The outside seating area was beautiful and clean! Our waitress was efficient and knowledgeable ! She brought out our order quickly, so it was still hot! They have a delicious gluten free and/ or dairy free/ vegan menu! Our server/ waitress brought us a booklet on the history of the pump house and the surrounding area at no charge. I would definitely recommend this resturant to my family and friends!

I love the salad bar. It’s always clean, well stocked, fresh, and reasonably priced. For less than $7, I can get a large plate of salad. For $10.??, you can get unlimited refills of salad. It’s been a challenge to find a salad bar after everything shut down in 2020. So thankful I found this salad bar. Very clean. Smells fresh. Nice staff. Reasonable prices. It’s my new “go-to” for any meal. P.S. If you eat pizza, they have lots of good pizza. I am gluten free, so I don’t eat pizza, but my family and friends love it!! Lunch pizza buffet is also very reasonably priced.

The place was packed. We did have to wait but it was a Monday night and almost every table was full. Our server served us and was incredible despite handling quite a few tables. Our time was great and food was perfect. My wife has to be gluten free and they are always super accommodating and my wife has never gotten sick.

Stopped in for lunch on our way from Georgia to Michigan. The service was decent, but the food was great! One person at the table ordered the pork chops and have been talking about them for days. We also had a gluten-free family member with us, and they had several options for them as well.

Really nice place. The staff were incredibly sweet and made us feel at home. I have a gluten allergy and they were able to take care of me. I really can't say that too many chinese restaurants are able to cater to gluten free people, but they went out of their way to make it safe for me. Would definitely come back.

If you stick to rolls and sushi without any sauce, you can safely be gluten free here. They even have gluten free soy sauce in the back! Best sushi in a 50 mile radius.

Expensive for the quality, but what can you do, most areas they have a monopoly on the coffee drink market. Which isn't to say their coffee isn't good, just I think it should be better for the price they charge. I do enjoy their gluten free breakfast sandwiches with a coffee drink, and their service is usually quite good.

Love their "Unwich" as a gluten-free or lo-cal option. Every other table is X'd to allow for social distancing, but staff aren't masked.

I have a genetic mutation that makes it so my body can't process gluten. As soon as I mentioned this, the staff was very helpful in helping me find something that I could eat without worrying. They are also very friendly in general, not to mention the food is fantastic.

We stopped for dinner on a road trip. I must be gluten free and a review on another site indicated the owner is gluten free. All of the staff we talked to were friendly and attentive. The manager we spoke to was very knowledgeable about gluten free options and helped me make a selection, Kang Koon shrimp in red curry sauce. It was fantastic and had lots of shrimp. The red curry sauce was not that spicy but I couldn’t stop eating it. We also got two sushi rolls, Angel Roll and Green Dragon Roll. Not only beautiful, but also mouthwateringly delicious. They provided gluten free soy sauce and made any adjustments necessary for our sushi rolls and dishes to be gluten free. We will definitely be back when we get the chance.

This was my first time here since going gluten free for medical condition. The gentleman who helped me was so nice and helpful. He recommended a salad bowl with all the toppings I chose, since they don't have any gluten free wraps or bread. It was actually delicious and I'll definitely be back knowing I have another location where I can actually eat something. Thanks again.

I love Lucabe and go for dates, special treats, or just when I need a pick-me-up! Lucabes syrups are all gluten-free, which is super important as I'm very gluten sensitive. I also love that I can choose non-dairy milk because I'm dairy sensitive, too. Thank you, Lucabe, for being so accommodating to so many of us out there who have serious dietary restrictions but can still come to your place and enjoy a perfect matcha or latte!!
