I love this place and have been before w celiac. I learned today that everything is in a shared oven/toaster so the sandwiches, bagels and toast are at risk of cross contact. I had them prepare a custom granola bowl and it was delish. Now last yr, I DID get the GF beet hummus toast and on another trip the avocado toast, and I didn’t get sick. I don’t understand why but to be totally safe, if you have celiac I maybe wouldn’t risk it.

Got a gluten free bagel and cold brew! Bagel was yummy and didn’t have any adverse reactions. The girl that took our order didn’t seem very knowledgeable and we had to ask multiple times to make sure it would be gluten free. Other than that, would recommend and it’s a very cute lil shop!

I visited their adorable camper/pop-up in South Park. Delicious, inventive drinks, incredibly refreshing on a sunny day. I chose something naturally gluten free but they had everything marked.
