We had a great breakfast here. My daughter has Celiac and everything was fine. She had a GF wrap sandwich and loved it.

Got the gluten free french toast! It was delicious! It's been years since I've had french toast!

Not Celiac Friendly. Risk of cross-contamination with gluten friendly pancakes and waffles. Gluten free bread and other bread toasted in shared toaster. Stick with eggs prepared in a separate, clean frying pan.

Had the gluten-free waffle that is supposed to come with powdered sugar and fruit compote. I ordered this through Postmates, and since it was being delivered I asked for the fruit to be on the side. The fruit did come on the side however it was a very sparse amount of fruit. The waffle was decent, had a bit of an odd aftertaste. If you order turkey bacon be sure to ask for it to be well done as mine was very soggy/sloppy.

Not celiac safe!!! Shared toaster for the three types of gluten free bread(really you can’t buy a separate toaster)! I was told shared grill for everything.

Celiac friendly?

No

The menu has a disclaimer that they cook food in the same area as other food and they are just gluten-friendly. We were about to leave when the waitress came to our table. She said they would clean the surfaces and utensils used to limit contamination. We stayed and ordered the gluten free pancakes and French toast. Both were excellent and we are feeling fine.

Plenty of gluten free offerings, but the staff are explicit about the fact that they’ll take no steps to avoid cross-contamination. Definitely not celiac safe.

No

Poor service and not really flexible menu. Staff was not well versed. Messed up my daughters gf meal and had to wait 20mins more.

Have always been safe at famous toast! They have gluten free bread and pancakes and never have been sick. One thing to note that the gluten free waffles are in shared equipment, so I will never risk that.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was tasty. Kids had GF Pancakes and French Toast and I had an omelette. MIL had a GF breakfast wrap and enjoyed it too. **BE AWARE, according to staff and menu, they DO NOT have separate prep areas or equipment for GF.** Their GF waffles and toast are prepared with shared equipment. I was able to request a clean pan for our GF items but you MUST specify or they will use the shared flat top. I opted to not chance the toast and as I am very sensitive to CC, and I asked them to be extremely cautious. So far, so good... fingers are crossed as we are on a 15 hour drive back home now.

**Edited again. I ended up quite ill within a few hours of eating here. So disappointing.

I have died and gone to heaven! Best gluten free pancakes with blueberries I have ever had! Great bacon. Crisp. Thick. Wonderful and friendly service. Great value. I have had celiac for twelve years and this place is well worth the drive. gF French toast and waffles too. The decaf is better than the caffeinated coffee.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu offers gluten-free items but does not cook or prepare these items separately.I had “gluten free” French toast yesterday and I was sick the rest of the afternoon.

No

Set up to accommodate GF diets but I’m not sure if it’s great for super-sensitive celiacs. Very chaotic and busy when we were there on weekend, with some food mixups, long waits, and distracted waitstaff who were clearly just trying to get thru the rush. My celiac son was fine afterward and enjoyed his sandwich, but he isn’t usually affected by cross-contamination. Not sure I’d trust, especially busy times, for the two sensitive celiacs in the family. There are a good number of GF menu options, though, which is nice for a family or larger group.

This restaurant is not suitable for celiacs. I tested the gluten-free pancakes with the Nima sensor and gluten was found. I also tested the sausage and gluten was found there too.

Amazing staff and owner Brian was very helpful. I have eaten here several times. He actually brought their new GF bread for us to sample and I loved and he sent me home with a loaf of their GF bread

I ordered the avocado omelette with gf toast and it was SO good! Perfect amount of food, delicious, and no cross contamination

The gluten free pancakes were the best we’ve ever had. They also offer GF French toast & GF waffles. We are not celiac so not sure if it’s 100% celiac friendly, but staff was fully aware of Gf needs

Friendly staff. Lots of gluten free options

This is not celiac safe. Their website even warns: “While we offer gluten-free products and gluten-sensitive menu items, we are not a gluten-free environment. Our kitchen does not have a separate prep surface, cook tops, or equipment to ensure gluten particles do not come in contact with gluten-sensitive dishes. Chefs prep and cook to order in common areas, and menu items may come in contact with other food products.”

Attempted to go there for gluten free pancakes a while back only to find they have soy in them. With all the options available these days, and soy being a top 8 allergen I just dont see how they keep using it!

I got the gf waffle and it was amazing! Good service, nice people, and good food. They have gf wraps for breakfast burritos, gf waffles, pancakes, French toast (including cinnamon raisen)... Lots of options! ❤

Many GF menu items, and staff seemed educated on cross-contamination measures. I ordered an omelette with fruit on the side, it was much higher quality than a typical breakfast joint. Delicious!

