Excellent salad and husband said the gluten free bread was excellent. Thanks to the owner for the celiac friendly recommendations 👏👏👏

A terrific breakfast experience with lots of menu selections at fair prices. Good portion sizes, great drink selection and gluten free menu available upon request.

First visit. Went on a Saturday at 1 ( they close at 2:30) put our names on waitlist online so hardly any wait. Lots of choices for many different diets- vegetarian, gluten free, etc. It was busy so it was quite loud but I guess that’s unavoidable. Prices are high. You can see them online. 3 of us ate breakfast, 2 coffees, 1 soda, and 2 biscuit appetizers- $125 with tip. Our waitress was great except our food was given to us by someone else and we asked them for butter (none was brought with pancakes) and extra syrup but never got it. Tried to get the guys attention to no luck and finally flagged our waitress down. Overall a fine breakfast with solid choices but in my opinion not worth the cost.

It was my first time at Vasili’s and it was a GREAT experience!!! Bianca was a phenomanal waitress, I told her about my gluten allergy and she was supper accommodating!!!! She informed me about what was and was not gluten free on the menu and told me they had GF bread. She also brought me a lemon sorbet for dessert knowing I couldn’t have anything that was on the menu!!! Amazing first time there, definitely going back!!!

Finally a pizza that's both gluten free *and* egg free.... and it tastes good too! ☺️

They can pretty much make any of their sandwiches GLUTEN FREE, and they had at least one soup that was gluten-free. They were extremely accommodating and had things wrapped individually and marked as being gluten free. Great option!

Lucky Penny did not disappoint. The vibe was cozy and cool, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. I got the gluten-free pancakes sunny-side-up, eggs with sausage links, and it was honestly better than I expected. The staff were friendly without being overbearing, and the whole place just had a laid-back, feel-good energy. Definitely one of those spots you’ll catch yourself craving again.

Pleasantly surprised with this breakfast spot! My wife & I stopped in on a Saturday an hr before they were to close, for our 1st time to order brunch to-go after browsing their menu online for vegan & gluten-free options. We had a few questions about their offerings while ordering tho, & Alex kindly greeted us & offered to help. He didn't hesitate to go back to the kitchen to confirm ingredients for us which was so helpful & reassuring, & really sets the bar for top notch customer service. Many places are so uninformed on what goes into the food they offer & can't be bothered to help or find out when asked, so it really was so refreshing to be assisted by someone who cared. 🌱⚠️ We were glad we asked tho, bc we found out that while their GF bread option is listed on their menu under the 'Vegan' section, it DOES contain eggs (as some GF breads do), making it NOT vegan. He was also able to confirm for us that their new plant-based sausage (listed under 'Sides') IS gluten-free & vegan. We were kindly shown the ingredient lists of the products to see with our own eyes 🙌🏽 (wish all places did this!) Considering this, we asked if we could instead have corn tortillas with our Vegan Breakfast Tofu Bowls since we couldn't do the GF bread, & Alex was happy to do that for us at no extra charge! He was also kind enough to offer us both a free iced tea while we waited on our to-go order, which was ready in less than 10 mins. We have not been treated so kindly in a restaurant in a long time & were so appreciative of the positive experience! 🤤 As for the food, it was amazing! & I say this as someone who is vegan/gluten-free, who cooks at home, who is always looking for & knows the struggle of finding GOOD, quality breakfast options that are worth the price & made for my dietary needs. For $17 the bowl was a generous, filling portion, the tofu was tastey & cooked just right, & everything else tasted hearty & homemade. I hoped there would be a bit more vegan cheese then there was, but otherwise everything was great (btw we added in the avocado at home, it isnt included) My wife & I were both delighted to say the least, & we can't wait to visit again & actually dine in! We would absolutely recommend those who are vegan & GF come try this spot! Really nice atmosphere & so wonderful to see our fellow latinos setting the standard on hospitality in the restaurant industry 💙 Thank you & mucho amor to Sweet Toast Cafe!

Good food, good service, gluten-free options, but a little too noisy. Parking lot very crowded on a weekday.

Stopped in to get a loaf of bread. Love the simple ingredients used to bake this loaf! This bread is moist and delicious. There were so many different breads and cookies to choose from. Gluten free options available as well. I even saw some dog treats! I was very disciplined, and bought only what I came for. Don’t know if I’ll be able to do that next time!

My favorite treat

Grabbed an iced caramel latte and a cold brew with oat. The latte tasted VERY strongly of burnt coffee. The cold brew was OK. Food options for GF/Celiac's folks are rough here. The gluten-free toast is definitely Naperville-priced (for those not familiar with their 'burbs, I'm trying to say the pricing was somewhere between "ouch" and "boing!" [For those not familiar with a classic "White Christmas" reference, I'm saying it's expensive]). Butters tastes good though - not worth the price of admission, but tasty nonetheless.

