While it’s not my choice of atmosphere, it certainly serves the clientele. I was thrilled to see the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free sections on the menu. That makes it super clear and helpful. The service on a Monday night in January was quick and kind. Very grateful

Great place for dine in and take-out. A few times, we've stopped in and ordered to go and enjoy talking with the people there. Options on the menu for gluten-free. Be sure to ask for it gluten-free, or it will be made traditional style containing gluten (this was recommended by one of the ladies I was speaking with - so I wanted to share this tip) I really enjoy the garlic beef.

You've got to try Crosby's! Great food, fun atmosphere, super service! We heard that they were doing a soft opening this week, so my wife and I went there on opening night. She had the steak, which was amazing! I had the crab-stuffed walleye, which also was excellent. We also tried the crab cakes appetizer (which was very nicely done), and the brie appetizer too (very tasty - and even worked for my gluten-free wife, since she asked for tomato slices with it instead of bread, which she really liked). The cocktails were fun too - we tried a few (the French 75 was amazing). Dessert cheesecake was a very good way to top it off. Overall, a great new addition to the CR downtown dining scene - highly recommended!

This restaurant is the bomb! The food here is great and cook to order, my mom has a gluten intolerance but the bread here doesn't make it act up! Everything feels like they make it from scratch. The pancakes are the best. The only tidbit is the flies around the restaurant and they charge extra if you use card. The people really feel like they care and make sure you're satisfied. Excellent food for American and breakfast. Soul food for real!

Delicious club sandwich. I wish there were more gluten-free options and coconut milk offered. The staff were very nice. I like that it is so close to the GTC. I'll definitely go back some day when I have more time to stay a while. Now I'll know what to expect on the menu. Nice job! Also, an organic decaf drink would be super!

If you need a warm, inviting place to grab coffee, read, study, or catch up with a friend, this is it. The friendly staff, cozy vibe, and natural light create the perfect atmosphere. It’s a great spot for a deep convo, a small group meet-up, or just some personal time. The standard espresso drinks and creative monthly specials always hit the spot. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. You have to try the flatbreads and breakfast sandwich, both are available as gluten free and/or dairyfree!

Lovely little place with a great mission to serve the community and a focus on helping the less fortunate. Instead of a tip for food service workers, you can choose to contribute to a "pay it forward" fund to help provide free meals to the needy. If you're hungry and can't afford a meal, you can discreetly order a meal from the pay it forward fund. The food is made from locally-sourced ingredients when possible, and is fresh, healthy, and delicious. Wonderful vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. A restaurant totally worthy of anyone's support!

Forced to go out of my comfort zone after my favorite newbo place closed. I’m a creature of habit and a picky eater so I’ve never had Indian food before but the menu clearly labeled gluten free and vegan options and that caught my attention. Ordered a few things so I could try some (figuring if I ordered just one thing I may not like it) and was pleasantly surprised that I liked all four items I selected very much! Great flavors. I’m happy to have had this new experience and definitely will return.
