It's a small place and very popular. I took my sister here who has a gluten allergy and she had grilled cheese with lentil bread (pictured and almost finished). She loved it and they do not skimp out on the cheese.
I had the Oaxaca sandwich which was very good and the spiciness was just right, paired with a Thai carrot soup. Coffee was good and served in a big glass mug.
We had a window view which was a bit cramped but felt alright. You see so many people come in of all ages and backgrounds. Servers were friendly, left us mostly alone and revisited when needed. Atmosphere is very local and rustic.
As someone with celiac disease it’s hard to eat out, but my server Alexis provided me with all the gluten free options they had and took all the extra steps to make sure I felt safe to eat!

My partner and I are big fans of this location of crust and crate! We come here often for the Korean bites and gluten free pizza crust, not to mention the outstanding service. As someone who has worked in restaurants for 7+ years I can confidently say that the servers we have are consistently head and shoulders above the norm. Specific shoutout to our favourite servers Sean and Patrick. I want to give 5 stars but the one thing we are disappointed by every time is the fact that there is no lactose free/ vegan cheese option. Especially with their phenomenal gluten free crusts and pizza focus it would be really great to see that as an option. I also want to say the new menu rollout is great and the blueberry bourbon lemonade was a 10/10 cocktail. Booze forward but balanced with sweetness and the blueberry really comes out. In conclusion, give Patrick and Sean a raise and add vegan cheese to the menu pleaseeee!
Amazing service from Morgana. She helped us a lot with all of or questions about the food! My grandma has celiac and is also just generally indecisive but Morgana answered any questions and worries she had about ingredients, made suggestions, and my grandma really enjoyed her meal! The service was very fast and friendly, the location is great, and we will 100% be coming back!

My go-to place in Ottawa. Amazing proteins (meat or fish - always great choice), salads, pasta, desserts for dinner and the Farmer breakfast for brunch. As gluten free, you won’t find a better place!
What a beautiful place for dinner on a sunny warm afternoon/evening ! The service was exceptional. As I browsed the menu I saw there were gluten free options. The waitress assured me that my choices were safe and she was very knowledgeable, which was greatly appreciated.
Went to this location for lunch with some colleagues on a rainy Friday.
The service wasn’t their strongest point. Long wait between touch points, we never got to order a second round of drinks.
The food was tasty though and came in a timely manner. They had no issues accommodating my allergies (gluten and dairy free) and allowed me to modify my plate, the Mediterranean chicken, as needed. The rest of my colleagues also really enjoyed their meal.
I asked for crispy bacon and fried white egg and my meal was perfect. Bacon crispy and not burned. They made me gluten free toast. Super friendly staff. Sting coffee. Yummy breakfast.
