The Trails Eatery

Food Network Star finalist Stacey Poon-Kinney owns this cozy neighborhood restaurant where gluten-free diners can rest assured food is delicious and safe to eat. The kitchen here has a dedicated gluten-free prep area and friendly servers are well-trained to attend to diners' dietary needs. The restaurant offers a full, extensive gluten-free menu with delicious breakfast and lunch entrees. We especially love breakfasts here. They get busy on weekend mornings, but grab a free mug of coffee outside while you wait for a table. Try the "Sin"-namon Roll Pancakes and you'll be smitten: fluffy and covered in swirl icing- so yummy and decadent. The Benedicts are also crowdpleasers––portions are nice and so is the price!
