Agree with other reviewers—if you have Celiac, this place is not safe for eating at without Great risk of cross contamination. Even the waitstaff will say so. Their food to write home about is (NOT GF) cinnamon rolls, pie, and pizza. Also parking can be Very difficult. But the coffee is great and so is the view from inside the restaurant!

I only came here to get a latte which was pretty solid. I spoke to the server about gluten free, and said I shouldn't eat here at all. They make all their pies and baked goods within the kitchen so they have flour flying everywhere. Don't eat here if you have Celiac, but stopping here for coffee or a latte is fine.

There are many GF options and the staff are very accommodating. You can piece together 3 sides for a large, affordable breakfast, and they don’t have a problem serving their sandwiches without bread. Substitutions are no big deal. I love this place. Parking is very difficult.

I used to love coming here before diagnosed with celiac. It is not safe to eat here. They don’t really care about GF and the wait staff will tell you there is lots of cross contamination

Nothing on the menu is safe for celiacs. Server was honest & said all salad fixings would come in contact with bread. My friends enjoyed their gluten-filled sandwiches.
