This is my third time coming here. I absolutely love the atmosphere and the food is good. I am really glad to see somewhere that offers so many gluten free options. All the plants and surrounding decorations are so pretty. I do have one complaint though that really ruins the whole experience for me and the reason our family probably won’t go back. Every single time I have come to this cafe I have experienced the man who cooks things (I think this is the owner?) is quite rude and hasn’t been friendly. My daughter commented the same thing as well. Today was a special day for my daughter and I and we are both gluten free so we chose this cafe to take our little family to for breakfast. We were met with irritation that we had 6 people in our party. He rolled his eyes and grunted like it was a huge inconvenience. We tried coming as soon as they opened hoping to not cause tension because I know it’s small. Already feeling unwelcomed, I tried to find a table and was snapped at by him and told to go to the back. Even my husband was surprised at the rudeness and irritation from this man. This is the third time we have been met with a less than friendly attitude from him. Kind of put a downer on the whole breakfast and special day. When we got home even my son said something about the guys rudeness. Such a bummer because this cafe would be one of our favorites but we won’t be back :(

Ribs were great. This is a fast casual franchise based bbq rib location - the gluten free gf menu is right up front. The night I went they were sold out of smoked chicken - they only had chopped chicken, which is not my thing. Baked beans were good, thick, not too sweet. Coleslaw was also good - sweet of course since it’s based in the South, not too sweet. Ribs were good. Crunchy, good bark. They came covered in sauce - would’ve preferred dry. No brisket. They did offer burgers - no gf buns. Okay value for money - $30 for a half rack of ribs. Place was totally empty at 7 pm on a Sunday.
