The Black Cat Cafe

The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. I had buttermilk pancakes and they were so good I was concerned they gave me normal ones!!!

There is gluten free bread options for all sandwiches. The gluten free pancakes we were told were amazing. My celiac daughter wanted grilled cheese and was happy with it. The chef frequently comes out to chat with customers and was very aware and safe and concerned for our celiac daughter.

Charming little cafe--small space, wobbly tables and mis-matched linens--but they are a non-profit that supports feline rescues and several prospective adoptees are available in the small lobby/gift shop. The owner was running the front of the house alone during our visit, but handled things very effective and efficiently. The few tables were practically full and we saw little turn over so arrive early-also know that there are only 4 parking spaces and street parking is limited--but there aren't but a few tables anyway. BUT the FOOD WAS FANTASTIC! Several GF options and many precautions in ordering. Get the Tigger! No CC issues 24 hours later. Highly recommend.

Great experience! Can make their signature egg dishes with a gluten free English muffin. I had to explain cross contamination but they were super understanding and cautious. Coffee is great too.

I tried this place for breakfast while visiting in Philly and what a nice cozy little place with amazing food! I haven’t had French toast in a long time due to not being able to have gluten and they were able to meet my dietary needs. I felt very confident in how they prepared everything and I was not disappointed.

This place is not dedicated gluten free but has several GF items on the menu including pancakes, French toast and GF bread for sandwiches. It is an adorable place with a cat theme and cat related art work all over the walls. They donate proceeds to a cat rescue and have kittens there for adoption. The service and food were good. The chef came out and greeted us which was nice. We will definitely be back.

Outstanding for vegan and gluten free options. If you let them know you have Celiac's they take it VERY seriously and use separate pans, utensils, toaster, etc. Cook came out personally to let us know their celiac precautions. I've never felt more confident eating somewhere.
