Excellent food and incredible service. There was only one item they sell that isn’t gluten free but the lady was very clear about it and made sure I knew that everything except that one item was safe.

My fiancé and I went yesterday, since she has pcos we have been gluten free and dairy for some time and have both missed our baked goods. The food is simply amazing, the banana bread was so moist and flavorful, the cupcakes and espresso bites were Devine. We will definitely be stopping back in, I can’t wait to try the broccoli and cheddar soup and nacho cheese.

This was my second visit to Birmingham for business. I knew exactly where I was going based on my last trip. Picked up some bento boxes, blueberry muffins, cupcake and blondie. I’m set for the week. Thanks Joyful Kitchen for yummy safe food.

Very happy with the food choices and the service! Highly recommend the buffalo chicken bento box meal. The girl working that day was very helpful and answered all my questions. Will definitely be back next time we are going through the area.

It was my first visit to the establishment and was so glad to see it was TRULY totally dedicated gluten-free. I felt like a kid in a candy store to see my choices. I tried the Sloppy Joe (grass fed) Stuffed Bell Peppers with Roasted Lime Cauli-Rice and must say it was tasty! It was well seasoned but not overly and the portions were good. I was recently diagnosed with celiac‘s and am glad to see that I have this kind of option for good tasting food. Enjoying my cupcake now!

Found this GEM, Traveling from Georgia to Louisiana, staying overnight at a hotel. It's in the middle of nowhere and it's amazing. Delicious, safe, you go pick it out of a refrigerator case and making the choice is so hard because it all looks good. I had Sweet Potato Coconut Curry Soup, and smokey sweet potatoes. SO GOOD! Oh, yeah, and a cupcake that was 100% safe.

I have celiac, and Joyful Food Company is absolutely gluten free and delicious! My favorite place for granola, muffins, ginger snaps, bento meals, frozen dinners and sides. They also do made to order birthday cakes. I follow them on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with their weekly menu.

My son and I stopped for lunch. The staff was friendly and had plenty of gluten free items to choose from. They were kind enough to warm up my son’s selection. He enjoyed it and wants to go back for more brownies!

Paleo bread, muffins, and cookies, oh my! I had just about stopped buying gf bread in the grocery store and finally managed to get a loaf from Elizabeth despite my work schedule. Now I do not think I will even waste my time with other breads.
