Better Bowls is all gluten free and vegan. Very decently priced. I usually get a large bowl and turn it into two meals. No dine in options, takeout only. Totally safe to eat. Service has always been friendly. Love this place.

My only issues are that 1) we neeeeeed more menu options as when there are specials they tend to run out super fast, and 2) like so many places that do vegan sometimes the substitute for all that lovely dairy is sugar and things end up way too sweet.

Completely dedicated gluten free! I recommend the southwest bowl and add soyrizo and add any of their lemonades and desserts. It’s my go to spot and I’ve never ever gotten sick there once! Plus the staff are super friendly! Also, follow them on IG for giveaways! They absolutely never disappoint.

Fully gluten free menu! They also mark which ingredients have soy, avocado, and nuts. Really the enjoyed the dressing on my bowl and the seasoning in the chickpeas! Perfect place to stop while on a road trip. Heads up, there is no seating though this is more of a grab and go place.

I'm not a vegan, so I was a bit hesitant to try this place. I'm glad I came. The food was delicious.

Site for sore eyes. In a city without much choice, this place is dedicated gluten free AND vegan! Bonus! Great choices of bowls: rice, quinoa, chickpeas, all sorts of veggies, various sauces, yummy lemonades. I bought a bowl for dinner and another for breakfast as I pass thru on a drive down CA.

This place is amazing! I went there for gluten-free cinnamon rolls. They had no problem making sure there were no oats in them for me as I am allergic. They were absolutely delicious!

I also had a breakfast wrap with a gluten free flour tortilla, tofu scramble, quinoa, black beans, spinach, onions, bell pepper, zucchini and salsa. I usually don’t like anything made with tofu but the wrap was amazing too!

I highly recommend this place and the staff is very friendly.
