Avoid if you have food allergies! Do NOT be fooled by the menu that is labeled with vegan and gluten free items. Just stopped by to try to eat lunch and was informed that the kitchen has zero allergy training and takes zero precautions if a customer has an allergy. They don’t wash hands, change gloves, or cook things in clean separate pans. They will say there’s a risk of cross contamination and they do not care about food allergies. Don’t label your menu with vegan and gluten free items if everything is contaminated with eggs, milk, and gluten. Yikes! This restaurant has false advertising.

Very laid back Sunday breakfast. Outdoor and indoor seating . We ordered the breakfast bowl , still water Toast . The ice coffee was like water down for me but iced americano was strong. I recommend the kombucha and farm bowl . Good selection of gluten free options

I really wanted to like this place because I think they do the local dishes and homemade everything very well. And I had a BLT there that was fantastic. However... one of the main reasons we went here was for my friend who is celiac and has a dairy allergy (NOT PREFERENCES) and a lot of their menu items were listed as GF and vegan. We got there at a busy lunch time and had no issues waiting for food made from scratch. My friend tried to order an item that was listed as GF and vegan and mentioned that this was an allergy and not just a food preference. She was told there was no way they could ensure her food wouldn't be cross contaminated and when she then said she couldn't order she was hit with the "no one has ever complained about it before". Yeah I'm sure it's not an issue for people with food PREFERENCES. I think it is very disingenuous to specifically label food as Gf and/or vegan on a menu when it might not be. I've worked in food service for many years if you cannot accommodate alterations of your menu for food allergies I get it, but to specifically market items as GF and vegan to be trendy or something but not actually provide that is disappointing. Leaving this review not to hate but to hopefully warn other people with allergies and alert management to something they could do better.
