Wow I walked in and they told me they can make pretty much anything gluten free! I saw cookies on the table and ended up buying some as well! Everything was amazing and I will definitely be back!

The food was amazing and very safe. Owners son is Celiac. Separate waffle iron and fryer. Almost anything on the menue can be made gluten free. The waffles were some of the best I've ever had.

Delicious! Try the Em&Jen Quesadilla. Can do most items GF. They don’t have a separate fryer but can fry on the stovetop.

Stopped in looking to see if they had any gluten free options. Many options and they understand celiacs as the owner has been cooking/baking for her son for 16 years. Banana Pecan Waffles were light and delicious.
