gluten free crepes! oooh lala. went here a couple weeks ago to try the new gluten free buckwheat crepes. usually when i used to eat here i would get the benedict, but since they only way to get that gf is to forgo the waffle, i chose the crepe. after trying to choose just one crepe i picked the smoked turkey and cheese with eggs. of course i always add on for organic eggs. the crepe was huge and stuffed full. i was skeptical of the dark crepe, i'm not a huge fan of buckwheat, but this was thin and light. you can still taste the buckwheat but it's not strong, it's faint. the hempler's turkey was thin and lightly smoked, the cheese was just enough. in fact, it was so filling i had to take about 1/3 of it home with me to eat later.
my husband ordered the hempler's ham benedict, which was a big, tasty plate of food as always. i just tried to avert my eyes while he ate since ilovethose benedicts. he said all of it was great.

"gluten-free" menu. ha. i like this place (see my old reviews) but since recently crossing over to a gluten free diet i've been limited to a handful of places to eat out. mt.bakery proudly claims they have a gluten free menu, but what it is simply the same menu, with each item that is usually served with a wheat product such as bread, but they remove it. so you are getting less for the same price and they call it gluten free. it's disappointing but i realize there is a resistance to this diet in restaurants. it would be nice if this place and others would take a more proactive approach and offer something to replace the bread when it's subtracted from the dish. or get more creative and make some new dishes so we can still give you our money for your delicious food.

yum. i think this place is usually great. since they expanded the dining area it has been more comfortable and i really like the outdoor seating in the warm season. the baked goods are absolutely delicious and i cannot stop staring at the glass case every time i am in there.
besides this they have coffee set up as self-serve which is convienent when they get busy. the only thing missing is some splenda, i only see the pink stuff here and i don't eat that. but i try not to use sugar either.
the crepes are beautiful and yummy. i like to order the veggie benedict which comes on top of a savory waffle and they put a large portobella mushroom on it with an egg. so good. they have roasted potatoes as well, a soup of the day and a quiche of the day. there are option for every one and the prices are reasonable. you aren't going to get these huge sloppy portions that you get at a greasy spoon, but they give you plenty enough to leave satisfied.
i wish they didn't allow the music on the busy mornings though cause they take up too much space where diners could eat. also whenever i order the shirred eggs (baked) they are never made the way i order them, always overdone or underdone.
this place is worth checking out for breakfast at the very least!
