Really good! The staff was pretty knowledgeable. I had the eggs on toast and a pastry from the display case with no issues. Really nice place! The menu looks a little confusing as it doesn’t explicitly say gluten free but staff was helpful!

Gluten free menu on the main food menu. Had the GF crepes with banana and GF maple syrup. We were asked when ordering the gluten free whether it was intolerance or celiac. Staff seem very knowledgeable. Food was great.

Really friendly, flexible with food (my son has coeliac; kids menu not GF, so did a half portion from GF menu). Flagged as coeliac on order to kitchen! Excellent food too.
