Lake Wally Cafe

Quick review for non-Celiacs: My husband and kids enjoyed everything they ordered, raving specifically about the chocolate chip pancakes and French toast! Definitely recommend. Celiac & Gluten Sensitive review: While our family was vacationing in Hawley, this spot was supposed to be our breakfast stop since they’re rated highly on Find Me Gluten Free. As a symptomatic Celiac, I needed a safe place to eat and this seemed like the perfect place. Our first experience was better than the second. There were no available tables inside, so I called my order in. The person I spoke with understood that I needed to eliminate the risk of cross contamination and assured me the food was safe. As far as gluten free French toast goes, it was good! Our second experience was not as great. I called in again the following day, wanting to eliminate ordering from multiple places for our family of five, and I requested my gluten free order be bagged separately. There was zero assurance from the person I spoke with and our order was put all together in one bag. I did not feel comfortable eating as if there was a cross contamination issue, I could potentially be sick for days. It wasn’t worth the risk.

Great little place, indoor and outdoor seating with it's own parking lot. Gluten Free Options, which can be hard to find!!! Lots of menu choices as any great diner should have. The food was fast and great. We got the last table at 2 on a Saturday, then 4 more tables came 5 minutes later, the staff handled it with aplomb. We'll definitely be back...
