Always a great experience dining at Paperback. The staff is so kind and accommodating and the service is quick…plus they have delicious food, catering to various allergies. Love the gluten free pancakes!

My favorite Brunch destination! They have EVERYTHING! Bring your appetite because you will need it. It is like having breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert all in one place. An example of my first plate was Prime rib, Ham, stuffed duck, tortellini, vegetables. My daughter who has ciliac came back with a gluten-free waffle! I was shocked! We all took 1 bite of it and headed over to get our own! There was a bourbon maple syrup to drench it as well as many fruits and chocolate chips...you name it. If you want an omelette they have a station that has everything. You want cheeses and cured meats they have it. Salmon and bagels and shrimp cocktail! I had wanted to take my kids there many years ago and insisted we had to go on my birthday this year. My adult children were beside themselves. They could not believe the food choices and the quality and frankly the price per person is reasonable. They have something for everyone!

Best Gluten Free Pizza in town, by far, tastes like the real thing. Great service.

Service & food was very good! Didn't wait long to be seated even though Pantheon Diner was busy. Got coffee in an old timey cup & saucer instead of a mug. That was a surprise. Must have been right at 8 ounces because I usually take 3 creamers & 3 sweeteners but only two of each fit. As a coffee drinker it matters but that's ok cause refill is a coming. Um, coffee is not strong. A bit on the watered down side to me but could be just me. Price a little more than expected ($$) but New England, I'm learning, is like that. (Moved from Vegas so if you've been, you know full breakfasts or buffets can be VERY inexpensive). I ordered their 3 egg cheese omelet which included home potatoes & toast. I asked for gluten free toast which was very good. Potatoes were oh so tasty! I love spuds & broke my keto diet to eat them,...I'm bad. NOW, the omelet. Needed 1: something else other than onion, perhaps bell pepper, or seasoning? Or option thereof. and 2: the cheese, I believe was (gag) 'American' cheese OR (not so gag) less quality Monterey Jack cheese. The cheese was flavorless and looked like melted white plastic goo. It was still palatable because eggs were tasty but the cheese didn't enhance the flavor at all and probably could have been left out. Another quirk was my husband ask for sourdough bread toast instead of their regular toast. 75 cents extra for sourdough toast?? Other places either don't charge extra or that much! Seriously? Seemed odd to us especially since my hubby barely could taste it was sourdough. Almost wonder what the other toast is. Darn, I forgot to ask him if they charged that for my gluten free. But the home potatoes made it! So good even my hubby said we'd go back for the potatoes lol The servers were very nice and attentive. The food didn't take long to arrive at all. I like the old timey ambience in diners. They feel like the world use to feel like. Warm, familiar, safe with something good coming your way. Go to Pantheon, just ask about the cheese & toast options first, lol. Written by Steve's wife, Fatima Perry

We had a member of our party who is strictly gluten free. The staff was incredibly accommodating, made sure our items were gluten free. A great dining experience and will be repeat customers. Highly recommended!

Really impressed with the quality of treats and service. It would be really cool if they had a gluten-free section where they highlighted and made very clear. What’s gluten-free and what’s not and if they don’t have any, it’ll be really cool if they can make some I didn’t see any when I was in there. Lots of great stuff for people that eat gluten ended up getting a friend of mine a lot of pastries she loves the place.

Had a wonderful time and great coffee. Had one of the breakfast sandwiches and a gluten free banana bread.

Lovely little spot. Delicious food and friendly staff. Upon sitting down we got a bowl of garlic knots. Upon recommendation of our waitress I chose the avocado Caprese salad and hubby got linguine with white clam sauce. We ate every bite. They also offer gluten free pizza and pasta!! Next time trying the pizza. Looked delicious.

Absolutely loved this place! My brother and his family took us and we had an absolute blast! If you have kids try to sit upstairs because there are model trains that run back and forth across the restaurant. We got to sit right next to them and our kids had fun watching them and following them around. The staff was helpful and friendly, and we got our food quickly. I am lactose intolerant so pizza is usually cheese-less at restaurants, but I was surprised and pleased to find out when asked that they have vegan cheese! It was delicious too! They also had dairy and gluten free dessert options. All in all we may have to make this a staple every time we're in town. Side note- their vegan cheese pizza reheats really well too!

My coworkers and I visit Sip frequently and have a lovely time each time we go! The wine is amazing and the cheese options even better (though I admittedly love cheese above all else). The staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions. The owner, Derrick, is always interesting in hearing what we think or offering selection suggestions. I usually go for a flight which consists of three 2oz pours...I pick two and then ask for a recommendation for the third. Nine times out of ten his recommendation is my favorite (and it's the second favorite for that last time). Whether you are a wine connoisseur or just dipping a toe into the world of wines, Sip Wine Bar is the place to go. And if you like horseradish, I highly recommend you get the horseradish-cheddar spread as your side for the charcuterie board, you will not be disappointed. Oh! And they offer gluten-free crackers and are very aware of cross-contamination. Huge win as someone in my crew has celiac.

A great selection of Myrcene-brewed beers and also cider, hard seltzer, and wine for the gluten-free and non-beer drinkers. Great staff and a large space! They host frequent events so there is always something going on. Follow the signs to find it in the same building as the CrossFit gym.
