Long ago, I loved this place. They had the best brunches. Then I became allergic to soy and gluten. They have almost no options for those with allergies - they are completely stuck in the past. The menu needs a major overhaul after 20 years and overall the place is run down. It's unfortunate.

Cupitol is a must whenever I am visiting the area. I love how they offer wait staff if you want service, or cafe style seating if you choose. The breakfast sandwiches have a gluten free option and the matcha is pure perfection.

Best gluten free donut I have had in the 9 years I have been gluten free. A little crispy on the outside but super soft on the inside. Also had the gluten free bread with a breakfast sandwich which was also quite tasty. Coffee was good too! Another morning I had a gf cinnamon roll which was also pretty good.

We went to this restaurant because I have celiac and were looking for a place that offered some nutritious gluten-free options . This place looked liked it fit the bill. I ordered the salmon toast. Sadly for the price paid, the quantity was not what we expected. All I received was a single slice of gluten free toast on a bed of mixed greens topped with creamed cheese, cucumber, and a few slices of lox. I left the restaurant hungry .

We had a great birthday lunch at Bat 17. The sunny side up burger was awesome and I was able to get a gluten free bun as well. Very kid friendly. Staff was great. Kids loved it.

I am a devoted coffee drinker. In the US, I always order a black americano to test coffee shops. So many times, I received not just a bad coffee, but with a lot of water, no flavour... in summary, a total failure. It has been wonderful to find this place. Not just the americano coffee has flavour, body, an exact proportion between coffee and water, but also de vibe of the place is wonderful. Lovely place to work or to share a coffee with someone. Super nice staff. Totally recommended! *They also have pretty good vegan-gluten free paistries!

This is a surprise alternative for eating out gluten-free.(Meals are made with corn tortillas. But they don't have gluten-free bread.) The food is yummy! And how many different people can come to serve you in a joint this small? A shockingly high number. They have Jarritos to go with the meal, too. I took my teen to brunch for his birthday and he wasn't disappointed - teen boys can eat a lot, and he was stuffed. An enjoyable experience.

Fantastic French spot tucked away off Central - menu feels traditional Parisian and the service is thoughtful. We have a gluten allergy, and they take care of us every time. Try it, you'll be back.

First time here today, meeting colleagues at 4 pm. Appears roomier than Einstein's bagels down the street...just ordered a large iced Americano...superb, smooth, not bitter. I'll be back...parking a little tight as usual for this area, but worth the hassle to be able to eat vegan and vegetarian or gluten free
