Excellent food, great quality. Would love for the sandwich bread to be a bit bigger but that is a common theme for GF everywhere. Love the smoothies too!

Be careful if you have any other allergies. I got a sandwich, ordered online and marked “dairy allergy”. It came with cheddar cheese on it. When I called to confirm, they said it happened because I didn’t write “vegan” on it. Refunded me but they didn’t seem to think it was a big deal. I would think the work allergy would register to them but I guess not

Hands-down the best healthy dedicated gluten-free cafe I’ve ever visited! Almost everything can be dairy free as well. Amazing salads, sandwiches, soups, smoothies & coffee! My whole family agrees. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing!

Nice selection. Great atmosphere where you can work alone quietly or sit with a group if friends. Good tasting food and takes out the stress if "finding" something safe to eat!

Amazing atmosphere and even better food! We had the smoothie bowl, dragonfries, Vermont grilled cheese and a lavender haze smoothie. It was all phenomenal! Can’t wait to go back and try the grain bowls and salads!

I just discovered this place last week. It’s about 2 blocks from the YMCA and some friends suggested we try it. It’s dedicated gluten free and the owners have celiac. They use many organic ingredients as well. Plan to spend $10-$25 per person, depending on what you get. The menu is varied so there’s something for everyone. If you are also vegan they do have eggs, cheese, and animal proteins but will modify or substitute upon request. I’ve been twice now and I hope they succeed. Food is good. Presentation could be better but don’t let that discourage you.

What a wonderful surprise to discover this place while we were at an all day event at U Mass Lowell. Absolutely delicious bowls. My kid even liked the avocado toast. (Kids didn’t love the smoothies unfortunately- too fancy with stuff like turmeric etc). I would go back to Lowell just to go here.
