If you visit First Watch you have to ask for Ailyna as your server. She was so attentive, polite, and helped with the menu. Ailyna made sure that my daughter’s gluten free meal was GF. We would definitely visit again.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to drop by Ta Contento for lunch. The atmosphere is modern Mexican and they have a wider alcoholic drink selection than you might anticipate. I had a margarita chips and queso and a burrito bowl for about $25. Everything was excellent. The chips were light and fresh and queso was on point. The burrito bowl was amazingly flavorful with plenty left over for another meal. As I was wrapping up, I ordered some gluten free yuca fries and plantains and they switched the oil for me.

Massimo took such great care of us last night! I’m gluten-free so I checked the menu online prior and saw they had gluten free pasta, but to my surprise they additionally had gluten free bread, meatballs, brussel sprouts, and almond cake! It was so delicious, we will be back!

Great coffee shop. Coffee is made with freshly ground local coffee. My husband and I tried iced coffee on this hot muggy day and it was delicious and refreshing. We also tried the banana chocolate gluten free cookie - - YUM! For a gluten free cookie the texture and moisture were great. Considering banana was used the balance of flavors was on point. The staff was friendly and helpful. The decor is a mix of old and new. Love the ceiling tiles and the old wood floor. Definitely should visit!

This place has some absolutely delicious hash browns. As a family with various food allergies, we love being able to eat here together. Vegan and gluten free options are pretty good. Their coffee drinks are a bit expensive.

Don’t go here if you have a gluten allergy. My gf’s dish was supposed to be gluten free but was most likely cross contaminated so she got sick anyway. Prices are super high for how small the tacos (16.99 for 3 baby tacos??) are and they really aren’t that good. I think the decor fools people here. Not coming back.

I had a lovely birthday brunch on their patio(on a less than ideal birthday). Their staff was attentive, and their menu offers a wide variety of options; if you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or omnivore then you have something to try. They are also substitution friendly, so you may have some low-carb options. The staff brought water for the table immediately, offered recommendations on menu items when asked, and brought a biscuit while the meal was prepared. The patio was pleasant, clean, and ready for guests. -----‐------------------------------------------------------ I visited again, and for this visit, I would remove a star. The food was lovely(and I wrote so on the check) but the waitress with the dark braid seemed to be amused by something and I ended up sitting on the patio for some time waiting for service; I had to call the restaurant to have someone come out with a togo container. The foam container she brought smelled funny(do they have recyclable options?). I still tipped over 20%, but the waitresses this morning seemed to be on a different wavelength.

I have celiacs disease so it's very hard to eat out with my family. I spoke with one of the chefs and he was kind enough to discuss in detail what he could make, what precautions he could take and what things he couldn't control. I appreciated his honesty and willingness to make something safe for me. My family enjoyed an amazing brunch and I felt safe eating here. Everyone was kind and honest, which is amazing!

There is nothing I can say that would really depict the beauty of this place. For the crowds they probably draw, I would hope for more baked good options with dietary restrictions but I did have a gluten free pumpkin bar and it was melt in your mouth delicious especially with the oats beneath the soft pumpkin topping… The drink was good too, I enjoyed it. I had brought my son and he was ready to go to an indoor park otherwise I would have brought my laptop and stayed longer. Here you’ll be walking amongst fairies and transport to another little world here, privacy is an option and being in nature and having yummy treats all at the same time.

After accidentally ordering a drink that had gluten in it (chocolate cream cold brew” the barista was kind enough to remake the drink and create chocolate foam with the mocha syrup so I could have a similar flavor. She really went out of her way for something that was my mistake and I really appreciate it!
