Review
Had the chicken pesto and sugar monster crepes. Great gluten free options. No dedicated fryer and the milkshakes are not gluten free but staff was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. They even checked the ice cream when I tried to order the milkshake and let me know it was produced in a facility that also processes wheat. Will be coming back

Review
We have 2 kids with Celiac disease and one that is fairly sensitive to gluten contamination. Upon ordering, we clarified that we needed the GF crepes because of Celiac disease (not just lifestyle preference). We asked if a separate griddle was used for the GF food and the server checked with the manager. They indeed use the same griddle but have a specific cleaning protocol. We were quite apprehensive and asked them to please clean it well. Luckily (and surprisingly) neither kids had a reaction. The GF crepes were a hit! We'll definitely be back and will definitely implore them again to clean the griddle well. I do wish they had a separate dedicated griddle but I was impressed with how their protocol did work well. Good value and a hip place!
