This was a delicious surprise we found in Rice Village. The staff was wonderful. The manager walked us through the menu and told us everything could be done Gluten Free. They treat all forms of gluten sensitivity as celiac and follow a strict protocol (separate area, new gloves, etc… but not cross contamination sensitive so didn’t ask a ton of questions about the protocol).
They have GF artisan bread, Cibatta and sesame buns that were DELICIOUS (and not Udi’s!). We got the “Not so Fried”
Chicken, Chicken Caprese, and Shroomlicious “Steak” sandwich. All were good but favorites were “Not so Fried” and “Shroomlicious.” Sides were unique and tasty. Refreshing lemonade concoctions. Beautiful patio. Great place for lunch.
They even made us an extra 1/2 sandwich to split as a sample since the samples inside were on gluten bread. Staff went above and beyond.
They have gluten-free options marked on the menu. Good service. You have to be wily as it appears there may be issues with cross-contamination. I got a salad but I think I should have asked for no nuts in the salad. I was slightly glutenated. (Sometimes places get nuts in bulk that have been processed with wheat and I wonder if that's how I got some gluten.)

Great selection casual dining. Lots of delicious dishes…mainly sandwiches and salads. Everything on the menu is clearly marked.
NOT celiac safe. Got EXTREMELY sick after my experience here
Staff was amazing! Above and beyond! So sweet and attentive. Food is also amazing and clearly marked on main menu. Portions are great! Come and enjoy!

The food was really good
First time in LA and around the grove. Came here with my friends and it was SO GOOD! They have a separate toaster for the gluten free bread and change gloves for an allergy. The staff was so accommodating and friendly, I would definitely come back here if I come back to LA!! I got the Farm Club sandwhich and it was TO DIE FOR! SO DELICIOUS
Sensitive celiac here. I eat and order sandwiches from here all the time. Never gotten sick. You do have to specify “wheat allergy” not “gluten free as a preference.” If you do so they’ll put your GF bread through a separate GF toaster and take other precautions.
My child had the grilled cheese on gluten free bread and said it was the best gluten free bread she has had and tasted so good!
The staff was great marking a gluten allergy with our order to help alert the rest of the team to take precautions. It was a great experience
Sometimes celiacs are just grateful there is a gluten free bread option for go-hum deli meat at a sandwich shop-even if it does taste like cardboard. NOT SO at this place. GREAT tasing bread holding together interesting, original insides! And house made lemonade to boot! It’s not cheap but it’s totally worth it! Happy tastebuds and tummy.
