Nice little cafe. Order at the front and they bring your food to your table. Had a simple breakfast and tasted good. No adverse reactions. Line was out the door on a Sunday at noon by the time we left. Friendly Staff.

Not my favorite food. Last thing I ordered was something with avocado and fake bacon.That fake bacon was the nastiest thing I've eaten in a while. Kind of uninspiring food to be honest.

Yummy little spot with many gluten free options. Unlike others here I felt very safe with my meal. Had the huevos rancheros and a glass of fresh grapefruit/orange juice.

Ordered a cappuccino and a pistachio orange poppy donut from the display case. The coffee was good and the donut was flavorful but texturally more like a small cake than a donut. I was a little wary of cross contact because they have gluten in the kitchen, but it’s 24 hours later and no symptoms for me!

I was the only one in my family that enjoyed their meal. I got the breakfast sandwich with the egg and it was delicious! None of us got sick!

I've had a breakfast and bought a GF baked item. Had a reaction both times. They do not keep their items separated well enough it seems.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Excellent GF choices and delicious food. And all their house baked muffins, etc are GF. Their menu also marks what is nut free and soy free, which was helpful for me as I also have a tree nut allergy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yes! I ate here and the food was delicious and I felt calm and comfortable with the staff and was even able to trust (and would highly recommend) the chocolate chip cookie.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I'm celiac, and i was very sick after eating a breakfast here... Severe gluten reaction, with pains and nausea 2-3 hours after eating.

Don't go there if you are celiac, even if it's written everywhere that 100% food is GF! it's not a problem of cross contamination considering my reaction : I have no doubt my bagel was not GF.

I'm tired by restaurants which make GF food without knowing celiac disease...

Celiac friendly?

No

Enjoyed my pancakes a lot. The menu says it's not a dedicated facility, but I learned there that that just means they bring in some bread that isn't made in a dedicated facility and sometimes use non gf bread when catering. Otherwise all is GF. It's been more than enough time to tell and I did not get sick (very sensitive celiac). Definitely recommend! Baked goods not quite as good, a little too sweet.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Outstanding breakfast/brunch! My son has celiac and loved everything. Highly recommend!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eaten here many times with my celiac wife. She loves it and hasn't gotten sick. Breakfast tacos are very tasteeeee

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was very, very sick from eating here. I specifically told the person taking my order that I was celiac and was told that everything on the menu is gluten free and I would be fine. Even the cashier said it was. I have been celiac for six years. I can't emphasize enough how sick I was after eating here and came very close to going to the hospital.

Celiac friendly?

No

Got so sick after eating here. Threw up all day wouldn't recommend for celiac people

Awesome!

felt nauseous after eating here

Celiac friendly?

No

got so sick I ended up in the back of an ambulance..... not gf or food poisoning. I think it's both

Celiac friendly?

No

What a cute and quaint restaurant. The menu is diverse and has plenty to choose from. We had a total of 8 people and went for breakfast. They were fast and friendly. Vegan and gluten free which was fantastic for 3 of us who need to follow that sort of diet. Just loved it- would come back next time we are in town!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything on the menu sounds delicious! All are GF and Dairy-free. They're only open 8am to 3pm Tuesday through Sunday. My first time was a great brunch experience. It's a bit of a drive but when I'm in the area, I'd love to stop by every now and then. I can't have spicy or acidic foods so they were willing to accommodate my requests. Everyone was very helpful.
