LYFE Kitchen

Delicious and safe! We came here for brunch and found everything to be really yummy. They are surprisingly safe and the menu is very easy to identify. The Grand Sandwich (with GF bun), omelettes, oats were all good. Hint: the potatoes are super flavorful! Sign up for their app and you can get $5.

They marked our food as “gluten allergy” which is always a good sign. My mom got a smoothie bowl which she enjoyed. I got the OG Omlette which was just okay. They have a lot of options though and I didn’t get sick. They also have GF baked goods from a bakery and ice cream sandwiches!

Got the pasta pomodoro. It was okay. GF pasta and no cheese. Wasn’t super tasty and don’t love the menu options. Felt well after eating, just wasn’t for me. Nice establishment though.

Nice spacious fast casual restaurant. They have a well marked menu. I ordered the grand sandwich on gf bun and an iced latte. Sandwich was really good. It came with a side of breakfast potatoes with aioli and sautéed onions. Potatoes were cold. Sandwich was really good; the texture of the egg was perfect (I’m guessing it was prepared by sous vide). Iced latte was tasty; they only had 2% milk which was a bummer bc I prefer whole milk in my coffee. Bathrooms are impeccably clean and bright

Great atmosphere! I told the kitchen that I have celiac and they knew exactly what to do. I had the margarita pizza and sweet potato fries and it was so good! I didn’t have any celiac symptoms! I would definitely recommend. They also had a fridge with drinks and snack and all/most was gluten free too!

My organization ordered lunch from here and after placing an online order, I called to speak about my being gluten free and allergic to alliums. I decided on the keto scramble with bacon and I also got a Banana Kale Ginger smoothie with almond milk instead of apple juice. The host on the phone confirmed everything with the kitchen. The food arrived cold, but the quality of service was fantastic.

Food was delicious. Especially the Thai bowl! Food was marked as gluten free when it came out of the kitchen, and they only marked the ones that we said were an allergy (celiac). Was a fast casual sort of joint, which I wasn't expecting, but was still a good experience. Wish they served things on reusable plates, but that was my only complaint.

My office wanted to order in burgers for a staff lunch, and the burger place they chose wasn’t safe. I asked if I could get a burger and fries from LYFE and I am SO GLAD that I did! It was delicious, and the sweet potato fries were amazing. My burger came with a little gluten free flag in it so I felt even more sure that there was no mixup. Amazing!!!

Staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. Had a burger with fries (yes! They have a dedicated fryer) and lots of other yummy sounding options I can’t wait to try next time

Phenomenal place for a hearty snack or lunch. Love that I can get sweet potato fries here (baked in an oven). Salads, bowels, tacos... can’t go wrong! They are awesome about cross contamination too. This place is now on my “go to” list for lunches.

Celiac friendly?

Fabulous! A safe place for me for delicious and healthy food while my son is in the hospital. And their banana smoothie was great for him to have when he was able to start eating again. Absolutely safe for celiac. I get very sick from the slightest cc and was perfect here! Thank you, Lyfe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got the margherita flatbread and my sister got the chicken sandwich on a GF bun. The flatbread (which is basically a margherita pizza was absolutely delicious - chewy, flavorful, and crisp on the edges. The bread on the chicken sandwich was pretty crumbly but she said every other part of the sandwich was delicious. Prices weren’t toooo bad considering it’s Chicago and our food was ready really quickly. Also, neither one of us got sick afterwards. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food, great staff. They had gluten free cookies! They put the GF cookies on the top tray, so no crumbs from regular cookies would fall on the GF cookies. We got the buffalo cauliflower tacos and baked sweet potato fries - both were amazing!

Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. My daughter with Celiac loved their flatbread and chicken sandwich.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great options for adults and kids. Staff didn’t bat an eye when we mentioned celiac. Delicious and easy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My experience was marginal. I ordered abbot on gf bread it came with two pieces of bacon, two pieces of very thin sliced deli turkey two tomatoes with a smattering of lettuce I was really disappointed it was like a giant piece of bread with hardly any filling. They use udis bread in case you're wondering.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lyfe Kitchen was a lyfe saver during our family weekend vacation to Chicago. Our son was recently diagnosed as celiac and this was our first vacation where he had to eat out 100% of the time. We stayed at the nearby Doubletree and were pleasantly surprised that the Lyfe kitchen was a block away. Our son ate two meals here both were delicious and 100% GF he had no symptoms after eating here. I would say it was a little pricey for the entire family but I really didn't care since he felt great after eating both meals.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable and accommodating. In addition to Celiac Disease, I have multiple food allergies. They were happy to help me figure out which dishes could work for me with some changes. Tasty and healthy food! No negative food reactions at all!

Wonderful options for my wheat Allergy. I had the quinoa crunch bowl with added grilled chicken. My only regret was that I couldn't finish all of it. SOOOO good. Server seemed very knowledgeable and customer service of entire staff was top notch... even during a period where the building gas had been shut off causing them cooking challenges.

Safe, yummy, and healthy. That's a win in my book! Quick service with a uplifting, casual vibe.

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.