First time we went we had awesome service and they even had gluten free waffles. Second and last time we went we were glutened and not just a little bit, I’m fairly certain our waitress gave us a regular waffle making my daughter sick for months. This is the worst we’d been sick in years so it was definitely not just cross contamination.

No

This location is closed permanently.

I am allergic to gluten. I told my waitress this and she then told me all the things I could have. French toast being one of them. It was really good! I can’t remember the last time I had French toast! I had no reaction and I am very sensitive! They do have a note on the menu about the possibility’s of cross contamination.

The gluten free pancakes were delicious! The menu says they don’t have separate preparation and cooking areas. We did talk to the manager, James, and he said that he can’t guarantee there is no cross contamination, but that he and his team do clean, change gloves and take precautions. Because of that (which is the norm for many restaurants) I’m not saying it’s celiac friendly, but they do try. And they are very upfront about that.

The manager has food allergies so he is very serious about taking care of those with needs like ours. most everything on their menu can be made GF. I have only eaten breakfast. it was great. Not my favorite pancakes, but still good. great staff too!

Terrible terrible experience. NOT SAFE AT ALL. Ordered a breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread without cheese. Clearly came out with the wrong bread and cheese on it. Took 20 minutes to re-make so everyone else was done by the time I got my food. Reassured it was gluten free. Took one bite and knew right away it was not gluten free. Asked again and guess what? It wasn’t. The kitchen is clueless and now I get to be sick for days.

I ate here for breakfast. Yes, this restaurant had gluten free breakfast options- gluten free French toast, white/multigrain and cinnamon raisin toast and pancakes. While this is more than most, I was disappointed and frustrated because the French toast and pancakes both contained dairy in the batter. The breakfast potatoes were covered in butter. As I know a lot of people with gluten issues have dairy issues too, I wanted to mention this. Also, the restaurant felt like a chain. It was very plain and cheap feeling. Not a great cozy breakfast/brunch spot. However, they did have gluten free options for breakfast.

Waiter was very helpful and explained that they only have one toaster and one griddle for all gluten free items. Bread is Udi’s so I ordered that and made a jelly sandwich for my son and didn’t have it toasted to go along with his eggs. I had an omelet and fruit and all was safe. I wouldn’t chance the cross contamination with their GF items on the stove top or toaster.

Great gluten free breakfast options and wraps for lunch!

My favorite breakfast and lunch place! Military discount. Lovely place. Pancakes, French toast, sandwiches. NEVER been sick and I am highly sensitive. Limited hours is my only disappointment

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Hands down, my favorite gluten free breakfast place. He stuffed French toast is delish. They have a great selection of gluten free items.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was great! They do warn on the menu that there aren’t separate surfaces/spaces for GF prep. I can usually handle a bit of cross-contamination, but if you can’t - might be safer to skip it though you’ll be missing out on some awesome food. AND on Thursdays & Friday’s they offer free mimosas!!

I got the stuffed French toast with a side of sausage and it was so good. Staff are very knowledgeable to avoid cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Famous Toastery became a favorite of mine as soon as I found out they had gluten free french toast. It’s not out of this world or anything but it is good and a good place to go for Sunday brunch especially since they have a dedicated kitchen space for GF orders and take allergies seriously! They have GF pancakes, wraps and bread for sandwiches.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cross contamination issues - used Nima gluten tester on my gluten free pancake and it came back as not safe

Love their gluten free pancakes and French toast!!!

Delicious, charming breakfast spot! Waiters are knowledgeable about gluten free and very friendly. And the gluten free options are labeled on the menu. Highly recommend.

great food but have gotten sick once or twice

Celiac friendly?

No

Knowledgeable about food allergies, and the food was fresh and delicious

Lots of GF choices. My GF blueberry pancake was not fully cooked- I sent it back. Second one came out perfect and piping hot. Not as flavorful as what I make at home but a good option still.

This place is Awesome!!! So many gluten free options. The strawberry and cream cheese french toast is amazing!!! The OJ is fresh squeezed and for those that don’t order this you would be missing out. It is absolutely delish!!!! I am sure everything is awesome so you really can’t go wrong. They even have organic ketchup and pure maple syrup!!!! Coffee is well above average and service is top notch!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is so awesome, I’m still sitting here eating while I review it. My husband and I got a omelette to split, it came with gf toast and potatoes and we ordered a gf pancake on the side. It came out on two plates, we each got a little omelette, a piece of toast, and potatoes with a huge pancake on the side. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 what is this life?!?

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of GF options, but NO dedicated space or prep items. They offer GF waffles with no dedicated waffle iron and GF toast with no dedicated toaster. I had banana nut pancakes giving close instruction and had no trouble. Felt good and the food was great. On the flip side, the gluten eaters I went with were not pleased. Coffee was terrible, potatoes were old, omelets were cold, and toast wasn't toasted. At least I got good GF pancakes though! Lol
