Agora always has at least a few options of gluten free and dairy free desserts which are great! Their teas and drinks are also very good. The staff is always friendly too.

The staff is so friendly and their baked goods are wonderful. I spoke with John who normally bakes for the establishment but was working the counter. He was very well informed and had a great working knowledge of his products. I am definitely coming back again. It’s the first time I have been able to have a biscotti in forever!

Staff super knowledgeable. They make sure cooking supplies for gf options are dedicated GF (unlike Sugar Shack, who doesn’t even wipe down their baking trays before making their one batch of ‘GF’ donuts for the week). Food isn’t just “good for gf”; it’s downright delicious [PERIOD]. Bonus: as of this review, they’re the only place in fred that doesn’t charge extra for non-dairy milks!

Muffins are good, coffee is good. Be sure to ask for creative suggestions for latte flavoring, if you're into that - I enjoyed the mocha-curry latte

This place is fantastic! I have both celiac and lactose intolerance and I can eat at Agora no problem. The pumpkin cinnamon swirl muffin, brownies, cake pops and macaroons are all GF, and most are also vegan. Best baked GF goods in three states. Never had a single problem here and I'm in 3 times a week normally.

The gluten free vegan pumpkin cinnamon swirl muffin is literally the BEST MUFFIN I've ever had. Soft, moist and oh so delicious. They also have amazing brownies. You have to try it!

This hidden gem is amazing. They serve fresh baked gluten free baked goods. While they do also serve items containing gluten, they make every effort to avoid cross contamination and utilize an open kitchen so you can easily see what may being made as well as ask questions. They do not have a large food offering, but what they do offer is delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The family who runs this place is so very friendly and knowledgable. My 5 year old son has celiac disease and he LOVES that he can pick any item with a purple border around its name (they have their allergen information color coded), he has never once had an issue here.
