Award winning fried chicken. Gluten & Dairy free. I'm here a couple of times a week. It's little chicken place, parading as a coffee shop. There are a few seats inside and nice patio for when the weather is good. The staff is friendly. It's cooked to order so it usually takes a few minutes to get your order. I'm addicted to the Chick-bits. They are moist and tender with a crispy crust. I like the spicy seasoning on them with white sauce. I started by eating the chicken cutlet (ji pai) because I read promising reviews in the paper. I would have it with the fries, with Taiwanese seasoning. However, the portions are pretty generous here and I swapped to eating the chick bits to protect my burly figure. If you're a fan of great fries, these are always hot and delicious. They come with a seasoning that's great. If you're dairy free, tell them, the seasoning has some ranch powder. The loaded fries are over the top and more than a meal. He makes a dairy free version for me, which is still creamy with a couple of mayo-based sauces. They compliment the spicy seasoning. They have a creamy coleslaw (bae slaw) which is chunky with a twangy sauce. My favorite is the diakon slaw which is long shreds of horse radish and carrots in a light vinegar dressing. They started as a food truck, having lots of teas and coffee drinks. I've had their citrus and ginger teas in the summer, but in the winter, I focus on the espresso in chai tea. They have other dishes with a Taiwanese flair. However, if this is your first time, you should really try the chicken sandwich or the chick bits. They are tender, delicious and as amazing as the reviews claim.

Best damn gluten free fried chicken I’ve ever had
