Delicious food and super quick service! Went two days in a row for breakfast. Scrambled eggs on gf toast one day and French toast the next. The gf bread was soft and generous (it was so good I had to check it was actually gf!) Great coffee and hot chocolates too

I went there this morning for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a cute little cafe with some gluten free options and they were very understanding of my issues. I had the eggs Benedict with a tea. It was super yummy and I would definitely go back

Knowledge about celiac disease. I got the gluten free avocado toast which was absolutely delicious. However, I didn’t feel comfortable with getting the toast toasted since they are using the same toaster. Apparently they clean it before toasting gluten free bread but I just didn’t feel safe since toasters can be quite hard to clean. Apart from that I can definitely recommend it!

Nice cafe - dedicated work desks if needed. Coffee excellent (La Marzocco machine). GFO poached egg on toast was lovely.

Went there for breakfast. Got the French toast. Was delicious! Had dairy free hot chocolate too, which had real chocolate in and was a great experience.
