Centraal Grand Café & Tappery

Despite other reviews, I as a celiac felt safe eating here! I got the Brie Turkey Ciabatta - the bacon is pan fried and the bun can be toasted in a separate pan vs the griddle if you ask. I also got the blueberry tahini cheesecake (DIVINE) and the caramel espresso-tini (I will dream of it)

My waiter was super knowledgeable and willing to answer all my questions about cross-contact.

Food was good but safety was not. I ordered a burger and fruit off the gluten free menu and it came out with ale braised onions on it. I took one bit and all I could taste was beer. I called the server over and she agreed those were not supposed to go on the gluten free burgers. The manager apologized and took the burger off our bill and they remade my food.

The food was DELICIOUS!

THEY HAVE A SEPARATE GLUTEN FREE MENU. While, there is no separate fryer, there were some good options for my 7 year old. She loved her lunch.

It's a bit pricey, but we are happy to pay when we know our kid is going to be safe.

Everyone was nice and the inside is really cute. I would love to go back.

Nice place with a good amount of options for GF, vegan, and vegetarians. My sister got the black bean burger which was tasty. I got the salmon kimchi sandwich which was pretty good. They use Udi’s bread. We shared the tahini cheesecake for dessert which was amazing. Overall it was a nice spot and the waitress understood our dietary needs. Didn’t get sick!

As soon as I said celiac our waitress knew exactly what to do! The head chef prepared my meal separately, and they even put the GF portion of my husbands meal on a separate plate so I could snag a bite of his. Amazing service!

Separate menus with pretty good options. Given the number of taps available, it would be nice if they had a GF beer option. (they do have Greens in bottles).

Never been sick from the food here.

Highly recommend! Separate gluten free menu, our server was very knowledgeable about cross contamination, and she marked my allergy on my food was well as our shared appetizer. I ordered a black bean burger that was cooked in a separate pan instead of on the shared flat top and my bun had a flag in it to indicate it was gluten free. My food was delicious and I did not get sick.

I ordered directly off of the gluten free brunch menu, and when the waitress brought out my meal it had a slice of bread on it, sitting on top of half of the food on the plate. I asked her if it was gluten free bread (no bread was in the meal description on the menu) and she said no. I had to remind her that I had celiac disease and ordered off of the gluten free menu. She took the plate and told me she’d get me another and make sure it was gluten free this time. I had to wait an incredibly long time for them to remake my meal, and everyone else was done eating by the time it got to me. All that being said: I didn’t get sick from eating there.
