GF waffle was meh. I have celiac so I am judging in comparison to GF foods purely. The cheese had a crust on it like it was American cheese that had been overcooked and the peppers were cooked somehow such that the skin was still super tough but the meat was mush. The service was also quite slow. The savory choice didn't work out. I do not appear to have been glutened however, so a star is earned back for that.

Gluten free buns available for any of the sandwiches!!! This is not on their menu nor did I see it posted "just had to ask". Yum! Fresh home style pulled chicken sandwich the "winner" "winner" absolutely delicious and completely unexpected. After attempting to pick it up and failing miserably I actually ate my sandwich with a knife and fork! The tortilla chips were great - not like your traditional tortilla chips. Nice and clean place with outdoor seating available. Cashier was very friendly and helpful.

Delicious coffee and espresso! The employees were so knowledgable and helpful and the gluten free brownies were absolutely decadent. There was also parking right outside and plenty of seating inside.

We love Pearl Island! Great for gluten allergies and vegans. Food is fantastic and all the "to go" items are compostable. My favorite place in town!

Good food, some stuff came out a bit late but they had gluten free bread options so this place is good in my book.
