Smoothie bowl was pretty meh. The flavors didn’t mesh well together, and the GF granola tasted weird. If you’re used to places like SunLife I think this will disappoint.

Very tasty açaí bowls. I asked if they could make sure there was no cross contamination and they told me that they put gluten allergy on the order ticket. And they make sure they clean the area they assemble the bowl. And double wash the blender before they blend the açaí bowl. They have gluten free granola for the bowl as well although it is an extra $1.50.

Backyard bowls is one of our Go To places for a GF meal/snack. They are very conscientious about cross contamination. They have a GF granola (substitute for the regular)!

The orders are marked as an allergy and steps are taken to make sure there is no cross contamination. Offer quinoa for breakfast bowls and GF granola for smoothie bowls. All smoothies are GF, and everything is vegan except for the yogurt and the avo + egg toast.
