This has been a go-to spot recently. Easy take out but also nice to eat in. Great menu, everything I’ve had so far has been great. They also are really good with gluten-free, especially for my friend who has celiac disease and needs to take extra precautions.

This place was disgusting. It smelled something terrible and the food didn't taste any better. I was so hopeful because I have Celiac's Disease. I heard the cook cursing up a storm because he had to make my food gluten free. The lights were basically off when we walked in and the chairs were up, very uninviting. I took 2 bites and didn't finish my food even though I wanted to because it was SO expensive.

I ate breakfast here an although the menu was small itself, they did have GF options. I had sunny side up eggs and GF toast. It was delicious.

Great for a drive through experience. Sadly, COVID has ruined my favorite sit-in coffee shop site. No eat in options (although you can totally eat outdoors they have tables outside). Its such a lovely shop i will miss visiting this location to sip tea and read a book. I hope restrictions lift soon The food is good though! The people are great and super helpful. They have vegan and gluten free options.
