Kitanda - Acai and Espresso

Amazing açaí bowls and sandwiches! The naturally gluten free rolls are delicious and their granola on the bowls is gluten free. I explained to them that I have celiac and am highly sensitive to gluten and they offered to change gloves, put a clean pan in to heat up the sandwich, and clean off the prep area/put down parchment paper while slicing the roll. Definitely not a dedicated gluten free prep area, but I am pretty sensitive celiac and had no issues!

Their sandwiches are all made on brazilian rolls that are made with tapioca flour so they are gluten free, and sooo good. The person at the register seemed new and less sure about cross contamination but the people who prepared the food came over and assured me there was none, and they changed gloves just to be extra sure. The menu says that the granola used in their bowls is also gluten free (and nut free). Love this place.

Brazilian cheese bread is naturally gluten free! The tapioca flour makes it fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside - truly a gf dream.

This is a Brazilian coffee shop with açaí bowls, a great espresso selection, and the best part...a Brazilian special cheese bread. You can get breakfast sandwiches on the bread which is naturally gluten free made of tapioca flour. Highly recommend for breakfast!
