We’ve eaten a few times at your place since moving to the area, food has been great every single time. I’ll cut to the chase. My partner is celiac. It would appear one of your staffs comprehension of the English language is not satisfactory enough to understand this. She took our order, peanut soup was ordered, we clearly stated no bread please on the side. When the soup arrived, bread was on the plate and the server has absolutely no idea what the issue was and didn’t know what to do. I removed the bread from my partners plate and told her it’s ok now and that I will eat the bread as I’m not celiac, she attempted to take away my plate, I again said it’s ok leave the bread I’ll eat it. The server then lifted my plate and took it away. We then ordered pizza, one gluten free and one ordinary pizza. The same server as before came over to our table, laid down the pizza she was holding and announced it was gluten free!!! 30 seconds later, a tall blonde lady server comes over and announces that the pizza she is holding is gluten free! Summary, your server around 5ft with long black hair simply should not be taking orders for people with food allergies, it’s my observation that her grasp of English isn’t of a good enough standard. I did email however received no reply from 3 weeks ago.

So I walk in and the staff sees me and asks with an attitude can she help me, like I had gotten on her last nerve by walking in. Everyone is entitled to a bad day, I was having a not so great one myself. I am seated in a weird booth where another couple is facing me, like it is our own private VIP section. I also am not in the line of the cameras. I ignore the gut check. I am learning not to do that by what followed... A different server comes over. I tell her I need a minute to order. I make my selection she comes back bringing me water. I also ask for an orange juice, a tuna melt on gluten free bread, and am told they have gluten free pancakes, though not on the menu, so I get an order of that with hash. GF Pancakes: Real syrup too. Nice and fluffy. Verdict: EAT THIS. Tuna Melt: Sad and flavorless. I needed the calories, so I still ate it. The coleslaw was nice though, and still crunchy that came with it. I had to spit out my pickle though. Verdict: SKIP Corn beef hash: My first bite was lovely. The second was like a salt lick from hell. I didn't eat anymore and asked them to refund it. I almost swear my plate was swapped out because it got cold super quickly too. Did they mix old stuff with new and that is why it was super salty? Since I literally only had two bites they refunded this, which I appreciated. Verdict: MAKE SURE IT IS MAFE FRESH. Okay. Orange Juice: WAS NOT ORANGE JUICE. I don't know what the hell it was but it had a similar color though milky looking. Sent this back as well for a refund. Verdict: SKIP. Verdict: EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. One dish out of 3 was good. Not great odds.

Tiny shop with big flavors!!! My oat milk matcha with strawberry was delicious, and I had a fluffy, rice-flour (gluten-free) chiffon cake filled with red beans and a topped with a matcha cream. Delicious!!! They also have tiny cookie samples of their shortbread cookies. There are two seats along a bar at the window. The place is wholly accessible and local people post their businesses here so it has a very neighborhood feel to it!

Was staying in the area and looking for gluten-free options and had the morning glory that was great with a gluten free wrap... I then came back looking for a similar wrap that would hold for 10 hours without going bad during traveling and the guy there was sooooo helpful didn't get his name sadly ... he talked me through all the options and I got what he recommended in the end which held perfectly and was DELICIOUS ❤️ It was my only meal for 24 hours and I was so happy it was a good one 👍 Had the wild rice with quinoa hummus/feta/pickled onions/avocado/greens/seeds just perfect 👌 forgot to take a picture sadly, but here is one after eating 😃😃 Thank you ❤️ your staff is amazing please thank that guy from me he was in the morning shift this Monday he did a great job👍
