Great place for breakfast! They have a great variety of choices and are very accommodating to food restrictions. I got French toast with butter and a latte without worrying about the dairy in it! It tasted amazing as well. I will be coming back here for sure.Dietary restrictions: Keto, dairy free, they are very flexable.

Sweet potato fries perfected, lovely vegan dipping sauces. The bbq has a lovely contrast of tang and sweetness.The vegan Belgian style waffle is delicious and had a soft texture I loved. The vegan butter and maple syrup complimented the waffle wonderfully and the amount given was perfect.The magical mocha was my drink of choice, nice mocha that isn't overpowering or too chocolatey.If you're gluten-free, vegan, or just like amazing food, Cole's Bakery & Caf'e is worth it, just know that they've had to increase prices due to the rise in food costs.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options are aplenty.

My husband and I love Cole’s and so to have them bake for our wedding was a no-brainer.Cole’s made the 3-tier cake for our wedding and the sheet cakes, and they were AMAZING! I had guests asking if it was really gluten and dairy free. So delicious and of course, safe for me to eat! I highly recommend Cole’s for all of your wedding cake needs.

It's been a long time since we last visited Cole's bakery as we live far away. My wife made an online order through her phone and it was ready for us to pick up an hour later.We stopped in for the order then ordered two more yummy cheesecakes to eat at their bakery. It was worth the drive!.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free. They also have a dairy free and keto selection.

Staff was very kind and fast. The vegan dirty fries were amazing. The vegan pulled pork burger tasted a little too meaty for me and I was afraid it was actually real meat and they got my order wrong so my husband ate it for me 😂 The vegan pancakes were delicious. The vegan macaroni was okay, but I'm sure it would have tasted better if I wouldn't have taken it to go. Overall, great restaurant and good food. They have SO many vegan options that it was hard to narrow down what to order. It was cool that they had options for me at eaters, vegans, and everybody in between. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be returning for more of those jackfruit dirty fries 🍟Vegetarian options: There seems to be just as many vegan and vegetarian options as there are meat options. I was happily surprised.Dietary restrictions: They cater to so many restrictionsI saw keto options and so many more, especially in the bakery section.Parking: Lots of free parkingKid-friendliness: My kids had a blast here. They have a kids menu and they have booster seats and high chairs.

Cole’s Bakery and Cafe has the makings of a wonderful restaurant. A gluten free, dairy free, vegan option bakery and restaurant is in high demand for the area. We have tried Cole’s on three separate occasions all three dine in. Two previous experiences were okay. Service was slow and inconsistent but the food was enjoyable. We came in today for breakfast, about three other small families were also dining in. The dining area was a mess, all tables not in use were sitting filled with old food, chairs hanging out in the aisles, etc. We waited about ten minutes to be seated, and an additional ten minutes without being met by staff before we decided to leave for a different breakfast place (competitors restaurant was three times as busy but we were still able to be seated quickly and served quickly and enjoy delicious gluten free food). With proper staffing I imagine this place is wonderful, but when paying for service and food we would like to enjoy the entire experience. I do not believe we will be back again.

I ordered the keto burger and keto chicken strips. The burger hit the spot. I've been wanting a good burger since I started this gluten free/keto restrictions diet. The chicken strips weren't as good. Out of 4 strips only 1 was good. The other 3 were VERY dry and not at all worth the money spent. So I basically spent 15 bucks for 1 strip.

Specialty bakery, extra points for catering to people with different food allergies. Service can be improved though. One coffee arrived cold to the table (never seen that before on any coffee). Impressive long menu with many options. It felt as if they needed more staff or more action from existing staff. Update: I visited again and they are making an effort to increase staffing. Still doesn't do the trick for me. It's one of those places where you would like to give a great review but I can't if I'm being honest.Dietary restrictions: Not certified celiac but mostly gluten free in genera. May also accommodate other food allergies

We’ve been coming here for a few years now. It’s a great little diner, that serves great food, Vegan, Gluten free, or just plain healthier options. I came in with the wife and kids thinking it would be a healthier choice, but not very tasty (so I was not excited!) I left with a different perspective altogether. The staff was friendly, menu was good, and the food was great! I would certainly recommend trying them out!!!

Sadly, I had better expectations of this place, which was recommended by the Starbucks barista. It dis not live up to the hype. The chai oatmeal maple cookie was basically a granola bar shaped like a circle for $4.75. Too hard and dry. Very disappointed after the employee spoke so highly of the flavor combination. 😕The chocolate chip cookie was thin and crunchy, not worth the $4.75 I paid for it. I am not holding my breath that the pumpkin cheesecake will be any better. Check out pic.

Update update: I’ve been going through much testing and while I still should avoid gluten, I should be completely and honest and say my doctor doesn’t think is a complete allergy as much as she did before. I have many ongoing health factors that are directly affected by what I put in my body. This has no affect on my review of this shop, I still love it to bits!Update: This is a breakfast sandwich I made with their cheddar biscuits! It’s so good, the bread keeps its shape and it’s got sooo much flavor! I’m obsessed and it is worth every penny!The best grilled cheese I have EVER had! (Gluten or gluten free, it was the best) they were so eager to help me learn about gluten free foods as well as assured me that my new gluten-free life was going to get better from here on out. It was so needed after everything I’ve been struggling with.They offer take home goods that have no preservatives and all the good stuff. I don’t feel any of the normal dread I feel when buying the big-brand “gluten free” products.Thank you for being so helpful guys! I will be a regular!!

