I come here for the gluten-free cakes and treats. Only once did I have an old slice, I won't pick the last one next time. Can't wait to see what's on the counter next time I pop in

Café d'Marie is a destination restaurant for us. On any roadtrip, we intentionally time our trip so that we can stop at this wonderful establishment. The food is incredible, with their paninis, soups, drinks, and desserts always tasting amazing and bringing something unique. They are incredibly accommodating to dietary restrictions with both vegetarian and gluten free options. The ownership and waitstaff are incredibly kind and ensure that you have a positive and comfortable experience. The space itself is gorgeous and offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Davenport.

I was really excited to go here and get gf crepes. The reviews made it seem super safe. We walked in a the staff was not friendly whatsoever, the girl practically threw the cups and water at our table. I was watching them cook the crepes and they cleaned everything with what looked like chemical cleaning spray. I was also nervous because I could only see the one container of nutella that they were using for all of the non-gf crepes and was questioning if they would open a new container. They didn’t, I watched them use the exact same knife and container for my crepe. Overall disappointed.

They have GF cupcakes. They are good! They store them separately and top them with separate saccapoche to avoid cross-contamination. I am celiac and this is a wonderful place to enjoy something sweet!

Kindred is a casual café with delicious breakfast, brunch or lunch 100% gluten free. As celiac, it is rare to have the possibility to choose anything from the menu without cross-contamination. This is the only place in Iowa city with a 100% GF kitchen. Additionally, I loved the vibe of the place: young and casual.
