The food here is amazing and staff is very knowledgeable about Celiac. Both were so sweet and helpful! Joshua and Ava were so nice and joshua called the manager to see if I could buy the waffles and freeze them for later. Everything is Celiac safe, I'm super sensitive and was fine after. The waffles were the best I've ever had and didn't taste gf at all. The owner was sweet enough to sell me a batch of them to freeze that I picked up the next day. I will for sure be back!

Staff is knowledgeable about GF and cross contact. Açaí bowls use GF granola, and the waffles are GF and staff raked extra care to not cross contact waffles with gluten. Had Açaí bowl and it was good

Joy has many gluten free options - smoothies, pressed juices, smoothie bowls, ice cream. Everything is fresh and you can tell the staff and owner really care about ensuring their customers are comfortable and happy when it comes to food allergies and sensitivities. I feel completely safe ordering here.

Cute little shop right on the main drag in Shell Beach. Have some local/artisan items for sale as well. Very friendly for dairy free, vegan, and vegetarian folks.

A bit pricey, but safe. Açaí bowl was a little on the basic side, but was still good and the granola was great. Dedicated toaster for GF toast as well.

Juices pressed on site and frozen yogurt that is gluten free and organic. Bowls are to die for and the ginger shot will bring you back to life! A must try!
