Late lunch at 3 and had difficulty finding someone open. Thankfully they were and it was happy hour. Very knowledgeable about gluten free options and even had gluten free teriyaki and soy sauce.

I was visiting some friends and they recommended this place for dinner. Food was ok, nothing exceptional or different. The plates were huge and the food was heavy. Nothing to accommodate a gluten allergy.

DELICIOUS! We love BBQ and this place did not disappoint. The meat was so tender and favorfull and there are lots of options to make even my picky eaters happy. This place is allergy friendly and safe for anyone with celiacs.We had the ranging bull sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich. Both were so good and instead of your regular bun the sandwich is made with garlic bread! We got their bread pudding for dessert and it was HUGE. Definitely enough to share. We will be back.

It's a very nice cozy place, service is good and employees are very friendly. But i wish they had more healthy options like gluten-free, real matcha tea, more tea, low sugar treats, but overall good salads! And open at late afternoon or evening.

I have become a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to gluten free pizza crusts. I just ordered a gluten free pepperoni pizza from Showtime Pizzeria and it was totally delicious. If it’s not my favorite GF crust it’s very close to it. The sauce, cheese, and meat were also top notch! Friendly staff too. If you’re on the fence about where to eat, I definitely recommend this spot!

This place is a bit funky and the food is very good. We went when the place was jam packed, so the service suffered a bit, but the food was worth waiting for. I had a make-your-own scramble with chorizo, mushrooms, and avocado which was excellent. The cafe also accommodated some in our group that have gluten and dairy allergies. I'll definitely be back.
