Shrimp po’boy and chocolate chip pancakes are delicious! Generous portions. I am not gluten-free and just decided to try this place out. Very happy I did! Some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. The pancakes are probably a better deal than the shrimp sandwich but both were good amounts of food excited to come back and try more items on the menu.

I was tempted to give it 4 stars just because it’s takeout-only but I won’t, because everything else was so great! I ended up ordering through Grubhub since there’s no dine-in option, and it would’ve been a waste to bring it back to my hotel. That said, as someone with celiac, it’s incredible to be able to order anything off the menu without worry. The variety is amazing so many tempting options, it was hard to pick just one meal, drink, and treat. I went with the gyro lunch, the signature popover (I’ve been craving a croissant and have been on a state-to-state hunt!), and the ginger juice, which was pure ginger with no added sweetness. Everything was excellent

Gluten Free safe haven in Chicago! Entire menu is gluten free with very clear options for dairy free. Everything is full of flavor and many options to also purchase frozen gluten free bakery/bread in addition to enjoying it fresh off the menu. It’s definitely a “tastes too good to be gluten free” location, and as a celiac I’ve never had any issues.

We ordered 3 things and they were all incredible. We had the Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes, Blueberry Belgian Waffle, and the Cheddar Biscuit and Gravy. My boyfriend’s favorite was the Biscuit and Gravy. Mine was the Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes. We would definitely eat here again to try even more of the goodies.

(tldr at the end) About a week ago, I ordered several items to try, with mixed results.
In descending order from best to worst:
The falafel? So good. The bread was so nice and chewy, and the falafel pieces themselves were almost perfect. Could have been fried just a bit longer, but so good. It came with fries, and they were nice and crispy (so rare to get with a wheat allergy). This was my favorite item. 4.75/5
Second, the lemon poppy seed pancakes: a nice big serving size, and the lemon glaze added a lot. However, and this is on me for not understanding from the description, but the pancakes themselves did not taste of lemon at all. There was supposed to be lemon zest on top, but I only tasted the lemon when I used the glaze. Still, very good. Almost perfect if the pancakes themselves had tasted more like lemon. 4.25/5
The pop over: Good with the honey butter, nothing special without it. Still nice and chewy/soft inside, but I wouldn’t describe it as “custard-like.” I ate it with some jam and the honey butter, and it still tasted really good, just might not order it again. 4/5
Blueberry muffin: A good muffin, but not what I was craving. I was hoping for one of those large blueberry muffins you can buy just about anywhere, but gluten free, and it was more the consistency of a cake doughnut. Perfectly fine, just not what I wanted. 3.5/5
Finally, the blueberry bagel: I didn’t see anywhere that the bagel would be a bagel thin, but it was. It almost appeared to be the kind from the store. And it was Hard. Not crunchy, but vaguely chewy. Unpleasant and almost impossible to eat. I tried a few bites and heated it up to see if that would help, and it didn’t. 0/5
Overall, everything would have been better fresh, but as it’s all pickup or delivery, I’m not sure how that would work. I may see if there’s a nearby park and eat it there next time.
TLDR: Falafel could have been cooked longer, still 4.75/5; pancakes not lemony enough, 4.25/5; pop over was not great, but it was good 4/5; muffin was fine, just cakey 3.5/5; blueberry bagel was actually a thin, super hard and bad chewy 0/5. Everything would have been better Fresh; will try new things next time.

This is the most delicious food. I can’t remember the last time I had a gyro. The gluten free pita is spectacular. The chicken was seasoned to perfection. We also tried the old world panini with side of soup. It was incredible. Thank you!!! I haven’t even tried the deserts yet but I’m so excited to!

I JUST now understood why the restaurant is named what it is name and why the food was how it was.
I am not gluten free so I was all the way turned off from the cinnamon roll u ordered… just dry as hell. Could’ve used rice or oat flour or something to soften that up. The vegetable and egg skillet I ordered though was really good. Great portion and flavor.
No seating/ dining in.

This has been on my list for a while. I was excited to try the completely GF menu! I ordered the Hot Chicken and Waffles for the ultimate meal of things-I-can’t-usually-eat.
Because there is no dine-in, I had to bring the food to a nearby park to enjoy. I’m not sure if it got cold or what but I felt the crispy chicken could have been crispier. The packaging situation maybe could be improved to retain the food quality better, as no one is eating on site. I appreciate the waffles came with syrup and ultimately I took them home and reheated it in the airfryer.
Coffee was excellent!! I had a cute latte and enjoyed until the last drop.
Great energy in the cafe and still happy it exists.

Everything was great! We got the Reuben and Veggie panini sandwiches, a turnover, along with some sweets: blueberry muffin, chocolate donut, and cinnamon roll. I absolutely loved the Rueben. Would have tried everything on the menu but we only had 1 day to get food here. Highly recommend this place to anyone and especially for celiacs.

Wonderful gluten free brunch! Went around 9 am on the weekend and had about a 15 min wait. The restaurant is on the smaller size, but didn’t feel cramped at all. Loved the decor and the feel of the place. Our group tried the cinnamon roll, biscuit and sausage gravy, Belgian waffle, and a few other things. I was blow away by how delicious all the food was! As someone with celiac, it was so nice to not worry about getting sick from any of the food we tried! If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity – definitely check this place out!
