Can not attest to cross contamination or cooking areas, but they do offer gluten free and cauliflower crust for pizza. Other gluten free options appear very limited. The person we spoke to said no options for fluten free. I discovered options were available after we left. The place was super cute and laid back for a baby shower. Everyone else raved about the food.

Cozy little place in Crystal Lake. First time going there and I'll definitely be going back. I had a pumpkin chai tea that was very tasty and a gluten free oatmeal creme sandwich. There were many gluten free options which is rare for coffee shops!

I Ordered a breakfast quesadilla which was delicious! A little under $13. I wanted to try their gluten-free waffle. I asked for just one waffle with nothing on it. The charge for that simple plain waffle was a little under $16. A coffee is $4.75 and iced tea as well. The server took forever to take our order and only did so because I had to get his attention to come to our table. Though my quesadilla was pretty good, I will not be back because I would not be able to afford it! Prices are ridiculous! I forgot to mention that a regular waffle was a little over five dollars but gluten-free $16. The bill for just my order was a little over $41!

Top notch breakfast/ brunch / lunch place! They have options for everyone! The service was great! They had a parking lot so it was easy to just park and walk in. The place is fairly large but I can see it getting busy on weekends. We got there at 130 on a Sunday and there wasn’t a wait, and they were closing soon but they didn’t rush us at all! The food was really good and I’m so happy we tried it and they had gluten free options!

Very good brisket, almost everything is gluten free or can be, except for the corn bread and Mac n cheese. Staff friendly, and helpful with making a choice. I thought the price was excellent for what you were getting.

Rough start. Had to request service after waiting for about 15 mins without service. I believe our servers name was Taylor. She was outstanding. My daughter is gluten intolerant and she took special care of her requests. She recommended the crusted sea bass to me and it was excellent. Overall it was great experience. Always are favorite place to eat.

Great food, I reserved our seats, it's a smaller size restaurant. Service was great, the waitress seemed to know the menu. They gave a gluten free menu. The carrot soup was the soup of the day, and was excellent. Everything tasted great.

This is our go-to place for gluten-free pizza. As opposed to another popular nearby pizza place, the crust is actually fully baked. The GF crust is decent. Not as good as real crust, but better than others in the area. As with any GF pizza, I’d recommend eating it all the first night, as it’s never as good reheated.
