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.

Be careful about this place!

Every single time I had come here in the past, I was told the crepes were the safest option for me to order on the menu (from a cross contamination perspective). The last time I went here, I had a new server tell me that my usual crepe order actually contained gluten in the cream!!! He actually went into the kitchen and double checked the ingredients. He said he had told the restaurant to take it off the menu because it’s not gluten free but it hasn’t happened yet and the other servers don’t get it.

He also told me that there are two fryers and they have one for gluten free and the other for non gluten free on weekends and and during the week they use one fryer for “everything”.. not sure how extensively they clean these or if all the staff remembers which fryer is which on week days vs weekends..

I don’t feel very safe coming back here.

This place has gluten free eggs Benedict and they have the good sauce (I don’t like the browned butter sauce offered at other places). They have GF crepes, omelettes, skillets, avocado toast, power bowl, smoothies and just your regular eggs and bacon meal. I had the eggs Benedict classic which was great. Great service!
