The Copper Hen Cakery & Kitchen

I chose this of the many breakfast options in Minneapolis because I was desperate for hollandaise sauce, which is naturally gluten-free but not gluten-free in many restaurants because the commercialy produced kind uses wheat as a thickener. I ended up getting the pork belly skillet because it had everything I wanted (though I considered subbing poached eggs, which I love). My dining companion got the copper benedict, which was beautiful and delicious. My hollandaise was flavored with bacon, which made it quite salty. Somewhat ironically, my dining companion thought her sauce was bland, while mine was just right for her. This is a reflection of our preferences, not the quality of the sauces, which were both excellent. We just got regular coffee even though they sell a lot of delicious-looking coffee beverages such as lattes. The plain coffee was very good Our server, Dominique, was lovely and kind. My only complaint is that the pork belly was rather tough - i'm used to it being a bit more melt in your mouth. That is a minor issue, and I would certainly return to try more dishes.

My partner has celiac disease and ordered a gluten free burger. He was served a burger with a GF bun, but glutenous toppings on it. He ate part of the burger before realizing the toppings were breaded (and is now sick). When he asked about it, he was told he "should have specified that he wanted the whole thing GF" (apparently not implied when he ordered a "gluten free burger") and not offered any sort of apology
