Top 7 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Macon

M. Moss

One of my favorite coffee shops I’ve ever been to. You don’t want to miss this if you are in Macon! This is a quality spot with a cozy atmosphere and delicious, organic, all natural options made in house. I was very impressed and highly recommend visiting. Drinks: Absolutely amazing. We got the chocolate moose latte and liquid gold latte. Perfectly flavored and not too sweet. And the drinks aren’t 80% ice like Starbucks 🤣. Food: Delicious. We got the bacon egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese sandwiches, as well as the gluten and dairy free blueberry muffin. Service: Very friendly and fast! Special highlights: Syrups and pastries are made in house. All natural, organic, non-GMO ingredients. So many gluten and dairy free options. All pastries are gluten free. Thank you, Taste and See, for this wonderful experience!!

Receipt to prove it’s not a lie & I am from Illinois. I have no reason to try and ruin a local business in Georgia. I am informing the public especially people with sensitivities. This is what reviews are for. Sorry it is not what you want to hear. I called the store and left my number after your rude and unprofessional response here. My husband and I stopped in here yesterday for the first time. We were in town and I was looking for a place with good coffee and gluten free desserts. We found this place within walking distance from where we were staying. Upon walking in, the place itself is very cute and decorated very nicely. The place was dead minus one other customer sitting on their laptop. Two employees were working at the time. The two girls saw us come inside but took at least 5 minutes or more to even approach us. It was a little ridiculous. I asked if they knew if their gluten free chocolate torte was made with any kind of oats since I not only am Celiac but also allergic to oats. They went in the back and looked for a while and came out and said they couldn’t figure it out by looking at the box so they would call the owner to find out. Now right there I should have left because it should have been obvious to me that this so called bakery uses premade boxed items. But of course I didn’t even think of that at the time since I was so excited to maybe be eating a gluten free dessert. It is rare to find places that offer them. While the one called the owner I asked the other girl about their coffee syrups and if they were also gluten free. She did not know if any of them were so I asked to see the bottle. On the bottle it did say gluten free, if that was what was in fact inside the bottle. I ordered a large (which mind you is so so small) iced coffee with the toffee nut syrup and cream. My husband ordered a chocolate shake as well. They said the owner told them it did not contain any oats or anything other than eggs and chocolate and sugar. The coffee itself was Absolutely disgusting. It tasted burned and super strong and more like a cold brew than an iced coffee. I could not taste hardly any of the toffee nut and the creamer was almost non-existent. My husband’s shake was as thin as water. They put whipped cream on top after he told them twice to not put any on the top. When he went to scrape it off the top a quarter of this watered down ice cream shake spilled all over the table. It was supposed to be chocolate but it was white with a splash of chocolate syrup on the side. Basically they gave him a cup of milk. Our total for these 3 items were over $24. The coffee was $7 and the shake was $5.50. So the store bought gf torte had to be at least $8-10 for the slice. After all that we still consumed what we purchased because we were not going to waste our money. After about 45 minutes after eating there, I started to feel extremely sick to my stomach, broke out in a celiac rash and become violently ill throwing up and everything. It is a full 24 hours later and I have not recovered from it. Somehow I was glutened or given something I specifically said I could not have. We are super careful where we go to eat and this kind of thing does not happen. I am beyond upset because now it will take me at least a week for my stomach to recover from this. If you intend to carry gluten free items in your restaurant or bakery, you should not only take every single precaution necessary to make sure that the items are not cross contaminated with other items. Also you should educate your employees on these items and on what can happen if something is not done correctly. I Would Not recommend this place to anyone who is gluten sensitive, Celiac, or has food allergies. I also would Not recommend This place to anyone based on the terrible taste of their coffee, their aloof employees, their lack of the ability to clean the bathroom when the store is clearly dead. Save yourself the money and go to a chain coffee shop/bakery because you will get the same factory made desserts and not from scratch items and better tasting coffee.

I had a double scoop of the traditional chicken salad and Barbie-Q with sea salt potato chips. Great gluten free meal for me! Quick service.
