What a treat to be able to order a sampler with so many different GF dishes, and GF injera, too! Every single thing on that plate was delicious. The coffee was sooo good, too, and the flourless chocolate cake was fudgy, rich, and satisfying without being overly sweet. The server was incredibly nice. My only complaint would be that the servers were standing up behind the register, watching us eat -- it's a small place -- and that made me less comfortable than I would have been otherwise, but I would definitely go back, and maybe sit with my back to them next time. 😂

Entire menu can be gluten free with exception of a couple of their desserts. Waiter asked as we ordered if we needed our food to be gluten free. We did not and did not have our daughter (who has celiac) with us. So, I can officially vouch for the safety, but we were impressed with the menu and the waiter asking. I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars simply because we couldn’t officially check safety of food.

Ate the lunch buffet here-there is someone scooping out what you want though, so no chance of someone switching spoons on you. Everything is labeled GF and/or vegan, and the GF bread is also vegan and yummy...worth the extra $2. There are quite a few GF options, everything I tried was delicious. Will definitely go back.

Everything except the bread is gluten free and they have a gluten free bread option. Don't have to worry about cross-contamination here!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Kansas City area. They go through great lengths to offer GF and Vegan options. They even have GF Injera!

They have gluten free Ingir bread. The food was excellent. We had a sampler platter and none of the dishes contain gluten. We enjoyed our little feast :-) One person in our party is celiac and they had no symptoms / discomfort the next day. Thumbs up!
