We tried out Cafe 8 for lunch. I do not give 5-stars lightly but Cafe 8 nailed it. I like to eat gluten-free and heard that pretty much everything on their menu is gluten-free (they also have several "raw" options to try). I had the mediterranean combo appetizer. Now, I LOVE mediterranean food. These were the best dolmades that I have ever had...including in Greece. The hummus and tzaziki were outstanding. And the presentation was first rate. My husband had a pear and gorgonzola salad that was delectable. Not sure what the dressing was but it was very light and flavorful.
The gluten-free dessert case gave us a challenge: which amazing looking item to choose to try. After a very satisfying meal, we could really only try one. We chose the delicious-looking triple-layer carrot cake. Wow! ridiculously good. No clue by taste that it was gluten-free. I would go back again for just the desserts. I imagine the other items are equally delicious.
At one point the pastry chef (owner?) came out and chatted with us for a bit, explaining her passion for cooking and some of her cooking philosophies. Our server was great and prices were very reasonable. We will definitely return.
