It was my first visit to France, and we discovered this cafe online. It had excellent reviews and offered "gluten-free options," which was exactly what my friend needed.
The coffee was amazing; we had lattes and an extra treat ;) The barista brought us a sample of a new blend they source from Costa Rica.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere; the music was great, and so were the treats! The highlight of the experience was the service from the two baristas. They were friendly and kind, and helped me perfect my French. It was horrible, but okay. ;)
Nice option for gluten free, vegan pastries and coffee (they have flat white, chai latte and matcha).
Pastries are beautiful but I often see them exposed in the vitrine with direct heat / sunlight and with flies sometimes on them. Also some of them have quite a strong taste of soda bicarbonate.
Also it’s common in Lille, but a chai latte spices need to be boiled instead of infused in slightly hot water. In result we have pricey chai lattes with no taste 🥲 it looks beautiful though.
Often it’s hard to find a place to sit because there are not a lot of places. One time I was waiting in a line for a long time and there was a last piece of cake left and a guy came from behind saying he wants this cake to go and they let him have it.
Great restaurant, so good we went back a couple of days later for another lunch. Recommend booking as first visit had to wait for a table, but we were made very welcome and had a drink whilst waiting. Good tasty food with vegan and gluten free options available. Can recommend the red wine as well. Friendly and helpful staff.
Fast service and good value for money.
They offer the possibility of having buckwheat pancakes for dessert, which is great for people with gluten intolerance.
The place lacks space but this is more due to the location in general than to this small restaurant.
The service was easily possible in English. Upon request, we were provided with a map of all allergens. Some courses without gluten are available without any problems. Everything was very friendly. The food was good and plentiful.
A lovely little place in Lille, with some good gluten free options.
Pity that my toasted sandwich was actually stone cold. I was hoping to warm up!
A good location and super friendly staff working behind the counter too.
Very rare I would give an all 5 star review but the gluten free Croque was one of the best GF meals I have ever had, they even went to the length of using rice flour in the bechemel sauce. Waitress was super helpful. Had a nice vibe.
