Do not eat here. It is no longer safe for Celiacs. Since they introduced bread...it is all contaminated. They grab the bread and then the salad mix. Handle avacados, swipe the food run and then serve the food. I spoke to the manager and came back in and it was even worse. Bummer they have great salads.

The staff was not very reassuring about preventing cross contamination and I should have just left and not ordered anything. I got a greens bowl with chicken and the ginger sauce and had a mild-moderate gluten reaction 2 hrs later. Some locations may be safe, but this one did not adequately train staff.

Now that CoreLife has naan (wheat) tacos, there are major issues with cross contamination. Avoid if you have celiac disease.

Everything is gluten free (except an optional side of bread which is kept near the register away from the line). No danger of cross contamination! I had the tuna poke fire bowl and it was SPICY and delicious and felt very nourishing. Wish I could have tried everything on the menu! It felt like a Panera, but for Celiacs!

Love this place. I am Celiac and very sensitive to cross contamination. Eaten here several times and have never had any issues. Only gluten in restaurant is the bread at the end of the line.

Dedicated gluten free facility! The only thing not gluten free is a covered bread basket they have at the end of the line by the cash register and they ask if you want a piece of bread. One of our favorite restaurants!!

Great place for a healthy bowl, like Chipotle. Everything is gluten free except one item that is wrapped.

I love that pretty much everything on the menu is gluten free. When they prepared my bowl they changed their gloves and confirmed that everything was gluten free. I had the spicy Thai noodle bowl, but have also had their rice bowls and salad bowls. Everything is delicious. Great for a healthy quick meal!

I’ve been here twice and have never gotten sick. Good, tasty food and the staff were very knowledgeable about allergies and cautious. Plus, most of the food is gluten free or could be made gluten free! They also have lots of dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan options!

Hate to write this review as the staff were so nice and took extra precautions like changing their gloves, but I got sick from eating here. I am INCREDIBLY sensitive, so it might be fine for less sensitive celiacs, but just wanted to give a heads up for others.
