The waitress was knowledgable about celiac and said they prepare GF food in a separate station and have separate toasters. They have a gluten free menu. I had eggs, bacon, seasoned potatoes & toast and all came out safe. Also we’re able to accommodate my dairy allergy easily.

The food was very good and the staff was very careful and knowledgeable but the time it took them to serve the food was ridiculous. We were sitting there for about one hour before served!

the slowest of slow service. food was just ok. my husband's non-gf fries were burnt and no waitress for the longest time to fix. my daughters gf sandwich was good but over priced. $12.50 for a kids Turkey and Cheese is ridiculous.no specific gf items on kids menu. cool historic building. loud dining room.

I have Celiac and hostess/mgr asked me to let waitress know, which I did. I got omelet with side of potatoes and gf toast. Toast came dry which I appreciate so no cc with butter. Everything was delicious! Staff very accommodating. Would recommend.

Separate Gluten-Free menu came automatically with the traditional menu when we were seated. Options were toast, English muffins and French toast. There are Gluten-Free Muffins available and a chocolate flour-free cake on display in the pastry window.

We stopped in for breakfast and I am so glad we did. First off, this place is so charming and the staff are so friendly. It is a cute Victorian home that has been transformed into an adorable cafe with outdoor seating as well. We got three gluten free meals; eggs, home fries, and English muffin, French toast, and Monte Cristo. I had the Monte Cristo, 2 slices of French toast with ham and Swiss between, with syrup for dipping! Oh my gosh, so good! They also had muffins that looked good. I definitely would go back!

Ate 3 meals here with no problems. They're great! No gf pancakes but french toast, English muffins, and toast

Great choice for breakfast or lunch with a separate GF menu. We stopped by for breakfast and tried the French toast, and an omelette which were both delicious. Sides available including bacon, home fries, and GF toast or english muffin. Staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. Definitely worth stopping by!
