Purple Finch Cafe

Celiac friendly?

No

We chose the place due to the high gluten free ratings. My wife has both celiac and dairy allergies, which she told the waitress when she ordered the maple turkey sandwich with GF bread, no cheese or butter. When we received the order, the bread (couldn’t tell if GF) had been buttered and grilled. When this was mentioned they took it back and replaced the sandwich with un-grilled bread that appeared to be GF. They either used the same plate or got it cross contaminated as she got very sick within one hour. We won’t be back.

I eat here regularly at lunchtime since I work close by. I’ve been coming here for about two years and in all that time I only ate breakfast once and it was so-so. But lunches are excellent from a person with celiac disease viewpoint. They have a full size, awesome tasting GF bread they use for sandwiches that I really wish I could buy for my home (why can’t we?!). The 603, Reuben, and tuna melt, are all outstanding. I also really enjoy their salads; the Mediterranean and the Birkenstock especially. As long as I’ve been eating here, the joint’s been owned/managed by folks with celiac, I understand, and so they take extra care with your food if you let them know. Servers are well-trained in GF as well as kitchen staff. I’ve never had even an inkling of an instance of a problem. I’d give them six stars if they were open for supper too. This is an updated review from two years ago.

FAVORITE place to get an amazing gluten free breakfast! Their OJ is also AMAZING!!

I just had a fantastic gluten free breakfast here: pancakes, hash, eggs, home fries. Lots of options! The meal and service were exceptional. The waitress even offered to give me the water to go. My new favorite breakfast place! Will be back to try the lunch.

Knowledgeable staff, consistently good food. GF waffles with strawberries and bananas add the bacon and real maple syrup. It’s a home run!

Excellent GF Waffles!! The have a great breakfast sandwich too. I come here everytimeI'm in NH🤗

Decided to stop here on my way to VT because of all the great reviews but I must be really picky because although I didn’t get sick from eating here I did not think their food was that great compared to all of the other reviews. Their gf pancakes were not good to me at all. The Udi’s bread was hard as a rock and so was their shredded hash browns. The only thing that saved it for me was the bacon. To top it all off the service was extremely slow.

I can’t say enough about this gem. We were just passing through town yet felt like family. GF needs are beautifully accommodated: my Celiac daughter and celiac self split avocado toast and harvest French toast...absolutely delicious. Love that the 3 breakfast-eaters in our clan could enjoy the full bfast menu while the one holdout could happily eat from the lunch menu, even on a weekday.
