    Being a celiac and on vacation it was amazing to find a dedicated gluten free restaurant. Tasting the food though was an other worldly experience. Hands down the best meal I've had. Best gluten free bread by a country mile. Leaving to go back home was like when you have to leave your summer camp crush to go home knowing you may never see them again but you'll always remember them.

    One of the best brunch places I’ve been. I can’t wait to go back! I usually don’t like to eat at the same spot twice but I definitely would here! 10/10 recommendation the “Pretty in Pink” drink. You can get it cold or iced. The passion fruit - pineapple drink from the fridge was amazing!! Glad I got it. From the pastry cabinet I got the feta & leak pastry. Got it warmed up, amazing!! Cheese melted in your mouth the pasty wasn’t dried out. I also got a piece of the green giant toast, great flavors! For the main course I got the chicken avocado cream sandwich. It was good, a little dry. I added some sriracha on the side. Only thing I would say about that is it could be a little more creamy or have more of a sauce added to it.

    I know a lot people come here for GF goods but their coffee is great along with the Onyx beans they sell. I’m not even GF but cinnamon rolls and muffins are delicious, they also have organic salads. Atmosphere is great, lots of outdoor tables and normally a good breeze. Service is always good. Super dog friendly too!

    Came here off a recommendation by the owner himself. We were here on vacation and had eaten at Skidders the night before. Overall consensus: Best Breakfast Ever. We had carrot cupcake, 3 traditionals, avocado toast, chocolate pancakes, breakfast pizza, and coffee roasted from our hometown ONYX. We hit a gold mine last night at dinner that hasn’t stopped producing wonderful results.

    Good downtown vibes. Good people, great menu, fantastic atmosphere! Organic, vegan and gluten free options. We’ll be frequenting this spot.

    So so drinks and foods. Everything looks great on pictures but taste alright. Nothing to write home to mom about. The quiche was well seasoned but lack spinach for a spinach quiche. The Craft sandwich was stacking high with egg omelet but overcooked so it was so dry and super bland. The brioche bun was more like bread but buttery, which saved the dish. Matcha latte was ok. My husband said his espresso was good so if you come here, definitely get the coffee. Staff was super friendly which is why I gave 4 star instead of 3.

    Great location downtown with a lot of outdoor seating. Great place for people who have food allergies / restrictions. I got the chicken avocado cream sandwich and it was pretty tasty! The only disappointment was my iced vanilla latte. It wasn’t very good. We didn’t get dessert but they looked so good from the window inside.

    My absolute favorite breakfast/lunch spot in downtown St. Pete. I have celiac disease so finding a gluten free restaurant with tasty gluten free food can be difficult. Everything here is amazing. Their bread, omelette, sandwiches, and don’t forget their amazing desserts!! I love the outdoor seating and they’re very pup friendly!

    Thank you for the self serve water! There was a water bowl for dogs too. Ordering was outside with food coming out separate from my coffee order. Staff was helpful and friendly as were my fellow customers. I ordered an iced latte with almond milk that was good. For food I got one piece of avocado toast which was perfect. It included 1/2 a fresh avocado with sprouts, a touch of oil and a hint of lime. Really hit the spot after spending some time outdoors along the water. Fairly close to St. Pete’s Pier.

    Keep up the good work! My mom is gluten free for health reasons and she gets so excited to visit because she can come here everyday. Excellent food and coffee whether you are gluten free or not. Staff is always super friendly

    I’ve had so many cinnamon rolls in my life. Even in Copenhagen, Denmark..but thess gluten free cinnamon rolls are superior. Not too doughy..flakey and amazing. I wish they shipped lol

    Remains the best and my favorite.This place is exceptional. Fantastic food selection that is incredibly tasty. I travel the country and this is the best GF establishment I've tried. Comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, lots of good beverage options and very friendly staff. Can't recommend highly enough and going to start pleading with them to open in Charleston.

    Loved this cafe, visiting from out of town and ate there every day! They have a menu + 3 cases of different pastries that aren’t on the menu. Food Choices: Latté Cinnamon Roll 😋 favorite, to die for! Raspberry Hand Pie- amazing Bagel/egg sandwich (called traditional sandwich on menu)- least fav. Needs more flavor. Avocado toast with egg of choice on top- amazing! Prices were great and wonderful staff. Wish we had this in Seattle! FYI- my google maps said it was closed for some reason so I called and it was open! Don’t let maps fool you! Worth every penny!

    It was ok. I’m on a low carb diet, and they couldn’t tell me how many carbs were in the chicken avocado sandwich, so I opted for the chicken salad instead. It looked pretty on the outside, but inside it was all leaf lettuce and mostly ribs. The pretty I’m pink drink was good and I was able to order it without added sugar which was nice. Atmosphere here is food and the service was fast, but the food was just barely average.

    Absolutely wonderful experience. Went in for a business breakfast on a Wednesday morning. Got a wonderful iced oatmilk llate and a slice of breakfast pizza (veggie with egg, pictured). Delish!!!! The variety of food was fantastic and vegan/veg options are available. The quiche selection is excellent. The service was impeccable. Outdoor atmosphere was wonderful. Highly recommend. Parking is on-street and there is a garage nearby. It was not difficult to find a metered space. Plenty of seating indoors and out. Friendly staff.

    I've been here a few times, both for morning coffee and afternoon snack. The pastries are incredible. I have never had such delicious gluten-free pastries before, they are a MUST! A regular cup of coffee is excellent here, beautiful depth of flavor and low acidity. The downside has been the service, as multiple times now I have specifically said my order was "for here" so as to get it in plates and mugs, but the staff has given it to me in to-go cups and containers. Staff often seems uninterested and lacks graciousness, a little more attentiveness to the customer would make this café a 5-star spot.

  • 5/5 Fernando G. 2 years ago on Google
    Always delicious. It’s 100% gluten free, if that is of concern to you. Also lots of vegan options. Plenty of pour-over and tea options, but my go-to is the high octane Kyoto Drip.

  • 5/5 Imogen V. 7 months ago on Google
    Best gluten free pastries in all Tampa/Clearwater area. I have a wheat sensitivity and it’s hard to find good quality gluten free food. And even harder to find something that’s tastes good, and this place is really good at that. It’s really good. Plus the coffee is high quality, good espresso. Fully worth the trip or just checking out. Everything is made from rice flour they mill in house, which is a great bonus. ♥️

    What a relief it is to walk into this place, and know you can order any item from their menu without to worry about gluten or even cross contamination. Everything they have is gluten free, which is a huge help to accommodate for a person with celiac. The food was really good, and all the staff was nice, we enjoyed eating outside on the patio tables. I wish they were more places like this one.

    Pros: The staff was very friendly and service was great. I liked the interior vibe, outdoor seating and seating inside the beautiful building lobby. Cons: I had the egg, cheese, and chicken sausage sandwich with avocado spread on gluten free bread. The bread had a terrible after taste and strange structure. I had to throw it away.
