    Locally owned, locally ran. Very mom & pop diner feel- small restaurant team is extremely attentive and hardworking. You can tell they really care about your dining experience! Plentiful gluten free bakery options (6 pc assorted pastry box is $18). Really especially enjoyed the fresh Sourdough bread!

    Cute little spot to eat breakfast or lunch. If you have a gluten sensitivity or celiacs this is the place for you. GF bread was soft with a great texture. We bought a ton of goodies for a great price. If you don’t have any issues with gluten the place is still great to eat at. We will return.

    This restaurant is such a gem!!! If you are local to New Orleans or are visiting and are gluten free this is a must visit!! The atmosphere is so cute and eclectic, the staff is incredibly friendly, kind and so helpful. It’s only a short drive from the convention center area and is locally owned. The food was delicious and the bakery items are unbelievable. Can’t recommend them enough!!
