Wonderful staff and delicious food. Note that waffles can only be gf or vegan(df), not both. But any menu item can have a gf/df bagel. There are many delicious df/gf sweets in the bakery case as well.
My order originally came out with a pad of butter. One of the owners quickly noticed, took my plate back to have the entire meal remade to absolutely ensure DF, and refunded my meal. I could tell they take allergies very seriously.
Will definitely come by again.

We ordered 3 lots of waffles, very yummy, no reaction. Enjoyed by all. Friendly knowledgeable staff who warned of cross contamination risk as not a solely GF kitchen, but no reaction from our kids.

The service was friendly. Knew about gluten free. No cross contamination. Wonderfully presented food. Having waffles for the first time in years was awesome, they were fluffy and just the best thing I've had in a long time. Would definitely go back again.

Awesome food, seems to be knowledgeable. I'm had eggs Benny. The waffle was Devine. They have a few options. So if you want a waffle fix please don't hesitate to try them out. They can make most of the menu gf 😬
