| - As I sit here in a sugar coma, I'm finding it hard to decide how many stars to give Spin. The waitress that we initially had sucked - didn't know much about gfree (told me none of the ice creams were gluten free and then actually checked to find only the ones with gluten add-ins (cookie crumbs, cookie dough, etc) were not gfree, and never brought us the water we asked for. After our water didn't come, my husband asked the manager who was doing something on the register if we could get water. The manager took over our table at that point and he was amazing, attentive, knowledgable about gfree and polite.
The main reason we decided to try spin was because unlike demetrie's, they have gluten free crepes and waffles. I had the waffle with pb ice cream, pb cups, banana pieces, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. I couldn't even finish half! It tasted great but do yourself a favour and share when you come here. Hubby got a waffle with salted caramel ice cream, almonds, rolo pieces, whipped cream and caramel sauce . Both were really good and the prices were pretty on par with what you see at other speciality dessert places. Gluten free was $1 extra and they used a dedicated waffle iron which was a huge plus in my books. You can never really clean a shared waffle iron to make sure there's no cross contamination.
So the not-so-great waitress deserved one star, but the manager and the food itself was definitely worth the 4 I decided on.
The place was pretty empty (three other tables occupied) but since they're pretty new, I'm sure their business will boom as more condos go up. The interior is beautifully decorated - I see lots of potential here.
Side note: they also sell speciality drinks and regular lunch/dinner foods.
