Everything at brunch can be gluten free! Few places in town have GF pancakes or waffles, and they not only have them but they are good. The brunch menu rotates but everything we've had there for brunch and dinner has been awesome. Highly recommend if you have celiac or just want to avoid gluten and be a little gluttonous.

My husband, mom, and I came to brunch this past Saturday. I'm gluten free, told my waitress I was and asked for some exchanges like gluten free toast. This was the only thing I ate on Saturday because later in the day, I had a massive gluten allergy reaction. I'm not sure if the waitress didn't tell the chef or the chef didn't read the ticket correctly, but there was gluten. I just want you to know because it's important that customers with allergies feel safe to eat here, especially when your menu states gluten free alternatives. It's a lovely, delicious restaurant that I'd like to come back to. Please on behalf of us non-gluten tolerating folks, watch out for our modifications. I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Thank you and have a happy new year. I sent this message to MIX on FB but they never got back to me.

Lovely, quiet cafe perfect for meeting friends, family, or just hanging out doing work. The menu is small but has a good variety of drinks and treats, options for gluten and dairy free as well. Everything seems sourced very well and handmade. I hope they eventually will have more lunch available soon, as they seem to only do it for a short period of time with only a few specials every day. Love the savory and sweet hand pies! Blueberry with lemon glaze is my favorite.

I love CTB and always go whenever I'm in town. Please be careful packing your food, though -- we ordered a vegetarian bagel on sesame and another on a gluten free bagel and they were packed so that each box had half of each bagel.

Collegetown Bagel got us hooked! We visited three times in just 24 hours! It's a breakfast (and lunch) champion, offering tons of choices beyond just their delicious bagels. From refreshing smoothies and thick milkshakes (and a surprising selection of beers), there's something for everyone. We also loved the salads and the variety of prepared meals and snacks you can grab and go for a picnic lunch. Plus, shoutout to Collegetown Bagel for offering gluten-free bread and bagels! The only thing missing was a bit more friendly service. The staff were efficient, but a touch of warmth would have made our visits even better. Overall, Collegetown Bagel is a fantastic choice for a delicious and convenient breakfast or lunch. The extensive menu, grab-and-go options, and gluten-free selections are a huge perk. With a little extra friendliness from the staff, Collegetown Bagel would be an absolute delight!

Love it here! The service is great. There's so many food options. They even have gluten free options! I just love everything about this place! But it's not very cheap. For two people with a bagel and drink it can cost around $20. But great food and coffee and cute atmosphere.
