The Flint Crepe Company had a lot of selections for regular diets and Gluten Free. They also had oat milk. My daughter has several food allergies and she was able to enjoy her breakfast.

I eat here all the time! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere gives a cozy hipster vibe, and the drinks are amazing. You can watch them make everything you order, and you can customize the ingredients is basically everything. They even have gluten free and vegan options. I have started asking for wild combos and the staff is amazingly adaptable and even when I over order on the crèpe fillings (purposefully) they manage to still make it delicious and hold together. I’m not a big fan of coffee but the rest of their drinks are equally as good as I hear their coffee is. Lightning Lemonades (or Lightning Arnold Palmers) are the best way to get your energy for the day. Aside from the taste, the ever changing specials menu is awesome and makes for a different experience every time you go. If the Gyro is the special it’s mandatory to eat here several times a week, I don’t make the rules. Finally if you are sitting at the bench windows you can look out at the Soo Locks, watching the giant freighters come and go, a perfect view for locals and tourists alike.

I have to eat gluten free and my waitress, Nicole, was able to recommend food and drinks for me that kept me safe while also appealing to the rest of my party so we were all able to have and share appetizers, shareables, main dishes, and dessert. Thank you for such a wonderful location to dine at, with wonderful staff like Nicole to expertly advise us on the best dishes and drinks for us all!

What a lovely little brunch spot! Sweet atmosphere, great service with special care for allergies/dietary restrictions, and amazing food! Between the four of us, we had 6 different crepes, both sweet and savory. Everything was devoured and nobody had a single complaint about their meal. Perfectly made crepes, flavorful fillings, and ample portions! One of our party has a gluten allergy and we were so pleasantly surprised to see gluten free and vegan options on the menu! Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a delicious brunch!

Me and my husband made a reservation here for our wedding anniversary. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This restaurant deserves all 5 stars more than any other restaurant I’ve ever been to. The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free and all of their options. He was very knowledgeable about the daily specials. He came and checked on us a perfect amount of times which is very hard to find in todays restaurant world. All the waitstaff were extremely patient the whole night. The atmosphere was relaxing and set off an amazing vibe. I highly recommend making a reservation for this place as they are always busy. The food was the best food me and my husband both had our whole trip. Our drinks were made perfectly and dessert was amazing. This restaurant deserves a pat on the back for their amazingness. If me and my husband are ever back in town again we will definitely be coming back.

All of the dishes were great. Tons of gluten free options as well. The service was excellent also.

For years, Hearthstone has been one of my favorite local restaurants for many reasons: delicious food, variety on the menu, excellent customer service, nice atmosphere, good music, etc etc. I now appreciate them for a different reason: gluten free options. I’ve recently had to go gluten free for health reasons, and it’s made going out to eat less easy than it used to be, to say the least. Hearthstone, however, not only has gluten free options labeled on their menu, but they have a nice variety of them! Everything I ordered tasted great, and as always, I look forward to visiting again. Definitely recommend!

I have been here a few times for lunch, there is always gluten free options. I stick to the items marked on the menu and safe options. Had the salmon last time and it was delicious. I have never been sick

Beth Craig

Our server, Audrey, was kind, courteous and polite, also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations. She was attentive without being intrusive. The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We had Baked Whitefish Caesar and I highly recommend the grilled hanger steak, as I am gluten free I had it with the sauteed spinach and they were both cooked to perfection.

Chloe

Gluten free options that actually taste good and are filling. Excellent coffee.

Kyla

We had an amazing dinner. The food is consistently high quality. The service can be a bit slow sometimes but the servers are knowledgeable, friendly and always very accommodating with dietary restrictions. Our server this time was incredible and made really great food and drink recommendations. My partner has celiac’s and we’ve never had any issues, they’re always very careful to talk to the kitchen. Highly recommend the sea bass and lamb shank. Beautiful decor and ambiance.

Came here with my family (group of 7) while visiting from Chicago to celebrate Christmas. We all had the chefs tasting menu, which was coursed and timed perfectly for a nice break between courses- nothing was rushed, a really nice experience. Cocktails were fantastic too! All in, this was probably my favorite restaurant experience of the year. This place competes with some of the best! Most memorable were the baked scallop, boeuf tartare, roasted carrot salad with foie gras, and smoked salmon deviled eggs. Go for the food, ambience, and friendly service. Dessert was good, but didn’t compare to the rest of the meal. We had the flourless chocolate cake. That said, anything more elaborate probably would have been too rich and heavy following an already amazing meal! I’d like to thank the team for going above and beyond with accommodating my sister’s gluten allergy, bringing amazing substitutes or even altering dishes to ensure all of us had a memorable experience.

Busy, bustling, diverse, great cocktails, gluten free bread and options, efficient.

Hands down the best breakfast I’ve had in years! The gluten free toast was delicious and stayed together under the perfectly prepared eggs Benedict, and the potato pancake was a wonderful savory compliment to the beignets. Please please come here and eat their yummy food, you’ll be so glad you did.

My review is loaded with reasons of why I rated as I did… really nice place for sure! Great atmosphere.. they were booked solid for sitting at a table. We sat at the bar. They greeted us and came over to take our drink orders. Drinks were served quickly. Bartender/Server.. his name was Simone so he gets 6 stars for patience for running around 20 million times asking the chef questions. I’m lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, and garlic intolerant. So with that being said it’s 2025 restaurants should be versed in these dietary restrictions. How silly of you to have a menu with gluten intolerance foods highlighted/stated and then switch to a ridiculous menu to only make your servers lives extremely difficult. That poor gentlemen running around all night trying to accommodate. Chef Bruce Allen & Chef Noel Cabrera so many places get it. You don’t. You have to pivot and learn how to accommodate dietary restrictions. Your menu is ridiculous simplify things for customers and your staff! There way of ‘accommodating’ was wait til 10pm let us clean up and then prepare your meal?! That’s ridiculous! I had an extremely long day just wanted to spend time with my significant other have a nice dinner and a good time. Somehow getting food out has become a chore! Thanks If you have dietary restrictions go to the bar and look for the gentleman I mentioned he will go thru hoops trying to make you happy. I hope they treat him well. If it weren’t for him I would have walked out! Parking is side street paid or garage paid via app. I saw the meter maid doing his rounds they figure you out and charge! Pay it or you’ll get something in the mail.
