Beware: ask to see the oats packaging before ordering, I haven’t check it at this location but the Glenmont location does not use gluten free oats and half the menu has oats in it so I don’t know how they can market themselves as gluten free.

This establishment is 100% gluten-free and vegan, so if you have a dairy or egg allergy, as I do, you're still safe! Delicious waffles, smoothies, smoothie bowls, and salads in a cute atmosphere with outdoor seating. Everything I've had there is Amazing AND you can order online and pick it up to go. I don't know why there are safety concerns from others. Again, everything is gluten-free. But if you're that worried about the oats and granola, leave it off. You can customize everything and the staff is very accommodating. For example, I can't have garlic or peanuts. I subbed cashew butter for the peanutbutter and a sweet waffle for a savory. It's so nice coming into a place where everything is healthy and you can get anything on the menu!

This is a GF facility! Hence no need to have a separate menu. I even did a little homework and called the company that supplies the oats for their granola, who in turn was happy to connect me with their oat supplier to confirm that all oats are Certified Gluten Free, so safe for most Celiacs. I love eating here because I can eat anything I want!

Bare is great! The smoothie bowls are loaded with toppings. The texture is a little slimey, which I don’t love. Their cashew coffee is SO good!

They told me that everything in their facility is gluten free. I don’t know if I trust the oats. They use Sysco brand oats and are not marked gluten free on the label. They use planet oat oat milk in some recipes (which is labeled gluten free). Their granola toppings have gluten free oats.

It’s nice to have somewhere to go that feels safe! The food is naturally colorful and healthy!
