One of my favorite places in Ann Arbor. I could have French toast/pancakes/ waffles and be completely fine. Highly recommend

Delicious ice cream! The vanilla caramel is my favorite thus far. The flight gives us 4 small portions of our choosing which is perfect for my wife, two small kids, and I. Staff is young and friendly and the chalk board is a nice touch for the kids. Glad I don't live within walking distance of here, otherwise, I'd be here everyday. Also, they clearly label which options are gluten free. Doesn't matter to me, but nice for those looking out for that.

House beer and guest cider were both delicious. We shared two entrees, chicken and fish, both with a side of summer squash. Everything was great! Bonus: they were very knowledgeable about my partner's gluten sensitivity and had a great gluten free menu.

They took more than an hour to bring me the burger I ordered. All my friends were done with their meals when mine arrived, clearly overcooked. I asked for a basic mayonnaise and was told they didn't have. They don't offer any gluten free option for beers, which is rare in 2024.

I have a lot of crazy and sever food allergies. I was thrilled when I read on their website that they cater to a gluten/dairy free menu. I called up to confirm and spoke with Mike. He talked to the chef about my allergies and was assured it would be fine. And it was! I was there Monday night, so sorry I do not remember the name of our waitress who was wonderful! The card with all the sides and allergies listed was a godsend. She was so helpful. The flank steak was great. The wine was very good. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make my food. We need more allergy friendly places like you!

Went in early pandemic, Kosmo and his sous chef treated us well and they were very friendly. Food delicious, and what you want out of a bowl, add whatever sounds good. Good for gluten free and vegetarian too!

Some of the best lattes and cappuccinos around. Seasonal gluten free pumpkin pie bars are mildly sweet and perfectly moist, unlike most American desserts. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = GF Options! I was invited to try this place out as a Gift. First of course, the waitstaff were Great. The Atmosphere interior was cozy, and upbeat like what you'd expect from Ann Arbor Spots. The only critic here would be that the side main window view opens up directly to a Gas Station... they could consider completly Blacking those windows out and adding some exterior and interior designs to create a better experience visually. Now the food... "Coffee and the Cups were Great! I also gave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating "because you can get the pancakes or the sandwiches made with a gluten-free bread option!" Any restaurant still not offering gluten-free just doesn't care too much about their patrons. The food is definitely A Cut above the typical Coney Island breakfast. You can taste the freshness and lack of over used low quality cooking oil you find in Coney's. Ideas; To take the experience to the next level, they could ask if you want your pancakes, plain or pre-buttered?? If the patron choses pre-buttered, there should be a decent coat of hot salted butter on each pancake. Also offer A Sweeter Maple Syrup. Great place to visit, and I would like to come back to try the lunch menu out "as the sandwich menu does look veeeery tempting"!

We had a fabulous experience. The restaurant is lovely and thoughtfully designed. The bowls are beautiful and taste incredible. The owners are from Brazil, and they have brought Brazilian flavors and fruits to their smoothies and bowls. Gluten free, Celiac friendly.
