I absolutely love Green Olive. I have celiac and have never had an issue with food, and they have so many options! My only issue is they close earlier than their hours say and it’s not super close to where I live, so when I finally get through my day and am SO looking forward to a good calzone, they’re closed hours earlier than it says online. That has been and is my only issue and it’s so disappointing to me as I can’t get this kind of food everywhere, driving over half an hour away and craving the food to find out it’s closed it so sad :(.

Extensive gluten free options and huge portions but pretty pricy!! At least leftovers can be brought home for another meal. Always a risk of cross contamination at an establishment like this

I've been meaning to try this place for well over a year and a half and was concerned when it temporarily closed down earlier in 2024. Finding out the owners had staffing issues and, since then, having corrected them, Toast, Four Corners was everything i had hoped for. It is relatively close to the city where i live with an enjoyable ride heading towards the Uconn campus and countryish atmosphere. There is plenty of free parking to this cozy, cute breakfast and lunch nook. Which doesn't seem very large until you go in and see it is much bigger, yet comfortable inside. Sunday after 11 am is prime breakfast hours, but we I didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes for a table. Service was very courteous and prompt, not rushing to take an order while deciding. Options from regular breakfast to omelets, sandwiches, waffles ( with chicken), pancakes, gluten free, and the like to their own creation of " the pile" ( caserole style dish). Comfortable, bright, open place with good food and service that will make you want to try it for lunch. Definitely will be on my rotation as one of my local breakfast stops.

We decided last minute to pop in on Christmas eve morning. Some folks in the party of 7 had eaten there before. Those who were new were very happy. It's a clean, welcoming environment. It's well priced and portions were hearty. There were gluten-free options. Service was provided professionally and with a smile. Food is yummy. Great breakfast and lunch place with pretty views, depending on your seating.

As a celiac person I found the best GF waffles. I had them with walnut inside. They also have GF pancakes and Gf bread. A lot of topping to choose. Full breakfast and lunch menu. Coffee was delicious.

The food was so good we went back the next morning. My son said they have the best gluten free French toast he's ever had. The maple chorizo skillet and Cinnamon bun pancakes are both amazing. Late edit: Earlier before we got food we mentioned to the chef my son loves his French toast and that we came back for it even though we're from out of town. Right before we left the chef came over and gave us some of the bread they use for their French toast so we could make it at home. If I could give above 5 stars I would.

This place is so cool! Felt like I stepped into the 50's! Staff is incredibly friendly and super helpful. It was quite busy when we got here but we got a seat no problem. Food came quickly and the portions were huge. They even have gluten free options!!! I was so excited to see that!! I got pancakes, something I've never been able to get at a restaurant as someone with a gluten intolerance! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a cute little diner experience.

OK so this place is my new and from now on ONLY place I will eat breakfast. Why? Bcuz 1-gluten free toast was the bomb, 2- scrambles with cheese melt in your mouth goodness, 3-homefries finally cooked just like I requested, extra crispy, 4- homemade cornbeef hash, I have no words for this goodness. Now for the young ladies who took care of us, they were the icing on the cake!!! Friendly, courteous, efficient, and I must say friendly one more time. Funny as hell our Gabby n Amber. Yea, I'm calling them out! Lol
