I bought two gluten free toasts, one with eggs and bacon one with avocado, GF is 1$ extra. When brought to my table, I noticed that one plate had different bread than the other, which I suspected was not GF. I asked one waiter and he said yes yes it's gluten free. I was still suspicious, asked another one who said yes. Asked him if he was really sure. He went to check and lo and behold it was not GF bread. It takes you 30 seconds to check, saves me hours of discomfort. I then get my plate changed to a GF toast half the size of the normal one. Pictured is my $10 avocado toast. They also forgot to register bacon on my order. They forgot my bottle of water. Then they forgot to bring me a glass. Had to ask each time. It was not busy. They ask for tips at the counter. What am I tipping for exactly?

Run, or bike, to La Bicyclette now- their food is incredible! Highlights include their Winter Citrus salad (they graciously converted it to gluten free; in doing so they provided a citrus dressing rather than the standard vinaigrette) which was bright and perfectly balanced. The Steak au Poivre was expertly prepared. Our server was excellent-very attentive but not overbearing. The space has an energetic, but not chaotic, vibe. I am looking forward to returning!

This place delivers for both gluten and gluten-free lovers. I got the ginger carrot muffin and the chocolate cookie both of which are gluten-free and was pleasantly surprised by how good they both were. I actually preferred the gluten-free pastries over the gluten cookie we also got. Next time we want to try the pizza and almond croissant which we which they were out of because we came at the end of the day. I will say I was really happy that they had options left so close to closing because sometimes it can be very disappointing to show up at the end of the day at a bakery and there’s nothing left. So kudos to them for baking enough for customers at all hours of visiting.
