Great selection of bowls, salads, and sandwiches. I enjoyed the Uplifted bowl - Dragonfly rice, roasted chicken, raw carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, sesame seeds, and peanut sauce. There is also a selection of smoothies, beverages, and desserts. Everything is fresh, locally sourced, gluten-free and delicious.

One of my favorite places ever to eat. The pura vida bowl is just excellent. Everything I tried has been a hit. Amazing coffee as well!!! House made strawberry syrup is a must try.

First time here and won’t be the last! There is one thing about not having to say “gluten free for allergy” and just walking in someplace and getting the most delicious burrito you’ve had since your pre GF days…… by just ordering it….no muss…..no fuss…..no worries. The whole kitchen is 100% GF. The burrito wrap was awesome and didn’t fall apart! What a treat. I got the yuzu marg and it was equally delicious! The space is amazing and comfortable. Can’t wait to go back.

I was at a rehearsal in dinner in Newburyport and the location catered in a dinner for me from Dragonfly Cafe. The salad was so delicious. The owner of the cafe’s daughter has celiac so gluten has never been in the kitchen.

this place is awesome, owner and her daughter are celiac and the whole place is gluten free. Aside from the food (which was great) the atmosphere was so lovely! Very comfortable and lounge-y. The staff was also super friendly.

Be careful if you have any other allergies. I got a sandwich, ordered online and marked “dairy allergy”. It came with cheddar cheese on it. When I called to confirm, they said it happened because I didn’t write “vegan” on it. Refunded me but they didn’t seem to think it was a big deal. I would think the work allergy would register to them but I guess not

I just discovered this place last week. It’s about 2 blocks from the YMCA and some friends suggested we try it. It’s dedicated gluten free and the owners have celiac. They use many organic ingredients as well. Plan to spend $10-$25 per person, depending on what you get. The menu is varied so there’s something for everyone. If you are also vegan they do have eggs, cheese, and animal proteins but will modify or substitute upon request. I’ve been twice now and I hope they succeed. Food is good. Presentation could be better but don’t let that discourage you.

What a wonderful surprise to discover this place while we were at an all day event at U Mass Lowell. Absolutely delicious bowls. My kid even liked the avocado toast. (Kids didn’t love the smoothies unfortunately- too fancy with stuff like turmeric etc). I would go back to Lowell just to go here.
