I felt like I was in Heaven when I walked in! 100% gluten-free! I could have anything! This was the best grilled cheese I’ve had in my life! And my blueberry scone was amazing! I took the coffee cake with me for breakfast tomorrow! I cannot wait until my next visit!! And they make ordering ahead on their App so easy!

Food and service was wonderful. I came here a few days in a row on my vacation! The waitlist was accurate and gave me flexibility to walk around. Also - I have celiac and the menu was extremely easy to navigate as someone with an allergy!

This is delicious! I got salted caramel in chocolate cone and hubby got rum banana pudding in coconut cone and we are both very pleased with our choices. Read another review about gluten free options so we needed to check it out. Did NOT disappoint!!!

Amazing place to grab a bite. Think "Chipotle" but higher quality and good. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the outdoor seating area is nice. And the queso is gluten free! In fact, everything they have on the line is gluten free (not the burrito wrap obviously). I would take this over most of the overpriced stuffy restaurants in the area on most days.

We had lunch as a family of five when we first arrived to HHI. It was perfect to walk to from our hotel. We were seated quickly and enjoyed the indoor table since it was warm out. One of our daughter's has a gluten allergy (Celiac Disease) and did not have a reaction from her GF chicken ceasar wrap. Their menu is marked so that you can have an allergy safe meal which we truly appreciated! Thank you!

I got a breakfast sandwich to go with gluten free bread. I made it clear it wasn’t severe and just needed the product gluten free. My brother who ordered with me received his pancakes within 10 minutes. 25 minutes later I checked up on my order and when the woman said she would check up on it she instead went to eat a bite of her snack and then came back and said “they’re working on it”. After waiting for a total of 35 minutes they said they had accidentally put the sausage in the fryer and asked me if that was okay in which I said it’s fine. I get home to eat my breakfast to find all that they put on my sandwich was the egg. I paid almost $20 for a Diet Coke, two pieces of bread and an egg. Not to mention the $9 entrance fee to get onto the grounds. To add no one even apologized about the wait.

This place is a true gem. The service is always super friendly and the food is sooo good. I would place the Road Runner Panini as one of, if not the absolute best sandwich in the area! (The house made ranch is absolutely essential for dipping, btw!). My wife is gluten free and they have a nice selection of GF crepes, as well as some GF baked goods. The GF almond cookies are amazing! Definitely worth checking out for breakfast or lunch when you're in the area.

Best chicken salad sandwich I've ever had. Got it with a gluten free bun, which was really good compared to most other restaurants that offer gluten free bread/buns. My husband got a strawberry shortcake latte & a BBQ chicken sandwich & said both were really good. He's extremely picky about his coffee drinks, so that is a big compliment from him :) Would love to come back if we are ever in the area again!

The best words to describe Sweet Al’s are “charming” and “delicious”. They make all their pastries in-house, which even goes for their dietary restricted gluten free options. I personally had the long john donut with a peanut butter cream filling. It was even better than it sounds, and something worth traveling for :)… If that’s not your cup of tea, I would also try the double chocolate donut. The coffee is fantastic and highly recommend the cold brew or iced Mocha (we’ve been there for coffee 5 times in 5 days). Ownership and staff are wonderful, and take the time with innate curiosity to get to know their patrons. Easy 5 out of 5 stars.
