    *** Update: This cafe has now closed down***

    I discovered a great little cafe on Sharrow Vale Road last week, called Sebastian’s. I went to find a spot to have a coffee and breakfast whilst our boys were at their Saturday morning sports activity.

    And I think this place is a little gem! They have a separate toaster for gluten free bread so I was able to have avocado on toast. It arrived camouflaged under some salad, seeds and balsamic glaze, but was delicious.

    The menu also had salads, soup, frittata and felafels on offer as gluten free choices.

    And as I was working so hard :-), I treated myself to a cake after. Breakfast pudding – is that a thing? There was an assortment of polenta cakes and other sweet treats that were gluten free, and I was assured they were made separately to the gluten containing food.

    I went for a lemon and poppy seed polenta cake and it was blooming lovely. Possibly the best polenta cake I’ve tried – fairly light, nice and moist with a delicious lemony tang. I must go back to try the rhubarb one.

    It was a lovely way to spend the morning, even though I was working.

    I was also really pleased to spot the really welcoming allergy notice. So unusual right now, when there are so many disclaimers about.

    Any establishment with a coeliac chef or owner has to be a destination for me. I’ve been trying to get to Cello Coffee House for a couple of months now, and I had my opportunity on Monday morning. There’s nothing quite like the guilty pleasure of a catch up with friends after the chaos of school drop off, when I’m not at work.

    I’ve never really been to Greenhill, but it strikes me as having a great little community centre with a variety of independent shops. Not long after we sat down, the cafe was completely full and buzzing, so it had a great atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table!

    As the owner, Chris, is coeliac, he’s gone to a fair bit of effort to ensure there’s plenty of gluten free food on offer, which is great. There are plenty of home made cakes including some gluten free, and a variety of brunch and lunch options.

    Despite being informed about the freshly-baked, gluten free Creme Egg cheesecake, I felt it was a bit too early for cake, so I ordered a bacon butty with tomato and a coffee. The gluten free bread is from the bakery at Archer Road Sainsburys, so it was really soft and importantly, didn’t fall apart!

    Chris told me he’s having a bit of a refresh in a couple of weeks, so I’ll have to go back and check out the updated menus and decor…
