I look forward to visiting Lady and the Shallot every single week. During Covid, my weekly trip to visit the LatS ladies kept me sane, well-nourished, and connected to an incredible community that champions small family businesses, incredibly delicious/allergy-friendly food, and animal/human rights.
I am not a vegan, but every time I eat at Lady and the Shallot, I want to be. Fran and Kate (the owners) have curated a menu that stumps me with what to order every week because everything is so delicious. I typically go with the taco flight because I get a little taste of 4 of their best flavors - that's truly the secret sauce of LatS (pun intended) - Kate and Fran have put so much thought and care into curating a menu exploding with flavor. I tell them every week - I can't wait for their sauces to go national so I can buy them in bulk at Costco!
Honorable mention to the insanely delicious chili oil that you can add to any dish for an extra zing. Another reason to visit every week - specials and baked goods! As if ordering weren't tough enough from the main menu, LatS often has seasonally fresh and flavorful specials that make you want to add an extra side dish to your meal. Ashley's baked goods are out of this world and are truly the only gluten free/dairy treats I can have that taste insanely delicious and don't upset my tummy.
But what makes Lady and the Shallot most special is the warm atmosphere and 1000/10 customer service. Fran and Kate go above and beyond to make every customer feel welcome and happy - even the ones that are not so nice to them. I've seen them bend over backwards to satisfy every customer while putting their hearts and souls into the success of this family business.
Casual- you can even pick up some ‘grab and go.’ Comfortable and clean and nice.
Variety- breakfast, lunch, soup, tacos, some muffin/brownie goodies, coffee, tea, fresh juices.
Healthy options- salads, not fried, GF if needed,….
Coffee was delicious- just a splash of coconut milk, no sugar needed.
The GF toast! It was so perfect I had to double check that it was gluten free!
Everything on my Bali plate breakfast was a little extra special- I think it was pesto spread on the toast (or a dab of pesto butter or something), the little salad had a very nice dressing- and wasn’t dripping in it. The avocado was perfect (such a short window of time with avocados!) and had a little something sprinkled on it.
The cashier was very helpful and very patient as I took it all in and decided what I wanted.
Wish there was one closer to my home or where I work- I’d be back frequently!
I'm sure disappointed that there are no vegan pancakes at the pancake house. Glad there was some gluten free options for my friends. Some restaurants can make a gluten free recipe that is also vegan. Please consider this.
Our server was Brooke and she was great! Super attentive and excellent with our tired 5-year-old. She also took great care to pay attention to my husband and daughter’s celiac diagnoses! We had a great breakfast and Brooke was excellent.
I have celiac disease so one of the very few things I can eat from Chick-fil-A is their french fries as they use a dedicated fryer to cook them. The fries at this location? The absolute best fries I've had at any Chick-fil-A. They were crispy and not at all greasy. This location was also very quick in getting our order out. We're used to long waits at other locations. Great service!
