Great gluten free sandwiches & desserts.

If you’re into quirky atmospheres, this place is a hotdog lover’s dream. The walls are covered with buns signed by celebrities – it’s like a Hall of Fame for hot dog aficionados, but with less "sports" and more "saucy celebrity vibes." The vibe? Totally fun. The service? Well, let’s just say you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the décor, because it took about an hour to get our hot dog and fries. Slow? Yes. But hey, good things (like the Coney dog) come to those who wait. Speaking of the Coney dog, it was delicious. I went for the gluten-free bun, and let me tell you – it was a soft, warm, bready hug. The fries, however, are not gluten-free due to the shared fryer. As someone who isn’t overly sensitive to cross-contamination, I took the plunge and enjoyed them anyway. But for anyone with Celiac – just be warned, the fries are off the menu for you. No worries though, gluten-free folks! You’ve still got options like potato salad and coleslaw. So if you’re craving a Coney dog and need to avoid the gluten, you can still chow down like a champ. Would I go back? Absolutely! But next time, I might bring a book – or a comfy chair – to make the wait more glamorous.

They have a great variety of drinks as well as flavors and milks/mylks to customize your drink. They also have a nice variety of food and treats to suit many health lifestyles, life gluten free and/or vegan. I really enjoy the atmosphere and how repaid it is whenever I go in to visit. I always try to stop by whenever I'm in town.

Quinoa chickpea burger on gluten free bread is amazing. Slaw is fantastic!

I absolutely loved the sugar free vanilla latte from here. I drank all but one sip (only because I didn't have time to finish it before an appointment.) I also had their avocado toast, which I've never had and always thought some type of way about it. I really liked it. I ordered it on the gluten free toast. Honestly, it was way better than I thought! I think I tasted a little garlic salt and definitely red pepper flakes. (It's not spicy though.) Just be mindful that the parking in front is metered, and you'll want to pay to avoid a ticket. I used 2 quarters and that got me 30 mins. of parking. The girl at the register did say there was free parking a little further down. I was hoping for my GF options like the website had. They do have a vegan cookie, I believe. I would highly recommend this coffee shop!

Out of town visitor here simply looking for a gluten-free place for my daughter to get a couple treats. Prices are within the normal range and the treats were on point.

Amazing small coffee shop! They have gluten free, sugar free and diary free options! Staff is always friendly and accommodating! I'm very sensitive to caffeine so I order half caffeinated and they were great about making it work for any drink I have offered. The ham and cheese crepe is amazing and come with tons of ham. And are huge! The nutella strawberry and banana crepe was delish as well! I HIGHLY recommend the apple cinnamon muffin. They warm it for you if you want too and its delish! Coffee is great quality and they plenty of syrups, creamers, milks (oat milk, almond milk, half and half etc.) and sweetener options. Most importantly its very affordable! A must try for sure!

I'd heard about the Same Café from a friend, so we came all the way out for lunch today. The Cafe, aside from being located within the most beautiful library, was lovely in its own right. Bright, clean & dignified, simple tables & chairs, artwork on the walls, elegant lighting hangs from the ceiling, planter boxes full of green plants instead of a rope showing where the line forms... The food is simple yet Classy and delicious, with healthier alternatives like gluten free or vegetarian alternatives. Basically there's 2 kinds of pizza, 2 types of salad, and 2 types of soup. Diners can choose one or both of any or all. And one pays a minimum of $2 for each item selected, but can pay full price or more if one is able. In lieu of cash, one can roll up one's sleeves and pitch in around the cafe washing dishes, wiping tables or sweeping floors. Altogether a wonderful place and a marvelous dining experience.
