USE EXTREME CAUTION. THIS PLACE IS NOT SAFE.

I am celiac and have been eating at Vibe successfully for the last 2 months. They don't have a ton of Gluten Free options, and are often out of things (i.e. gluten free bread), but you know. I can do an acai bowl or something and call it a day. Also, they do have an external, dedicated gluten free baker that makes AMAZING cupcakes. My baker, non-celiac partner confirms that they're not just gluten-free good. They're GOOD good.

That said, I went there last week and got gf avocado toast and a gluten/dairy free lemon cake sundae and had a HORRIFIC reaction. The worst I have ever had. I'm not sure how the food was contaminated, or if someone made a mistake, but it was a BAD scene. I won't be eating food there again (but they do have nice cocktails).

Visited there recently. Talked to the server and the manager. They said they have gluten free food but can’t take care of cross contamination. I asked them to toast the bread in a pan (as they have shared toaster) but they said they can’t do that. Further they mentioned that if I get food and didn’t find it to be gluten free using Nima, they wouldn’t be able to refund it and advised me to eat somewhere else. They do have some muffins from a dedicated gluten free bakery which tested gluten free with Nima. However, they were ridiculously over priced ($6.5/muffin).
