    Classic Chicken & Waffles
    Demeka F.

    I'm so glad my boyfriend found this place recommended only. Anytime I can find a gluten free restaurant that offers comfort food that's hard to find, and both gluten and dairy free, I'm over the moon! This was definitely worth the visit. There were so many great options that I had to order 2 meals. The breakfast burrito was the bomb! I haven't had a burrito in over a decade and This did not disappoint- I wish I would've ordered 2. The burrito was packed and was a large. With the brunch potatoes, it was definitely 2 meals. Plenty of cheese with the chorizo, eggs and breakfast potatoes was a great combo. I also had to try the chicken and waffles. It was also very very good! I appreciated the waffle was a great size. It was also thick and soft. The chicken was also crispy and pretty good. I also tried a cinnamon roll and brownie. The brownie was good but small, but the cinnamon roll was a bit dry. It was still good. Overall, I highly recommend Jewel bakery and will come back when I'm in Phoenix.

    I have been craving chicken and waffles. I discovered this place and they did not disappoint. I couldn't believe they were gluten free. The service was quick and everyone was so friendly. Definitely want to go back and try other things.

    Jewel's Bakery and Cafe offers much needed meals to this underserved food segment. Most places do not take food allergies seriously and it is a gamble if you will be served food that is either crossed contaminated with gluten or totally ignored. What puts this place over the top for me is vegan offerings are available, but most items regular. Service is always excellent at Jewel's! The only wildcard is how busy it will be when you arrive. The dining area maximizes its available space with enough tables without feeling like you're scrunched in.

    Excellent service. Outdoor seating available. I ordered the DF Belgian Waffle and it was amazing! I can't tell it's GF!! Egg white scrambled was perfectly made. Already bookmarked this spot! The lady was extra nice and friendly

    Arrived on a warm summer morning at opening. The location was packed at 8 minutes after the hour. We were seated and supported with drinks immediately (requested hot water with lemon). When ready to order, the waiter was nearby, pleasant, and attentive. We ordered waffles (vegan), vegetable omelette, side pancake, and side egg whites (scrambled). The food arrived in a reasonable 10 minutes and was delicious. The wife had come to this location the day prior and indicated that the experience and food were consistent. We loved the experience and will be back every time we come through the Phoenix area.

    Just had breakfast at Jewels Bakery & Cafe, and it continues to be my go-to spot. As someone with a severe wheat allergy, finding a place that's 100% gluten-free and still delivers on flavor is huge. This place nails it. Everything on the menu is excellent, but I usually order the chicken and waffles. It's that good. And if you ever see the cinnamon rolls available, grab one immediately. They're unreal and usually gone by lunchtime for a reason. What I love most is that you don't have to be gluten-free to enjoy it. The food stands on its own. If you're in the area, I can't recommend it enough

    We were on this side of town so popped over for lunch. Such a cute quaint vibe! The servers are prompt and so friendly! Being GF and our first time here in e ordered several items and came back the next day for more! Everything was absolutely delicious! Belgium waffle, popcorn chicken and donuts, chicken strips, onion rings, fried pickles, fish and chips, burrito. We will come back again soon!

    Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich

    I have been coming here for several years, usually after class at Metta Yoga (an excellent studio, btw). Today I came with my SO, who supports my efforts to be GF as much as possible. In the past I have tried the avocado toast(best I have had), the chicken and waffles, and sundry treats, coffees and teas. Today was the fried chicken sandwich. I am a fan. First, the chicken was crispy crunchy like "real" fried chicken. The slaw was creamy and a nice accompaniment to the sandwich so it wouldn't be dry, and the bun held up to the heft of the sandwich. My SO had I'm Basic, two eggs, potatoes, applewood bacon and a dinner plate- sized pancake. The pancake was slightly sweet, fluffy, yet had some texture without going to the gummy side. He thought it was very good and said he'd come back to try more options. Score!! Service was very good at keeping drinks filled. I appreciate the table side checkout. It was a Sunday late morning and business was brisk. Be prepared to possibly wait, but know the food will be fresh and tasty.

    Great brunch experience at Jewels Bakery & Cafe. Excellent service, lots of menu choices and good food. I ordered the Chorizo Hash Bowl served with two eggs. This item was one of three brunch bowls. The menu has many choices if looking for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and other. Breakfast with coffee was $22 plus tax. About par these days for the area.

    I do think food here is pretty good. But they don't offer any type of waitlist system, or take any reservations. On top of that, they don't have any type of notification system once you put your name down upon arrival. There's no text or a beeper so you have to wait outside (in 100+ degree weather) until your name is called. Any time we come here is a 20-25 mins wait so just be prepared. Also I feel like the quality of food has gone down overtime although there are still few items on the menu I do enjoy, such as the wedge hash brown. But overall, I'm not sure if it's worth the wait.

    That's gluten free?! We visited this place during our trip in AZ as me and another in the group are gluten free. Even the others in our group who are not gluten free were shocked that this food was gluten free. This place was AMAZING!! I wish we had one here in KCMO. The service was great, and the atmosphere is good. You could for sure get a couple cute Instagram pictures here.

    My whole group loved this place. This isn't just "good for a gluten free option" this is "good as a go-to option" I would love one of these local to KCMO at home. The food was amazing. While it tasted delicious, keep in mind, it still is gluten free so with that comes a more fragile bread. I had a buttermilk chicken sandwich and by the end I was grabbing it straight by the breading. I really enjoyed their barbecue sauce. I have also shared a flight of margaritas with my girlfriend. They were all pretty good and very strong. The service was great and attentive. The atmosphere was quaint and welcoming. If I were local, this would be a place I keep coming back to.

