Crepes were delicious, staff added gluten allergy line item to each crepe we ordered and each came out with a GF pick, but I got glutened anyway. 😣 They were very apologetic and escalated to the manager who offered to compensate us, which was very generous.

Delicious gluten free buckwheat crèpe option! Staff changes gloves and has a separate grill away from the other for gluten free items. Items come out with both a GF label and allergy label. The veggie crèpe was delicious! Unfortunately, fries do not have a dedicated fryer.

Called to let them know I have celiac after placing an online order. The assured me the roasted root veggies were safe but that the French fries used a shared fryer. Luckily those were for the kids not me! But I appreciated their attention to detail.

The food was just okay, it did come out marked gluten free and we felt well afterwards. However, the hour long wait was very disorganized and it took forever to get food. They were out of a lot of things and the staff there the day we went was not friendly.

Tip: If you go, get in line to order your food before you get a table number. We waited an hour for our table, then had to wait in line another 20, and then it took another 20 for the food to come.

Great place for celiac! Ordered a sweet and savory crepe with the buckwheat crepe. Both great and filled with flavor. Salads are also excellent! They mark gluten free and allergy if requesting so zero cross contamination.

I ordered the breakfast monster with a gluten free crepe. It was so delicious. Even the gluten free crepe was great. I ordered takeout online and did not ask the staff questions about cross-contamination, but the hostess was very polite and friendly upon pickup. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Ate on balcony after ordering and paying inside. Crepes were completely buckwheat and came out with two little wooden flags planted in them: one said "allergy", the other "gluten-free". They were good and so was the side of scrambled eggs and cappuccino. Felt safe and would definitely return.

What a tasty treat for Celiac breakfast seekers! Our kids have Celiac and are very sensitive. The restaurant was very knowledgeable about celiac and cross-contamination. For gluten-free crepes, they use buckwheat flour and clean all surfaces, hands and utensils before preparation. Food with allergies comes out with specially marked sticks. Not only did we eat here safely but the food was phenomenal… Absolutely delicious. We will be hitting this place for breakfast every morning we are here in Burlington!

We've been eating at Skinny Pancake several times/year for at least 10 years, and this review is long overdue! With the exception of one time (about 8 years ago when a dessert crepe was accidently made with gluten batter, but we noticed before it was ingested) my daughter with celiac disease has never had a problem. Many years ago it appeared that they ramped up their protocol. When we request the tasty GF batter due to celiac disease the person who takes the order reviews it with us (and even asks if we order the GF batter and forget to mention "due to allergy"), it gets noted on the order ticket, and that person also verbally confirms with the line cooks. The cooking surface gets cleaned and they use separate utensils. The GF crepes also come out with a little bamboo "no gluten" marker.

We're so happy they have several locations so we know we've an option for reliably safe and delicious food when traveling!

GF crepe is chickpea based. Not an amazing crepe but it was good enough especially paired with one of the "savory" menu options. Was asked if it was an allergy and meal came out with Allergy and GF flags in it. Did not get sick.

I was here in early June 2017 and the staff behind the counter seemed to understand celiacs and they promised they would keep everything separate. the crepe was delicious. I am extremely sensitive and did not get sick. Also, they put a little flag in the middle of my crepe to show that it was "allergy"... which impressed me

I got the Cannelloni crepe and the apple crispy, option for gluten free, they state they wipe down the cooking surface and I had little allergy flags in my food which is a good sign! Very delicious. I was slightly weary because of the volume of crepes they were all cooking on the same slabs, but so far so good. Long line and long wait for weekend lunch.

Solid breakfast. Crepes were delicious. As soon as I said gluten free, the cashier asked if it was an allergy, and assured me that they will sterilize the equipment for me, as well as helped me chose safe options to eat. The buckwheat crepe was a bit dry, but the maple syrup helped make our apple, cheddar and sausage crepe a very enjoyable meal.

Tasty! Staff seemed knowledgeable about cross contamination issues. We took a chance on the crepes, they are cooked on a cleaned (not dedicated) griddle. The staff changes gloves and uses separate utensils. There were other gf options aa well. We tend to react with 2 hours, it's been 4 and so far so good! I would trust it for a subsequent visit. Try the apple cider and the ice cream, they were delicious!

I agree with just about everyone here, this place is well worth the visit but most folks now know this so expect lines at peak times.

Food- and gf-wise, delicious! Both sweet and savory are an adventure your taste buds will enjoy. Ingredients are sourced locally too, so grab a fork and wrangle up a gf crepe topped with some free range syrup and cage free strawberries.

Oh, and they have a dedicated crepe griddle and utensils. Bonus!

They clean the griddle before cooking and will happily change gloves. I've eaten at this Skinny Pancake as well as several other locations and have never had an issue! The only GF crepe is buckwheat but there are so many great filling choices!

Pro tip: order two crepes here and eat the second during you layover. Gluten free meals are impossible to find in other airports!

While they have an impressive number of GF options, the food just isn’t that tasty. It’s a fine option if you’re hungry and visiting Quechee. You’ll have the comfort of knowing they take allergies seriously.
