Review


There is a lot about this place and especially the space is nice, but from a gluten perspective I wouldn’t go there. Staff are not trained. There is a lot of cross contamination, even with the normal drinks because they make their own syrups and I guess don’t clean well between orders, because I got really sick from a lavender latte I was told definitely didn’t have gluten (other syrups do). Minimal gluten free offerings. I hope it improves.

I really like the setting. However, there are hardly any gluten-free options. The syrups they make in-house are supposed to be gluten-free, but I definitely had a reaction. Hard to say if they were not gluten free or if there was cross contamination, as the wait staff did not seem to know. All in all a nice place to sit, but I usually eat before I go there.

Limited gluten free breakfast choices listed in online menu. Had eggs and bacon (no GF bread) which was tasty. Very good coffee and tea options. Pleasant tree shaded outdoor garden seating. Dog and kid friendly.

This was a cute little cafe with gluten free options. I had the overnight oats which were delicious.
