Visiting Portland for the weekend and went to LB Kitchen our first morning. Everything I had was awesome, and almost the whole menu was or could be gf!! Had the pancakes, which are default gluten free. Such a good experience.

I come to LB kitchen often and they do a fantastic job of preparing things separately and making sure all workers are aware of people with celiac. They have a great selection of gf baked goods and they have the best gluten free bread I’ve tried! I feel very safe here.

Friendly service! The girl who took my order was also celiac- so I felt safe. :)

I got a chai tea latte and a BLT sandwich on GF bread. OMG THE BREAD WAS AMAZING!!

I recommend. :)

— Update- stopped in for a second time. Had the sammy and carrot-ginger soup! I also tried the Portland Fog CBD latte. Still amazing. 💕

Stopped here for lunch today and the food was delicious! It’s a little expensive (plus a $2 up charge for the gf bread), but we both really enjoyed our meals. Most things can be made gluten free and everything is very clearly labeled.

Fantastic bread!! It tastes like the real deal. Super soft and served warm. The whipped cottage cheese toast was great. There’s also a large selection of baked goods that are all gluten free and vegan ( don’t worry they’re not dry) I got a lemon cake and coffee cake go try and both were fantastic

They made sure to note that I can’t eat gluten and can’t have cross contamination (and made sure to let me know they did that so I feel safe). They used a separate surface to make my sandwich and it was really good. Definitely recommend stopping here for a quick lunch

Lots of gluten free options (with an up charge for most items). They will cook your food on a separate fryer on tinfoil if you request it. Also has a few GF dessert options.

Good food, lots of options, felt very safe! Would definitely recommend, also great for vegetarians and vegans. Not much seating (only a small back patio) so a heads up there.

My partner & I love LB! I go here about once a week. They are highly knowledgeable about gf. One time I ordered a sandwich and noticed it looked like it’d been griddled. I asked the manager and she said they keep a dedicated area of the griddle for gf stuff only, and I had no reaction. Also, their homemade GF bread is AMAZING. I wish they’d sell it by the loaf!

I had the LB sandwich and it was SO good! Bread was thick and did not fall apart like most gf bread does. Staff was super knowledgable and doubled checked with the kitchen that there would be no cross contamination when I said I have celiac. They made sure everything was prepared separately and I did not got sick (I am pretty sensitive to cross contamination).
