They had a variety of gluten free options and our server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable!

Hannah Jahn

Amaaazing gluten free and vegan/dairy free soft serve ice cream! The Amaretto is my favorite and the ice cream sandwiches are great! Definitely a hidden treasure

Katja Jylkka

Amazing food and drinks. Our kids love everything off the kid's menu too! I'm celiac and have to eat gluten free, and they have delicious gluten free baked goods (stored separately and above the other baked goods) and are always very clear about what can be made gluten free. Love coming here!

Perrin Brown

Dedicated fryer and very attentive staff for any and all dietary needs

Jennifer Turpin

Always a favorite when visiting that area. The food is always great, and we leave with vegan/gluten free desserts that rival no vegan/gluten free bakeries.

TJ McGuckin

Food and service were fantastic. I got the breakfast burrito and added a hasbrown inside of it. The thing was massive and very good. All wait staff was very nice. Coffee was great too. Classic old school diner look and feel. Glad to see they have multiple Gluten Free options + sourdough bread too.

Julianne

Delicious, interesting, healthy food. Great variety of gluten-free options including a scrumptious GF lemon bar/brownie.

Every meal I’ve had here has been so delicious! The staff is really helpful, as I can’t eat dairy, gluten or nuts, and they are able to confirm for me what is safe for me to order. Wonderful atmosphere, too!

I visited Silk City Coffee in Manchester, CT, on a very rainy day, and stepping inside felt like a warm embrace. The space is inviting, with plenty of seating for those working remotely, as well as cozy couches in the back—perfect for meeting up with a friend, reading a book, or simply enjoying a slow morning. There’s a real sense of community here, and it shows. As for the treats: Gluten-Free Vegan Blackberry Lime Donut – I don’t know how they made this gluten-free and vegan and still so delicious, but they did! Tart, sweet, and perfectly soft. Orange Ricotta Cake – Soft and moist with a lovely orange flavor. The frosting on top was the perfect complement. Funfetti Cookie – Soft, chewy, and just the right amount of sweetness. A fun, nostalgic treat. Regular Latte – Beautiful latte art and a bold coffee flavor. Bouquet Latte – Topped with delicate flowers, this latte was not only beautiful but also had a wonderful floral flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. If you like flavored coffee, this is a must-try! Silk City Coffee is a true gem, whether you're looking for a place to work, catch up with a friend, or simply savor a great cup of coffee. Highly recommend!

Delicious food, plenty of gluten free options.

Christopher Chanowitz

Good food, great service. Very quaint and cozy. Lots of gluten free options. Food was hot and delicious 😋. Service impeccable.

Grace P

Wow! A Celiac's dream! Delicious gluten free baked goods plus an entire cooler stocked with things to go. I haven't eaten a cinnamon bun since being diagnosed with my gluten free allergy 6 years ago - and it was so good it nearly brought a tear to my eyes! Also, one of the best gluten free cupcakes I've ever had. I had a sandwich on a gluten free wrap and the wrap was pretty good as far as gluten free wraps go. Generous portions, delicious salads, this is a place I'll return to over and over again.

sut mickle

They have a nice gluten free menu section but the French toast was not tasty.

Shari Ryan

Super cute place, lovely owners, great staff and delicious food and drinks. They also are great at handling Gluten Free needs. I love that I have options there.

Tess Edge

Lovely, clean, kind and GLUTEN FREE TREATS!

Krystal Thompson

I love going to Love Heart's! It's a small business that feels like a family. They put a lot of care and, yes, love into their food. Lots of gluten free and allergen free options. Really cozy space that you want to hang out in. The service is always friendly and everyone is really kind. The coffee is good and I love the English Muffin bread. Lots of character with some good eco friendly practices. Also the prices are much lower than other places in the area and comes with equal or better quality.

Jason Pettrey

Great local restaurant with gluten-free options. Good beer, selection and nice chili. Had some live jazz music on Saturday night as we came through as well. Not college cheap, but the food was good quality. Definitely put on your list to check out.

Elizabeth Tetlow

The gluten free offerings are outstanding! I bought the lemon tea cake and the raspberry basque coffee cake. Textures and flavors were excellent. There were several more items that I'll be back for. The young lady who waited on me was friendly and efficient. There's some cool seating areas so you can enjoy a coffee and a treat there if you'd like.

Cate Hackett

such awesome food options and for my mom who is gluten free

Terri Moore

Stopped in hoping to get some gluten free food. After ordering coffee, we decided the gluten free options were not for us. I went to the counter to pay for the coffee and politely explained we were looking for something different. The cook proceeded to rattle off all the things she could cook. I politely declined. She continued listing her gluten free accomplishments, pancakes and French toast, to which I declined AGAIN. It came to the point where it was almost badgering. I said “No, thanks,” yet again and that’s when her face changed to anger/disgust, and she slapped her hand down on the counter where I had a placed a $5. Absolutely AWFUL customer service.I actually give zero stars for her childish behavior.

James H

Gluten free for my wife and Great taste

Veronica Grondin

Delicious breakfast. The best in this area. My family loved it and will be returning. Appreciate that there are so many gluten free options!

Meghan Ireton

Worthy of five stars. Local beef and fresh veggies. Great customer service, wait staff was attentive and courteous. They have an array of options whether your vegan and or looking for gluten free options so nobody’s left out. My fiancé and I stopped in for lunch and got burgers. Best burger we have had in a long time! The beef was fresh and the burger was juicy. We will definitely stop back soon.

