My first time eating here. Overall a great experience. Burger was awesome! They have a separate gluten free menu, so you don't have to wonder what you can have. The kitchen is not GF, so even though they say they take precautions, there's likely cross contamination. The GF bun for my burger was actually really good. They have a pretty good selection of drinks, I had an espresso martini, it was a little pricy, but it was a nice date night out with the hubby.

I heard that they are celiac-friendly and wanted a quick bite on the go. This was the first time I'd gone since my diagnosis, so I went in because I was nervous about making sure it was safe for me to have it. The person who took my order had limited knowledge, but luckily it was not very busy, and the manager took the opportunity to explain to both of us the process. Not only they have a few gf items marked on the menu, but if you tell them you have an allergy, they make sure to alert the staff, so they clean the area, utensils and change gloves before preparing the meal. They have a separate fryer for the fries, too! The grilled chicken sandwich was appetizing and gluten-free.

My first time in. I'm Gluten Free and I tried the chicken parm - the GF pasta was good as was the sauce but the grilled chicken seasoning wasn't my kinda flav. It was good overall though.

Such a great downtown staple! We have tried quite a few things on the menu and haven’t encountered one that isn’t good. I am so impressed that they offer gluten free raviolis, I haven't found these anywhere else. The birthday number pizzas (and the heart shape, which I like to get just for fun sometimes😂) are a big hit with our kids. Definitely recommend.

When they say they have gluten free options, it is only partially true. Cross contamination is an issue.

Wow!! When I heard the news MSP would be offering Gluten-Free crust in 2024, I couldn’t wait to try it. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Chewy, flaky, and deliciousness was served! I’ve been GF for 20 years, this is one of the best gluten-free options out there. Thank you thank you! Excited to try all the pizzas now!

Got catering from Frontera Grill for a party at our house. Nacho-taco bar. The manager personally handled and delivered the catering order. They were great about making items gluten free and vegan for us. Delivery was on time and they brought it right inside. It was a lot of food! We sent everyone home with food and still had lots of leftovers. The carnitas, spanish rice, charro beans, and roasted vegetables were all delicious. Thanks Leo and to the chefs!

If you have a gluten allergy or celiac, beware. We went to an event here, and they had pizza. The gluten free pizzas were mislabeled and the person with the allergy ate regular pizza and got very sick. Beware if you have a food allergy and go here.

It's been a few years since I've been here but it's still just as amazing. The food is fantastic, the blueberry buckle oatmeal is a truly special treat, the coffee is endless, and I was happily surprised to learn they have pretty good gluten free toast! It was perfect with the Irish benedict. The hashbrowns are also fire, which is a true measure of any good breakfast place.

I have come here more and more over the past six months and have to say that it has improved ten fold since I've started coming. It's grown in all the good ways and their staff is phenomenal. I've always had a good experience here. It's a cozy atmosphere with friendly, knowledgeable staff that are so good with kids. My child filled out a form to "order" her own glazes and they worked with her to figure out what she wanted in such a respectful way. They came up to her on her level and talked through what she wanted her project to look like. The cafe has such good food options and now has gluten free options!! 🙌🙌 They have great classes with a nice atmosphere to relax and enjoy with friends. We come here frequently now whenever we want to relax and unwind and are feeling crafty. Love this place.
