About the food - Their smoked brisket chili is roll-your-eyes-back-in-your-head good, and the ribs fell off the bone so beautifully. Moved onto the desserts too, couldn’t believe how great the peach cobbler tasted, talk about nostalgia bonanza! Not to forget, gluten trouble people, they’ve got your back! Chief, you get all this smack-bang for your buck, without hurting the wallet.

Their sandwiches are fantastic and the service is always spot on. I have celiac disease and require a gluten free diet. I can always count on that option here. They ask if it is allergy or preference and when I tell them it’s an allergy, they take proper precautions including cleaning the grill to avoid potential cross-contact. Worth the wait for a delicious sandwich (They use Udi’s GF bread) I can actually eat! Thank you San Carlos Jersey mikes!

We throughly enjoyed all the food served on the night, also the gluten free meals. The entrees of , chicken satay, spring rolls were all heat hot and tasty. Cashew Nut and Pad Thai were all a good size serving and very tasty. Not being a lover of rice I couldn’t stop eating the chicken fried rice, not sure what was in it but it was yummy. Friendly staff, very attentive. Recommend this restaurant and would definately return.

It’s a nice cafe with delicious pastries, the food is incredible, coffee the best! Highly recommend coming here if you’re not local and want a nice breakfast/ brunch! They have different options, so I think there’s something for all even my gluten free friends! The only thing to be aware of is that it does get busy, it can be a bit crowded and you just have to be prepared to be around a bunch of people for a bit but the line moves pretty quickly!