Wesam H

We stopped in here during our visits in New haven. This establishment boasts an appealing atmosphere with a charming ambience. The service is courteous, although the waitstaff, while kind, may be preoccupied. Consideration for a designated server could enhance attentiveness. The cappuccino is commendable. Among the crepes, the Norvegienne, featuring smoked salmon, lacks a harmonious flavor profile with the buckwheat base. However, the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe proves delightful. While I would revisit, I suggest avoiding the savory buckwheat crepes, as they may not align with personal preferences, though they may appeal to those seeking a gluten-free option. Be prepared to smell like a crepe when leaving. Bathroom is in a very weird location with scary movie vibes.

Matt M

Nice clean restaurant with very good food. Breakfast and lunch only. Large assortment of gluten free goodies. The GF chocolate chocolate chip cookies was excellent and would not have known it was GF

Shan B

I had their gluten sensitive donut and it was delicious! Note it is gluten sensitive NOT gluten free so please do not try it or be careful if you have celiac or are very very sensitive/intolerant. It was delicious tasted like a vanilla cinnamon cake. I had her read me the ingredients which they have on hand in a binder if you want to see its ingredients. it is rice flour based *i am gluten intolerant/sensitive*

Kimberly Lawrence

One of my favorite places to go for smoothies, coffee, and of course Gena’s gluten free, dairy free muffins and cookies. They’re outstanding!! The atmosphere is perfect. I feel like I’m on vacation in Burlington, Vermont when you step inside and I’m only a few miles from home. Perfection!!

Caitlin Taylor

Great gluten and dairy free grab and go smoothies, salad, wraps, and pastries. I was too eager to eat everything that I didn’t take a photo. Very tasty!

Lauren Auresto

Cute market with unique choices! I tried the quinoa cashew cake today which was gluten free and vegan and it was so delish!! They have a section of already prepared foods which has so many other choices I can wait to try as well!

B F

Thank you to Amber for being extremely careful about making my order gluten free. As a celiac, I'm very limited to where I can safely eat. Amber was very reassuring and the food was great. I did not get sick. The gf donuts are the best I've ever had! Thank you again!

Kittay

I'd give 100 stars if I could for how good the gluten free hot chicken sandwich and gluten free cookies were! I absolutely loved it. Best GF food I've had in a while

c j

My boyfriend and my favorite breakfast spot! Our favorite gluten free option, the best cup of coffee!

Catherine Kalonia

Love love love Faith Cafe! Everything is delicious, especially their baked goods. Gluten Free never tasted sooo good!!

Valerie Fallon

The crepes are amazing and super delicious. Prepare to spend $10 ish each or more. It’s gluten free Crêpe which is freaking fantastic. It’s a take out place. They have gelato or some fancy boba drinks. Wait could be 20 mins. Order ahead if you can.

Carrie

Great food but even better people! I’m gluten free and it’s hard to find a good sandwich! They are amazing at making my allergy a priority and not an inconvenience.

rebecca stefanelli

We decided last minute to pop in on Christmas eve morning. Some folks in the party of 7 had eaten there before. Those who were new were very happy. It's a clean, welcoming environment. It's well priced and portions were hearty. There were gluten-free options. Service was provided professionally and with a smile. Food is yummy. Great breakfast and lunch place with pretty views, depending on your seating.

Ken S

Great local coffee shop. For their small store front they have a good amount of seating and seem to do a good amount of take-out business. They offer some of the best Gluten Free treats in the area and their fresh bagels and sandwiches are so much better than anything from the chain coffee shops. They are right near the train tracks in a lively part of downtown Stafford. But I have never been there when a train went by... Need to keep trying.

Kathy

The restaurant makes everything fresh daily. They also have a large gluten free selection. They also do baking for other restaurants like grinder rolls and more. Thank you so much for our experience.

HIM Gotblessings

At first, it didn't feel like a kid friendly atmosphere, but everyone who works here was very nice to my 2 year old. He likes it here. And the food here is GOOD! I will try coffee here soon!! Chicken and waffles for me and breakfast sandwich on a gluten-free dinner roll for him.

Emma Wagner

God came back to this earth and created this place's GF apple cider donut muffin. Such a cool place, eternally kind people. Can't recommend enough. They take gluten contamination seriously as well!!!

Ted Rogers

Love it. Recommended to me by a coworker and almost immediately became my regular coffee stop. Specialty drinks are all pretty delicious. Large iced coffees come in a tub for those who drink it year round and multiple dairy options are available with milk, cream, and nut choices. The pastries are also tasty with vegan and gluten free options. The staff is friendly, funny, and knows how to get you caffeinated. Between all that and the atmosphere it's exactly what I picture in my head when I think of a local coffee shop. Most stand out moment was being asked if my drink was too dark. I don't like a lot of milk so little things like that make a difference to my experience.

Cassandra Ares

I've been a customer of Susan's since she opened. The carefully crafted inventions (literally works of art) she creates out of food and drink are out of this world. Check out her Instagram account for some pics of her amazing creations! I also have tons of allergies and Susan has offered options for what is safe vs. not safe for me, including all gluten free options!

Kassondra Rouleau

The presentation of food was beautiful and was delicious! The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is so cozy. Great little place for breakfast or lunch! And gluten free options available which is a huge plus for me. Highly recommend!
