Luci's at the Grove

Luci's at the Grove isn’t a dedicated gluten-free spot, but it does make celiac diners feel seen with a clearly marked menu and plenty of tempting options—think pancakes, French toast, and pastries you wouldn’t expect at most cafes. The real comfort comes from staff who understand gluten sensitivity firsthand (one cashier is celiac herself), and who take the time to talk through your order. Still, with a shared kitchen and no formal cross-contamination protocols detailed, there’s always that little worry in the back of your mind. If you’re craving a classic brunch with a side of reassurance, this is one of those rare places where being heard feels almost as good as the food tastes—just remember to ask lots of questions if you’re extra sensitive.
