Just leaving the restaurant now, as prior review stated, the menu has “GS” labels for gluten safe foods, and their crepes are made with GF batter! I informed the waitress of being GF and she was prompt to inform the kitchen- also coming back to let me know the home fries couldn’t be guaranteed not cross contaminated so I was offered fruit instead- beyond happy with the heads up and consideration. Felt great to eat brunch without fear. Great experience.

RESTAURANT The environment is quite pleasant, bright and spacious although for me a bit cool. Bring a jacket or sweater. MENU The menu is clearly marked for Gluten sensitivity and vegetarian. There are many options *Cross contamination is a strong possibility. *Food can be adapted *Home fries are deep fried and not in a dedicated fryer. They won’t grill them for you. They offer fruit for an extra cost or tomato slices as an alternative - the fruit bowl is awesome and way better than home fries. Fresh, a lot of different kinds of fruit! Very enjoyable *They do offer gluten free bread but not a dedicated toaster so order non toasted or ask them to grill the toast SERVICE We had good service, attentive and once the food was delivered she double checked to see if we were happy with the gluten free. Waitress was knowledgeable and offered suggestions. WHAT WE ORDERED I had avacado toast Lox with salmon. Hubby had an omelette Both meals had wonderful presentation. RECOMMENDATIONS & WHY Have bread grille Don’t order home fries but DO get the fruit bowl instead. OVERALL REVIEW It was a nicely decorated restaurant, bright and airy. I was glad there was t any loud music to contend with. We were both pleasantly surprised how delightful everything tasted. We especially appreciated the transparency of their gluten free choices and procedures. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! I encourage you to ask all the right questions when ordering!

Have been lied to by staff about how they prepare their potatoes. Was told on over 15 separate occasions that they can make the potatoes safe and only now am I finding out that they use a shared fryer and not cooked in a pan as previously told to us. Incredibly angry that we have been told lies time and time again. The general manager only apologized and said she would train her staff better!!! UNBELIEVABLE and horrible service from this establishment

We stopped in for brunch last weekend. I ordered the Norwegian Benedict with spicy hollandaise on GF bread. The server said the bread isn’t actually toasted, so the benedicts can be safely made GF. She also said the potatoes are not safe (shared fryer and the seasoning also may not be GF), so I swapped them for a fruit bowl and was not disappointed! All the fruit was perfectly ripe and it was a good-sized bowl. I also had a lavender lemon latte with almond milk, and loved it. Husband had the gluten-filled version of the Chicago Benedict with the potatoes and said it was all really good. We agreed the hollandaise was not actually spicy, as billed, but it was really tasty, and the kitchen nailed the poached eggs on both our plates. No reaction afterward.

Zero stars for Celiac-safe! I have tried various locations and they are extremely unwilling to even cook an egg in a pan separate from their gluten-contaminated areas. And the service was horrible at 2 locations I have tried, including from the MANAGER!? Their "gluten-free" claim is just that..a claim and not actually true! I will never eat at another Pur & Simple again! EDIT: Since I cannot give zero stars on my review, I'm adding the 1 star but they don't deserve it in my opinion.
