Studio Cafe

I was excited to find a gluten free cafe in the area as we are a celiac household... BUT, I asked the the woman who bakes these items, and she was very unaware of cross contamination!

She made peanut clusters with chocolate, and I asked her what kind of peanuts were used for this, and she said, Planter's. I told her... Planter's peanuts are not gluten free due to cross contamination, and she was surprised to know that cross contamination was a thing. I continued to tell her how nuts are a bit no-no unless they are certified GF or they say specifically they are gluten free on the packaging, etc., along with chocolate as a whole, and it was though I was educating the baker on what GF actually means. I was also under the impression that she bakes her goods in her home kitchen... which also makes me question the cross contamination from that as well.

I was incredibly surprised to hear that a place that advertises foods as GF are created by someone who is very unaware of what this means and how it can impacts their customers. Anyhow, I would definitely not recommend this place to someone who has more than a gluten intolerance. Also, they need to change their info, but I think it's fairly unsafe that they are advertising their food as GF. Usually, GF places are really educated on what this means.

NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY

All gluten free baked goods are in their own container. The place is really cute and the staff was sweet. I just got a few cookies for a snack and they were good and no reaction. I'll be back!

Just had a wonderful afternoon pick-me-up here! I found this amazing little spot through this app and enjoyed a delicious gluten and vegan blueberry muffin fresh out of the oven! No reaction + soooo delicious! We spent time talking with the owner who was so lovely, enjoyable, and helpful in recommendations for our stay! Highly recommend! Beautiful space and delicious coffee too!!

Great coffee/tea shop with GF cookies. Non-dairy milk options and very friendly owner.
