A Wild-ly good meal

Photos/GFGardenState: French Toast with Cinnamon Butter

I have a new favorite breakfast joint.

The Wildflour Bakery/Cafe on Main Street (aka Route 206) in Lawrenceville is a 100% gluten-free dining spot. It's also incredibly unique, both in atmosphere and menu.

Housed in the former Lawrenceville Inn, the cafe looks and feels like you're in someone's home. It has intimate dining areas for serving breakfast and lunch.

Scrambled Eggs and Toast

We were in the area, looking for a place to grab a bite, when we came upon Wildflour. Our Sunday brunch  for two included a cheese Danish, thick French Toast topped with cinnamon butter, and scrambled eggs with toast and chipotle aioli. The entrees both came with fresh fruit on the side.


We made our way into the bakery's retail area to pay our check and ended up purchasing a Nutella Danish and a couple of sugar cookies. They also sell breads, tarts and other desserts, as well as made-to-order cakes and pies.

Did I mention that EVERYTHING is gluten-free?!

According to Wildflour's website, owner/operator Marilyn Besner opened her business after seeing a need for freshly-made gluten-free foods. And, boy, does she fill that need well.

Cheese Danish

Admittedly, the breakfast and lunch menus won't appeal to everyone. It's filled with vegetarian dishes, as well as some vegan options. Kale appears in several places on the menu, alongside items such as potato and spinach crepes with cilantro mint chutney.

I enjoyed it especially because of the unique dishes, which appealed to my crunchy side. My dining companion has a less-adventurous palate, and was disappointed in his meal, mainly due to the lack of breakfast meats.We agreed, however, that the Danish and other foods we tried were delicious.

The meal also was reasonably priced, and served by a friendly, competent staff. Our server openly admitted it was her first day on the job, but we never would have noticed.
