After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

CELIAC REGRETS. Beautiful place, fun atmosphere, SUPER UNINFORMED staff. My gluten intolerant family member with celiac disease ordered a burger with gluten free bun. The apparently mostly teenage staff didn't know enough to warn her that there is flour IN the burger?? What kind of recipe is that?? WHY would you offer GF bun for wheat-containing patty? She felt an allergic-like reaction in her mouth a few bites in, so I went to ask about the ingredients of the burger. The cashier had to check with everyone else in the joint to find the ingredients. Only the cook seemed to know that the burger was not GF...why would you put a gluten-containing patty on a gluten-free bun?? I see that this is definitely not our smartest moment for not checking the ingredients/reviews beforehand or for trusting the non-dedignated gf menu, but this place is also irresponsible for putting allergens into a dish that shouldn't contain gluten to begin with. She will be in horrible pain all week, so much so that we might have to change our flight dates so she's not sick on the plane.

I chose to dine here on April 6 based on reviews about allergy accommodation, but unfortunately left very disappointed. The restaurant was unusually busy (as the owner mentioned), with what seemed to be just the owner cooking and one staff member at the front. Upon ordering, I clearly communicated that I was Celiac and also had peanut and tree-nut allergies. My partner and I were sharing our meals, so the allergy note was requested for both bowls. The lady suggested we order a drink while we wait for our food, which my partner did. After a 45-minute wait, our meals arrived but with substitutions (sides doubled up as they ran out of what we ordered) that were not communicated. I found sliced almonds in one of my sides, despite my allergy. After 10 mins of waiting for someone to be available, I asked the owner to clarify if there was nuts in any of the sides, he admitted there were almonds and possibly walnuts in the soba or brussel sprouts and explained there was no allergy note on the order. While he was very nice and apologetic, no solution was offered, and I was left with nothing safe to eat. We also did not receive the drink until after our food was served, what was the point of ordering the drink then? To make matters worse, the front-of-house staff was visibly overwhelmed and unwelcoming. There was no effort made to notify customers about substitutions, reservation/order cancellations, or delays—something I witnessed multiple guests frustrated over. For a restaurant that promotes itself as allergy/diet preference-aware, this experience was unacceptable. We left our $47 meals untouched and went elsewhere.
