Good sandwich and hot chocolate! A little bit of confusion while ordering but was cleared up quickly.
Got a GF breakfast sandwich here! Did not get sick, cashier told me they wrap the sandwiches in tin foil before toasting them when I asked if it was a shared toaster.
Lots of options for gluten, dairy free. Also vegan.

Staff was not friendly about cross contamination questions. Said they couldn’t accommodate celiac precautions
Good options, with care about allergies. Staff not so friendly, but food is great.
All the sandwiches can be made gluten-free and they ask you if it’s an allergy they change the surface area and gloves, but it’s not a gluten-free facility. It’s a nice tea place and they do have gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.
Very accommodating place for breakfast and a superior coffee. I had a breakfast sandwich on GF bread with a honey ginger coffee. The coffee was tasty and not super sweet (which I prefer). The sandwich was delicious and the eggs were fluffy. The sweet lady taking my order was very patient!
Food was ok. But we were all a bit put off by the manager’s answers to our questions. He seemed more interested in not being held liable for anything than in explaining how they tried to avoid cross contamination. When we brought up the fact that our kid had celiac he seemed not to know what it was. “Is this life or death?” He asked. “Because we don’t have anything in place to prevent cross contamination and we keep the cocoa powder right next to the flour for example”.
Nice and safe place for celiac people. Delicious GF food.
Lots of GF options. The sandwich was just ok hut felt 100% safe.
Amazing!! Tons of options and understating of cross contamination!
Good selection of sweet answers savoury gluten free items. I ate tiramisu which was lovely and bought a rice krispie slice to takeaway.
Thinking Cup is my go-to for grilled cheese. If you are lucky, they will have special gluten free baked goods that are always yummy. The staff at all three locations are knowledgeable and understand precautions needed to avoid cross-contamination. There was only one time that an order was not made with gluten free bread. I noticed the mistake immediately when the order came out. The staff were very apologetic and quickly made a new order on gluten free bread.
This is a favorite of mine. They have bakery items and sandwiches. The menu is clearly marked.
They have gluten free bread for breakfast sandwiches. Was easy to order and the staff asked if it was an allergy or preference likely to use a separate toaster. I don’t have a serious cross contamination issue so no problem for me! Great coffee too.
I went for breakfast ordered a vegan snickerdoodle that was suppose to be gluten and dairy free. I also had a turkey sandwich with gluten free bread. I told them I had an allergy and it didn't seem like they cared too much. I ended up sick and had to return to my hotel room. The bread was soft and good, but not worth the pain and discomfort I'm in. The snickerdoodle wasnt that good and tasted like a ball of sugary bread dough. The cold brew was really good and safe so if you have allergies and can't handle cross contamination then pass up the food and just get something to drink.
All sandwiches can be made gf, they grill it using separate equipment. Had gf sweets as well
All their sandwiches can be made on gluten free bread and I was confident they take measures to prevent cross-contamination. The cashier was proactive and asked if my gluten free bread request was for "an allergy" so they wouldn't toast my bread. It was really delicious and the bread was so soft! I'd go back and try a pastry next time!
so delicious! cookies are a great size and also love the vibe.
Good amount of gluten free options between the gf pastries and gf bread that can be subbed for most sandwiches! The staff seemed pretty aware and I didn’t get sick from the toast- just make sure to let them know it’s an allergy!
Handy little shop that does ok. Lots of charm and a dedicated toaster for gf bread. Prices are fair!
Ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on gluten free bread. Sandwich was very good and hot. Staff was uncertain if tea blends were gluten free so I skipped it. The only problem was the block it was located, across from the Commons, had a lot of ruckus, panhandlers, a couple of guys talking to themselves, yelling at no one and some swearing. My daughter was uncomfortable and we probably wouldn’t go back for that reason. It’s a shame, very nice place inside and really good sandwich.
Delicious breakfast sandwich with many more options for lunch and dessert. When I placed my order and asked for gluten free bread they immediately asked if it was a choice or allergy. I would come back every morning
All sandwiches can be made gf and if you inform them that it is an allergy they take extra precautions. Everything was delicious!
GF options especially the Blueberry Donut was amazing, thank you!
Love this place...loved it before celiac diagnosis and never been disappointed with their gf offerings. Try the chocolate chip cookie.
They had a gluten free key lime pie that really hit the spot when I stopped in on a hot day, and I didn't have a reaction or any problems. Very happy with the coffee and the service too.
Had the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and it was warm and delicious ! They asked if I had an allergy or preference so they prepare it differently with an allergy. Also got the lemon blueberry donut and it was really good !
Separate gluten free menu. Gluten free bread and wraps available. Waitress asked if I had an allergy or not. Recommended.
I asked questions about my grilled cheese and they assured me they take precautions to avoid cross contamination. My food took longer to make, so I was reassured that I’d be fine, but ended up VERY sick. It was definitely GF bread, but there must be cross contamination occurring in their kitchen.
Picked up GF tiramisu and neopolitan to go. Tasty desserts and no celiac issues (there were non GF items in the case on lower shelves).
They use the same toaster for their gluten free foods. We left without eating anything.
It took longer to make my food because of the gluten issue- a good sign in my book. Sandwich was good and tested negative for gluten on my Nima.
I asked them about their cross contamination practices for grilled cheese. The sandwiches are prepared and cooked on the same surfaces. We didn't even stay
Great options, have GF bread along with lots of treats. Everything is labeled very well. Even GF and vegan options
You can eat every sandwich glutenfree. They also have glutenfree cake and many more sweets.
Love the sandwiches here. They use gf bread and always ask if it’s an allergy or a preference. I have been there several times and have never had a problem.
The first time I went to the thinking cup I got a gf sandwich and donut and had no issues. The second time, however, I had a REALLY bad reaction to the tiramisu, which I was assured was gluten free and was listed as gf on their menu. Not sure if it was cross contaminated during baking or during serving, or if it just straight up contains gluten, but I might as well have had a slice of white bread, for the reaction I had.
Best gluten free desserts! Have never gotten sick eating here and usually stop by multiple times a week!
Nice coffee shop with good dessert and sandwich options for GF diners. We had the cocoa pebbles donuts for breakfast as I didn’t see any other gf breakfast options, but the sandwiches looked delicious. Didn’t have any negative gluten issues in my experience.
Great gf options! Any sandwich on gf bread, various gf baked goods depending on the day! Chocolate chip cookie isn't bad, blueberry donut is great! Staff verifies if it is an allergy or preference to ensure safety!
Knowledgeable staff. All sandwiches could be made on GF bread

We had a wonderful experience. Delicious breakfast sandwiches on GF bread and chocolate chip cookies for a treat.
Cute place, staff was helpful with gluten intolerance. Coffee was excellent! They had great to go quinoa salads, fruit and parfaits plus a few GF dessert options. Their sandwiches can be made with GF bread. Doubt it would be good for celiac but was good for intolerance. Stop by!
My two girls have celiac. They were able to enjoy a hot breakfast sandwich in the morning then a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich with amazing tiramisu. They did not get sick and really enjoyed their meals
They offer gluten free breakfast sandwiches and sometimes have gluten free desserts that are made in house and so good.
delicious breakfast sandwiches and super yummy! lots of variety in options for what you can get inside. make sure to specify allergy
