This place is amazing. The service is outstanding, everyone is friendly, and the food is outstanding. For gluten free travelers, there are many options and the staff is knowledgeable about any accommodations. They have GF bread, waffles, pancakes, and much more. Great GF desserts too. We enjoyed it so much we adjusted our trip to come back for a second meal. Highly recommended. If you need a delicious and safe gluten free meal, come here!

This cafe is one of my favorite places for breakfast, lunch, or to grab a tea and treat. I love the keto and gluten-free options they have available, though they don't have much selection for keto deserts like they used to. They do, however, have a small selection of keto products to purchase. The atmosphere is a typical cafe style, and it can be a bit loud if you're sensitive to noise and I find the chairs a bit hard and uncomfortable, but it never deters me from dining in. The selection of hot drinks is impressive! The waffles are to die for! The staff are friendly, polite, and work hard. Definable a gem for Kingston!

We absolutely love this cafe in Elmsdale! The sandwiches are excellent and you can order a variety of different kinds. We got a veggie/vegan option, a gluten free option, and a few regular sandwiches for a team event and everybody LOVED them! They are so kind and welcoming! They truly know how to make your day a bit brighter :) A definite recommend from us!

Lovely staff and extremely accommodating to those with celiac - moreso than other smittys. We try to go once a week. Very affordable especially with the amount of food you get. Love their breakfast and nachos especially - somehow the only place I've reheated nachos at home and they were still edible too haha. (another reviewer mentioned it being strange they pay for coffee, but the cost for coffee is on the menu. And you pay for drinks at most restaurants)

Love this place. Just stopping in town for lunch and then coffee was great and I had a ham and Swiss sandwich with cranberry mayo that I can't stop thinking about. It had to right too be that good. They had gluten free bread for my girlfriend which was a big plus. Stopping there felt like a lucky find. The layout of the place feels a little awkward at times. It maybe just because the place is a bit smaller.

I had a great dinner here with a friend on the patio. I ordered the gluten-free lasagna, which was delicious and came with a slice of beautifully garlicky GF garlic bread. My friend was very pleased with their (gluten) pizza, too.
