The unclear gluten designated dishes as clear lack of staff understanding - and more over making stuff up on the spot - is having me not come here anymore. A shame as I was a regular before these recent changes in menu and staff training.

A great breakfast place I've been going to for decades. Had lemon curd pancakes, so good! Others had catfish and eggs and lox scramble. We left nothing behind! They have excellent gluten free toast.

Great place to get a big breakfast for under $20. Gluten free crepes, pancakes and toast. Fresh food always. Super friendly flexible staff and owners (ie let me swap the ham on my Benedict for GF bread, no upcharge, never complain when I bring my own coffee). Great place to bring the kids (kid menu) and to WORK! Large open space with just the right amount of noise/activity to keep you on task).

Delicious as usual! They're open for take out with some cocktails too that you can get, all to go. You can use delivery apps to get food delivered. The Saap Avenue is my favorite Laotian food place with a lot of gluten free, vegetarian offerings. The vegetarian tofu larp, vegetarian lao style fried spring rolls & their Lao appetizer sampler (most version) are a must. They're so nice & every dish I've tried here is really spectacular. Yum!

Healthy, tasty, extremely accommodating with food allergies/sensitivities. The couple that run this are lovely, this is a favorite for our family!! (Be sure to ask for the sesame balls, a sweet treat that’s gluten-free!) Other favs: the chow fun wide rice noodles, eggplant dish & green beans! 😋

Lovely staff made me gluten free injera to accompany a wonderful vegetarian platter. A little outdoor space in front with three tables so our dog could join us. The dishes were spiced just right.

absolutely wonderful. amazing people work there, so quick and easy and the quality of the chef selection is just to die for. for celiac folks out there I asked the owner and they brine their ikura in salt water so it's gluten free and they also have single serve gluten free soy sauce for you. what a win.
