541 Eatery & Exchange

This place is great! It’s a shared kitchen space so not 100% celiac safe but they do have a dedicated gluten free toaster and did a great job of keeping my food separate. I got the breakfast platter with eggs, bacon, gluten free toast and home fries.

I was also really impressed by how they give back to the community. You can purchase buttons for $1 each and put them in a jar to “pay it forward”. Every person who comes in has the option to use 5 buttons for food if they need it. As a celiac I’ve always been concerned for fellow celiacs who don’t have as much control over their food (in shelters etc) and it was so great to see a place that made an effort to provide safe celiac options.