    What time does the bottomless mimosas end?

    We offer it whenever we are open. Tuesday-Sunday 9-3.

    Does Jewels take reservations?

    No but it is worth going and putting your name in. The food is worth the the wait. Amazing place for anyone - not just gluten free people.

    Dairy , gluten, egg, and bean free here (i know, weird.) i saw pretty great accommodations for dairy/egg free but i realize that they most likely use just egg (egg substitute containing beans) for dredging. is the egg substitute used for that?

    No.

    Yes!

    They can be ordered dairy-free. We have dairy free waffles, pancakes, and fried chicken!

There's no place to sit inside, but there are two nice parking spaces out in the front since it's a busy parking lot by a gym. They have several cases of sweet options, cakes that you can customize on the spot, and pastries that are topped fresh to order. They also have so many cake pop flavors. I didn't even know how to decide! The owner, Melissa, was so sweet to me! I asked her questions about the business, and what they do for catering. I love supporting local businesses, especially bakeries because I'm a baker myself. I talked to her about customizing an order for my place of employment in the next couple of months and she was totally on board to customize it how I wanted.

I was really happy with the service. They also offer baked goods and cake pops for purchase in store. The bakery itself is very nice and clean, with an open kitchen and workspace where you can watch the decorators at work. The cookies were some of the best I've ever had. I've ordered custom cookies before that were a bit hard, but these were so soft and absolutely beautiful. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. I also thought my cake turned out super cute. If I had to nitpick, I wish the 30 had been in a slightly bolder font like my photo reference, but overall they did a great job. The cake was also quite large and heavy. I believe I ordered the 10 inch, and it was very tall. The picture honestly doesn't do it justice. I chose the cookies and cream flavor, and it was pretty good.

In our day's Sunnyslope business, our niece took us to Kris Frybread. Arriving we saw Dawn's. She said Dawn's gets high ratings too. After our excellent Kris meal I made my way to Dawn's. I am infamous in the family for my dessert rxtravagance. But I share with all at our table. Take your choice! Our niece got cannoli, I got lidded shortbread custard cups, vanilla and almond. Sweet D got a cherry and an apple turnover delivered into the box. It is five days later. My sugar intake has dropped a lot. In our home baking we cut sugar ingredients by half. Older Hopi bakers put in enough sugar for a hint of sweet in their cookies. Modern bakers glaze them. I'll take those traditional ones. When I say the shortbread cup with custard was too sweet for me, that's my 21st century palate speaking. The almond cup was a buy-again item for me, still sweet, very almond. The cherry turnover was flaky, the filling tart, oozing fillng and cherries. The gold medal, blue ribbon "I'd buy this again, for sure is the apple turnover. We will return for some more flaky, apple-y goodness. The webpage makes mymouth water. I see many items are normal and mini sized. Great idea Dawn.

I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

    As a born and raised New Yorker, I take food very seriously... and Italian pastries even more so…read more Just before Christmas, I was traveling from New Yawk (visiting my parents) back to Phoenix to attend a family dinner at my partner's parent's home in Scottsdale. While I was still in NYC with my family on XMas eve eve, it hit me... I need to bring something besides wine everytime I go to their home. Nor a Southern dish. I wanted something unapologetically New Yaek. And what's more New Yawk than a box of classic Italian cookies? After asking a few Yelp friends where to find the best Italian cookies in Phoenix, The Sicilian Baker kept coming up. I called them last minute on Christmas Eve eve, having never been there before, totally sight unseen. First of all, their voicemail is hilarious. Truly. If you do nothing else, call just to hear it. It will instantly make you want to order something. Once I reached a real person, I explained my situation, that I wouldn't be able to come in beforehand, I needed a beautiful cookie tray for about 14-16 people, and I had a few must have preferences. Without hesitation, they said, "We got you." I was assured it would be ready when I landed on Xmas eve. Sure enough, after my partner picked me up from the airport, we headed straight to The Sicilian Baker. Parking right out front, a huge plus. As soon as you pull in, you're greeted with Frank Sinatra playing, not just inside, but even in the parking lot. It sets the tone immediately. We walked in, gave my name, and within minutes a lovely young person brought out my tray. Ten minutes later, we were on our way. Easy. Efficient. Warm service that made me actually grab a small box of cookies to drop my besties home on the way outta there. I didn't even realize at first that there's a sit down restaurant next door where you can relax and enjoy something. Great to know for next time ;) . Now, let's talk about the cookies. Yes, they are on the pricier side, but every single dollar was worth it. The tray was robust. Classic Italian pastries across the board like lobster tails, tri-colored almond cakes, cannolis, and all the favorites you hope for when you're trying to impress a room full of potential inlaws. And impress it did. The moment I walked in with that tray, it was a hit. People were already claiming which pastries they wanted, plotting what they'd take home, and hovering before dinner was even finished. There was more than enough for 16 people, grand is the only word for it, which is my style 1,000%. To this day, they're still talking about those cookies which makes me phenomenally proud (and humbled). I say this in all my reviews, "I hate almost everything. I'm discerning. I'm critical. And when something truly represents what I stand for - quality, authenticity, and heart, I will shout it from the rooftops". The Sicilian Baker delivered New York level excellence in Phoenix! Do not walk, runswiftly to this place if you need a gift, a show stopping dessert, or simply want to treat yourself. I cannot wait to go back. Highly, highly recommended.
