Overall Rating

Review


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).
