The service was lovely and as someone with coeliac disease, I felt very safe eating here (the server let me know that the original owner’s wife is celiac, and so that made me feel like they would have a good understanding of cross-contamination). The eggs and hashbrowns were just OK and the chicken sausage and the pancake that I had were pretty good.

We just had breakfast here. Searched on line for a gluten free restaurant and this was recommended. Our waitress Alex’s service was very good and she made sure the order was gluten free for a celiac and the food was very good. The gluten food was also very good. Great little restaurant.

I cannot say enough good things about this cafe. The owners are the kindest and provide excellent service. You cannot go wrong on this menu. Avocado toast, acai bowl, egg 'n biscuit, variety of pastries (including gluten free), all delicious! The atmosphere is so calming. You are under the hotel but still get fresh air and a nice breeze. So happy to have Gooseberries in the neighborhood!

Awesome spot! Delicious coffees, gluten free options. People are nice but a bit robotic. No plugs, so come fully charged. Great seating and space!

I meet here with a friend of mine once a month. We used to pretend we were going to go someplace else, but always ended up here because it's just the best. The food is healthy and delicious, they make fabulous beverages and the staff are super friendly. It also has a great (pup friendly) back patio for nice days. Lots of gluten free and soy free options. Very helpful if you have questions about the menu or need to make modifications.

Nothing fancy but great service and good food. My son was thrilled that the weekend special was eggs Benedict. Seemed like most of the customers were locals. The strawberry rhubarb jam was amazing and they even had gluten free toast on the menu! Would def go back!
