’t tried pancakes or French toast, though - only classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast.

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.

Solid breakfast place! A bit pricey but good food. I would not use the pancake bar if you are sensitive to cross contamination.

The server was very kind and assured me they would clean the area/utensils before making my food. My plate even came with a little toothpick in it that said “allergy” :) the menu has a lot of gf options clearly labeled. It was a very positive experience!

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!
