The Fainting Goat Coffee

I was looking for a quick place to get a snack, and I saw they had a few gluten free options online. They had two GF muffins: a chocolate one & a blueberry one! And the only other gluten free bakery good option was a quiche. I got the chocolate muffin and it was pretty good!

Not only is the coffee absolutely amazing but they have an entire separate case for their gluten free goods. The staff is so friendly and kind about making sure you have options and get what sounds good. It's well worth the visit.

I regularly get coffee here, and after being recently diagnosed with celiac, I’ve grown to appreciate their range of gf baked goods. They’re prepared at a dedicated gf facility and transported to the shop, kept in a separate container from other food, and the barista carefully grabs your pastry with wax paper before bagging it. I trust their cleanliness and competence.

They don't have dedicated space but they purchase their GF pastries from a dedicated facility. They are very knowledgable about what beverages are gf. Excellent place for coffee and a pastry!

The Fainting Goat is not an exclusively gluten free facility but they do offer baked goods which are prepared in a separate, gluten free facility (provided by The Dotted Lime). They touch baked goods with wax paper and put them directly in a separate bag. There is no separate microwave for GF food, but it was not a concern for me.

There were three shelves of gluten free baked goods vs. two shelves of regular baked goods. The quality was good and the baked goods seemed fresh.

The staff was super kind and all around great despite the busy atmosphere.

Went there and they had no gluten free options (I asked) so we left. Really disappointed.

Pastries are unbelievable. I had the ham and cheese pinwheel and the cinnamon roll. You know somethings good when you question the fact that they’re gluten free... MUST TRY!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
