We have eaten here a few times and have always had a good experience. They cook their GF items on one side of a (shared) kitchen and the handling has always appeared very safe. They are open to questions and are very knowledgeable. The food is delicious, especially the “cheese” sauce!

Review
The food here is great, especially if you're vegan. Unfortunately, I did NOT have a great reaction, possibly due to cross contamination. Our server did not seem to know what the gluten free alternatives were for items marked "gluten free option", so it's possible they did not make a note of the need to cook the table's items separately.

Spicy 🌶 fries! And I mean spicy 🥵 yum!
Vegan diner with lots of gf options. Dedicated fryer and dedicated cook top! Super safe place to eat. Lots of great drink choices.
No corn syrup, modified oils, articola colors or flavors.

Review
Such a great atmosphere here. I love to come in the afternoons for tea, coffee, or kombucha and a light bite and of course brunch! 80% of the menu can be made gluten free and all of their foods are house made. Great place to by yourself or with others. Cozy booths and bar. Convenient location right off of I-5.
I love their house potatoes and all of their savory breakfast options, as well as sandwiches and burgers.

Nice staff. Gluten free items on menu with additional options to make items gluten free. Everything is vegan so you need to be able to deal with highly processed plant based substitutes and fake meat. Food has good flavor, but overall not to my tastes.

Plant based. Separate area for GF prep and dedicated fryer! Knowledgeable staff, understands the importance of avoiding cross contact. Most menu options are GF or can be prepared GF. YUMMY!

Plant based diner with many gluten free options and dishes that can be made gluten free upon request. I ordered La Mesa and gluten free pancakes. Both were delicious!
