★★★★☆ 4.0 Dirty Souf Yankee · Oct 2025

Was so excited to find this place! Everything sounded delicious, but I ended up going with the breakfast crepe and the pumpkin gnocchi. I also got a peppermint bark brownie. The gnocchi was yummy! Very rich. The breakfast crepe was okay to me, it was a weird flavor mashup with the sweet crepe and the chimichurri sauce and sausage... It wasn't necessarily my favorite but it was still good. I loved the brownie! Something I had also gave me a bit of acid reflux, not sure what exactly. But I would definitely come back to try other things. It's so hard to find good, dedicated gluten-free places!

Finding an entirely gluten free spot sounded too good to be true, and the food was too! As someone with Celiac, having options at restaurants is always important to me, and not only did I have so many options, but I did not have to worry about cross contamination. I got an iced latte, scone, and breakfast crepe and everything was delicious! They do not skimp on portions - the scone was huge and the crepe was the size of a large burrito. The prices were also very reasonable, especially as gluten free products tend to have a large up-charge. The service was incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient. The atmosphere was very welcoming - it was the perfect spot to go on a brunch date or catch up with friends over coffee. I will definitely be returning!!

Such a relaxing, positive place to have some coffee or tea and a bite to eat. I had a maple waffle latte which was delicious! Not overly sweet and just enough. Also had rainbow cookies which I was surprised to find out were gluten free! The best I’ve had! Person working there was informative and personable and was actually a high school student. Another positive for me was that my coffee was not blazing hot. So, if you like very hot coffee I’d ask for it to be warmer. As you can see from the photos, the atmosphere is great, too. Some nights have live music and things that I will be checking out!

Ordered a vegan cake in vanilla and chocolate flavor, and it was perfect. The customer service really stood out. Jules was amazing and helped take my order exactly how I wanted it, all in less than 24 hours. That meant a lot to me. When I walked into the bakery, it felt cozy and welcoming with lovely decorations. They also offer dairy-free items, which is great, and their breakfast menu looks really nice too. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Had to seat myself, serve myself water. Young lady had the sack to tell us we should have made a reservation. Then I was served 2 of the worst cappuccinos I’ve ever seen in my life. The Morris county jail commissary offers packets of instant cappuccino at .70 cents a packet that are better than this. Utensils which I had to ask for were dirty. The food was disgusting. They served the person I came with and told me my waffle would be right out. I had seen a review which stated the best waffle they had ever had in their life so I was patient. 20 minutes later I was told the waffle machine just broke. I had already paid for my food before I sat. Strange was for a pastry shop to moonlight as a restaurant but hey. I went with the pancakes. The rawest doughiest mush showed up another ten minutes
