My mom and I (both gluten intolerant) came here for breakfast because we read good things online. Neither of us are vegan but my mom is dairy free so a vegan place was a good option for us. They had many things marked gf on their menu including the scramble which we ordered, but it came with a side of sourdough bread stuck in the box even tho we had asked for no bread, because they were completely out of gf bread which was very disappointing. My mom really liked the scramble but I found it pretty sub-par. We did have a delicious mango and greens smoothie so they have that going for them. Overall I would not recommend for people who are celiac because they did not take our gf request very seriously

Delicious gf and vegan options. My kids had a difficult time deciding what to get for lunch as it's not the usual fare, but they tried some items off the almost all gf hot food bar and liked much of it. Roasted veggies, tofu, rice, beans, etc. The smoothies were also delicious and the ambiance is fantastic. Beautiful coutyard, books & games at hand. We stayed quite a while so they could finish their chess game.

Purchased a gfree donut there before reading the reviews. The cashier did say they were made on shared equipment but they go to a lot of effort to keep things separate. Since my celiac daughter had been glutened once on our vacation we waited til we got home and tested it with our Nima sensor. It came back “low gluten”. So if you have celiac, steer clear of the tempting baked goods. Not worth the risk. Still giving them three stars for honesty. A lot of other gfree options available. Fruit bowls, smoothies etc.

I shared a smoothie and a GF donut with my boyfriend and got kind of sick. I don't think I'll come back..it also was disappointing because the cashier said that there was no way cross contamination could be an issue for the donuts.

So cute and tucked away and the food is just perfect. We got the Acai bowl and some cookies and a donut and it is all Vegan and Gluten Free!!! So Yum! The atmosphere is amazing and there is a wonderful outdoor seating area by the creek.

While the staff appear to be very knowable and there are a lot of gluten free options they must have some cross contamination issue as I got very sick after eating a salad and a cookie.

Kombucha on tap, many GF and vegan items, and a really nice outdoor dining area in the back. Went here a year ago when they were in a much smaller space. Good to see they've expanded and are able to offer a larger menu.

This is a vegan cafe. I did not try any entrees just a delicious snicker-doodle cookie, but I will be back! Their "cheese" cake looks amazing and is soy free made with cashews instead of cream cheese. All desserts are gluten free!
