We always like the food, but I want to note that Edwin is such a great waiter! Kind, thoughtful, efficient, and friendly. Thanks for a great breakfast! One thing - I wish there were gluten-free bread options.

What a cozy, cool cafe. My girlfriends and I grab breakfast and lunch here often. Fabulous food! Flaky crusted daily quiche packed with flavor at a very good price of $10 fans it is enough fir 2 people). freshly made avocado toast. Best ever chicken salad ( pecans,!). Delectable crepes ( savory and sweet), muffins, sugar cookies. You name it. Lots of table seating. Bar stools. Outdoor seating in ice weather. Large selection of teas and coffees. May vegetarian and gluten free options. Cool gifts and mugs.

So friendly, cozy, and gluten-free accommodating! I got delicious sweet potato fries, a yummy grilled sandwich, and gf chocolate chip cookies. Not to mention a tasty latte. Often gluten free sandwiches come ridiculously small because the bread is tiny. Here, they give you two sandwiches to make it a normal sized meal, and the bread was delish.

Went here to get some work done and was pleasantly surprised! Their waffles are gluten free but more of a banana bread than a typical Belgian. They also had a gluten-free red velvet cake in the case that I look forward to trying one day. Plus they have açaí bowls! I will definitely be coming back as gluten free cafes are so hard to come by.

Best BBQ in the DMV. All the meats are great. Easy to eat gluten-free except (needlessly) for the cornbread. C'MON MISSION BBQ, it's *corn* bread, cut the gluten.Try the smoked turkey and the brisket (moist, NOT the lean, that gets dry). Friendly folks at ALL positions.

I've been here several times and always had a lovely experience. We went there this week to celebrate a big birthday and sitting on the patio was an extra special treat. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff was very friendly. The gnocchi was homemade and incredible! Highly recommend. It also had some great Gluten Free options, including Gluten Free Pizza. Even though it is upscale it was not awkward to have kids with us. Good for families too!

Entitlement with no taste. Food was heavily salted and the garlic mash potatoes tasted only of garlic. No balance in the pallete. I was intrigued but let down by the blandness of the street corn. French onion soup, salty and plain. Garlic and cheese broccoli plain and salty. I will say we didnt have the opportunity to order an entree because we went to eat somewhere else. However, (Cody) the server was very polite. We sat down outside, the manager (Older Women) acted appalled we didn't have a reservation LOL... the other hostess (Dark curly hair) was expentionally kind. The rest of the staff I interacted with seemed entitled Decent amount of gluten free options for appetizers, but not as many for entrées. (This is why we left) Place seems like it's designed for older wealthy people to feel good while they over pay for their meal that tasted like it was made in a microwave oven. For ... sakes a woman across from me dropped a fork and wait for the server to pick it up... My brother is a classically trained French cuisine chef, and I am by no means comparing the food to his, but if I did I wouldn't ever step in this place again.

With great specials and tasty takeout, this spot's garlicy cheese bread is a must-try, but plan your visit since it closes earlier than most.

I have been coming here for years and have also used their catering on a few occasions. It is delicious Italian Food and the service is great. They do have a few gluten free options as well. But if you indulge in gluten - try the "cheese bread" appetizer - it is garlicy and delicious!! I go there sometimes just to get this as a takeout item. They have nice specials too. You can also make reservations here which is really nice. Just be forewarned that they close a little on the early side - or at least earlier than most restaurants.
