Food was just ok. I ordered a bowl of oatmeal for $8 which came with water sitting on top, had no flavor and the bowl was half full. I had to go to the counter to ask for butter. My fiancée ordered the Deep South bowl. Since the potatoes were not available we asked if we could get biscuits instead which we were charged $4 more. The biscuits were extremely dry, hard, and had very little flavor. We ordered one $5 pancake which was smaller than a dessert plate. Way over priced for the food we got.
The bathroom is located in the dining with a table positioned right next to the bathroom. Tables should not be positioned right by the bathroom, the table should be moved over to next to the window.

I saw on line this place had baked goods. Google directions sent me to the back of the building. We thought we were in the wrong place by the look of it so we went around and found the front of the building. The restaurant has very limited parking and has stairs to climb in the front. So if you have trouble with stairs go around to the back and park ( there are no stairs back there). There is not a sign on the door ( that I noticed) so just walk in. When you get in there it splits so you have to figure out which way to go because there is no one to greet you. To your right in the back is where the bake goods are. I bought a apple fritter for my husband and he said it was good. It was the smallest apple fritter I've seen but if you were going to eat breakfast there then have something it would be perfect. My maple cinnamon roll was a little dry but had a good flavor. I like it when a place uses a house for a restaurant. It looked cute inside.

We stopped by to get a couple of pastries and a latte. We weren’t sure what to expect as we’d never been here before, but it was actually a really nice little place with lots of gluten free desserts. I bought a blueberry muffin, and my wife bought a cupcake and a latte. We will likely come back the next time we’re in the area.

I have celiac and I was SO happy to be able to order literally anything on the menu. AND it was all delicious. I drove to Waynesboro from Harrisonburg to eat it and now they've opened one in Harrisonburg and I couldn't be happier!!!

I cannot reccomend this place enough! As a person with celiac, I've learned to not trust "gluten free" menu options as so many have gluten items cooked in the same oven, fryers, etc, but when I inquired I was proudly told that "gluten is not allowed through the door!". And MAN was the food amazing! I had the French toast Frisco, the bread texture was AMAZING, taste was immaculate, and it was overall one of the best gluten free sandwiches I've ever had. The hibiscus lemonade is perfect- not overly sweet and very refreshing. My partner had the smores pancakes and they were so delicious and fluffy! We got loads of baked goods to go (very afforably, especially for gluten free baked goods!) and will be telling all of our friends/family to stop by if they are in the area. I hear they also have a new store in Harrisonburg as well. I wish they were closer to us but we will definately be back!

This place was beyond amazing in terms of their food. Everything is celiac safe. "No gluten allowed through the door". I was able to take me and my wife(celiac) and sit down to an amazing meal. Would highly recommend and plan on visiting this place everytime we come back as we live 4 hours away.

We had a large order this morning and it was our first time here! We really enjoyed our food! Everything was great and we will buy some snacks for the road back to NC. If you live here, you are lucky to have this place ❤️

Very expensive, my friend and I got pancakes and was charged extra for a tiny cup of syrup. Coffee was awful, and we had to bus our own table and they expected a tip.
$4 for 1 cupcake.
Never going back

The food, the staff, and the atmosphere here are all top notch!

I'm not on a gluten free diet. I'm not even sensitive to gluten. But I still go here regularly because the food is so good. The deserts and pastries are excellent. Their pepperoni rolls are absolutely delicious!

The biscuits and gravy? Let me tell you... it's some of the best around. The gravy is nice and peppery, creamy to the palette, and has nice chunks of tasty sausage mixed in. The biscuits are fluffy and buttery and have nothing about them that would suggest they're gluten free.

If you want a quick snack, tasty breakfast, or good lunch, try Crack O Dawn. It's worth a stop!

First time dining here and it did not disappoint! We ordered the southwest sausage bowl and it was delicious! Not too spicy and more than enough!! We also ordered a build your own bowl and had sausage gravy put on top! A great option and the gravy reminded me of what my Nannie used to make! Oh, and the hibiscus lemonade is wonderful and so refreshing!! If you are in the area this little gem is a must!! We will definitely be back!!

Got buscuits and gravy and cinnamon roll pancakes. Genuinely no seasoning was used in the gravy and the buscuit was mealy. Pancake was little burnt but tasted good. Also how do you run out of iced coffee???
