Can not attest to cross contamination or cooking areas, but they do offer gluten free and cauliflower crust for pizza. Other gluten free options appear very limited. The person we spoke to said no options for fluten free. I discovered options were available after we left. The place was super cute and laid back for a baby shower. Everyone else raved about the food.

If you have a gluten allergy they have a great grilled chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun. Love the waffle fries too.

Cozy little place in Crystal Lake. First time going there and I'll definitely be going back. I had a pumpkin chai tea that was very tasty and a gluten free oatmeal creme sandwich. There were many gluten free options which is rare for coffee shops!

This is not a celiac friendly environment. If food sensitivity and allergies are a concern, go somewhere else. My server was irritated at my enquiries. And now I am paying for it.

I’ve lived in Crystal Lake for about 5 years now, and Breaking Bread has my favorite rueben, hands-down. Meat and kraut are what you’d expect, but this place really shines with the cheese and bread. Delicious melty swiss and fluffy rye with a nice, exterior crunch. The 80s dad-rock playlist is a plus for me, and my gluten-free partner highly recommends their celiac-safe options. Crystal lake staple.

I Ordered a breakfast quesadilla which was delicious! A little under $13. I wanted to try their gluten-free waffle. I asked for just one waffle with nothing on it. The charge for that simple plain waffle was a little under $16. A coffee is $4.75 and iced tea as well. The server took forever to take our order and only did so because I had to get his attention to come to our table. Though my quesadilla was pretty good, I will not be back because I would not be able to afford it! Prices are ridiculous! I forgot to mention that a regular waffle was a little over five dollars but gluten-free $16. The bill for just my order was a little over $41!

One of my favorite coffee shops in the area! No matter how busy they are, my drinks always come out fantastic and I never have to wait long. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming every time I come in. Also as someone with a dairy allergy, I’m very happy to see they carry Rosie’s Gluten Free Treats (which not all, but a good majority of products are dairy free).

We've been here twice for the all you can eat sushi dinner. The prices are extremely fair, the quality of the sushi is excellent, and the overall service and atmosphere is fantastic. I will continue to recommend Sushi U to anyone looking for a great all you can eat sushi spot! I'm also gluten-intolorant and really appreciated the staff being so helpful in letting me know which rolls I couldn't have due to my restriction (and for providing me with gluten-free soy sauce). Thank you so much!

I love this place! I went for the first time a few weeks ago and it was amazing. The food, Chef, presentation were all amazing. The best part for me was that they offered gluten free options, so I could eat from many options. I did not like when I told the Chef/cook that I did not want food tossed at me and he still tossed it, however - I thought was rude, but I took it stride, that time. Anyway, overall, the food was delicious and my family & I had a blast!

Top notch breakfast/ brunch / lunch place! They have options for everyone! The service was great! They had a parking lot so it was easy to just park and walk in. The place is fairly large but I can see it getting busy on weekends. We got there at 130 on a Sunday and there wasn’t a wait, and they were closing soon but they didn’t rush us at all! The food was really good and I’m so happy we tried it and they had gluten free options!

Rough start. Had to request service after waiting for about 15 mins without service. I believe our servers name was Taylor. She was outstanding. My daughter is gluten intolerant and she took special care of her requests. She recommended the crusted sea bass to me and it was excellent. Overall it was great experience. Always are favorite place to eat.

Great food, I reserved our seats, it's a smaller size restaurant. Service was great, the waitress seemed to know the menu. They gave a gluten free menu. The carrot soup was the soup of the day, and was excellent. Everything tasted great.
