GF French toast bites are NOT SAFE FOR CELIACS. had these and became very very ill soon after. It’s a shame because their staff explained in detail that they would take all precautions… I have had their smoothies and those all worked out fine for me. Also their nachos were fine another time too.

I got sick there after I was reassured that they knew all about cross-contamination and how important it was for me to be gluten-free! Do not eat there!

got extremely sick ALL night after mentioning having celiac disease and ordering my meal gluten free. do not eat here if you are very sensitive.

Celiac friendly?

Our celiac daughter ordered GF French Toast and after a few bites became nauseous and subsequently had hours of vomiting and diarrhea. When we called we were told they have a small kitchen and cannot guarantee there will not be cross contamination. Not listed anywhere in their disclosure. My daughter is extremely sensitive to gluten so others may be able to risk it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Really awesome, staff knows the menu well and it's healthy!

Not celiac friendly. Threw up twice from eating there despite discussing precautions they would take. Seems like their bread just might not be celiac safe.

Unfortunately after taking a look at the kitchen and talking to the cook, I opted not to eat anything. Cross contamination is very likely with the setup. The "gluten free" options are not actually gluten free if they've been prepared on surfaces that have gluten on them, toasted in the same oven as gluten, etc. Not safe for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Exposed from a GF sandwich/GF cookie, unfortunately. Had high expectations!

Celiac friendly?

No

This place has the most creative sensational plates- I am never disappointed and they can always make substitutions for dietary stuff whilst losing absolutely no ridiculous deliciousness. These people may be wizards.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was delicious! Lots of GF options including baked goods. The Lavender blueberry square was amazing!

Several GF options, although the millet bread is not made in a GF facility. Staff is well informed and has details on all ingredients and is helpful with multiple allergies. Note that this is a vegan restaurant so if any in your party don't care for vegan food you might want to go elsewhere.

My wife is vegetarian and we both are gluten intolerant. When we asked if veggie burger has flour base and answer was NO flour, we couldn't contain ourselves. One word...awesome! Burger has nice spicy flavor when smoky cheesiness added (pea protein spread that looks like cheese).Oh and don't forget the deserts...gluten free as well.
