| - I went here for lunch with a colleague today. Overall it was a good meal, pretty standard breakfast/brunch/lunch fare, ok service. The location is great, right downtown and quick walk over from our workplace. The space itself is large and bright.
I would have given it three stars, except for one thing: they didn't have any buckwheat batter (for crepes) although their menu listed it. I went with someone who is avoiding gluten, and she was pretty bummed she couldn't have buckwheat crepes. That alone wasn't a huge deal, it happens, but what really irked us was when she told the waiter why she had wanted buckwheat crepes (avoiding gluten) and he asked "so normal flour has gluten in it?". Faceplant moment. When you have a special eating situation, you don't expect people to know everything about it, but you expect a waiter in a restaurant to at least have some basic knowledge about something that is becoming more and more gluten.
Rant aside, the food was good in an average sort of way. My colleague had a vegetarian omelette that looked tasty. I had a (non buckwheat) crepe with ham, asparagus and swiss. It was filling and priced similarly to what I expect from similar breakfast places.
