Sleepy Bee is one of my favorite breakfast and brunch spots. There are 3 locations around the city, and they are all super busy, all the time. They have gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options, and cater to a wide variety of dietary restrictions. Their menu changes seasonally and they do their best to source local and organic foods. My favorite items to order are the Bee Cakes (GF) and broakley sandwich. I used to love their turmeric chicken salad on leaf wraps, but they've since replaced that menu item with other delicious options. There is a full espresso bar inside, and the Bee also offers smoothies, juices, and tea. Picked up my favorite T-shirt and their downtown location and take it with me on every trip. No bees, no food, no us. The only less than amazing experiences I've had, is they are occasionally too busy, and my order has gotten lost or forgotten. Two or three times now I've walked in to pick up my online or phone order, and it either wasn't in their system, or they forgot about it. That's out of 20+ times eating here though. The restaurant chain is owned by a Cincinnati family, so by eating here, you're supporting small business and the local economy.

Excellent food. Handles food allergies well, including gluten cross contamination. Seating is pretty limited if dining in. Free parking may be challenging to find, although there is a pay lot nearby.

My wife and I went for a causal date the other week and Kyle was our waiter. He was wonderful and was very mindful of my wife’s gluten allergy. He even recommended a gluten free desert which was fantastic. Thanks Kyle!

Fantastic spot that has the entire menu almost completely gluten free (great for celiac!). Prices can add up and it can take 5-15 min to cook the food, so just FYI! Parking can be tough around Findlay.

Perfection! I'm not a huge burger person to start with and these burgers were great! Especially happy because they have gluten free buns. The fries were really good and I loved the pear cosmo. Our food came out fast and we went around 6pm on a Saturday. Our server, Kiesha, was great and attentive. The atmosphere was fun but laid back. And reasonable prices for a city restaurant. There is patio seating.

I literally loved my meal. I have celiac disease and when I told the server she gave me the gluten-free menu which I forgot to photograph. But if you have a glue and allergy or celiac, please ask the server the gluten-free menu. I ordered the chicken flatbread with the gluten-free bread and also the mushroom soup. It was delicious. I highly recommend the place and enjoy

What an amazing date night dinner! The food and service were amazing. And they had gluten free bread for the table as well as regular bread. And it was spongy, soft, and delicious.
