I am coeliac and I have to say the options for all allergies were great! They make their own gluten free bread in-house which was great, and all of our food was great. We were a group of 7 so I understand why it took us slightly longer to be served. Overall it wasn’t cheap but it was definitely worth it, all of the food was fresh and very yummy.

The table settings have all the loveliness of a sunny Sunday picnic, with sweet bright touches (string lights, potted plants, etc.)—like a Sunday picnic at an evil-free cow farm! My wife had the “smashed avocado” on toast (yes, the meme-iest millennial meal; we perpetuate the stereotype, gladly) and a hot chocolate. I gobbled down the reuben, which was a creamy and tangy sandwich tower of gut-gladdening comfort food. For dessert we enjoyed a (gluten-free) coffee and chocalate cake—oh dear lord it was soul-warming!

Food was delicious and wonderfully accommodating with gluten free options. Very flavorful brunch. Staff was very attentive! More of a restaurant style, not quite cafe (reading, working on laptop) vibes, but lots of light and a lovely place for tasty brunch!

Very good restaurant. Excellent location. Very attentive and pleasant service. They have gluten-free options but the only reliable thing for celiacs is pasta. They have a pizza base but the oven is the same for all of them and without protection.

Food was fantastic, staff was efficient and attentive, and atmosphere was great. The restaurant was incredibly accommodating of food allergies. We had a member of the party who was gluten and dairy intolerant and had no issues ordering. Staff were friendly and accommodating. We came straight from the train station with multiple suitcases and the staff allowed us to stow all items in the limited space they had.
