My friend and I were visiting for 1 night only in Chicago and stopped here for breakfast. The server we got was AMAZING. Super personable and upbeat! Our waters never got low, trash was never on the table for long, we were checked on often, and we had everything we needed! They also offered gluten free pancakes which were AMAZING!!! I loved them. They were light/easy on the stomach and tasted like regular pancakes. Next time I find myself in Chicago, I will be sure to come back. Please don’t miss an opportunity to dine here! 10/10 y’all are perfect and we love you❤️

The everything bagel was so delicious. I made a sandwich with it for my fiancé and he loved it! Donuts were also great, the gluten free donut in particular was amazing. Super moist and flavorful.

This is a beautiful coffee shop and I’m happy we got to stop in but my only issue is, is that I assumed I would get more help with knowing my options for gluten free drinks. I had email them prior and they told me I’d be able to get help once I was there so that was my plan but once I got up there and asked if the coffee I wanted was gluten free she wasn’t sure so she went and asked when she came back to me she said it wasn’t. So then I asked her if she could tell me what my options were and then she had to ask them again which they told me I could only get a drink with milk, honey and espresso. They were super busy and I was very rushed. The drink was good but I was expecting a much better experience especially when I was told I’d have options. They do have gluten free bakery options but I didn’t get any of those and they do share a case with all the other items so keep that in mind. Lovely coffee shop just probably isn’t the best option for someone with a gluten allergy.

Great customer service. The best, most moist, crave worthy gluten free blueberry muffin I have ever had. I absolutely loved eating it. And will be dreaming of that muffin. Chai tea was tasty, no up-charge for soy milk is awesome.

Really enjoyed this place! Lots of gluten free options - baked goods and substitutions. The staff is knowledgeable and even had a binder of laminated menu items with their allergy items listed. The GF lemon bar was excellent and my son enjoyed the Krispy treat. Highly recommend!

Food was really good and the space was well decorated but the service could have been better. I wanted to try some of their desserts but needed to make sure they were vegetarian. After a long arduous debate with two servers who I had to argue with that vegetarian options are not the same as vegan or gluten free, I was initially told the desserts I wanted had gelatin. When I asked to speak to the chef to confirm, after initially resisting they called the chef who informed them that all desserts were vegetarian. I would expect the restaurant to know the difference between something like this or to confirm from the chef straight away.

We had ordered combo plate and surprisingly it was enough for two of us for breakfast. Absolutely amazing service and very friendly staff. Gluten free options are also available.
