2nd time coming when visiting Chicago. Ordered brussel sprouts, tacos, and gulped down their lavender lemonade. The tacos were vegan and they were okay. The food came marked with a gluten free flag. Offered some gluten free bakery treats, the magic cookie is good. Overall a safe and healthy place. Really cool atmosphere and spacious.

Great vegan options and close to hotels if traveling to Chicago. I find it best to come early or on weekends because food does taste fresher then

Went there for dinner since it was within walking distance of our hotel. We were not disappointed. The food and drink were very good and my wife who is gluten sensitive did not get sick afterward. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. We'll be going there for brunch

Staff was knowledgeable. Lots of GF and dairy free options. All indicated on menu. Great for take out too if you’re looking for something quick.

Delicious! They had several gluten free options on their menu. We ate there for breakfast and dinner. Both meals were great. Our 7 year old daughter has Celiac’s and she didn’t get sick either time...best of all, she loved her meals! They served her meals with Gluten Free flags, which indicated that the chef was aware of her allergy. Highly recommend this restaurant!

This place is fantastic. Once I told the staff I have Celiac, they explained how they prevent cross contamination. The food is fresh and tasty! Highly recommend. I’m Celiac and Vegan.

The Farmhouse burger w/ a GF bun was one of the best burgers I have ever had!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great menu options and my child with celiac loved her burger! They seemed to take proper precautions. They had gf cookies that are prepared separately. My only question was the tongs used to get them as I didn't ask if they used them on the non gf cookies. Otherwise, great place to go.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place has tons of gf and healthy options with nutritional information clearly marked. I eat here all the time and have never gotten sick. Definitely Celiac safe.

Menu has GF selections noted for easy decisions. The staff is knowledgeable and offered me a sample of delicious corn chowder before I ordered it. The salmon was tasty. They have soft GF cookies and delicious drinks. As a Celiac, my taste buds were tickled! Great customer service, great food, and ambiance.

loved the fish tacos. the pumpkin donut was excellent.

Great choice of GF items on the menu. Also like the attention to quality ingredients and good nutrition.

October 2017, no separate GF menu. Menu has a number of items marked GF. No GF bread was offered for sandwiches- boo! All flatbreads use GF flatbread though. Feel that there is not as much choice now.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgable and helpful to ensure a GF experience. They notified the cook to avoid cross contamination. Much of their menu is GF and plenty of selection. Would recommend this casual spot for those suffering from celiac disease.

Daughter has celiac. Spoke with manager and was assured no issue. She knew right away what celiac was. Red flag went up when food delivered to our table as all meals were on the same tray. My daughter really enjoyed her meal but paid for it for two days after as meal had gluten contamination.

Amazing staff, very knowledgeable on Celiac and the gluten free lifestyle. I enjoyed all of my breakfast food and the great atmosphere.

Yummy food, inexpensive, great environment! Wish they had these in Georgia!!!

Really great. Inexpensive for the quality. Felt super safe there.

All of the flatbreads are GF and if you ask for a sandwhich they use the flatbread to make it. I was assured that the GF options were seperately made, just tell them you have an "allergy". Great food and service.

Great burger with gluten free bun, side salad, and some baked sweet potato fries (baked has less chance of cross contamination). I am both gluten and dairy sensitive, and had no problems.

They accidentally served me a burger with a regular bun instead of the gluten free - I questioned it a few bites in and caught a chef on the way by - the manager comped my meal and they remade the burger. We'll see how sick I get, I'm a little apprehensive at this point. But they've been super nice about it.

The sweet potato fries were delicious though, and I was enjoying my burger until I realized that the bread seemed too good to be true.

LESSON LEARNED: the gluten free items should be specifically tagged when they come out from the kitchen - if not, ask your server to be sure!! In my case the cashier didn't catch/tag that the meal needed to be gf.

Many delicious GF options. They were extremely careful with our celiac order

Extremely sensitive celiac & react the same to corn.

I got the blueberry smoothie, scrambled eggs & potatoes. Everything was good. Onion on the potatoes was a bit cold but otherwise things were good. Nice seasoning on the potatoes.

Overall, the food was decent AND I did not get sick. That’s a huge win for me and I will definitely return if I’m in the city again