I looooove McAlister's Deli for their no-up-charge full size delicious gluten free bread and tasty sandwiches. I always get the Reuben with potato salad and the portions are generous and the flavors are well balanced. It's consistently amazing.

Schlotzsky’s is a restaurant that truly stands out in the world of fast-casual dining, offering a variety of delicious meals that cater to different tastes and preferences. I recently visited one of their locations and was thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that Schlotzsky’s takes pride in providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted me with friendly smiles, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, setting a positive tone for the meal ahead. One of the highlights of my visit was the famous “Original” sandwich. This signature dish did not disappoint. The sourdough bread was perfectly toasted, giving it a satisfying crunch, while the combination of meats, cheese, and fresh vegetables inside made for a truly flavorful experience. The sandwich had the perfect balance of savory and tangy flavors, and the generous portion size left me feeling completely satisfied. It’s easy to see why this has become Schlotzsky’s hallmark item, and it certainly lived up to the hype. In addition to the standout sandwiches, Schlotzsky’s offers a wide range of other menu options, all of which look equally tempting. I decided to try their fresh, crisp salad, which was loaded with high-quality ingredients like ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and a flavorful dressing. It was the perfect complement to the sandwich, offering a refreshing contrast in texture and taste. I also appreciated the fact that Schlotzsky’s offers gluten-free and vegetarian options, making it a versatile choice for anyone with dietary restrictions. The service was another aspect that truly made my visit enjoyable. The staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring that my food arrived quickly without feeling rushed. The restaurant had a relaxed, casual vibe, which made it the ideal place for a laid-back meal. I also appreciated that Schlotzsky’s provides

Gluten free french toast was spectacular!

My son and my father and I were looking for a breakfast place in the area and we've never been here before so we decided to give it a shot. Very cute Ambiance using that black and white feel that a lot of places have gone after. Kind of waiting for chip and Joanna to come out from behind the kitchen lol. My son had an omelette with avocado and spinach, my dad had eggs benedict and I had a breakfast burrito and everything was absolutely fantastic. I also noticed they have a bunch of gluten-free options which will be great since my wife has celiacs so we look forward to coming back with her. Overall definitely fantastic breakfast spot.

Great local, veteran owned diner that replaced the train diner! Lynn was welcoming the minute we walked through the door, even giving us a few quarters to use for the horse for our son to ride. Our waitress was great. Service is exceptional! You can tell they really care about their customer’s experience. My son has a severe dairy allergy and avoids gluten. Loved the fact that they have a gluten and dairy free pancake (amaranth) for him! (Heads up it does have eggs) He really enjoyed them. Unfortunately the potatoes are cooked with dairy/butter which is a favorite part of our breakfast usually. If this ever changes or there’s a different potato/hash-brown option offered without dairy, we would love to make this our go to breakfast spot.

great atmosphere! The service was unfortunately subpar; had to wait a lot for waiter to come back and check in. Also, all our food came out at different times and mine was lukewarm and my burger was way too rare. Finally, they had something marked gf on their menu that come to find out, has cross contamination with gluten. We used to love this place and heard it’s now under new management. unfortunately likely won’t be back Also, the added 3% removable surcharge feels like it’s taking advantage of customers. Because unless you see the fine print about it being added in, you don’t know it’s there…

I’ve come here 3 different times and each time my experience got worse. I really wanted to like this place, because it has a special quality about it & I see the potential, but the kitchen is constantly missing the mark. During my first visit, the food was bland. I had ordered a savory crepe that tasted subpar to any crepe I’ve ever had. The second visit, I ordered the viral giant croissants. I asked the waiter which flavors were available & he replied “all of them”. After our meal, I placed a to go order for one of each flavor, but was told they only had 3 flavors available. Once I got home I passed out the croissants to my family members to try and everyone had a “meh” expression on their faces. So I tasted one and the croissant was so dry and hard. (I drove straight home) During my third & final visit with a friend, I ordered the soufflé pancakes that are supposed to be light, fluffy, & jiggly. I received 3 flat pancakes. I looked at the waitress as she placed my plate in front of me with disbelief. I showed her a picture from their own website of what they should look like and she agreed and took them back. My friend’s steak was waaaaay overcooked and they took that back as well and apologized for everything. The manager came out & said the kitchen accidentally used gluten free flour & that’s why the soufflé pancakes wouldn’t rise. But they served it anyway? Weird. THEN they brought me a steak taretar & the meat was BROWN instead of red. The waitress apologized for that as well & took it away. At that point I was done. They kindly removed my plates from the bill & gave us a free mimosa to make it up to us. So at the end of it all I had an empty belly but a nice buzz! Until they get new kitchen management, I don’t think I’ll be returning.
