The gluten free options are huge here, there is a lot of variety. While visiting Boston this was my main eatery.

The food and service were awesome. The portions were big, and the prices were fair.

As a person with celiac disease I highly recommend this place!

I eat here regularly and though I do typically order the same thing (rainbow harvest ftw), I’ve never had a reaction! They do have a whole bunch of GF options, and I always leave feeling so satisfied. Great for dine-in, take-out, and delivery!

Tasty food. Main menu is mostly gluten-free, just a couple dishes are marked as containing gluten. Ate here a few times recently while in Boston.

So many safe, delicious options! They flag allergies and are careful during preparation to ensure no cross contamination. Got the breakfast hash and acai bowl and both were amazing! Plus the vibe is super cute