So yummy. :)We had great service from Colby and Laila! :)They had so many options that looked delicious so we will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

I was so excited to find this place as my daughter and I both have Celiac. The food was ok, sadly everything I’d expect from gluten free food and nothing I’d rave about. The price was ridiculously high. $17.50 for 3 pancakes, $17.50 for nachos. $12.50 for one breakfast sandwich. No sides came with any of the meals. I know gluten free is expensive but this was ridiculous.

Gotta really love a place where you can eat nearly everything on the menu and it is all delicious. My biggest complaint is that it is hard to choose what to order, and I am so tempted by all the treats. The cinnamon rolls are particularly delicious. Service is great and there is outdoor seating as well.

We ordered the Philly and the chicken strips, both dishes were tasteless and over priced! When the waitress asked about our food we mentioned the lack of flavor she removed the chicken strips to go discuss with the owner. At this time we decided to just and pay and leave. Rather than offer a discount the owner could be heard telling the waitress to just offer us a grilled cheese instead. The fries were bad, the Philly was bad and the chicken strips were horrible, I didn’t need to waste any time trying anything else. $42 wasted.

This was such a cute place! So excited that they have Keto options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also had an assortment of keto treats (which I took home almost one of everything) and drinks. I also ordered chicken tenders with ranch and the slaw. Both delish. I tasted each dessert and most were pretty good. They’re a little pricey, but that’s the price you pay for convenience and variety! I was really glad I came in here and would probably stop in again. Still waiting to try those cheddar biscuits!

Excellent place to eat if you have celiac disease or require dairy free options. This location is very clean and the food is excellent. The service is great. My only complaint would be the price. It is not a place the average person could always afford.

This place is great and the only one like it around here. Everything is gluten free and there are lots of dairy free options as well. I got the dairy free grilled cheese with turkey and it was delicious, the turkey was moist and seasoned, the fries were fresh and seasoned perfectly as well and the ranch which is dairy free and vegan is the best you wouldn't even know it. This pic is my leftovers it looked even better fresh. I will definitely be back!

The prices here for what you get are actual insanity. I just paid more than $17 before tip for one single Belgian waffle. Nothing added to it, just a waffle. I stopped coming here a while back because the prices were high, but now they actually have a notice on their menu saying they are charging $2-$4 more than the marked menu price for all items. I wish I had just walked out and gone somewhere else for food. Just shut this place down already if you're robbing what customers you still have blind.Since I can't respond to the response you just left, let me edit by saying that I do actually have to eat gluten free, which is how I know $17+ for one single waffle is a complete and total rip off. Believe me I will be dining elsewhere, but not for my lack of understanding the cost of the food I buy and eat every day.

I paid 22$ for this meal and I got 1 sauce for the amount of food should at least get 2 I also didn’t get a lemon for my fish I also didn’t like how the girl in training rolled her eyes at me when I asked about the rewards system if they still had it. I also wanted 30 min to get my food with nowhere to sit. It used to be a lot better than this but I wish it was a better experience.

It's a great gluten friendly restaurant. They have great breakfast and lunch items, with the exception of their salads. Salads are over-priced for very little. Overall, the food is a little on the expensive side even though it's gluten friendly but sometimes a gluten free cinnamon bun is worth the price.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and dairy free selections.

I have many random allergies and the employees ALWAYS listen to everyone and help me find something I can order. One of the only places I can eat out at and they are so delicious! It is a bit pricey but if you have to eat gluten/dairy free then you know that this kind of food is always a bit more expensive. Highly recommend!!

This place is AMAZING! I have celiac and always struggle to find good gf options when visiting family in the area. The food is delicious and they have so many unique options you'd never be able to find anywhere else. AND they have a drive through which makes ordering on a road trip easy. Definitely coming back!EDIT: Came back again and was stoked to see they have a square online site with an easy pickup option!

I LOVED this place. I had great customer service and I got my food out within 10 minutes of ordering it. The food was absolutely delicious and I was so happy to have French toast again. Also the coffee was super good too!! I will definitely be back here - totally worth the 30 minute drive.

This place is great! The gluten free bread is yummy! Carrot soup 🍜 🥕 was yummy. I’m looking forward to going back. The cafe is divided into three sections.. if you need to study you will definitely find a good spot to get work done.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago, and this is hands down the best food I've eaten ever since. The mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and fish and chips are so wonderful - I would give them more stars if I could! The atmosphere was also great, and the service was super friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is gluten free, dairy free, keto, or otherwise dealing with dietary restrictions.

2nd visit edit****Food was amazing! Ordered a breakfast sandwhich with added avocado. As you can see in the pictures came with generous serving of avacodo/guacamole. It was seasoned perfect and cant beat the house baked bread/biscuit. Everything I would hope for from a bakery with breakfast options. Drink was great as well, one of the better vanilla lattes I have had in awhile. Will have to challenge them with a matcha tea next time. If you ever happen to meet the owner she is extremely personable. Im sure she will be able to work out any minor obstacles and reach her goal to become a franchise soon. Looking forward to coming back with family and friends.***** edit**** the owner of this restaurant really cares about her restaurant. She went above and beyond to reach out to me and try to right my experience. I look forward to trying the restaurant again.1 star experience-Drinks were good but we didnt recieve all of them. Waited over 1 hour to get luke warm food that was over priced. It wasnt very busy either.when we advised we had over an hour for our food the cashier didnt seem to care and also did not provide a reciept. Wish we had left before the food arrived.
