Starfish Cafe

Had the gluten free pancakes for breakfast. They tasted like French toast! Not what we were expecting but they were good! We always eat here when in Ocean City.

Do not eat here! I ordered a sandwich on gluten free bread. I was very impressed as to how good their “gluten free” bread was. Needless to say I was not served Gluten Free bread and was almost hospitalized due to my pain.

Celiac friendly?

No

I almost left because it said on the menu that gluten and gluten free use the same grill...however, after talking to the chef, I was assured that they would take extra precautions to ensure there was no cross contamination

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We actually ate here for dinner after reading reviews here. 4 stars because we had a very hard time understanding the foreign girl that we were asking questions to- about cross contamination. We actually almost left when I was able to ask a cook about safety. My celiac son was able to order several items after discussing safety an I am happy to report no consequences to eating here!! Everyone else in our party enjoyed their dinner even though no one else was celiac. When we arrived at 6:30 on a Monday night- there was one large party...12 people. They immediately told us that the wait to be served was 40 minutes....which was weird since there was a lot of empty seating. So I would recommend being patient or calling ahead.

So many gf options! Pancakes, French toast, bagels, sandwich bread. Fresh juices, smoothies and smoothie bowls. Our table of 12, including 3 kids, were super happy with everything we ordered. It was dinner time and we all got different things. Some people got breakfast, some sandwiches. Space was clean and bright, bathrooms very clean too. Right off the boardwalk. Staff super nice too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

These people are wonderful! Usually there gluten free pancakes are made with milk and butter, but the woman at the counter said she would accommodate my dietary needs and made gf/df pancakes (using soy milk) just for me! First time I could have pancakes in years. So blessed to have found this place ;)

This place was fantastic. Rice flour gluten-free bread. Staff extremely friendly & helpful. 5 stars!

We have one kid with celiac. We enjoyed GF waffles and pancakes. Also good burgers and omelettes. Fresh juice and soda by the bottle (not cheap). Order and pay in advance. Food delivered to your table. Good service and clean restaurant. We will return!

Delicious gluten free bread. Many sandwich and breakfast options including build your own. Love it and will be back!
